Pastor's Tantra

In the game, when searching for Veronica's body, you can get [a letter sent by someone to the Noble Red Society].

This is a must-explode prop for early main quests. It is directly used to start the next stage of the main task.

And this "someone" was the agent of "a certain minister" who was later involved in the incident.

Aiwass couldn't remember who this person was, and he couldn't remember who the minister was... but it was enough to know a general range.

Just like during the final exam, the teacher has defined the exam scope in advance.

Excluding those people whom Aiwass had no impression of, and those whom he clearly knew were absolutely impossible, there were actually only three people left who were possible.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister of Law, Minister of Trade.

What they have in common is that the three of them are all high-ranking, over-500-year-old fat middle-aged men who are friendly to others and very popular. When wearing regular clothes, you can't see your shoes when you look down. This is what Aiwass said about this "certain minister." "impression.

Choose one of the three classics.

One of the three of them was bribed by a spy sent by the Star Antimony Kingdom to regularly and secretly deliver some top-secret high-level information to the Star Antimony Kingdom. The remaining two are innocent.

——The medium they use to transmit information is the "Noble Red Society".

The Star Antimony Kingdom behind the Noble Red Society intends to subvert the Kingdom of Avalon - this was the main line until version 0.

This minister is the mole responsible for the connection between Star Antimony Kingdom and Avalon.

A true traitor.

Letters exchanged with him are naturally top secret. Such an important thing will definitely not leave your body.

After all, there are many thieves in Avalon. If they steal something like this quietly and make it public, their lives will not be enough to kill them.

If this letter falls into the hands of the Supervision Bureau, it may not be effective. If he had planted nails in the Supervision Bureau, he might have been cleared out directly.

But when Aiwass gets it, things are different.

He could completely follow this letter and trace that "someone" in turn. Then you can know which of the three classic choices is the traitor.

【……My master】

A low, roaring, and hoarse voice, like a lion that had just woken up from sleep, sounded in Aiwass's ears.

That's the shadow demon under Aiwass.

A slender black snake made of pure shadow, as thick as a girl's arm, crawled along Aiwass's left leg, waist, and chest, all the way to his throat.

The shadow snake's eyes glowed scarlet, and it hissed out smoke-like black snake messages.

Then the lion-like voice turned into a snake-like hoarse voice:

【What are you... doing? 】

"As you can see, destroy evidence of my own crimes."

Aiwass was not afraid at all, and did not even lower his head to look at the black snake wrapped around his neck.

He just focused on retrieving evidence from Veronica, and at the same time replied casually: "And searching for other people's criminal evidence."

When communicating with these demons, you must not appear tired or scared.

Because the more you are afraid of it and afraid of it, the more the devil will look down on you.

The so-called "demon" is not the alien creature from the abyss in other fantasy settings, but a type of phantom demon.

The most accurate statement is that phantoms from beyond the path are called demons. But after the generalization of the name, phantoms that do evil in other ways, phantoms with dark attributes, and phantoms that look like demons are all generally called demons by people.

Phantoms are a kind of special life that has no material body, no lifespan, and will not die completely. It only belongs to a single path, has self-awareness and the possibility of gradually becoming stronger. In most cases, they are born from drawing power from different paths, and a small number are transformed from organisms.

Aiwass's sister Yulia is in very bad health. Specifically, she is in a state of near-perpetual fever. This is because she is pregnant with the seeds of the phantom. From this perspective, she can be regarded as the birth of the phantom. Sacrifice.

Demonologists who advance by mistake can also transform themselves into demons through a complex ritual. In other words, I directly turned into a phantom.

These are the two main ways to transform into a phantom.

Because orthodox demons all come from the path of transcendence, they all have the pure characteristic of "intending to surpass the strong and despising the weak." That is, a careerist character who has strength and action, and is extremely proud.

The devil who signed the contract can gain experience in practicing the path while the master is walking on the path of transcendence. They cannot do this on their own.

Because the devils of the original species lack their own desires - they lack the goal of transcending.

As long as he has a promising future and has clear goals and strength...that is, to prove his determination and ability to walk on the "path of transcendence", the devil will not betray his master for the time being.

If the demons recognize their temporary master, even if the master is in desperate situation, they will not defect and will even fight for him until the last moment. Because the devil will not disappear when the master dies, the devil is not afraid of death. If the master can survive certain death, this intense destiny that transcends adversity greatly satisfies the demon.

Therefore, if the devil feels that you are not pure enough, have insufficient abilities, and have no hope for the future. If you can't provide him with enough food from the following behaviors, he will figure out how to leave you.

It doesn't sound like anything, but rather it's quite normal - if you feel your boss isn't good enough, just change jobs and change companies.

But after signing the contract, the devil cannot leave his body until the devil scholar dies. So once the devil dislikes the master with whom he signed a contract, he will find a way to kill him. Demons cannot harm their masters, but there are still many ways to kill a person.

Many demonologists only summon demons that are only slightly stronger than themselves. It is because they are too afraid of the devil and worry that they cannot satisfy the devil's appetite.

But Aiwass was not afraid at all.

Because these demons looked like ambitious workers to Aiwass.

It made him look very kind.

Some who are capable and ambitious will go to big companies, that is, submit their resumes to high-level demonologists; but there are also demons who like to respond to low-level demonologists, like those who like to go to start-up companies. Beat workers.

Some have insufficient abilities and are not wanted by big companies. These are the low-level devils and little devils. Some want to start their own companies but have no capital, so they invest in startup companies with the intention of one day seeking power and usurping the throne. These are deliberate responses to low-level The high-level demons summoned by demonologists came here because the other party couldn't control themselves; some of them were simply tricked - they applied for a resume to a big company, but were assigned to a job with more work and less money. In the subsidiary company.

It's like being summoned by a high-level demonologist, and then being controlled by a low-level demonologist to sign a contract. In the Kingdom of Star Antimony, which is beyond the legal realm, this is how their instructors catch demons for their students.

Aiwass's Shadow Demon is also of this type.

Of course, Shadow Demon's situation is a little more complicated - because Aiwass himself is the sacrifice that tricked it into coming here.

It's okay to turn your salary card into a master and become a boss.

Later, when Aiwass makes a blank card that can fully accommodate it, he can completely seal the Shadow Demon into his own beast. At that time, it will no longer be a demon, and it will be impossible for it to betray itself.

But now, Aiwass still needs to show off his abilities.

...There is no other way, now is the labor market.

He still has to perform more or less.

Once you sign a lifetime contract, you won't have to worry about the Shadow Demon Devourer.

Although the Shadow Demon was sealed away in a wheelchair by Aiwass, it has always remained in Aiwass's shadow. It must have seen everything that happened before.

This is also another purpose of Aiwass's trip - to stabilize this deceived job seeker by demonstrating his planning ability, conspiracy level, and lying level along the way. Give Shadow Demon enough spiritual food to make him recognize himself.

"Now, what do you think of me?"

Aiwass asked casually.

Upon hearing this, the black snake around his neck melted and dripped, turning into a pure black hound.

It rubbed Aiwass's calf affectionately and made a low sound.

【Perfect, delicious, excellent...】

Obviously, Shadow Demon was very satisfied.

Black Dog opened his mouth and said word by word: [I am looking forward to your future...our future]

"——In that case."

Aiwass threw away the letter that belonged to him: "Then destroy it and leave."

【Hehehe...】

Shadow Demon laughed lowly.

After several seconds, it responded:

【Your will...Master】

[Looking forward to you, wake me up next time...]

[At that time I hope to eat real flesh and blood]

The black dog jumped up and picked up the letter. When it landed, it fell into the mire-like shadow and disappeared together.

The letter was directly melted into nothingness. Like a plastic bag that has been roasted by fire, it blackens, shrinks, wrinkles, shrinks, and disappears without a trace.

There is no doubt that if it bites a living creature, it will be dragged directly into the shadow and melted.

This is by no means something Aiwass can do with just one level of "shadow power". It was the result of Shadow Demon's own actions.

——This is exactly how the Shadow Demon is showing off its "hunting" ability to its owner.
