[The Bond of the Fox] Isn't it great to be friends with the same ideals?
The extraordinary path that means "acting" is named Tao in this world. However, no one is perfect, and even saints are not without faults. Extraordinary people who are supposed to follow the core principles of the path they are on may gradually forget their original intentions as time goes by. Any extraordinary person with dual-path adaptability has a level of mind and spirit that is far superior to ordinary people. Extraordinary talent, keen insight, and emotional intelligence that cannot be underestimated, this is the high praise that "Fox" Aiwass Moriarty and "Detective" Sherlock Hermes gave each other when they first met. Although Sherlock did not know the identity of the other party when they first met, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and being familiar with the character and habits of the other party also means that the reveal of the identity is a certainty. It is this recognition that makes two people whose life trajectories did not intersect much become partners who join forces to face ups and downs and challenges. When the relationship between each other goes beyond ordinary friendship, it is not an exaggeration to call it "bond". In the mansion, after solving the problem of Shadow Demon, Aiwass no longer needs to rely on a wheelchair to solve daily travel problems. Sitting on the reception chair, he asked with a hint of surprise the purpose of this rare visitor in front of him, "Mr. Sherlock, you and I. It has not been two months since we parted ways in the dream world. I wonder why you came here this time? " As far as Aiwass knows, some of the information and conjectures he provided to Sherlock in the dream world have been submitted to Queen Sophia, the current highest authority in the Kingdom of Avalon, after being integrated by the other party. Her Majesty the Queen, who is over fifty years old, obviously did not underestimate this seemingly insignificant intelligence. Under her authorization, all the resources of the Inspectorate of Glass Island were handed over to Sherlock for his continued investigation. Logically speaking, Sherlock should still be immersed in the office reading files. Could it be that the other party has made a new discovery? "Don't worry, Mr. Aiwass. The current investigation work is still progressing in an orderly manner according to my original plan. I think we will get the results reported by them in a few days. I came here to invite you to go to the countryside together." Sherlock chuckled, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, "Moriah The Ti family is indeed the unshakable founding family. This cup of coffee tastes much better than the bulk goods stocked by the Supervisory Bureau. " Aiwass waved his hand, "Just now the old butler informed me that you were coming to visit, so I asked him to bring out a portion of the coffee that my father had prepared for the distinguished guests." As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Sherlock, "You are one of the few. Young people who can be recognized by the steward must have this kind of etiquette. As for going to the countryside, you might as well elaborate. " Sherlock responded with a smile, "It seems that you are also very interested in my invitation just now. A secret report arrived a few days ago, and there are signs of "transcendence" roads in the countryside on the border of the kingdom. Considering that the border has been closed in recent days. The situation is tense, and the transcendent stationed there are not in a position to take action, so they plan to invite you to accompany them and treat it as a sightseeing trip." Aiwass nodded thoughtfully. The "transcendence" path has always been regarded as a taboo area in the Kingdom of Avalon. It is not a small matter to leave traces. He has recently recovered his ability to travel, so he will go with Sherlock. Aiwass snapped his fingers, "It is my duty as a member of the founding family to protect the safety of the kingdom. You can set a time." "Since you agreed, then prepare well in the past few days. We will set off in three days!" Xia Locke stood up and said goodbye, "Time is a little tight. I have to go back and speed up the investigation. The people in the Supervision Bureau are still not experienced enough." After declining Aiwass's offer to see him off, Sherlock followed the Oswald housekeeper who was waiting outside the door and left the Moriarty Mansion. After watching Sherlock disappear, Aiwass returned to his bedroom and planned the challenges he might encounter during his trip based on his current abilities revealed in the system. After all, he was going to the border to investigate forbidden things. Even though he and Sherlock were both dual-path extraordinary beings, he still couldn't afford to be cautious. Three days later, Aiwass said goodbye to Julia and the housekeeper Oswald, and asked the old housekeeper that if his father happened to return during this period, he would inform him of the matter so that he would not have to worry. Although Aiwass knew that the big things his adoptive father was currently doing made it difficult for him to escape, out of some special feelings, Aiwass decided to inform the old butler. "Let's go." Sherlock looked at Aiwass, who was walking towards him, and then glanced slightly sideways at Yulia and the old housekeeper who were still standing at the door of the mansion. "It seems that having relatives around you is also a big help to extraordinary people. No wonder you even Inheriting the profession of a pastor, I am based on the dual path of dedication and transcendence, and I have not forgotten my original intention. " "I am used to being alone, and my family and I get together less and less. Fortunately, it does not hinder the path." Sherlock said with a smile. "Emm, what are you talking about?" Aiwass glanced at him, "You live alone, how should you explain me as a friend? You used to treat me as a tool every day, right!" (Annoyed) "Hiss" Sherlock's face suddenly became a little uneasy, he smiled awkwardly and said, "My, my, this just touched the scene. Don't worry about it. Come on, let me tell you some of the results of my investigation in the past three days. " If the people in the Supervision Bureau saw this scene, they would be stunned. In their eyes, Sherlock has always been an unruly but extremely talented person, which is really difficult to get close to, let alone have a close relationship with. It can only be said that people who can be recognized by Sherlock are masters in both person and work. Because of this, although he and Aiwas are several years apart in age, they can still treat each other as equals and work together. The two came to the borderland, and first personally investigated all the locations mentioned in the secret report. In an abandoned warehouse, Aiwass noticed the aura of the "transcendence" path that had not yet dissipated in the surrounding environment. After careful inspection, a silver knife with dried blood stains appeared in front of them. "Finally found this trace, it's time to find someone to help locate the other person's location." Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief. Being a "transcendence" transcendent with a higher energy level than Aiwass is no longer a trivial matter. Although Sherlock and Aiwass did not hold any real positions of power in the Kingdom of Avalon, so they could not call for local assistance in their own names, but the royal token that Sherlock had prepared in advance and carried with him happened to be of great use in such a situation. As a token given by Her Majesty the Queen, the holder's status is equivalent to that of a member of the Avalon royal family. This is not only a reward for his talents in solving the kingdom, but also means the Queen's own recognition of Shylock. After seeing the token, the local area also sent a powerful transcendent with great care. After locating it with a knife, he led Aiwass and Sherlock to kill him in a very hidden place before the other party realized that he had been exposed. Adhering to respect for their identities, the transcendent person also politely gave them all the other party's legacy, and said that these items had not been explored. Having solved the problem, Aiwass felt relieved and participated in the farewell banquet prepared for them by the locals with Sherlock. The next day, he and Sherlock returned to the Glass Island. In front of Moriarty's mansion, Sherlock said goodbye to Aiwass, saying that when he went to the border this time, the Inspectorate also received a new batch of matters that needed to be dealt with, and he had better solve them as soon as possible. Sherlock also said seriously, "I will come to you after I analyze the final results of this investigation, and I will wait for a while. In any case, I have to thank Aiwass for accompanying me." "Since we are friends, there is no need to say more thanks," Aiwass smiled and waved his hand. Sherlock understood and said no more. He turned and left. Watching Sherlock drift away, Aiwass also turned back home. He didn't know how Yulia and his eldest brother were doing during the past few days when he was not in the mansion. When like-minded people put aside their usual solitary lives, they can create a unique bond between them through win-win cooperation and create a new life that they have never had before!
[The Bond of the Fox] Journey to the Fairy Kingdom
Suddenly, Aiwass and Lily seemed to feel something. But they didn't know what was going on. At this moment, the silver Pegasus at the feet of Aiwass and Lily stopped. Aiwass raised his head and looked in front of him. On the top of the floating island is a magnificent palace. On the outer wall of the palace, there are countless huge magic circles. They shone with light blue light, shining all the way to the center of the floating island, which was the main entrance of the palace. And in this location is a castle made of gold bricks. The castle is covered with red gems. Although it is daytime, it shines under the sunlight. At the four corners of the castle, there are rows of neat walls and towering buildings. The floating island where Aiwass and Lily are standing is on a high platform next to the main entrance of the castle. There are ten passages on the left and right sides of the high platform, and these ten passages are all closed by tall spires. In the center of these ten passages is a metal gate. The gate is three meters high and about three meters wide. On both sides of the door stood ten towering iron pillars, all of which were about one and a half meters high. The top of each pillar is also inlaid with a huge gem. Aiwass and Lily focused their attention on the metal door. At this moment, a gem suddenly appeared from above the metal gate, activating the teleportation array at Aiwass' feet, taking them to an unknown place. After teleportation, Aiwass and Lily finally reached their destination. This is a place full of mystery. In this mysterious space, there are many fairies, wearing gorgeous clothes and holding various instruments. They sit, lie down, lie down, stand, or crawl on the ground. Some fairies are dancing gorgeously on the ground; some are soaring and rolling in the sky; some are flying in mid-air; some are chasing and playing in the woods; some are walking around on the ground; and some are flying in the sky... This is the fairy kingdom. And Aiwass and Lily are now standing on an altar in the square. There is a huge magic circle in the middle of the altar. "Welcome to the Fairy Kingdom!" This is the voice of Fairy Queen Titania. Aiwass followed the sound and looked towards the sky. A fairy was floating above the altar. She was wearing a white dress and lying lazily on a cloud. There was a rope-like thing tied to her wings. These ropes were made of rubies and were very beautiful. "Children, I am very surprised by your arrival!" She greeted Aiwass and Lily softly: "Please allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Titania, and I am the queen of the Fairy Kingdom." As she said that, Titania stretched out her jade-white right hand: "I have heard about you from other children. Thank you for your help to the fairies. I am glad to meet you. I hope we can become friends. " Aiwass stroked his chest and saluted: "May the twin mirrors protect you, Her Majesty the Queen." The salutes of Aiwass and Lily meant that they had accepted the invitation of the fairies and became good friends with them. Titania smiled and shook her head: "Child, your experience is really missed." The goblins are all leaders in the path of beauty. The goblin queen is very knowledgeable in the path of beauty, so she naturally knows what happened before they came. "Then let's start the game?" Titania's tone suddenly changed: "In the game, you must try your best to ensure your own safety, otherwise you will be punished~" After saying this, Titania disappeared from the high platform. "Ah - familiar cutscene." Aiwass thought to himself. In his previous life, he often came to the Fairy Kingdom, a casual dungeon, with the girls on the list. He would not encounter danger, and he could have fun with the beautiful girls. No, Aiwass actually liked the atmosphere of the Fairy Kingdom dungeon, and it had nothing to do with whether there were girls or not.
Extra Background prequel Netizens who can't bear to look back on the past are really untrustworthy!
Never believe netizens! Especially netizens who you think are friends, but are actually not familiar with them at all. Recently, two netizens who have been exchanging occult knowledge with me for many years came to the Royal Capital and wanted to meet me. Since we have known each other for two years, I agreed to have sex in the bar without hesitation or caution. On that day, we had a great time chatting and drinking. The more we chatted, the more excited we became. We talked about a lot of taboo knowledge about occultism, and we continued chatting until late at night. At about ten o'clock in the evening, just when I wanted to go home, the bald male netizen said mysteriously: "It will take about an hour to set up the ceremony. It's already this o'clock. Do you want to come and try it in person?" In person? As soon as I heard this, I felt a little excited. As a talkative king on paper, although I am very curious about the taboo knowledge of occultism, I have never had the experience to experience it myself. It's rare to meet a true transcendent who is willing to let me participate in a real occult ceremony. I quickly agreed with excitement. However, after working for more than an hour, I finally realized something belatedly. This ritual seems to be a ritual to summon demons. To summon demons, you definitely need expensive materials as sacrifices. I didn't see the sacrifice at first, so I didn't realize anything was wrong. But as luck would have it, I, who had personally arranged the ceremony stage, seemed to have become a "voluntary sacrifice." Particularly, I am still a student at Wangli Law University's seminary and can become a priest before graduation. Even as a sacrifice, I am a high-quality sacrifice with extremely high standards. But... I don't want to be a sacrifice! When the ritual was activated and I was sacrificed at the critical moment of life and death, I finally awakened the memory of my past life, and was the first to recognize the species of the devil, and cut off the devil's contractual sovereignty. I controlled the demon and successfully killed the bald netizen who deceived me in a sneak attack. However, my situation did not become safer. Because summoning demons is a serious crime. Once the Royal Capital Supervisory Bureau discovers that the summoned demon has been contracted by me, even if I am the victim at the beginning, it is tantamount to committing a crime. Unless I am willing to terminate the contract and give up the devil. However, after awakening the memory of my past life, I know that this world is extremely dangerous, and only if I am strong enough can I ensure safety. Since the devil has been contracted by me, how can I give up? Therefore, I need to hide the fact that I contracted a devil from the Supervisory Bureau. Fortunately, because of my father's unusual status, the Supervision Bureau did not dare to go online. In the end, they just sent a senior internship student to investigate me. I checked the senior's information in advance and learned that the senior was from a commoner background. Although she was the chief of the academy, she had a straightforward personality and did not understand the twists and turns in society. Such people start to run into obstacles in society during their internship and become confused easily, so they are suitable for CPU. I asked a maid to put makeup on myself in advance, creating a face that seemed weak and pale due to blood loss. I sat in a wheelchair and read a book, pretending to be a weak and helpless little cat, to inspire my senior's protective desire and take care of her hidden inner sensitive inferiority complex. A "weak", "injured" and "handsome" superior will be completely under her control during the investigation. This will make the senior sister's subconscious no longer target me, who has an extraordinary background. When I awakened the memory of my past life, I laughed wildly in my heart: "Sister, let me teach you a truth - never believe netizens, and never believe my classmates." When the late senior finally came to investigate me, poor, weak and helpless, I took the initiative to retreat and politely asked: "Hello, this is the first time we meet." " ——Excuse me, are you here to arrest me? " #Amway Name Scene##Shepherd's Tantra#
[Amway Famous Scenes] I want to climb to the top step by step! &Resurrection! My sister
I'm going to die. In the ritual of summoning the devil, I became a sacrifice. Fortunately, I recovered the memory of my previous life. The dump truck is coming! Because I replied to the message from my wise boss while crossing the street, I got lucky. I traveled to a game made by my company. But... I didn't make the game, and I'm not familiar with the plot.

Analysis of the progress of "Shepherd's Tantra" from the perspective of setting
1. Disappearing attribute values First of all, it is a very inconspicuous setting, but perhaps it is a setting that Miao realized during the long-term serialization and therefore specifically discarded it - "Shepherd Tantra" has no specific attribute values. This may be something that many game novels fail to realize. To put it bluntly, novels are the art of imagination. The author uses words that are easier for readers to imagine to express the content, which naturally makes them more immersive. As for the attribute values, to be honest, readers are actually not sensitive to them. "A normal person's strength usually only has 5 points, but his strength is as high as 15 points" and "He punched a rock half a man tall in half." Both of these describe a person with supernormal strength, but the latter is obviously more graphic. Small details are the "margin of imagination", which allows readers to understand in a vague way at a pace more suitable for them, thus increasing the sense of immersion. From the ability values in "Mercury Blood" to decimal points, to integers in "Player Super Justice", to the non-visualization of abilities in "Shepherd Tantra", this may be a manifestation of Qi Miao's step-by-step pursuit of a better sense of immersion. 2. More upgrade methods The second is the modification of experience acquisition. In this world view, the proportion of experience acquisition through non-combat methods has increased, which greatly expands the possible development direction of the plot in "Shepherd Tantra". Game novels often preemptively incorporate the settings of our real-life games, so killing is used as the main means of gaining experience. However, in order to allow the protagonist to keep up with version iterations through the killing experience method, it is naturally necessary to add battle-related plots, and this undoubtedly limits the author's creation invisibly. In order to gain reasonable experience, the miscellaneous soldiers cannot always be bypassed, but just like our cloud games usually have cloud plots and cloud boss battles, but the enjoyment of repeated leveling is obviously far worse than the former, let alone this is a novel. By adding non-combat upgrade methods, the number of battles can be streamlined, and the content can be more focused on boss battles and dungeon decryption. It also has the function of allowing the protagonist to integrate into the world view and increasing the number of ways to shape the protagonist's image. 3. The addition of rituals and nightmares This is undoubtedly the product of Qi Miao after he finished writing "Player Super Justice". In the upper part, Qi Miao has already shown his excellent imagination and presented it with various rituals and secrets. Nightmare: Gallery is a classic among classics. It's a pity that the previous film "The Overturned Tower" was limited by its subject matter and was unable to take advantage of Qi Miao's strengths. In "Shepherd Tantra", these two settings return again, which can be said to be back within the scope of Qi Miao's expertise. These two settings can also be seen as an extension of the second point. 4. Summary——Game, but not just a game Qi Miao said in "Player Super Justice" that the reason for increasing the player settings is to increase the sense of distance, but now what "Shepherd Tantra" does is to reduce the game settings to reduce the sense of distance. Whether it is invisible ability values, complicated ritual knowledge, or advanced nightmares that were castrated during the game, when we review it, we will find that these settings are actually not "games". This may be the most suitable style that Qi Miao has found after serializing many works. The game-like part ensures its readability, while the non-game part can expand more of Qi Miao's ideas. It can be said to be a masterpiece that combines the advantages of the previous works. Games, but not just games, this may be the route that Qi Miao has found that best suits his style
Is Volume 2 considered a failure?
The pace of this book's original take-off is now like this. If we continue to explore such things as "divided self", "reasons for time travel", "conspiracy of pillar gods", "past and present lives", we will die even more miserably I'm not sure why the author wants to write these things. Is it because he has a literary illness or is the target customer just a niche audience? When I followed this book, there was another game about another world, with the same world view and complete setting. The same protagonist enters the game, and the same protagonist has personal charm. The reason why the performance of these two books declined and why I didn't read them is basically the same "The original omniscient protagonist of the main plot will suddenly encounter an enemy that he doesn't know about at all, and then the author starts to write crazy content about this." The protagonist's control over the plot is gone, and the protagonist's new abilities are not written. The daily routine is gone, and the emotional drama is gone. The existence of the Night Demon is not even 1% of the Shadow Demon, and the combat power does not show the pressure of the sixth level. I have forgotten that the Night Demon has other fighting methods besides blood rain. Or the author may have written it this way. Apart from using human bodies as sacrifices to cast curses, demonologists seem to have no choice but to summon demons and then act as cheerleaders. If there had not been a shadow demon as a big daddy from the beginning, the protagonist would most likely not have any fighting ability before changing jobs at the fourth level and contracting the first phantom demon. Why did Xiong Tiansi write it? He was branded inexplicably at the beginning of the second volume. The giant prince was killed in cooperation with Merlin, and it was even the ritual of Weizhe. Did he dare not move or didn't know, so he just stared at the protagonist? Then he was used as bait, and he completed a copy perfectly to watch the Crown Master kill Xiong Tiansi. Then you were branded before. What's the meaning of the seal? Just to draw out the plot of Crown Lord killing Xiong Tiansi, Lord of Scales and Feathers develops warriors? Even if the protagonist keeps playing soy sauce, it must be written? The Theocracy is too outrageous. I wrote a long paragraph where the protagonist turns out to be a chess piece, a remnant that was split, and then became a chess piece. The protagonist is fully capable only when he knows the main plot. When his adoptive father reveals something new, when Pillar God Tiansi reveals something new, the protagonist immediately believes it and then becomes at a loss. If someone offers an olive branch, he immediately accepts it and becomes a pawn. What about the protagonist's charm? It turns out that the sudden appearance of teammates is not because of the protagonist's personality charm, but because the protagonist himself is a fragment of Tiansi that will stir up the fate of others? What is the ultimate plan? Is the protagonist just an imbecile who is completely uncontrollable except for the main line he knows? Where is the dedication? Where is the transcendence? You should not write about "who am I", "where do I come from" and "where am I going to go"? You should write It is: What are the advantages of the Enlightener? What is the fighting method? Why is the Sin Scholar so strong that the protagonist sets the goal of ascending early? Where is the next big beast and when will it be harvested? What is the sacred module behind the Book of Law? Then use these things to fight Tiansi What is the Bull and Horse Ring Tiansi? What is the Bull and Horse Foster Father? What is the Bull and Horse Pillar God? In the end, it still depends on strength?
Early stage. The main character's charisma starts out great, but weakens significantly midway through. In the Avalon chapter, the protagonist has superior intelligence and is in control of everything. He changes the tragedy and becomes stronger bit by bit, which is full of charm. The image of a strong man who transcends himself and transcends the established future is great. However, in the Theocracy, the two roles of adoptive father and grandfather, and their plans, caused the protagonist's image to begin to collapse. The reader has a God's perspective. From the reader's perspective, the protagonist becomes a clown who can be played with by anyone, and anyone can do anything to you. There are too many conspiracies, which leads to the beginning of nesting dolls, but no violent means are used, which makes me feel frustrated. Logic is important, but what is more important is the excitement of the story and the creation of the characters. Xiong Tiansi's plot is not good. It seems that the protagonist is involved, but he is the same without him. It would be much more satisfying if the plot of the story were changed to the protagonist recruiting people to do Xiong Tiansi himself, instead of relying on the charity of the Lord of Linyu. The protagonist is a transcendent person. This may be due to the early shaping, which makes people think that the protagonist should be handsome and strong. Obviously it is the road to transcendence, the promotion of the scholar of sin, but the story does not have the flavor of transcendence, but is soy sauce. The rationality is enough, but the story is not exciting anymore. I feel that transcendence should be a madman and a tyrant. In the Star Staircase chapter, the novel depicts the protagonist, his inner weaknesses, etc. The impression is poor. There is no problem with logic. Protagonists are human and indeed vulnerable. But maybe the story of the monster is more attractive, because the posture of the strong makes people yearn for it.
I just sprayed it straight. It's not rubbish, but it's just an ordinary book. It's hard to understand how you can boast like this.
I read more than 150 chapters, and I really couldn't stand it anymore. It's not that the writing is terrible, but it just doesn't have any features that attract me to keep reading. It's not up to par with the airwaves. Works similar to this novel are Japanese light novels that are willing to stack settings, such as "Magic Forbidden". It just highlights that the setting is complicated and the plot progress is slow. The basis of the story is an amber flow, which is to travel to the game world with the game panel. The basis of the character is a high-IQ, sickly, beautiful boy + old Yin B, the basis of the aesthetic style is the Esoteric Cult simulator + PF rules, and the basis of the scene setting is the medieval aristocratic civilization + European war. It looks brilliant at first glance, but in fact almost every idea is poorly written, and even this patchwork is not original. As for the plot, is there any plot in this book? I would like to ask those readers who are following the book, are there any twists or surprises? Is there any foreshadowing that I didn't expect? Are there ups and downs? Anyway, I haven't seen it until chapter 150. All the foreshadowings can be guessed by a fool, and the whole story is told in a straight line. The most important epic feeling of Amber Flow is incredible. Just mention a few books from the past few years, "Lord of Mysteries", "Warlock's Manual", and "On High", they can all write good stories based on novel and grand settings. As a result, the recent books "Player's Super Justice" and this "Shepherd's Tantra" are all pure Biao settings. Sometimes after a whole chapter, a world view setting is added and then never used again. It's like making a game. In the game, you pick up an apple at random. There is a background story of thousands of words attached to the apple, but the only function of this apple is to eat it. Is this interesting? Readers who like this book, I suggest you play Genshin Impact or Star Iron. At least the item setting text of Genshin Impact is free, and sometimes the background stories are quite interesting to read. It costs money to read a book, so why bother?
