Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 19 The Temple of Silver and Tin

Haina froze for a moment, then realized what she had said with fear.

Fortunately, she asked Mr. Sherlock this question, not Director Kent!
"As for why I didn't enter the Supervision Bureau..."

Sherlock said lightly: "Because I and you are similar but different people, and I can't go far either—this world doesn't mean that the more talented and outstanding people can go higher. When I graduated Understood this."

"……What's the meaning?"

"It means I'm the same as you. I'm more inclined to other paths than authoritarian paths."

The black-haired young man said frankly without any fear: "What I asked for from Mr. Kent was the mysterious book on the path of wisdom. I helped him deal with problems, and he banned the book for me in his own name—this is a fair trade for mutual use." .Now, my second path is almost reaching the second energy level...Compared with the path of authority, the path of wisdom is the path I really yearn for."

"but……"

Haina wanted to say something else.

But her intuition was suddenly touched.So she immediately showed vigilance and kept silent.

After the two faced each other in silence for five or six seconds, a panting middle-aged man ran over from the corner.

"Haina—I finally found you, I've been looking for you for a long time! Hey, Advisor Sherlock is here too! Great, the director is looking for you!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Kent?"

Sherlock asked bluntly: "I have other things to do now."

"He didn't say . . . but I think you'd better go and see. It won't take long, will it?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "You also know, Mr. Sherlock - if it is something boring, Mr. Director will not specially invite you to come, right?"

"alright."

Sherlock nodded in agreement.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Haina at the side: "This is another reason.

"I'm an active person. If I have nothing else to do, I get restless...but if I'm asked to do mundane, repetitive tasks, I get bored. I need problems and strong enemies to excite me.

"Your daily patrols are too boring. With that time, I might as well read a few more books and do some experiments. Even if I travel alone like a wandering monk, it is more meaningful than the repeated days .

"I don't want fame, and I don't want merit. I just want to be able to use my intelligence to work, to vent my energy that has nowhere to evaporate-and to satisfy my curiosity by the way. This is why I cooperate with you."

"All right, Mr. Sherlock."

The middle-aged man smiled wryly: "You'd better leave quickly - the sooner you finish listening to Mr. Director's mission, the sooner you can do your own thing, right?"

Sherlock was noncommittal and walked towards Director Kent's office.

the other side.

In the center of Glass Island, the capital of Avalon, is a clear and transparent lake like sapphire.

The royal family of the Kingdom of Avalon lived on the island within the island——in the middle of the island in the middle of the lake in the capital Glass Island.It was the Temple of Silver and Tin with its glass steps, blessed by the Dragon of the Silver Crown.On a sunny day, it glows with a bright flame, and even on an overcast day, it emits a dreamlike soft glow.

In the Palace of Silver and Tin, a girl with blond hair and blue eyes who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old was quietly flipping through today's "Glass Stairs".

She seemed to have elven blood, so she looked younger than she really was.With a gentle face and a straight back, the smooth nape exposed by the dress reflects the sun's brilliance together with the silver and tin temple where she lives.She has a quiet temperament that belongs to a literary girl, and her eyes are as calm as water.

And an elf who looked 30 years old, with the mature charm of a woman and the innocence of a girl at the same time, was sitting opposite the girl with her hands on her cheeks and a smile on her face.She has an obvious artist temperament - that is not an illusion, but the influence from the way of beauty.

"Did I lie to you, my little princess?"

The elf artist said with a smile: "I told you yesterday that I saw a very handsome man. I specially reserved for him a full 12 seconds this time just to keep that crucial smile back.

"My aesthetics are absolutely fine - that smile is the key to retaining his charm to the greatest extent. To be honest, I even want to draw a picture of him. But I don't feel in a hurry for this moment, there must be a follow-up opportunity to meet him."

"……really."

The girl nodded quietly: "Ms. Yanis is right. Mr. Aiwass's smile reminds people of the sun.

"I'm the same age as me, the same level of path, and I can personally lead people to arrest a demon scholar who is much stronger than myself... The investigation, judgment, and reasoning in the process are all without mistakes. Very powerful and brave.

She said softly: "I can't do it. Because I'm timid."

There was yearning and despair on the girl's face.

——It is the longing that a sober and kind person sees from the bottom of his heart when he sees a person of the same kind who is much stronger than himself; and the fact that he is not jealous or deceiving himself, but honestly recognizes that he is far inferior to the other party When depressed.

"He's amazing."

the girl repeated.

"what--"

Seeing her like this, Yanis lovingly—and at the same time slightly crazy made a sound like teasing a puppy, stuffed the girl into her arms and rubbed her hair vigorously a few times: "Little Isa, You are so cute!"

"Please call me Isabel, Miss Yanis."

Isabel snorted, reached out to cover her hair and said seriously: "Also, please don't mess with my hair——

"Also, I don't know how cute I am. I'm obviously just telling the truth."

"You're cute as long as you're cute on occasions like this where serious explanations don't need words at all."

"Sounds so stupid. I'm an idiot."

Isabel was a little annoyed and a little disappointed: "I can't even draw well."

"You're already a genius, Isabel."

When talking about this topic, Yanis became serious: "It's just that the people you come into contact with are more talented than you.

"Isn't your path of beauty about to advance? It's amazing to be able to touch the second energy level at this age... And when I teach you, I use a path with a more solid foundation, so that you can start a little It’s late, but we can go further in the future.”

"I think it's just because my father is Prince Albert."

Isabel lowered her head and said softly: "I am nothing special.

"If Mr. Aiwass is also a prince, he will go earlier and farther than me."

"Aiwass is a special case. You don't have to think too much. Even Her Majesty the Queen read the newspapers and said that he is a great young man... There is no need for you to compare with this kind of person."

"...Grandma too?!"

Isabel was shocked: "Grandma rarely praises people... Is that demon scholar so powerful?"

"It's not fighting, or even searching ability. What Her Majesty values ​​is his decisiveness when he fired those two shots. As a result, although these two shots only killed a second-level demon scholar, they actually showed that What is shown is his outstanding and quick judgment, the kind of self-confidence that absolutely believes in his own judgment, and his stable execution.

"Her Majesty the Queen said that he has the style of a general. Don't even think about it. She must have nodded her head, so I dared to put him on the front page and write such a large page. It is because Her Majesty said , let the young people in the kingdom learn—although I don’t think they will be able to learn, but it’s good to let everyone see the handsome and beautiful boy.”

Yanis shook her head helplessly: "You only compare with the strongest people, but every time you can't compare, you immediately feel inferior and retreat. It's time to get rid of it."

"I think that if you want to compare with your peers, you must compare with the strongest group."

Princess Isabel said seriously: "Because I enjoy the best resources, if I can't be the best, it is a waste of resources. They should be able to be given to those who need them more."

"……You."

Yanis sighed, feeling that Princess Isabel was amazingly stubborn.

"By the way, Miss Yanis."

Isabel asked suddenly: "What did Mr. Aiwass see at that time? What was he waving at?"

"Actually, I'm not there either."

Yanis shook her head: "But I asked the videographer. He said it was a little girl selling flowers nearby.

"The girl called him 'very gentle big brother'. I think he bought a bouquet of flowers from her very politely before. Aiwass is indeed a very polite boy-if you have the opportunity, you can Invite him to sit at the Palace of Silver and Tin. Talk about the story that happened at that time, and what he thought and how he judged... I think it must be very interesting. And Her Majesty the Queen should allow it.

"—You must be looking forward to it too, Isabel?"

Isabel didn't reply, but just clenched her small fist slightly, and opened her beautiful emerald-like eyes with yearning like a child.
