After Aiwass finished handling the ceremony site, he asked Sherlock to return to the bishop's house.
Sherlock was still somewhat resistant to this at first - he originally wanted to hide it and not tell anyone who knew him that he had become smaller. Anyway, he would change back again when he was promoted again.
This directly made Sherlock, who originally had no desire for promotion, suddenly become energetic.
However, he was persuaded by Aiwass's words, "Don't you want to go back and catch up on some sleep?" He still reluctantly chose to obey his body.
——There is one thing to say, it is indeed a bit sleepy.
After all, he had just endured the curse of mental retardation the night before and tried his best to learn two knowledges that he was not good at. And after he almost mastered them, his body was recast by Aiwass's ritual.
And Sherlock, who hadn't eaten or drank much water all night, returned to his adolescent body shape of thirteen or fourteen years old, wore uncomfortable clothes, stretched his neck and painted the wall for an hour, and then painted the wall with Aiwass.
The dead cow was moved out - the last bit of work nearly knocked him out.
"...Do you have to drag me with you when you work!? Or maybe I can't help at all. In the end, you did it alone, right?" Sherlock couldn't help but say.
"That's true, but you don't want to escape alone."
Aiwass chuckled: "We do work together, these are good brothers!"
So after forcibly dragging Sherlock to finish the work, Aiwass used a "Sacrificial Fire" and energetically went to help Haina deal with the griffin matter.
Sherlock had no ability to recover his physical strength. Moreover, after the "curse of feeblemindedness" expired for a period of time due to the ritual, he vaguely felt that his head was starting to hurt again.
But it's still better than before. Now it's probably at the level of a normal migraine, and this level of pain often occurred when he stayed up late at work before, so it's still bearable.
Although he has not yet advanced, Sherlock's body is now much stronger than before - if he had been dragged through so much physical work before completing the initiation ceremony, he would have been paralyzed on the ground by now.
Sherlock also suddenly understood - what does it mean to work together, you just want to try your own ritual to see how effective it is!
It turns out that you yourself don’t know the effect of this ritual!
After Aiwass finished observing, Shylock felt cold, sleepy, hungry and tired. Finally, he swallowed his previous vow "I won't tell anyone about this" and ran back to the bishop's house in despair.
"coming--"
Mrs. Mina, who had just woken up, came to open the door after hearing the doorbell.
She originally thought they were here to deliver newspapers or sell milk. But when she opened the door and saw little Sherlock in loose clothes, Mrs. Mina stood there and hesitated for a while.
Then, she blinked directly - and the light like stars shrouded her eyes.
This is the astral vision unique to prophets who are adapted to the path. It can easily see a person's fundamental spiritual essence, thereby distinguishing the other person's true identity.
The next moment, Mrs. Mina suddenly showed a surprised look:
"...Are you, Sherlock?"
"I thank you, madam, for not saying hurtful words like 'Whose child is this?'"
The young version of Sherlock sighed and waved the sleeve that covered half of his fingers: "This is Aiwass's new invention, isn't it awesome?"
"You're so cute."
Mrs. Mina first smiled and praised before welcoming Sherlock into the room.
She and Bishop Mathers had no children. They originally took care of Shylock as if they were their own children...
But now that he has truly transformed into a younger person, this naturally pleases Mrs. Mina even more.
"I would rather you say that I am young and energetic now."
Sherlock said coldly, stretched out his hands to touch the sides of his mouth, raised his head with a smile, and said with a dry smile: "Otherwise, I feel like I'll be sleepy to death in the next moment, haha."
Mrs. Mina couldn't help but rub her hair: "Oh, poor little... your hair has become thinner and softer. But you do seem to be more energetic than before... For example, if it was before
I'm afraid you will only sigh deeply when you are so tired, and then after entering the door, you will lie on the sofa and lazily ask me for a cup of hot apple cider."
Sherlock wanted to refute, but he found that Mrs. Mina was telling the truth. So he chose to remain silent.
Mina sighed: "This is incredible, a ritual of rejuvenation..."
She is not an ordinary person who knows nothing about the path to the extraordinary.
It is precisely because she has come into contact with many hidden prophets that she is more aware of the incredible aspects of Aiwass's ritual.
"The phenomenon of human aging with the passage of time belongs to the realm of sand timepieces; while the growth, development, change and aging of the body are related to the realm of blood on the path of love. You two belong neither to balance nor to love.
But he was able to achieve the miracle of reversing time... He is indeed worthy of him. I don’t think I will be surprised at all the miraculous things he has done now."
Mina sighed: "The last time I did divination, I noticed that his fate line was closely related to many 'high-level phantoms'. At that time, I also doubted whether he was the reincarnated Tiansi... But then I did it again
After divination, I discovered that he is indeed a mortal."
Sherlock immediately understood what Mina meant.
In addition to high-level phantoms in the usual sense, apostles, Tiansi and Pillar Gods also belong to high-level phantoms in terms of racial classification.
"As a mortal, you can have such a close connection with those great dream world beings... This is even more surprising than the reincarnation of Tiansi or the apostle. Now I no longer dare to do divination for him... I can
Seeing the messy thread of his destiny, and following the clear thread of destiny to see the great beings, this is probably a kind warning."
Otherwise, she might have passed out at that time. It's hard to say whether she can wake up now.
As an adaptable person, she chose to follow the guidance of her heart.
Mina chatted with Sherlock for a while and then went to make breakfast.
Although Sherlock insisted that only his appearance had changed, Mina firmly refused to serve Sherlock hot cider.
After Mrs. Mina left, Sherlock, who was squatting in a ball on the sofa, fell into deep thought.
——He always felt that Mrs. Mina was hinting at something to him.
Does it mean that they will encounter danger this time? Or is Aiwass a pawn of Zhutiansi?
What other dangers can they encounter with this configuration?
The double third-level self, the third-level Haina, the third-level priest and even the transcendental profession of unknown levels, and then coupled with his elusive maid... Sherlock felt that they
Even the strong men of the fourth energy level can easily defeat them because their combat effectiveness is not at the level of the conventional third energy level.
But after hearing Mina say that the thread of Aiwass' fate was unusually messy, Sherlock still felt a little flustered.
...Just in case, it's better to go to Edward's house and bring all his spare equipment.
As Edward's best friend, Sherlock knew exactly where Edward used to hide them.
Now Aiwass is not officially in charge of the minister, nor is he in charge of the secretary... He is not a member of the Supervision Bureau or the Supervisory Council, and has not obtained formal authority permission. His strength as a legal practitioner is very poor.
But he only needs to borrow Edward's identity.
As long as he puts on Edward's gloves, ceremonial sword, pistol, and certificate, it is equivalent to temporarily obtaining Edward's authorization. In this way, he can use the power of the authoritarian path.
Of course, he has another way...that is to directly ask the Queen to issue a charter document for him. The effect is the same.
But Sherlock didn't want to trouble Her Majesty the Queen, nor did he want her to worry about him... just like Sherlock didn't want to tell his brother about this trip.
——Anyway, he stole things to protect his brother, so he just left a note.
On the other hand, Aiwass has also completely mastered the new skill [Xi Huo] - seeing it appear on his panel, Aiwass can be sure that he has indeed mastered it. It is not that he has been burned too much.
hallucination.
However, it is obviously not very convenient to use at the moment because there is not enough space for him to test. Moreover, he is going on a long trip today, and he also needs to save some status.
After returning to the Palace of Silver and Tin for breakfast, Aiwass went to visit the Griffin Minister of Avalon.
This minister lives in the backyard of the Palace of Silver and Tin.
It may be the only minister who lives in the Palace of Silver and Tin.
The other one is Aiwass.
This minister whose real name is unknown is very large. It is the largest griffon Aiwass has ever seen.
Minister Griffin is currently lying on a square pure white stone, with two cat-like front paws on his chest, blocked by the white fluff on his chest, and his whole body feathers are as pure as jade. From a human point of view, this stone
It's a little narrow, just enough to accommodate the entire body of the Griffin Minister. But it's just right for it.
And this cute cat-like posture makes it look quite majestic - for no other reason than that it is too big.
The stone platform is almost one meter high. And just by leaning on it with your upper body propped up, it is almost four meters high.
This is basically the height of a floor. Aiwass had to raise his head to talk to it normally.
"The chief girl of this year?"
The Griffin Minister held his paws in his hands, but he made a low and majestic voice like an old man: "Then there should have been Griffins a long time ago."
"Probably because I wanted to pair her with a white-feathered gryphon - after all, she is Meg's close disciple."
Aiwass said with a smile.
It was actually the first time for him to meet this griffin minister, but he was not nervous at all... This old man is currently the oldest griffin in Avalon. He is also the longest griffin alive so far.
It is a "founding veteran" that has existed almost since the time of the first Knights of the Round Table.
Now it is too old and heavy to fight... A body that would look too fat for a human would look very pleasing to a gryphon with half the body of a cat.
Avalon's Griffin Minister has not always been it - in fact, the old man has given this position to humans several times.
Because griffins are indeed far less intelligent than humans, and their physiological structure is not convenient for processing various documents. And because griffons are powerful and can speak, as the darlings of the Silver Crown Dragon, they do not worry about being unfairly treated.
After all, strictly speaking, the gryphon knights, whose lifespan is much shorter than that of the gryphons, are just the gryphons' nannies and scavengers.
Just because it killed the previous Griffin Minister again, it was temporarily replaced until the Queen found a new Griffin Minister. Anyway, it just needs to squat here and be a mascot.
When there are important documents, his secretary will come over and let him peck his beak.
This is the benefit of Avalon's civil service system - no matter whether the minister above them is a human or a gryphon, the civil servants can complete various tasks normally. The ministers only need to sign.
As an old griffon, its working ability may be much better than that of humans. At least it will not cause a scandal or be bribed by foreigners.
"Little Meg..."
Minister Griffin felt nostalgic: "Her vision has always been good. What do you need me to do?"
"Please just give this file a peck."
Aiwass squatted on the ground, spread out the document, and pointed with his finger to the location where signatures were required.
The Griffin Minister did not get down from the stone, but stayed still.
Its neck just stretched forward like a spring, and it easily lay on the one-meter-high stone and pecked the document.
"and this."
Aiwass put the document away and took out another document: "Peck here. Well, and here. Here. Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"fine."
Minister Griffin made a gentle voice and encouraged: "Your name is Aiwass, right? The Crown Master is looking at you... behave well."
Aiwass shook his hand and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I will definitely work hard."
...There is a saying, being stared at by the Pillar God is not something to be happy about. This makes Aiwass somewhat stressed.
Fortunately, there were no leaks this time.
The Great Sin Ritual was because the Fallen Heavenly Sword's fart happened in the future, so Aiwass didn't dare to tell anyone a word about it.
But the Mithraic ritual did exist in the past thousands of years ago. It was an ancient ritual that was truly spread in the ancient kingdom of Parthia. It was indeed a path that could be revived through Shylock and popularized in Avalon.
Although Aiwass has lied many times using this excuse, this time it was true.
He could really read this ritual from a book. It was not like he invented it forcefully like when he made the Butterfly of Flames.
It's just like a priest can get help from the apostles of other paths through prayer, or a blood mage can learn the spells of other paths. This is one of the ways for the wisdom path to obtain the abilities of other paths.
The first two abilities it acquires in the early stage are exactly the mainstream paths of Avalon - devotion and authority. This profession can be implemented without any pressure, and the most troublesome rituals can be turned into an assembly line.
After the symbols on the wall are painted and Henggao’s gaze and prayer come over, he can kill several cows at one go to help several people complete the ritual. And after this group of people complete the ritual, there is no need to wipe the ritual on the wall, just replace it.
Just one batch will be fine.
Although the gaze of the Pillar God cannot be requested too many times in a row, there is no need to clean up the ceremony hall. This efficiency and cost can be optimized.
Of course, perhaps the biggest problem is that Avalon simply cannot lure so many high-level mages...
We can't let all the mages from Narcissus Principality come to Avalon, right?
That Star Antimony may really have to fight with Avalon.
...But that’s not necessarily the case. If those mages really came to Avalon, maybe Star Antimony wouldn’t fight with Avalon.
Because then Avalon would be "a real weapon of mass destruction."
——Hey, this seems to be a solution?
Aiwass fell into deep thought, wondering if he could find a way to recruit some people.
