After both parties tacitly demonstrated their abilities, goals and wishes, Aiwass and Shadow Demon temporarily reached an agreement.
As the shadow demon sneaked back into Aiwass's shadow again, the shadow that spread like silt throughout the bar was sucked back into the shadow under Aiwass.
Just like a swimming pool with the drain opened, the shallow lake of shadow soon became "dry".
The warm winter sunshine shines in again, filling the bar room.
It was as if the moist shadow just now was just an illusion.
--very good.
Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, the four most important things have been done.
Completed revenge for Aiwass, killed the "friend" who betrayed him; successfully eliminated his own evidence; obtained the next clues for investigation; awakened and appeased the shadow demon.
Now, it’s time to have fun opening the treasure chest!
Aiwass listened carefully and found that Haina was still searching below and did not go upstairs.
——It’s time to lick the bag!
He rubbed his hands eagerly and began to search for his trophies.
Aiwass quickly found a small round box about the size of a thumb, which looked like cooling oil. There was a crescent moon pattern with a human face etched on it, and a line of small words marked below "1886-03-071, Living Silver Workshop"
”.
This thing looks familiar to him.
This is a dose of Drunken Dream Tincture, a specialty of the Star Antimony Kingdom.
"Good stuff. A good start."
Aiwass raised the corners of his mouth slightly and put it into his pocket.
Drunken Dream Tincture is a potion that stabilizes dreams and anesthetizes the body so that it is less likely to wake up. It is an alchemical product of the path of balance. It can also be used as an anesthetic for surgery, but its main purpose is to
Here are auxiliary drugs used to enhance the success rate when advancing.
In Xianxia novels, it is roughly equivalent to a foundation-building pill. When the level is low, the increased breakthrough success rate is quite impressive.
Drunken Dream Tincture is known as the "little promotion potion" among players. It can increase the success rate of promotion ceremonies. It is probably similar to the magic potion that can increase the success rate of strengthening in classical MMORPGs that can strengthen and build equipment.
In terms of settings, to advance to a professional level, you have to enter a dream and perform a complex dream ritual with a very high failure rate. But in the game, it is determined by a cold promotion success percentage, and some special rituals or materials are prepared.
This can increase the success rate.
If you succeed, you will advance successfully after a burst of special effects, and the upper limit of the professional level will be increased by ten levels. Then three entries will pop up for you to choose one of the three.
This is the path characteristic obtained when the promotion is successful.
If you fail, you will be kicked back to level 19. If the player has no materials, he can just prepare a new ritual to advance; for NPC, if the advancement fails, he will have to wait for another cooldown that increases with the level and becomes longer and longer, at least half of the time.
moon.
Veronica is now a level 19 demonologist and is about to advance to the next level; or she may have failed several times, so she prepared Drunken Dream Tincture for herself.
Judging from the number of ritual spells she has mastered, she should have stayed at the second level for a long time - when the level cap is locked, the skill level can still be improved as usual, but the profession will not be further upgraded.
Already.
Aiwass's current promotion from the first level to the second level is not difficult, and he is basically sure to succeed. There is no need for it yet.
He can use it later when he is promoted from level 19 to level 20.
And because Aiwass is pursuing two paths at the same time, he has to eat two portions.
Zuimeng Tincture itself is not a particularly rare potion, so there is no need to cherish it. Its price in Star Antimony is not high, only forty-six white crown coins. However, it is purely handmade by alchemists, so the supply
Not enough, so it requires reservation and is limited to purchase.
And the most important thing is that this medicine will be difficult to buy in Avalon for the time being.
Because since two years ago, the Star Antimony Kingdom has become Avalon's enemy.
All alchemical products from the Kingdom of Star Antimony are restricted from being exported to Avalon; correspondingly, Avalon is not allowed to import alchemical products from the Kingdom of Star Antimony, and it also does not allow the country's minerals and timber to be exported to Star Antimony.
Currently, except for a few remaining Zuimeng tinctures on the market in Avalon... there are probably only scalpers who are stocking up and ordering from ten times the price.
Five hundred white coins is just the starting price.
This is a price that Haina could not even imagine. It is the salary of an ordinary worker in about ten years.
It’s not like Aiwass can’t afford it.
He just doesn't want scalpers to make so much money so easily.
He doesn't intend to leave this thing to the Inspectorate - even if the Inspectorate gets it, it will only resell it at a high price. There is a high probability that it will be sold to the Moriarty family.
Because everyone knows that Young Master Aiwas has recently embarked on the extraordinary path and became a priest. He also needs to stock up on Drunken Dream Tincture in advance.
——Then there is no need to let the middlemen make the difference.
But unfortunately, after finding Zuimeng Tincture, Aiwass couldn't find any good stuff.
He only found some ritual materials.
But those are some human body materials, such as placenta or baby's scalp. Not only are they of little value, but they are also of no use to him.
Aiwass had already sworn not to use materials of the same species for rituals - and he really didn't like this cruel behavior. So he didn't take them away. Instead, he left them on Veronica as a
Evidence of her guilt.
The red robe she is wearing is actually valuable.
...But Aiwass felt that he shouldn't be able to take it off.
Not to mention that this is women's clothing, and Aiwass can't wear it; and Veronica doesn't wear anything underneath, so she just takes off her clothes, which is a bit perverted...
Of course, it would be useless for him to get the red robe.
In the game, the player has no identity, so he can sneak into the association through the red robe. But now that he is Aiwass Moriarty, he cannot pass the review of the Noble Red Association.
If he really succeeds in joining, he will be threatened by the association in turn. Because once the matter is exposed, Aiwass will not be able to survive in the Kingdom of Avalon. Even his adoptive father, eldest brother and Yulia will be affected by this.
And suffer.
"……Huh?"
Aiwass suddenly pulled out a brass ring that shone with golden light.
It is engraved with a fist full of scars. It is clenched tightly, and blood drips from the fingers. And the sparkling "blood" is actually ground ruby powder. Under the sun, it
It reflects a dark red viscous luster like real blood.
The next moment, a light curtain popped out:
【Noble Red】
[Extraordinary Accessories (Light Purple)]
[Jewelry-Ring]
[Characteristics: Weak resistance to laws (limited to trigger beyond the road)]
[Spell: Violent choking and coughing (once a day, 1/1)]
[Required: Dark 2]
[Gesture, medium distance, effective immediately]
["——We are all wounded fists, hands holding blood, and blades without scales."]
OK, it’s shipped!
Aiwass's eyes lit up.
This is the best product Da Zi can produce!
Weak resistance to the law can invalidate the control effects of first-level law spells, law tactics-screams and other authoritative paths, and weaken the control effects below the third level by one level.
The path of authority is the most common path ability in Avalon. If Aiwass wears it, the control skills released by extraordinary beings within level ten will not be able to suppress him; the control skills within level thirty will also be reduced.
The strength is reduced by about ten levels. The only drawback is that this thing is too conspicuous, and people who usually wear it can easily mistakenly think it is from the Noble Red Society.
But its effect is really good, and it is extremely practical in the early stage... and Aiwass is beyond the road and can trigger passive effects. It is suitable to be carried around in your pocket and put on again when needed.
The spell "violent choking and coughing" that comes with the ring may sound a bit retarded, but it is actually quite practical.
Just using the ring as a medium to cast spells, and requiring two points of dark attribute mana to release this, you can see that it is not a very low-end thing.
"Coughing Technique" is a first-level transcendental path spell, which has the effect of putting a person in a state of choking. If Aiwass now obtains the corresponding occult book, he can learn this spell.
"Violent choking and coughing technique" is an upgraded version of its second level. Its effect is to make a person immediately fall into a strong choking and coughing state. From the description of the text, it is equivalent to pouring red oil or seawater down the nose.
Such irritating liquid may require coughing uncontrollably for several seconds before it can be relieved.
If a person keeps coughing violently, it is actually difficult for him to exert strength.
Because he cannot breathe normally, his strength will become weaker. The effect in the game is "damage -10%, hit rate reduced by 10%, attack and movement speed reduced by 10%, lasting three seconds", but Aiwass feels that this
The numerical values are definitely conservative.
If it were true in reality, it would be very possible to be caught off guard by this trick and directly reveal a fatal flaw.
In the same way, a person who is coughing violently cannot speak, let alone yell.
Even for a period of time after the effect ends, you may not be able to speak clearly. The mucous membrane has been injured, and it is easy to continue coughing accidentally.
The ability of the law and speech system of the authoritarian path needs to be shouted out.
From this perspective, this piece of equipment is specifically designed to target the Supervisory Bureau's capabilities. Once discovered, it can be used to block the enemy and then escape immediately.
Aiwass couldn't help but feel lucky.
——Fortunately, he sold a flaw and seduced Veronica, choosing to use Haina as a breakthrough point.
She must have felt that the power of her shot was too weak to penetrate her defense. Then it would be better to take the shot and pretend to be dead immediately, taking advantage of the moment when Haina relaxed her vigilance, and throw the spell over to kill her instantly.
.
So she didn't want to show too much threat - because what she needed was Haina's underestimation.
This kind of academicism is very easy to reveal flaws in mentality.
But Veronica knows this...of course Aiwass also knows this.
He knew that Veronica must look down on Haina, so he deliberately set the stage and pretended that he was going to shoot her, so that Veronica could have a chance to successfully carry out her plan. When Veronica looked at herself
As her plan gradually came closer to success, she herself had already relaxed her vigilance.
Fortunately, I dug a hole myself and chose a righteous sneak attack!
Otherwise, if they really open up a fight, even if Veronica's continuous guided spells miss her, she can still use her backhand to weaken Haina with the "Violent Choking Technique".
Moreover, the ring itself is the identity certificate of the "Noble Red" association. And only formal members can get it, and peripheral members such as evil bartenders cannot get it.
Although it is just an equipment in the game...
But Aiwass thought.
In reality, it may have other uses.
Just like Aiwass dare not wear it on weekdays for fear of being misunderstood about his identity - the reverse may also be true.
I didn't adjust, so I thought about writing less, but it turned out that these two chapters were over 6,000 words...
