Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1198: Yan Tiansi arrives!
"Evans is gone."

Isabel watched Aiwas riding the Leviathan away alone and disappearing into the yellow sand, and whispered, "When will he come back..."

"Why, are you worried about him?"

Sherlock said quietly behind her: "I would say this is totally unnecessary, Isabel."

After Isabelle stepped down as queen, he gradually stopped calling her "Her Majesty the Queen".

This was actually a relief for both parties - if it wasn't necessary for her and Avalon had to be shouldered by her, Isabel would not want to be the queen at all. Even in her cognition, she was very far away from the term "Princess Royal Highness".

And for Sherlock... the only person who can make him address "Her Majesty" respectfully is Isabel's grandmother, the old Queen Sophia of Avalon.

Now that Sherlock can call them by their names, omitting the honorific and addressing them as juniors, this is precisely the proof that he is gradually becoming more familiar with the Aiwasses.

In front of Isabel, Sherlock did not call Aiwass "fox", but called his name seriously: "Aiwass has never let me down, and this time will be the same."

"It's more like nostalgia than worry."

Isabel's lips curled up slightly, and she said in a light tone, "I haven't seen Aiwass so excited for a long time... He was in high spirits, and the fire in his eyes seemed to come alive."

“Because he’s naturally inclined to push the envelope.”

Sherlock whispered, "It's just that the blade has become a little blunt."

At first, Aiwass could even be described as "doing whatever it takes to achieve the goal." Although the goal itself might have a just and noble motive, it did not affect the fact that his behavior itself was disturbing.

Aiwass had an extraordinary self-confidence, as well as a decisiveness and bravery mixed with a tendency to self-destruction.

This makes Aiwass always choose some "strange tricks" that are beyond Sherlock's expectations and make people quite uneasy.

But compared to the reckless "Hey, I just had an idea", Aiwass is always rough but meticulous.

His decisions seemed full of risks, and he always provoked enemies he could not defeat, but he was always able to know the opponent's key intelligence in advance, thus achieving unexpected results.

...Of course, Sherlock probably knows now that it is because history keeps repeating itself. Aiwass may know a little, or he may have some impressions, but anyway, as the half of Huan Tiansi, he can judge many things more accurately than others from an intuitive level.

This strategy of going all-in when others are afraid is full of instability and tension and is not reasonable, and can even be said to be illogical. The magic of Aiwas is that when the enemy thinks he has used up all his cards, he can always come up with an unexpected plan or ability, thus winning inexplicably.

It was for this reason that Sherlock was unable to analyze Edwards's action pattern at the time.

Because no matter how you look at it, Aiwass is just messing around, and there's no sign of any well-thought-out thinking on his part.

Yet, Aiwass always manages to successfully complete one dangerous task after another.

When it comes to challenging these difficult problems, Aiwass is quite proactive...at least that's how Aiwass was when Sherlock first met him.

If you think about it carefully, Aiwass's behavioral logic is actually quite similar to that of his adoptive father, who symbolizes the dark side of Avalon.

If Professor James' style is like a spider, quietly weaving a web and controlling everything in the shadows without anyone noticing...

Then Aiwass's style is like the ocean tide, looking peaceful, soft and relaxing.

But in the everlasting sound of the waves, there is a huge power hidden, which may roar into a tsunami at any time, or steal something on the shore silently like magic.

"And now, Aiwass hasn't done anything this extreme for a long time."

Sherlock stared at Isabel and whispered, "Maybe after he became Pope, maybe after he fell in love with you... maybe after he realized his mission and was angry that he had become a pawn."

I don't know when it started, but Aiwass gradually stopped taking risks.

He still liked extreme and effective strategies, but the danger and difficulty of them were decreasing. Now Sherlock could keep up with his thinking and even surpass his thinking.

Although Sherlock did become smarter...it had nothing to do with that.

"The madness of Aiwass has subsided."

Shylock concluded: "His strange... pride and desire for self-destruction are gone. Although he is radical now, it is actually a sincere decision."

"I used to think that kind of radicalism was a trait brought by Aleister," Isabel shook her head, "but now it seems that is not the case."

"So," Sherlock asked softly, "don't you hate this... instability? This is different from the way I know you."

Even with Sherlock's courage... it was too exciting to fight against a Pillar God, two Heavenly Officials, two Heavenly Officials candidates, about a dozen sixth-level extraordinary people and countless upper-level extraordinary people at the same time.

When Aiwass agreed to his plan without hesitation, Sherlock himself felt uneasy and absurd.

Should he have been wrong to give Aiwass this idea?
Because of this worry, he did not sleep well that night, and his magic power was only about half restored. Now he was eager to get an answer from Isabel.

From what Sherlock knew, Isabel was far more timid than he was.

She loved Aiwass so much that Sherlock had no doubt that if anything happened to Aiwass, Isabel would immediately commit suicide for love - especially now that Avalon no longer had any use for her.

But Isabel did not answer immediately.

She just said: "In a way, I do hope that he can be safe. As his lover and wife, and as the mother of his unborn child." ... But in another way, I also understand that Aiwass has a noble mission. There are always things that need him to do, and there are always people who need him to save.

"Just like me in the past. Just like us in the past - every one of us who is willing to unite around Aiwass now, there will still be people who are eager for his salvation."

Isabel said calmly: "No one knows Aiwass better than me.

"Evans is like the sun, eager to shine. He wants to save everyone equally, even if the price is to burn himself. Those who try to monopolize the sun will only be burned to ashes in the flames.

"The sun does not need a mirror to reflect its light, nor does it need supplies and protection. All I can give is quiet companionship, unquestioning support, complete affirmation, and sincere love. No matter what decision he makes, I will not show any weakness, timidity, or hesitation - if I put myself and anything that Aiwass values ​​on the scale, Aiwass will suffer the pain of two choices.

"That's not what I should do."

At this point, Isabel turned around and glanced at Sherlock: "It's not what you should do."

Sherlock was silent for a moment.

Isabel continued: "If he is the sun, then I would like to be a tree, basking in the greatest sunshine. My existence is a celebration of him.

“No matter how dangerous his plan was, no matter how many people he planned to kill, no matter how low the probability of his plan succeeding was, no matter how incredible and counterintuitive his plan was, there was only one thing I had to do, and that was to trust him.

"Total faith, unwavering faith. I believe he is right, I believe he can come back, and I believe he will continue to win in the future... and I urge you to believe this as well."

"…You have grown up, Isabel."

Sherlock looked at Isabel now, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Half a year ago, Isabel was still a young and timid little girl. She was almost driven crazy by the curse. Looking around, she found that she had no relatives and was forced to take over the mess of Avalon alone...

But now, in just half a year, Isabel has been completely transformed.

Who can still remember that Isabel is just a half-elf girl of only nineteen years old?

the other side.

With the help of the high-speed flying Shark, Aiwass reached the vicinity of Paradise City from Dawn City in less than two hours.

He flew high enough so that he could not be easily spotted.

Just as Isabel said - when the difficult problems came, Aiwass became extremely energetic.

He knew the difficulty of solving the problem at hand...but precisely because of this, Aiwass was even more focused.

He saw the flames burning in the oasis from afar from the sky, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Aiwass thought for a moment, wondering whether he should put out the fire immediately...

But that's it.

He suddenly felt a mysterious rhythm coming from the north——

"Wait a minute, Shark."

Aiwass patted the monster under him and looked towards the north with some solemnity.

The not-so-cold north wind suddenly had a bit of uncoordinated heat... just like when you open the window to let in some fresh air in the cool autumn weather while using a hair dryer on the heating mode to blow your hair.

——The next moment, the sky in the far north cracked.

A blazing abyss opened up from the sky, and golden-red lava waterfalls slowly fell down - even the oasis that was burning with flames instantly became three times stronger and immediately began to spread towards the city!

Why did it happen at this time...

Aiwass frowned.

Of course he knew what was going on, but he couldn't do anything about it now.

The whole world can resonate with this... that is the result of the authority in the fragments of the Celestial Master unconsciously influencing the material world.

Although it had been guessed a long time ago, it has only just come to fruition.

——The dwarves finally started the Tail Ring ritual.

Yan Tiansi has already arrived in the northern mountains.

“… Never mind. Let’s just ignore it for now.”

Aiwass shook his head and patted the Leviathan under him: "Let's find a deserted place to land."

"Okay, Father."

Unlike the terrifying and ferocious appearance, a voice as tender and sweet as that of a little girl came out of Shark's mouth.
