Aiwass and his group of more than a dozen people descended to the fifth circle without encountering any obstacles.
This made Sherlock frown slightly, feeling a little strange.
"Your Highness the Saint...how did you discover the location of the Curse Master?"
he confirmed.
The Saint, whose eyes were covered with a white ribbon, lowered her head slightly and explained to him: "Curse Counter-Tracking--reversely locating the opponent's approximate position through the curse that has been dispelled by oneself. This is a common technique for priests of the Theocracy, and the path of devotion is
You can start learning and mastering it when you reach the third level.
"After you priests of Avalon reach the level of bishop, you will come to the Theocracy for further training. Only then will you learn some mysterious skills that can only be learned from the Theocracy... Aiwass will also be able to learn them later."
"In other words, any bishop can master this skill?"
Sherlock asked.
Hearing this, Aiwass reacted: "You want to say, could this be a trap?"
"...It's not impossible."
Chunbai frowned slightly and paused.
She raised her head and seemed to close her eyes, listening to the whistling sound in the wind.
Then Chunbai opened her eyes, looked at Aiwass and Sherlock, and her expression became slightly serious: "The curse master has not changed his position since he completed the curse."
"It sounds more like a trap." Sherlock commented.
He looked at the papal guards and said tactfully: "Do we need to recruit more people?"
Hearing this, the young male elf who took the lead suddenly laughed: "No need."
"It's really not necessary."
Aiwass nodded: "It is more important not to let the other party escape - if there is a trap, just bite it down."
Sherlock had not participated in the promotion ceremony that he and Isabel had just participated in, and had no idea about the combat effectiveness of the Pope's Guards - a combination of two or two of the Pope's Guards could easily fight against a fifth-level transcendent... After all, it involves manipulation.
The ability of time is not very simple.
Not to mention, as immortal species, they can easily accumulate a lot of combat experience, which is completely incomparable to the quick fourth-level extraordinary beings like the Avalon Arbitration Hall whose average age is less than forty years old.
As for the identity of the enemy, they can roughly determine it.
[Mr. Red Wine] Bram Stoker - It is indeed possible that he is the fifth level, but this possibility is not very high. But even if he is the fifth level, he cannot beat so many of them.
Man, even if he wants to target Aiwass, there is no reason to provoke Her Highness the Saint... Cursing "Zumaidi" in front of the Saint is already an insult and a provocation.
There are actually only two possibilities.
The first possibility is that "Mr. Red Wine" did not know that Aiwass would lead the trolls to find Cardinal Loki at that time, so he happened to meet Her Royal Highness the Saint who was looking for trouble for Cardinal Loki. He chose to curse and kill him.
The troll curse mage who is Zumaidi has the purpose of silencing, misleading, positioning and other purposes.
This possibility is actually very high.
After all, these three silly trolls spent the whole day wandering around the port of the First Circle yesterday. The three trolls with different colors walked together, which is much more recognizable than Aiwass. Someone told them the news
It is normal for word to spread and be discovered by "Mr. Red Wine".
——But why did the curser choose to curse and kill only one person?
After the curse was lifted, he did not escape, nor did he try to continue to curse Zumaidi or change the target. Moreover, the person who was cursed to death happened to be the curse master with the lowest status in troll society.
And another possibility is...
Another possibility popped up in Aiwass' mind.
This is the possibility that only Aiwass can think of for the first time:
Just like he chose to kill "Sherlock" during the promotion ceremony to report the news to Isabel——
"But it's really good to be cautious. So, just in case..."
Chunbai had a serious expression and whispered.
She stopped immediately, clasped her hands, intertwined her fingers, closed her eyes and prayed.
Aiwass felt as if something was watching him at that moment.
Even Aiwass’s system panel even responded:
[You feel the gaze of ‘dedication’]
[You feel the gaze of ‘dusk’]
[You feel the gaze of ‘love’]
[You have gained a temporary characteristic: light has three states]
[Devotion/Twilight/Love-Light has three states: When you use "Holy" type spells and skills to cause damage or resist, you gain +1 benefit (blessing); your "Holy" type shield, resistance and status
Gain dispel resistance, and gain +1 advantage (blessing) when resisting dispel; your attacks ignore the resistance bonus of the "dirty evil" category, and this feature lasts until the next midnight]
The next moment, the light behind Pure White roared and expanded.
Invisible wings of pure white light condensed behind her, opened up, wrapped everyone together, and then shattered and dissipated like glass——
[You have obtained a temporary buff: Wings of the Saint]
[Wings of the Saint: You gain a strong body/heroic spirit/high mana, lasting for one hour]
Everyone's body bloomed with radiance, condensing into a layer of light shield on the body surface. Then the layer of light shield disappeared under the skin again.
[You have obtained a temporary buff: Glowing Shield]
[Glow Shield: Gain moderate light/dark damage reduction; gain slashing/cutting/piercing resistance; gain curse/instant death/disease protection, lasting for fifteen minutes]
The next moment, a gentle white light appeared on everyone.
They condensed into a ball of light, floating from the top of the head. It blossomed into a green light above the head, and sprinkled on the body like rain.
[You have obtained a temporary buff: The Asylum of the Saint]
[Saint's Asylum: You gain false life - the third level; when you are about to suffer a fatal injury, you will immediately receive a powerful treatment. This effect can be used three times and lasts for thirty minutes]
"...This should be fine."
Chunbai let go of his hands and said calmly: "I have put a little protection on you, and also added a very good buff to you. This should be fine."
She seemed to be in very good condition and didn't feel tired at all.
Ava's eyes suddenly opened wide.
At this time, Aiwass suddenly realized something: Although he has reached the fourth energy level now...but now it seems that there is no need to add BUFF by himself at all.
Because in their temporary team, there is someone who stands at the top of the fifth level - undoubtedly the top support in the world.
Aiwass's vision was so broad that he only remembered that Chunbai did not complete the succession in the end... because this generation of popes finally woke up again.
According to the original history, Pure White did not succeed the Eternal Pope until the Theocracy summoned Zhu Tiansi, and this matter was not within the player's field of vision, so Aiwass had no real sense of it.
And now think about it...if she didn't have Ning Po, Chun Bai would be the next eternal pope next month.
——With such an assistant following you, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Aiwass suddenly became more courageous.
He remembered Chunbai's words: "I will not let anyone suffer in front of me."
At the moment when both Gloria and Mercedes are dead, this sentence seems somewhat ironic. To put it more exaggeratedly, it can probably be made into an emoticon, which can be used to express "I can't do anything."
”.
But now, Aiwass has truly realized the gold content of this sentence - if Chunbai doesn't want you to die, it is really difficult to die in front of her.
...and it was under this intensity of power that she failed to save her two friends.
Thinking about it in reverse, Aiwass was suddenly able to understand why pure white became amber.
She has the power to save everyone, but is powerless against Ningbo disease... allowing Gloria to barely survive in pain, but at most it can only prevent her from dying. The limit of what she can do is to "maintain the status quo"
"I hope the condition will not worsen.
——From this perspective, it is not just Mercedes and Pure White who are torturing Gloria.
Gloria's existence itself is also a torture to Mercedes and Pure White——
Mortals can take care of bedridden patients, but even after a few years they will be tortured to the point of mental exhaustion. For elves, Ningpa is a terrible cancer-like disease... But under the powerful rescue of Pure White, Gloria was given a new life.
Two hundred years of life, but it also means torturing Pure White for more than two hundred years.
... Could it be that what Gloria and Mercedes did was actually to liberate Pure White?
If they find out that Pure White Ningpa is dead...if they think it's all their fault...
——At that moment, Aiwass thought of another person.
