Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 87 Madam Mina's Divination Shop
This afternoon's course is one of the few professional courses that the Seminary can access in the freshman year.

Therefore, Aiwass and Lily did not wear the usual blue and white school uniforms, but changed into the school uniforms exclusive to the seminary.That is, the set of white robes with the same appearance and function as the priest's uniform except that there is no holy order marked on it.

——Because this course is called [Prayer Science].

It mainly teaches the etiquette and procedures for issuing different prayers to the Nine Pillars based on different purposes and needs, on different occasions, and using different materials.

Scriptures, prayers, sacrifices, rituals, taboos...

There is no difficulty in this course, the only difficulty is a lot of recitation.Because of the large amount of recitation, this course can only be finished from the first semester of the freshman year to the third semester of the sophomore year.

At that time, Bishop Mathers did not teach Aiwass the sacred art of "prayer" because it was impossible to teach this art.The main reason for the existence of the seminary is to spend two years concentrating on teaching these preparatory pastors how to pray to the Nine Pillars God—in addition to the effect of restoring mana, some ritual magic can also be used through prayer.

Although the priests are mainly attached to the candlestick masters, they are priests who serve the Nine Pillars God at the same time after all.In other words, the beliefs, inheritance and etiquette of the other eight pillar gods also need to be understood and taken care of.During other festivals related to the pillar gods, priests will also change into their clothes and hold corresponding ceremonies.

Because of this, the pastor is the first occupation on the Nine Dao Road to get in-depth knowledge of other roads.

And the lecturer of this course, "Ms. Meiya", looks quite young.

She has curly dark brown hair tied in a ponytail and draped over one shoulder.She was wearing the same red bishop's robe as Bishop Mathers, and her pupils were light blue as warm as water.

Although she asked her students to call her "Madam," she looked like she was in her 20s.The lively and cheerful temperament on her body not only makes the students like it very much, but also makes her look much smaller.

Even compared to Lily, who has a quiet temperament and always smiles like a big sister, Ms. Maya looks younger.

Students also like this young lecturer who is nominally a lecturer, but more like a senior.

But only Aiwass knows... If nothing else happens, this should be the rejuvenation brought about by the "Fire Sacrifice".

She should really be a "lady," who was married and even had children.It's just that the sacrificial fire can restore her body to its ideal state, and restore the pain and aging she has suffered.Let her return to the young body of her girlhood... and after her body recovered, her mental state and character also recovered.

"……what?"

When she saw Lily pushing Aiwass into the classroom for the first time, Ms. Maya stared at him in a daze.

Seeing this, the blue-haired girl passing by Aiwass smiled and explained for him: "This is Aiwass, Ms. Maya. Did you read the "Glass Steps" the day before yesterday? He is the big detective~
"Ms. Aiwass' legs and feet are not very good, so he has to use a wheelchair. How about...you can diagnose him for him?"

"That shouldn't be necessary, Angela..."

Ms. Maya shook her head: "Sit in your seat first."

——How can he use me for diagnosis?If it could be cured, wouldn't it be enough for him to use sacrificial fire himself?
Meia glanced at Aiwass again in a strange manner, and politely performed a strange courtesy to him: Meia stretched out her hand, tapped once on her head and shoulders, and drew a triangle.

And Aiwass just smiled gently, put his hands together, crossed his thumbs, bowed his head and closed his eyes in prayer.

Seeing this, Meiya's attitude towards Aiwass became obviously better.

——This is the etiquette that Bishop Mathers specially taught to Aiwass after he discovered that he quickly learned the method of sacrificial fire and came into contact with the way of devotion.

When transcendents of the same path are close enough, the superior can sense the breath of the path and the general intensity of the inferior.That is to say, all the extraordinary people on the path of dedication in the school can perceive that Aiwass has stepped into the extraordinary, and have completed an advanced ceremony to reach the second energy level.

This is basically the graduation standard.

And the hand gestures that Mathers taught Aiwass were code words used by the priests of the Nine Pillars Church to identify each other.This is so that Aiwass will not be treated differently when he returns to school.

Ms. Maya's gesture, which means that she has served the church and has a bishop's crown.

This is what she was asking Aiwass, who guided you to obtain your path of devotion?
After all, not all pastors come from seminaries.

How many people can graduate from a seminary in one year... Many township churches have a master-apprentice succession system.I taught him by hand from a very young age, and after I learned it, I automatically joined the church.As long as you are a "bishop", you have the right to preach and teach the sacred skills of those who are qualified for the path of dedication.

And there is another possibility that there is no one to teach.He became self-taught only by relying on mystical classics, and embarked on this path after comprehending the mysterious skills of the path of dedication.In this case, his occupation may not even be "priest".Ms. Maya may not have been so kind to Aiwass.

Because it means obtaining the extraordinary power of the corresponding path, and enjoying the social status of the corresponding path, but not fulfilling obligations or following the rules.

— as if someone had acquired the mystical arts of the Authoritarian Path through an Authoritarian Path tantra, or some other type of occult tome.Then the high-ranking supervisor might mistake him for one of his own, because he sensed the aura of authoritarianism from this person.This may lead to "fake supervisors" and "fake pastors".

And there is a more serious problem, that is, the same path can only be stepped on once.As long as one obtains an extraordinary profession from a certain path, one can only "advance" and cannot turn back—if Aiwass obtains other professions dedicated to the path, he will definitely not be able to become a priest.According to the rules of the church, the "sacred skills" carefully selected by the church cannot be easily leaked.

If Aiwass was led through the door, he would definitely be able to understand Ms. Maya's code words.

And Aiwass' gesture in response means that he is now just a "prayer"-he has not received the crown, has no teaching position, and is not currently working for the church, but someone has taught him.

It doesn't matter.Whether she works for the church or not, Meia doesn't care.As long as it's not another career on the same path, it's fine.

Maya was ashamed of her subconscious doubts, so she said caringly: "You can sit next to me, Mr. Aiwass. It is not convenient for a wheelchair to go up the stairs."

"That would be troublesome."

Aiwass said softly: "Ms. Maya."

While waiting for other students, Meiya sat on her chair and chatted with Aiwass in a low voice: "I heard about the case you solved, and I thought you had already entered the path of wisdom... ...Unexpectedly, you are actually a priest. And you have stepped into the second energy level at a young age...

"I don't know which bishop guided you?"

"It's Bishop Mathers." Aiwass replied.

Hearing this, Meiya suddenly opened her eyes wide with disbelief: "Eh? Mathers?"

"what happened?"

Aiwass caught an anomaly in her emotions.

"Samuel Mathers?" she asked rhetorically.

"correct."

Aiwass realized that Bishop Maya might know Mathers, so he asked, "Do you know him?"

Meiya hissed, her expression became a little subtle.

She glanced at the students secretly, and found that the students were all quietly watching and paying close attention to the movement on the podium - they seemed to have gotten used to following Aiwass to eat melons.

So Meiya lowered her voice and covered her mouth with her hands.

"My name is Maya Mathers. He is my brother."

...that's not good.

Aiwass' expression also became a little weird.

Although Maya didn't know it, Aiwass knew it himself - Mathers taught him the sacred skills in fact last Friday.The day after that was NO.15, which means that Aiwass advanced immediately after he advanced.

This is too shocking!

It's okay, it's just too loud.

Although not many people may believe this... But Aiwass still likes to keep a low profile.

But fortunately, Meiya gave an answer that made Aiwass heave a sigh of relief:
"—but he and I have been falling apart for a long time, because of his relationship problems. I haven't talked to him for ten years."

She said it was a breakdown, but she obviously became closer to Aiwass because he was Samuel's apprentice.

How could this be a crash?It might be better to say that I am playing a prank...

"...So, why?" Aiwass was a little curious.

A little desire to gossip also rose in his heart: "What's wrong with Bishop?"

"That day Samuel brought back a girl who was 11 years younger than him and said that this was his wife and they were married."

Maya frowned: "Samuel was 29 at the time, and the girl was only 18."

"I remember that Bishop Samuel is from Avalon, right?"

Aiwass asked: "Girls should be able to get married at the age of 18, right?"

"Yes, men and women can get married. The question is... If most people want to get married, they must have been in love for many years, right? That girl only got married when she got married, so when did Samuel know her?"

When Meiya said this, she gritted her teeth and patted the table angrily: "He also said that he had just met her not long ago, and it was love at first sight! Do you think I will believe it? Should my parents believe it?"

"...It's not impossible at all, is it?"

Aiwass' expression was a little subtle.It seems that there is no concept of "flash marriage" in this era.

But in this way, Samuel is indeed a little suspicious...

But soon, Meia's words made Aiwass a little serious: "Of course, there is a possibility of love at first sight. But the problem is, we asked detectives to investigate later - she is not from Avalon.

"She is an iris flower person, and she is the way of beauty in the end. At that time, the sixth department of the Royal Law University had not yet opened, and an iris flower person did not study at the University of Cité in her own country, but traveled thousands of miles to Avalon. He studied theology, and then followed the path of beauty. And when he was just in the first grade, he married his tutor.

"—do you think this is reasonable? You don't even need to think about it, it's weird no matter how you look at it!"

"...It's really unreasonable."

Aiwass frowned, and realized something was wrong: "But Bishop Samuel is not such an impulsive person..."

"That's right! That's what we all say."

Meiya whispered: "So we kept telling Samuel, let him calm down and say goodbye to that girl for a while! But he didn't listen at all, and eventually he moved out of the house and rented a house outside. But before A few days ago, I heard that he was elected as a spiritual member, at least I don’t have to worry about his life..."

"What's the name of his wife?" Aiwass asked.

"Mina. I forgot her previous surname. Her name should be Mina Mathers now... Do the math, she should be 35 years old this year.

"She is running a divination shop, selling divination props, and divination for others. But she is not a prophet who adapts to the path, what kind of divination ability does she have? She is just a liar...I really don't know why Samuel likes her so much.

"Whenever you are free, you may wish to visit his house. After all, you have a mentor-apprentice relationship, and it is normal to visit a mentor. You just mentioned it so suddenly, and now I am a little bit curious about that woman now It's..."

Meia clasped her hands together and whispered to Aiwass, "Mr. Aiwass, please help! I have a collection of tantric books on the path of dedication that I like very much, and I can give it to you when the time comes...Of course, if It doesn't matter if you don't have a chance. As long as you try to ask my brother, I'll give you the book—"

But when Meiya said this, Aiwass' pupils trembled suddenly.

Not for the reward.

But because when he heard the name, he suddenly thought of one thing.

——The name of the shopping mall in the game is "Mrs. Mina's Divination Shop".

Aiwass will never forget this name.He believes that if he is a player, he will never forget.

...That's one thing to say, if I have a chance, I have to take a look.
