Chapter 305: Recovery
They originally wanted to wait for the pastor to wake up before leaving, but the old pastor waited until late at night and still didn't wake up.
This is quite unusual.
Aiwass even doubted the power of his lighting technique. He confirmed it again and found that his body had indeed recovered... but he had indeed fallen into a coma.
So Aiwass went upstairs himself and found that even if he left the range of the light, he no longer felt the coldness all over his body.
He knew that the Night Riders had left.
I don’t know what the final battle outcome was on the Wild Hunt King’s side.
Aiwass could only clasp his hands together and hope that the punishment demon was okay.
The four of them discussed it, and ultimately only the energetic Haina continued to keep vigil, waiting for the pastor to wake up and explain to him that "your house is gone." The others went to find a place to sleep upstairs.
Although the shock wave and flames from the little butterfly's self-explosion had destroyed a lot of places upstairs, and it looked like ruins at first glance... but with Sherlock's earth-attribute wall-repairing spell, it was still no problem to find a place to sleep.
Lying on the pastor's bed, Aiwass was still a little confused about the reasoning he had thought of before.
...If there are fragments of Lancelot's soul in Haena's body, then what does this mean to him?
After thinking for a long time, Aiwass closed his eyes, made up his mind and lay down.
——Forget it, love whoever you want.
After all, it's just speculation, there's no way to prove it and no evidence - and even if it's true, it doesn't mean you can't survive.
It's just one more truth he has to pursue.
Jacob's death, who killed his parents, whether his adoptive father James is good or bad, what is James pursuing, why did he become the boss later... Now Aiwas has probably understood 70% of the first two questions, but there are two new questions - "Where does my memory come from" and "What does Jacob want to do."
Before this, Aiwass actually instinctively wanted to avoid this question.
Because he didn't know how he came to this world, he could only take this "travel" or "rebirth" for granted, just like he could only assume that his system had a "built-in cheat code."
It wasn't that he ignored the problem, but it was pointless to think about it. If you were faced with a problem you absolutely couldn't solve, it would be better to adjust your mindset and stop fighting with yourself.
But now, Aiwass found that all of this seemed to be related...
Then he can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Anyway, he is not as helpless now as he was at the beginning.
——He obtained the "Shepherd's Secret Sutra" and is now about to become a double third-level extraordinary person. The experience he has accumulated allows him to try to advance to the fourth level as soon as the CD is ready.
By the time he went to study in the Church, his Priest class would have reached the fourth level, completing his first class advancement. The Demonologist could also advance to the Great Sinner. The Butterfly might have reached the fifth level, and the Shadow Fiend could try to help it advance.
He was currently the future head of the Moriarty family, and a minister without portfolio appointed by the Queen herself. Once his status was lowered, he would be able to ascend the glass steps and enter the Round Table Room. He also had a close relationship with the future Queen, Isabel, and even, with the Queen's suggestion, could influence Isabel's policies.
Under his influence, both Isabel and Sherlock are much stronger than in the original world line.
The Glass Island serial bombings did not happen, the biggest spy in Star Antimony was found and killed by him, Lily did not die at the hands of her father as in the original plot, Lloyd's was also reorganized by him, and the Noble Red, who had been arrogant for two major versions, was chased by him like a dog...even Meg did not die, and the Shadow of Avalon ceremony should be able to end.
——The future has been clearly changed by him.
In the first version, Avalon was destroyed; in the second version, Avalon had warlords fighting each other; in the third version, Shadow Tiansi was defeated and the country was officially restored - these things should not happen again.
In other words, the main storyline of the first three versions of the game has been completely destroyed by Aiwass.
He had only been here for two months, but he had already completely led the world towards another possibility.
Back then he was very weak and couldn't affect anything. Now he is very strong.
Although there are many things in the future that may make Aiwas's "prophet" ineffective... and what he will face next is the conspiracy of the apostles and celestial officials, and the game with other powerful countries, but he himself has also become stronger.
There's nothing to be afraid of. Everything is going well.
But he couldn't stop - if he became lazy, new, unknown and unpredictable crises might catch up.
Aiwass didn't know if it existed, but he always felt uneasy.
In this situation, there is no room for confusion and depression.
He is a man who is going to do great things.
Now many people are relying on him, he cannot fall down, let alone show weakness and hesitation.
Aiwass calmed his mind and forced himself to fall asleep quickly.
But he only slept for four hours before he was woken up by Haina, who looked frightened.
"Something terrible has happened, Aiwass! Wake up!"
Haina whispered in Aiwas's ear, and then used her hands to quickly pat Aiwas' chest and abdomen through the quilt as if beating a drum, which sounded surprisingly rhythmic.
Aiwass woke up immediately.
"What's up……"
Aiwass frowned and stood up.
He hadn't taken off his clothes last night, so his sleep wasn't particularly good, and he still had a slight headache... but at least the mana he'd consumed after the battle was almost fully recovered. He'd drink a sip of Fire Sacrifice Milk and then pray for his mana to recover, and he'd be back to top form.
But he had just gotten up, glanced around—and knew what had happened.
The house that was in shabby condition last night suddenly became brand new.
It was as if the explosion and fire had never happened. Even the mud wall that Sherlock had patched up on the outside wall had disappeared.
And the old pastor also woke up.
As soon as he saw Aiwass, he thanked him: "Thank you very much. Especially thank you, young priest. May the candlelighter bless your candle. Your kindness will be rewarded in the end."
Aiwass got up from the bed, covered his forehead and smiled as he chatted with him for a while. He found out that after he woke up, he came to Aiwass to thank him the first time.
The old pastor was also grateful - he realized that Aiwass might not have slept well, so he took the initiative to use illumination magic on Aiwass and soothe his spirit.
He left satisfied only after Aiwass's headache subsided. He let Aiwass rest for a while while he prepared breakfast for everyone.
And Aiwas also grabbed Haina.
"When did it happen?"
Aiwass asked.
He was referring to the sudden restoration of the room and the old priest's recovery.
Haina hesitated for a while, then finally sighed and admitted in a low voice: "I don't know."
"How could you not know?"
Sherlock's questioning voice came from the doorway of the room. He had obviously been awake for quite some time. He got up immediately after hearing the movement from Aiwass's side.
I don’t know if he didn’t sleep well or if he didn’t sleep at all, but he’s used to it anyway.
The professions on the Path of Wisdom are all quite demanding, physically speaking. Therefore, those on the Path of Wisdom require the use of "meditation" to quickly restore mental and intellectual energy... The "Empty and Clear Tantra" that Sherlock mastered is an ancient version of meditation. While it's more difficult to learn and more limited in its effectiveness, it also provides a greater boost in energy.
So he won't die from being trapped anyway, so there's no need to worry.
"I just lost my mind..."
Haina said helplessly: "When I reacted, it was already daybreak outside. Everything around me had returned to normal. Even the pastor grandfather had woken up without me knowing when.
"He said he wanted to thank Aiwass and came straight up. I got up before that because I shouted, 'Let me wake him up.'"
"You don't have to wake me up."
Aiwass looked strange. "I think the old priest might just want to use illumination magic on me so that I can sleep better."
And Sherlock noticed something else: "You mean, you haven't explained to the priest what's going on here?"
"right."
Haina confirmed, "I got tired from walking and lay down on the table for a while. When I looked up, I saw the sunlight coming in from outside, and the pastor was walking upstairs. So I definitely didn't say anything."
"That means he was still conscious even after he fell into a coma... That explains why he was unconscious for so long."
Sherlock pondered, "The person being treated by Aiwass should wake up soon. Unless he's already awake, but his body can't wake him up."
Haina still felt a little guilty: "Ah, aren't you going to discuss my problem of being distracted?"
"You can't control yourself, what's the point of saying it."
Sherlock gave her a look of disdain.
Aiwass thought for a moment and gave a more precise answer: "Your distraction may be the same as your inability to perceive the passage of time... It's not that time reverses and passes after you lose focus, but that the passage of time suspends your ability to act.
"I actually thought about this last night. I was seriously injured in the explosion, so why did the pastor on the second floor only look like he was unconscious? So is there a possibility that he was actually killed in the explosion and just looked unconscious?"
Aiwass said slowly, "Just as this house cannot be destroyed by external forces... perhaps the villagers cannot die due to reasons other than the passage of time.
"—Because this is an engraved village. These nameless, forgotten people repeat their daily lives over and over again, day after day. Like those indestructible trees, they have all been solidified in amber..."
At this point, Aiwass suddenly realized the problem.
I see.
That's why Jacob rebuilt all the houses for the villagers.
Because only "reconstruction" with the active participation of villagers is the only way to change the layout of village houses!
