Yesterday, Aiwass just ran out. George said he wanted to rest and didn't let David disturb Aiwass... So David quietly endured it until the next morning.
After completing today's morning exercise and having breakfast, he immediately ran to find Aiwass.
Aiwass was sitting in his wheelchair, looking at the winter courtyard outside the house from the window. The dead leaves on the ground were cleaned up by the servants, and the big white griffon was running and flying repeatedly with his daughter.
Emily has obviously not yet mastered the griffin's instinctive skill of manipulating the atmosphere like playing with strings. When she sprints and flies, she will bring up storms that are visible to the naked eye and produce a huge "pengpeng" noise, which will blow away everything on her body.
The hair is messed up.
The other big griffon next to it is faster - it can disappear in an instant and then reappear. But not only is it not messy at all, but it is also very quiet throughout the process, without causing a storm, and even the small tree next to it
None of the branches swayed.
"That's the instinctive skill of gryphons," David said as Aiwass seemed curious about it, "Dad said that if humans can obtain [Storm Affinity] above level three, they might also be able to do this.
a little."
"And you?"
Aiwass turned around and said with a warm smile: "Is your path characteristic also storm affinity?"
"No, I am thunder and lightning friendly."
David shook his head and said honestly: "Dad said that if I were a samurai or a swordsman, I could do whatever I wanted. Because the advancement ceremony will only give us enough suitable path characteristics, and we will not be weak if we follow our heart.
.But I will be a soldier in the future, and I will go to the battlefield. And it will be the most intense and cruel part.
"Because of this, any choice that is even slightly off-center may reduce my survival probability. So my father gave me clear promotion requirements... including which abilities can and cannot be used in the ritual;
Which road characteristics to choose, which ones can be chosen under what circumstances, and which ones cannot be chosen..."
David complained: "I've been memorizing it for a long time, it's very complicated."
Aiwass said softly: "Your father is doing it for his own good."
The Great Guardian really values his son.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a high-level transcendent to attach so much importance to future generations...
After all, when the desires of the road overflow, "having a child" has become the most standard and the easiest way to relieve it. In this era, the current ceiling is too low, and it will easily end.
Once you have this concept, or even just this knowledge, it's hard not to see your children as tools to protect yourself.
Because the primary purpose of the birth of a child is no longer for love, or even for tradition or inheritance. It is to relieve one's own pressure.
Thinking of this, Aiwass asked: "Do you have any other brothers and sisters?"
"there is none left."
Mr. "Knight" was also very sorry about this incident: "I actually want to have a cute sister. John's sister is very cute, always following behind his butt, and making a milky sound... ah
, John is my classmate.”
He explained casually.
But then he sighed again: "But my parents said that they are very busy, and taking good care of me is the limit. If we raise another child and divide the energy between two people, everyone will not get enough."
Love, attention and family education.
"So at least while dad is serving as the Great Guardian, he doesn't plan to have another child. But I actually don't hate having a younger brother and sister... It would be nice to have someone to play with and exercise with me."
David thought about the future that he didn't know when he would arrive.
But he doesn't know what his parents have paid for him - George has been a great guardian for a long time, and now he should be stuck at level 49 like Meg. In other words, the pressure on his journey has already accumulated.
For a long time.
Obviously having another child can effectively relieve the pressure on the road.
And since David has no objection or even expectation, there is no need to deal with internal conflicts within the family.
However, in order to ensure that David would enjoy complete love and attention, and receive wholehearted education and guidance, they preferred to let this excuse go.
Of course, there is another possibility...that is, the Great Guardian's moral standards are too high, so much so that he believes that this will make the process of childbirth too utilitarian and make the newborn have meaning before it is born.
Therefore, he would rather endure the pain and anxiety of the pressure on the road than choose to expel this strong desire.
...No matter what the reason is, it is really rare.
Especially in this era when the average person with extraordinary status has only a few or even a dozen children, this kind of heart is even more rare.
"He's right."
Aiwass sighed and said in a deep voice: "When you reach the fourth level or even the fifth level in the future... you will know the sacrifices he has made now."
It's not difficult.
For David, who reached the second level at the age of fifteen, it was already a certainty that he would enter the fourth level.
The world level cap will be opened in more than a year at most, and this is without any accidents. The development of things now has some deviations from Aiwass's memory, and Aiwass already has "known knowledge"
A premonition that the future will come earlier or later.
As far as David is concerned, the only thing that may go wrong is four to five.
Starting from the third level to the fourth level, failure or death may cause damage to the soul. The accumulated damage will reduce the success probability of subsequent advancements. The cost of failure from four to five is currently the most expensive.
The worst is damage to the soul, and the worst is death on the spot.
The cost of failure for advancing from fourth to fifth and fifth to sixth will be reduced only after the level caps of all nine avenues are opened.
If Mr. "Knight" is still so naive, he may not be able to advance due to too many accumulated failures.
Even if Aleister could take him once, twice... but he couldn't take him every time.
If it comes to a choice between abandoning the knight and letting himself win, or saving the knight and letting himself fail, Aiwass will definitely choose the former.
As the level increases, the intensity of the promotion ceremony will gradually increase. The influence and suppression brought by the intensity of the shadow demon will gradually decrease... Not to mention, there are also scripts in the promotion ceremony that focus on decryption or gaming.
Not all rituals can be solved through violence.
At least the script written by Weizhe will definitely not work. He hates using violence and fighting to solve problems, and his script must be of a category that will level everyone's intensity. If his script is randomly chosen, then Aleister, who has his own Shadow Demon
On the contrary, it will have a negative effect - because it is easier for others to gang up and attack her.
In this case, no matter how optimistic Aiwass is about the knight, he can't afford to promote one more person. Not to mention, Lily will also accompany "Aleister" for promotion. Compared with the knight, Lily is more interested in Aleister.
It's even more important for Wentz.
Of course, if Mr. "Knight" can train him well, it means that "Aleister"'s promotion will always bring him two reliable teammates. In the New Moon Ceremony, the advantage of having two teammates at the beginning can be
Infinitely large... at least until everyone else knows about it.
So if possible, Aiwass still wants to help and educate David.
"Mr. Aiwass," David finally couldn't help himself and asked aloud, "What kind of person is Miss Aleister...?"
--coming.
Aiwass thought to himself.
I am not afraid that you will ask, but I am afraid that you will not ask.
So Aiwass pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I don't think she is a bad person. At most, she can only be regarded as having a strong desire to perform and possessiveness, hoping that others will pay more attention to herself. Even if she takes advantage of others, I think as long as
If the intention is good, the result is good, and the consequences are controllable, then the process can actually be ignored."
What Aiwass said actually refers to himself. But at the same time, it also fits the characteristics of the assassin lady.
Now that the vest of "Aleister" is basically ready, all Aiwass has to do is go back and wash himself and bleach his vest to avoid overacting and attracting the attention of investigators.
Already.
Just like a "Phantom Thief" - he can't be a truly ruthless and murderous wanted criminal, otherwise he may be greeted by a sniper; but if he is just a Phantom Thief who has caused no actual harm, then maybe the other party will play with him.
.
Aiwass didn't want to trap the main body because of the trouble caused by the vest.
"So I don't think you were deceived by her. Because Aleister does have a flamboyant charm, which is the attraction of a true transcendent."
Aivas said softly.
Hearing this, David was shocked: "How do you know..."
He quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but Aiwass said directly: "Because she told me your story - you met during the promotion ceremony not long ago, right?"
"...Ah, yes."
David replied with a complicated mood.
He was happy that Miss Aleister could remember him, but at the same time he felt sad that Aiwass's relationship with her was obviously closer. But his good education told him that he should not be jealous at this time.
——So these complicated emotions were entangled together, making him feel that his heart was very messy.
"I have the same opinion as her."
Aiwass said in a gentle voice: "If you want to embark on the road of transcendence, I will not stop you. There is no wrong path on the nine roads. It is your own decision to embark on any road, and you can also walk your own way.
"But you should embark on this path with sufficient understanding. Instead of being induced and confused by other people's words - a whim impulse cannot last long, and there is no regret in the choice of path and career.
Once you step on the road, you can't turn back."
Under the morning light, Aiwass's blue pupils shined brightly.
He spoke softly while sitting in a wheelchair, making David seem to see the shadow of Aleister in him.
"Let's take a look at the common career choice of transcending the path - the curse mage, who needs to master the knowledge of curses and rituals; the demonologist needs to master the knowledge of demonology and rituals; the devil needs to be possessed by a demon, and even the will and rituals must be mastered.
The body cannot be controlled. So let’s exclude the demon first... Then among the remaining two professions, do you want to summon demons, or do you want to curse others?"
Aiwass asked seriously: "Do you want to have such a mysterious skill, or do you just admire Aleister and want to be like her?"
David also listened equally carefully - he actually had this problem too and had been thinking about it for a long time.
He shook his head: "I'm actually not interested in any of this... I just yearn for the courage to give up everything and challenge a powerful enemy."
【——Question 1, Do you have the courage to live towards death? 】
[——Question 2: Do you have the courage to challenge an invincible enemy? 】
Aleister's arrogant voice still echoed in David's heart.
"In that case, I have a way."
Aiwass said simply: "Actually, there are some lost professions beyond the path.
"Just as the core skill of the path of devotion is the illumination skill of burning oneself to illuminate others, the core skill of the path of authoritarianism is the skill of leadership including spirit, restraint, and judgment. The core of the path of transcendence is not actually the devil.
It's not a curse...it's a ritual."
"ceremony?"
David wondered: "Isn't it a devil?"
Aiwass smiled and said: "Demonologists have only been around for a long time. Are there no professionals who have transcended the path before?"
These words are actually a bit taboo - because only with a certain understanding of demonology, it is possible to know that demonologists are actually a new generation profession. But precisely because of the existence of the character Aleister, Aiwass said
Nothing is strange. People will make up their own minds and convince themselves.
And what he said is indeed true——
Demons, curses, and contracts all come from the power of other Tiansi. The power that truly belongs to Snake Father is "ritual".
"I actually know that there is a long-lost profession beyond the path, and it is very suitable for you."
Aiwass whispered: "But for now you are unable to take office."
"What is that?" David blurted.
You boy...
Seeing David's unhesitating, almost eager inquiry, Avas immediately understood that Aleister's words might be effective, but they were probably only a small part of the effect.
David's desire and longing for the transcendent path, instead of being suppressed, became more intense.
So it was indeed right for me to tell David about this at this time...
"That's [Ascension Warlock]."
Aiwass replied half-truthfully: "This is a long-lost profession. Because it requires candidates to be physically strong enough, it can only be used as a second way to change professions."
