When Aiwass woke up, he found that he was in an extremely familiar place again.
This is the Candlestick Cathedral in the Red Queen.
It wasn't the St. Guinevere's Chapel where he last learned the sacred arts, but the main hall where people came and went.
And he was not the host of the ceremony, but sat in the back row and prayed quietly.
Aiwass looked down calmly and found that his dress was basically the same as before entering the dungeon.
He was still wearing the white priest's robe, and he didn't even wear a miter on his head.
Could it be that he is a new pastor who has just joined the job?
...Strange, who am I?
Just when Aiwass was confused, a hoarse voice as sharp and unpleasant as fingernails rubbing against a blackboard suddenly sounded in his mind:
"You are the priest Giulio Alexander, you are twenty-seven years old.
"Your niece Lisa was murdered a month ago, but the Inspectorate was unable to find the murderer.
"One month after that incident, you received a letter. The letter mentioned that you 'didn't do what they said' and threatened to kill your son Aiwass Alexander next - specifically. The time is today.
"Fortunately, you are a student of Bishop Samuel Mathers, so you brought your wife and children to the Cathedral for refuge today..."
The next moment, a few lines of words jumped out in front of Aiwass' eyes.

After seeing all this clearly, Aiwass's pupils suddenly shrank.
He suddenly realized something. Even Aiwass' breathing stopped for a moment.
He turned his head and saw his "wife" beside him.
She has long platinum shawl hair, a dignified and elegant figure, and is wearing a pearl-colored silk dress. She originally had a beautiful face that made people feel gentle and intellectual, but at the moment her face was full of exhaustion and haggard, and she was hugging He closed his eyes and prayed with the child in his arms.
The boy she held in her arms had platinum-blond hair.
Because I am so young, my hair is still a little thin and thin, like the fine downy hair of a cat or a dog.
He obviously didn't know what he was going to face yet. He just sat quietly and obediently in his mother's arms, staring ahead with his sea-blue pupils open in a daze.
Seeing "Aiwass" looking over, the boy looked over with wide eyes.
"dad……"
He lowered his voice and whispered in a sweet voice: "You are distracted, Dad. You can't be distracted... you said so."
Aiwass was a little confused. He just nodded hastily and did not respond to little Aiwass, so he lowered his head and continued to pray.
Only then did he really react.
1884…
——Isn’t this 14 years ago?
Aiwass is eighteen years old this year. Fourteen years ago he was fourteen years old. That was the year his parents died.
He was so young that he couldn't remember why his parents died.
He couldn't even remember his parents' faces, let alone their names. But in his vague memory, there seemed to be such a scene...
He was sitting in his mother's arms, with many dark figures like giant trees in front of him. People were chanting something, but he was a little feverish, dizzy... and a little nauseous.
Julio…
Is this my father's name?
It turns out my mother's name is Annie...and I have a cousin named Lisa.
Then, they were all killed.
——The voice said, "Didn't do what they said." What did they say?
Why didn't they kill "Giulio" instead of "Aiwass"? But in real history, Aiwass was fine. It was Giulio and Anne who died - is there any difference here?
Although the apostle repeatedly emphasized that the content of the ceremony was fictional...it seemed familiar to Aiwass.
For a moment, he couldn't tell which ones were real and which ones were fiction.
First of all, you need to confirm...whether your vague memory is correct.
Thinking of this, Aiwass turned around, opened his eyes, looked at little Aiwass, spoke in a low voice, and asked softly:
"...Aiwass, do you have a headache now?"
"A little bit, Dad..."
The little boy responded obediently.
"What?"
Hearing this, his mother Anne was suddenly startled, opened her emerald green pupils, quickly reached out and covered little Aiwass's forehead, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"how?"
Aiwass immediately came over.
Annie frowned and tried her hand on her forehead again.
She was not very sure and said: "It seems... it's a bit hot. But I'm not sure..."
"It's okay, let me come."
Aiwass said warmly, taking his childhood self from Anne's arms into his own.
He reached out his hand and pressed the heart of little Aiwass.
——The art of lighting.
The next moment, light as soft as water immersed in his palm. Warm power poured into the body of "Little Aiwass" continuously.
Fortunately, they sat in the back row and did not disturb other people.
The moment he used the lighting technique, Aiwass immediately realized...the mana pool he was using now was not his father "Julio's", but his own.
A priest should have at least completed the first advancement. There is no way he only has this pitiful seven points of light attribute mana.
He poured in a full amount of mana before stopping his lighting technique.
Aiwass's mood became heavier.
Because he didn't feel any trace of disease in "Little Aiwass".
If it were anyone else, they might think that this was just little Aiwass's illusion, or that the child didn't want to be here and said it casually.
But precisely because it was Aiwass, he knew that "little Aiwass" not only didn't talk nonsense... but actually said it very conservatively.
He remembered.
At that time, his head felt dizzy, and it felt as if something solid was hitting his skull. His whole body felt hot and uncomfortable, and it became difficult to breathe. The breath exhaled through his nose seemed to burn his nasal cavity. It was just like when he had a cold.
, was rolled up tightly into the quilt, rolled up like a solid quilt strip, every beat of my heart was very clear, and it could be shaken all the way to my fingertips.
However, little Aiwass is a very strong child.
He sensed that his parents were very anxious, so he did not speak out about the troubles he encountered, but endured them silently.
Later, as a child, Aiwass gradually lost consciousness.
Seeing this familiar scene, the memory in Aiwass' mind was gradually completed over and over again.
More and more details are becoming clear:
He realized that the problem his "son" encountered was definitely not simple. It could make people faint and lose consciousness. This was a disease that could lead to death.
However, he did not find any disease in little Aiwass...
"Isn't it a disease?"
When his wife Anne saw this, she frowned worriedly.
She looked at her child and didn't know what to do.
He just came over uneasily, frowning and thinking, and raised a possibility: "I'm wondering... is there a possibility that the person who sent you the threatening letter actually used a curse?"
Hear this.
Aiwass's movements suddenly paused.
He looked deeply at his wife "Anne".
——The perspective and stance from which she said this are obviously wrong.
Aiwass held little Aiwass in his arms and buried his face in his chest.
Then, Aiwass looked at "Annie" and leaned into her ear.
He spoke softly and whispered word by word: "I think... you are 'Lulu', right."
Seeing Annie's emerald green pupils suddenly become panicked, she instantly tightened her legs and sat upright, subconsciously moving her body away from Aiwass.
Aiwass couldn't help but sigh, feeling inexplicably remorseful for bullying a child.
...It's really easy to guess.
At first glance, she looks like a girl who has never been a mother.
There are probably too many loopholes... Aren't you an "all-rounder" on the path to beauty? Are you an all-rounder who doesn't learn acting?
But the other way around.
It was precisely because he easily pulled out "Lulu" beside him that he truly realized that the ceremony had begun.
So he immediately cheered up.
Aiwass did not want to reveal that the child in his arms was "himself" when he was a child. Therefore, Aiwass did not show any anxiety or concern in his heart, but instead showed a confident and calm gentle smile.
With a little force, he gently pulled "Annie" who subconsciously leaned back to avoid Aiwass back to him.
"Don't move. If my guess is correct, your mission also involves 'acting', right... You are my wife now."
His low and magnetic voice sounded word by word in the ears of "Annie" who looked panicked:
"Don't be afraid, I am a fox.
"I think you definitely didn't choose to give up your 'dedication', right. I will protect you. This is exactly my mission."
……one.
Aiwass added in his mind.
After asking the editor, the new book issue has been updated so fiercely that it can no longer be put on the shelves on the 1st of next month, so it will be put on the shelves on the 23rd of this month! I will try to update as much as possible then!
