Chapter 680 Free and limited-time drinking of experience potion
When all the cardinals were seated, the sky outside was almost bright.
Aiwass felt quite excited at first. But after a few hours, he began to feel slightly bored.
Fortunately, he brought Isabel with him. He had nothing to do, so he grabbed her hand and played with it while whispering about the current situation in Avalon and persecuting Sherlock who was not present.
That's how it is with friends - whoever is not present becomes the topic of conversation for everyone else.
The other cardinals didn't react at all.
After all, with the long lifespan of the Immortals, they must learn how to waste time so as not to let their lives fall into emptiness and fatigue. And the required course is to wait quietly.
The only problem is probably that there is no water here. If you are thirsty, you can only drink.
Because when communicating with gods, being too sober is not a good thing.
Sobriety means rationality, and by extension it means reason, analysis and disenchantment. That is also a kind of disrespect.
Because of this, in various ancient ritual classics, there will be wine or other ritual aids with similar functions in the banquet, allowing the ritualist to quickly enter a psychedelic state that is divorced from reality.
This is also because the existence of "wine" itself is also sacred - it requires a large amount of precious food to be brewed, and in an era when food is scarce and not everyone can eat enough, wine is an unnecessary extravagance and waste.
exist.
...Because of this, they will also be regarded as an "easy to obtain but quite precious" resource in rituals, symbolizing "the essence that allows people to survive."
Just as bigger bait can catch bigger fish, more expensive lottery tickets give people the feeling that the probability of winning is higher - when ritualists use more valuable sacrifices, they will feel that the ritual will also change accordingly.
If it is sacred, the Pillar God will have a better chance of answering his prayers.
——Of course, this is only a "ritualistic" explanation. There are often opposite explanations in "theology".
Because the pillar gods don't actually need sacrifices, and they don't necessarily like drinking. They often just want to observe the attitude and determination of the ritual master.
To take a step back, even Hengwo, who likes to drink the most, still has the sacred wine brewed by the host of the banquet.
This is quite a bit like "I heard that he likes computers very much, why don't you spend 2,000 yuan to buy him a graphics card". Just like for people who really like computers, computer accessories will most likely cost far more than this... The things that God himself likes are also
It will definitely not be the turn of mortals to offer sacrifices to them.
The Theocracy obviously understands this truth. Therefore, all the wine they bring out is for the bishops to drink, and not even a glass is given to the Pillar God.
But there are some exceptions this year.
Except for Aiwass, almost no cardinal ever drank the wine in front of him. Instead, he always looked straight ahead with a serious face, or whispered to the entourage around him.
This situation is definitely abnormal.
It was probably like the big boss held a very high-level cocktail party, but then everything was completely silent. It was quieter than when the company was at work, and almost no one drank, and everyone bowed their heads and ate with serious faces.
When outsiders look at this, they will definitely ask: What's going on? Is this the last supper? Or is the annual meeting also a memorial service?
So the reporters at the rear recorded this scene one after another, and each of them speculated in his mind about the reason for the unusual behavior of the cardinals——
——Is it because they are dissatisfied with the decision of Aiwass, a human being, to become a cardinal? Or is it because they do not agree with the pure white saint succeeding to the throne and becoming the pope? Or, could something happen to the pope? It is impossible.
Is the Theocracy about to disintegrate?
But after all, these can only be inner speculations. You would never dare to talk to others about it - who knows how good these cardinals' hearing is, and whether they have audio and video recordings of the ceremony. If they are accidentally overheard, it will be bad luck.
; if it is accidentally broadcast live, you may not see the sun tomorrow.
So finally, when the sun rose, Isabel had finished talking about Avalon's current situation.
After drinking four bottles of wine, Aiwass had entered a state of intoxication.
In addition to his blushing cheeks, even the depths of his pupils were shining with a golden-red light... Although he looked slightly tipsy, he gave people an uninhibited look of divinity.
It's not that Aiwass is too much of an alcoholic.
But the Holy Tree No. 1 here tastes completely different from the "legacy" of Queen Sophia that Isabel brought back - the bottle of Holy Tree No. 1 that had been poisoned with the immortality curse.
At the beginning, Aiwass thought that this was just a bottle of good wine. Although "Holy Tree No. 1" was brewed from the blood of the apostle "Giant Tree" of Zhu Zhu, Aiwass, who did not like drinking, and
Even Isabel felt good about it...but it was nothing more than that, and it couldn't compare to the sky-high price it fetched on the black market.
At first, Aiwass thought that this was purely because profiteers had monopolized the supply of goods and were speculating, buying and selling. He thought that these goblin profiteers were really good at playing. In this era, they had already mastered what "the appeal of limited-edition luxury goods to wealthy people" is...
Now Aiwass knows that it turns out that the poison added by Minister Drost has completely destroyed the balance of the power of the path inside "Holy Tree No. 1", turning it into a rather ordinary bottle.
liquor.
There is a very strong power of devotion in this wine.
The power of the path inside, in terms of purity, is even much purer than the blood Aiwass used when he first used the shepherding method to tame the shadow demon at the first energy level; it even got [
The pastoral care method after "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice" is almost the same... Considering this point, the giant tree back then probably also had the path characteristic of "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice".
This is a "dedication" from the giant tree, and its original purpose is probably to improve the strength of other devotees who get this bottle of wine. If they are phantoms from the path of devotion, they will probably be madly attracted to it.
If a first-level devotee gets such a bottle of wine, after drinking it completely, he may be directly pushed to the third level. Even though Aiwass has reached the fourth level now, he can still feel that he is
The level is slowly rising.
As expected, the eternal pope can only drink one bottle of divine wine every time he wakes up.
There is no doubt that this is the real deal!
It's a pity that this wine is only effective for devotees. Otherwise, he would definitely drink a few bottles to Lily and Isabel.
When Aiwass drank his first cup, he suddenly understood - he completely understood the Monkey Brother during the Peach Club.
——Experience potion limited to one time in three hundred years. Free and limited-time drinking banquet. Whoever doesn’t drink enough is a fool!
