Chapter 251: What's the Point of Pastoral Care if It Doesn't Hurt?

After Ligeia left, Aiwas refused the maid who came to clean up the room, and asked Lily to clean up the burned things in the room.

—— To be honest, the scorched chair under Aiwas, as well as the burned books, letters, and newspapers are all very precious things!

As long as they are slightly processed, they can be used as good ritual materials. They can even be used as materials for Aiwas to make magic cards.

Even though the power of the flames Aiwas drew was not great, it was still the fire of the heavenly official in terms of status.

His power attacked Aiwas from Aiwas's illusion-or in his dream, causing the parts of reality other than Aiwas to be damaged. This kind of "power that can seep from dreams to the material world" is the most standard power of the heavenly official.

And these mortals burned by the fire of the heavenly official also have the characteristics of extraordinary things because of the influence of this power.

The birth and death of a thing have their own special meanings. Fengqiwu and Leijimu are both precious ritual materials.

Just like a mortal who has been ordinary and no one remembers for decades, if he is suddenly punished by God and dies one day, then he will have some specialness after death. People will remember this person who died extraordinary because his death has been tainted with the breath of God.

Lily collected all the ashes according to Aiwas's instructions. Then crushed them and covered them on the secret book. In this way, not only can they extract the power of the secret book with the same origin and reduce its activity to play a sealing role, but also the quality of these materials can be slowly increased.

And the chair can also be chopped into wood and stored first. This thing can later draw the power of other apostles or Tianshi and make it into incense or charcoal... However, Isabel still has to pay some compensation. After all, it almost caused a fire.

Although Master Yannis is watching, the matter will definitely not be a big deal. But this is not good after all.

The shadow demon who had been quietly watching Lily finish cleaning up and hiding in the shadow under Aiwas suddenly said: "My master... are you the type who is afraid of pain?"

"Yes, I am very afraid of pain.

Aiwass did not feel ashamed at all, but calmly admitted this: "There is nothing shameful about this... It is better to say that this shows that I am sensitive enough. If humans are numb to pain or endure pain, their bodies are prone to problems.

"Just like people instinctively fear water, because not everyone is born to swim; people will feel pain after contacting flames, because if they are burned, they may be infected or even die. Pain and fear are the best armor for humans to protect themselves."

"Of course I understand this kind of thing."

The shadow demon replied in Miss Chloe's sweet voice: "I am not a native demon... Although it has been a long time, I was once transformed from a human. Of course I know that humans are afraid of pain.

"... I just see you feeding us with pastoral care almost every night. I thought you were the type who could enjoy pain..."

Feed us...

Evans's eyebrows jumped slightly, thinking that this Shadow Fiend had a high EQ.

Because he didn't actually spend much time feeding the Shadow Fiend.

After that, he reached the third energy level and had already left the novice period. His promotion speed might be a little slower, but before that, his promotion speed was completely overflowing compared to the promotion. It was all because of the half-month or one-month internal cooling of the ritual that stopped him.

The time he used the pastoral method, except for the one or two times when he tamed the Shadow Fiend at the beginning... that is, the previous half month. And in this half month. , he basically fed them to the Flame-Butterfly.

After all, the Flame-Butterfly is a fully-formed upper-level phantom demon, but it is not at its full level, so it cannot exert its full strength; and the Flame-Butterfly's abilities are very comprehensive, it can hit people, cannon, cast spells, heal, and dispel. The Shadow Fiend is just an upper-level demon, and it is still a long way from being an upper-level phantom demon. It is estimated that it will need to evolve one or two more times.

A fully-developed upper-level phantom demon can become an apostle as long as it is favored by a celestial official or a pillar god.

But the Shadow Fiend is obviously impossible.

Although the Shadow Fiend is still a BOSS in this version, in only two large After the version, Shadow Fiend will become an elite monster on the roadside.

Shadow Fiend is like a SR that novices must get when they first draw. Now that it has reached a fairly good level, the cost-effectiveness of feeding it dog food is actually not high at this time. Moreover, even if Aiwass feeds it to the full, he can't get breakthrough materials for it; and the Flame Butterfly is the first SSR that Aiwass has drawn. It is of a very low level and has a promising future.

At the same time, Shadow Fiend is not Aiwass's big beast yet, so it does not occupy the shared position of the big beast. So the two of them can appear at the same time... Then when resources are limited, Aiwass chooses to feed it first. A low-level SSR is a reasonable situation!

The only problem is that Shadow Fiend seems to be a little...jealous?

It's like a dog that has been raised at home for a long time, and suddenly finds that the owner has brought back a kitten, and then takes good care of the kitten - even if he knows that the other party is a kitten that needs care, he will still feel unbalanced.

But now, Shadow Fiend has discovered one thing - is the owner the type who is afraid of pain?

That's a different nature.

- Since the owner is so afraid of pain, why does he use pastoral care to feed the Flame Butterfly every day?

Hearing this, Aiwas just smiled.

"It is because of fear of pain that it is meaningful."

He answered casually: "If the process of sharing my flesh and blood with you is pleasant and enjoyable, then it cannot be called sacrifice. Naturally, it cannot be called dedication and kindness."

If you feed some body parts that are not painful, not dangerous, and even pleasant because of fear of pain - such as hair and nails, then the pastoral method will not be effective.

"It is because I am afraid of pain and death that my actions of cutting my wrists and holding the blade are sacred; it is because I am so painful and so afraid, but I have only mercy and kindness in my heart, that I can use the pastoral method.

"If this injury can no longer threaten me, or I am already familiar with or blocked the pain, then the power of the pastoral method will also decrease. "

Evans patiently explained to the Shadow Fiend.

If one day, the recovery ability of Evans' body is so strong that he can cut his wrist with his front foot and the wrist will heal immediately after the back foot, then this behavior will no longer bring him danger.

At that time, Evans might have to cut his throat.

Similarly, if Evans has gradually adapted to the severe pain of clenching the blade and can endure it without changing his expression even without using the pastoral method, then he might have to scrape the bones and cut the flesh.

"No wonder..."

The Shadow Fiend suddenly realized and murmured in a low voice.

"... No wonder?"

Evans heard the Shadow Fiend's words and was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"The breath emitted by your pastoral method is fluctuating all the time. The sweetest breath I feel now is the first time you used the pastoral method on me... and every time after that, it is not as sweet as that time. Although equally sweet, it is like sugar water and honey wine... The former can certainly make people feel happy, while the latter can make people's heads swell. "

The Shadow Demon said respectfully and nostalgically: "After that pastoral care, I felt that I had a connection with you. It seems that a part of your life is flowing in my body, and I can feel that warmth all the time... It's like walking in the ice and snow, but there is a heat flowing in my body. "

The girl's voice was full of desire: "I am so eager for your gift. After that, I no longer devoured the flesh and soul of humans, but only missed your kindness in my heart. My master, when can you let me taste your true kindness again? "

Hearing this, the crisp and tender voice of the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly came from the side: "I want to eat too, brother."

Although she didn't know what the Shadow Demon said, it was definitely right to mention it at this time.

"There is a limit to greed, and you are not carrying the sin of gluttony!"

The Shadow Demon was a little angry, and his voice became hoarse and dry: "There is no reason for you to get all the good things! "

"Don't worry, you two. I can't feed you for at least half a month..."

Evans answered casually, and postponed the dispute to half a month later.

He had a headache.

This is just one and a half beasts of sin...

When he gathers six beasts, what will happen?

...But, the first time?

Evans recalled.

That was the pastoral method he tried immediately after reading the shepherd's secret.

At that time, he didn't know what would happen next, so he was full of fear; and at that time, he didn't know to what extent the pastoral method would hurt him, so he was extremely strong at that time-gripping the ritual knife tightly until the blade cut through the muscles and stuck into the bones; that was also the first time that Evans hurt himself, and he also had the fear and resistance of death in his heart.

When the Flame of Rebellion Butterfly was sealed by himself, Evans had already returned to school. In most cases, he had something to do the next morning, and even if he didn't have classes, he had other schedules, so he didn't dare to let himself be too weak.

At that time, he fed every day The flesh and blood of the Flame-Butterfly was what his body could bear in his calculations. He did not feed it all of his mana, but left some for the fire sacrifice.

Because Aiwass was reserved, the pastoral method that the Flame-Butterfly ate after it was born was not that strong?

No wonder Aiwass always felt that the Shadow Fiend's improvement after eating the pastoral method was greater than that of the Flame-Butterfly...

It turned out that it was not an illusion. It was because Aiwass's mentality had changed.

Thinking of this, Aiwass's mentality became a little subtle.

Maybe this is why the Shadow Fiend was a little jealous but never anxious.

After all, in the Shadow Fiend's view, the Flame-Butterfly had never eaten anything good at all - the most delicious one had been taken away by her, and it was just mass-produced afterwards.

However, after Aiwass understood the principle of the flesh and blood produced by the pastoral method, he probably understood how to enhance the effect.

- In short, don't feed it so calmly. Be a little wilder, preferably to the extent that it can scare others...

"Aiwass! "

Before Isabel arrived, an anxious voice came from the door: "Are you okay?"

The shadow demon under Aiwass instantly dived into the shadow, and the Flame Butterfly also landed on Aiwass's shoulder, keeping quiet like a decoration.

"Ah, I'm fine... What's the matter, Isabel?"

Aiwass looked up and greeted: "Are you going out?"

"There seems to be something exciting over at the port."

Isabel looked very energetic: "Want to go and see it together?"
