When the scene was frozen, colorful and strange hallucinations appeared before their eyes again, as if they had eaten poisonous mushrooms.
Afterwards, Aiwass returned to his seat. His eyes were bright and he was in a pure white void space.
In front of us, there stood three heavy stone doors.
There are different runes on the three doors. On the stone door from left to right, there is a burning candle, a cross with the same length on all four sides, and a geometry composed of a circle, four large triangles, and four small triangles.
sun.
——[Candlelight Gate], [Life Gate], [Hope Gate].
These three stone doors symbolize the completion of the three job transfer tasks.
The candle is not filled at all, but the cross is about half filled. The filled part is a gentle blue-green, but the geometric sun has completely turned into gold and red.
There was light shining in the gaps between the second and third doors, but the first door was completely closed.
As long as one-third of the progress of the trial mission is completed, you can choose this job transfer. And if the conditions for job transfer have been met, the door will light up.
"...Completed two trials." Aiwass whispered.
But what surprised Aiwass was that the third door where the Enlightenment was located was actually optional.
According to Aiwass’s memory, this profession seemed to have appeared relatively later. Before that, the only professions that could pass through the [Gate of Hope] were the monk-type professions - which were more popular on the side of Horus and Parthia.
The path of dedication to career.
But now it seems... these professions in the real world do not always appear with version updates. Just like the Ascension Warlock and the Mithraic Worshiper, you can change professions as long as you meet the conditions.
"strangeness……"
Aiwass remembered that in addition to the levels of illumination and blessing, the person who changed his job also needed to obtain three radiant marks: "Light of Hope", "Light of Enlightenment" and "Light of Glory". He originally had
I don’t plan to transfer to the Enlightenment class, but I plan to advance to another level and make up for the transfer later. Although you can transfer to the third level, the priest can be trained up to the fourth level.
These three kinds of marks require a job transfer mission. Aiwass vaguely remembered that he was running three long-term tasks for other elves in the Theocracy. This job transfer mission told three stories, two of which were "Helping the less fortunate."
"Get hope" and "help the frustrated get glory", the other one was forgotten.
Do another task first to put the soul in a "light-thirsty state". Then after completing each task, you can collect the corresponding "Brilliant Mark". After the triple mark is full, you can enter the promotion ceremony to get the trial task.
.
...Aiwass thought there was something wrong with the process. Now it seems that he has indeed completed the preliminary tasks.
strangeness?
If it is to help others, Aiwass is indeed doing this kind of thing, and has been doing it. After so many years, it is not surprising that he has completed three kinds of marks. But in the "light thirsty state", Aiwass is not
Know what that is.
Now, Aiwass has not only met the conditions for changing to "Initiator", he can even change to the third job of Priest, "Moonlight Scholar", which only appeared in the later period. That is an advanced step that can only be changed by the Son of the Moon.
Occupation requires serving the Eternal Self alone. Aiwass doesn't have much interest in it.
So Aiwass chose the third door.
After he made sure, the remaining two doors were reduced to ashes like newspapers burned by fire.
The third door moved directly in front of Aiwass's eyes.
As the door creaked open, a path of light was generated from under the door and spread towards Aiwass's chair - the completeness of this path depends on the progress of the mission.
Judging from the completeness of this road, Aiwass's "Beacon of Hope" seems to have been successfully completed.
So, Aiwass embarked on the path of light.
The moment he left the seat, everything around him, including the chair he had just left, turned into nothingness. He was walking forward, and there was only one road here.
As Aiwass walked forward, curtains of light fell in front of his eyes.
That’s Aiwass’s settlement points for this promotion:
[The necessary tasks have been completed (points: 600)]
[The heart is the sanctuary: do not choose to hide in Moriarty Manor, take the initiative to go to the Palace of Silver and Tin (Points: 100)]
[Trial·The Will of Candlelight: The total vitality lost due to treating others exceeds the sum of all one's own vitality (unfinished)]
[My unforgettable nature: Effectively treat others and keep the target alive (unfinished)]
[Heart of Survival: Send as many family members and friends as possible away from Avalon safely (Points: 300)]
[Trial·Life Watcher: Generate as much effective treatment as possible (Points: 300)]
[Saving Detective Sherlock: Guaranteeing the Survival of Sherlock Hermes (Unfinished)]
[Love's Oath: Kill Charles Drost (Points: 500)]
[The day of destruction is approaching: do not evacuate or leave the glass island, survive to the end (points: 500)]
[Trial·Beacon of Hope: Save the mortal (Points: 1000)]
[Things only I can do: Stop Star Antimony’s conspiracy (Points: 1000)]
[Ouroboros: Complete ‘Shadow of Avalon’ and increase the survival rate of civilians on Glass Island to over 70% (points: 1000)]
[Total points are 5300, ranking first]
……ah?
Seeing this exaggerated score, Aiwass was stunned for a moment, and felt a little unbelievable for a moment.
——In the end, Leah exploded into a mushroom cloud!
Aiwass wasn't sure how big the scale of Leia's explosion was. But based on that scale, even if Leah had blown up the mushroom cloud herself, I'm afraid the Balrog would have exploded with her. Under the series of explosions, it is estimated that the entire glass island
They all have to be blown to rubble.
Is this still 70% survivable?
The blood of the civilians on Glass Island is really thick...
...Oh no, it seems to work?
Aiwass suddenly recalled that at the end of the first day, Shafiya was already evacuating the people of Glass Island. At that time, Bishop Mathers came back against the flow of people. After that, his consciousness suddenly blurred for two days.
, I can no longer remember the memory clearly.
It turns out that during the street fighting, the civilians had almost evacuated? What was left was only the houses and the people stationed inside who decided to resist, so General Xing Antimony decided to use the Colossus to directly bombard the houses...
Because there were not many civilians left on the glass island, there were not many civilian casualties - and for the same reason, Xing Antimony's conspiracy was stopped because of this.
However, [Beacon of Hope] surprised Aiwass.
Did he save...so many people?
"Mortal person", and... how to determine it?
Thinking of this, another thought suddenly popped into Aiwas' mind:
"Premature death" is just a necessary evil——
That is Professor Moriarty's philosophy.
If "premature death" refers to people who are bound to die...
Aiwass was thinking in his mind, but he had already stepped into the open stone door.
He stepped out and found himself in the sea.
Aiwass was startled and almost thought he was going to fall. He was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.
But there was a steady feeling under his feet - something was carrying him.
Aiwass looked up and saw bright sunshine and blue sky with white clouds.
And he was stepping on land.
The shallow water reaches up to the knees, and below is a smooth and stable land.
But I wonder if it was an illusion... Aiwass always felt that the island beneath him, the continent itself, seemed to be moving.
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.
Aiwass swayed for a while, feeling a little unsteady on his feet, and finally regained his balance.
When he raised his head, his eyes suddenly opened wide——
I saw the "bow" in front of me suddenly lifted up, and the entire continent flew directly up!
The ground under Aiwass' feet trembled. After the overly smooth ground formed an oblique angle, Aiwass slid directly backwards - he tried to squat down, but it was useless. In the blink of an eye, Aiwass
Si slid back more than a hundred meters, and even wanted to fly out under the constant acceleration.
But his slide slowly stopped.
Because after leaving the water, the scales under his feet turned into dry and huge black feathers at some point.
First there were grass-like fluff, and then they gradually expanded. Like a huge ball of cotton, Aiwass was hidden in it.
The surrounding feathers grew larger and larger, directly covering Aiwass. Everything around him became dark. Those feathers were like giant trees that blocked the sky, and he was just an insect crawling on the giant trees.
"long time no see……"
A rough and hoarse voice sounded: "Or should I say, first meeting?"
Aiwass suddenly turned around.
I saw that it was a tall, lanky man wearing a low-key, luxurious, slim-fitting black dress...or rather, it should be a man.
Because he has no face at all. Where his head should be, there are no facial features and hair, only a silver-black sphere shining with iridescence.
——Colorful black.
This ironic request seems so appropriate to describe it.
"...or should I say, have you admired the name for a long time?"
After getting closer, the man's deep and hoarse voice became clearer, appearing low and extremely magnetic.
Although it was completely different from the image described by the Nine Pillars Church - yet such a strong thought appeared in Aiwass's mind as clearly as a knife.
The man put his hands behind his back and slowly approached in a reserved and elegant manner. As if he was sizing up Aiwass, he looked at him carefully, and then let out two chuckles of satisfaction.
"When applying for a job, if both parties reach an agreement...what should you say?"
The man suddenly asked: "Congratulations?"
Without waiting for Aiwass to respond, he stretched out a hand.
Out of politeness and instinct, Aiwass subconsciously reached out his hand.
But just before holding it, his fingertips trembled slightly and he shrank back a little.
Because that hand, like the man's head, has no skin...it flows with the mercury-like "colorful black" that reflects the rainbow.
At this time, Aiwass realized that the other person was actually a head taller than him - he was already over 1.8 meters tall, and this man was at least 1.95 meters tall.
Almost grabbing Aiwass's hand, the man took the initiative and took hold of Aiwass' hand that he wanted to pull away.
It was a very intuitive touch——
Cold, sticky, and damp. Rather than holding hands, it is better to hold a ball of cold and cool mud... It's like a refrigerated liquid mask, and it's like it's covered with such liquid and communicates with people.
A normal handshake.
"Then...congratulations."
The man spoke slowly, making his deep hoarse voice sound like a changed voice: "I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future."
——This man is the Lord of Scales and Feathers.
The moment he came into contact with the other party, Aiwass suddenly had this thought in his mind.
Although he couldn't understand the man's words, he recognized the other person's identity.
The next moment, the illusion in front of him suddenly collapsed and turned into a dark world again. But the hand held by Aiwass was brought back directly by him.
He subconsciously opened his hand, and the hand that Aiwas brought back from the forearm split into three masses of black mud and shone brightly.
There were two heavy buzzing sounds in front of Aiwass' eyes.
Two rays of purple brilliance shine together and overflow——
[Heart of Flame (Purple): All spells that require fire attribute mana can be released by burning life; if you use this method to release a spell, then this spell is strengthened]
Immediately afterwards, an increasingly fierce clang sounded in my ears——
Brilliant golden light hatches from it!
[Dissolved Soul (Gold): Your soul transforms into a more noble form. Blessings below the "medium" size will no longer require rituals; you will be immune to sleep, charm, curses, and instant death spells, and your soul can be used as a
consumables and actively withdrawn from the body]
Immediately afterwards, the last ray of light that had not turned around suddenly began to vibrate violently.
It made a fierce clanking sound, as if something was about to come out of it——
The next moment, the purple brilliance suddenly shattered.
The same brilliant golden light blooms from it!
【Pillar God’s Grace——】
[The Lord of Scale Feather has promoted an entry for you]
[Rhythm of War (Gold): Every time you complete a kill at close range, you will obtain a random one of the seven temporary enhanced states of Fury/Heroism/Swiftness/Exaltation/Adversity/Strongness/Vampire, lasting for one minute;
Each time you obtain a repeated state, refresh the duration of the temporary state and heal yourself]
"Take it, this is your share."
The low and hoarse voice of the Lord of Scale Feathers rang in Aiwass's ears: "It's okay if you don't want it... I will give you other things too."
