Chapter 1245: The Day of Separation

After extracting the memories preserved by the pastor, Aiwass handed the phantom card left by the pastor back to Prodino.

It has lost its uniqueness and turned back into pure equipment.

Aiwass could even imagine why the shepherd chose to store his memories on this card - it was precisely because of its extraordinary power and extremely portable size that it was preserved so completely to this day.

This idea is the same as Aiwass's.

If Aiwass were to become a lich and choose his own life box, he would definitely not choose an extremely sturdy metal box or a tiny grain of sand... but rather an extremely rare national treasure.

It's impossible to say which approach is definitely better, because any hiding method can be cracked, just like every question has its answer.

This can only be done by judging each other's character through their subconscious first choice.

Not only did the pastor's choice agree with Aiwass... If the "holy entity" is also considered as this kind of treasure, then Huantiansi actually made the same choice.

With this card, perhaps Prodino's life could be saved.

Aiwass did not want to use frivolous words like "It's too dangerous to do this" to persuade Prodino to survive and solve the problem entirely by himself - as the saying goes, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.

Generations of veterans sacrificed themselves to get Aiwass to this point, and he didn't want to use the same excuse to stop others from choosing their own path to the end.

That would be like denying Aiwass's own path.

After that, Aiwas asked Zhu Tang to take Mu and secretly leave Shengquan City and head to Taichu under the cover of night.

In a few days, before the Tail Ring Ceremony begins, martial law will definitely be imposed here. Furthermore, the Red Hands are gradually closing in, so if we want to escape, it's best to do so as soon as possible.

After this separation, until Aiwas defeats Huan Tiansi and Xuwu... I'm afraid we won't see each other again.

To commemorate the separation, Mu and Prodino personally cooked a meal for Aiwas.

This Horus monk, who had taken a vow of silence and never spoke, was reliable enough. Unlike Zhu Tang, he had never talked with Aiwass all night long... but they had also experienced life and death together.

Before they left the Tower of Babel, Mu and Prodinos had prepared a feast to celebrate their survival.

But that time, the Fallen Angels had just arrived and the food was not ready yet. Aiwass left in a hurry because he was worried about Yulia and Isabel who were still in the Star Antimony Territory. He only had time to pack some snacks.

It was such a pity to miss that dinner.

Some of them have run out of fate and will never meet again.

And now, the time has come for them to part ways.

"Mr. Mu's craftsmanship is really good."

Aiwass exclaimed.

This wasn't a compliment—Mu's food was surprisingly delicious. In Aiwass's opinion, it was far more reliable than the chefs at Avalon's palace or the Moriarty family's!

Aiwass and Zhu Tang tacitly agreed not to leave each other's contact information or addresses. After all, they were both extraordinary ritualists. If they were lucky enough to complete their respective affairs and survive, there would naturally be plenty of ways to contact each other.

They gathered together, eating and drinking. The wine jug that Zhu Tang had processed with ritual magic seemed to be able to pour out an endless amount of wine, and no matter how much they drank, they could never finish it.

Aiwass and Zhu Tang laughed and cursed, commenting on Anxi's fall without any scruples, discussing the past and the future together, and chatting about the secrets of the gods as gossip.

Lily and Haina also stayed nearby, drinking quietly and watching the two of them.

From the time night falls and the stars rise until the crescent moon hangs high in the sky, the night is already halfway through.

There was no sound, and no one reminded that "time is up" - after a certain topic ended, there was a tacit silence of three seconds, and then Zhu Tang stood up and left with a big laugh.

There was no hug or goodbye. Aiwass simply toasted him with a glass of wine from a distance.

Mu, who couldn't drink or talk, stood by from the very beginning, quietly looking at the moon.

When he saw Zhu Tang leaving, he turned around and saluted Aiwas respectfully, then turned around and left beside him.

"Your flagon!"

Seeing that the wine jug on the table was not taken, Haina immediately reacted and wanted to pick it up and give it to Zhu Tang.

Zhu Tang just laughed heartily and waved his hand without even turning his head.

"I bid you farewell in the sea of ​​sand, the wine still fresh, and I solitary boat ascends the Tianshan Mountains."

Zhu Tang swaggered forward, laughing at the top of his lungs: "If we ever meet again in my hometown, I'll trade the galaxy for wine money!"

Haina stared at him as he left, her pupils trembling slightly.

Aiwass glanced at Haina and reminded her, "Don't you want to follow? This may be your last chance."

Although Haina wanted to accompany Aiwas to the promotion... but in a few days, Yuan Tiansi would descend. By then, Aiwas might not be able to protect her... There was no doubt that it was safest for her to leave with Zhu Tang and the others at this moment.

Although Zhu Tang had been demoted several times, he was still considered a prominent figure in Taichu. He could at least protect Haena for a few months. When everything was over, Aiwass could take her back.

But Haina was silent for a while and shook her head.

She didn't say anything, but just sighed softly: "How free and easy...Mr. Zhu."

"Are you jealous?"

Aiwas smiled, took Zhu Tang's endless wine flask, and poured another glass for Haina: "To courage."

"Respect justice."

Haina raised her glass, saluted Aiwass from a distance, and drank it all in one gulp.

She was surprisingly good at drinking—a fact she inherited from her teacher, Ligeia. Perhaps because there wasn't much good wine to be found in Avalon, or perhaps because she felt embarrassed to drink in front of Ligeia, Haena had never revealed this before.

It was only when they went to Holy Spring City together that Haina showed her love for wine.

Rather than saying Zhu Tang's wine flask was left for Aiwas, it would be more accurate to say it was left for Haina. Aiwass really didn't drink much, and the only thing he was particularly interested in was Sacred Tree No. 1—a wine brewed from the sap of a giant tree, also known as the Apostle's Blood Wine.

But the reason why Aiwass was attracted to it was not because of its richness or rarity, but because it was the wine that Isabel and Aiwass drank on their important day... and it was also the first bottle of wine they drank together.

Rather than the sweet wine, what makes Aiwas addicted is perhaps the intoxicating love.

"Justice..."

When Aiwas heard what Haina said, he just laughed and shook his head.

He looked at Haina and said softly, "Since you don't plan to leave... then you should do what you have to do. Whether it's tracking down the baker or killing him.

"Do whatever you want. I will protect you. Just..."

Aiwass said softly, raising his glass to her: "In the name of justice."

Haina looked into Aiwas's pupils.

His pupils were so bright and clear, without any shadow or wavering.
