Pastor's Tantra

Aiwass had to admit that he underestimated "Lulu" a little.

...his temporary teammate doesn't seem to be as good as he thinks.

After taking a short breath, the "Anne Alexander" by the window made a voice as ethereal as crystal.

It was obviously still morning, and the sun had just risen.

But her singing made Aiwass immediately think of the summer evening breeze blowing through the window and caressing the wind chimes. Carefree happiness filled his heart, and the anxiety in his heart that had not yet been revealed was also powerfully soothed.

It's like pouring water to extinguish a bonfire.

Aiwass slowly closed his eyes and gradually relaxed his mind...

"——Okay, Mr. Fox."

Lulu's voice came, which made Aiwass, who was always a little vigilant and leaning against the door listening to the movement outside, instantly opened his eyes.

"Yeah. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, it's easy. Even if I hold him and run, he will definitely not wake up for the next two hours."

The beautiful woman with platinum hair shone with confidence in her eyes, and she said seriously: "As long as you are not directly hit by a gun, you will never wake up even if you fall to the ground."

...Do you want me to praise you?

What a kid.

Miss Lulu must be young.

Aiwass thought.

He nodded slightly and praised: "Well done, Lulu. Thanks to you - we have been bringing the child who is awake all the time, and communication is very inconvenient. Little Aiwass was sleeping and didn't hear Our communication. After he woke up, we kept whispering... But outside, we can't keep communicating like this.

"Even if it is a child, the doubts in his heart will slowly accumulate, and he may eventually identify the loopholes in our performance - and once he is identified, he may be directly judged as the loser."

Aiwass said calmly.

The expression on his face did not change at all, and he still had the calm feeling of winning.

But in Aiwass's heart, he couldn't help but sweat for himself.

——Only a little bit, Aiwass will also fall asleep.

Even if it was because he took the initiative to relax... the effect of Lulu's song was so good that he was a little surprised.

Her singing voice is extremely clear and transparent, with a crystal-like ethereal quality. Even if it was emitted from "Annie's" body, it did not attenuate too much.

...Basic skills are so good?

Are you really an Avalonian?

Thinking of this, Aiwass's heart suddenly moved.

In Avalon, a young girl who has mastered the path of beauty...

——"Lulu" couldn't be Princess Isabel, right?

He remembered that Isabel had the path to beauty, and it was not low in intensity. After the "Cruel Autumn" incident in the game, she and Aiwass accompanied the player character to escape to the Eternal Theocracy, and she was also considered a member of the protagonist group.

However, whether she is Her Royal Highness the Princess does not actually affect Aiwass's plan.

Rather, if she were real...Aiwass might be more energetic when teasing her.

——This is also simple.

Let me test it out a little bit.

"...What an amazing singing voice," Aiwass showed a sincere smile and praised sincerely, "Even if you don't become a transcendent, you will definitely become a famous opera singer in mainland China."

"right!"

Lulu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she showed the innocent and happy smile she used when being praised by someone she respected: "I actually prefer singing and dancing to painting and sculpture..."

"Speaking of which," Aiwass seemed to have remembered something, "is the name 'Lulu'... taken from the opera "Lulu's Magic Flute"?"

"Have you heard of it, Mr. Fox?"

Lulu said happily.

“That’s an amazing opera.”

Aiwass affirmed, praising from the bottom of his heart.

That's really amazing - there are four magics of the path of beauty hidden in this opera, which can only be perceived and understood by extraordinary people with a certain level of artistic attainment.

——There are even two necessary skills for the level 30 advanced profession "Piper" and the level 50 advanced profession "Queen of the Night".

"Yes, yes!"

Lulu said happily, with sparkling eyes and high spirits: "When I was very young... my grandma took me to listen to this play. I only listened to it once and I could sing it. It's the part "Pa, Pa" in it. , Pa, Papagena!"

"Oh, I know," Aiwass nodded, "The part where Papageno and Papagena dance, right?"

——Although Aiwass responded fluently, he actually didn't read it at all.

But his good brother, the screenwriter, told him that the opera "Lulu's Magic Flute" is based on the opera "The Magic Flute" written by Mozart on Earth. The content and melody are basically the same.

In this world, its creator is not Mozart, but a fairy named "Lulu".

A goblin is a kind of childlike, weak phantom with wings. Just as demons are usually of the dark attribute, fairies are usually of the wind attribute.

Aiwass has seen "The Magic Flute." Of course, I also know some of the passages... Although I definitely won't be able to sing it, I can still do it with a little bit of imagination.

"Mr. Fox is so awesome, I thought this opera was very unpopular in Avalon!"

Lulu forgot about the promotion ceremony for a while, only the excitement of finding her confidant and someone she recognized.

She sang two lines impromptu: "[Do you always belong to me? I will always belong to you! Now you are my wife, now you are my true lover...]"

Aiwass immediately felt a joy surge into his heart. Light power flowed into his heart along with the music. He even felt that his steps were a little lighter and his body became more balanced - he was even confident that he would not hurt himself if he jumped from the third floor.

This is the [Light Melody] ability of the Path of Beauty. It can apply a buff effect equivalent to 1% to 300% of the "Acceleration" and "Balance Stance" spells to teammates within the range.

The gain provided in this way is only about a third of the effect at first and then gets stronger as you sing.

Lulu's strength is about 10% to 15%, which means that when she sings, she can provide everyone with a double spell continuous buff of close to 50%. The most important thing is that this is a power - which means it does not cost mana.

——Okay, this intensity is already enough.

Aiwass was completely sure that this was probably Princess Isabel who had not run away.

It is impossible for an ordinary "all-rounder" to accumulate such strong basic skills. Almighty usually means mediocrity——

But she really is all-powerful.

With her talent and foundation, she may be able to keep up with Aiwass's advancement speed.

The only problem is that the little girl is not wary enough.

He didn't even set up a trap or take the initiative to lower the other party's alertness. He just asked her casually and she said it all.

It is simply a walking, fully automatic box opener.

...I hope her tutor can train her acting skills well before meeting Her Royal Highness in the dream world next time.

If you keep doing this, I will be embarrassed to fool you.

Aiwass never bullied children.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it down slightly. Like a band conductor, he signaled Lulu to calm down.

Sure enough, she immediately stopped chanting and became quiet.

"Are you still nervous now?"

Aiwass showed a friendly smile: "Is it much better?"

"...Yes, thank you!" Lulu suddenly realized.

It turns out that Mr. Fox thought I was too nervous, so he deliberately chatted to relieve my psychological pressure!

"——Don't call me 'you'."

Aiwass emphasized: "Julio Alexander, you are Anne. You can call me Julio in front of others... or you can call me dear."

"...I'd better call you Julio."

Lulu whispered.

At this point, she suddenly realized something: "Wait, don't we go find Bishop Mathers?"

"Well, we're not going."

"Eh... why, why? I know him, he is very strong... he is the tombkeeper of the royal family, he can definitely protect us."

"I believe what you said - since you said so, he must be strong and strong enough to protect us."

Aiwass first confirmed Lulu's words, and then said, "So, did you bring the letter?"

"...What letter?" Lulu said without confidence.

At that moment, she felt that she had done something wrong, said something stupid, or lost something important...

"I mean the original copy of the threatening letter."

"No……"

"Yes, neither did I. So we don't know what that person wrote in the letter. At the same time, I don't know Bishop Mathers, so it's difficult to play his student well."

But I actually have a way to make him protect us...

Lulu thought and swallowed her words.

She was somewhat wary - saying this would be tantamount to exposing her real identity!

Aiwass narrowed his eyes like a fox and said slowly: "You should also have the task of 'leaving the cathedral', right?"

"Yes. Let me leave the cathedral and go to the Legal Plaza." Lulu responded immediately.

"How many points?"

"100 points."

"Low. Me too."

Aiwass commented: "The higher the difficulty and the more challenging the mission, the higher the score will obviously be. Since Bishop Mathers is so powerful, why are there so few points for voluntarily leaving the cathedral he shelters and going to dangerous places?"

"...Because he can't provide us with shelter?"

Lulu held the child in her arms, eyes wide open, as if she had an incredible feeling of being betrayed by an acquaintance: "Why is this..."

"It's not necessarily a refusal to provide asylum, it's also possible that he's not there at all. Or there's some unexpected situation that causes us to leave early."

Aiwass said leisurely: "In that case, we were driven onto the street empty-handed...I'm afraid the situation will get worse.

"Look, none of these missions intentionally kill us, right? That means these missions are conducive to us achieving our ultimate goal."

"...'once and for all'? Or 'live longer'?"

Lulu hesitated: "But you...you are the path of devotion, and I am the path of beauty. Neither of us has much fighting power."

Aiwass's heart moved.

Didn't she have the task of "the beginning of everything"?

"So, instead we have to leave the cathedral early."

Aiwass leaned against the door and explained his plan: "To prepare weapons."

In his plan, there is no need to hide the other party - "Lulu" will not become his weapon or consumable, and telling her clearly in advance will not make her wary; she will not talk to others alone, so there is no need to Worry about leaks.

In this case, Aiwass needs to speak clearly and clearly. You need to make the other person trust you, believe in your plan, and understand your purpose.

In this way, she would be able to implement Aiwass' plan with complete certainty, without suddenly adding some "own ideas".

Aiwass knows how to bring in new people.

"Weapon... gun?"

Lulu was a little worried: "Do you know where I can find a gun?

"If that doesn't work... I may have some ideas, maybe I can find a very powerful weapon. But it was fourteen years ago after all, and I'm not sure if it is there now..."

"Of course I know."

Aiwass replied calmly: "The Pelican Bar is near Lawyer's Square."

"...Ah, I know!"

Lulu blurted out: "It must be the news about Mr. Aiwass! He...eh? Aiwass?"

She was stunned for a moment, then picked up the boy in her arms and carefully put it in front of her eyes for a closer look.

"You guessed it right, he is the 'Aiwass'. 'We and our husband' were obviously dead in the original history, so his surname is Moriarty now."

Aiwass replied lazily: "It's better to say that you finally discovered this matter.

"But you didn't understand my plan. I said I was going to the Pelican Bar to prepare a weapon - but I didn't say I was going to buy a gun."

"...Extraordinary props?"

Lulu asked cautiously: "Do you... also have channels at the Pelican Bar?"

"No."

Aiwass closed his eyes and replied softly: "The weapon I prepared is called [Sherlock Hermes]. You are right. Both of our paths are auxiliary, so even if we take Weapons are actually just that. What we really need is to find partners who are capable of fighting.

"I believe that even if we have no communication or agreement before...Mr. Sherlock will definitely come to the Pelican Bar to meet us.

"——To be precise, he came to meet Mr. Knight and me."
