Pastor's Tantra

Sine's voice suddenly became excited, and even his fingers were trembling slightly!

That was the fragment that the Geometry Celestial Master cast into the material world, containing one-fifth of the Celestial Master's power, symbolizing the absolute control over the element of "water" - the regular icosahedron of water!

But as a devout seeker of the path of wisdom, Sine was not too greedy for the power it brought. It is better to say that "power" itself is a "thing that has been abandoned" that is despised by the extraordinary people of the path of wisdom.

As early as when they were apprentices of mages and had just entered the Mage Tower, they had been taught this core concept -

- magic must not be a symbol of violence.

Mages must not use force to suppress others and claim to be powerful because magic has extraordinary power. Magic must not be studied and strengthened for the purpose of demonstrating destructive power - all magic is essentially a by-product of the pursuit of wisdom, which is a symbol of mystery.

Just like when mages discover a new truth, they tend not to make it public - they only need to discover and keep the secret, and when the secret is discovered by others again, they can get feedback from the power of the Tao. On the contrary, if mages like to show off in front of people, they will not be very strong.

For this reason, mages are usually accustomed to keeping a sense of mystery. Many mages who do not like the scientific research environment of the mage tower will choose to live in seclusion in the depths of the forest or in the downtown area.

Although it is not known when the concept of "magic cannot be used to show violence" came from... but all the mage towers in the Narcissus Principality have exactly the same inheritance. And the mages who violated this concept in the past have all paid the price without exception - even the edge is not allowed.

During the Rift War, because alchemists came up with many new inventions for combat, and necromancers and demonologists were active on the battlefield, these mages who were doing research peacefully were once very panicked.

The first generation of Narcissus Duke at that time was the president of the Palace Alchemy Association and also the vice president of the Mage Association. The title of Duke on Duke Hirsing was a title given by the emperor at the last moment in the late empire. Therefore, he was also the last noble of the empire.

But even so, this extremely powerful mage was not the first person in the Mage Association. Because the president of the Mage Association, "Leonardo", was the most recognized mage in the Herasl Empire.

He originally planned to shift his research direction to the direction of armaments - he tried to study a "ultimate weapon that could destroy all wars".

With the help of Hirsing, he cracked the technology of the rune colossi on the battlefield. Those alchemical products can emit amazing lasers... This has also become the source of the automatic defense device on the Mage Tower today. But this did not satisfy Master Leonardo. He planned to continue researching weapons until he developed a weapon that "can destroy anyone" and end this disgusting war.

But just when his invention was about to be completed, he suddenly went crazy for no apparent reason, became a pathetic madman, and finally disappeared completely.

At first, some people thought he was cursed, and some thought he was poisoned by the assassin's poison. Others said that the alchemists were jealous of his wisdom, so they kidnapped him to torture him and get the location of his other manuscripts... This most absurd statement, which was obviously a rumor at first glance, even became the mainstream concept in the Mage Tower, which respected "wisdom", and even induced the century-long hostility of mages against alchemists.

The manuscript left by the Lord of the Tower Leonardo became a treasure, but it still followed the secret code of the mages and was not published.

It was not until later that a few great mages knew that he had become the secret apostle of Wei Zhe. But he still personally warned these few great wizards to stop researching "related to power and violence".

Because of this, the wizards are always very secretive about "extra power". This is also the reason why the wizards surrendered very smoothly when the Star Antimony people broke in - since we can't actively pursue power, why bother fighting? Anyway, we can't beat them.

As the chief, Sine can be said to be the reserve of the tower master. He naturally knows the existence of this taboo.

However, this "Water Icosahedron" has another special meaning besides the unparalleled power!

——It is well known that the fragments of the Geometry God will only appear around the smartest scholars and inventors.

In other words, whoever... whoever gets the fragments of the Geometry God and the fragments do not escape is the smartest scholar and inventor in this world!

The tower masters of the Narcissus Principality are basically at the fourth energy level, and only a very few are at the fifth energy level. But even those fifth-level wizards must show special respect to the Sandro Tower Master.

The reason is very simple - it is because Lord Sandro has a "Fire Tetrahedron" in his hand!

He is recognized by the Geometry Heavenly Master!

Even Sine's teacher, the most powerful wizard in the Narcissus Principality - the old wizard who has survived since the founding of the country, one of the few fifth-level wizard lords, Lord Yolande... all feel extremely jealous that Lord Sandro can be recognized by the Geometry Heavenly Master.

He cursed the other party in private more than once, thinking that Sandro was just lucky. If it were placed elsewhere, Sine had no doubt that he would snatch this treasure. However, this is the Narcissus Principality, and the mages are all decent people and act with great self-respect.

Anyone who does such a disgraceful thing of bullying a small one will probably be ridiculed by everyone for being "in a hurry" - although they must be jealous in their hearts, anyone who steps forward at this time will be attacked by the group again. .

But now, a wild water icosahedron is right in front of us!

But he would never dare to snatch it - he had already guessed Aiwass's identity the moment the "Pope" accidentally said the name "Cardinal Galatea" in his heart.

Although he looks different, has antlers on his head, and appears at the wrong time... there is no doubt that the blond young man in front of him is the eternal pope of this generation.

He was not exaggerating in the slightest, the codename "Pope" was his true identity!

If he offends the Pope or the Cardinal, he may be in danger of being destroyed.

But even so, Sine still couldn't contain the expanding greed in his heart——

"Mr. Pope...Mr. Pope!"

Sine said almost eagerly and madly: "Can you give me this thing? I am willing to pay any price for it - any! All my property, my loyalty, my soul... No, you can give it to me. Shall I touch it first? Just touch it..."

He had to consider whether this would be his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Aiwass looked at the old mage and was very surprised.

These mages are often pure-hearted, reclusive and independent. He rarely saw such a crazy mage...

He couldn't help but ask: "Do you really want this thing? Aren't you mages unable to pursue power?"

"No, it's not for power...how dare it be 'power'..."

Sine waved his hands repeatedly, trying to defend himself as if he was being electrocuted: "I can't do anything. Even if I get it, I won't use its power..."

"Could it be that you...want to study Tiansi?" Aiwass asked.

The Water Shards themselves are not of much use to Aiwass - what he needs most is the Fire Shards, and they are not in a hurry.

He hasn't even subdued the water attribute beast of sin yet, and the ritual of the Ring of Ending has not yet been implemented. The current upper limit of the world is the sixth energy level, and it is still too early to make a breakthrough.

Aiwass originally planned to give this treasure to Sherlock.

After all, it is said that this thing will only appear in the hands of smart people, and Aiwass feels that Sherlock is a smart man, and this thing suits him very well. It just so happens that Sherlock doesn't have a staff yet... The fire fragment can be used to evolve the little butterfly, so the water fragment is just right for him. Although Sherlock may not necessarily want to.

It is for this reason that Aiwass did not touch it the whole time. Didn't even check its properties.

This is why Aiwass is worried that he is not that "smart" - or that he is not crazy enough in the way of wisdom, so that he will let this thing teleport away directly.

——Although Aiwass doesn’t value this thing too much, he is also very cautious and doesn’t want it to fall into the hands of other people with ulterior motives. Just like the child of the moon.

If the combat effectiveness of this thing can be flexibly used, it can basically allow the fifth-level transcendent to exert the power of the sixth level. For single-attribute spellcasters who are compatible, it is almost close to the bonus of the Holy Crown for priests - the Holy Crown allows Aiwass to communicate with the Pillar God anytime and anywhere, which is equivalent to getting all the Pillar Gods and Tiansi 's private number.

Although Sine seems to be a bit crazy, for a mage, he is already very humble. If he could give Aiwass a good enough reason, Aiwass wouldn't mind giving this thing to him - it was just to find a better meeting gift for Sherlock.

After all, after not seeing each other for several months, he became the Pope when we met again. At times like this, you have to give your brothers something good to show that you are really awesome!

But what disappointed Aiwass was that Sine gradually shrank in the face of Aiwass's inquiry.

"No, it's not...how dare you? I'm not a transcendent..."

The old mage smiled bitterly, but felt extremely regretful in his heart.

Why can't it be me! Why couldn't he be teleported away by himself?

If he were to explore the path by himself, if he was teleported away... wouldn't he be the one who can get this treasure? !

"You're not doing it for fighting or research. So what do you want it for?"

Aiwass asked in confusion.

"With this," Sine murmured, "won't people know that I am a genius?

"—Without it, how can people understand my wisdom!?"

As he spoke, his tone became more and more crazy.

Electric light crackled in the depths of his pupils, gradually revealing a hint of deep blue that was almost purple.

Avas suddenly became serious.

...Sine's mental state is not quite right.

But at this moment, Sine suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed and gasped for air. After all, he still didn't dare to do anything to Aiwass, so his eyes became clear again just before he was about to go crazy. Come down.

Aiwass also guessed what his fearful eyes meant.

So he chuckled: "It's not that I won't give it to you...

"I can give you a chance. [Icosahedron of Water] is useless to me. I want [Tetrahedron of Fire] in the hands of 'Old Sandro'. If you bring that thing to me, I can give it to you. Anyway, one person cannot get two fragments at the same time, you know? If you get the Tetrahedron of Fire, it is not suitable to show it in front of others... But if you get it, you can use it to show off, how great is that?"

...You, is this what the Pope should say?

Sine was shocked.

How can this Pope be so deceptive? !

The most important thing is that what he said is really tempting...

Sine struggled to maintain rationality, but stared at the [Icosahedron of Water], and a hint of deep purple appeared in his pupils again: "But... Lord Sandro is a very famous person... If I attack him... and I may not be able to..."

Cardinal Galatea's voice sounded softly in Aiwas's heart, it was a whisper that only Aiwas could hear through illusion: "His abnormality comes from the tower itself."

"I know."

Aiwas also said the same thing, and only Cardinal Galatea could hear this sentence.

And he looked at Sine with a smile, and put the last straw on his shaky rationality: "Old Sandro is dead. I witnessed his death with my own eyes during the promotion ceremony.

"In other words, [Icosahedron of Fire] does not have a legitimate successor. So, do you understand?"

"-I do it, I do it! "

Sine responded without hesitation, his eyes becoming fanatical.

At that moment, Aiwass realized clearly that a strong transcendent force was pouring into Sine's body.

It came from the top of the tower.
