Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1065: Looking Back, It Still Has to Be Avalon

Aiwass did not specifically distinguish who were the blood slaves who were stubborn and loyal to the Count of Orleans, and who were just innocent victims who were kidnapped here.

On this point, he and Sherlock hold different views -

Sherlock viewed the blood slaves as "coerced accomplices" from the perspective of a lawyer. After all, he was born as a lawyer in Avalon, so it was natural for him to feel this way.

There is an obvious difference between the laws of Avalon and Star Antimony, that is, the laws of Avalon do not recognize the emergency self-defense rules that allow harming others in order to save one's own life, while the laws of Star Antimony allow this.

Specifically, if a kidnapper threatens a person and orders him to go out and kill a random person, or kill him if he fails to do so - then in Avalon, the person being threatened will still be prosecuted as a murderer. In Star Antimony, even if he cannot be found innocent, his guilt will at least be mitigated.

This is because Avalon believes that the purpose of the "Emergency Asylum Ordinance" is to promote the overall interests of the entire society, and that the meaning of the law is to enable this society to purify itself and develop in a better direction. Therefore, when facing kidnappers, Avalon tends to disagree with all the kidnappers' demands - this is a legal principle established during the reign of Tudor III.

Because the tyrant "The Hanging King" believed that if compromises were made in order to save some individuals, it would be tantamount to encouraging such behavior or acknowledging the possibility of such criminal behavior.

For example, if the kidnappers think that "kidnapping people in public can blackmail the government to do something", it will increase the possibility of kidnapping people. Similarly, if someone is forced to kill someone, and he knows that this behavior will allow him to escape punishment, he will be more willing to comply with this behavior and do something criminal, and the kidnapper's success rate will increase. If he knows that he will also face the death penalty for killing someone, then he will resist the kidnappers more fiercely, thus letting the kidnappers know that this is not a smart choice.

This is the most typical authoritarian thought: the collective is greater than the individual, and rules are more important than human feelings.

On the other hand, the Stars, where the idea of ​​equilibrium is popular, consider the issue from the perspective of the coerced: they believe that the purpose of the law is to maintain stability, that is, to maintain "balance."

From this perspective, the law cannot be above the ordinary people. If the law puts an ordinary person in a dilemma, then it is a bad law - or at least a law that will cause controversy. When a dispute is caused, it proves that the role of this law in mediating disputes has been invalidated.

——This law is clearly meant for reconciling disputes, but it has caused even greater controversy and may even cause more trouble. This means that this law itself is not qualified in terms of "maintaining balance". As for what other prisoners think, that is their own opinion. People are independent of each other, and events are also independent of each other.

But Aiwass's idea is simpler.

His idea is typical of the path of devotion - no matter whether this person is wrong or sinful, if I have a way to save him, I will save him first.

If you accidentally save the wrong person, the worst that can happen is you can go back and make up for your previous mistake.

——What about individuals and society, laws and mortals? I don't understand that. Anyway, save all the people at hand first. It's better to save the wrong people than not to save them. If you save the wrong people, at most you will lose some of your magic power and vitality. At worst, you can kill them back. The only loss is yourself. But if you save too few people, then there will be one person left.

So before Yasen went to sort out the blood slaves who could be saved, Aiwass had already saved all the humans in the Earl's Mansion. It was less than half an hour later than Sherlock killed all the Moon Children here. Some of the blood slaves were just electrocuted by Sherlock and were saved by Aiwass.

You take care of the killing, I take care of the survival. There is no need to worry about accidental injuries from the lightning chain.

In order to improve the efficiency of treatment and to forcibly "resurrect" some people who had just died, Aiwass directly transformed into a sin-beast.

Although this is not strictly speaking a resurrection, because their souls are still intact in their bodies. It only involves the treatment of the body... It doesn't even add 1% to Aiwass's transformation progress.

It seemed as if they sensed the earl's death, or as if it was because Aiwass's posture at this moment was too sacred and mysterious...even the blood slaves who had rushed out to attack Aiwass before were now standing obediently by Aiwass' side.

They didn't dare to leave, and didn't even dare to look up at Aiwass. Instead, they stood quietly behind Aiwass, hunched over like loyal servants.

Even though all the Moon Children in this building are dead, the spirits that were tamed in the past still remain in their hearts.

There was no smile on their faces. They all looked pale as if their entire family had died.

——Maybe it’s because if they act too cheerful, they will be beaten, tortured or even interrogated.

Aiwas had read about this knowledge in the textbooks on advanced divine arts when he was studying in the Church Country, but he had never experienced it in reality.

Xue Tiansi is the son of the moon and the dragon. When Hengwo ignores him, the host doesn't care about him, and only Sister Sasha loves him, he only has admiration for Hengwo, greed, and desire for possession. He is distant and respectful to the host, but has a slight desire to challenge him... just like a rebellious teenager who wants to challenge his father and embrace his mother.

As for Sister Sasha, his attitude was almost to ignore her, just like the emperor's illegitimate son trying his best to deny his other half's ordinary blood. It is said that he even regarded it as his own shame, but there is no evidence - because of Sister Sasha's existence, he has a trace of mortal characteristics.

His inclination can be seen from the fact that he named the race he created "Sons of the Moon".

Because of this, he was obviously dissatisfied with himself for not becoming a "perfect man" - even angry. After leaving a message for his descendants to develop in this direction, he directly entered the dream world in his physical body.

Until now, no perfect human being has been born among the Moon Children.

However, Xue Tiansi believes that humans and the Children of the Moon are greedy for pleasure because of the primitive animal desires deep in their bodies.

Whether it is appetite, reproduction, or sleep, they are all instincts that beasts also have. It is precisely because of this animal nature that polluted the blood of the Moon Child that the Moon Child could not be promoted to the evolution of humans - the perfect man, so he directly blocked these instinctive desires of his followers.

By not giving them positive feedback, they are forced to "quit" the addiction.

There is no taste when sucking blood, no taste when eating, no happiness when sleeping, and no pleasure when reproducing. The whole person is like living in a huge shell, contacting the world through a layer of diaphragm.

Xue Tiansi hopes to use this method to help his descendants to realize the truth faster - if they can't feel anything, can they be transcendent? Then come on!

"……Why."

Aiwass glanced at the blood slaves standing densely behind him and sighed silently: "I can only say that Xue Tiansi is a really uneducated giant baby..." Hearing this, the blood slaves behind him looked at Aiwas with almost horror.

They dared not even resist their own master, and the god their master worshipped was actually called a "giant baby" by this sacred white deer? !

But Xue Tiansi’s logic is indeed outrageous.

This is just like the idea of ​​"You don't study hard, so I don't let you play games, so you can study hard."

After the Moon Children were forcibly deprived of this instinct, the hunger for love in their bodies almost drove them crazy. But they could not satisfy the emptiness in their hearts... So far, no Moon Child has successfully completed transcendence, and instead, they have become twisted and crazy.

Although most of the senses are blocked, there is still a faint sense of pleasure that can be captured - and they constantly seek higher stimulation in order to pursue this slight feeling.

In this process, they are different from other Moon Children. Other Moon Children are proud of their ability to bring others happiness that humans cannot bring, and believe that this is a proof that Moon Children are higher than humans. But for these Moon Children who worship the Blood Sky Master, the pleasure they feel is often far less than the pleasure felt by others - on the contrary, the feeling of pain is the same.

They cannot feel normal happiness, so they envy other people's happiness. Or, they begin to pursue a kind of "perverted happiness" - just like castrated eunuchs who enjoy torturing others, in a sense, they are "castrated by the blood sky".

The Enchanted Kiss itself is a way to manipulate others through pleasure, and if one dares to show pleasure in front of these psychopathic Moon Children, he or she will probably be severely tortured immediately.

These blood slaves, while enduring painful torture, were also controlled by the Enchanting Kiss from time to time, so almost every one of them was brainwashed and turned into puppets.

They all stood quietly behind Aiwass like monsters, their backs completely bent... like the spines of wild elves.

But the wild elves are like this because they are too tall and are used to talking to the short humans around them. They are doing this for self-protection - everyone will smile for a moment, and if their master sees them, they will probably be beaten to pieces. So they can only bend down deeply and give a fake smile only when greeting guests.

Completely different from the Moon Son on Xingti and Narcissus's side.

Although the blood slaves there might be a little younger and their clothes a little more revealing, at least every one of them was full of energy and laughter. Some blood slaves even dared to flirt with their masters, such as the student at the Spiritual Tower... He even dared to resist his master.

Although this kind of "resistance" is mostly a personal interest of Blood Coral, just like a cat always plays with a mouse before catching it, letting it go and catching it again. But at least the safety of the blood slaves is relatively guaranteed - and the worst environment is nothing more than the White Dove Opera House.

Did they really lend money or help people pay off their debts? Or did the victims "voluntarily" sign a contract to give up their human rights, and then become blood bags with emotional value? There was no violence in the whole process.

Even so, both sides were just enjoying themselves. The few deaths were either because the Moon Child had gone mad after not sucking blood for too long, or because the blood slaves angered the moody Moon Child and made him furious...

At that time, Aiwass already felt that this was the worst thing in the world.

——Just like when he was still in Avalon, he already felt that Avalon was the darkest country in the world.

A group of businessmen actually tried to corrupt the knights with money and seize power!
This group of knights were actually successfully corrupted!

But the more places Aiwas traveled, the more he felt that Avalon was truly a peaceful place...

If we don't count the gangs and killers that exist in every country... the darkest part of Avalon society is just a group of merchants who want to manipulate the parliament and bribe the knights. Even when they try to manipulate the parliamentary process, they only use the rules to buy votes and marry high-ranking officials.

Look at the crazy people of the Church, the messy Star Antimony, and now Iris...

Aiwass thought Avalon was really good.

After healing the tamed blood slaves, Aiwass also healed the injuries of the humans that Yasen had brought back but had not yet become blood slaves.

Many of them who tried to resist the Moon Child had their limbs cut off and were hung on the beams. Under the treatment of blood magic, they did not die - the broken limbs healed, and the spine and the iron hook grew together in a twisted way.

Their bodies were covered with scars - those were the marks left by bloodletting.

Just like the rubber tree, it is covered with hideous cut marks.

These were not cut by the Son of the Moon, but squeezed by the blood slaves.

Just as the Moon Children of Star Antimony and Narcissus can feel the pleasant joy from the blood, the Moon Children of Iris can also feel the pain, despair and fear flowing in it.

However, their ability to perceive positive emotions is too weak, and only negative emotions can serve as nourishment.

Just like when they drink soy milk, they should add sugar, but they add chili peppers because they can no longer taste the sweetness.

These blood bags were almost tortured to the point of mental collapse.

Even after Aiwass cured them, they still trembled as if they were in a state of dementia, unable to speak or walk. Their pupils had lost their luster, and just touching their bodies with a finger would make them tremble with fear as if they were being cut with a knife.

"Okay, it's all right now."

Aiwass, who had transformed into a sin-monger, comforted them gently, pressing his horns against their faces: "It's okay... It's okay..."
