Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 304 Lancelot’s Soul Fragments

"That is……"

Haina thought of the knife.

In order to relieve the headache of cognitive confusion, she said everything she could.

After listening to the story she told, Aiwass raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Like a fox who caught a chicken, he showed a proud and ambiguous smile.

Sherlock on the side also noticed the flaw immediately.

"Ah……"

Sherlock sneered, crossed his fingers and leaned back: "You are really slow, Haina."

"……What?"

"Just tell me, that beautiful dagger is engraved with the twisted Elvish language."

Sherlock asked, "Did your father give it to you?"

"Yes, he said he wanted me to hold this. It can be used for self-defense."

Haina replied.

When she said this, she suddenly realized something: "You mean..."

Sherlock interrupted her directly: "Your father is a dwarf craftsman.

"He is an extraordinary blacksmith with a heritage and can make extraordinary equipment. Even if he wanted you to have something to defend yourself on the way to school, how could he give you an elf dagger? In other words, if he wanted If I asked you to take care of someone, why did I only give you an elf dagger?"

The blacksmith is proud of the tools he forges, and the dwarves are quite confident in their forging skills.

At the same time, the dwarves were generally hostile to the elves. Magnetic Hammer is a typical dwarf blacksmith.

So in this case, in order to protect his daughter, a dwarf blacksmith did not give her any equipment he made, but only gave her an elf dagger?

"Moreover, the dagger was lost later. But I forgot where it was lost, as if it suddenly disappeared one day."

Haina remembered what happened next, and immediately continued: "I was worried for a while. I was afraid that my father would find out that I had lost his things when I went home... so I didn't want to go home for a while. , or in other words, I didn’t dare to go home. Because the dagger looked very expensive, and I was very scared.

"I had prepared lies. Either I said I had left it in school, or I lent it to a friend for protection. If I really didn't believe it, I said I had hurt someone and gave the dagger as compensation.

"But when my father saw my empty waist, he didn't ask me anything. He never asked me anything after that...

"I was very lucky at the time, but I was still very scared. I was always worried that my father had forgotten this time or had drunk too much, and he might be discovered next time. So I was still a little uneasy..."

It wasn't until a long time later that Haina slowly got used to it.

But at that time, the awe of my father was still imprinted in my heart. That's the kind of fear you feel when you know you've done something wrong and you're worried that your parents will find out.

"Did you throw it away too early?"

Sherlock asked: "Did you lose it a long time ago?"

Haina pondered for a while: "If you say so... it should be so. It's been so long that I really can't remember it clearly. But I had a very... lively personality at the time.

"I remember showing it off to a lot of people and carving tables with it. If I had held it long enough, I thought maybe I would have done something else. But I didn't, so I thought It should be lost pretty quickly.”

"Then I have a guess, Haina."

Sherlock said calmly: "Is there a possibility that the person who gave you this dagger was not your father?"

"But……"

Haina reflexively wanted to refute Sherlock.

But as soon as she spoke, she suddenly got stuck.

She did remember clearly that it was given to her by her father.

But later, my father seemed not to remember the incident at all...

And just like Sherlock said...why did his father suddenly give him an elf dagger?

After the "Trees Grow" incident, she suddenly wasn't very confident in her memory.

"Is there something wrong with my memory again...?"

"I think not."

Aiwass spoke slowly, ending the discussion between the two: "If I guessed correctly, someone should have turned into the appearance of your father and lent it to you. In other words, her goal was to let you use it Take them out from Eagle Point Village."

"She?" Haina caught something.

"……smuggling?"

Sherlock also thought of something from this behavior: "It seems like someone smuggled something out through Haina."

Aiwass nodded to Sherlock: "That's right."

"Do you know that dagger?"

Looking at Aiwass's reaction, Sherlock finally understood why the fox had such a happy expression on his face as he had stolen the chicken.

"Yes, I know it. I've seen it."

Aiwass nodded.

As he spoke, he took the key to St. Guinevere's Chapel from his waist.

He held up the key, which was as huge as a dagger, and asked Sherlock, "Do you know what this is?"

"A fragment of a red-handled sword?"

Sherlock crossed his arms, lost in thought: "Do you want me to tell you this answer?"

He paused and suddenly opened his eyes: "Could it be..."

He also remembered——

Because Sherlock has also seen that dagger - or, in other words, seen another dagger with a similar style.

"That's it."

Aiwass nodded.

Then he turned back and confirmed to Haina: "You said that dagger has a lake-like blue-green blade. If you face the sun, you can see the gradient from dark blue to dim yellow from the side, right? "

"……Yes."

Haina nodded.

The corners of Aiwass' lips raised slightly: "Congratulations. You have been recognized by the Holy Sword Alondette."

Haina was silent for a while without any response.

She hesitated: "What holy sword?"

"The holy sword held by Lancelot I, the founding monarch of Avalon, is Arondette. It is a sacred weapon of the same level as my red-handled sword."

Aiwass said slowly: "Its characteristics are that it is as radiant as the lake under the moon, and the sword is engraved with elven characters. But just like the red-handled sword was sealed, Alondette was also divided into two parts by Merlin. Two, from one long sword to two daggers.

"One of the daggers is in Queen Sofia's bedroom and is passed down as a national treasure. It should be inherited by Isabel..."

The other one... was stored somewhere by Merlin as the real ritual formation base of [Shadow of Avalon].

It was used as an anchor to guide Lancelot to resurrection.

Aiwass briefly explained the Shadow of Avalon ritual to the three.

The last step of the Shadow of Avalon is to use the dagger of Alondette inherited from the royal family to pierce the heart of a direct member of the royal family.

The other dagger storing the fragment of Lancelot's soul will echo from a distance, and through the ritual, Lancelot's soul will be completely absorbed to the fragment. The principle is the same as the cursed doll of the Path of Beauty. Then rely on the "mirror" principle of the Path of Beauty to transfer the soul to another dagger of Arondette.

Quantum entanglement belongs to yes.

——And now, the dagger has been stolen.

Haina is that vehicle.

"In other words," Sherlock was stunned, "Yingjia Village is the base of this big ceremony?"

"It's entirely possible."

Aiwass nodded.

The only thing stored in St. Guinevere's Cathedral is Lancelot's dying "corpse".

Aiwass and Sherlock had just visited the basement there, and even used it to hold a ceremony. There was no ceremony there either.

And the ceremony must have a ceremony place.

As a ritual that has continued to operate for hundreds of years, Shadow of Avalon must have a stable enough base. At the same time, it must be discreet enough to prevent others from interfering with the ritual. At the same time, as a large-scale ceremony, it must take up a lot of space.

In summary……

"Maybe the secret lies in that goblin cave."

Aiwass was a little excited: "I suspect that Merlin's ritual is hidden there! And now it is very likely to have been modified..."

After so long, he finally found a piece of the truth.

If Merlin's big ceremony was arranged in Yingjiao Village or nearby...then everything would be connected.

Why has there been no development here for four hundred years? Why did my grandfather, a fifth-level magician, choose such a small place to spend the rest of his life? Why do the trees here grow so strangely but are so indestructible? Jacob can easily perform the "Swampman Ritual".

And...the villagers here sacrificed their names to protect something here almost immortally.

Also, why does Haina, as the child of dusk and devotion, possess the characteristics of authority and transcendence——

Aiwass looked at Haina.

If his guess is correct...

Haina is not her parents' biological daughter at all.

She is most likely a clone - and a clone whose soul has been altered.

Not the primitive form of Swamp Man. Rather, it is a new form born from the combination of the "Newborn Ritual" and the reactivated "Swampman Ritual."

This can explain why she looks very similar to her mother and brother, but her path is strangely completely skewed.

Transcendence and authority.

There is indeed a man whose soul is so inclined...

That is Lancelot, the chief knight who accompanied Arthur to fight against the giant in the past, and the founding monarch of Avalon, "Lancelot".

The attributes of his path are transcendence and power. After Arthur was sublimated into the Silver Crowned Dragon, the "power" path in his body was washed into a more powerful "authority" power.

Since then, he has inherited a strong sense of authority in his blood. With the help of the Silver Crowned Dragon, he selectively removed the power of transcendence from his bloodline.

And his princess Guinevere should have the adaptability of love and beauty. That’s why there are people like Sophia and Isabel who are naturally inclined towards the path of beauty who occasionally appear.

If Haina's body contains Lancelot's soul fragments, that would explain why she is so special.

Not everyone can use the Dagger of Arondette.

It is basically a royal weapon...

But Haina can use it.

But Aiwass can be sure that she has absolutely no royal blood.

From this point of view, the person who handed the dagger to her should be Merlin's ex-girlfriend... Vivian, the apostle of the Shadow Sky Division.

The Path of Love If you want to change your image and appearance, it couldn't be easier.

Then Vivian should be Jacob's collaborator!

"but why……"

Aiwass frowned again.

He suddenly realized something else.

If Haina is necessary, why doesn't Jacob value her so much?

Jacob even tells Haina stories about Arthur on purpose. That is obviously to awaken Haina's transcendent nature!

What if Haina is an experiment?

An experimental product used to test "whether the soul of a newborn baby can accommodate other people's soul fragments"...

Thinking of this, Aiwass suddenly fell silent for a moment.

He thought about himself.

In other words, he thought of his suddenly awakened but genuine...

——Alien memory.
