Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 768 He will rise, and he will fall

"Everyone here eats me - the Moon Child eats his own blood slaves, and I let my lover eat me."

Count Leipzig said slowly: "With the love accumulated over the years, when they have eaten enough of me, they will gradually become another me. It is not to take away their souls, but to let their souls merge with me.

"So they are not completely myself, but another me. In other words, I made myself into these shapes. Is there anyone in the stars who stipulates that people cannot carve their own limbs? Or in other words, who stipulates that people cannot make themselves into works of art? They are all voluntary - not offering their bodies, but they are willing to participate in it."

As soon as Count Leipzig finished speaking, the "vase girl" opened her eyes.

She made a hoarse and ethereal voice: "If you don't believe it..."

Then, the boy with deer horns who was being chased by bullets also put away his fear and turned around: "Then I can change someone."

The saint who was sewn into the tree also looked over with difficulty: "I'm telling you the same thing."

"To verify the truth of this matter."

"To prove how hot, sticky and deadly this love is—"

"……snort."

General Karl snorted coldly, frowned, and uttered a few words fiercely: "What a monster."

As he finished speaking, the sculptures returned to their original positions.

Count Leipzig walked up behind him cheerfully and put his hand on his shoulder: "Son of the Moon is like this... But, you just said that you are a fifth-level transcendent? Now... I'm afraid you are no longer."

"Yes. I am now a 'warrior' and a 'fire wielder'."

General Karl said calmly, tilting his head slightly.

His originally dark golden pupils turned into burning flames, as if they were just two windows through which he could see a burning building in the dark night.

"Why, you want to kill me?"

General Karl asked back, "Because I know things I shouldn't know... like the Tail Ring Ceremony?"

"Hong Xiang once requested this, but I saved your life."

Count Leipzig patted General Karl on the shoulder and said, "You have to thank me."

"Thank you so much - I take back what I said about you acting like a teenager."

General Karl was not surprised at all. He just nodded slightly and said something that was either ironic or praiseful: "At least you can still negotiate with your parents... What do your parents say?"

The general did not mention anything specific, but Count Leipzig already knew what he wanted to ask.

"I was just about to go back to Leipzig when my father called me back."

Count Leipzig complained, "It started with that idiot Alphonse... Father got angry and smashed things again, this time he even smashed through the ceiling. But fortunately he has such a good habit, at least he doesn't vent his anger on anyone.

"Just after my father calmed down a bit, the promotion of Yan Tiansi happened. He was even more furious at that time. He threw whatever he could get his hands on, and even threw me out. After all, he had coveted Earl Dawn's dragon liver for a long time... After I stopped you from being silenced, he asked me to list Earl Dawn as a victim of the Ring of the Tail."

"……victim?"

General Karl was stunned for a moment.

Count Leipzig said frankly, "Well, one of the secrets of the Tail Ring Ritual is that you must choose a fifth-level transcendent as the sacrifice - this position was originally yours. Since you are no longer a transcendent, it doesn't matter if I tell you this secret."

"You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will tell other people in the Rosicrucian?" General Karl was very surprised.

"Haha," Count Leipzig laughed, "Is it possible that almost everyone knows about this - except you? They know about it, but they didn't tell you... They didn't even tell you the details of the Tail Ring Ceremony. You should also know what this means, right?"

"……snort."

General Karl snorted coldly, knowing that Count Leipzig had done him another favor.

Compared to the demonologists, he seemed too upright and therefore out of place. Also for this reason, compared to other fifth-level demon incarnations, his control over the demons in his body was the weakest... and in this "one person needs to be chosen as a sacrifice" link, it was naturally the most unpopular General Carl who was "commonly recommended" by the people.

Not even one person came forward to tell on the police.

Karl could only nod and pocket this cheap, expired favor: "I'll remember it—whether it's you or them."

"Don't blame me. You know, I was able to join the Rosicrucian purely because of my father's influence. In the entire society, everyone knows that I am not the original Prince Heinrich. I was able to inherit the social relationships of my predecessor purely because I represent the Red Prime Minister..." Count Leipzig smiled and said, "Because of this, they will not regard me as one of their own. At least, they will avoid me in their plans regarding the Moon Child. In this regard, perhaps my information is not as good as yours..."

"Indeed."

Karl nodded: "I have some information here that may be of interest to you."

"I have some here too - how about you tell me first?"

Count Leipzig said gently.

"It's not just the Rosicrucian community. The entire society now believes that Earl Dawn was killed by the Red Prime Minister himself. The society is very dissatisfied with this. The Red Prime Minister's son was retaliated against by Sprengel, but the Red Prime Minister chose to remain silent about this.

"Several demon scholars of lower ranks within the academy were ordered by their superiors to provoke Hong Xiang and demand a response... They included members of the police and media, who spread the news that 'Hong Xiang was suspected of murder.' Many people also received orders and began to write news denouncing the Son of the Moon and publicizing his many evil deeds.

"Of course, in my opinion... these are all true. At least they didn't lie, they just wrote down things that were not allowed to be written before."

General Karl commented sharply.

"that's it?"

Count Leipzig smiled and said, "I know all this - then do you want to know what happened to those people?"

"what?"

Karl was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tightened his crutches: “What do you mean…the end?”

Count Leipzig raised his eyebrows and said leisurely:

"After my father calmed down for the second time, his mood became better. He told me... we no longer need to be patient, because the god belonging to us, the Children of the Moon, has been born.

"Neither the Blood Angel nor the Eternal God will easily respond to our prayers. The Fallen Angel worshipped by the demonologists is also a god of evil and cannot bring protection to the Stars. The Amber Angel worshipped by the Spirit Tower will also not provide protection for the living. The alchemists don't even have a holy protector to whom they can be related.

"Now, we, the Sons of the Moon, are the most suitable to be the rulers of the Stars. The Feast of the Heavens is different from those Heavens who are indifferent to the material world. The Dragon Lord is our ancestor and is a famous god of hospitality. He will surely be able to protect the Stars, just like the Silver Crown Dragon protects Avalon."

"……so what?"

"So those 'members of the society that denounced the Moon Child' you mentioned have all been killed by us."

The Count of Leipzig replied: "All the blood has been sucked dry, and they will all be hung upside down in the Leipzig Town Square tomorrow morning. From now on, Leipzig will be the new capital... I bought you a house in the heart of the capital. Are you happy?"

"...Kill them all?"

General Karl was surprised: "And you sucked all the blood? Aren't you afraid that people's awareness of resistance to the Moon Child will increase further?"

"Resist? How can they resist?"

Upon hearing this, Count Leipzig laughed and said, "Those who dare to resist will be killed.

"Father said that we don't need to care about the law, public opinion, and the news now - the blood moon belonging to the Son of the Moon has arrived, and we must seize this opportunity. The Star Antimony people have been waiting for a god that truly belongs to them for too long... and the Sons of the Moon all over the world have been longing for this day for too long.

"Now, the time has come. It is time to hold an intoxicating orgy to celebrate my Lord's ascension.

“Now, whoever dares to speak out will be hanged; whoever dares to resist will be killed... No matter who killed Count Dawn, it means that the winter demon has been extinct and we no longer have any natural enemies.

"You know, back in the Empire era, demons like the Fire Demon, Winter Demon, and Night Demon were worshipped as gods by the ignorant people... They are all apostles of the Fallen Angels, and they can't be summoned just because they want to."

"Then...what about His Majesty?"

The moment General Karl said this, he already had a bad feeling: "And... what about the Black Phase? What does the Ziggurat say?"

"Father said..."

Finn Heinrich von Leipzig said calmly, word by word, "He will deal with little Alfonso himself, there will be no problem. He is determined, even if the 'Principal' comes, he can't stop him."

"The curtain he opened will also fall with him. He will rise and he will set. Just like the sun, moon and stars, they rotate eternally, shining day and night...

"——This is called having a beginning and an end."
