Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 748 Sign! You have to sign even if you don’t want to!
At this moment, on the other side.

Aiwass gave Aleister an "OK" reply.

Aleister also replied with a "1".

Aleister looked at the mirror and answered briskly, "Okay, everything has been arranged. Within an hour, a priest of bishop level will come here to personally preside over the funeral and bury his soul. If you don't want to be a demon that is suddenly discovered and be driven away by the bishop at the risk of his life, you'd better leave here in advance."

"…I've seen it. It's Bishop Mia Mueller, right?"

The Mirror Demon responded: "I just saw her suddenly get up and turn on the lights in the room."

His deep voice was full of praise: "You are so great, beyond my expectation. You can actually command a bishop... These devotees are very hard-core. Even the previous master and even the Count of Leipzig found it difficult to bribe them."

"is it?"

Aleister chuckled and said, "I don't think so."

Contrary to the Mirror Demon, Aleister believes that devotees are the easiest to bribe. Because devotees have a strong spirit of "selflessness", their vigilance is often weaker. Many devotees, or ordinary people who are adaptable to the path of dedication, are easily deceived for this reason...

The only difference is that a devotee who has awakened his true nature cannot be bought off by "wealth" and "fame." Because money only benefits him, and this is exactly what a devotee needs to abandon.

"To buy off a devotee, all you have to do is give them glory and honor."

Aleister said: "Tell them that you will be truly kind because of their great deeds; assure them that all the proceeds from this action will be donated to a certain group, and how much this will improve their lives; or just prove that your direction is right, but the road is difficult... In this way, you don't need to do anything, and the devotees will follow and sacrifice spontaneously."

"You even know this kind of forbidden knowledge! It's amazing!"

The Mirror Demon flattered with great proficiency: "I dare not even imagine what kind of evil deeds you have done to be able to control people's hearts so skillfully!"

It seems that for his former master, "evil" is a compliment. Therefore, the mirror demon did not hesitate to give this word to Aleister.

The crow on Aleister's shoulder showed a human-like expression of disgust and stared at the mirror with a frown.

As if considering where to strike down and destroy it.

...Because that guy is just that kind of person.

Aleister did not make any excuses, but instead thought about it in his heart with some disappointment.

She now also discovered that the cutting of the sand watch seemed to have a certain artistic style.

The two of them were really cut into the shape of yin and yang - yin with yang, yang with yin. Even as a transcendent individual, she still had the afterglow of the path of dedication in her heart; and similarly, as a completely dedicated person, Aiwass still had some transcendent soul in his heart.

She glanced at the mirror demon and said slowly: "You flatter me so much... Why, my dear little mirror. Don't you want to go back to the dream world?"

"More friends, more paths, sir - my former master didn't feed me much soul, but he taught me a lot about being a human being."

The Mirror Demon answered very skillfully: "I do want to return to the Dream World to rest for a while. After all, these eighty years of non-stop work are too hard to endure. But you have such great talent and such a strong desire to transcend. I think we may meet again in the Dream World in the future. That day may not be too far away, when you still remember me and I am still grateful to you.

"When that time comes, I can still serve as a host and take you to tour the beautiful land of the dream world. If you still have nostalgia, I can even take you back to the material world... This is a unique advantage of being a mirror demon. As a mirror demon, we can enter the material world for a short period of time even if we don't rely on signing a contract with the demonologists in the material world. I am very familiar with the various terrains of Star Antimony, and the apostles of the Sand Clock will definitely not be able to catch us here."

"Pfft..."

Aleister couldn't help laughing.

She covered her mouth, her eyes smiling as beautifully as a crescent moon. Of course, Aleister understood what the Mirror Demon said -

It's easy to understand after translation: "Sis, I think that with your great evil and recklessness, you should be close to death. With your strength, you will most likely ascend directly to become some awesome demon after death. I'll make myself familiar to you first, but don't eat me when the time comes. If you are strong enough, I'll be your little brother - we can sneak back to the material world together. I'm good at opening doors, and I'm a local snake in Star Antimony, so don't eat me."

Compared to the fear of being a supernatural being or even a transcendent being, the Mirror Demon is obviously more afraid of what Aleister will do after his death.

It's just like that classic joke - what ghosts am I afraid of? I'm usually so resentful, if I'm killed by a ghost, wouldn't I be even more resentful? It's hard to say who will be more powerful by then.

What does Pac-Man say? Pac-Man. When alive, he is chased by ghosts. When dead, he turns around and chases ghosts.

"I think you are right," Aleister said slowly, "You are absolutely right - more friends mean more paths, right?

"I may come to the dream world soon. Maybe next month, or maybe next year. But in any case... I think our relationship needs to be maintained more closely."

"...What do you mean?" the Mirror Demon asked cautiously.

The little crow on Aleister's shoulder was sharpening its claws ferociously.

"Let's sign a temporary contract."

Aleister finally revealed her purpose: "There is no compulsion, it is just a meaningless contract. The content of the contract is that both parties know each other's real name.

"This way, if I want to find you again in the future, I can use the ritual to locate you... right?"

"...I don't think this is necessary, sir. I can tell you any other questions you have - do you need to go to Alphonse von Pilotti's residence? I can teleport you there directly, saving you the time of walking!"

The Mirror Demon's voice became even more flattering.

The originally powerful and deep male voice now sounded like a eunuch's.

"That's not urgent."

Aleister calmed down instead.

She stared at the mirror and said slowly: “My suggestion is that it’s best to sign it - as a proof of our friendship.

"It's really a blank contract. If you don't believe me, decide for yourself."

The little crow suddenly perked up.

She stared at the mirror, her scarlet eyes looking like the abyss - this seemed to be a good excuse. If the other party refused again, she could just break the damn mirror.

——It’s just a mirror demon, don’t be so arrogant!

"...Okay, sir."

The Mirror Demon was silent for a while, but finally gave in: "I'll write it, I'll write it..."

It was still worried that Aleister would tamper with the contract.

Humans these days are much worse than demons!
