Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1250: Being a human or a dog?

Haina could only forcibly skip this topic and said anxiously: "If we don't leave now, we might be discovered!"

There are many strong people in Shengquan City. Even Haina knows this.

After all, the Holy Spring City not only imitated the circular model of the Theocracy, but in terms of international status it is completely a "small Theocracy" and a "desert Theocracy".

Here is the essence of most of the ancient Parthian Empire, as well as many Horus and Primordial People - they are too far away to the Theocracy, but are quite close to the Holy Spring City.

The area of ​​the ancient Parthia alone is far greater than the combined area of ​​Avalon, Star Antimony, and Iris... Moreover, this is the place with the highest concentration of dragons in the world, as well as elves, dwarves, lizardmen, snakemen, winged ones, giants, goblins, trolls... and even ancient magical beasts living here.

This is also the reason why the baker spoke rudely to the Pope. He was proud of the Holy Spring City from the bottom of his heart and did not think that his master was inferior to the elves.

——The heritage of both sides is equally ancient, and that of Holy Spring City is even more ancient; the Theocracy has the "Ennead Canon", and they also have the "Holy Spring", an equally ancient classic; both sides are places where multiple races live together, and they have a lot more than the Theocracy, which has a relatively single race, and can even allow enemies such as elves and dwarves, humans and giants, snakemen and winged ones to live together stably.

Even if it is the sixth level, what is the big deal? The Pope is the sixth level, and their benefactor is also the sixth level; the Pope has fifth-level cardinals, and the ministers and bureaucrats under his benefactor are also fifth-level, and the number may be even greater!

The Theocracy has ancient technology, but don’t they also have equally ancient forbidden spells?
Even the Good Lord here lives alone in the Fourth Ring, just like the Eternal Pope who lives alone on the top floor of the Giant Tree Kingdom - he has absolute authority and people's faith, but rarely shows up in front of people.

This gave the residents a great deal of freedom - at least compared to the good masters in other cities, it was the best.

As a Sabbath proverb goes: The best god is the one who is far enough away from you.

The baker also sincerely believed that the Theocracy was just like that. This was not necessarily narrow-minded, but just a little unconvinced. They did not witness how the ancient elves ruled the world, but saw the elves turn swords into plowshares and choose the path of peace and equality, and the fire of ambition in their hearts burned fiercely - just like he usurped his teacher's position and became the right master of ceremonies of the good master.

The position of the Master of Ceremonies is the highest level manager of the power and business of "Ceremony". If the two Masters of Ceremonies are put together, they can be regarded as the head of the Nine Officials in the beginning. However, starting from these generations of good masters, the Masters of Ceremonies began to be set up at the same time... This is also to wear down their power and let them fight each other to maintain balance.

From this perspective, the elves only got the remains of the ancient and powerful apostle, the "Giant Tree", as their home. If they lost the Giant Tree, they would have to support and protect the Sinthorn that caused the desertification of the environment... Humph, maybe the elves are living a worse life than them now!
——Old man, it’s time to get gold coins!
It was precisely because she learned about the antiquity and power of the Holy Spring City through emergency tutoring that Haina was so anxious now.

She didn't want to get Aiwas into trouble because of her own reasons and ruin her friends' plans... just like she brought the baker into the shelter in the first place.

"…So what if I find out?"

Looking at Haina who subconsciously became timid again, Lily smiled helplessly.

As expected, my young master was the exception. From gaining power to becoming a strong man, the process was too smooth. Although he was a little confused and self-destructive in the middle, he soon found himself again as he split himself into two.

But Haina is only 22 years old this year - her social experience is only that internship period of less than four months, after which she became an arbitrator who is high above and supported by the kingdom.

Or from another perspective, Aiwass is the monster.

He is not even twenty years old this year, but he is so mature!
And now Haina is behaving like a young person in her early twenties should...

Lily, who was roughly the same age as Sherlock, sighed and patiently said:
"——Haina, are you satisfied with this revenge?"

The maid folded her hands in front of her, looking dignified and elegant. Except for the shadows under her feet wriggling with fangs and claws, she even looked a bit like a noble lady - although in terms of bloodline alone, Lily was indeed a noble lady.

"...To be honest, I'm not very satisfied."

Haina was a little depressed. She originally thought that revenge would be very refreshing, just like what was said in the book. But now she felt that her hatred was so empty.

They had never had a quarrel, so the easy killing seemed a bit like he was angry and frustrated - if he had known earlier, he should have assassinated him directly, so as to avoid being scolded by the other party.

Haina's upbringing and education were a hindrance at this moment. Maybe if she just scolded the other party, she would feel much better now.

"Because you are seeking justification for your actions, Miss Dane."

Lily said calmly, "Because what you really hate is actually the cowardly and stupid self in the past. You came here to kill your past self. There is nothing wrong with this. This is also a test for yourself."

Hearing this, Haina was suddenly stunned.

She looked up at Lily, and for a moment she felt as if she was back in college. The words that easily saw through other people's minds reminded her of someone.

That was clearly a year ago, but it seems so far away now - Professor Moriarty is just like Lily, standing in front of her and calmly pointing out the problems she has in managing the student union.

Everything seems to be the same as in the past, and I am still the same person as in the past.

This made Haina feel at ease.

"You lack the awareness of being a strong person, Miss Dane."

Lily's voice overlapped with Professor Moriarty's in Haina's memory:
You lack the humility of a student, Miss Dane.

"You became stronger too quickly, and therefore lost your correct understanding of yourself."

[Your grades have always been good, which makes you lose the correct understanding of others]

Lily's slow tone and the atmosphere that seemed to blend with the shadows made Haina feel as if she saw Professor Moriarty from the past.

"……Yes."

She whispered back instinctively.

Lily said softly, “You thought you would cause trouble for the young master because of the damage you caused. But in fact, it is because you caused this damage that you will be fine.

"You are a strong person. As a strong person, you should not only be humble, but also show your strength. It is not right to be tolerant all the time, because it will make people lose their perception of you. A strong person should show his or her strength and allow others to adjust their perception of him or her. Otherwise, he or she is not a strong person, but just a strong dog. If you don't have the awareness to become a dog, don't do dog things and ask people to treat you as a human being."

[You are indeed very smart and beautiful. You are very popular and people are willing to play with you. But you don't understand what others want. You are too close to them, and your heart is too soft. This means that people close to you can easily shake your will and usurp your power. I know that this doesn't make any sense in school... But with your excellence, you will become a big shot sooner or later. If you don't want others to steal your power, you'd better stay away from them. ]

"You...you are just a maid, why do you know so much?"

Haina asked in surprise and frustration.

Lily replied calmly: "Because it was only after I understood everything that I willingly became the young master's dog."
