Pastor's Tantra

"……I understand."

Aiwass's mind suddenly opened up: "You stole the Tears of Time in order to murder the White Saint - your purpose is to destroy Freya and Gray at the same time!

"You don't want the research on curing Ning Ba to continue, and you don't want the inheritance of the Eternal Saint to continue to be passed down. So you plan to use the medicine synthesized by Freya to murder Pure White and frame Freya!"

"snort."

Loki smiled noncommittally.

So, this part is correct.

Why only a third? Since only one person was murdered in the first place, even if the performance decline is taken into account, this is enough.

If Bishop Mercedes had not died and if nothing happened to Gloria, Aiwass would have never thought that the stolen potion would be related to Loki and Pure White. They would only go to the Eleventh Circle to ask Cardinal Loki who the prisoner was, and even regarded Cardinal Loki as a friendly NPC.

"……so."

Aiwass asked: "Why did you murder Bishop Mercedes and Gloria Blue Rose?"

"I told you, I didn't kill them."

Loki sighed helplessly: "I have passed the age where I have to lie in every word. Only when every word is the truth can the remaining lie be believed.

"Please recall carefully, Aiwass, what did I actually say at that time?"

—Death of Bishop Mercedes? That has nothing to do with me. I know this because I saw it.

——You can’t even protect Bishop Mercedes, and you still want to protect Aiwass?

——As far as I know, Bishop Mercedes did not resist when he died.

He could see that Gloria had killed Mercedes. Mercedes was stabbed in the uterus, died from injuries that were completely impossible to kill, and showed no resistance throughout the process.

Rocky said to Pure White that Aiwass's troubles were much bigger than Mercedes', and they were also related to the past that was chasing him; he also said that this matter had nothing to do with himself, but it had nothing to do with him. Relates to people of controlled fire.

And Loki only explained one thing among these things. That was Gloria's suicide.

...but if so.

Why was it not Loki who promoted Gloria's killing of Mercedes, but Professor Moriarty?

——That’s at least 80% accurate!

Because of what happened, Aiwass would still be wary even though he instinctively thought there was nothing wrong with Loki. In addition, the person who died happened to be Bishop Mercedes, whom Junbai cared about, and Junbai's relationship with Loki was not good, so she would inevitably compete with Loki.

It was precisely because of Gloria's suicide that at the moment the Tears of Time was stolen, everyone who knew about Gloria's death subconsciously suspected Loki.

And if Loki’s real purpose is the Pure White Saint and he wants to frame Freya as the blame...

Then he should act as little as possible and reduce his sense of existence.

Pure White has already begun to condense. How much impact will the death of Bishop Mercedes bring to her? Loki does have Tears of Time on hand. Does he really need this kind of thing to force her to freeze?

Loki is Moriarty's mentor and the forerunner of the "Controlled Fire" worshiped by the elves. It's not like he's an idiot.

If Loki is the wildfire giant... Judging from his current reaction, it also shows that he has already been able to control the rage in his blood.

Trolls are imitations of giants, and among the few trolls Aiwass saw, although there were also fools, there were also two smart ones. As the prototype of trolls, giants cannot lack wisdom. Just like the giant in the north, it cools its brain through extreme cold. Once you can control the primal rage deep in your blood, you will be enlightened on the path of wisdom.

Loki can't be stupid.

Judging from Bram's appearance, he was probably being played around by Loki - he was someone protected by Si Zhu, and he was not even afraid of the threat from Xiong Tiansi. But he is only afraid of his former student Professor Moriarty.

In addition... this makes Aiwass feel familiar, "all clues and evidence point to the same person" style.

Although Aiwass was able to ignore the misinformation to a certain extent at first by relying on prior intelligence; but as evidence continued to appear, he was still involuntarily shaken.

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger...Aiwass is not exempt from this rule.

Loki is indeed guilty.

Stealing experimental supplies, intending to murder the saint, and also wanted to frame Aiwass's sister Freya.

But the fact that Gloria killed Mercedes had nothing to do with him at all!

Tears of Time can indeed make people freeze quickly... but even if it can make people depressed without experimentation, it cannot make Mercedes die willingly.

This kind of manipulation of people's hearts is more like Professor Moriarty's style.

In this way, Aiwass understood——

"So that's it, the order is reversed!"

Aiwass's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "It's not that Gloria was stained by the tears of time, depressed and then broke down to kill Mercedes, but because she realized that she had killed Mercedes. collapsed……"

The person really controlled by Professor Moriarty is probably Bishop Mercedes.

She entrusted Gloria to help her perform the ritual and save her soul; but Gloria woke up and realized what she had done, and her originally good mood completely collapsed. Oswald could also open the door that only the papal guards and cardinals could open.

Although he is not currently serving as the Pope's Guard, he still holds the inheritance of the Pope's Guard. Aside from their clothing, their powers are identical.

"...Then why didn't you make it clear at the beginning?"

"it works?"

Cardinal Loki sarcastically said: "When you came to me, the purpose of my rebellious student had already been achieved. Whatever I say is just sophistry... If I say more, it will be easier to reveal my true identity." the goal of.

"It's better to turn it around and use it to attack Pure White. Look at her stupid look... maybe she will withdraw from the papal election on her own without me taking action."

In this way, everything Loki said is actually correct:

——Rather than delaying the freezing of amber and finally having her soul frozen in those sculptures, she hopes for a short and brilliant death.

——How can you define that what she did to Mercedes was a murder... rather than a rescue?

——Are you so sure that she wants to survive and wait for the future Ningpo with you?

Rather than telling lies with the truth and making people think that every sentence is the truth...

Cardinal Loki's use of lies goes to a higher level - he uses all the truth to make people think that it is all lies, in order to achieve the effect that only people think he is lying.

"...Is it because of Sister Freya?"

Aiwass murmured: "Because she is the daughter of Anna Kingsford...so when your plan was to frame her, father planned to teach you a lesson. That's why he used these two words to 'certainly die'" "My life interfered with your plan and exposed the secret you were hiding in advance."

"James is not that kind of ordinary person. Maybe he was bewitched by love in his youth, but now he can no longer be called a human being."

Loki spoke slowly and suddenly started to move forward: "I don't know why he suddenly hindered me...but one thing I am sure of.

"That ritual that Mercedes performed... I'm keeping it a secret from you because it also helps with my plans.

"James has such a character. He will always propose a plan that everyone agrees with, but the ultimate beneficiary is always him. Even if he knows that this is a conspiracy, he cannot easily escape from his trap. Because you can't Accurately judge whether he wants you to be silent or to resist. And his understanding of people's hearts has surpassed my understanding of the stars.

"I believe you are missing the last clue. With this clue, you can complete all the truth.

"And I'm going to give you that chance."

Loki took a step forward with every word he spoke. Aiwass stood motionless, with no change in his expression.

As he approached, Vignes flew down from Aiwass's shoulder and stood between the two.

She suddenly felt a strong threat - her scarlet pupils dilated, and she made an unpleasant and loud crow quacking sound.

"Mercedes is pregnant with a child. The marriage between Mercedes and the other person is not entirely for love, but also because she wants to interrupt the inheritance of the Saint - because the other person has the blood of the Son of the Moon. She wants to To create the Son of the Moon who can reach the state of 'perfect man'.

"The restless Mercedes hates the inheritance of the saint so much, but she works so hard to maintain her status as a candidate saint, just to prepare for this ceremony. But Mercedes is only a candidate saint after all. female.

"So James gave them a forbidden ritual. Using his mother's voluntary life to purify the power of devotion.

"Finally, before the pregnancy was completed and during the sacrificial ceremony, his father commissioned Gloria to dig a hole from the outside and put part of his soul into it. Thus, the immortal baby had a suction The opportunity for the true blood of the saint. I can see all of this clearly.

"It's a pity that the person who went home with you is not Pure White... so he had no choice but to escape early. That's why the wound just started to ooze blood... because there was originally a little vampire hidden inside."

"So, where's the vampire?"

Aiwass asked.

The corners of Loki's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't answer.

At that moment, Aiwass's mind suddenly reflected the blood wine that Bram drank.

Inside the wine glass, there was a small red ball like a plum. Like a heart.

If……

...If that were the heart of a giant, wouldn't it be a bit too small?

But why can Bram really transform into a giant?

"What you want to ask is why Bram can become a giant, right?"

The corner of Loki's mouth raised slightly: "Because the blood of giants does flow in that 'embryo of the Holy Son'; because I can also transform into the Son of the Moon, I can steal the Tears of Time, which is extremely poisonous to elves——"

"——Because what's in her belly is my child."

When the sense of crisis reached its peak, Vignes turned into a prototype without thinking!

But at this moment, a scarlet stream of light hidden in a certain mirror was silently slashing towards Aiwass!
