Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 45 Are You Painful?are you hungry?
Aiwass returned the same way.

Over the barren hills, across the dirty river.

It took another half an hour after he arrived at the abandoned warehouse where the stones were stored... Aiwass waited for the curse.

Deep in his body, there was a sudden strong discomfort.

Just like when you have a cold and a fever, your body starts to feel cold and shakes uncontrollably.Immediately afterwards, the limbs began to become weak, the exhaled breath became hot, and the skin began to ache—that is, the subcutaneous nerves began to be damaged by the curse.

What a familiar feeling.

"...It's really slow, it's only now."

Aiwass murmured in a low voice, and the pace of advancement gradually became slow and heavy.

He felt that his eyes became red and swollen, and his brain gradually became dizzy and dull.

He laughed at himself in a low voice: "It's like dreaming back to my childhood."

This is the "curse of fever".It was the curse he had dispelled from Little Aiwass before.

It was also the curse that Aiwass had when he was a child.

It's on the same level as the "Poisonous Curse" that caused Lulu to vomit blood.It is slightly weaker than "Curse of Blood".

"...a demon scholar who specializes in the curse faction."

Aiwass knew the identity of the other party in his heart: "This doesn't look like a star person."

A demon scholar born in the stars is actually best at ritual studies.Second is demonology.

Curseology is not in the official textbook.

Because even the Star Kingdom, which allows demon scholars to exist, doesn't want anyone to be able to curse and kill their nobles and officials easily.

Hooks aren't very useful demons either.

Its intelligence is low and its attack method is single, which makes many tedious tasks unable to be handed over to the little devil; and because of its low energy level, the demon scholar cannot sign a contract with the shadow demon like Aiwass. Get attribute affinity to strengthen yourself.

Generally speaking, demon scholars sign contracts with demons stronger than themselves.Otherwise, there would be no point in selling your soul.

——Sell your soul and sign a batch of weak chickens with a temper, so why don't I just accept a hard-working disciple?

This demon scholar can use many kinds of curses proficiently, which shows that his level is definitely not low.At least there are levels above the second energy level, and even the third energy level.But the demon he contracted is obviously weak; from the fact that he always hides in the dark and never comes out to attack in person, it shows that he is probably not as good at ritual spells as Da Zi.

A demon scholar who is particularly good at cursing, that is the characteristic of the people of the desert in the east.In the high-intensity desert war for sacred water sources and oasis areas, cursers who can attack important figures of the enemy through vicious means are very important human resources.And in the desert with poor resources, it is difficult to gather enough materials for complex rituals, so ritual science has not developed among the people of the desert.

It also fits in with him working for the mastermind behind the scenes, and more in line with Jack the Ripper's claim that the Master eventually leaves Avalon for the ending east of the desert.

——The curse master from the desert came to the kingdom of Avalon.He took refuge with a certain big shot, collected money to "curse and kill on his behalf", and earned money and benefits by cursing the designated target for a fee.After making almost the same amount of money, he ran back to China.This is probably the whole picture of the truth.

...This shows that the big man is quite kind.Knowing so many of his secrets, but not being silenced, he was still allowed to leave.

Of course, it is also possible that he has been silenced.It's just that Jack doesn't know.

This iron hook demon is just a part of the mature curse ability system of the murderer behind the scenes.

After weakening the target with a curse, he teleported the Iron Hook Demon to finalize the decision.Hooked is just his ability to finish enemies, but not the core of his ability.

——It’s no wonder that he didn’t specially cultivate Iron Hook Demons.

He has knowledge about it, but he doesn't do it himself.

Because it's not necessary.

This demon was originally a tool man—it can be seen from the fact that he can give up at will to the students he just met.

Like Jack the Ripper, if you cherish this demon too much and strengthen the hook demon through rituals, you may become too famous.

Although after the Iron Hook Demon was strengthened, Jack was able to temporarily put his consciousness into the Iron Hook Demon, and use his brain to control this mentally handicapped but really fleshy little demon with high damage.

But this strengthening ritual has its own risks.

Because for a curse master, being famous is not a good thing.Just like Sherlock lifted his own curse... When a person knows that he will be cursed, then the curse will not be so terrible.Because different curses have corresponding solutions.

The existence of the curse master is not known, which is success and victory.

"Target dies by accident" is the highest compliment.

"It turns out...my biological parents died like this."

Aiwass murmured.

The increasingly serious high fever made his thinking flutter, but his memory was gradually straightened out.

Judging from the Jack the Ripper incident.In real history, there should also be this combination of curse master and iron hook demon.

Aiwass was given the "curse of fever" by him when he was a child, which caused him to faint and lose consciousness.So I don't remember what happened next.

But as a fragile child, he suddenly lost consciousness due to a high fever attack, but he did not die because of it-this can only have one answer, that is, his curse was dispelled.

The difference is that it should not be Julio who dispelled the curse, but Bishop Mathers.

In the real history, he will not be banned because the level exceeds this copy too much, and Julio can get in touch with Mathers.

This also explains why Mathers is so concerned about Aiwass, and why he was so enthusiastic when they first met... even willing to lend him the key of the chapel.He said it was to give back to Professor Moriarty for his help, but I'm afraid the real reason should be Julio.

When they met for the first time, he recognized Aiwass as the child of his student Julio Alexander.Because Aiwass has obvious traces of "Julio" and "Anne".

He felt remorse and grief for not saving his students back then.In order not to repeat the same mistakes, he made up his mind to protect Aiwass at all costs.

From his attitude, Aiwass can judge in the opposite direction—it is precisely because Bishop Mathers thought he could solve this incident, but he didn't finish it in the end, so he regretted so much.

Combined with the requirements of this task.

They need to leave the cathedral and go to Legal Place.

——This place name cannot appear out of thin air.And it can't be where the curser is located in the first place, because there is no room for a complicated ceremony table; then this can only be a place related to the death of Aiwass' biological parents.

In other words, after Julio's curse on Aiwass was dispelled, he chose to go to Legal Plaza for some reason.

At this time, Aiwass had already fallen asleep, so he didn't know what happened next.

The story in the future should be the same as the story happening now.

The difference is probably that other ceremony participants who have nothing to do with the Aiwass family were not cursed by the curse master—just like Annie, in the correct history, cannot be a transcendent of the path of beauty; of course Nor will there be a newsboy who is a mage.In Glass Island, it is even more impossible for there to be so many transcendents of different paths.

Only the Aiwass family should be cursed.

And they may be the first to be cursed and killed, or they may be cursed together.Eventually the sleeping young Aiwass was set aside, and the two of them lured the enemy away.

This shows one thing.The murderer wasn't going to kill Aiwass or his cousin at all—his target was Julio or Anne, so Aiwass survived and was sent to the orphanage safely.

Now there is only one problem.

——Why on earth did he kill his parents?
"It seems that I can only ask in person..."

Aiwass murmured in a low voice, his lowered eyes became gloomy: "I didn't plan to do this at first.

"But you're so incompetent.

"It's really bothering me. I gave you so much time, but it was almost the end of the ceremony before I started cursing me..."

——Could it be that he is still trying to kill the bone carving?
He stared intently at the corner of the abandoned stone warehouse.There are traces of crimson gathering there.

The red and terrifying outline of the Iron Hook Demon has partially appeared, and Aiwass saw that it was showing a ferocious smile full of murderous intent towards him, and its four arms held slender iron hooks, which were enough to tear apart the body easily.

And it has obvious frostbite and frost on its body, which is the trace of being injured by the ability of the Dusk Road.

"Ah, hello. Son..."

Aiwass greeted it politely, without any fear or disgust.

He asked slowly, "Are you in pain?

"are you hungry?"

Without waiting for the Iron Hook Demon to fully appear, and without waiting for it to respond, Aiwass quickly pulled out the paper cutter.

Taking the first step, he inserted his backhand into his neck!

—Blood gushing!
