Pastor's Tantra

"...Isn't it, boss? Are you serious?"

Aleister was speechless for a moment.

Although she was depressed at the time, she cried happily under Isabel's relief.

In fact, Aleister has not been so vulnerable since then. When she knows someone cares about her, she actually doesn't need the other person to really care about her.

From this perspective, Aleister actually cares more about the present that Isabel promised before.

That moment of empathy and tolerance became a decoction that healed the soul.

She doesn't care now whether this promise comes true...as long as Isabel has this heart, it's enough.

"Isabel is a person who sticks to her word. Her will may be stronger than both of ours, and she is definitely not someone who breaks her word."

Aiwass replied: "Sister Freya said, 'Strong people are not good at raising children.' The higher the energy level of a transcendent, the lower the probability of giving birth to a child. If I reach the fifth energy level, then It's hard to have a blood connection with Isabel.

"Although she may not care about the continuation of the Du Lac bloodline. After all, in another world line, she also gave the inheritance of the throne to the Camelot family. But precisely because of our interference, Isabel did not carry out that cruel self Sacrifice... isn't it? Raising other people's children is not as good as raising your own. Besides, that also means that 'Aleister Du Lac' will never be born again."

"...But you can't delay it. You are clearly talking about big things, so why are you starting to get confused about this kind of thing?"

Aleister had a complicated mood: "If you delay any longer, it will only be delayed for a month at most. But you still can't leave the Theocracy, and Isabel can't go to the Theocracy by any means other than a mask. Although I can use a lamb as a mask." Actor', brought her to Star Antimony to play... But Selene can't get pregnant for her, and you are one of the people who can't be replaced at all - after all, no matter how you delay, before the pure white saint cleanses the amber, You cannot take off the Holy Crown and leave the Theocracy.

"That is to say, when the 'outsiders' of the Theocracy had a choice between the unborn but dead child of your own, you did not hesitate to choose the outsider..."

Having said this, Aiwass and Aleister suddenly reacted at the same time.

I see……

That’s why the level of Aiwass’ path of devotion has increased so quickly!

He was not entirely because of the agreement between Aleister and Isabel, but because Isabel wanted to have a child - in addition, his brother Edward also wished so, and Ligeia and Freya also talked about it.

——As a monarch, how can Isabel have no heirs?

If this goes on for a long time, even the ministers of Avalon and the civilians will feel uneasy about it. Although Isabel also has a younger brother... However, if the "queen's younger brother" and the "queen's adopted son" exist at the same time, there will be fierce conflicts in themselves and the country will fall into an unstable state.

Although Isabel herself may be vaguely aware of this...that's why she said "if there is a child". The implication is that she already thinks that it is very likely that they will not be able to have offspring of their own because they are promoted too quickly...

Aiwass didn't think about this at all when he put on the Holy Crown, but when he suddenly realized... Every day he became pope, he was making a strong "dedication" - because he was still He was too young and had not yet left any descendants, so when he put on the Holy Crown, what he dedicated was not just his own lifespan, but "the children of the future" and "the continuation of life."

Its real cost is not just those years of life.

Instead, let a young man who has reached the pinnacle of power in his teens, who is healthy and strong, and whose future is extremely bright, whose descendants will surely be the new king of Avalon, and who is very likely to become a Tiansi or even a Pillar God, loses his legacy in the material world. The ability to produce descendants - it was this kind of dedication that allowed him to fill up the remaining experience bar of the fourth level in only half a month.

I am afraid that even the previous eternal pope and even the cardinals are not aware of this matter. After all, the elves themselves have a very weak concept of blood, and surnames are mainly inherited through inheritance.

In other words, this itself is a special custom that occurs due to the low fertility rate of elves who are high-level transcendent beings. So none of the elves realized what was wrong here...

"Stop delaying, boss. You are too indecisive, why not listen to me -"

Aleister did not like procrastination, so she made up her mind directly: "If I can be promoted at the end of the month, you will accompany me for promotion; if I can only be promoted next month, you will accompany me for promotion next month. Anyway, we are I don't like children that much. As for Isabel...it doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what I say. That's Isabel's own thing, let her make her own decision.

"Anyway, we will definitely not be able to reach Eagle Point Village before dusk today. I plan to go to the Wild Hunt King Heleqin tomorrow. We can go to Isabel first tonight and see what she says."

"……OK."

Aiwass could never make up his mind, so he chose to follow the good advice: "If you need it, call me at any time. If you encounter anything, the Theocracy can be your backing."

"Just wait, I won't be polite to you."

Aleister said without hesitation: "Star Antimony can already use you - economic collapse, universal unemployment, and the Red Rebellion. A chaos of this scale will most likely trigger a civil war... Be prepared to notify the church Take it over, I plan to do something like you in Star Antimony after solving Lily’s problem.”

"I trust you."

Aiwass did not ask for details, but responded without hesitation: "Be careful of the influence of Star Antimony, and be careful of Fallen Sky Division. Don't forget the mark of great sin on your body. Just in case, I will do it every three months in the future." I will contact you in the morning to confirm your mental state. Remember to ask for leave in advance.”

"Okay, okay, why do you really look like a doctor..."

Aleister cut off their contact with some helplessness.

It's not that she doesn't want to chat with Aiwass anymore... If possible, she even wants to lie leisurely in the White Dove Opera House, sharing the view with Aiwass, and commenting on the stage with Aiwass in her heart. On the performance, just live a day without any worries and happily.

This can also be regarded as a kind of "watching together" or "barrage complaining".

But obviously not - after Aiwass fell into a deep sleep, Aleister began to attract events. All kinds of troubles and trivial matters kept popping up, making it impossible for her to stay quiet for a few days.

"It's really troublesome..."

The ship has begun to slow down and dock. Aleister sighed, came out of his room and walked onto the deck.

She looked at the gryphon knights on duty in the distance with some nostalgia... Although Aiwass left Avalon for less than forty days, it seemed like he had been away for a lifetime.

Aleister really misses the simple Avalon people now.

——Before he went to the Theocracy, Aiwass thought that Avalon was depraved and crazy, with conspiracy and bribery flowing everywhere, just like the gray mist that filled the factory area, and it could not be called a kingdom of knights at all. country, most of the entire Round Table Hall are traitors who have taken dirty money.

When Aiwass went to the Theocracy, he realized what a lunatic was and what a mole was. It turned out that the Avalonians were already very sensible and well-educated...

After Aleister went to Star Antimony, he finally understood the meaning of "degeneration" and "madness"——

——I’m actually a little sorry for Avalon, for actually comparing it with Star Antimony.

Aleister now even feels that Avalon's "closed-door" policy may not be so bad after all. Although it blocked foreign scholars, businessmen, and travelers, it also kept out wicked races like goblins and children of the moon.

——You know, compared to Iris, the Moon Child of Star Antimony can even be considered a conservative! Aleister didn't even dare to think about how his eldest brother and Sherlock were getting along.

It was precisely because of the iris flower that before actually going to Star Antimony, Aiwass once believed that Star Antimony represented advanced production technology and was the most civilized human country.

Even the Sons of the Moon and the Necromancers did not compete for power. In the final analysis, it was just the demonologists competing for the alchemists' food, and the alchemists competing for the botanists' dog food. Chaos on this scale is nothing, maybe even peace. After all, Avalon has also been having trouble with transcendence for a while...

Now it seems that Aleister still greatly underestimated the value of the information the "King" brought.

——Aiwass originally thought that the king was talking too high, exaggerating by at least 50%; but he did not expect that he was talking low, not even 20% of the true chaos of Star Antimony!

Sighing, Aleister led Leviathan towards the shore.

In a sense, this is actually the first time "Miss Aleister" has entered the glass island.

And an arbiter wearing a full silver armor with a silver triangle painted on his chest walked up and asked politely but seriously: "Hello, may I ask..."

He was about to ask what the monster beside Aleister was, why he brought it to Avalon, and who could vouch for her.

But he suddenly saw Aleister's face clearly under the black robe.

To be precise, I saw the face of "Bayard".

The captain of the alchemy-powered ship was watching the excitement from there - as a noble faction, he obviously didn't like the ziggurat very much. It would be a pleasure to see this woman in black robe deflate in front of the knight in Avalon whose head is as solid as a lead ball...

But soon, he realized that the arbiter's attitude seemed not quite right.

The arbiter was obviously stunned for a moment: "You are..."

"Aleister...you may know me."

Aleister said, slowly taking off his hood: "I followed my bet with Her Majesty the Queen and returned with the dragon cub... Can you return Aiwass to me?"

She patted the Leviathan next to her, signaling it to roar.

Leviathan was very smart and made a shocking roar - which made everyone in the port notice Aleister's existence.

"I want to see Her Majesty the Queen. This is what we agreed to do."

Aleister put his right hand on his chest and raised the corner of his mouth slightly in a playful manner, then flattened it again with a serious effort: "Can you please inform me?"

"...I can't decide this..."

He is clearly an arbiter in the Arbitration Hall, and his voice sounds like that of a middle-aged man in his forties, but he looks like he is sweating profusely at the moment - Aleister believes that if he can take off his helmet If so, he would definitely take off his helmet to wipe the sweat constantly.

"...Please come with me."

Finally, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to take Aleister away first.

At least he didn't want to be blocked here and be watched by people...

So he blew the silent griffin flute and called his white-feathered griffin.

And at this moment.

Isabel was having dinner.

As usual, she drank some wine to prepare for the night dream - although she might not see Aleister once in a few days, she has gradually gotten used to drinking and felt a little fun. At least she didn't frown and force herself to drink like she did at the beginning.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt an unexplained boredom and nausea.

She spit a mouthful of wine back onto the plate in front of her, and then Isabel couldn't stop coughing.

What, what happened...

Isabel's first reaction was whether she was poisoned - so she immediately called her queen's guards to check her body and treat her.

They all have the professional level of dedication, so they also have some healing ability.

The oldest guard immediately placed his hands on Isabel's chest and abdomen, and the warm light brought by the illumination instantly dispelled Isabel's nausea and dizziness.

But the guard suddenly showed a confused expression on his face.

She tilted her head and asked uncertainly: "How long ago was the last time you had sex with His Holiness the Pope?"

"Does it count in a dream?"

Isabel asked subconsciously, but soon her face turned red and she realized that she had asked a stupid question, so she answered honestly: "It was February 16th... That was the first time and the last time."

Before she finished her words, she realized the meaning of the question and instantly opened her eyes wide: "Could it be..."

"Thirty-seven days..."

The guard pondered for a moment, then smiled like a flower: "If nothing unexpected happens - congratulations, Your Majesty."
