Aiwass knew that he would definitely be able to participate in the investigation without even waiting for the authorization from the Supervisory Bureau.
If nothing else, he can also investigate independently - without being closely monitored by Haina Supervisor, he can directly participate in the investigation as a "supervisory bureau facilitator".
On the one hand, it is the face of the adoptive father, and on the other hand, the Inspectorate, which is bound by the rules of its superiors, has always welcomed help from outsiders - starting from Mr. Sherlock, who now opens his own firm and is hired by the Inspectorate to consult.
"Detective" has even become a profession.
If the investigation is unfavorable, it is because the hired detective is not strong enough, and at least he can be exempted from strict internal accountability; if everything goes well, it means that the guidance proposed by the Supervisory Bureau is correct, and at least it can be regarded as a merit and a stable allocation.
benefits.
Although Haina is a real supervisor, Aiwass understands the supervisory bureau better than she does.
Aiwass had his reasons for participating so actively in the investigation of this matter.
——That is revenge and silence.
The two versions of the story that Aiwass told the supervisory bureau before were actually false. In other words, they were not entirely true.
He was indeed a participant in the ritual, and he did know the two demonologists.
But he was also a ritual sacrifice.
Because those two demonologists are actually Aiwass's "pen pals".
Aiwass has been interested in knowledge related to taboos since he was a child. The more mysterious skills are forbidden by the Kingdom of Avalon, the more excited he is to study them.
For example, ritual magic from the [Transcendence] path, and preservation magic from the [Dusk] path.
The former is the basic ability of the Demonologist, and one of the professions extended from the latter is the Necromancer. Judging from the name, it is not a good thing.
There was only a small summary of this forbidden knowledge in his adoptive father's study. Possessing forbidden books privately was a serious crime that could lead to imprisonment even in a knight's family. But after reading the summary, little Aiwass felt even more itchy.
He frantically purchased some ritual materials, and without mastering any extraordinary knowledge or mysterious skills, he relied entirely on conjecture and imagination to try to perform the ritual.
This will of course fail.
The core secret of this world is "knowledge".
The nine mystical skills corresponding to the nine paths all require corresponding knowledge to master. On the other hand, as long as you master the corresponding knowledge, even if your personal strength is low, you can obtain extraordinary power that is far beyond your real ability. Every time
A piece of taboo knowledge is almost always the foundation of a school. In this case, it is impossible to buy a reliable "skill book" from the market.
On the day of Aiwass's sixteenth birthday, a secret society of demonologists called "Noble Red" suddenly contacted him.
Aiwass was very wary at first. But the other party sent him several manuscripts of forbidden books along with the letter, which were all about demonic knowledge and demonic rituals.
Although they are all small rituals that are no different from magic tricks - such as making people grow sores, treating minor wounds, making people sleepy, or making people unlucky. It seems to be of no use.
But those are all authentic and extraordinary rituals!
After Aiwass tried each one, he became very excited. So he became a pen pal with the other person and often exchanged some demonology knowledge. The other person also regarded himself as Aiwass's friend. He often chatted with him about his emotional life.
, as well as trivial matters in daily life.
At the beginning, Aiwass was still a little wary.
However, two years passed quietly.
Aiwass thought that if the other party wanted to deceive him, he would have deceived him long ago. The value of the secret knowledge they gave him was already quite high - although Aiwass, who had never been to the black market, did not know how much this knowledge could be sold for.
, but even if the quality is not enough, it is already a lot in terms of quantity.
——How can a scammer operate for so long and invest so much just to deceive one person?
This is unreasonable and unreasonable. It is not in the best interest.
As a result, Aiwass gradually relaxed his vigilance and regarded this pen pal as a friend he had never met but was very close to.
A few days ago, the other party claimed that they had something to come to the royal capital and wanted to meet Aiwass.
Aiwass believed the other party without any hesitation and without warning.
——This is the lie he told the supervisor. Because "Aiwass" was not kidnapped, but came over on his own initiative.
They were a man and a woman dressed in red, both with shaved heads. The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, and the woman was in her twenties. In addition to being a mentor and an apprentice, they were also lovers.
He enthusiastically invited his "two friends" to have a meal, and then the middle-aged man offered to let Aiwass experience and even personally participate in the real demon summoning ceremony - Aiwass excitedly agreed.
But after he had been busy setting up the ceremony for more than an hour, he suddenly realized something when he looked at the ceremony table.
Doesn't it require expensive materials to summon demons?
At this time, he suddenly realized that he had personally arranged the ceremony stage and became a "voluntary sacrifice." At the same time, as a student of the seminary of Wangli University of Law, before graduation,
Aiwass can become a priest.
Although he has not truly embarked on the path of transcendence, he has already taken the first step on the path of [dedication].
Reflected on the data card, he already has the level 1 priest profession. After accumulating experience in the basic skill of "Basic Prayer", Aiwass can upgrade the priest profession to level 2 and master his first consecration.
The path characteristics of the path.
Of course, he told his pen pals happily about this matter - although "priest" is not as interesting as "demonologist", it is still an extraordinary profession after all. If you can embark on the extraordinary road and have extraordinary abilities, then it is worse than "demonologist". Not strong.
More importantly, priests are also a respected profession in Avalon.
The symbols of the path of "dedication" are light, protection, and candles. This is the path of dedicating yourself to others and ideals. Only by practicing this concept from the heart can you become stronger. Therefore, everything that extends on the path of dedication
Careers are all extraordinary careers with bright futures and recognized by people.
Therefore, as a "devoted believer who voluntarily sacrificed himself", Aiwass became a sacrifice of extremely high standards.
It was only then that Aiwass recalled the memories of his past life before the death crisis. He recognized the devil's species first and successfully signed a contract with it.
He controlled the Shadow Demon to make a sudden attack and kill the stunned middle-aged man, the demonologist as the "mentor". But the woman as the apprentice was still alive.
If she escapes any slower, she will be killed by Aiwass; but if she dares to turn around and come back to take a look, she can kill Aiwass in turn.
Just a little bit.
Aiwass sighed.
——He was just a little bit close to being sacrificed and silenced by that man; and just a little bit close to being killed by that woman.
Betrayed, deceived, murdered.
The real anger was echoing in Aiwass's heart. He decided to take revenge without hesitation.
Not to mention, this woman has most likely seen Aiwass' letter.
This means that once she is arrested, she may be able to testify against Aiwass—no, she will definitely testify against herself.
The adoptive father's position is unclear now, but even if it is just for himself, he must silence her before the Supervisory Bureau catches her.
However, Aiwass also did not intend to reveal his identity as a demonologist just to kill the opponent.
He has a way.
After waking up yesterday, Aiwass's first reaction was to try a simple ritual that the original "Aiwass" didn't know about and only appeared in the later stages of the game. He used that ritual to replenish his vitality that had been drained as a sacrifice.
Finally, Aiwass basically confirmed that the secret knowledge he knew was also useful in this world.
Aiwass' profession in the game is not that of a demonologist on the path of "transcendence"... but rather the enlightener of the path of "dedication".
It is a purely auxiliary profession that can greatly enhance the strength of teammates and has a small amount of healing and control capabilities.
But now, when he has to challenge the crisis of annihilation alone, such a weak profession is not feasible.
This is because the Enlightenment cannot benefit from its own enhancements. In other words, most professions on the "Devotion" path cannot benefit from their own enhancements, protection or healing skills.
However, it is possible to work as an Initiator as a part-time job. After all, Aiwass's official identity is that of a priest dedicated to the path. It is also possible to prepare in advance to become an Initiator. He is also very familiar with the requirements for advancing to this profession.
Those necessary road characteristics to master.
In order to solve those crises, his main job must have strong enough single-person combat effectiveness.
Considering that he can work part-time as the Enlightener, the answer is simple.
That is the 5.0 version of "Aiwass", who mastered the power of the phantom and advanced into the "Lord of the Beast".
That is the later career after the Sin Scholar advances again.
After defeating the immortal phantoms, he can extract their essence and turn them into his own summoned beast, which is a "big beast" with six attributes.
Although only one "big beast" can be summoned at the same time, you can switch to the big beast that is most suitable for handling the current situation, and then use support cards, equipment cards, and field cards made from the power of other "big beasts" to do it.
Strengthen the current one.
And the most important thing is that this summoned beast is counted as a "teammate".
Not only the output is much greater than the main body, but it can also absorb all types of BUFFs given by teammates.
In game terms, this profession has the highest chance of being kidnapped.
Because the enhancements given by the cards are all noble mechanical gains - such as three speed, armor breaking, poison, burning, dodge, spell penetration, but there is no damage increase gain. It happens that it will not be affected by
The various damage-increasing BUFFs of Enlightener, the most mainstream auxiliary, are diluted.
Although after summoning the "big beast", the main body will not be able to receive attack buffs, so the main body's output will be somewhat weak.
However, during the burst cycle, the Lord of the Big Beast can briefly combine the summoned and strengthened "big beast" with himself, thus bursting out with extremely powerful strength.
By combining the Initiator with the Lord of Beasts, Aiwass can use his summoned beasts as "teammates" to strengthen. And he will not lose the social benefits brought by his apparent priest identity, and at the same time, he can also respond to the situation.
When facing different enemies, switch to the summoned beast that restrains the opponent, and the upper limit is still very high.
In the worst-case scenario, only I can fight against the BOSS - then this professional combination may not be the most explosive under ideal conditions, but it must be the one with the strongest comprehensive performance and adaptability.
The ability to extract the power of phantoms and use tarot cards as materials to make phantom cards comes from the prerequisite profession Sin Scholar.
The Sin Scholar can obtain the corresponding ritual knowledge after completely researching and analyzing a phantom demon - what cards can be used to print out this phantom demon, and what materials and rituals are required. Once knowing this knowledge, even a demon scholar can
Make in advance.
The most important prerequisite for advancing to become the Lord of Great Beasts is to use the Sin Scholar's ability to make six blank cards with different attributes, and seal six phantoms with corresponding attributes respectively.
Then repeatedly defeat the phantoms with the same attributes as experience materials, until the levels of these six phantoms are fully fed.
According to Aiwass's memory, there was a fire-attributed phantom in Yulia's body.
It was precisely to support that phantom that her body became so weak.
The phantom will kill Yulia after it matures. If you want to save her, you must face the phantom in its infancy; and the phantom is immortal... This means that conventional means cannot
Saving Yulia can only delay the time when the phantom wakes up and loses control.
The "Lord of the Beasts" is different.
If Aiwass can successfully create a "blank card" with enough capacity to accommodate the phantom in Yulia's body, he can directly remove the consciousness of the phantom in Yulia's body.
In this way, not only can Yulia survive, but the advanced materials for the Lord of the Beast can also be prepared in advance!
And Yulia can also get the remaining energy of the phantom by the way - making this unstable and dangerous power stable and growable, and thus embarking on the path of transcendence!
The basis of all this is that the card-making ritual in Aiwass's memory is reliable and feasible.
He has experimented with other rituals before, and the ritual knowledge in the game can indeed be used!
However, the production of the Phantom Card requires additional verification. This is because the Sin Scholar is a profession that only appeared after the Fallen Division came.
Now two full versions ahead of schedule, Aiwass is not sure whether this ritual can already be run.
So he needs to experiment.
As long as Aiwass can successfully create any magic card as a demonologist, he can directly confirm that this system is still available today!
In this way, he can gain another kind of power that has nothing to do with demonologists.
His own revenge and silencing operations will go smoothly.
Yulia is saved!
Even the destruction of Avalon is not irreversible——
——As long as he can successfully make his first card.
Aiwass is still too weak now. The only otherworldly existence that is close to the Phantom Demon under his control is the Shadow Demon.
The only card that can be made by drawing Shadow Demon is "Moon".
To make the "Moon Card", no matter how high the strength of the power sealed in this card is, it requires a nail on the forehead of a sinner who was tortured to death and three ancient ropes from the gallows as materials.
Aiwass sat solemnly in front of his desk and took out a slightly black tarot card from the jade box.
These tarot cards are one of a large number of unused occult items that Aiwass purchased when he was a fanatical worshiper of various rituals. But now they can be used to make the phantom cards of the Lord of the Beast.
The tarot card depicts a moon with two towers on both sides. Under the moon is a wolf and a dog, both barking at the moon crazily. In the middle and bottom of the picture, there is a
The lobster crawled out of the river and looked up at the sky in confusion.
This is [Moon]. The Moon card in tarot divination symbolizes confusion, difficulty and uneasiness.
The creators of Tarot cards come from those prophets who are "adapted" to the path. The prophets despise astrologers who also belong to the "adapted" path, comparing them to dogs barking at the moon - because all prophets are
It is agreed that the future can never be accurately predicted, and astrologers strive to create a "grand unified star chart" that is complex and accurate enough to predict all futures.
This behavior seemed very ridiculous to the prophets. It was like a dog barking at the moon, trying to figure out what it meant. But it exposed their ignorance and fearlessness.
Aiwass held his breath and became extremely cautious.
Because he had smeared mercury on the "moon" of that tarot card. He used this as a medium to inject three points of his own dark attribute magic power yesterday.
Nowadays, Aiwass's dark attribute mana pool has a maximum capacity of only three points.
To make the most basic and weakest card, you need at least five points. No matter how strong the card is, the other materials used are the same, the only difference is the amount of gem powder.
...Although such a weak card is a bit of a waste of materials to create. But it is more important to succeed at least once and verify whether it is feasible.
And it is also a magic scroll that can be reused. Once the card is made, it only costs one-tenth of the mana to induce it. Any less than one point is regarded as zero points. The only restriction is that the same type of Tarot card
Only one made card can be used in a day. In other words, if Aiwass uses this moon card, he cannot use other moon cards in that day.
But it doesn't matter.
You can sell it or give it away when you no longer need it - a portable spell scroll that can be induced without mana and automatically recharges every day will definitely fetch a good price. From this perspective, these ritual materials cannot
It's a waste.
Aiwass has injected three points of his dark attribute mana into the card yesterday. Because of this, this card will be slightly black. This is not an illusion, but it is indeed weakly absorbing the surrounding light.
.If you put it under the sun and compare it with the surrounding objects, it may be more obvious.
Now, Aiwass's mana pool is full again.
He gently touched the mercury-smeared moon again, and slowly poured all three points of dark attribute mana into his body. A card made with six points of mana would be slightly stronger than one with five points.
"Pity……"
Aiwass sighed in a low voice: "Let's make one first. For the remaining three materials, we should wait until we have more mana before making them."
After the card is injected to the bottom five points, the ritual is activated immediately. If it is not produced immediately, it will be scrapped in an hour. Otherwise, Aiwass can even hoard mana day by day, and can keep hoarding it.
Ten days. It takes thirty points of mana to create the "Venue Card: Shadow Cellar".
He could actually inject a little more today and start production with seven mana points tomorrow.
But with 5 to 10 points of mana, the weakest "Enchanting Card: Shadow Blade" can be produced. If you stock up a little more, it won't make a qualitative difference... Then it's better to grab an extra day.
With this thought in mind, he used a hammer to drive the rusty nail hard into the tarot card.
There was only a squeaking sound, but the card made a weird sour sound. It was as if Aiwass was not nailing into the card, but into someone's skull.
Then, he tied the three ropes into a loop and attached them to the nail from three angles. At the other three ends of the rope, he used ordinary nails to nail them to the three "Swords" cards.
The next moment, the rope suddenly inflated and expanded. It was obvious that it was just a nail, but it seemed like it was wrapped around someone's neck. The three ropes suddenly turned into a circle instead of a "V".
Immediately afterwards, Aiwass evenly sprinkled the black pearl powder ground in advance on the Tarot cards. The "Moon" card belongs to the field of the path of "love". Black pearls are the guardian of the path of "love".
Gemstones can be used to attract the attention of "Eternal Self", the pillar god of the path of love.
Just looking at it, even a glance - is enough to give the card spirituality.
After finishing what he wanted to do, Aiwass stayed where he was calmly and motionless.
The shadows under him were like wisps of smoke, rising and blending into the cards. The paintings on the tarot cards kept changing, as if another painter was making corrections on them.
When the change in the picture ended, the nail slowly melted and turned into a new "moon", while two of the three ropes were integrated into the two new "black towers" and became
There were two kobolds holding scepters. The remaining one took the place of the original lobster and turned into a black scarab.
The card automatically floated up and flew into Aiwass's hand.
The attributes of the card automatically appeared in his eyes:
[Enchanting: Shadow Blade (Moon)]
[Required: dark 0]
[Instant, contact, effective immediately]
[Effect: The target "weapon" temporarily gains shadow, cutting, and erosion attributes, and is regarded as an extraordinary weapon. Lasts for one minute (+20%)]
It’s done.
Aiwass thought.
