Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 102 Is it open?
When Aiwass saw Bishop Mathers again, he couldn't help but feel astonished at his youth.

Bishop Mathers did not wear the red bishop's robe today, but a thick off-white wool shirt with elbow pads.

With his curly dark brown hair, amber eyes, eyes and smile full of vitality and confidence, he is a young man in his 30s with a successful career.

Aiwass was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that this was the real appearance that Bishop Mathers showed to himself after teaching Aiwass the Fire Sacrifice.

It’s just that when they met for the first time, the “old bishop” who looked extremely aging left a deep impression on Aiwass... He even forgot that the aging appearance was deliberately created by Bishop Mathers. Show Aiwass the method of sacrificial fire.When Mathers is mentioned, he will unconsciously think of "that old bishop".

Recalling Ms. Maya's appearance, Aiwass realized that Bishop Mathers and Ms. Maya were indeed brothers and sisters.They do look somewhat similar.

Bishop Mathers is 46 years old this year, so I'm afraid Ms. Maya is not too young...

And the moment he opened the door and saw Aiwass, Bishop Mathers was obviously taken aback.He obviously sensed the depth of Aiwass' path.

"...It's really the second energy level."

Bishop Mathers opened his eyes wide, looked at it hesitantly for a long time, and finally sighed in a low voice.

He taught Aiwass four sacred skills last week, and witnessed him stepping into the path of dedication.

Although it is very scary to advance to the second energy level in a week, the efficiency is actually understandable.

After all, Aiwass' talent is quite good, and he mastered the technique of "sacrificing fire" in an instant.As long as he goes back to practice a little bit, and then figure out the "blessing", he can be promoted to the second level.

But the time of the last promotion ceremony was only the second day after Bishop Mathers taught him the sacred skills.

In other words, Aiwass completed the advancement in only one day.

Taking into account the materials and procedures of the advanced ceremony, it still needs to be prepared in advance.Probably Aiwass took much less time than that.

"Unbelievable, really unbelievable..."

"It can only be said that I am very talented."

Aiwass laughed.

Mathers shook his head again and again, speechless.

Mathers immediately recognized the "red sword" when he saw the news in the newspaper.His first reaction was to wonder if Aiwass had already stepped onto the path of transcendence and obtained enough fire attribute mana pools through other professions.That's why he has the mana to drive the key and use the "Holy Sword Art" sealed inside.

Bishop Mathers lent the key of the chapel to Aiwass at that time, just wanting to use its "flame infusion" effect to make Aiwass self-defense-it only needs a minimum mana to arouse the flaming blade, and it looks like It still looks very intimidating.He didn't even explain the effect of the holy sword technique that could only be used once a month to Aiwass.

Because the priest of the first energy level, it is impossible to use the holy sword technique anyway.

So after seeing the news, Mathers' first reaction was to suspect that he had been deceived... He was even a little angry.I was planning to ask Aiwass for an explanation today.

But after seeing Aiwass with his own eyes, he realized that he had indeed misunderstood him.

...It's a good thing he hasn't explained to Sherlock or Mina why he's angry.Originally, he planned to ask Aiwass in front of them after Aiwass arrived... Fortunately, he was calm enough to not make a joke.

Otherwise, if this matter spreads to the family, my parents and Meiya will laugh at me.

But Mathers still felt a little incomprehensible.

——How can someone in this world really advance to the next level in just one day?
"...you boy."

Many complicated thoughts were entwined in his mouth, and Mathers couldn't speak out or swallow them down. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly: "You actually pretended that you didn't learn the blessing technique at that time, right?"

"Yes, Bishop Mathers."

Of course Aiwass knew what Mathers was thinking.

He didn't expose it, but just smiled and said softly: "The first time I came into contact with extraordinary power, I immediately learned the four sacred skills of the church-this is too shocking to spread, and it may cause unnecessary trouble.

"You taught me the sacred skills in advance because of the troubles that entangled me. Since it is for this purpose, I think I should cause as little trouble as possible... When I first learned the 'Sacrificial Fire', your The reaction made me realize that I was abnormal—so I purposely didn't show my blessing afterward. But I had already learned it."

Yes, I opened it - refers to the plug-in.His talent is very strong, but it's true that he can't learn to sacrifice fire in an instant.That is a miracle achieved by relying on the power of "experience".

But when it’s on, it’s on?
Is the experience not my own? !

Oh, I'm the head grabber.That's fine.

"...you are correct, Aiwass."

Mathers sighed, and took Lily and Aiwass to the living room: "If someone had told me that someone could learn the blessing technique in one day, I would have thought he hadn't woken up.

"Do you know that your mastery of the blessing technique is already faster than that of the Eternal Pope. If you showed this talent that day, I'm afraid I'll transfer you directly to the Holy Kingdom... because I have no choice but to leave you or not." Power can decide things. The Pope may personally write a letter to find His Majesty's dignitaries."

Sacrificial fire is nothing more than blessing, but blessing is the most difficult of all sacred skills.Many apprentice pastors are stuck on this one.Four years of university may not be able to understand it, and it may not be able to advance to the second level, so it is impossible to enter the church and get a teaching title.

It also took Mathers a week to master the blessing technique, and this was already the fastest among the priests he knew.

It's ridiculous.He used to think he was a genius, but now it seems that he is just sitting on the sky.

"No wonder, those demon scholars came here to catch you."

Mathers couldn't help sighing: "Your talent has reached this level, it is no longer normal. I feel that you may have been blessed by an apostle who is the candlekeeper... There was a lot of noise in that ceremony, as if The superior demon was summoned, and the Supervisory Bureau did not find that demon in the end—looking back now, it should be the freak that attacked you this time.

"I was wondering at the time... You were not a voluntary sacrifice. If you were forcibly captured and sacrificed, why would you be able to summon a demon of this size? But now it seems that all of this is very reasonable."

Mathers could only seriously remind him: "Be careful, Aiwass. Too fast advancement is not necessarily a good thing.

"The higher the energy level, the stronger the call from the path, and the more paranoid people will become.

"We do have to walk in the way of dedication, but I actually think... we still have to keep our hearts. We must always leave some room, and don't try our best to force promotion-in that case, there may be no extra energy to fight against the way. The way itself is affected."

The young pastor with dark brown curly hair was a little helpless: "This is what I planned to tell you when you were promoted to the third energy level, so that you can be promoted to the fourth energy level later. Stabilize yourself again Realm, make more preparations.

"On the one hand, it's because the third promotion ceremony has become more difficult, and on the other hand, it's because the fourth energy level is about to prepare for advanced careers. And from the fourth energy level, the Nine Great Paths begin to have a significant impact on the mind. affected."

"Bishop Mathers," Aiwass also asked curiously, "Are you a superhuman of the fifth energy level?"

"Actually, I am only the 'Guardian of the Holy Sepulchre' of the fourth energy level now, but I have already reached the limit of the fourth energy level before I was 30 years old. That's why the Theocracy gave me the Candle Cathedral... At that time , your biological father is one of my students."

When Mathers said this, he paused for a moment before continuing.

"In fact, I have always had a point of view. Of course, you don't have to listen," Mathers said softly, "As we all know, if your will to practice the path is not pure enough, you cannot be promoted to the fifth energy level. But I Think... if the will becomes too pure, is that still the original you?

"In the beginning, when we first embarked on the road of extraordinary, we were all just passionate young people, right? At that time, could we really have imagined that the future would become like this? Since we are all on the road of dedication You can help others no matter how far you go...so is there any point in going too far?
"I was called a genius. I thought I was that strong, that good.

"I even broke up with my parents at the time, because I thought I was right-I walked the road that they couldn't finish in a lifetime in a shorter time, and even with less effort. But they said that I was right for dedication. I have deviated from the understanding of the path, and I have deviated from the path of love. How can I believe their words?"

Mathers sighed slowly: "But I, who was so outstanding, still couldn't save your parents."

Hearing this, Aiwass perked up.

Although he was in the advanced ceremony before, he also personally witnessed another version.But the "another possibility of history" in the dream ceremony is not the real past after all, but just a stage script written by the Nine Pillars God with reference to history.

— But Mathers was the real witness.
