Pastor's Tantra

After Aiwass woke up, he immediately tidied up his ceremony venue.

The white crystal pendant that had been smoked before was no longer pure. Aiwass ground it into powder and set it aside for later use.

After receiving the breath of the dream world, the spirituality in it was so mixed that the concept of "white crystal" was lost. In all refinements or rituals that require "white crystal" to be used, it will only lead to failure.

But it's not pure garbage either. The scientific name of this thing is "Secondary Dream Crystal". In alchemy and ritual, it has a very weak concept of confusing dreams and reality.

If two opposite magic powers are injected into a portion of crystal dust, then the extract of the entire brain of an adult cuttlefish is used to reconcile them. Finally, put it into a bottle of white wine and distill it until only half is left, then you get three parts of Wangyou water. Drinking a portion can make people forget their most sorrowful things like a dream.

——In the main mission of the game, "Aiwass" fell into grief after Yulia died, and his whole person became obviously depressed and haggard. At that time, under the guidance of Aiwass's adoptive father, Professor James Moriarty, the player used the white crystal pendant that Aiwass gave to the player character as a souvenir after he advanced as a material to make this potion, which made Aiwass Take it.

After drinking the potion, Aiwass fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up again, I felt much better.

It was as if that incident didn't happen a few days ago, but a few years ago.

That was also the first time in the game that James Moriarty participated in the main plot.

...Now that Aiwass is personally preparing this potion, there is always a subtle feeling.

However, now that Aiwass thinks about it...probably from the beginning of this mission, it was hinted that old James had quite good alchemy knowledge. Because Wangyou Shui is not a common magic potion. At least as far as Aiwass' impression is concerned, he has never appeared in the main mission since then.

After cleaning up all the traces of the ritual left in his bedroom, Aiwass left his room.

He told the housekeeper at home that his room could be cleaned now. The housekeeper, Mrs. Luo Wei, agreed and called Aiwass's personal maid.

Generally speaking, servants do not need to always follow their masters like followers. They are usually separated from their masters when working. After all, Moriarty Manor is in the White Queen, so it can't be too big. But there are more than twenty rooms in the main building alone... which requires servants to clean them in real time.

Usually, foreign affairs will contact the housekeeper Oswald, and domestic affairs will contact the housekeeper Mrs. Rowe. They are the easiest to find.

The former is the guardian of the Moriarty family, while the latter is just a hired human housekeeper.

In other knight families, there is no need for special instructions from the master - as long as they leave their location, the housekeeper will immediately order someone to clean the place where they have been.

But Moriarty Manor is an exception.

Because among the four owners here, Aiwass rarely goes out after graduating from middle school. Yulia was not allowed to go out or go near an open window. Edward basically only came back one or two days a month...only James would go out and come home frequently.

Not to mention the arrangements for banquets and travel, there is not even much domestic garbage. In addition to cleaning the room as usual, the servants just chatted together where the masters could not see them.

And the servants all know that the Moriarty family is a family of extraordinary people, and they are all studying occult knowledge. The various open books may contain dangerous knowledge that would cause dementia or death for ordinary people at a glance; and the various things placed on the table on the ground may also be part of rituals or enchantments.

So they don't go to the bedroom to clean up the trash until the housekeeper says it's "clear." Even if I clean it, I just restore the original arrangement of various objects and try not to touch these things.

"Good morning, Master Aiwass."

The maid with long flaxen curly hair who was caring for the oil painting came over and said hello softly.

"Good morning, Lily."

Aiwass also greeted his personal maid in a friendly manner: "I have good news for you... You can also go to school."

Hearing this, Lily suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"...can I go to school too?"

She was the personal maid who took care of Aiwass when he first came to the Moriarty family.

Aiwass was six years old at the time and Lily was only fourteen. They had already become familiar with each other.

Lily is usually responsible for cleaning Aiwass's bedroom, cleaning and changing his underwear, and accompanying him when he goes out.

Taking into account the issues of safety, dignity and appearance, these personal servants and maids are usually not from civilian backgrounds in the full sense, but are children of relatives or illegitimate children of other families.

For example, Lily is the child of an old knight and a prostitute.

Her original surname was Drost, but she lost her surname after becoming a maid to the Moriarty family.

The Droste family did not want a prostitute's child to have a chance to inherit the inheritance, and they also felt that if she went to school with the Droste name, it would be detrimental to the Droste family's reputation. But it would also be a shame if she was left outside and allowed to live on her own.

In the end, the old knight asked old James to hire Lily as his personal maid.

This is said to be hiring a maid, but in fact it can also be said to be a kind of surrogate child care. Professor Moriarty was also very kind to her - although her job as a maid prevented her from continuing in school, studying at the junior high school level was enough for her to master the basics. She will also be provided with various books at home so that she can learn things of interest to herself after work.

"Of course, even though you are just accompanying me. But you also have to listen together."

Aiwass smiled gently and patted the wheelchair under him: "I can't let Mr. Oswald accompany me to school, can I? Then I will be laughed at by my classmates. I need someone to push the wheelchair. .”

"Then...what about Mr. Wade? He can still protect you."

Wade is the name of James Sr.'s valet.

Aiwass shook his head: "I'm not qualified yet."

According to Avalonian etiquette, only people with high enough status can have personal servants, just like only knight families can hire personal servants. Those businessmen, nouveau riche, and high-ranking civil servants who have not yet received their armory can only hire maids. Not only are valets needed to do many physical jobs, but valets also serve as guards and bodyguards, responsible for protecting the safety of the mansion together with the butler.

The two personal servants of the Moriarty family belong to James Sr. and his eldest brother Edward. Edward's valet was placed in another house of his in the Red Queen - for the convenience of traveling to work, he bought an apartment near the Inspectorate. Only when he goes home will he take his valet home with him.

When he went to see Bishop Mathers before, Butler Oswald personally took him there because Bishop Mathers' status was high enough.

But Butler Oswald couldn't take care of him every day.

Until Aiwass can obtain the third level of Shadow Affinity and be able to completely control the Shadow Demon, or until the dark attribute pool reaches 50 points and he can create a blank card to seal the Shadow Demon, he will obviously be unable to do without a wheelchair.

It's okay at home. Or it doesn't matter where there are no people.

But even if the shadow demon is peaceful and not a demon, as long as Aiwass stands on his shadow, he has conceptually completed a "connection" with his shadow demon. Then his shadow will simply boil - become thick and solid, and continue to squirm and smoke.

Something was obviously going to happen. As for pushing the wheelchair by myself, although it is not impossible to walk, it is too tiring.

"...Can I really do this?"

Lily was a little nervous and stretched out her hand to grasp the hem of her clothes: "My father...that man said that he didn't want me to go to school. And...and even if I push your wheelchair, you will be criticized by your classmates. Bar."

She obviously wanted to go, but was afraid of getting into trouble. Rather than trying to convince Aiwass, it’s more trying to convince himself why he can’t go.

"How could it be possible," Aiwass laughed, "They are envious. After all, I can have such a beautiful girl accompanying me to class."

Of course, the real reason is... He knows that Lily really wants to go to school and is full of thirst for knowledge.

Although theoretically he is not qualified to be a valet, he is in a special situation after all. The school should also be able to give special approval.

But Wade is not interested in this, so he might as well give the opportunity to Lily. After all, she is the sister who has been taking care of him since he was a child...

In the original world line, Lily would die in a side mission three or four months later. A death of insignificance and insignificance.

It would be better to let her come to school with him.

These characters who do not appear in the "plot" also have "unknown" possibilities in a sense.

"...Nothing. You are too complimentary."

Hearing this, Lily blushed.

Although she was a little girlishly confident about her appearance, she actually knew that Aiwass was joking and comforting herself.

The serious-looking housekeeper beside her couldn't help but smile.

She obviously also had a good impression of this polite but introverted young maid. She gently patted Lily on the shoulder and reminded, "Thank you, Master Aiwass."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Only then did Lily react and bowed deeply.

Her tears were a little uncontrollable, and her vision was a little blurry.

Because she realized Aiwass wasn't just saying it casually or joking - he was serious.

This made her feel happy.

Even the slightly blurry world in front of him seemed to be shining brightly under the dawn.
