Pastor's Tantra

"【difference】……"

Encyclopedia murmured in a low voice, as if he thought of something and fell into deep thought.

Drifter also understood: "So, there is this kind of mind-reading facility here as a means of defense? Because there are differences between people, and it can turn these differences into contradictions..."

"No, you got it wrong. This is not a defensive method, but a communication tool."

[Writing this, I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆]

Sine shook his head with a serious expression: "A communication tool that is countless times more advanced than language..."

"But precisely because it is advanced enough," Zhu Tang sighed with his eyes closed, "that also leads to the fact that it cannot be understood by others."

"Then you have to take it back!"

Professor Bader's attitude was extremely firm: "This is a great discovery in archaeology!"

Indeed.

Aiwass nodded.

The ancient people relied on this "device" that can resonate with the soul to create a glorious ancient civilization.

Although people today have become accustomed to "differences", they may not be able to accept this kind of technology that allows each other to integrate and complete each other again... Even according to Aiwass, people will be afraid of it.

It is a fear of secrets being eliminated and self being dissolved - everyone has the instinctive desire to "express themselves". This is the mortal instinct born of giving "difference". If this instinct is combined with human "creation" and "reproduction", a prosperous civilization will be born.

But to put it this way...

Such a harsh and aggressive blazing sun does not seem to be the behavior of a devotee.

Xi Tiansi’s parents are both Eternal Egos. As a pure-blooded creature of the Path of Love, he has become a Tiansi dedicated to the Path out of thin air - which means that he must have some great achievements that can overwhelm the impulse of this Path. . And as the son of the Pillar God, he must also be burdened with the natural evil... This is the natural evil that comes with the source of creation.

Power cannot create new power out of thin air, otherwise it means approaching infinity - that is the possibility of destroying the world through the principle of "creation".

But the world always needs a sun...

Aiwass suddenly thought of the secret of the [Sunfire] technique.

That was the ancient transmission he received from the Chenwu Tantra. Although it is called Xihuo, it is a skill that ignites one's own life force and bursts into flames.

Under Sha Shiji's persuasion, Xi Tiansi set himself on fire!

All life forms created by the Creation Source River are afraid of fire. Whether it is a beast on the path of beast, or a human on the path of love. Races such as the demons of the beyond path, the giants of the power path, and the undead of the dusk path do not have this extremely unified characteristic.

As the purest creature, He should also be the most afraid of flames.

But Xi Tiansi set himself on fire - in order to have a sun in the world, he burned his own vitality and illuminated the world with the flame he feared most. And with the sun, there will be a new civilization... This move can indeed be upgraded to an apostle or even a heavenly minister dedicated to the road.

After all, when Pillar God is on the throne, even if Tiansi has a different understanding of Yuanhe, he must follow Pillar God's path. Just like the fallen path of the Fallen Heavenly Division, it can only be interpreted in terms of "downward transcendence"; both the Winter Palace and the Lingbo Heavenly Path have the characteristic of becoming static at dusk.

According to this, the Second Sun may not necessarily belong to the path of devotion!

On the contrary, the stars——

When the sand clock has not reached the sky, are there stars in the sky?

Thinking of this, Aiwass stopped everyone's quarrel and discussion about the tentatively named "Unified Speech Device". He pulled the Drifter aside and asked, "Do you know anything about astrology?"

"Know something, Mr. Pope."

Drifter replied half proudly, half cautiously: "But it may not be very accurate."

As a "survival expert", relying on instinct to survive... Drifter must know something about this. But compared to professional prophets - and the "Fool" as an advanced prophet profession, or traditional prophetic professions such as astrologers and astrologers, his prophetic ability is definitely not that strong.

If he were outside, the wanderer would definitely brag about how accurate his predictions were.

But in front of these top players from all over the world, he became humble.

...Although this archbishop with antlers looks quite unfamiliar, not any cardinal or pope he knows, but with this kind of healing ability and this kind of erudite knowledge, he looks like a big shot somewhere. . If he predicts something wrong in front of the other party, he will not only lose face, but may even lose his life - he has this intuition.

"It's not anything complicated."

Aiwass shook his head: "Can you help me imprint the location of the stars?"

"...Oh, that's no problem."

Drifter breathed a sigh of relief: "It just takes some time...Is it okay?"

The second half of what he said was to his boss, "Master Chongbo".

Chongbo nodded: "This ruins is still very stable. We can stay here for a long time. Just be prepared... you can just take a rest here."

This can only be regarded as the basis for astrology.

Just like a priest's prayer, or a conjurer's ritual formation. After all, you can't see the stars during the day or on cloudy days. For astrologers who rely on the stars to gain insight into the heavens, it's like being banned. So astrologers will have another technique, which is to show the current position of the stars to the surroundings.

——This is the ability that Aiwass used when he helped Sherlock change his job.

He was able to use it in the first place because astrology itself was a transcendental path in ancient times.

That was part of the "Stealing Scales and Feathers" move by the Lord of Scales and Feathers - he was once the apostle of the Snake Father until he stole the scale called "The Yao of the Eight Trigrams" from the Snake Father. It is the embodiment of the power of foreknowledge.

While waiting for the star map to appear, Aiwass also made up his mind.

"Everyone, someone has to take the device away or turn it off."

Aiwass opened his mouth and said loudly: "We met by chance, and each of us has our own secrets. No one wants their secrets to be known to others, so everyone uses code names. That is to hide their names. Not even names. If you want others to know, let alone the secrets in your heart.

"But if we don't solve this problem, we will be stuck here. Of course, using spells or rituals, it may be possible to remotely destroy the device - the device that does not know the size, scale, shape, and location. But it is undoubtedly It is a waste, a blasphemy to ancient civilization and a destruction of history.

"So I plan to take advantage of everyone's time to tidy up here and go inside to search alone."

"—Take me with you."

Suddenly, Cardinal Galatea spoke.

Aiwass was a little surprised: "You're not afraid..."

...Have your secrets been exposed?

As a cardinal of the Theocracy, Cardinal Galatea has survived the longest among all cardinals. If a little secret is revealed, it will not be as simple as social death.

Cardinal Galatea just shook his head and did not reply.

...Does that mean that maybe I'm not afraid?

So Aiwass could only nod in agreement.

But at this moment, Sine suddenly threw something to Aiwass.

It was a strange rune bracer.

The moment he got it, data suddenly appeared in front of Aiwass' eyes:

【Whole World·Omniscient Hand】

[Extraordinary Equipment (Light Purple)]

[Armor - Gloves]

[Extraordinary Characteristics: Touch of Omniscient (1) (Triggered only on the path of wisdom)]

[Spell: Whisper of the whole world/announcement of the whole world (four times a day)]

[Required: Wind 1]

[“——The biggest significance of it is probably the free speakers four times a day.”]

The moment he got it, Aiwass looked at Sine in surprise.

This is a very famous set piece for mages - the effect of omniscient touch is very useful, and it is also called "spell counterattack". As long as you also master the spell used by the enemy, then when this spell hits you, there is about a 10% chance that it will be invalidated and stored in the gloves. Then you can cast this spell instantly without chanting and only provide mana. After the spell is used, Touch of Omniscient can store another spell.

The effect of this ability cannot be said to be useless...occasionally it can turn defeat into victory.

But its real claim to fame is that it has free speakers four times a day. Therefore, this thing is also called the "merchant's hand". The merchant world always needs to buy one of these things. You can save a lot of money by accumulating a little every day.

"My teacher gave this to me before I left."

Sine said seriously: "It has a constant spell called 'Worldwide Whisper'. Even if you are teleported to other places, you can contact us at any time as long as you are still in the material world. You will not get lost."

"Why don't you give me this good thing!"

The vagabond who was writing on the wall with his fingers said dissatisfiedly: "How will you find the way without me!"

The white-bearded old mage didn't even look at Drifter, but said seriously: "You are the absolute core of our team... Please protect yourself."

"I will, thanks."

Aiwass nodded, put the wristband on his hand, and added by the way: "I will return it to you when I come back."

This thing does not mean much to Aiwass, and its value is also not very great - but as a gift from Teacher Sine, Aiwass is determined not to lose or damage it.

Immediately afterwards, Aiwass led Cardinal Galatea forward.

And his voice echoed throughout the world simultaneously:

[Hey...Why is Cardinal Galatea silent? How did she block her thoughts? 】

Just the first sentence surprised everyone.

--What?

Is that a cardinal? !

That, that... Mr. "Pope", could it be——

【Why? There's really no sound? Is your mind going blank? Let me try... Shylock's profession is... Holy Tree No. 1 is so delicious... Mithraism...]

When Aiwass tried hard to block the thoughts in his mind, countless distracting thoughts became clear.

[Tsk...it doesn't seem to work. Strange, then why didn't Galatea make any sound... Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? 】

"You can hear it."

Cardinal Galatea said calmly: "Because this thing is ineffective for me."

"……invalid?"

【Why? Because she is a star crystal person? Speaking of which, the Star Crystal People seem to be the slave race of the "Atlanteans"... I remember that the souls of the Atlanteans were stored in crystals and then implanted into replaceable constructs. Sounds like a fearlessness...]

[But what are the Atlanteans like? Cardinal Galatea is so beautiful, does it mean that the aesthetics of the Atlanteans are at least correct? 】

"Thanks."

Cardinal Galatea nodded, feeling unhesitatingly proud of Aiwass's praise of her beauty: "Atlantis is the 'scaled one'."

"The one with scales..."

【Fishman? Mermaid? Siren? Kraken? Those with scales, those with wings...Yitiansi...Yuantiansi...]

When Aiwass was deep in thought, his mind suddenly jumped.

At this time, he had already entered the most central house.

There was no doorknob on the door here, which puzzled Aiwass.

[How do I open the door... put my hand here? Authentication? So high-tech? Palmprint or biometrics? I remember that the Theocracy seems to have similar technology...]

While Aiwass was thinking about it, he put his palm to an area of ​​different colors in front of the door.

But at this moment, the front of him suddenly distorted for a moment.

The next moment, the space cracked.

In front of everyone, Aiwass and Cardinal Galatea suddenly disappeared!

Aiwass opened his eyes after a brief dizziness. But I found that the surrounding environment had completely changed——

The surrounding environment suddenly became gloomy, like an underground castle.

But Aiwass felt that his mind suddenly woke up - he would no longer hear the "inner words" echoing in his ears. That strange and weird feeling is like turning on the microphone monitoring mode of the headphones. Every time I say a word, my own voice will be heard in the headphones, which will make me feel like I don't dare to speak.

Although he arrived in a strange new place, Aiwass did not panic at all.

——Because he knows everyone here.

Nine metal cylinders with etched patterns, burning blood and fire on the top, and a pool of blood below. The blood sucked upwards from below, passing through the lines on the tree-like metal cylinder, and slowly flowing upwards.

On each pillar was a naked man tied with chains.

They all looked dying, but all of them were still alive.

Extremely complex runes were carved with blood on the ground, and each rune spread from bottom to top to the abdomens of the nine sacrifices.

A man wearing aristocratic clothing in the style of the Herasl Empire was facing away from Aiwass and Cardinal Galatea. He seemed to be praying with his eyes closed, or he seemed to be concentrating with his eyes closed. There was a huge black coffin lying in front of him, and the runes also spread to the coffin.

He heard the sound and turned around. His face was gloomy and his pupils were scarlet.

"Who are you?"

The middle-aged man asked calmly and gracefully: "Where are my guards?"

Hanging on his chest was a black crystal cross that Aiwas was very familiar with, and he was wearing a gold and red aristocratic dress.

When he asked this question, Aiwass's right eye clearly saw the power of the path of love around him gathering crazily towards him——

At this time, Aiwass's wrist guard vibrated, and intermittent wind sounds suddenly came from his ears:

That's a sine sound!

[Pope...Sir, there is no need to panic...the two ruins overlapped, you just fell into another ruins...Master Dürer...will recall you soon...]

...No, no need to.

There is no need to call me back in such a hurry.

Because Aiwass recognized this copy at a glance.

Such an iconic blood pool, nine iron pillars, black coffin... This is the replica of the ruins of Narcissus Territory with the Evil Blood Angel!

And this copy has a special feature.

There is no Moon Child in it, but it will drop the last component of the Sashata - [Presentation of Dancing Feet].

——The man in front of you, who you can tell at a glance is the Son of the Moon, should be the "material" for the "Dirty Blood Angel" who loses his mind in the future!
