Pastor's Tantra

After Ligeia left, Aiwass refused the palace maid who came to clean up the room, and instead asked Lily to pack up all the burned things in the room.

——To be honest, the charred chair under Aiwass, as well as the burned books, letters, and newspapers are all very precious things!

With a little processing, they can be used as good ritual materials. It can even be used as material for Aiwass to make fantasy cards.

Even though the power of the flames elicited by Aiwass is not great, it is still the fire of Tiansi in terms of personality.

His power attacked Aiwass from his hallucination - or in other words, his dream, causing damage to parts of reality other than Aiwass. This kind of power that can "seep out from dreams into the material world" is the most standard power of Tiansi.

And these mortal objects burned by Tiansi's fire also acquired the characteristics of extraordinary objects because of the influence of this power.

The birth and death of a thing have special significance. Fengqiwu and lightning strike wood are both precious ritual materials.

Just like a mortal who has been unremarkable for decades and no one remembers him, if he is suddenly punished by God and dies one day, then he will have some kind of specialness after death. Instead, people will remember this man who died in an extraordinary way, because his death has been tainted with the aura of God.

Lily followed Aiwass's instructions and collected all the ashes. They were then crushed and covered over the tantra book. In this way, not only can they extract the power of the tantra from the same source and reduce its activity to function as a seal, but it can also slowly increase the quality of these materials.

And the chair can also be chopped into wood and stored first. This thing can later be used to draw the power of other apostles or Tiansi to make incense or charcoal... However, Isabel still has to be compensated. After all, it almost caused a fire.

Although Master Yanis is watching, things will definitely not get too big. But this is not good after all.

After quietly watching Lily finish cleaning up, Shadow Demon, who was hiding in the shadow under Aiwass, suddenly said: "My master... are you the type who is afraid of pain?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid of pain.

Aiwass was not ashamed at all, but admitted this very calmly: "There is nothing shameful about this... rather, it shows that I am sensitive enough. If humans are numb to pain or endure pain, the body will be very sensitive." Problem-prone.

"Just like people's instinctive fear of water, because not everyone is born with the ability to swim; people will feel pain when they come into contact with fire, because if they are burned, they may be infected or even die. Pain and fear are the most common things that humans use to protect themselves. Good armor."

"Of course I understand this kind of thing."

Shadow Demon replied in Miss Chloe's sweet voice: "I am not a native devil... Although it has been a long, long time, I was once transformed from a human. Of course I know that humans are afraid of pain. of.

"...I just watched you, feeding us with pastoral care almost every night. I thought you were the type who can enjoy pain..."

Feed us…

Aiwass' brows twitched slightly, thinking that this shadow demon has really high emotional intelligence.

Because he actually didn't spend much time feeding Shadow Demon.

After that, when he reaches the third level, he is already out of the novice stage, and his promotion speed may be slightly slower, but before that, his promotion speed is completely overflowing compared to his promotion. It was all because of the half-month or one-month built-in cooling during the ceremony that stopped him.

The time he used the shepherding method was except for the first two times when he tamed the shadow demon...that is, in the past half month. And in the past half month, he basically fed the Flame-Contrary Butterfly.

After all, the Paraflame Butterfly is a high-level phantom demon that has been formed, but it is not of sufficient level so it cannot exert its full power; and the Paraflame Butterfly's abilities are very comprehensive, it can hit people, use light cannons, cast spells, heal, and dispel. The Shadow Demon is only a high-level demon. It is still far away from the high-level Phantom Demon. It is estimated that it will need to evolve once or twice.

A fully developed high-level phantom can become an apostle as long as it is noticed by any Tiansi or Pillar God.

But Shadow Demon is obviously impossible.

Although Shadow Demon is still a BOSS in this version, after only two major versions, Shadow Demon will become an elite roadside monster.

Shadow Demon is like a must-have SR for beginners. Now that it has a pretty good level of training, it is no longer cost-effective to feed it dog food at this time. Moreover, Aiwass cannot feed it even if it is full. Obtain breakthrough materials; and Flame Butterfly is the first SSR that Aiwass drew, with a very low level and a promising future.

At the same time, Shadow Demon is not currently Aiwass's big beast, so it does not occupy the big beast's shared playing position. So the two of them can appear at the same time... Then with limited resources, it is very reasonable for Aiwass to choose to feed the lower-level SSR first!

The only problem is that Shadow Demon seems a little...jealous?

It's like a dog that has been raised at home for a long time and suddenly finds that the owner has brought back a kitten and then takes care of the kitten in every possible way - even though he knows in his heart that the cat is a kitten that needs to be taken care of, he still feels unbalanced.

But now, Shadow Demon discovered something - is the master afraid of pain?

That nature is different.

——If the owner is so afraid of pain, why does he feed the Flame-Destroying Butterfly using the shepherding method every day?

Aiwass just smiled when he heard this.

"It just makes sense because I'm afraid of pain."

He replied casually: "If the process of sharing my flesh and blood with you is very pleasant and enjoyable, then it cannot be called sacrifice. Naturally, it cannot be called dedication and kindness."

If you feed some body parts that are painless, non-dangerous, and even pleasurable—for example, hair, nails, etc.—because you are afraid of pain, then the shepherding method will not be effective.

"It is precisely because I am afraid of pain and death that my actions of cutting my wrist and holding the blade are sacred; it is precisely because I am in such pain and fear, but I only have compassion and kindness in my heart. Only then can the shepherding method be used.

“If the injury no longer threatens me, or I have become familiar with or blocked the pain, the power of pastoral care will also decrease.”

Aiwass patiently explained to Shadow Demon.

If one day, Aiwass' body's recovery ability is so strong that when he cuts his wrist with his front foot and the wrist on his back foot heals immediately, then this behavior will no longer bring him any danger.

By then, Aiwass might have to slit his throat.

In the same way, if Aiwass has gradually adapted to the severe pain of clenching the blade of the knife and can endure it without changing his expression even without using the shepherding method, then he may have to scrape the bones and cut the flesh.

"No wonder……"

Shadow Demon suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice.

"……No wonder?"

Aiwass heard Shadow Demon's words and was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"The breath of your pastoral method is fluctuating all the time. The sweetest breath I feel now is the first time you used your pastoral method on me... and every time after that, it is like It’s not as sweet as that time. Although it’s equally sweet, it’s like sugar water and mead…the former can certainly make people feel happy, but the latter can make people’s heads swell.”

Shadow Demon said respectfully and nostalgically: "After that shepherding, I felt that I had a connection with you. It seems that part of your life is flowing in my body, and I can feel that feeling all the time. Warmth... It's like walking in the ice and snow, but there is heat flowing in the body."

The girl's voice was full of longing: "I am so eager for your gift. After that, I will no longer devour human flesh and soul, but only miss your kindness. My master, why are you How can I taste your true kindness again?"

Hearing this, the clear and tender voice of the Flame Butterfly also came from the side: "I want to eat too, brother."

Although she didn't know what Shadow Demon was talking about, it was definitely right to mention it at this time.

"Gluttony has enough, but you are not burdened with the sin of gluttony!"

Shadow Demon was a little angry, and his voice became hoarse and dry: "There is no reason why you can get everything good!"

"Don't worry, you two, I won't be able to feed you for at least half a month..."

Aiwass replied casually, tentatively postponing the dispute until half a month later.

He had a slight headache.

This is only one and a half beasts of great sin...

When he gathers six big beasts, what kind of fight will he have?

...But, the first time?

Aiwass recalled.

That was the pastoral method he tried immediately after reading the Pastoral Tantra.

At that time, he didn't know what would happen next, so he was full of fear; and at that time, he didn't know how much the shepherding method would hurt him, so he held on to the ceremonial knife with extraordinary force - tightly to the blade. Cutting off muscles and getting stuck into bones; that was also the first time Aiwass hurt himself, and he also carried the fear and resistance of death in his heart.

When the Flame-Contrary Butterfly was sealed by him, Aiwass had already gone back to school. Most of the time, he has something to do the next morning. Even if he doesn't have classes, he still has other schedules, so he doesn't dare to let himself get too weak.

At that time, the flesh and blood he fed the Flame Butterfly every day was all that his body could bear according to his calculations. He didn't feed all the mana, but kept some for the fire sacrifice.

Because Aiwass had reservations, was it true that the shepherding methods that the Flame-Contrary Butterfly received after it was born were not that strong in the first place?

No wonder Aiwass always feels that the improvement of Shadow Demon through pastoral methods is greater than that of Paraflame Butterfly...

It turned out to be no illusion. It's because Aiwass's mentality has changed.

Thinking of this, Aiwass's mentality became a little subtle.

Maybe this is the reason why Shadow Demon is never in a hurry even though he is a little jealous.

After all, in Shadow Demon's view, the Butterfly of Flames had never eaten anything good at all - the most delicious one had already been taken away by her, and it was just mass-produced after that.

However, after Aiwass understood the principle of animal husbandry to produce flesh and blood, he probably understood how to enhance the effect.

——To put it simply, don’t feed him so calmly. Be a little crazy, preferably to the point where you can scare other people...

"Aiwass!"

Before Isabel arrived, an anxious voice came from the door: "Are you okay?"

The shadow demon under Aiwass instantly sneaked into the shadow, and the flame-ridden butterfly also stopped on Aiwass's shoulder, remaining quiet like a decoration.

"Ah, I'm fine...what's wrong, Isabelle?"

Aiwass raised his head and greeted, "Are you going out?"

"There seems to be some excitement over at the port."

Isabel looked very energetic: "Would you like to watch it together?"
