Pastor's Tantra

After Langton left, Aiwass held the little crow in his arms and suddenly said:

"I quite like this young man."

——Although Aiwass himself is nearly ten years younger than Langton, his rather old-fashioned words at this time are surprisingly not inconsistent.

"Why?"

Vines was inexplicably dissatisfied: "Is it because of the words he praised you for?"

"Because of you."

"……What?"

Aiwass's words made Vines suddenly stuck for a moment.

"Just kidding," Aiwass chuckled, "actually it's because he has empathy, is cautious, and doesn't want to fool people. He can think of those who have not been rescued, and can remember that Avalon was not very accepting before. The Transcendent can directly state that he may not be able to help me when I say "I need a Bayard"... instead of responding first and then thinking about how to deal with the past, which means that he has subconsciously considered that he should How to get this done.”

"With your status, it's normal for him not to dare to fool you."

On the contrary, Vignes began to pour cold water on his juniors: "This does not prove that he can be so cautious in other matters."

"That's a mentality issue, not an ability issue. Even so, there is a possibility that he will adjust."

Aiwass said casually, smiling and pinching the warm belly of the little crow in his arms: "Why are you still jealous of your own junior? He is a boy, my little crow."

He could feel that Bayard was jealous because he was praising other Bayards.

"...This is the impact of the brand of jealousy on me." Bayard said harshly.

"Yeah, I guess so."

Aiwass did not continue to emphasize this topic: "But you said...'The territory is the secret, the blood is the key'. Is this a universal principle of curses? Is the same true for the Herasl Vault? Come here? It was also made by your Bayard family?"

"Definitely not."

Vignes replied affirmatively: "That is a royal treasure house. How could you find a folk curse master to arrange it? If Bayard of a certain generation becomes ill or is bribed, doesn't it mean that the key to the treasure house has been stolen?" Got one?

"But the principle is the same... it must be a curse. Whether it is a ritual, mechanism or barrier, it is too easy to crack. As long as there is enough time to operate, no matter how complicated the ritual is, it can be cracked. Since the Herasl secret has not been cracked until now, it means that it can only be based on a curse. "

Indeed. Aiwass thought.

The ritual in Eagle Point Village was like this - Aiwass was only at the third level at that time, but he could already decipher the Swampman ritual arranged by his grandfather. He didn't take action simply because he didn't know if it would cause trouble to the residents of Eagle Point Village; even Vivian, who didn't understand the ritual at all, would end up stealing Arondette and causing the Avatar arranged by Merlin. The Shadow of Long Ritual was destroyed - she didn't even know that this "dagger" was related to the Shadow of Avalon Ritual, and could easily destroy other people's rituals.

That's what rituals are. Although it can defeat the weak, the process is too complicated and the principle is too black box - it is like a transmission device composed of many gears. If any one of the gears stops spinning or is damaged, it may cause a series of chain reactions. Produce a result that no one expected.

"...Since it's a curse," Aiwass said, "can you help lift it?"

"It can't be done."

Crow shook his head: "This is the biggest difference between curses and rituals. Ritualists can lift and counter the rituals of other ritualists, but cursers cannot lift the curses imposed by others. If you want a universal cracking method, you need It's light - a powerful enough purification power that can lift the curse, but in that case, the curse itself will be completely destroyed."

Is it also physical unlocking...

Aiwass thought about it and asked: "If the curse is used to preserve the treasure, will this cracking method destroy the treasure inside?"

"meeting."

Vignes said with certainty: "Just like the contaminated remains of Sister Sasha, Master, you have to pray to Sister Sasha to personally purify the pollution, instead of just throwing it into the holy water to soak. People who have been sick for a long time , and you can’t use strong medicine, your body won’t be able to hold on.”

But as soon as she said these words, she realized what Aiwass wanted to do: "Do you want to open the secret of Herasl?"

"Although the Herasl Vault is occupied by Valentine...but it does not belong to Valentine, nor does it belong to Star Antimony. Moreover, it is more than that."

Aiwass thought and whispered: "Langton's existence gave me a revelation... Even Bayard who is living abroad can be counted as Bayard.

"——Then, if the Swampert is made with the blood of Herasl's royal family, can it also be regarded as the real Hercules?"

Now that Valentine VII is dead, Valentine VIII is being transformed into a son of the moon, and Queen Louise, the former regent, has also voluntarily fallen into a succubus. In a sense, the royal inheritance of the Star Antimony Kingdom has long been in a mess, and the political power can be said to have completely fallen.

Although the eldest princess has the courage to inherit the throne of the monarch... but now her control over Star Antimony has almost disappeared, and even the people no longer have trust in Valentine. And the eldest princess does not so much want to become a monarch as she wants to improve the chaos in Xing Antimony so that the people of Xing Antimony can live a good life.

As for Prince Szijjaldo, he didn't want to be a monarch at all. He just wanted to be a safe alchemist.

And all the other royal family members who had the hope of inheriting the throne had been killed by the Red Prime Minister.

In this case...

"I suddenly remembered... Julia's real name before being adopted was Julia Hercules."

Aivas narrowed his eyes slightly: "Coincidentally, she is also an alchemist. The Star Antimony people will like her... After all, she will also participate in the decisive battle."

There is another reason why Aiwas suddenly had this idea.

Don't the Moon Sons want to rebuild the Helasar Empire? Isn't the revival of Helasar the slogan that connects them to each other and makes them declare cross-national and cross-power cooperation?

- If they rebuild a real Helasar directly on the ruins of the Star Antimony... How should they choose?

Let Xingti merge with Avalon - it has all the nine great ways of inheritance, and its geographical location is also on the old territory of Helasar. It can even reopen the Helasar secrets. The people are the pure-blooded Helasar people of the past, and the ruler is still the pure-blooded Hercules. Even the legal basis for the revival of this old empire can be recognized by the Pope... and Julia can be allowed to become emperor.

In this way, war and hatred will be eliminated.

The dispute between Avalon and Xingti has become a regional dispute within a country; the Narcissus Principality and the Black Eagle Principality, which previously claimed to be independent under the claim of "Hlasar's orthodox inheritance", may not be unable to rejoin - they broke off their relationship with the Xingti Kingdom, what does it have to do with the New Helasar Empire?

And the Iris Kingdom, which is equally wary of Xingti and Avalon, and is even likely to have contributed a lot to the independence of the Narcissus Principality and the Black Eagle Principality, is unlikely to conflict with the "New Helasar".

So, peace came. Peace will bring prosperity, and prosperity will bring glory.

At that time, it will not be difficult to truly "revive Herasil".

When a country looks like Herasil, sounds like Herasil, and feels like Herasil...

--then it is Herasil.
