March 2, morning.
On the second day of the meeting with the cardinals. After Aiwass woke up, he was doing his daily morning prayers.
The biggest difference after signing the contract with the Lord of Scale Feathers is probably that there is an extra link in daily prayer - after finishing praying to Si Zhu, you have to pray about your contract again. The Lord of Main Scale Feather performs an additional round of prayer.
Of course, it doesn’t have to be too respectful, nor is it too troublesome.
In fact, it is nothing more than making a report to the Lord of Scales and Feathers every morning, reporting on the itinerary, seeing when the boss's power may be needed, and making an appointment; and then giving a two-sentence summary at night, if Once you have used the power of the Lord of Scales and Feathers, you will be reimbursed, restore the charge of your own path crystal, and finally give a polite compliment and that's it.
In a sense, it is more "feeling" than praying to Si Zhu.
The priests’ daily prayers to Si Zhu never received a reply from Si Zhu. In essence, it is similar to punching in and signing in at get off work. It is normal for the clocking machine to respond as usual after clicking.
——You can’t ask the time card machine to become a genius and suddenly say to you in a powerful voice: "Good morning, Night City!"
But you can do this Looking forward to the reaction of the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
"Good morning, Night City!"
The Lord of Scales and Feathers shouted energetically in Aiwass' mind.
"So what is Night City..."
Aiwass closed his eyes and complained in his heart.
“Tsk.”
The Lord of Scale Feathers smacked his lips: “Whenever you go and kill Huan Tiansi, you can catch me.”

"Was I such a strange person before?"
Aiwass thought casually: "I always feel that the mysterious aura of Huantiansi is gradually breaking..."
< p>"Oh, by the way, Aiwass."The Lord of Scale Feather suddenly said: "By the way, if you need to use the [Gap of Two Instruments], it's best to do it one or two days in advance. Just tell Sand Clock."
"Why?"
"You have seen Lily being divided. You should know that this thing is quite harmful to the body. You have completely separated the soul essence and rested for a day or two. I have already considered the situation when you have the [Soul of Dissolution]."
"Okay..."
Aiwass responded casually: "I've written it down."
If nothing else, at least after mastering advanced divine arts, Aiwass felt that his mental state was a little more stable - somewhat Sometimes, having an extra "friend" who can complain about something at any time is much more comfortable than being alone in a daze.
Of course, it may also be because his path has returned to a balanced state again.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of Aiwass's room.
As Aiwass opened his eyes, from the state of prayerquit. The chilly feeling, as if he were wearing slightly damp single clothes under a cooling air conditioner, faded from his body.
The flame butterfly that sat on the burning candle shook off the flames again and flew back to Aiwass's shoulder.
"What's the matter, Lily?"
Aiwass didn't look back, but asked directly.
He didn't hear any footsteps the whole time.
The one who knocked on the door at this time was either a ghost or Lily.
After coming back yesterday, Aiwass thought for a long time about whether to tell Lily herself about the fate she was carrying.
In terms of controllability, it is definitely better not to say anything. Once Lily starts to think wildly, things may change.
However, Aiwass decided to respect Lily more.
Not to mention the "little lamb Selene" who has no human intelligence, but Aiwass does not just regard Lily as his personal maid... To be honest, as Aiwass , in fact, the service and protection of a personal maid have long been no longer needed. He still took Lily with him, just because Lily stubbornly recognized this identity and was unwilling to leave Aiwass.
Lily is a close friend who is almost a relative and an elder to him - although part of Aiwass's memory has been confused, and the things his sister Freya did have been transferred to Lily... But even if In this way, Lily is still someone whom Aiwass trusts very much.
The same level of trust as Yulia and Edward.
So Aiwass decided not to make decisions for Lily, not to make decisions for her... but to directly tell her the truth.
Including the identity of the child of the beast, including her animalistic instincts, including the danger that Gray Tiansi may take her away at any time. As well as Aiwass getting the letter of introduction and preparing to go to Star Antimony to help her solve the problem - these things were all told to Lily.
And Lily is much calmer than Aiwass thought.
Because Lily is very smart.
As a personal maid, just by using the knowledge gained from reading books in her spare time, she can directly and seamlessly connect to the knowledge of the university class without falling behind... This is enough to prove her intelligence. with excellence.
Lily had already guessed most of it from the moment Cardinal Cyril separated her and Selene from Aiwass.
——And the result was even better than she imagined.
At least Aiwass will not abandon her, nor let her receive a seal or "treatment".
Lily is actually ready to give up her power...but if possible, she still hopes that she can continue to retain her extraordinary abilities.
At the beginning, she hoped that she could obtain extraordinary power because she wanted to help and protect Aiwass. She hoped that she would be useful to Aiwass... At that time, she was even so extreme that she regarded herself as an emotionless tool.
Now, she wants to continue to protectShe has extraordinary abilities...largely because she wants to do so. Just as she longed to study back then, Lily now also wants to be able to seize her own destiny - when she learned that she was selected by Gray Tiansi, Lily felt a strong feeling of being bound by fate.
Only with your own power can you decide your own destiny.
She is unwilling to give up. Instead, he planned to cooperate with Aiwass' plan and continue to walk forward and take a look.
The frankness and respect brought relief to both of them - after knowing the specific source of the disaster, Lily became much more determined.
——As for her murderous nature, Lily accepted and admitted it very calmly.
Obviously, Lily had already noticed something was wrong with herself long before Aiwass mentioned this. Not only was she aware of her animalistic consciousness, she even independently developed the technique of suppressing instincts by adapting to the path.
Now that Lily has been separated into two bodies, she no longer has such a strong murderous intention. But this desire for destruction and murder did not disappear, but was completely transferred to Selene.
Selene’s sheep eyes are proof that she is the child of the beast.
Aiwass was also very pleased after learning that Lily was determined to fight against Gray Tiansi to the end.
What he fears most is that Lily will give up on herself and come up with some strange ideas, or give up on her random thoughts. Just like an old man who has been hospitalized for a long time, he thinks "not to cause trouble to his children" and starts to work hard, but it may cause even greater trouble.
But now, Lily has a firm will to live and is willing to fully cooperate with Aiwass' plan according to her own wishes - this is enough.
In a sense, Lily at this moment is finally regarded as Aiwass's companion, instead of his servant or his little maid.
