Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 47 Shipped!
Glass Isle, White Queen.

On the second floor of the pure white Brown Hotel, a well-dressed and well-mannered young gentleman is eating a freshly fried steak in his room.

And at his table was standing a maid in soul state.She has a pure white translucent spiritual body, and she looks like she is only seventeen or eighteen years old. She is dressed similarly to "Fox", and they are all white priest robes without the crown.Only her spine is solid, so the pale color of her spine can barely be seen through her translucent white body.

Suddenly, the girl leaned over and said something in the gentleman's ear.The mouth was moving, but no sound came out.

The gentleman seemed to hear something.Frowning, he took out the pure gold pocket watch inlaid with gemstones from his pocket, and opened it.

"It's almost over."

He glanced at the time and put it away, then stuffed the remaining small piece of steak into his mouth.

He chewed with all his strength, and the gravy continued to leach out.Some chewy tendons made a creaking sound.But because of his good teeth, he still chewed the meat and swallowed it.

The young gentleman was a little satisfied, but also a little reluctant and murmured in a low voice: "I really can't bear to have such a young and healthy body..."

at the same time.

In the gentleman's downstairs room, there was a maid who was cleaning the room slowly, and the maid who looked like a newsboy sighed worriedly.

"It's finally coming to an end... It's really torture. It's too scary."

And Sherlock, who was hiding in the abandoned chemical plant with Lulu, had nothing in common with Her Royal Highness.So there was a polite and somewhat awkward silence.

He focused on the sun rising to the highest point in the sky, and suddenly said: "It's almost time."

"what?"

Lulu, who was holding the child, asked subconsciously, and then she reacted immediately and became more energetic: "Is the ceremony about to end?"

"There are four survivors. Those two survived until the end."

Sherlock whispered: "'Bone Carving'... Lars Graham? I will investigate him."

"If not—don't say I said it!"

Lulu whispered nervously.

The newsboy sighed.

"My respected princess," he said lazily, "normally, even if I tell him, he won't know it's you. I know 'Lulu', not 'Isabelle du Lac '."

"... Huh?" Lulu, who was suddenly told her real name and tried her best to play "Anne Alexander", opened her eyes wide.

"Master Yanis is too irresponsible. Although there will be no punishment for failure in the first step-up ceremony, given your dignity, you are not afraid of being penetrated into reality. But some common sense things, I think Teach it ahead of time, though. Not all setbacks are worthwhile—especially if you’ve had a lot of setbacks."

The newsboy pulled his newsboy cap, bowed his head and said in a low voice: "I will report this ceremony to Her Majesty the Queen in detail. Including the unusual difficulty of this ceremony, 'bone carving', 'knight', 'fox' and ' Coco's information, and the matter between you and Mr. Fox. Of course, it also includes the mistakes you made in this ceremony-I have all of them in my mind, exactly.

"That's all for now. But please remember... starting from the second advanced ceremony, failure and death in the ceremony will pay a small price.

"I am one of the very few transcendents of the path of wisdom in Avalon. If there is no accident, Her Majesty the Queen may entrust me to step up with you and protect you in the ceremony. I hope that you can make some corrections when we meet next time Take a look at your naive and naive bad habits."

Having said that, the newsboy stared at "Anne Alexander"'s stunned eyes and pondered for a while.

Then he added: "I will try to investigate the real identity of 'Fox' for you. But please don't expect too much, my priorities for the next period of time will be 'Sweater Brotherhood' and 'Bone Carving'. "

"...Eh? Well, thank you, Mr. Sherlock..."

Although Lulu doesn't know when she was exposed, it's not surprising that she was found out by the famous Mr. Sherlock Hermes.So she wasn't too shocked.

But when Sherlock said that she would investigate "Fox" for herself, she was still a little shy.But she didn't refuse either.

Seeing this, Sherlock sighed again.Did not say anything more.

And at this moment, a light suddenly lit up in front of everyone's eyes—that was the pure white light that burst out when the world collapsed and disintegrated.

A series of ever-changing images appeared in front of the eyes of both the dead and the living participants of the ceremony.

The young pastor with black hair and blue eyes put his hand on the back of the child's neck, and his palm was shining brightly;
The young inspector, who was seriously injured and disemboweled by an iron hook, turned his back to the fleeing civilians behind him, and the short sword in his hand, which symbolized the authority of the law, shone with pure white light, and he still stood there;
The dark green water demon's claws tightly gripped the iron hook demon, white smoke whistling out.And the Iron Hook Demon has a ferocious face, as if shouting something at the top of his voice;
A bone staff was thrown into the air and glowed with a faint yellow light, and pure white smoke was drawn out from it, wrapping the bone staff to form a translucent girl ghost with a blurred face;

The young pastor took a paper knife and slit his throat firmly and fearlessly with it;

A dark-skinned fat man with his entire head clasped by a pale and skinny right hand, the fat on his face leaked from his fingers together with his frightened and quivering eyes;
Anne Alexander hugged little Aiwass who was still sleeping in the sunset, with a sad and strong look on her face.

——The next moment, the picture in front of him, together with the whole world around him, began to be deserted.

Everything in front of him dissipated like flying sand.

The sand flew in the air and then rose against the current.And was sucked back into the body by the huge glowing hourglass.

Aiwass woke up and cleared up his complicated emotions.Decided to at least ask side-by-side questions first, without drawing conclusions.

After all, the information given in the ceremony may not be completely correct... right?
...But having said that, he actually had a similar conjecture in his heart.

This is also expected.

Aiwass sighed and looked up.I found myself back in my original "faceless priest" image, still sitting in my big scary chair.

But there was no longer darkness in front of him, nor the other eight chairs and the other eight ritual participants.

Instead, it was bright.

Just like when he first advanced, there is no bright world where there is no shadow.

A series of light curtains fell quickly in front of him, which was Aiwass' settlement points:
[Necessary tasks have been completed (points: 600)]

【Preserve Yourself: Ensure Your Own Survival (Unfinished)】

[The heart is the sanctuary: Instead of hiding in the Candlestick Cathedral, take the initiative to go to the Legal Plaza (points: 100)]

【My Unforgettable Nature: Healing the Mortals (Points: 100)】

【Once and for all: find and kill the murderer (points: 500)】

[My Favorite Jasmine: Guarantee the survival of your wife Anne Alexander (points: 500)]

[Live longer: try to live to the end as much as possible among the nine ritualists, or try to die as late as possible (points: 100)]

[The beginning of everything: find the mastermind behind the scenes (points: 1000)]

[A total of 2900 points, ranking first]

The familiar figure of the stag, as transparent and pure as a ruby, reappeared in the distance.

His blood dripped to the ground, igniting red footprints of fire.

He approached Aiwass again, and lightly licked Aiwass' cheek.

And the black thorns on His neck pierced Aiwass' cheek, leaving an invisible wound, from which black blood oozes——

Three words appeared before Aiwass' eyes again.

[Light Affinity LV1 (Blue): You were wounded by the candlestick's sin thorn, and learned a little bit of the essence of light from it. 】

Before he had time to see if there was an expansion entry in the remaining two lines, the two lines of blue and white text were completely burned by the black flames.

Two streaks of purple brilliance shone and overflowed, making heavy buzzing sounds.

This extremely familiar voice made Aiwass' eyes wide open instantly and he regained his energy.

- Shipped!

The first advance is shipped!
Still two!
...Could it be that the points ranking really determines the quality of shipments?
This is a setting that doesn't exist in the game...but it makes more sense this way.

But this looks more like a setting that should have been cut off in consideration of fairness...

Aiwass opened his eyes wide, and saw two lines of rare purple entries:

[Container of Burning and Shining (purple): Light is born from fire, and fire floats on light.Your soul is nourished by both. 】

[Light of Defilement LV1 (purple): No light is absolutely pure, just like the human heart.You try to infuse poison into your own light. 】
