Does Aiwass really need to use rituals to identify suspects?
In fact, it's not necessary.
When he heard Captain Camus propose "copying copies of documents," he had already identified the suspect in his mind.
The logic is very simple.
Because the document handed over to Captain Camus was not a "top-secret diplomatic letter" whose contents were unknown to everyone, but "substantial evidence" that everyone already knew the contents. It was the first letter they intercepted from the spy.
letter.
In other words, this is the "core evidence that locks in Aleister's identity". And almost everyone knows about it.
Even though Her Majesty the Queen had warned against further publicity about this matter, the Chief Secretary to the Lord of the Admiralty asked Captain Camus to make a copy...
This actually exposed the attitude of the Admiralty Minister.
To put it simply, Her Majesty the Queen's attitude revealed to the Round Table Hall is that she prefers to conceal this matter in the past. Then it is very likely that this letter will "accidentally disappear" or "replace the content." And the disappearance of this letter or
Abandonment is the direction the royal family wants.
In this case, we should do business and go through the procedures just in case... Needless to say, it is actually to cause trouble for someone.
Moreover, Captain Camus also accidentally mentioned that he is a "hunter".
This is another important detail.
If this matter becomes a big deal and continues to ferment, what will happen in the end?
There is no doubt that Captain Camus will be held accountable as the sole person responsible.
He will definitely argue with reason and explain that he did not see anyone - he will repeatedly emphasize that as a "hunter", he did not see anyone passing by the stairs during the whole process.
In other words, either the thief quietly entered through the window, took the things and then left, or he was able to deceive the third-level hunter's keen perception, force his way into his house and steal important things.
But things are lost after all. If they are lost, they are lost.
No matter how he explains it, it can only lead to two public opinion results -
First, these new generation of extraordinary people on the “non-authoritarian path” lack the necessary obedience and discipline and are unable to hold important positions.
Second, hunters who have reached the third level are still of little use and cannot even detect stolen items. These are encouraged under the "Sophia Policy" and are among the paths of "authority, dedication, and balance".
The power of "extraordinary people of other paths" outside of China does not have the necessity to be encouraged and developed.
As a result, the ministers authorized by Queen Sophia will face the new generation of officers born because of the "Sofia Policy". If Aiwass does not attack, it means that he will suffer the loss in silence; if
If Aiwass attacks, they can lead this matter to the legacy of the "Sofia Policy" left when the Queen's path was reformed.
If you push back from the direction of the beneficiary, you will naturally know who is behind the scenes.
——They must be the knights of the authoritarian path.
Do you still need to use rituals to track down the identity of the thief, and then slowly follow the clues to investigate?
Not needed at all.
As long as you know who the mastermind is behind the scenes, it doesn't matter who actually did it.
Although Aiwass doesn't usually like reasoning, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have this ability. He just likes to solve problems in a more direct and straightforward way.
Aiwass can become one of the few friends recognized by Sherlock, not just because he knows some miscellaneous knowledge that is temporarily unavailable... After all, being knowledgeable and being smart are two different things.
But on the other hand, Aiwass needs to let others know that he has used the ritual.
However, the object-finding ritual is bound to fail.
The person who stole the thing must have taken precautions against divination, or had already gotten rid of it. Once it changes hands too many times and is contaminated by too many people, it will be difficult to find the lost object in the finding ritual.
Aiwass has no interest in being led around the city like a dog by clues, whether true or false, and being laughed at.
——Since the clues are likely to be erased.
It's better to just create the evidence yourself.
Aiwass took out the ritual materials from his shoulder bag and began to prepare for the ceremony in front of Captain Camus.
A bottle of rest tree essential oil, a bottle of clary sage essential oil, a small amount of fine hairs from a kitten's feet, snake skin ointment, moth scale powder. There are also those refined by Yulia, which Lily did not use in the previous battle.
Snake venom ointment, and Aiwass' blood added to Lily's magic power.
These are all the materials Aiwass collected, purchased or made last night.
The essential oils are freshly purchased from the "King". Moth scale powder is a commonly used ritual material... but it is not easy to find kitten hair clippings.
As for snake skin ointment, it is a typical therapeutic ointment made for road use.
It needs to use descaled snake skin, slowly roast it over a slow fire, and add some herbs that stop bleeding and promote muscle growth, and finally boil it into a bowl of thick black soup. Then it is cooled and dried in a cool place, and ground into powder.
Then add sesame oil and honey and stir to form a paste, which can be stored for a long time.
Such a plaster can be used to stop bleeding and build muscle... Of course, the effect is definitely not as good as the alchemical mixture and the witch's potion. Only extraordinary people who are adapted to the path can take full effect. Those adventurers who travel in remote areas far away from towns
Archaeologists and archaeologists will bring some with them.
Under the watchful eye of Captain Camus, Aiwass dropped the blood infused with Lily's mana into the moth's phosphorus powder, shook it gently and stirred it evenly. Then he soaked the cat's fur in the essential oil of the sabbath tree, and then mixed the snake skin ointment and snake venom.
Mix together and add half of the clary sage essential oil to dissolve.
So Aiwass got three tubes of liquids of different colors.
Dark brown, dark red, dark green.
Aiwass injected his dark magic power into each of them, and then poured the three bottles of liquid in front of his eyes, letting them flow into three pools of liquid and gradually blending together.
He believed that Captain Camus must not be able to understand this ritual and material.
Because what Aiwass wants to perform is not an object-finding ritual at all.
Aiwass opened his lips lightly and said silently: "I respectfully invite Gray Tiansi..."
"The Tiansi who is neither true nor false, the Tiansi who is silent and speechless——
"Let me be as light as a cat, as erratic as a moth, and as vicious as a snake...
"Give me the lie of ambiguity and silence!"
As Aiwass chanted silently, the three pools of liquid in front of him gradually evaporated and mixed in front of him.
Three clouds of smoke of different colors gathered together and eventually turned into a dull gray-white color.
Aiwass took a deep breath of the smoke, and then seemed to have fallen into some kind of illusion, staring blankly ahead. A layer of gray mist covered his pupils.
But in fact, Aiwass did not fall into hallucination.
This ritual is called "Centipede's Steps" and is a ritual recorded in Lily's tantra book. The most important material is the "breath of lies", which is Lily's blood, or mana, or the illusion she created.
Spider silk.
Its effect is simple and effective, which is to hide Aiwass from the dimension of prophecy and divination.
Aiwass will be temporarily absent-minded because he now needs to carefully weave his "false destination."
During the duration of this ritual, prophecies and divination methods at the fourth energy level and below will be interfered with.
If someone probes Aiwass' use of rituals within the duration, they will see the "false behavior" he weaves at this moment. The more unreasonable the false behavior is and the greater the gap between it and the real logic, the shorter the duration.
From the moment Aiwass arrives in Captain Camus's study, his true whereabouts will be hidden.
The "lie" Aiwass spun is very simple - that is, Aiwass left and went home on his own after checking the intelligence.
Before arriving home, he was attacked by "Aleister" lurking in the shadows, seriously injured and kidnapped.
In front of Captain Camus, Aiwass completed his ritual.
"how?"
Seeing Aiwass open his eyes, the captain asked nervously and expectantly: "Have you found it?"
"found it."
Aiwass sighed and said softly.
"What's wrong?"
The captain was a little nervous: "Is there any trouble?"
He witnessed Aiwass's "divination" and could testify for Aiwass that Aiwass' information was obtained from divination - of course he did not lie, because he really thought so. No one's lie detector could detect it.
.
"It's the Lord of the Admiralty."
Aiwass' mood was low, as if he felt betrayed, and he replied softly: "The letter is with him. And he seems to be... quite familiar with Miss Aleister."
