At least in this matter, Aiwass can be sure that Bishop Mathers' information is really not as good as his own.
Although Aiwass has completely forgotten the plot, the letter [a letter sent by someone to the Noble Red Society] that he obtained at the Pelican Bar mentioned some key information.
The letter roughly mentioned that the demonologists sent by the Noble Red Society this time should be "a group of people", not just two. "That Lord" will cooperate with their actions and continue to create demonologists all over the Glass Island in advance.
cases to distract the attention and manpower of the Supervision Bureau.
Similarly, the mysterious person who wrote the letter also issued a warning to the Noble Red Association in an attitude of almost equal partners - to the effect that there is a limit to the amount of accounts he can allow the association to take on credit. If the association is like this
If he still doesn't give him what he wants, he will "with a heavy heart and firmly carry out some unkind acts that neither of us want or want to see."
The two "pen pals" who came to meet Aiwass actually broke away from the large army and arrived early.
The motivation is also easy to understand.
They have been operating the "Aiwass" line for a long time. Perhaps they believe that Aiwass will die in this ongoing turmoil; or perhaps they think that their superiors will come to take away Aiwass' resources; or
Or they were uneasy about this operation, so they activated the Aiwass food reserve in advance to replenish important resources.
Perhaps it was for the name of the "Moriarty" family at first, but when Aiwass became a priest and still trusted them, he became a special value in his own right.
Noble blood, a pure heart, a soul seeking transcendence, a willing sacrifice - there may be some other factors. But Aiwass's standards as a sacrifice are very high.
Because the sacrificial ceremony was not a directional summoning of the shadow demon, but any higher-level demon could come. As a result, the ceremony had just begun, and the shadow demon came over after smelling the smell.
Aiwass used half of his life force as a sacrifice to sign a contract with Shadow Demon - this is actually the correct price.
The correct sacrifice price is "half". No matter how much you offer, the devil will only take half, and usually it is the renewable half. Because the essence of this ritual is "equal sharing".
The property is equally divided, the power is equally divided, the income is equally divided, and the risks are equally divided - such two parties can be called collaborators. If the summoner's quality can satisfy the devil, the summoner can get a symbolic 1% more
, to tell the difference between "master and servant"; if it is difficult to just summon it, then it is usually half and half.
But in fact, this has no binding effect on the devil's behavior. It is just a verbal distinction between being called "master" or "partner".
Demonologists are legal professions in countries other than Avalon and the Eternal Theocracy. If you must kill your own sacrifice when using sacrificial techniques, then demonologists must be murderers, and this profession is impossible.
It is legal. And if a demonologist performs self-sacrifice, it is directly equivalent to suicide.
The sacrifices of demonologists in the Kingdom of Avalon are always accompanied by slaughter, which is actually not the need of the devil, but the need to silence, rob, or prepare ritual materials.
In the case where the spread of mysterious knowledge is limited, most ordinary people don't even know what extraordinary professions there are on the transcendental path. They don't even know the official title of "demonologist", but instead call them "warlock" in short.
The established impression that he is a master who can cast spells has become a popular nickname.
But in fact, the demonologist's magic ability is not strong, and the types of spells he can use are quite few.
Compared with the mages of the Wisdom Path, the Necromancers of the Dusk Path, and the Sages who adapt to the path, they are far inferior, and even the Law Magisters of the Authoritative Path are inferior - the main power of demonologists comes from "rituals" and "
"Devil". Many spells rely on rituals, need to be prepared in advance, and are far more powerful than normal spells.
For example, Veronica's "cursed baby" requires babies who have been cursed to death by spellcasters as ritual materials. The ritual spells guided by second-level demonologists are destructive enough to threaten or even instantly kill third-level demonologists.
Front row career.
If you don't have the right materials on hand and don't have a powerful enough demon contract, the demonologist will become very weak.
But on the other hand, if demonologists plan secretly and prepare in advance, they can exert destructive power far beyond their level.
Now I am in the light and they are in the dark.
If Aiwass only used his demonologist ability to fight, it would be a double disadvantage - not only would his identity be revealed easily, but he would also be completely unable to cooperate with his teammates.
I can't even mix it up. I can't even lie down.
Aiwass originally planned to obtain the priest professional level as soon as possible, but he did not expect it to be so soon. Before he told his adoptive father about it, Bishop Mathers thought of it in advance.
In the morning, the Supervisory Bureau called to make an appointment - saying that they planned to visit Moriarty Manor in the evening. The adoptive father was very happy and said that he wanted to issue a commendation order to Aiwass...
But Aiwass wasn't very interested in this.
What good things can the Supervisory Bureau give? In the game, the players are busy and busy, but in the end they get nothing at all. The benefits are all divided among themselves.
Moreover, Aiwass was worried that this idiot from Haina would come hours in advance. So he didn't dare to go out today.
I originally planned to read with my sister at home.
As a result, Bishop Mathers invited him to the cathedral at only nine o'clock in the morning.
But now Aiwass has no dissatisfaction in his heart. He is extremely pious and serious.
——Just kidding, this is a professional skills instructor!
And strictly speaking, he went through the back door. Without passing the exam or completing the long and smelly "approval tasks", he directly obtained the qualification to learn the sacred skills!
The old bishop preached slowly: "The so-called 'sacred skills' are the most practical ones selected by the church based on the principles of 'safety', 'health', 'easy to learn' and 'benefiting people'.
The safest and easiest to master the mysterious skills of the path of devotion. After passing the corresponding qualification examination, the bishop will teach the corresponding skills for free until you master it."
I understand, it's the three families. Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur... highlight one that is easy to use and easy to maintain.
Aiwass thought to himself, feeling very anxious and impatient.
But Bishop Mathers still said calmly: "There are four kinds of sacred skills that the bishop below can master.
"'Prayer', 'fire sacrifice', 'illumination', 'blessing'. It is particularly important to note that the essence of mysterious skills cannot be understood literally."
The old bishop explained: "The so-called 'fire sacrifice' refers to a technique to strengthen the body and restore itself.
"Human life is like a candle, and the soul is fire. Those of us who walk on the path of devotion will share our light and fire. And this also means that we will gradually become empty.
"I specially created this unhealthy state for myself to demonstrate to you."
As he spoke, the old bishop nodded the unnatural white hair on his temples.
Aiwass knew what he was going to say, but still nodded obediently.
To put it simply, the spells on the path of devotion all burn your own blood.
Even for treatment, you only burn your own blood to restore blood to others - if this is the case, then the path of devotion must have a stable method of restoring blood.
This is the technique of "Sacrificing Fire".
"First, light a new candle. It can be any color, it doesn't matter - and when you're good enough, you can just carry a pack of matches with you."
The old bishop said, stretching out his left hand: "I don't know how much you understand mysterious knowledge, so I will start from the beginning.
"Among the five fingers of both hands, the thumb symbolizes fire, the index finger symbolizes air, the middle finger symbolizes ether, the ring finger is earth, and the little finger is water. The four basic elements have two corresponding fingers, and light and darkness are represented by the left and right hands respectively.
.So we usually use the left hand to perform fire sacrifices - and the elements of the path of devotion are light and fire, so our most important fingers are the thumb and middle finger of the left hand.
"I don't recommend you do anything with your right hand until you become proficient in it and have it ingrained into your instincts."
As he spoke, a white flame ignited on the thumb of the old bishop's left hand, lighting up the candlestick in front of him.
There was a thick and long white candle that had been placed in advance. When it was lit, the light instantly illuminated the entire space.
"In order to easily guide you in your first visualization, I specially selected the brightest model."
Bishop Mathers explained and motioned for Oswald to push Aiwass' wheelchair over.
"Come on, raise your left hand. Do it with me..."
He moved very slowly: "Imagine that what is in front of you is not a candle that is within reach, but a golden sun that is out of reach.
"No matter how bright the fire is in front of you, you have to imagine that it is shining with extremely bright light - that light fills all corners of your perspective, filling your entire perspective without a shadow. Imagine that it can penetrate you
Even if you open your hand, your hand should be as transparent as glass."
Aiwass did as he was told.
And when he just reached out his hand.
Suddenly a pop-up window popped up in front of his eyes:
[Samuel Mathers is teaching you "Fire Sacrifice". Do you want to pay 1 public experience to master this mysterious skill? 】
The moment he saw the pop-up window, Aiwass was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Bishop Mathers.
In the game, if a certain mysterious skill of the player is obtained through a task - that is, not through reading, but through one-on-one teaching after gaining a certain NPC's personal favorability. Learning this mysterious skill requires
The experience consumed is directly proportional to the skill level and inversely proportional to the teacher level.
In other words, the better this mysterious skill is to learn, the higher the level of the instructor, and the less experience the learner has to consume.
In the game, this setting doesn't have much meaning, it's just to show how strong this person is. Because players actually don't lack this experience - this bad game has no physical limit, and it doesn't take much experience to learn mysterious skills.
.
But when people fighting beasts online discuss "who is stronger than who" and "who can defeat whom", they will use this as a basis to infer what the corresponding professional level of this NPC is.
When players learned sacred skills back then, they all required seven points of experience to learn them - and the teaching NPC whose name Aiwass forgot, no matter how weak he was, was at least a certain bishop.
So what is going on with you, old man? You have such a high level in version 1.0, why have I never heard your name in the game?
——It’s broken, I met the sweeper. This is it.
