Pastor's Tantra

After satisfying Cardinal Belisarius, Aiwass suddenly understood these cardinals.

——As co-authors, you actually all have opinions in your heart, but you just suppress them and don’t mention them?

I don’t know if I don’t want to mention it, or if I don’t dare to mention it…

But since there are demands, that's a good thing - no matter how difficult the demand is, it's always better than not knowing what the demand is.

Although Aiwass was not in the product department in his previous life, he also knows that it is easy for people to scold him if he changes his requirements every day. If a requirement keeps changing, the most likely reason is that they don’t actually know what the requirement is, so they just mention it and change it later. It’s roughly equivalent to asking someone “What do you want to eat?” and the other person replies “Whatever.”

After all, the "casual" dishes in this world are always the most difficult to make.

"Oh, by the way, Cardinal Favna."

Aiwass also thought of poor little Rhine - this child has learned almost from the founding of Avalon to today. And it's not the kind of reading that involves rote memorization, but getting beaten every day.

...Who makes giant dragons adaptable people, able to automatically adapt to the external environment and quickly become stronger through life and death crises? Nowadays, there are no crises in peacetime, so Cardinal Favna began to create artificial crises to force evolution.

This cannot be considered a mistake, after all, the world will indeed change greatly in the future. From this perspective, Cardinal Fafnir can also be regarded as prescient.

But the problem here is that she didn't do it based on her own judgment.

It was to carry out Heleqin's "last wish" and train Rhine into the strongest warrior in the world - but Heleqin didn't even know this.

He said this at that time entirely because he knew Favna well enough. Therefore, I know that Valrhona is somewhat yandere and a little crazy.

He knew that he would probably not be able to return alive from this trip, and he was worried that Favna would commit suicide and die in love, so he wanted to find something for her to do. It also reminds her that she still has her own child.

It is also a good wish for the child's future... similar to "I hope our child can become a great scientist in the future" or "It would be great if the child can become a high official in the future".

After Helechin died, Cardinal Fafna did not commit suicide.

The good news is that at least she is not dead, she is still alive, and she has raised her child well; the bad news is that she really accepts her death and must achieve this goal - she is so stubborn that even the Pope cannot convince her.

Let Herchin do this himself.

Coincidentally, when Aiwass and Aleister merged, Heleqin, whom Aleister went to Avalon to conquer, was automatically transferred over.

Seeing Cardinal Favna, whose hair covered one eye and exuded a gloomy aura, turn her head, Aiwass said with a smile: "I brought you an old friend."

"...Friends?"

Favna let out her low, hoarse voice.

Her voice was as dry and indifferent as the first words she spoke after staying up all night and working overtime without saying a word. There is a kind of fatigue that although the person is not asleep yet, it is as if he has just woken up.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

It is said that Cardinal Favna has not slept for a long time.

Anyway, as a dragon, she can replenish her mana by more than just dreaming. Not to mention, praying and sacrificing fire can replenish mana and heal injuries. As for why you don’t sleep…

...Maybe it’s because she doesn’t want to dream.

For a giant dragon with a long lifespan, if it falls in love with someone and then watches the other person die... in the days after, every dream will be painful.

After the meeting with the bishops, Aiwass had released the transformation of the Sin Beast. Therefore, he has long since resumed the use of power beyond the path.

So Aiwass directly took out a card and called: "Heleqin!"

"……What?"

Cardinal Favna was startled when she heard this, and then her eyes suddenly widened: "Helchin...?!"

The next moment, a silver storm surged from behind Aiwass.

"——I am here at the call."

A clear voice came.

In the storm, blue thunder leaped. A translucent figure emerged from it.

At this moment, Heleqin did not wear a helmet and did not turn into dusk. He was still the same silver-armored hero as pure white as snow and as bright as the sun.

Gorgeous short golden hair and bright turquoise eyes.

As soon as he emerged, he only looked around half a circle, and his eyes were immediately attracted by Favna's figure.

At that moment, the surroundings fell into silence.

Whether it was Aiwass or the other cardinals, they watched this scene in silence.

Favna, on the other hand, stretched out a hand to cover her mouth and stared at Heleqin without saying a word. But every time she blinked, her eyes were momentarily shrouded in transparent mist.

Herchin's expression became extremely complicated.

He scratched his forehead, then shrugged his shoulders as if being scratched, and adjusted his armor - obviously he was already a spirit body and would not feel anything at all.

But looking at his reaction, Favna realized something, and tears finally flowed out.

She realized that this was the real Helchin she knew.

The great Pope brought her husband back to life after he had been dead for hundreds of years!

Those who are dead but still have their bodies will be stripped of their fourth realm, and those who are dead but still have their souls will be stripped of their six realms. Heleqin's body was cooked and eaten by the giants, so only his soul must remain. This kind of remnant soul doesn't even have self-awareness, let alone clear emotions.

But looking at Heleqin in front of me, even though he is in an undead state...

But this look, with a clear will and a clear aura, doesn't look like an ordinary undead?

Not even the Wild Hunt is so clear-headed!

This is as complete as a living person entering a dream!

"Is this also...a miracle?"

Favna's cold and gloomy voice suddenly softened, her voice was vague and whimpering.

The relationship between them is not as simple as being a couple for hundreds of years. Their years together were many times longer than anyone else's - even their parents, mentors, and other relatives and friends.

When they were both very young and weak, they were good brothers who faced powerful enemies together. They are childhood sweethearts, comrades-in-arms, brothers, lovers, companions, teachers and students... but also close friends who trust each other.

They have gone through many life and death crises together, and the precious memories they have formed with each other are like pearls, and their friendship is as strong as diamonds.

If Favna had not been pregnant, they would have died together without hesitation - Favna sometimes thought that if she had followed her, maybe Heleqin would not have died?

Even the Giant King can only fight against one Heleqin at most without using conspiracy and tricks. If Heleqin has Favna who can bring him high-speed maneuvers, has sufficient combat power, and has healing and buffing abilities, this 1+1 will explode into a strength far greater than 3.

Maybe...that's a qualitative change.

Or maybe... they will be killed by the Supreme Heaven himself.

But no matter what, it's better than being alone.

"Sorry, Favna..."

Heleqin's slightly ethereal voice sounded.

He was still feeling uncomfortable at the same place when he saw Favna crying. He immediately stopped hesitating and rushed forward in three steps and then two steps.

He put his hand behind Favna's back, trying to squeeze and then loosen it. He held her in his arms for the last time.

Feeling the cold and solid touch, Favna's whole body twitched as if she had been electrocuted.

For a moment, she didn't dare to hug Heleqin. Because she would worry that Heleqin was just an untouchable shadow. If she tried to hug Heleqin, but her hands could only pass through shadows and air... Favna couldn't imagine how she would collapse at that time.

But at this moment, when she realized that she could actually touch Heleqin, Favna finally couldn't contain the ecstasy and sadness in her heart.

She hugged Heleqin in the spirit state with her backhand and buried her head in his arms. The strong dragon horn repeatedly hit Heleqin's breastplate like a battering ram, making a clear and solid sound of metal collision.

Favna seemed to be back to her youth again, crying heartbreakingly.

Looking at this scene, Aiwass finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Some regrets, but ultimately satisfied.

——I brought Heleqin back to you.

Thanks to the Lord of Scales and Feathers... and the "warrior" inheritance brought back by Aiwass, Heleqin changed from an earth-attribute undead to a wind-attribute warrior spirit, and regained his wisdom and consciousness.

Otherwise, if Favna hugged Heleqin, who only had simple consciousness and partial memory, and was still resentful... Aiwass didn't know if he could hold on to such sad crying.

"That's great."

Aiwass looked at this scene and murmured softly.

He realized again what his changed future had brought.

He changed the future, saw more people smiling, and saw more tragedies eliminated before he was born...

——You will know that you are walking on the right path.
