Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 132 This Is Not His Home

The massacre of the shadow demon did not leave the giant with a corpse that could be resurrected.

Or in other words, it swallowed all these corpses by itself.

In addition to the antlers, the monk and Hong who were resurrected by the antlers were also torn apart and swallowed by the shadow demon.

Shadow Fiend seems to be particularly good at dealing with these resurrected dead - it always accurately attacks the heart and head of these dead at the same time.Just a light penetration can kill it directly.It is as familiar and elegant as a skilled diner peeling off the crab shell.

Seeing the Shadow Fiend turning into liquid again, dripping out from the hole, and returning to the shadow pool below him, Aiwass asked curiously: "The killing and devouring you carried out in your dream, Is it real and effective 'nutrition' for you too?"

"of course."

Shadow Demon made a low and hoarse voice like a lion's growl: "It's better to say that this is food that is easier to digest.

"These lives are phantoms condensed by the power of the Pillar God. The reason why human beings can be sacrificed and food for demons is because human beings are a race directly influenced by the snake father and eternity. Just like the supreme heaven affects giants, The candlestick affects the elves, and the dusk affects the undead...Humans are born with the adaptability of the path of transcendence and love, but each person's strength is different.

"Human's desire to transcend will become the fuel and food of the devil. However, this process needs to be digested.

"These existences in the dream world, the illusory bodies you use, and other lives including giants, although they look human, they are actually real phantoms in essence... we are so weak that we have no self-awareness. Same race.

"Although this ceremony is not self-constructed by the snake father, I feel a little regretful, and swallowing them will not make me stronger... But in terms of taste, they can also be regarded as delicious little biscuits."

Aiwass understood.

This is equivalent to taking the beast of great crime to brush the dungeon, and you can increase the experience of the corresponding attribute.Phantoms can devour phantoms of the same attribute to grow.The reason why all the living creatures constructed in the dream world rituals are intelligent and able to act according to certain rules is that these "intelligent individuals" are actually a kind of phantom that mimics the corresponding individual.

Their powers are false, given temporarily by the pillar gods.

Like a ghost who doesn't know he's dead.

... No wonder the God of Nine Pillars can build various "copies" so easily. This world is not fabricated by them bit by bit, but imported directly from history in batches.

All they have to do is to extract a fragment from history: a narrow area with a duration of about a few hours and a limited scope, and then allow specific people in it to obtain temporary life and intelligence.

Because those people are just constructed "magical artificial intelligence", and the scene can also be fine-tuned.Under the interference of the Nine Pillars God, the final development may also be different from the real history.

So this is "another possibility of history".

The NPCs in those ceremonies couldn't perceive that they were in the ceremonies, so it was because they were really NPCs!In other words, they all know their NPC identities, and they are just pretending to be stupid.

Rather than saying that this is a game or a script, it is better to say that this is a ritual, an experiment, and a sandbox-by building a simulation environment, and then introducing nine variables to observe how the situation will eventually change.

Because of this, they have "import identities" and various tasks that can earn points.This is the reward mechanism to get them to act, and prevent them from doing nothing at all and wasting a simulation opportunity.

It is also possible to build a simulated environment...and then introduce people from the Nine Paths into it and filter from it.

Both are possible, the latter being more likely.

Because in terms of the two ceremonies that Aiwass currently participated in, the historical archetypes are obviously not stories in which all the nine paths can participate.

In the first ceremony, at least the "newsboy" played by Sherlock obviously shouldn't appear in real history.The same goes for the inspector played by that knight.They may have a role in history, but at most they are just a sideshow, and have nothing to do with the murder of the Alexanders.

And this second ceremony is even more obvious.

The bodies used by the nine of them should all belong to the "path of strength" fighters in real history.

Among other things, at least it is absolutely impossible for a knight of the authoritarian path to appear—because in the era when the Supreme Heaven still existed, there was no authoritarian path at all.In other words, if they really appeared in a simulated environment, then the knight's extraordinary power should be completely unusable.

It’s weird.

Jiuzhu God seems to want to do something, but he doesn't seem to care about the result so much.At least the low-level promotion ceremonies will be hosted by their apostles, which shows that they at least don't care so much about the results of the low-level promotion ceremonies.But it takes a lot of effort to make copies, write tasks...

Perhaps the correct answer can only be obtained when Aiwass is promoted to a high position and participates in the promotion ceremony hosted by the Pillar God himself.

"Are you going to find the Holy Lance now?"

Lily's voice sounded from behind Aiwass who was deep in thought: "Have we actually successfully advanced?"

"Of course," Aiwass temporarily put aside his clueless thinking, raised his head and chuckled, "I don't know the whole picture of this ceremony at all.

"If I win in such a muddleheaded way, I will be a little unwilling. The opportunities for promotion are limited. This is an opportunity to experience a certain period of history..."

"But where is the Holy Lance? We are running out of time, and a sweeping search may be too late."

"No, I know where the holy gun is."

Aiwass replied: "You have run past three storage rooms now... If my guess is correct, these three storage rooms should be in the corners, right?"

"Correct."

Lily replied: "In the three corners of the southeast and the west, we are now on the west side. The knights and the others quarreled on the south side, and me and... the place where the antlers appeared is the east side."

Aiwass analyzed: "This is a temple, so its construction must conform to certain rules. Its east and west buildings can be connected in a line, and there is no access to the north. So this building is roughly Say, it is a triangle pointing to the south. And the three storage rooms are at the end of the building.

"As mentioned above in the quest, the chances of giants going to the three storage rooms are random - if their bedroom is at the northernmost point, then their probabilities of going to the three storage rooms are different. Giants have bear-like habits, so they will Hibernating. In this case, they will tend to take the shorter route...that is, the south is the safer direction.

"But in fact, there are lights only near the south. The giant has no night vision, and the lights are lit at that height, which means that the giant has been here recently. We were captured the next day, yesterday Someone should have been eaten too. Then the person who was eaten yesterday may have come from the storage room in the south."

"So I assume that the distance from the giant's bedroom to the three storage rooms is the same. Then the location of the giant couple should be in the middle of this triangle."

——But Aiwass felt a little strange here.

The holy number of the Supreme Heaven should be seven.

But no matter it is the triangular building structure, the number of three storage rooms, and the occasional candle flames...it looks more like a candlestick temple.The Candlestick Cathedral in Avalon is such a triangular structure with its apex facing south.

Giants don't have night vision, but this corridor is extremely dark.

So is there a possibility that the giant deliberately cut off the extra lights, making the temple less bright?
If it is the temple of the candlestick, then it should be brightly lit.Conversely, if it is not bright enough, it will destroy the concept of a temple.

In addition, the "giant couple" once killed the apostles who were dedicated to the way.That means they must also be apostles.

The apostle who consecrates the way has a personality similar to that of the candlestick master, and is usually kind to others.They hardly attack other apostles of the Pillar God, even the apostles under Snake Father or Amber.

Not to mention entering the temple of other apostles to attack each other.

"If this couple is quite militant and powerful, then their collection of holy relics should be far more than this holy spear. Similarly, they should be rewarded with more than just a magic cauldron, and we don't have It's time to receive the quest of 'Killing a Giant with the Holy Gun'.

"So after I noticed that the layout of this building was similar to the Candlestick Cathedral, I had a guess... Could it be that this was once the Candlestick's Temple, and then they were violently snatched by them relying on their numbers and sneak attacks? up?
"Because of this, they killed the apostles who were dedicated to the way, and collected the opponent's weapons."

Aiwass speculated: "If this temple was robbed, then there is a reason for the magic cauldron to be placed here - killing other apostles, this kind of supreme violence is enough to be rewarded by the highest heaven. Only the Holy Lance A magic cauldron that can only be crushed is basically a holy object."

"But these are guesses, right?" Lily said softly.

"That's right, but it's very simple to verify," Aiwass replied, "After I heard Thunder's screams, I made a layout.

"It was specifically mentioned in the quest that the loud noise would wake up the giant. But that noise was very loud. I was walking the maze in accordance with the rule of 'only keep to the left wall', and I heard the sound of thunder.

"That scream was enough to attract the giant. But from the time the scream came out until we left...about 10 minutes later, we didn't hear the giant's footsteps.

"So I speculated at the time that the giants were most likely sleeping. They needed a time to wake up.

"Then I have to make the worst consideration—the giants who went to check the situation at that time may not be two people, but one. If only one person came out, the other giant woke up and guarded the bedroom. We passed by On the contrary, it will be more dangerous there. According to the situation assumed by the pillar god, we should sneak in and look for the Holy Lance.

"Because of Lei Ting's screams, the original plan was broken. That's why I just deliberately knocked on the door here and made a loud noise. The volume is probably a little lower than the previous Thunder's screams.

"The west side is very far from the south side. If a giant went to the south side before, then there is another sound from the storage room on the west side this time... The remaining giant should also come to see the situation."

In this way, the two giants can be drawn out from the direction of the bedroom.

Just as Aiwass and Lily were whispering, they heard rumbling footsteps.

They immediately hid.

And soon, with the turning of the handle, a door was opened.

——Walking out of it was a male giant with a brown-red beard like a waterfall, like a brown bear standing upright, with red bear hair all over his body.

He looks like an orangutan with a human face and a bear with a human face.

His figure was like a hill, and his dark red muscles were as hard as rocks.

The giant's back was a little bent, and his hands were long enough to touch his knees.In one hand he held a huge lantern, while in the other he held the doorknob aloft.His eyes were huge, but drooped with age.The drooping eyelids were like thick curtains, and it would take someone standing on his shoulders to lift them up with a long fork.

And Aiwass' conjecture was verified the moment the giant appeared——

Because the giant is only thirteen or fourteen meters high.The height of the doorknob was close to his throat, which was an awkward height.

In other words, this is not his home.

And Aiwass even recognized the identity of the red-haired giant——

His name as a BOSS is [Asparvadon Giant Chieftain], and he is one of the BOSS of the final copy of version 3.4 following Shadow of Avalon.

He has another identity - he will become the apostle of the field of love in the future.

Because of this old giant, he is actually the brother of Shadow Sky from the Realm of Love, the Valkyrie Scathach who was pulled down by the Ring of Uroborus ritual.
