Pastor's Tantra
Chapter 187 Counterattack Ritual: Shadow of Avalon
...The Silver Crowned Dragon mentioned me?
What good could that be? !
He still remembered it.
The first time he was watched by the Silver Crowned Dragon was because he swore not to use his own race as ritual materials... and that was because of old Moriarty's inducement. After all, only ghosts know that such a level of restraint as a "simple oath" can summon the almighty Silver Crowned Dragon.
Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly felt a thump in his heart.
——Could it be that the Silver Crowned Dragon thinks that I know the sin of heaven?
That has nothing to do with me, it’s entirely James’ father’s problem!
Avas suddenly felt guilty: "Your Majesty... what did you say about me?"
The Silver Crowned Dragon is the pillar god of the path of authority and the god of kings. Therefore, it is also okay to directly address the other person as Your Majesty.
Her Majesty the Queen's words made Aiwass' heart stop again for a moment: "He said that you are a born transcendent, which reminded him of himself when he was young."
——I am super!
At that moment, Aiwass realized that he might have fallen off his horse.
If the Silver Crowned Dragon could praise him, it was probably because he saw his performance in the advanced copy of the Transcendence Ceremony. This Aiwass was not surprised. After all, it was the ceremony presided over by Gawain, the apostle of the Silver Crown Dragon... He would then mention a few words to the Silver Crown Dragon. Aiwass's behavior was also normal.
But Aiwass never expected that the Silver Crowned Dragon's mouth would be so broken - why would the Nine Pillar God still chat with humans?
Si Zhu has a good temper, but I have never heard of Si Zhu talking to someone about such a thing?
Since the Silver Crowned Dragon can mention this kind of thing, then at least Her Majesty the Queen probably knows that she is a practitioner of the path of devotion and the path of transcendence.
Then the lie she told about "Aleister" would be easy for her to see through.
After all, Aiwass chose this code name at the time to commemorate his past.
"Aleister" is a variant of "Alexander". Just change a few of the letters and it will sound like this when read in another country's language.
Precisely because in the Iris language, Aleister and Alexander are written in completely different ways, so Aiwass is not worried that any Iris people will find out his identity. After all, he had seen his biological father's face during the ceremony, and it was 70% or 80% similar to his own. If anyone knows him, he may be able to recognize Aiwass's origins at a glance.
——To put it simply, it’s like the “shrimp catcher” joke. The more Iris people are, the harder it is to understand what Aiwass is trying to do - on the contrary, it is possible for the Avalon people to understand.
And since Her Majesty knows that Aiwass is also an adaptor of the Beyond Path, she may know that Shadow Demon is his contracted demon. Then she would naturally be able to see through who "Aleister" really is.
But the good news is that even if my vest fell off, it didn’t fall off completely——
Because the Silver Crowned Dragon praised himself, in other words, he was recognized by the big boss.
At least, his way of transcendence is now legal. The Queen could say such words to him directly at such a moment, which meant that she would not cause trouble for him.
Previously, Aiwass was worried whether he would encounter the palace ritualist when he came to the Palace of Silver and Tin.
Although he has never seen it before... no matter how he thinks about the palace ritualist raised by Avalon, he must at least have a third level, right? At least once you get closer, it will be easy to see through your identity.
The good news now is that Aiwass will not be dragged out and hanged for exposing his identity as a demonologist.
The bad news is that the big guardian next to him is already looking at him thoughtfully.
——Grandma, please take it easy! George and David were still listening!
...Or are you saying this just for George?
Fortunately, the Great Guardian intervened at this time and changed the topic that Aiwass couldn't handle at all: "What will happen next, Your Majesty? Is it still the same as before?"
Same as before?
Aiwass, who was silent without saying a word, suddenly noticed the words of the Great Guardian.
"Well, that's enough."
Her Majesty the Queen nodded: "Whether Albert can survive or not...at worst, I'm going to die anyway."
What is this talking about?
Aiwass was puzzled, but did not dare to ask. We can only analyze that this may be related to some sacrificial ceremony...
Fortunately, at this moment, David said in confusion: "Dad, Your Majesty...what are you talking about?"
——Good boy, you also have the heart to transcend!
Aiwass praised David in his heart.
This kind of topic sounded top secret, and I didn’t even dare to ask. How dare you ask directly in person!
Miss Aleister will praise you very much when we meet again!
But Aiwass also belatedly realized that the Queen was not sad, and it seemed to have nothing to do with whether she was used to it or not...but there were other reasons.
Because Her Majesty the Queen looked at David, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. He seemed quite satisfied that he had asked the question.
The Great Guardian did not scold David, but lowered his head and asked: "Can you tell these children, Your Majesty Sophia?"
"These are the pillars of Avalon in the future," the Queen said with a chuckle, "Tell them, these secrets will be passed on to them. Anyway, the curse should be over."
Aiwass was suddenly startled.
The point is, what she said is really right...
Her Majesty the Queen actually guessed it?
This is information that Aiwass has never come across in the game.
It has nothing to do with Aiwass not watching the plot, because players who watch the plot don't know what the curse is.
Aiwass only knew that the last person to die in the curse was the current Prince Andrew. No one has died since him.
Logically speaking, after the Queen's death, the throne should be inherited by Isabel's father, Prince Albert. He is the first heir.
But it's a pity that he is a useless person - at least in terms of his royal status, he is a useless person. But he's also a good guy.
In the plot of the game, before the queen was assassinated...he heard that he might inherit the throne, so he ran away secretly.
Of course, saying he escaped may not be very accurate.
Specifically, he went sightseeing.
Like Isabelle, Prince Albert also lacked the adaptability of an authoritarian path. Therefore, although he is almost fifty years old this year, he only has the second level of authoritative power.
He has absolutely no interest in the throne. He prefers to travel around the country like a minstrel carrying his own special guitar.
He was a pretty good luthier, transforming the shape and sound of guitars. This is his masterpiece.
He gave up his claim to the throne long ago.
However, according to the plot line in the game, after the death of Prince Andrew, there are only three heirs left in the royal family:
The two-level authoritative path, the third-level wisdom path Prince Albert; the third-level beauty path, the cowardly and autistic Princess Isabel; Prince John who is less than three years old.
——Obviously, even if Albert explicitly gave up his inheritance rights, his words at this time would not count.
So he ran away directly. He used magic to change his appearance, assumed the name of the bard "Yunus", and relied on rewards and performance fees to travel around the country and help the poor and poor. After the fall of Avalon, he also went to the Theocracy. Whenever Isabel met him when she was in the team, his voice would always be exaggerated, as if he was singing - he was still a pretty popular funny character at that time.
It wasn't until a later side plot that players learned that "Yunus" was Prince Albert. He wanted to rescue Isabel who was in danger, but because he was too incompetent, he caused even greater trouble - it was already the plot of 2.0 at that time, Isabel was almost level 40, and Yunus was still Less than level thirty.
After finally solving the task, he told the truth.
It was only after he was done running that he realized what he had done was not quite right. But he didn't dare to go back, so he could only do his best to do good things and help others to make up for the guilt of escaping responsibility. When Avalon was restored, the popularity he accumulated among the people also played a big role.
Because of this, Aiwass never considered the possibility of Albert's succession.
——When he knew that Andrew was dead, he immediately knew that Isabel would become the queen of the next generation. So Aiwass was actually quite happy at that time, but he just didn't dare to show it in front of the Great Guardian.
"The situation is not complicated."
The Great Guardian said to the two young men: "You should know that the twenty ancestors of the founder's family are now apostles of the Silver Crown Dragon, right?"
Aiwass and David nodded.
This is common sense to them.
"However, His Majesty Lancelot, who is also the founder of the country, did not actually ascend to the dream world and become the apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon."
At this moment, Aiwass was suddenly shocked by the words of the Great Guardian: "He is actually still alive, because he can never let go of everything in the material world. The body is kept in St. Guinevere's Chapel, while the soul is in the shadow." Training in the kingdom... is a kind of phantom. Occasionally, you can meet other colleagues who have become apostles in the dream world.
"As long as the blood of twenty-one Du Lac who died in murder can be resurrected, the ancestor will be resurrected. He will come back to his body again, holding the holy sword Alondette awakened by the blood and unsealed - he It will become Avalon's invincible blade. If anyone thinks that Avalon is weak at this time, or chooses to betray Avalon at this time... then they will encounter a surprise.
"In fact, we really don't know who the curser is... because our ritualist has blocked all possibilities of non-contact curses three years ago, so that the other party can only use catalyst curses. In order to kill instantly If a person dies and we have no time to save him, a large number of catalysts must be used to arrange a long-term ritual. From then on, we almost knew what the problem was."
Curse catalyst - that is, things like blood, hair, nails, underwear.
"Because despite deliberate destruction, the person who can still obtain a large amount of royal family members' catalysts for a long time is most likely other royal members. This is why the royal family has never conducted an in-depth investigation. Because some people have indeed been poisoned... "
The Great Guardian had a profound meaning: "If the purpose of the curser is to exterminate the royal family of Avalon, or just to let Princess Isabel succeed to the throne, then he should go from the easy to the difficult. It is impossible to skip the easy to curse. People use poison to kill people who are not easily killed by the curse - for example, Prince Cornet, who shaved his head to prevent the curse, so he was poisoned to death.
"Meg has always stubbornly believed that that person might be Prince Andrew - in fact, she also has no evidence, she just intuitively thinks there is something wrong with him. And we actually have our own doubters... For example, I once said I doubted Prince Albert. But now it seems that Meg’s guess is correct.”
"After all, Andrew died of a heart burst..."
Her Majesty sighed: "I hope it's him too. But it seems there is no other possibility."
Aiwass also suddenly reacted...his heart burst, which was a symptom of the Heart-killing Curse.
This curse requires fingertip blood, and blood from the middle fingers of both hands.
Generally speaking, this is very difficult to obtain. It is generally used to punish those who break the contract in the terms of the contract. When pressing the fingerprint, the curse is burned into the contract.
This is probably why people are generally less sad...some become more serious and some become more relaxed.
After all, everyone knows that no matter who inherits the throne among the remaining three, there is actually not much difference.
The cause of Prince Andrew's death is basically proof that the Curse stabbed his collaborators in the back and completely erased the evidence.
Aiwass also understood why the quest line of tracing the curse in the game was closed after the death of Prince Andrew; until the Queen was assassinated at the banquet a year later, the quest line of tracing the curse was not continued in the middle, and this matter could not be solved directly. That’s it.
It turns out that the upper echelons of Avalon actually knew that the curse was over... and it would be difficult to get reliable evidence if we wanted to trace it. Since the opponent cursed Andrew to death, he should have probably retreated.
“If you don’t break, you won’t stand.”
The Queen said softly: "Avalon's path is too single, and I have tried my best to change it. But it's still too late... I think they took action now because I chose to change.
"In more than twenty years... no, at most ten years, Avalon's ritual and curse technology will be restored. They realized that if they didn't take action, it would be too late. That's why they took action now , chose the most brutal method to weaken Avalon."
Her expression was serious and solemn: "But the blood of Du Lac will not be shed in vain. We are the descendants of the Dragon Slayer... If we are to be destroyed, we must bear our anger.
"Before this, there were only three people besides me who knew about this matter. I will also tell Meg and Arius about this matter later... Both of them are from civilian backgrounds and don't know about the Avalon War." Shadow' this ritual."
It was also at this time that Aiwass could truly realize that... this seemingly kind and kind old lady was indeed a rational and ruthless monarch.
For the sake of Avalon's future possibilities, she was able to endure the royal family being cursed one by one.
In order to draw out the rebels within, to bring Avalon back from the ashes...
Reminiscent of the previous contact between the Silver Crowned Dragon and Her Majesty the Queen.
... Could it be that the destruction of Avalon was the Silver Crown Dragon's plan?
Fake death, right?
But in that case, there is no need for the Queen to really be assassinated... Could it be that she was really assassinated? However, who would have known that the Queen is the last step in the ceremony...
And, speaking of.
The Shadow of Avalon seems to be a version that was opened as a sacrifice by Isabel's brother...
Aiwass was suddenly startled and remembered another thing.
——He can't let the Queen complete the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual at this time!
Because there was something wrong with this ritual, it was not Lancelot who came at all, but Scathach, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows!
