A blue ring appeared in front of the glasses, and then unfolded an auxiliary array disk emitting light, as well as those shining runes, making it look like a virtual panel.
He stared at the grimoire in Aiwass's hand attentively. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly frowned slightly, showing a somewhat doubtful expression.
...What is the Grimoire of Deadly Sins?
As an apostle of the path of wisdom, Merlin certainly has the ability to appraise extraordinary items. In fact, during the Round Table period, Merlin was the best appraiser in Avalon.
He can see the effect of this thing.
However, he didn't know what "Phantom Card" and "Sin Card" were.
——Is this the inheritance brought by the sacred entity?
"Aiwass," Merlin asked very cautiously, "did you just... see anything special?"
"...something special?"
"It's the 'sacred entity' I mentioned before. It might be a snake, it might be a ring, or it might be a cloud of smoke, or a demon. It's the will residing in the remains of the dream demon."
Merlin provided a slightly more precise answer: "Do you have any impression?"
Although in front of Aiwass, Merlin maintained a mysterious attitude, as if he knew everything. But he actually didn't know much, and even Merlin himself was surprised by this call of fate.
His original motive for coming to "Beheading Valley" was just to inspect the Shadow of Avalon ritual. This was information he only got after meeting Aiwass in his dream.
As a result, after inspection, he discovered that Jacob not only changed the ritual he left behind, but also left something else behind.
Merlin even saw the woman Vivian nearby... She was not an apostle who ran out to play like him, but she directly gave up the power of the path of love and reincarnated as a mortal.
Merlin was taken aback by this unusual behavior - because that woman was not the type to let herself fall into a passive position. Although her actions seemed crazy and extreme, she always remained rational.
Vivian is the type who is very clear about her own goals, and is ruthless to others as well as herself. Although she has done many crazy things, those things are not emotion-oriented, but profit-oriented... Her madness is mainly reflected in
The speed with which she "abandoned".
Most people will always be attached to the things they already own. If they encounter any problems, they will generally try to solve them within the scope of what they can solve. Even if something is not needed for the time being, they will not throw it away directly, but will keep it for future reference.
See if it can still be used later.
But not Vivian.
She sincerely fell in love with Merlin and fell into a fiery true love. But after she accomplished her goal from Merlin, she cut off the connection coldly and sealed Merlin into the tree;
She also took care of Lancelot like a mother, and was promoted to an apostle through such great achievements. After completing her goal, she decisively severed the relationship between mother and son, and never saw Lancelot again.
She is always looking for more, exchanging less for more. And she always finds more.
But now she has abandoned her identity and power as an apostle without hesitation, and fled directly into the material world - that gesture can only be called an escape, because her reincarnation must not have been approved by Ying Tiansi. In other words,
Said that she even gave up everything so far and became a mortal again.
This made Merlin feel extremely uneasy.
Following this clue, he found the remains of the dream demon left by Aiwass in the promotion ceremony, and found the Book of Law and the seal left by Jacob, and found the secret of the Ring of Ending Ceremony.
Knowledge.
In the end, relying on the information provided by Yeats's unfaithful werewolf, Merlin finally got one step ahead of Aiwass and learned the whole story - to be precise, it was actually only ten years earlier than Aiwass.
minute.
But that's all he knew.
Facing Merlin's inquiry, Aiwass felt a move in his heart.
He suddenly realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity...?
The secrets Aiwass knew before, whether it was the method of changing classes of the Sin Scholar, or other things, Aiwass could not tell others.
Because he did not have a reasonable information channel - he had never known any extraordinary people before, and the only knowledge he could get about the extraordinary world came from the study of his adoptive father James.
But Aiwass took out the ritual to reincarnate Meg, and gave Sherlock a new profession that he had never heard of.
Both Meg and Sherlock must have doubts about Aiwass. But Meg prefers pragmatism and doesn't think about it if she can't figure it out; and Sherlock has already decided not to be serious with Aiwass... and
But it can't always be like this.
And now is a wonderful opportunity!
"I did see something."
Aiwass thought of this with a serious expression: "I saw the past and saw my grandfather talking to a mysterious being. And that being granted my grandfather some special knowledge - including some rituals that I had never seen before... except
In addition, he also showed some future intelligence."
"future?"
Merlin was not interested in the ceremony, but after hearing about the future, he repeated it, but he tilted his head and thought about it and nodded: "Oh, that makes sense - do you remember what He said?"
"He didn't say much, and they were all riddles. It was like a prophet's prophecy... But since then, a lot of knowledge suddenly flowed through my mind. They passed by, and then almost all disappeared.
, only some vague impressions remain.”
Aiwass said seriously: "But I feel that as long as I meet a certain condition, I can recall it!"
Everything he said was true.
Even if Merlin is doing a lie detector test, he can only get the answer "the truth".
But Aiwass cleverly changed the word order, as if what he saw was not ritual knowledge, but fragments of the future.
He said: "For example, that divine being said...'The ones chosen as the apostles and sacrifices of the pillars are the sacrifices of the great beasts.' I think the meaning of this sentence is..."
When Aiwass said this, he suddenly paused.
Merlin looked over curiously, but Aiwass' expression suddenly changed and he looked towards the sky.
——Originally, he just picked up a familiar sentence and wanted to fool Merlin.
But Aiwass himself was only halfway through speaking when he suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence!
Because at that moment, Aiwass wanted to understand something.
In the game, the original "Aiwass" was the discoverer of the profession of Sin Scholar. Likewise, he was also the first Lord of Great Beasts...
When Jacob left these words with the "holy entity", Aiwass had not yet been born. In other words, even if Aiwass had traveled through time since birth, but had no awakening memory for the time being... then he would not
The world of more than ten years ago will not be changed before traveling through time.
In other words, even according to the original world line, Jacob must have left this book here!
So when did Aiwass get the promotion career of Scholar of Sins?
Because Aiwass didn't know the plot, he could only deduce what happened at that time from the subsequent settings.
At that time, Avalon was gone, and his adoptive father James had also disappeared. Until the arrival of the Fallen God, "Aiwass" was just a rookie demon scholar who had just reached level 30 because he was unwilling to use humans as ritual materials.
You can't get anything at all by following the player around.
Moreover, the Fallen Heaven Secretary was still alive at that time. In other words, "Aiwass" could only change his profession to this profession at least after the player and Isabel defeated the Fallen Heaven Secretary.
At that time, Avalon had become the Kingdom of Shadows. Judging from the fact that Haina had turned into a "hyena" at that time, Eagle Point Village probably no longer existed.
In other words, the "Aiwass" in the original plot was in the Theocracy. After the plot of Star Antimony ended, he returned to Avalon with the player, and suddenly changed his profession to become the Scholar of Sin.
It was most likely that Aiwass obtained the "Book of Law" at that time and was able to pull out the promotion route from the Sin Scholar to the Lord of the Beast out of thin air!
[You must know that those chosen as the apostles and sacrifices of the pillars are the sacrifices of the great beasts]
【Words that restrain great sins!】
The words of that divine being rang in the heart of Aiwass.
——Big beast, big sin.
...No wonder, the grimoire I got is actually the special weapon of the scholar of mortal sin that does not exist in the current version.
Aiwass didn't think much about it when he got it, but now he finally realized it——
The causal relationship is reversed!
Antecedent, consequence——
The original Aiwass got this book, and then he had these two careers!
