Pastor's Tantra

Although the fall of the first generation of Hong Xiang can be said to have nothing to do with him.

But Christina still felt intense excitement, pride and a strong sense of identity.

——This is my backstage, what a stage after stage! Do you have such a backstage?

After Aleister left, Cristina excitedly discussed with other students how great Aleister was and how powerful she was in defeating the first generation Red Prime.

Her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars, and her words were almost fanatical.

Almost like a believer.

On the other side, hearing that Aleister wanted to eat something, Adolf, who was a little nervous, wanted to take Aleister to Leipzig to eat something good. The old lich concentrated on finishing the experimental ritual.

Although the city lords of Leipzig themselves were frozen in the natural refrigerator on the roof of the Ziggurat, this did not prevent them from visiting Leipzig.

One thing to say, as a tourist city, Leipzig’s level is quite high.

It was obvious that Adolf, as the vice-principal, was not very confident about the level of the ziggurat cafeteria.

Of course, the ziggurat must have a canteen.

After all, the Academy of the Undead does not mean that all students are undead.

Aleister still remembers that during the promotion ceremony... when Aiwass and Bayard slipped out of Arc Moon Manor to eat, they met many ziggurat students who had just finished their evening classes.

It seemed that it should be around nine to eleven o'clock in the evening, and a large number of young necromancers' apprentices wearing dead leaf robes came out hungry to look for food. Obviously the academic pressure is quite high.

At that time, the Ziggurat was still in the city center, and at least the snack street in front of the school still existed.

Today's ziggurat is located in the suburbs and even in the mountains. It took Aleister more than half an hour to fly from the center of Leipzig on his Leviathan. The nearest inhabited place is the small fishing village that serves as a part-time port.

But let’s not talk about the delicious food and fun there. Just a trip from the mountain... If you walk by foot, the round trip will take at least two or three hours.

Through this kind of boring life that is isolated from the world and feels like a monk, students can also cultivate their affinity for the twilight path.

When did the students' mood become calm every day, they no longer feel itchy and unbearable, they no longer want to go out for adventure or have fun, they no longer feel the passage of time, and no longer have that kind of worldly desire, or even If you want to live like this for the rest of your life... With this level of twilight phase, it's almost enough to be promoted to the third level.

But Aleister rejected Adolf's friendly proposal - even though the path of love is a gourmet, with a strong appetite and a picky taste. But she actually just wanted to find an excuse to get close to the students.

The leader came to inspect the school.

But surprisingly, the food in this cafeteria is actually quite good.

There are seven or eight kinds of smoked and grilled sausages, as well as fried pork chops, beef rolls, crispy pork knuckles with sauerkraut, barbecued meats, pancakes and sweet cookies, all of which are provided in the ritual array. constant temperature. There are also vinegar-braised beef, beef meatballs, and red-braised lamb that have been simmering in the pot...

——Meat, meat, meat, meat. At a glance, the entire restaurant is filled with meat except for bread!

This is much better than what the Avalonians eat! !

Aleister was almost moved to tears.

It would be great if I could have another bowl of rice...

For a moment, I even had the idea of ​​asking Aiwass to come over and eat for a few days.

These days she has been living in Prince Szijjarto's manor, and the food there tastes pretty good. But it is actually closer to the iris style, delicate and beautiful. It was similar to what Aiwass had eaten at the Palace of Silver and Tin - there were about twelve or three dishes for dinner, and more than ten of them were iris cuisine.

Even the Star Antimony Restaurant in Avalon, Aleister always felt that it didn't taste that good. The taste is quite bland and the quantity is not large.

"The meat is all fresh..."

Adolf looked at Aleister and quickly explained: "It's really the meat of pigs, cows and sheep..."

He was a little worried that Aleister would regard the meat as the output of the "assistants".

"...It looks pretty good," Aleister praised, "I like it very much.

"But... what about the nutritional balance of the students? And why is there so much meat here, but I think the children are still so thin?"

Aleister chose the dishes and found a table to sit down at. There were also many students who came with her and took some random dishes. The portions were so small that Aleister even suspected that they were losing weight.

Aleister had not seen many fat students along the way.

On the contrary, there are quite a few students who are skinny and are suspected of developing anorexia.

But as soon as she said this, she felt as if she had really become a visiting leader.

But if you think about it carefully, this is not a big problem - because Aleister originally wanted to move the ziggurat to Avalon. When the ziggurat is completed, Aiwass can really be regarded as their direct leader.

"Ah, about this..."

Adolf smiled helplessly, sat opposite Aleister and explained softly.

As a vocational college for necromancers, the Ziggurat is one of the four major forces of Star Antimony, but there are no extraordinary people of the path of love in it.

The extraordinary beings on the twilight path are extremely lazy and have no desires.

Although there is a free canteen here, students are too lazy to eat unless necessary. Just drink some "No. 1" and "No. 2" and you will basically be full of water. The life-extending function of "No. 2" can also prevent the decline of health level caused by not eating for a long time, at least you won't starve to death easily.

——If you are not lazy enough, it usually means that your adaptability to the Dusk Path is not high enough.

"So generally speaking, not many people come here to eat?"

Aleister was a little surprised: "It tastes so good..."

Is it so wasteful?

"It doesn't matter, there is preservation."

Adolf answered briskly on the side: "Whether it is finished food or fresh ingredients, you can use preservation to maintain their state. As for nutritional issues... Just take the mixture regularly."

"Preservation is really useful..."

Aleister sighed.

There are too few excellent preservationists in Avalon. When Aiwas wanted to preserve that painting, it took a week to find someone to do it. Not to mention the "wasteful" use of food preservation.

But in Xingti, the cost of a preservation spell is even cheaper than a pot of stew.

Is this the effect of the popularization of supernatural powers in society...

Adolf is still talking: "Because the oppression of botanists by alchemists has become more and more severe recently... As a result, botanists who rely on the Alchemy Association for survival need to provide more and more alchemical materials every month. This actually squeezes the production of vegetables in disguise, after all, vegetables and magic potion materials are produced from the same field. In big cities, the price of vegetables will also rise due to the increase in alchemical materials.

"In addition, food is an important export profit project and is currently one of the few stable profit-making means of Xingti. Therefore, the production of food is indispensable... These reasons have led to the high price of vegetables in Xingti. Basically, farmers have set aside a piece of land outside their wheat fields and grow their own food.

"After all, the difficulty of using the preservation technique on vegetables is much greater than that on meat - I think this is also an important reason."

"...Why is that?"

Alester, who was eating, raised his head in surprise: "Is the preservation technique more difficult to use on plants?"

She had never heard of this before.

"I know..."

Just then, Aurora came over quietly: "I want to say."

She had just been holding Albert tightly from a distance... Seeing that what Alester was eating was actually human food, she was relieved.

After all, the reputation of the Moon Child in Xingtan is not very good.

Before, there was the pressure of the Red Phase, and no one dared to show it. But it must be different in the future...

When Vice Principal Adolf saw Aurora and Albert coming over, he also understood the purpose of their coming.

It must be related to their mentor, Fernando Brunswick Jr.

Fernando Brunswick Jr. is Adolf's student after all, and Adolf is also very concerned about how to solve his problem.

So he introduced Aleister enthusiastically: "This is Aurora von Goethe... This is Albert Lore. They are all disciples of my disciples, and they are my grand-disciples. These two children are geniuses who have reached the fourth energy level at a young age... Albert is just in his early twenties, and Aurora is less than twenty years old. They are the future of our psychic tower."

-You may not believe it, but I am only eighteen years old.

Aleister thought to himself, looking at the two people.

Aurora's beauty made her a little surprised-like the beauty of a white and gold doll, that kind of lifeless feeling has an abnormal beauty.

That feeling... If I have to describe it, it is "not like a living person". She gives people the feeling of 3D modeling. If she is still, people will think she is an exquisite one-to-one figurine.

Is this the future successor of Master Chongbo?

And the other one... may be a true genius.

Albert Lore-the inventor of the armed gargoyle, the future Star Antimony Black Phase.

He looked a bit like a depressed Harry Potter... or a programmer who worked overtime and stayed up late for a month and didn't sleep well, which formed a sharp contrast with the girl next to him. Although he looked like he was about to die suddenly at any time, it can be seen that his appearance was pretty.

Aleister showed them a friendly smile: "Hello, both of you... Then Miss Goethe, why is this?"

Aurora's pupils trembled violently when Aleister called her name.

But her expression and voice did not change at all, and she said softly: "Because plants are still "alive". And if the preservation technique wants to preserve living things... it will be very difficult."

"Alive..."

Aleister was thoughtful.

Speaking of which... Even if the vegetables are taken out of the ground, they can still continue to reproduce. From a certain point of view, they may not have died completely before they were blanched and stopped.

Whether it is meat, corpses, works of art, or buildings, they have no "life". Therefore, the preservation technique is much simpler to perform.

"The preservation spell that rescued the students earlier...was it used by the principal?"

"I did. The preservation spell used on living things can save them from 'dangerous situations'. I used this method to teleport all the children to me."

Adolf, the contemporary dark figure, replied: "The preservation technique that protected the entire ziggurat and separated it from the real world belongs to the principal."

"If you use the preservation technique on a living person..."

Aurora whispered: "You can also turn the dying person into a stone statue, thereby suspending the 'death process'. It can also save people."

"That's it, the distinguished Miss Aleister..."

Albert had learned Aleister's name from Christina before, so he asked directly: "Our mentor... almost died during the previous promotion ceremony. Aurora and I saved his soul.

"But he is still in a 'dying' state, and I just heard your prayers...included Aiwass.

“Excuse me, is this ‘Pope’ Aiwass?”

"Yes."

Aleister smiled and nodded slightly.

She didn't have the level of prayer at all, so her prayers were in vain. The reason why she said this was to spread the word - others may not understand, but in the ziggurat where the ghoul shepherd is the first promotion profession, students generally have some research on divine arts. of.

As expected, Albert breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I also wanted to become a ghoul shepherd back then, so I studied the art of prayer for a while. Although I did not study the art of prayer deeply, I remember that 'please' should be It is a sentence used for Tiansi. Even the apostles are not qualified to use this kind of prayer call...

"...But you have actually borrowed divine power. Is this because...the power of His Majesty the Pope has transcended the material world?"

"--Yes."

Aleister smiled, nodded and said: "I am not a 'perfect man'. This sacred power is the miracle he gave me. Without Aiwass's seal, I would never be able to mobilize the power of a perfect man now."

This is the truth, but it is also a lie.

This is also one of Aleister's purposes.

When she heard that Aiwass wanted to send the power of the church to help Xing Antimony survive the chaos...she had a vague idea, but now this idea has become clearer.

- She wanted to build faith in Aiwass.

Although Aiwass himself would not think so much, but for Aleister who transcended the incarnation... Aiwass would eventually ascend to the dream world.

It would be okay if he was an apostle. But if you want to become a Tiansi, you must have your own believers in the material world.

Although neither Zhushen nor Tiansi require any "power of faith", after ascending from the apostle to Tiansi, they can no longer descend to the normal world. They must have their own spokespersons in the material world to expand and sublimate their own concepts.

If a Tiansi is forgotten by everyone, even the concept to which he belongs may be forgotten. But if you want to expand your concepts, you can't do it from the dream world. You have to do it in the material world.

That's why the Silver Crowned Dragon wanted to establish his own path of authority in the material world... and only then could he rebel against the path of power in the dream world.

Originally this could be regarded as a "fantasy". But now, this is getting closer and closer to the "future"——

——[Kill the fifth-level transcendent and gain 4500 free experience].

The experience of the first-generation Hong Xiang was four times that of Earl Daun.

They are both at the fifth energy level, but their experience is not at the same level at all...

Aleister herself was only at the fourth energy level, but with the help of external forces based on the way of transcendence, contracts and mortal sins, she surpassed one and a half energy levels and killed the first-generation Hong Xiang, who was also the best among the fifth energy levels.

This is exactly the kind of behavior that is in line with the path to transcendence.

The practice of this behavior made Aleister feel that he had clearly touched the wall of the fifth energy level.

With a maximum investment of two thousand experience points, she will be able to participate in the promotion ceremony at the end of this month!

And her current experience reserve is enough.

If all goes well, she will be a true fifth-level transcendent next month.

At that time, what she has to touch is the affairs of the Dream World, Tiansi and Pillar God... It is not too early to plan for Aiwass after becoming a god. It's even a little late.

"We want to use the power of the great and sacred His Majesty Aiwass to rescue our mentor..."

Albert said: "I am willing to pay any price for this."

"--Me too!"

After hearing that Albert only counted himself in the "price", Aurora quickly followed.

Aleister just smiled and nodded: "Okay."
