Pastor's Tantra

"...Lord of Scale Feathers?"

Junbai was obviously very surprised by this answer.

The name had not occurred to her at all.

In her opinion, it is normal for Aiwass to choose the Silver Crowned Dragon, after all, he is the future Prince of Avalon; it is normal for him to choose Sizhu, after all, he is a dedicated Taoist god whose speed in mastering divine magic is miraculous. It was normal to choose; it was even normal to choose the twin mirror. After all, as a saint, she could also see the blessing given by the twin mirror imprinted on Aiwass.

But only the Lord of Scales and Feathers - she had no idea where his connection with Aiwass would be.

But now that Aiwass has made up his mind, she will not try to modify his opinion on her own initiative.

Although the biggest threshold for advanced divine arts is to master this skill, drilling a hole in the soul and leaving space for one's own will to hide is also a craft job.

The former is like getting a piece of high-quality jade, while the latter is like unraveling the jade and carving it into different ornaments. The former is yes or no, while the latter depends on personal level - and for jade of different materials and sizes, even the top masters will have upper limits.

Take Chunbai herself as an example... If she had signed a contract with any other Tiansi or apostle along the way, then with her qualifications it would be impossible to complete the achievement of connecting with the Nine Pillar Gods. There are also some cardinals who exhaust their potential after completing two or three or four contracts, so every choice is important and not just a different order.

This is something only you can decide - only you can take responsibility for.

So Chunbai just mentioned the risks of advanced magic to Aiwass again. After Aiwass confirmed again, he began to teach Aiwass the ceremony of signing a contract with the Lord of Scale Feathers.

After explaining the general process, Chunbai simply took Aiwass to the ninth floor.

She led Aiwass to find another cardinal from a room deep in the ninth circle——

When they found him, he was sitting cross-legged inside a complex ritual formation.

Aiwass had never seen such a complex ritual array before - the shining ritual array was like a starry sky, spreading over the entire room of more than 20 square meters. The floor, walls, ceiling... In addition to the parts that look like paintings, there are also metal and jade embedded in the walls.

The ritual array hummed and vibrated, and the power of the nine-color path visible to the naked eye turned into iridescent fragments of light, filling the space.

When Aiwass saw the other party, he was startled.

Because the other party simply doesn’t look like a living person——

That was an old elf.

From that old and withered face, one can still clearly see how handsome he was when he was young. The amber pupils were piercing, as if there was a flame burning at the bottom of them.

He has two long hairs hanging down from his temples, and a long goatee on his chin. He sat cross-legged in the center of the ritual array, with his hands interlaced in front of him and hanging naturally, as if he was meditating.

If he hadn't been wearing a mercury cardinal's robe, Aiwass would have even felt that his temperament was very much like that of an old Taoist priest.

But it is the opposite of this bright and vibrant feeling.

The old elf stretched out two intertwined hands. One was completely withered, blackened, and very obviously woody; while the other turned into a beautiful gem that graduated from deep red to amber.

——Shuhua and Ningpa.

The two terminal diseases of elves actually appeared in one person at the same time.

"This is Cardinal Cyril."

Pure White introduced Aiwass: "The Cardinal in charge of the Ninth Circle.

"In fact, generally speaking... if you wait for the other bishops to arrive before learning advanced divine arts, you will come to the Ninth Circle to receive the teachings of Cardinal Cyril."

"I know."

Aiwass nodded: "Cardinal Matilda told me. Although our accommodation is in the fifth circle, the place of study is in the ninth circle."

"It's good that you know, Aiwass."

Chunbai nodded happily: "Cardinal Cyril is one of the very few elves who masters ritual techniques. It would be safer for him to preside over your first ceremony."

Hearing the name "Aiwass", the old man who had been silent suddenly said: "Long time no see. Or should I say, first meeting?"

Aiwass was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

These words inexplicably reminded Aiwass of the Lord of Scale Feathers.

The other party said this when he saw himself in his dream. Almost word for word.

... Could it be that he is the incarnation of the Lord of Scales and Feathers?

Seeing Aiwass stunned. The corners of the old man's mouth raised slightly, showing a pleasant smile.

He laughed heartily and said: "Or should I say, I have admired your name for a long time...Mr. [Fox].

"——I am Living Silver. We have met before... I knew at that time that you were a genius and would definitely come to the Theocracy. But I also didn't expect that you would master advanced divine arts so quickly. You come The Theocracy can only take two or three months at most.”

"...Mr. Living Silver!"

When Aiwass heard the name, he immediately thought about it and felt relieved.

He saluted politely: "Long time no see, Mr. Living Silver."

This was the person he met from Junbai when he first saw her in his dream.

The jacaranda should be Cardinal Matilda, and the living silver is Cardinal Cyril. That is, that Topa has not yet seen in reality.

However...even the following sentence is exactly the same as what the Lord of Scale Feather said when he greeted him.

...is it a prophecy?

Aiwass thought of what he saw and heard after the promotion ceremony.

Although now, the memory of the dream has become much blurred. He couldn't even remember the appearance of the Lord of Scales and Feathers...but those words and the touch of the handshake still remained very clearly in Aiwass's mind.

He would choose the Lord of Scales and Feathers, not just because the other party is "the god of light-speed payment and the god of generosity".

One of the big reasons is that Aiwass felt a kind of respect and attention from the other party.

This is also the reason why Aiwass subconsciously calls the Lord of Scales and Feathers "the boss"... He has the same sense of déjà vu as when he meets his boss as a migrant worker.

Although strictly speaking, this relationship is still not equal from a social perspective... but from a higher perspective, it is at least like two human beings chatting.

Whether it is Si Zhu, Silver Crown Dragon, or Twin Mirror, they all have a friendly attitude towards Aiwass. But that feeling is all superior, and it is undoubtedly the difference in personality between humans and gods - it is compassion, curiosity, and pity. Of course, because the other party is indeed an immortal god, Aiwass never felt anything was wrong.

However, the Lord of Scale Feather is an alien.

Perhaps because of "adaptation", He is particularly good at talking to people and talking to ghosts... But He is at least willing to adapt to "human beings" for Aiwass!

When talking to the Lord of Scale Feathers, Aiwass felt like he was chatting with someone else... Just like when he met Tian Luosha and Zhu Tiansi, the conversation was much more relaxed. There was nothing Riddler-like about him, and the conversation was clear and efficient.

And that last sentence.

"——I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."

cooperate.

Aiwass liked the word.

In his previous life, he resigned because he didn't like the condescending attitude of his previous boss. That guy seemed to use Aiwass as a tool to get rid of unnecessary people; and when talents were needed, Aiwass was asked to find a way. In the end, he was the one who boasted, and he was the one who took the blame... In the end, he was a double-dealer.

More like a dog than a tool. Usually he throws some bones to tame them, and when it’s time to bite, he lets them out to bite, and when he’s in a good mood, he takes them out for a walk... Although the treatment is generous, and it can be seen that Aiwass can reach the top before he is thirty-five years old. , but he still gave up that job.

He would later apply to be a screenwriter at Faceless God Studio because he had a good chat with the well-known game producer, the boss of Faceless God Studio. After being introduced by his roommate, the boss read his resume and personally added his contact information, and chatted with Aiwass all afternoon.

Although in the end, based on salary and work experience issues, he still persuaded Aiwass to come to his side as HR.

But the feeling was completely different from the previous boss - even if it was just a performance, Aiwass did feel sincerity and respect. Even if he will not enter the screenwriting department at all in the end, when he proposed the plot and mechanism of the game to his boss, the other party also gave very serious feedback, and the conversation lasted for eight hours... and he was extremely serious and enthusiastic, and at the same time very Have a sense of proportion.

It was a very strong, optimistic and cheerful contagion. It seems that just chatting with the other person can dispel the depression in the heart; it seems that you can become friends with anyone, and you can become the strong cohesion and absolute leadership center of the environment.

At that time, Aiwass even had the illusion that "my boss and I might be friends" - of course, he also knew that this was an illusion. After all, he has never even seen the other party's face.

This may be personality charm, or leadership.

The boss was like the Lord of Scales and Feathers, giving Aiwass enough respect.

...It was precisely because of the happy conversation that Aiwass was hit by a dump truck and came to this world because he lowered his head to read the news while crossing the road.

——Even if it is just the kind of acting that "adapts to the path", if at least the other party is willing to perform seriously in person, Aiwass is willing to choose the other party.

Perhaps the Lord of Scales and Feathers understood the true nature of Aiwass, so he said these inconsistent words at that time.

The first three sentences are the words he used to greet Huo Yin when he met him.

"——When applying for a job, if both parties reach an agreement...what should I say? Congratulations?"

"——Congratulations. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

The next two sentences are about the fact that Aiwass will eventually learn "advanced magic" and will be the first to choose him.

Because only high-level magical rituals can be called "applications."

And the attitude of the Lord of Scale Feathers is also very clear - He has already agreed in advance.

When He said "Happy cooperation in the future", he meant that Aiwass used advanced divine magic to reach a contract with Him.

——All these things happened within the foreknowledge of the Lord of Scale Feathers.

He generously placed his foreknowledge in front of Aiwass.

In a way that would not frustrate Aiwass's pride or make him feel in danger, he laughed and showed off his power.

From the past, answer questions from the future.
