Chapter 419 The Holy Number Is Eleven

He suddenly recalled the impulse to upgrade to Shadow Fiend yesterday.

If he hadn't suddenly had an idea yesterday, and promoted Shadow Fiend to Night Fiend with the impulse in his heart... the power of Shadow Fiend alone might not be able to scare Emma away.

Moreover, Shadow Fiend, which is close to advancement and too sleepy and tired, may even fall asleep directly at the scene where Aiwass is mentally controlled by Emma. In the end, when Aiwass turned into Emma's shape, it may not feel anything and know nothing.

——It's too hard for this development. Aiwass felt scared just thinking about it.

In the middle of the promotion to Shadow Fiend yesterday, Aiwass still felt that he was a little too anxious and prepared too sloppily.

If Aiwass was cautious as usual, he should have prayed to the candlestick a few days in advance and determined what tarot card should be used to seal the Shadow Fiend. Then prepare the cards and reserve mana in advance. His problem of insufficient mana is also easy to solve... Aiwass only needs to invest his free experience in the profession of demon scholar one day in advance to pull up the level.

He didn't even need to pull more.

He was only short of six mana - and the Book of Law could provide five colorless mana at that time, and making the base of the Sin Card in advance could save four mana. Even if Aiwass didn't pull at the first level, as long as he made the Sin Card in advance, it would be enough in the end.

As a result, he just didn't have enough, and he was just a little short.

- If he hadn't suddenly remembered the Golden Path feature given to him by the Twin Mirror, he might have broken an arm at that time.

But if he hadn't promoted yesterday, he would have been completely unable to resist Emma's mind control today; and the Shadow Fiend happened to enter the state of waiting for evolution after receiving the last pastoral care yesterday morning.

All this was too coincidental.

And it was just a little short.

He was almost kidnapped by Emma, ​​he was almost able to help the Shadow Fiend evolve successfully, and he was almost about to break an arm...

If the Golden Path feature was determined by the Twin Mirror.

Then who is the rest?

Why is the pastoral care method obtained by Aiwas so effective for the fifth-level Shadow Fiend and Succubus?

Why did Meg and Emma, ​​the two top masters of Avalon and Star Antimony, not know about the existence of the pastoral method?

Why did the shadow demon who had all the memories of Bayard, the son of the moon, and the well-informed elf Janis who traveled around the world, not hear about the pastoral method?

As early as the first energy level, Aiwas could influence the shadow demon through the pastoral method; in the promotion ceremony in the dream world, he even used the pastoral method to make the iron hook demon evolve into a deformed limb demon, and host his consciousness in the deformed limb demon...

And now at the third energy level, he can even charm the succubus who is best at charming the mind-even if this succubus has not yet hatched.

Aiwas still remembers the look she gave him.

The moment he left Emma, ​​she was stunned and heartbroken, as if she had moved her heart.

Before, Aiwas had intentionally or unintentionally ignored the peculiarities of the pastoral method.

And now, in the tranquility brought by the "fire worship" technique... or in other words, under the influence of the candle power, Aiwas thought calmly and finally realized that something was wrong.

Suddenly, a sentence rang in Aiwas' mind:

[——My holy number is 11, which is the number of people who belong to us]

That was what the "holy entity" summoned by Jacob said in the hallucination.

The holy number is eleven?

There are only nine paths in this world, and no matter how the nine pillars of gods are changed, the holy number will not change. Because that is the name of the nine great rivers, and the most fundamental origin of the numbers "1" to "9". It is the reason why natural numbers are sacred.

Even if the non-existent number "0" is counted, there are only ten, so where does the eleven come from?

For this reason, Aiwas only remembered the words at that time, but did not interpret them later. Because this kind of vague riddle that seems like a prophecy basically makes sense no matter how it is interpreted, and it is very likely to mislead the direction of one's investigation by associating it.

And at this moment, Aiwas, who was obsessed with pastoral care, suddenly realized a very simple thing that he subconsciously ignored:

3+8=11.

——The holy number of the candlestick is three, and the holy number of the snake father is eight!

The pastoral method requires a balance between the Way of Devotion and the Way of Transcendence, no more, no less, and the energy level must be the same.

The Shepherd initially pastored the demons of the Transcendence Path, and he even dragged the Fallen Angels to the material world in the end...

So, who else wants to drag the Fallen Angels to the material world?

——The Ring Angels!

And that sacred entity is a fragment of the Ring Angels...

"The number of people who belong to us..."

Aiwass murmured in a low voice: "'People' who belong to 'us'... we are plural, and people are singular.

"That person... isn't it the Shepherd? "

Although the powers in the tantras are all lost skills, the powers cannot be created out of thin air. All the extraordinary powers in this world, tracing back to the nine rivers in the dream world...

So...

--"Shepherd's Tantra", was it written by Huan Tiansi?

Even if there can only be one copy of a tantra in a language system, Janice and Emma should not be completely ignorant of this.

Unless the copy they got is a unique copy...

Or, from the very beginning, only "sacred entities" can use the shepherding method!

And if this is true--

Then in another sentence, Aiwass also seemed to understand why there has been only one "shepherd" for so many years.

If the first pastor was also a "holy entity"...

[——I am the intoxicating snake that gives knowledge, happiness and glory! If you want to worship me, you need to drink wine and the secret medicine I told my prophet until you are drunk]

If "knowledge", "happiness" and "glory" are regarded as the enhancement and evolution of the enhanced power, euphoria and status of the phantoms, then this seems to refer to the shepherding method.

But after reading this, Aiwass fell into deep thought again.

If wine refers to the blood that has been demonized by shepherding, His prophet refers to his grandfather Jacob, and intoxication refers to the intoxicated state of the phantom after accepting shepherding...

...What is the secret medicine?

Although he destroyed the book after reading it once, Aiwass remembered it clearly - this part was not mentioned in the "Shepherd's Tantra".

If so, Aiwass also understood...why he suddenly had a strong desire to be promoted to Shadow Demon yesterday.

——Although Emma herself may not know it, she is indeed related to herself!

Emma is the demonology tutor of the Giant Prince and the mastermind behind the Noble Red, so she is most likely the master of the Beholder Lord. She is a member of the Rosicrucian Order, the parent organization of the Noble Red.

The beholder is the one who informed the Giant Prince of the existence of the "sacred entity". Noble Red originally entered the Glass Island for this order.

There is no doubt that the person who originally issued the order to find the "holy entity" in Avalon was Emma!

The "holy entity" should be the fragment of Huantiansi, and Huantiansi is also the founder of the Ring of Endings ritual. Emma is a participant and victim of the first-generation Ring of Ouronomy ceremony, and the beholder happens to be the survivor and profiteer from the first-generation Ring of Ouronomy ceremony; if the Fallen Heavenly Division loses its position as Tiansi , then the profiteer is Huan Tiansi, who also belongs to the Beyond the Path Tiansi; he indeed took over the demon scholars left behind by the Fallen Tiansi, and arranged the advancement of the Sin Scholars and the Lord of Beasts on this career path...

Everything is connected.

The impulse that surged in Aiwass's heart yesterday may be the survival instinct of the "holy entity" that does not want him to be caught by Emma, ​​or it may be self-preservation after sensing hostility, which is why Shadow Demon advanced. So rushed...yet just right.

Before thinking about all this clearly, Aiwass had a strong murderous intention towards Emma - he didn't even think about sealing the succubus into a beast of sin, but directly made her into a phantom card. .

That means she doesn't even have a chance to return to the dream world and be resurrected.

But now, Aiwass has figured it all out. His idea has not changed.

Just one more.

He wanted to find out from Emma what the Ring of Ouronomy ceremony was about, where did the "Rosicrucian" interpretation of this ceremony come from, why on earth did they summon the Fallen Division to the lower realm, and what were they planning...

How did they, who had no connections in the upper realm, get the information that "the sacred entity is on the glass island"?

"Shepherd's Tantra..."

Aiwass muttered the name.

This book brought about the initial change in Aiwass, allowing him to embark on a completely different path from Aiwass in the original plot.

"You will celebrate my death, you will sing my holiness. You will start the celebration, you will hold up the scepter..."

Aivas whispered secret words from the Pastoral Tantra.

Whose death? Whose sacred?

Is it Aiwass's, the Shepherd's... or the Ouroboros's?

——Or maybe it’s from Fallen Sky Division?

Born to die, born from death.

The Ring of Endings, the Fallen God.

Use the tangible to nourish the invisible, and the invisible to nourish the tangible... This creates a sustainable cycle.

cycle……

"...Ha, I should have thought of it earlier."

The corners of Aiwass's mouth raised slightly.

He removed his hand from the extinguished candle. All the injuries on his body have recovered, and his eyes have become bright and confident.

The crow jumped uneasily and flew onto Aiwass's shoulder.

He stretched out a finger and tapped the crow's head lightly, humming softly.

"I have thought before that whether the power of pastoral care, which comes from nowhere, should be used freely... Now it seems that there is no need to hesitate."

The relationship between Huan Tiansi and himself is a hidden danger that Aiwass has never been able to eradicate.

With this hidden danger, it doesn’t matter whether he uses the pastoral method or not.

Merging similar items belongs to yes.

Aiwass's pupils ignited with light purple flames, and he murmured in a low voice: "If God doesn't take what he wants, he will suffer the consequences..."

"——I will eat the kindness you have given me with peace of mind."
