Pastor's Tantra

"...Arthur?"

Aiwass hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

It wasn't that he didn't recognize the figure of the other party, but the name "Crown Master" stuck in Aiwass's throat for a long time before he finally had to hold it back.

"Have you thought about it?"

While concentrating on feeding the Pegasus, Arthur said casually: "The answer to that question."

——I can offer all this for my great cause, but what are you willing to give up?

This was the question Arthur asked Aiwass before they parted ways.

"……too fast."

Aiwass shook his head: "I haven't had time to think about it yet."

Although he went back in time and came back again, the total time spent was less than ten minutes. Most of the time, the battle was still between Origen, a warrior holding a thunder-killing halberd, and Utgaloch, the cursed wildfire giant.

The rhythm was too tight and gave Aiwass no time to think.

To Aiwass, these times are no different than skipping them.

Arthur looked back in surprise: "Too fast?"

"It only takes less than ten minutes." Aiwass complained.

"Is this so..."

Arthur murmured.

He stopped acting altogether - he no longer fed the horse, but clapped his hands and then stroked the Pegasus' head.

He narrowed his eyes and commented sharply: "Then this is undoubtedly the problem of the Dream Weaver. The battle that lasts until the ammunition and food are exhausted has no real meaning except to train the will.

"This is like posing a difficult problem to a gunner. The question is to let him fight a strong enemy with his bare hands - whether he can defeat the enemy in the end or not, and whether the question is difficult or not, this is in line with his qualities as a gunner. What's the relationship?

"If you want to test a warrior's martial arts, you must always give him a weapon and let him face an enemy that is neither strong nor weak. It is meaningless whether it is too strong or too weak - neither the enemy who is too strong nor the enemy who is too weak can Show strength.

"That guy should have prepared enough rest time for you. Between the two wars, he should have at least let you rest for one night to recover first. The transition time between scenes is arranged so tightly. This is a typical way of thinking.

"In that guy's view, 'survival is meaning'. Therefore, he is more inclined to test the survival ability of the promoted people - but let me tell you, the vast majority of extraordinary people in this world do not live in difficulties that are difficult to survive at all. In the environment, many people are unlikely to encounter a fatal crisis in their lifetime.

"In the final analysis, how much does survivability have to do with personal quality? In other words, is a transcendent who is good at adapting to changes, able to complete difficult tasks, and has strong survivability an outstanding transcendent on this path? A lack of A devotee with adaptability in the face of fatal crises, a transcendent who is not good at completing unexpected and tricky tasks, isn't he an excellent devotee and transcendent who puts pressure on those who are promoted based on his own path tendency? , this kind of behavior is of the same nature as that of Weizhe and is unfair.

"Your personal abilities haven't cooled down yet, right? In this case, if an encounter occurs, you can only stand by and watch, or summon your demon and watch from the side. What else can you do? What he is testing is not your true strength at all, but rather his demonic ability.

"——Hmph. To say how dazzling a person who can't participate in the battle can show in the battle is laughable."

The taciturn Arthur suddenly spoke out a long list of sharp comments about the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

His words were full of disdain for the level of the screenwriter of Linyu.

...But Aiwass felt inexplicably that the relationship between the two pillar gods did not seem to be as bad as Arthur showed. Those words can't be called disgust, they can only be regarded as "looking at each other and disgusting each other".

In front of Aiwass, Arthur kept talking bad things that the Lord of Scales and Feathers could definitely hear clearly... Aiwass's experience and intuition told him that at this time, he had better not agree or sing the opposite. .

——Although in terms of content, Aiwass believes that there is nothing wrong with what Arthur said, and it can even be said to be very fair and reasonable.

It's like giving homework and difficult questions to children in kindergarten or elementary school, and then it's not the children but the parents who are tested... The scale-feather lord's ceremony has this feeling. Aiwass felt that he simply could not participate in a battle of that level.

But this is the assessment ceremony of the Lord of Scale Feather after all.

So Aiwass just smiled and said nothing.

But at this moment, Aiwass suddenly felt a lightness on his body - as if some weight had been lifted.

He subconsciously raised his left hand and summoned the [Equipment Card: Thunder Killer Halberd] that he had just used once.

It is suspended in the palm of Aiwass's left hand, existing in a physical form rather than an incorporeal form. This shows that the number of uses of Aiwass's magic card has been reset.

If he uses this magic card again, he will be summoning the halberd again instead of using his repeat effect.

——In other words, all of Aiwass's magic cards have been reset. It was as if time had passed zero... Not only was the number of Magic Cards replenished, but even the mana pool was restored to its original state.

But Aiwass could see clearly...the setting sun in the distance had not yet set, and it was obviously dusk.

In other words, someone suddenly cleared the built-in CD for Aiwass.

No need to say more about who that is.

It must be the Lord of Scales and Feathers who is looking at Aiwass.

"……snort."

Arthur also obviously noticed this.

He nodded with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it."

"Have you... known each other a long time ago?"

Aiwass couldn't help but ask.

Although you may ask the Lord of Scale Feather directly, the boss will probably answer. But Aiwass wanted to see Arthur, a taciturn and cold-tempered guy, talk incessantly.

It's such a great honor to be able to talk to the silver-crowned dragon who doesn't like to talk!

"We fought together."

Arthur replied: "Fight for the greatest justice in the world."

He raised his head and looked at the dusk sky: "In the not too distant future."

"You mean..."

Aiwass vaguely guessed what Arthur wanted to say.

He also guessed why the Lord of Scale Feather's assessment would be this single-player copy. And why did Arthur come to him in person?

But he didn't dare pronounce the name here.

In the era before the fall of the Supreme Heaven, calling His honorable name directly might attract attention.

And Arthur did not hesitate to name the defeated general: "Yes, it was the battle against the Supreme Heaven."

"...Did the Lord of Scale Feather also participate?"

"More than that. In this era... excluding Amber, the Supreme Sky is one of the strongest. It is not wrong for him to call himself the 'Supreme God'. Even the Snake Father cannot surpass him; he became a god in the same era. The beast master is also the defeated general of the Supreme Heaven; even as the pioneer of the Nine Source Rivers, Si Zhu’s glory can only be equal to that of the Supreme Heaven.”

Arthur did not shy away from admitting the fact that he was not as good as the Supreme Heaven: "Now, even at my strongest moment... I am still not as good as His weakest moment."

"Then what are you..."

"The weak have their own weak way of fighting."

Arthur took a deep look at Aiwass and said pointedly: "Isn't this also the fighting method of a weak person? You should be able to understand."

"That is to say..."

Aiwass suddenly realized.

...Are you trying to sway someone?
