Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 51 Lily
After Aiwass woke up, he immediately packed up his ritual field.

The previously smoked white crystal pendant was no longer pure.Aiwass ground it into powder and put it aside for later use.

After receiving the breath of the dream world, the spirituality in it was so mixed that the concept of "white crystal" was lost.In all refining or rituals that require "white crystal" to use, it will only bring failure.

But it's not pure garbage either.The scientific name of this thing is "Secondary Dream Crystal". In alchemy and ritual science, it has a very weak concept of confusing dreams and reality.

If two opposite magical powers are infused into one portion of crystal dust, it is blended with the leachate of the entire brain of an adult cuttlefish.Finally, pour it into a bottle of white wine and distill it down to half, and you get three parts of Wangyou Water.Drinking one serving can make people forget their most worrying things like a dream.

——In the main mission of the game, after Yulia died, "Aiwass" fell into grief, and the whole person became obviously depressed and emaciated.At that time, under the guidance of Aiwass' adoptive father, Professor James Moriarty, the player used the white crystal pendant given to the player character by Aiwass as a commemorative material to make this potion, which made Aiwass Take it.

After drinking the potion, Aiwass fell into a deep sleep.When I woke up again, it was obviously much better.

It's as if that incident didn't happen a few days ago, but years ago.

That was also the first time in the game that James Moriarty participated in the main plot.

...Now that Aiwass is personally preparing this potion, it always feels a subtle feeling.

However, now that Aiwass thinks about it... probably from the beginning of this mission, he was implying that old James had a fairly good level of alchemy knowledge.Because Wangyou Water is not a common potion.At least as far as Aiwass' impression is concerned, it has never appeared in the main mission since then.

After cleaning up all the traces of the ceremony left in his bedroom, Aiwass left his room.

He told the housekeeper at home that his room can now be cleaned.Mrs. Luo Wei, the housekeeper, agreed, and called Aiwass' personal maid.

Generally speaking, servants don't need to always follow the master's side like followers. They usually stagger with the master when they work.After all, the Moriarty Manor was located in the White Queen District, so it couldn't be too big.But there are more than 20 rooms in the main building alone... This requires servants to clean in real time.

Usually the housekeeper Oswald will be contacted for foreign affairs, and Mrs. Luo Wei, the housekeeper, will be contacted for internal affairs.They are the easiest to find.

The former is the guardian of the Moriarty family, while the latter is just a hired human housekeeper.

In other knight families, there is no need for special instructions from the master - as long as they leave their place, the housekeeper will immediately order someone to clean the place where they stayed before.

But Moriarty Manor is an exception.

Because among the four masters here, Aiwass seldom went out after graduating from middle school.Yulia was not allowed to go out, or go near an open window.Edward basically only comes back one or two days a month...Only James will go out and go home from time to time.

Not to mention the arrangements for banquets and travel, there is not even much domestic waste.Apart from cleaning the room as usual, the servants just chatted in places where the masters couldn't see.

And the servants also know that the Moriarty family is a family of extraordinary people, and they are all studying mystic knowledge.All kinds of books spread out may contain dangerous knowledge that ordinary people will be demented or die at a glance; and various things placed on the table on the ground may also be part of rituals or enchantments.

So they don't go to the bedroom to clean up the garbage until the housekeeper says "it can be cleaned".Even if it is cleaned, it is only to restore the original arrangement of various objects and try not to move these things.

"Good morning, Master Aiwass."

The maid with flaxen-colored long curly hair who was nursing the oil painting at the side came over and said hello softly.

"Good morning, Lily."

Aiwass also greeted his personal maid in a friendly way: "I have good news for you...you can go to school now."

Hearing this, Lily suddenly opened her eyes wide.

"...Can I go to school too?"

She had been Aiwass's valet when he first came to the Moriartys.

Aiwass was six years old and Lily was fourteen.They have already become acquainted.

Lily usually cleaned Aiwass' bedroom, cleaned and changed his personal clothing, and accompanied him when he was out and about.

Considering issues of safety, decency, and appearance, these personal servants are usually not of civilian origin in the full sense, but are children of relatives or illegitimate children of other families.

Lily, for example, is the child of an old knight and a whore.

Her original surname was Drost, but she lost her own surname after becoming a maid of the Moriarty family.

The Drost family didn't want a prostitute's child to have the chance to inherit the inheritance, and felt that it would be a disservice to the Drost family's reputation if she went to school under the Drost name.But it would also be a shame to let her live outside.

In the end, the old knight asked old James to hire Lily as his personal maid.

This is called hiring a maid, but in fact it can also be said to be a kind of foster child.Professor Moriarty was also very kind to her - although her job as a maid prevented her from going to school, her studies at the junior high level were enough to give her the basics.She will also be provided with various books at home to allow her to learn things she is interested in after work.

"Of course, even if you're just accompanying me. But you also have to listen in."

Aiwass smiled gently, and patted the wheelchair under himself: "I can't let Mr. Oswald accompany me to school, can I? Then I will be laughed at by my classmates. I need a wheelchair pusher .”

"Then... what about Mr. Wade? He can still protect you."

Wade is the name of the old James' valet.

Aiwass shook his head: "I'm not qualified yet."

According to Avalon etiquette, only those with high enough status can have personal servants, just like only knight families can hire servants.Those businessmen, nouveau riche and senior civil servants who have not yet been awarded can only hire maids.Not only because a lot of physical work needs to be done by the manservant, but also the personal manservant also has the identity of a guard and bodyguard, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the mansion together with the butler.

The two personal servants of the Moriarty family belonged to old James and elder brother Edward respectively.Edward's valet was placed by him in another house in the Red Queen - he bought an apartment near the Inspector's House for the convenience of commuting to work.Only when he goes home, will he take his personal servant home with him.

When he went to see Bishop Mathers before, the butler Oswald personally took him there because Bishop Mathers had a high enough status.

But it was impossible for Oswald butler to take care of him every day.

Before Aiwass can obtain the third level of Shadow Affinity, can completely control the Shadow Fiend, or until the dark attribute mana pool reaches 50 points, and makes a blank card to seal the Shadow Fiend, he obviously cannot do without the wheelchair.

It's okay to say at home.Or it doesn't matter where there are no people.

But even if the Shadow Demon is quiet and does not act as a demon, as long as Aiwass stands on his shadow, he has conceptually "linked" with his Shadow Demon.Then his shadow would boil straight away—becoming thick and solid, wriggling and smoking.

This is obviously going to happen.And pushing the wheelchair to walk by myself, although it is not impossible to walk, but it is too tiring.

"...Can I really do it?"

Lily was a little nervous, and she reached out and grabbed the hem of her clothes: "My father... that man said that he didn't want me to go to school. And... and even if I push your wheelchair, you will be criticized by classmates Bar."

She obviously wanted to go, but she was afraid of getting herself into trouble.Rather than convincing Aiwass, it would be better to say why he couldn't go.

"How could it be?" Aiwass said with a smile, "They are envious, but they are not envious. After all, I can have such a beautiful girl to accompany me to class."

Of course, the real reason was...he knew that Lily wanted to go to school very much, and was full of thirst for knowledge.

Although theoretically he is not qualified to be a manservant, but he is in a special situation after all.Schools should also be able to give special approval.

But Wade is not interested in this, it might as well give Lily the opportunity.After all, she has been taking care of her older sister since she was a child...

In the original world line, Lily will die in a side mission three or four months later.Die insignificant, insignificant.

It would be better to let her follow him to school.

These characters that do not appear in the "plot" also have the possibility of "unknown" in a sense.

"...Where is it? You are too flattering."

Hearing this, Lily blushed.

Although she was a little girlish about her appearance, she actually knew that Aiwass was joking and reassuring herself.

The stern-faced female housekeeper couldn't help but smile too.

She obviously also had a good impression of this polite and introverted young maid, she patted Lily on the shoulder lightly and reminded, "Thank you, Master Aiwass."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Only then did Lili come to her senses, and bowed deeply.

Her tears were a little uncontrollable, and her vision was a little blurred.

Because she realized that Aiwass wasn't just saying it casually, and he wasn't joking - he was serious.

This made her unable to bear the joy in her heart.

Even the whole world, which was slightly blurred in front of my eyes, seemed to be shining brightly at dawn.
