Pastor's Tantra

Aleister is not a procrastinator. From this point of view, she is much sharper than "Aiwass".

Once she determines her purpose, she will act swiftly and resolutely without thinking -

She flew directly back to Leipzig with Leviathan, changed back to Bayard, put on the black robe only used by the professor of the ziggurat, and boarded the ship.

Although she brought the hideous and terrifying monster on board, it didn't seem strange for the Necromancer to have monster servants with her.

Even if it's a monster even more terrifying than this, it's reasonable. The only question is probably whether Avalon's customs will allow it to enter the country... But that has nothing to do with the captain anyway. So the captain happily accepted the money without any reminder at all.

The voyage from Star Antimony to Avalon is only half the distance from the Theocracy to Star Antimony. There is also a direct port from Leipzig to the Glass Island. If you spend more money to take a new, faster alchemical engine ship, Aleister can reach the Glass Island in less than three hours - before dark.

These private speedboats were built by nobles who maintained alchemist studios. Not only is it extremely fast, but the cannons built into the ship are also more advanced. It can usually be used to transport urgent passengers at a high price, and it is also convenient to smuggle some supplies you need back to your capital.

In wartime, it can also be transformed into a warship, used to transport private soldiers...or in the event of unfavorable war conditions, it can allow one to escape safely overseas without being controlled or kidnapped on other people's ships.

Of course, the first-class cabin of this kind of fast ship is not as luxurious as the one Aleister took before, and the space is much smaller. But at least it's clean.

Aleister closed his eyes and lay on the not-so-soft, but at least dry bed. He gently reached out and touched the sharp and hard scales on Leviathan's body, feeling the wash of the waves... She felt her mind gradually change. Gaining tranquility, those noisy and chaotic emotions were gradually soothed by the comfortable travel.

At this moment, an idea suddenly occurred to her: she wanted to chat with Aiwass.

They were one and the same, and had long ago agreed to keep in touch with each other. However, things at Xing Antimony were busy, but it was not a major matter that required contacting Aiwass... This made Aleister always feel that he was very busy, and it seemed that there was no need to notify Aiwass.

But now that she is gradually leaving the territory of Xing Antimony, she feels inexplicably a little leisurely - even if she doesn't do anything, just chatting with Aiwass would be good.

So Aleister contacted Aiwass with great interest, intending to have a good chat with Aiwass about his experiences these days.

But as soon as they regained contact, Aiwass showed warm care and concern. It's as lazy as the sunshine on a cold winter day.

"...How are you doing over there, Aleister?"

Aiwass asked very worriedly: "I have been disconnected from you for a long time."

"When you put it like that, it seems like..."

Aleister then realized that this was indeed the case. She didn't know when she started, but she suddenly began to instinctively resist contacting Aiwass... It was as if she had all kinds of distracting thoughts in her heart.

But she immediately responded unconvinced: "But you can also come to me? Our communication is not one-way."

"Because I don't know if you are busy over there. If you are fighting or performing a ceremony, I will cause trouble for you, right?"

"...You sound like a licking dog who dares not send a message, my dear."

"Then did I lick it?"

"nature."

Aleister replied without hesitation: "But it doesn't have to be that way - I'm a total loser."

"We're there for each other, Alai."

Aiwass responded gently.

That warm and bright light gradually spread along the connection in their hearts, nourishing Aleister's withered soul.

"……Huh?"

At this moment, Aiwass suddenly made an unexpected voice: "Did you feel it, Aleister? There is something deep in your soul... It is something that should not exist."

"What?"

Aleister suddenly became alert.

Although she helped people complete the resurrection ceremony... But in fact, neither the Sin Scholar nor the Son of the Moon had any profound research on the soul. At least it is definitely not as good as Aiwass, who is in the state of his soul at this moment and has mastered advanced divine arts.

"It seems to be the brand of mortal sin. Let me see..."

Aiwass's voice became serious.

He took the initiative to dive deeper. In Aleister's perception, the sun became hotter and brighter... just like the winter sun gradually turned into the summer sun, which can make people stop. I couldn't stop sweating.

And soon, Aiwass completed the examination, and his tone immediately became serious: "It is indeed a mark of major sins - arrogance, jealousy, lust, rage, greed, sloth. Except for gluttony, you have almost all I’ve hit them all. Except for the arrogance brand, which is a side effect of changing to a major sin scholar, I haven’t seen any other brands... What happened to you in the past two days? "

--What the hell? Was he branded all over for no reason?

Hearing Aiwass's words, even Aleister himself was startled.

Although the Mark of Sin is indeed the ability to transcend the path, and it also represents the attention and importance of the Fallen Sky Division... But she doesn't want to be targeted by the Fallen Sky Division just like that!

Aleister quickly reported everything he had encountered in the past few days to Aiwass in detail. Along with all kinds of evil thoughts that flashed through her mind, she also told Aiwass.

Aiwass, who has a dedicated path, can undoubtedly be regarded as a doctor on both the spiritual and psychological levels. Although Aleister is a brand new individual, she still has the memory of Aiwass... She can still understand, at least when facing the doctor, don't hide the details and let the doctor play guessing games.

It would be stupid to turn a visit to a doctor into playing turtle soup with the doctor.

——Although there were also evil thoughts about Aiwass, which made Aleister very ashamed.

After all, the emotion of "shame" itself belongs to the path of transcendence. The so-called "know shame and then be brave", strong shame can stimulate a person to change, let alone whether this change is good or bad, but it can at least lead to easier change.

But fortunately, Aiwass didn't react at all to Aleister's crazy and taboo desire.

He felt neither longing nor ridicule, neither alienation nor disgust.

Just like a truly well-informed doctor, he calmly reminded Aleister: "There is something not right about Star Antimony's territory. You have to be more careful."

"...Well, I feel it. Ever since I left the ship and walked onto land, I have obviously felt restless..."

Aleister fell into deep thought: "Is that some kind of curse or ritual formation? For example, a land formation formation that covers the entire country..."

"It shouldn't be aimed at you. I tend to think that the power of the Path of Love has been activated... After all, Xing Antimony believes in the Banquet Master on a large scale. This undoubtedly forms a potential ritual circle that may assimilate other Sons of the Moon. As a follower of the Banquet Master, perhaps the mark of sin that appears on your body may be what you thought before - it is a check and balance on the road of impulse like 'Ningpa'."

Aiwass reminded: "After all, the impulse of the 'Path of Love' in you is at the sixth level. It can overwhelm this kind of power... If you say it was not the Fallen Sky Division, I don't believe it. ”

"What?"

Aleister was startled.

Why is it the sixth level? Am I not a son of the moon at the fourth level?

Sensing Aleister's doubts, Aiwass also opened up his side of himself to Aleister, sharing his information and thoughts without reservation.

"The Tenth Source River..."

After a brief digestion, Aleister thought about the secret Fenrir said, and she frowned unconsciously.

Even though she is lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her little face seems to have become serious: "So it really exists."

They don't know the real name of that source river or that road.

Aiwass called it nothingness because he almost fell into a state of emptiness and nothingness, so he temporarily gave it this name.

"You have to be careful, Aiwass."

Aleister made a somewhat worried voice: "I will work hard to defeat the Moon Child's instinct. You should also be careful not to become nihilistic."

Compared to the increasingly intense drama on her side, Aiwass's side was getting quieter and quieter - if Aleister's side was noisy and had a headache, then Aiwass' side was almost asleep . But he couldn't really fall asleep, otherwise he might immediately become unbalanced.

The transcendent power on Aleister's side has been activated to a considerable extent in order to suppress the Moon Child's instincts.

She even felt that she had completely mastered the power of the fourth energy level and was moving unswervingly towards the fifth energy level.

If she continues to grow stronger at this rate, she will be able to hold a promotion ceremony by the middle of next month at the latest!

"——My progress here is much faster than yours."

Aiwass's expression was calm, and his voice was gentle and somewhat divine: "I am now truly at the fifth level."

"...The Holy Crown?"

Aleister immediately reacted - this was obviously the "level +1" effect of the "Holy Crown".

At level 49, the Holy Crown can directly forcibly promote people to level 50, which is the threshold of the sixth level... In the same way, at level 39, one can also step into the fifth level through the Holy Crown. In other words, Aiwass can already participate in the promotion ceremony.

——How long has it been?

This is a four-to-five experience slot. How many people have been stuck here their entire lives!

"Want to come together!"

Suddenly, Aleister became excited: "There is only one week left until the New Moon Ceremony, and I feel that if we work hard, there seems to be a chance! Then we two brothers will directly enter the book -"

"No. Don't be too anxious. Remember to lay a good foundation. Prioritize solving the problem on your side... The chaos in Star Antimony is still intensifying. According to the worst possibility... the Coupling Ring Ceremony on May 5th may not be possible. Will go further in advance. At least be mentally prepared and ready to escape at any time.”

Aiwass just calmly rejected Aleister: "Even if it doesn't count this, you have to solve Lily's problem first. Since the principal is willing to help... I plan to send Lily to find you and let her go with her first. Lamb Convergence.”

"...No. Your attitude is wrong."

Aleister was suddenly suspicious.

After becoming like this, she seemed to have some "woman's intuition": "This is not the whole reason. You don't want to be promoted so quickly...why?"

--If Aiwass only intended to let Aleister advance slowly, it would not prevent him from completing the promotion ceremony at the end of this month. In that case, he could at least enter the fifth energy level first, and then slowly accumulate experience.

The Holy Crown is like an automatic experience generator. Even if Aiwass's dedication path does not fight against the tenth path, he will become stronger quickly. And now these experiences are overflowing... This makes Aleister feel so distressed.

But Aiwass seemed to have never thought of the saying "two people advance separately"-Aleister wanted to advance together just because she wanted to see Aiwass again. But Aleister knew very well that Aiwass had no such desire for him... He now felt that he had entered the realm of color is emptiness and emptiness is color, and he was about to become a Buddha.

Then what was he saying according to Aleister's words?

But Aiwass was obviously not very good at lying. Aleister just asked a little, and Aiwas said directly: "Because of your agreement with Isabel."

"...Agreement?"

Aleister was stunned.

She recalled for a long time before she thought of the sentence that might be related to the "promise":

- If I have a child with Aiwass, I will name the first child Aleister regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.
