Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 306 Aiwass’ Death Card

"A haunted hotel?"

The pastor held the bread in both hands and fell into deep thought: "I seem to have some impression, let me think about it..."

Aiwass, who asked the question, sat quietly drinking tea.

As the only pastor in Yingjia Village, the pastor's family is relatively wealthy.At least the quality of the tea he served to his guests was quite good.Although it is not as good as the tea Aiwass drank on the Glass Island, it can still be called a good product.

The old pastor served Aiwass and their breakfast also tasted very good - pork with some fat, stewed with tomatoes, sugar, beer and butter, and then ground into a meat sauce.Then put this meat sauce in the bread... Even though it is yesterday's overnight bread, it has been re-baked.The flour used to make the bread is not that fine, and it cannot be called soft and sweet, but the warm coarse grain toast can still smell a rich aroma of wheat.

Rounding it all off, it may also be regarded as a kind of meat sandwich with tomato sauce.

The way of eating is buffet style.Prepare the bread and pate and spread it on yourself.

Perhaps because the food was quite hot, it tasted surprisingly good, at least better than the sandwiches sold on the streets of Glass Island.Even Sherlock took a few extra slices.

Now Aiwass and Sherlock are full, while Lily is just having a taste.Now waiting for Haina to finish eating.

Haina quickly ignored the anomaly that had frightened her before, and happily introduced it to Aiwass: "This is my favorite food when I was a child!

"Although I don't know if this dish is available outside or what it's called, we kids like to call it 'Bishop's Bread' because some people say it's what the bishops eat. They have to put a layer on it when they eat it. Butter, and milky white bread..."

As she said this, she couldn't help but laugh: "Of course, it's all just guessing by the children."

Because she suddenly realized in the middle of her sentence that three of the four people present often had breakfast at the bishop's house.

"...Is that what you call it?"

The old priest couldn't help but laugh: "My father taught me this. It is true that I learned the craft from the Glass Island, but it has nothing to do with the bishop - this was when my father went to the Glass Island to get the religious crown. A kind of meat sauce that he had eaten at the hotel where he was staying. He thought the meat sauce tasted very good. My father asked for the recipe, but the chef didn't tell us.

"So after my father came home, he tried it many times based on his impressions. Although he still couldn't find the recipe for the meat sauce, he accidentally created a new meat sauce. Later, the method was fixed.

"If anything, it should be called 'Eagle Point Meat Sauce'."

It seems that talking about things from the past awakens memories.When the old priest said this, he suddenly clapped his hands and remembered something: "I may have remembered the haunted hotel you mentioned...but it seems to have been a long, long time ago. It should have been when I was a child."

Aiwass nodded: "It should have been about 60 years ago. Because it is 'haunted', I think you may know."

Because Aiwass had seen the familiar sapphire-like lake before from the first level of dreams in the advancement ceremony.That is the famous Sapphire Lake in Bagpipe Town.

The haunted hotel seemed to be halfway up the mountain.From the window, you can also vaguely see the circular village at the foot of the mountain.

Aiwass made a mistake then.

One of the reasons he thought that level was still a dream was because there had been no damage to the forest after the storm.

After a normal storm, there should be branches, broken wood, trash, and dead animals everywhere.He thought it was because Daya lacked life experience and lacked enough imagination about storms.

But now it seems...Although Aiwass got the result right at the time, the process was wrong.

—The reason forests remain unscathed after storms is because they actually emerge from the storm intact.

Yingjia Village is called Yingjia Village because it is sandwiched between a low mountain and a high mountain, and Bagpipe Town is at the foot of one of the mountains.From Yingjia Village to Bagpipe Town, they had to go up the mountain first and then down the mountain - of course there was no need to climb over from the highest point. The maximum height in the dense forest where they entered the village was only one third of the top of the mountain.

The entire Yingjia Village is located in the basin, connected to two lakes and a swamp.This is the connection between the two mountains.Logically speaking, such terrain is easily flooded by heavy rains.

So when Aiwass saw that the village at the foot of the mountain was safe and sound, he immediately judged that it was a fake.

...But now it seems that Daya is right.

Aiwass laughed at her for not understanding Storm, and she laughed at Aiwass for not understanding Eagle Point Village.She had probably seen a storm from here, so she was deeply impressed by that scene.

And since Sapphire Lake and Eagle Point Village can be clearly seen from the Haunted Inn, but the other side of the lake cannot be seen, it means that it must be on the mountainside of one of the two mountains.And it is facing the direction of another mountain.

In other words, it must be very close to Eagle Point Village.

Sure enough, the old pastor quickly remembered. "That's the hotel in Alder Town to the south. Going directly there requires passing through the swamp, so we usually don't go that way."

He smiled bitterly: "As for driving away the undead... we can't do that. The undead there are earth-bound spirits. Let alone my father and I, even a bishop can't solve it."

"Then let it go?"

Sherlock takes full advantage of his appearance and speaks his mind.

"It's still under some control," the pastor affirmed. "The priest of Alder Town has sealed the inn.

"Because if you just demolish the inn, it might make the earthbound spirit go crazy; but if you don't leave it alone, it will seduce people passing by. So the priest sealed the inn, blocked the road, and moved it to a far away place - the earth Warning signs have been placed where the ghost-binding hallucinations cannot affect you. There are people guarding the front, and there are roadblocks in the middle... No one will pass by that way."

"...It's really a simple and crude way to deal with it."

Haina was a little embarrassed: "Is it okay to just put it there?"

The old priest didn't care, and chuckled: "You are still too young, little Haina. Extraordinary skills are not everything, nor are they necessary. Problems that can be solved by simple methods do not necessarily need to be solved by extraordinary skills.

"The Earthbound Spirit must eat people to maintain its existence, but it cannot leave its home. Then we don't need to sacrifice multiple priests to defeat the opponent head-on - in a sense, the Earthbound Spirit is harmless. We just need Isolate it to a place where it cannot come into contact with living people, and it will slowly dissipate on its own.

"And to do this kind of thing, you don't need any magic, magic, or rituals at all. You just need a sign and a few roadblocks. As far as I know, except for some wanted criminals who occasionally escape in a panic, I really haven’t heard of many people missing around there. This shows that the effect is pretty good.”

The old pastor took a bite of the bread very proudly and said with a smile: "This is your wisdom."

After breakfast, Aiwass asked the old priest for the direction of the hotel and planned to leave.

Haina seemed to be very concerned about where the dagger was thrown...but Aiwass thought that it might still be on Haina, otherwise it fell into Vivian's hands.No matter what the situation is, you won't be able to get it back anytime soon, so just pretend it doesn't exist.

Haina and Lily went to prepare the ritual materials that several people would use tonight.

Aiwass and Sherlock planned to visit the hotel.

Originally, Aiwass planned to go and see it by himself, but Sherlock also asked to follow.Naturally, Aiwass accepts everyone who comes.

He didn't want to hide his card-making ability - or in other words, when Aiwass took out more and more cards, it would be exposed sooner or later.As long as those who know the truth are fine.

And Sherlock is obviously the trustworthy side.

The Earthbound Spirit is a phantom with dual attributes of earth and darkness.On the one hand, she is an undead without bones, which can be regarded as the second stage of the undead; on the other hand, her abilities are very similar to those of the Dream Demon.

There are two cards that can be used to seal the Earthbound Spirit, [Death] and [Tower].

Aiwass plans to use the Death card here.

Because the Death Card belongs to the realm of amber, it can be made and summoned without using earth attribute mana - instead, it can use dark attribute mana.

So Aiwass took out his own Tarot card and found the Death card.

A layer of benzoin resin was brushed on it, and after it dried, it was buried with grave soil.Then keep it in this state and seal it in a small box... This is considered ready.

He has also prepared the materials to seal the Earthbound Spirit - much cheaper than the materials needed by Shadow Demon.Its core materials are a handful of grave soil, some benzoin resin, and a piece of amber.For the remaining materials, you can use any items with twilight properties such as shrouds and coffin fragments to get enough properties.Just be careful not to use living animals or the same kind as sacrifices.

On the Glass Island, he might have to buy some coffin boards and burn them into ashes.

But this requirement is very easy to achieve in Yingjia Village.

Aiwass went straight to the swamp and filtered some murky water from it.After using the ritual to test it, he found that this stuff was indeed usable and extremely pure... So Aiwass simply took out several more bottles, preserved them, and put them in Lily's backpack.

After that, Aiwass took Sherlock and flew to Alder Town in the south on Lizzie the Griffin.

　update completed!
　　Suddenly I discovered that Amu already had 100 million! (tremor)
　　When this book was opened, the plan was to be similar to the game player, with around 350 million divided into three volumes, which is almost a third...
