Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1262: Face of the Raven Guard
Haina finally accepted Aiwass's advice.

——That was of course not an order, but a suggestion from a friend.

Just like the confused but fearless fool, he always needs the advice of the "magician" before he chooses to embark on the journey of destiny.

And she really wanted to know her true self and become a real human being——

So she packed her bag, took enough food and water for a few days, and left Holy Spring City openly at noon.

There were quite a few people who saw this scene. Because Haina did not hide her tracks at all. When she reached the first circle, the news had already spread outside the city.

...From this point of view, she is quite aware of being a strong person.

However, Aiwass did not really let her take risks...

She is not afraid of being used by others - mainly based on Haina's social experience. Aiwass is a little worried that she will be sold or assassinated.

Just like when you are cultivating a child's ability to go to school by himself, although you say things like "be careful when you go out by yourself", you will actually follow him from a distance behind.

After all, she was still afraid that something might happen to the child in the blink of an eye. But she still had to scare the child verbally, otherwise she would not take it seriously at all.

This also applies to Haina.

Haena must be prepared for death and be in a dangerous situation alone to be truly serious. This will force out her potential and awareness. Although Haena's behavior pattern in the promotion ceremony was somewhat naive, her determination, perseverance, patience and reaction speed are not bad, and can even be called excellent.

It's like a college student who studies frantically before the final exam. If he works hard, he will eventually get some results. It's also like a husky in the polar circle. After his brain has cooled down sufficiently, his intelligence will once again take over.

So after Haina left, Aiwass asked Lily to follow her from a distance.

Lily's stealth ability is almost invincible here - she has a full set of Hawkeye equipment on her. Only those who have the fifth energy level of wisdom or balance equipment in reconnaissance can vaguely perceive Lily's existence. The only one who reaches this standard here is probably the Flame Fist Hassan.

The fact that he could vaguely sense Lily's presence was actually a good thing for Haina. It was also a kind of deterrence.

Lily will only appear to rescue Haina when she really encounters a crisis that she is unable to resist; otherwise, Lily will not meet Haina.

Both Aiwass and Lily could directly guess the possibility of that future - as long as Lily appeared in front of Haina, after being startled, she would immediately and happily give up her brain.

How should I put it... Giving up the brain is also a kind of destiny of a warrior. In various senses.

the other side.

In the Holy Spring City, most of the benevolent leaders have arrived.

Shortly after the two good masters, Mahidfrau and Ismail, left, a Water Crow Guard wearing a crow mask knocked on the door.

"Lord Aiwass."

A respectful voice came from the Water Crow Guard outside the door: "There is a message from the Forgiver for you."

"Oh?"

Aiwass's voice came from inside the house.

Because Lily had left, and the Nephthys guards were only the personal guards of "Encyclopedia" Plotinus, the old ritualist Iben was the one who opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, he saw the Water Raven Guard in black standing at the door and was immediately startled.

Although Ibn is now strong enough, he still instinctively fears the Water Raven Guards. That is a mark engraved in the hearts of every Holy Spring person. Ibn has been away from Anxi for so long that he can hardly speak Anxi language, but he will never forget the fear of being stared at by the Water Raven Guards.

He even had the opportunity to join in - of course, this might not be called an "opportunity".

Because once the Water Crow Guards come to the door, they don't need to show any evidence if they want to take someone away.

They are the embodiment of the "will of the good Lord".

Those who are taken away by them may be taken away for interrogation, or sold, or become one of them, or may be used to make thirst stones... These are all part of the water tax.

Aymar Nur, the good master of Holy Spring City, is the Grand Vizier of Rest. He usually does not appear in public in front of other people. All his actions are carried out by the Water Raven Guards, and his words are conveyed by the Water Raven Guards.

Because of this, the will of the Water Raven Guard is absolute. Holy Spring City does not need written laws - because if others know the content of the laws and regulations, it may restrict the actions of the Water Raven Guard. Therefore, the "Face of the Raven Guard" is the law itself.

The Raven Guard glanced at Old Iben and recognized him as a native of Parthia.

He didn't say anything, nor did he enter the door. He just bowed slightly respectfully and waited at the door.

It was like no one came to open the door.

Although he was extremely respectful to Aiwass, he was not polite or friendly to Ibn, a Parthian. He did not even look at old Ibn, and the look under the mask was full of indifference and contempt.

Aiwass walked over slowly and looked at the Water Raven Guard's attire.

These are the black-robed priests who were making the thirst stones when entering the city.

His mask looks a bit like the beaked doctor mask from the Black Death era... and its function should be similar. The beak contains a special reflux tube that can collect and purify the water vapor that escapes during breathing, so that it can humidify the inhaled air.

This simple function, in Anxi, meant "having partial control over water." Even if it was only a small part of the authority, as small as being able to only manage the moisture that one exhaled, it was a class completely different from ordinary freemen.

The long sticks in their hands are called "water-detecting sticks" and they also have special powers - they are a special cane similar to a blind stick. As long as they knock the ground with it, they can sense the water in the surrounding containers through the vibration.

It is said that this was originally a technique used by lizardmen and snakemen to explore underground water, but now they are using it to detect whether someone has hidden water.

"Kneel down."

Aiwass said lightly.

The Water Raven Guard knelt on the ground without hesitation, handed the water-detecting staff to Aiwass with both hands, and then kowtowed deeply to Aiwass. His forehead was pressed against the ground and he did not move - this meant that even if Aiwass killed him here, he would not resist at all.

This is the price that the Water Crow Guard must pay as the agent of the good master, and it is also the reason why old Iben had to escape this fate at that time.

Once they become a Water Raven Guard, they must swear to give up their autonomy as human beings. They cannot disobey the orders of the good master, and cannot betray... just like robots. Even the good masters of other cities have partial control over the Water Raven Guard.

As arrogant as he was before, he is as humble now.

Iben breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Aiwass with gratitude.

He could see that this was Aiwass venting his anger.

Although he was a Parthian and had long been accustomed to the power and authority of the Water Raven Guard...even before Aiwass got angry, he did not realize that he was being deliberately ignored.

This was really too childish, it was like pushing someone on purpose. Old Iben even felt like laughing... He probably wouldn't have used such a method when he was a teenager, it almost made him feel like a child again.

"Go ahead."

Aiwass took the cane and then gave instructions in a calm voice.

"Aymar Noor has said..."

The Water Crow Guard just opened his mouth.

An extremely hot flame instantly pushed across the earth and burned their skin.

The moment he opened his mouth, it was like swallowing a mouthful of hot air, and the words were instantly choked back.

The force instantly heated the water in his mask to boiling point, and the scalding heat caused his Raven Guard face to spew out steam, burning the trachea of ​​the young Water Raven Guard.

At this moment, an extremely majestic voice sounded from the sky:

[The path of dedication has surpassed the limit, and the material world is about to be upgraded——]

Aiwass shuddered and realized what was happening.

——Did Gray really use talk therapy to kill Yan Tiansi?
