Pastor's Tantra

After Bishop Mathers saw Aiwass, he knelt down without waiting for Aiwass to get closer.

His eyes were extremely bright, and he was extremely happy: "Meet His Majesty the Pope - meet the son of the candlestick!"

"No, no... I am no longer the Pope."

Aiwass was startled, and hurriedly ran over and helped Bishop Mathers up, who was bowing to Aiwass: "You don't have to do this."

He has always respected this elder.

Not only because the other person is his guide on the road of dedication...but also because he has really helped me too much.

When Aiwass's parents were killed in the past, it was because of Bishop Mathers' intimidation that Aiwass was able to survive. Being sent to an orphanage to meet Yulia, and being adopted by old James... It can be said that "Aiwass"'s life is closely related to Bishop Mathers.

Not to mention, Aiwass was able to get the Book of Law first and completely kill the Noble Red, thanks to the prophecy made by Mrs. Mina. When Aiwass and Sherlock faked their deaths one after another, it was Mathers' shelter and cover that ensured the success of the plan.

It is said that the former Pope learned about Aiwass because of Mathers’ report! Because of this, he had the opportunity to go to the Theocracy to learn advanced divine arts, and became a cardinal... and even briefly became the eternal pope.

"But you are still the son of Si Zhu."

Bishop Mathers' eyes were bright: "I am a coward... I don't have the courage to continue on the path of devotion. I just want to be an ordinary person. I dare not continue to give up other feelings.

"——But even so, I still respect Lord Si Zhu who leads all sentient beings on the path of devotion."

Indeed.

Aiwass clearly remembered that the first time Bishop Mathers taught him the method of sacrificing fire, he called out the name of Zhu Zhu with great piety. He also stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, as if there were illusory antlers there - that was a sacrament unique to the priest of the Nine Pillars, but the priest of the Candlestick.

"Don't call me Lord Aiwass, Bishop Mathers."

Aiwass said seriously: "Just call me Aiwass..."

Seeing Mathers' obvious resistance, Aiwass took a step back and said, "In this way, we can no longer use honorifics when calling each other's names, okay, Mathers? It's because of your teachings back then. , I will never forget this kindness.

"I want you to enter the Theocracy and continue your studies, is that okay? If you are willing to go, I think you can try advanced magic. If you really don't want to continue to advance, this opportunity can also be given to your sister...even if It is impossible to learn advanced divine arts, but the position of archbishop is still okay. In that case, she can also take over your position.

"I also plan to give you the job transfer requirements for my special profession 'Enlightener' - the bishop I trust most is you. I have already given it to the Theocracy before, and now I plan to use it in Ava Takashi also popularizes this new inheritance besides the Torch Burners...it's up to you to select the personnel, okay?"

Although Mathers has used the fire sacrificial method to restore the appearance of a young man in his thirties, he is still a middle-aged and elderly man older than Aiwass' biological father.

When he heard the "mission" assigned by Aiwass, not only did he not dislike it, but he was very moved. He held Aiwass's hand tightly with both hands, almost crying.

For Mathers, this is Sizhu's approval!

For a devotee, "being helped" never means happiness. On the contrary, helping others will bring a kind of sincere happiness and a sense of sacred mission that "I must do it".

Although Mathers does not want to continue to be promoted, it does not mean that he has denied the path he has taken so far. He is still one of the highest-level devotees among the Avalonians, and the highest mentor of the "priest" profession in Avalon!

"Sir, Si Zhu... I was able to accept your father and you as my students one after another, it must be Si Zhu's guidance..."

Mathers lowered his head and said piously.

Although Aiwass has asked him to treat himself as calmly as possible...but the faith from the heart cannot be reversed in a short time.

Aiwass didn’t say much, he just lit himself up and gave out light.

The illumination technique enhanced by the Enlightener immediately calmed down Mathers' fluctuating mood. Then Mathers also used the lighting technique - Aiwass also felt his extremely pure spirit from Mathers' lighting technique.

This is a communication method unique to high-level priests.

Through light-to-light communication, one can understand each other's moods without words.

"I won't go to the Theocracy... I want to live peacefully with Mina. If it weren't for guarding the royal family's holy tomb, it would be impossible to do without people. I wouldn't be able to choose a second guardian of the holy tomb for a while. I don’t even want to be a ‘church spokesman’.”

Mathers sighed: "I will continue to guard the tomb in Avalon. That precious opportunity... should be given to my sister. Although we once quarreled over Mina, we still love each other after all. relatives.

"But it's best to ask her about this first - maybe she doesn't want to leave Avalon? I heard that she also adopted an adopted daughter. Maybe she doesn't want to work hard anymore. But if she wants to go If so... Mina and I don't have children either, so I can help her take care of them when the time comes."

"No problem," Aiwass nodded, "I'll be there in a minute."

Not sending someone to go, but going in person - this is enough to show that Aiwass recognized and valued Bishop Mathers.

"By the way, Mathers," Aiwass asked, "You suddenly came to see me in the Palace of Silver and Tin today...what's the matter?"

"That's it, Aiwass."

Bishop Mathers handed over the key to St. Guinevere's Chapel: "I remember that you used to like to use it for self-defense... I don't know if you have it now. But I heard that you are dressing up as a lion. The Eagle Legion…”

Mr. Bishop hesitated to speak, but finally said resolutely: "Are we going to go to war with the devil? In that case, I hope you can accept it - you need it more than me and more than the chapel.

"Even if it can only provide a little power, it's still better than nothing. If I can help you even a little bit, it will increase our winning rate. This is much better than not being able to help at all."

"...It's really going to help me."

Aiwass was not polite and took the key.

It's not that he still needs the key itself to protect himself now... but because this "fragment of the red-handled sword" contains the soul of a high-level phantom with light attributes.

Theoretically, the souls of all the Knights of the Round Table have followed Arthur to become the Silver Crowned Dragon, and eventually became His apostles. Even Moriarty's "ancestor" Mordred is the same.

Therefore, the soul inside the red-handled sword is not "a certain Knight of the Round Table", but "the incarnation of all the Knights of the Round Table". The red-handled sword was sealed and broken by Merlin, symbolizing the end of the theocratic war and that they no longer needed "risky power".

At this point, "Knight" has become the epitome of the old era.

In the past, the Knights of the Round Table gained their strength from the position of "knight" on the path of strength. Now, the path of strength has collapsed and there is no such profession as "knight" at all. Naturally, there is no inheritance of "Knights of the Round Table".

Therefore, the soul of the paladin in the red-handled sword can actually be regarded as an "unnamed Knight of the Round Table". He has no name and is not known by other Knights of the Round Table - because he is the condensation and symbol of the sacred experience of all the knights completing the Battle of Punishing the Sky, the Battle of Slaughtering the Sky, and the Battle of Burning the Sky!

The power to seal it comes from Merlin.

If you want to lift this seal, you need to find another dream demon...

When Aiwass was still weak, he planned to use Tommy's sister who was killed by Lloyd in the "Sons of the Snake" ritual - the Miss Lovita who has not yet been found to unlock the sword. .

But she is a BOSS that only appeared in the Shadow of Avalon version. In other words, it was after the Fallen Sky Division was defeated.

So now, she should be on the opposite side - among those dream demons who were forcibly summoned to the lower world by the Fallen Heaven Division, one of them is Lovita!

In this case, it is naturally difficult to seek her help.

But Aiwass had another idea.

It is said that to untie a bell, one must tie it——

Aiwass planned to summon Merlin directly and ask him to lift the seal he had arranged. By the way, he would ask him... what materials would be needed if he wanted to repair the sword and fully awaken the phantom inside.

Anyway, let’s collect them first.

When Aiwass plays games, he likes to take on a bunch of tasks first. Then finish them all in one go and receive the rewards together when the time comes.

Even if the sword cannot be repaired before the crusade against the Fallen Heavenly Division, it is definitely not wrong to prepare in advance!

after all……

Only Aiwass knew that the crusade against the Fallen Heaven Division would not be the end, but only another beginning.

During the crusade against Fallen Heavenly Division, so many people could still be gathered together, and the forces of many countries could be gathered together, with legions of different races united in the crusade. But when more Tiansi came later, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves.

By then, the difficulty of conquering Tiansi will only increase, not decrease.

——More power is needed!

Thinking of this, Aiwass' pupils lit up with a purple glow.
