Now that things have happened, Aleister has become somewhat interested.
Aleister has long since adapted to the experience of seeing the "plot" like a "prophet" wherever he goes.
Whether in Avalon or the Theocracy, Aiwass views these troublesome matters from a superior perspective.
He is not exploring the essence of the event, but capturing its characteristics - and then comparing it with the few impressions remaining in his memory, and looking beyond the details to directly explore the truth.
The essence of this behavior is very much like "divination" or "prophecy".
But the current episode was completely out of Aiwass' memory.
In his impression, Leipzig, the city of knowledge, has never seen a large-scale crisis of this magnitude!
It has not even become a map that players can use to explore... but has become a copy that they pass by during the main line.
Because after Star Antimony was destroyed by the Fallen Sky Division and split into itself, Leipzig was no longer a city of knowledge.
As the demonologists were in turn controlled by the Fallen Sky Division, the Wangli Alchemy Association disintegrated, and the Sons of the Moon naturally occupied the top levels of power in Star Antimony and occupied the cities that were in ruins.
At that time, Leipzig was called the "City of Blood Feast", and the Earl of Leipzig was called the "Lord of Blood Feast". When Aiwass played this dungeon, because the boss was called "Count" and he was a vampire, he
Subconsciously, he thought the other person was Count Dracula... It was only after he came to Leipzig that he gradually remembered this matter.
Originally, Leipzig should have been a quite peaceful place, but the first disaster they faced was also the last disaster. It was this place that Master Nobel went to when he was searching for his disciples for thousands of miles and then exploded his equipment.
In other words, the current disaster was entirely due to the butterfly effect caused by Aiwass!
It is impossible to find the truth just by relying on "memory".
In other words, this incident... in a sense is the first time Aiwass, or Aleister, participated in a completely unknown incident!
Is there anything that is closely related to what Aiwass did?
The biggest change is that the coronation ring ceremony originally scheduled for next year has been moved forward to this year!
This means that some Transcendents who originally participated in the Ring of Ending Ceremony are very likely to be panicked by the "suddenly advanced exam". They will begin to seek new power in order to sacrifice one person in this event.
is not at the most disadvantaged position in the ceremony.
Although Aleister was not sure that this matter must have something to do with the ritual master...but she had an extra thought.
When Aleister returned with Prince Szijjarto, she used her knowledge of rituals to conduct a detailed analysis of the White Dove Opera House.
——As expected, she found traces of the ritual.
Curses were scrawled with blood on all corners of the place from the outside - the crooked handwriting looked like it was written by a child. It was an innocent curse of "wanting to kill someone".
She followed the directions and found similar writings in every bathroom. The blood stains had dried long ago, so it was impossible to tell the time. Their inner occult power had also been exhausted by the ritual, so
It is also impossible to trace the source of blood through simple rituals...but judging from its nature, its owner is obviously dead.
These rooms with curses painted in blood are connected to form a vortex, which continuously gathers the madness and depravity inside the White Dove Opera House.
And right in the middle of the vortex is the Opera House!
The gathering of these dark forces has obviously been going on for a long time. At least for more than a month.
"I just used a special method to check the remaining soul traces."
Aleister said slowly.
——Her special method is also very simple, which is to summon the little crow and ask questions.
The Night Demon itself is a demon who specializes in souls and curses. To her, the remnants of souls are all too clear. Even if they are specifically eliminated, she can still capture the traces.
"To provide power for this ritual, a total of eight souls were burned.
"And I just took Inspector Weiner to ask the manager... In the past month, a total of seven employees died here."
??????????.??????
Aleister said seriously to the honey badger: "I think this is a breakthrough."
"...actually eight."
Suddenly, the older bunny girl said hesitantly: "Because the eighth... is the victim who was involved in 'that' incident yesterday."
"Ah, you mean Ellie..."
The little girl also reacted and opened her eyes in surprise: "Is she dead?! I thought..."
"You thought she was bought by someone, right? In fact, that's indeed the case."
Her companion shook his head: "She was taken away by her benefactor that day, but before she got home, she encountered an accident with her new owner. And the documents were still with the manager and had not been completed... In other words, she was nominally
It still belongs to the White Dove Opera House.
"——If there is one missing soul that should be there, I think it can only be her."
"Yesterday's victim happened to be the introduction to today's incident..."
The honey badger frowned and looked at Aleister: "I don't understand the ceremony very well. What does this mean?"
"This shows that power is building."
Aleister replied: "Use sparks to light the tinder, then use the tinder to light the wood chips, and use the wood chips to light the branches... This is the transmission of power, which proves that this is a very complete ceremony."
"And this ceremony was not 'planned just a few days ago'", but had been prepared for a long time and was detonated only recently!"
Ritual science is the science of exchanging small things for big things.
Since "a violent killing once a day" is a ritual prepared in advance, then according to the ritual principles that transcend the path... the goal the ritualist seeks must be far above it.
"This ritual master has many plans..."
The honey badger frowned, feeling that he was suddenly involved in a troublesome incident: "I feel... it may affect us."
"Most definitely."
Aleister nodded: "But we still have time.
"The holy number belonging to the path of transcendence is eight, and today is the fifth day. According to the rules, it should take three more days for him to transfer all the power to himself.
"——Get ready, we will take action soon, Mr. Ezio."
"Where to go?"
The honey badger immediately stood up and asked at the same time.
"I trust your search and pursuit abilities."
Aleister chuckled and said: "To be able to arrange a large-scale ceremony of this size... at least he must be a transcendent of the fourth level or above, and he must be nearby and often come to the White Dove Opera House. At the same time, he is either an incarnation of the devil.
, or a great wizard.
"I believe that even if this is a city of knowledge, there shouldn't be too many transcendents who meet these requirements..."
"what do you mean……?"
Honey Badger felt that she had vaguely guessed what Aleister was thinking, but she couldn't believe it for a moment.
As the lover of the eternal pope...how could she be so cruel?
"I thought about it, and it seems that there is no need to kill those scum of Hawkeye. It took three days in total, and it seemed a bit nervous to find the conspirators."
Aleister said lightly: "Why don't we just kill all those Transcendents, kill them from top to bottom, and the matter will always be solved. This can also be used as a gift to the Earl of Leipzig when we first arrived...
"After all, it's for Leipzig... Our cause is just, isn't it? Ha, well, what the hell -
"Evil people still need to be punished by evil people, so let us be the evil people."
The two girls who were deliberately left here by Aleister heard all about Aleister's plan.
When they realized what Aleister was going to do, their eyes widened in horror.
Aleister came over, kissed the little girl's cheek affectionately, rubbed her hair, and said without looking back:
"Let's go, Mr. Ezio. Kill them all."
——When faced with a difficult plot, Aleister still chose to skip it.
