Pastor's Tantra

As soon as Aiwass returned to the Palace of Silver and Tin, he became tired of Isabel.

It was April 25th, two full months after Isabel became pregnant.

Although normally, for safety reasons, you cannot have sex at this time...but Isabel is too clingy.

It was the first time they had sex, and as soon as they tasted the taste of meat, Aiwass left Avalon; and until he learned that he was pregnant, Aiwass was still hanging on the top of the giant tree in the Theocracy and fell into a deep sleep.

During this time, Isabel gradually grew into a qualified queen. But this does not mean that she has truly become a heartless and tearless "Iron-Blooded Queen", but that she suppresses her delicate and changeable emotions deep in her heart.

Missing, love, grievance, loneliness... When she first drank late at night, she did it so that she could meet Aiwass in her dream. But then it became a habit - because even in dreams, I couldn't meet Aiwass stably.

Drinking alcohol during pregnancy, especially early in pregnancy, is very risky. In order to eliminate the adverse effects on the fetus, Isabel needed to take additional very bitter potions to maintain her health. But even so, she still couldn't help but drink.

Because if she didn't drink, Aiwass or Aleister might not be able to find her one day when they wanted to find her; and later, drinking truly became her way of relieving loneliness.

Now Isabel had not touched a drop of wine, but her cheeks that were as red as her neck seemed to be drunk.

——Fortunately, Aiwass himself is a fifth-level healer. He has many ways to eliminate the subsequent adverse effects and help Isabel truly relieve her physical discomfort.

Neither bishop-level illumination, nor rituals, potions, or alchemical mixtures could truly cure Isabel. But for Aiwass today, this is just a piece of cake.

That's why.

When Ligeia wagged her tail and entered the bedroom, she was so calm when she saw Aiwass and Isabel under the quilt.

"It seems you had a good time."

She even had the leisure to joke and said: "The faces of the little girls standing guard outside are all red!"

"She's a little girl," Aiwass said calmly, "any one of them would be older than you."

"Hey, you can't say that. Even if you raise a dog until it is two or three years old, it will still understand human speech better than a four or five-year-old pup. The characteristic of short-lived breeds is precocious wisdom."

Ligeia said with a smile: "And I am the old dog - tucking Your Majesty in the quilt to prevent others from catching cold."

Aiwass tucked in the quilt, then put on a shirt, then stood up and asked: "Your Majesty the Grand Arbiter - what are you doing here?"

When he changed his name, he wanted to talk about business.

And Ligeia is also a human being. She naturally understood what Aiwass meant.

"Good boy!"

Ligeia praised: "It's much neater than before - I just came to ask you, what are those things on your boat for?"

"Consecrated Griffin Armor," Aiwass said seriously, "I brought back more than a thousand sets."

"What's that?"

Ligeia asked curiously.

It's not a compliment - she who was born as a commoner really doesn't know.

"You must know the consecrated mercerized cotton, which is the raw material of the Theocratic State's specialty silk stockings. The full name of the holy water is also 'consecrated pure water'. This is a special processing method unique to the Theocratic State."

Aiwass explained patiently: "This is the key reinforcement I brought to the Griffin Knights."

"Aimed at demons?"

Ligeia guessed it easily.

She was a little surprised: "I thought you would dismantle the turrets on the warships and give them to the griffins... but you would actually give them armor?"

It was obvious that Ligeia was aware of the glorious exploits of the Cruel Preacher. That well-matched shot was so stunning that it shocked not only the demons, but also other human countries who saw this scene directly or indirectly.

Ask yourself, it is impossible for the military of any country to break through the firepower network of the "cruel preacher". In other words, this ship can complete the epic challenge of "destroying a country with a single vehicle" under extreme conditions.

And Ligeia will naturally be interested in the magical device that can shoot scorching lasers more than ten kilometers away as long as it is injected with mana.

"I've also found someone to copy that thing, but it can't be considered to be for the Gryphon Legion. Because that device must be controlled by a bishop-level priest, so it is actually not suitable for the Gryphon Legion that is locked on the path of authoritarianism. ”

Aiwass explained: "The Griffin Legion will be the main force against the demons, so we must concentrate the resources of the entire Theocracy."

"Why the Griffin Legion?"

Ligeia was very surprised: "Where are Narcissus's Mage Legion? And Horus's Sun Chaser Legion. These are the top combat forces in frontal combat, right?"

It's not that she's timid. It's because she knows the strengths and weaknesses of the Griffin Legion too well——

The Gryphon's strength is its ability to easily break through several times the speed of sound.

There is no need to forcefully break the sound barrier. The resistance of the air can even be used as motivation for the griffins, the darlings of the storm. Looking at the entire material world, the race with the fastest average speed is undoubtedly the griffin.

But griffins have no spellcasting ability and no magical skills. Although it can spit thunder and lightning, its power is limited - after all, there is only so much mana that can be stored, and mana involving thunder and lightning consumes extra mana.

The tepid discharge is really not lethal. And the speed of thunder is so fast that almost all the mana can be released instantly... This means that the Griffin Corps is extremely lacking in the ability to fight for a long time.

For human enemies, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming.

Because they only need one attack to break the enemy's defense line and penetrate the enemy's supply. Although they can only attack once, this time is enough.

However...

"For endless demons, what role can the griffin play?"

Ligeia's doubts are natural.

And Aiwas gave a clear answer: "Because demons are afraid of thunder."

"... Afraid of thunder? How afraid? Like werewolves are afraid of fire?"

"More than that, just like the Moon Child is afraid of dusk, the Shadow Demon is afraid of light, and the Ghost is afraid of purification."

Aiwas shook his head and explained.

The Moon Child is a monster that is almost impossible to be killed by physical weapons, but it has many weaknesses.

For example, they cannot cross flowing water, and they cannot break into other people's houses violently...

The main weakness is the power of the Dusk Path - such as freezing and petrification, which is the negation and elimination of "immortality" itself.

The second is that as a creation of the Eternal Self, they are destined to lack the ability to resist the "burning state" of the continuously burning flame; as a cursed product, they will also temporarily remove immortality because purification can remove the immortal curse.

But werewolves, moon children, beasts...even humans, trees and trolls are afraid of fire because fire can leave them with injuries that are difficult to heal and cannot heal themselves.

These lives born from the "Source of Creation" have similar underlying structures. For most biospheres, fire is basically a sure kill without the use of "drugs" adapted to the path.

But this does not mean that fire can suppress their other abilities - just like when humans fight against fire, their intelligence, strength and endurance will not decrease.

...Probably not.

However, the restraint mode of lightning on demons is the type of "once it hits and breaks the defense, it will definitely cause the maximum damage and will definitely hit hard."

Whether the lightning falls on the demon's weapon, solid shell or armor, it can cause full damage - as long as it does not fall on the barrier.

This is because the damage of natural lightning has the attribute of "punishment", and the underlying power of demons comes from the system of major sins... As you can see from the name, "major sins" are naturally afraid of "punishment".

"In other words, griffins don't even need to use their full strength to cause fatal damage to demons of the same level. The only problem is... although the griffin's attack on the demon will definitely pass, the demon's attack on the griffin will also pass.

"Griffins have no resistance to curses and no sacred attributes. This means that most of the demon's methods are 100% effective against griffins... Therefore, even if the griffin has the ability to absolutely restrain the demon, it can't get close at all.

"So I prepared a large number of consecrated griffin armors - each one was consecrated by a clergyman above the archbishop through half a month of devout prayer. Curses below the fourth energy level cannot be broken at all, and curses higher than this energy level also require a considerable proportion of power to be reduced.

"At the same time, they will also increase the resistance to the 'holy' category, and the damage of ghosts, curses, and foul evil categories will be greatly weakened. The knights riding on the griffins will also gain a permanent 'evil-proof' ability.

"The griffins and their knights will gain a constant source of vitality, and can continuously heal themselves and even heal their allies. It's like the knights are part-time paladins of a lower energy level.

"Although the 'evil-proof' ability to kill demons is not as good as 'punishment', it has some weak restraint, and the attack range is wider. "

Ewass said slowly: "With this set of griffin armor, this is no longer the 'Griffin Legion', nor is it the 'First Legion' that could only be used for surprise attacks in the past. It is an ace legion against demons, and will even fight in conjunction with the most elite troops of the Church! The knightly tradition of Avalon has been revived today...

"I named it the Holy Eagle Knights."
