After the ziggurat flew to Avalon and landed in Eagle Point Village as previously agreed, Aiwass rushed over from Glass Island as soon as possible.
Aiwass stopped by Eagle Point Village and said hello to the friends and elders he met last year, and told them that the ziggurat was about to fall nearby.
It seems that the last time I came to Eagle Point Village was last year. But everyone still remembers Aiwass.
After all, this is a rare big man in this small village. But even so, the villagers' attitude towards Aiwass is neither fearful nor flattering - just like treating the children of acquaintances, their attitude is friendly and natural.
This makes Aiwass feel pretty good.
It feels like when you go to college away from home, you rarely come back home during the holidays to say hello to your friendly neighbors.
Although this is not Aiwass' home, it gives him the illusion of "going home".
Perhaps because of the Wild Hunt that is seen every day, the residents of Eagle Point Village are very calm about the undead and have a high level of acceptance. When they heard that the Necromancers were going to settle nearby, they were not at all afraid, but rather curious; but I heard that the Necromancers were going to settle nearby.
There is a group of young men, and the little girl will probably visit Yingjia Village frequently in the future. Everyone in the village is very happy.
It's rare to meet people from the earthly world here - even though these people from the earthly world don't seem to be very earthly, they are better than visiting the wild hunting world.
After making an agreement with the villagers, Aiwass went to visit the ziggurat.
What he still remembers——
The vice-principal whose name sounded like he failed the art exam and was going to fight in World War II, left a gift for Aiwass - or a legacy. He said that if he could successfully conquer the Fallen Sky Division, he would go and take it away.
This actually made Aiwass a little interested. He originally just planned to fulfill the agreement, but now it seems...it seems to be really a good thing?
After the old Lich drove the ziggurat for a long distance, he sent a message to Aiwass.
At that time, Aiwass curiously asked him what Vice Principal Adolf had left for him, but the old man insisted that Aiwass see it for himself.
Come then.
This time, it was no longer Adolf who welcomed Aiwass into the ziggurat.
It's a guy who looks quite familiar.
"Albert, long time no see."
Aiwass smiled and said hello.
This young necromancer who has the same name as his father-in-law, judging by his current robe, has probably inherited the name of the Black Prime Minister... Although the Ziggurat has left Star Antimony now, he can no longer be called a "prime minister".
"Sir, long time no see!"
And Albert Lorey looked at Aiwass with great respect and enthusiasm - he was obviously excited about Aiwass defeating the Fallen Sky Division.
Compared to most Avalonians who have no clear idea of the Fallen Division, Albert is one of the few people who clearly knows the value of Aiwass.
"Just call me Aiwass," Aiwass corrected the other party's too humble words, "Mr. Grunewald usually doesn't care about things, but you will be the master of the ziggurat from now on. We are on the same level...
…Maybe I’ll need your help with something else in the future.”
"Can……"
Albert was a little hesitant.
"What are you so nervous about? Do you still have authoritarian traits after landing in Avalon?"
Aiwass patted him on the shoulder and changed the topic: "Where is the girl?"
"……who?"
Albert hesitated.
Because he didn't know whether Aiwass was referring to Aurora or Christina.
"That's the girl you like."
Aiwass said.
"...Aurora?"
Albert blushed and realized that he seemed to have self-destructed.
He turned his head slightly, and while changing the topic, he brought Aiwass in: "She followed Master Chongbo to learn the art of preservation. Master Rare took a fancy to her qualifications... They went to the Yongshuang Empire, seemingly to help her
Complete a inheritance ceremony."
"It's quite impressive," Aiwass praised. "You have inherited Mr. Adolf's inheritance, and Aurora has also inherited Master Insect Amber's preservation technique. You are the future of the ziggurat."
This time Albert was not modest.
He just replied seriously: "I will continue to inherit this inheritance."
Aiwass smiled and nodded.
Albert took Aiwass to the storage room he had visited once before - it was an "icehouse" that used the Lich Phylacterium to freeze external time and thus preserve items permanently. Adolf von Menzel left
The inheritance given to Aiwass was stored here by himself.
After Albert applied the authentication spell to Aiwass, he put Aiwass in.
And just after entering the storage room...Aiwass opened his eyes slightly.
——That is a magic painting.
Aiwass has seen many magic paintings.
But those are all magic paintings created by "art masters". In addition to Master Yannis, a camera expert who prefers a balanced path, there is Isabel who inherited Master Yannis's artistic theory.
But the magic painting in front of us now was created by a "mysterious painter" who prefers the path of dusk.
——How can you describe this painting?
It was an extremely pale painting.
It seems to be dyed with all colors, but all colors have faded.
It is like a pure white canvas, but it is whiter than white. If you mix many colors, you will get as dark as night; but if you mix the brilliance of various colors, you will get as white as the sun. From
It can be concluded from this that color is the opposite of light and is a trace of light.
——The magic painting in front of you is a painting created with "light" as the pigment.
Aiwass stared at the extremely pale painting and walked forward slowly.
His pupils ignited with light unconsciously and turned into glass as transparent as glass.
As Aiwass stepped forward, the white canvas reflected scenes like hallucinations——
a charred human figure tied to a cross and burned;
A rose that bloomed and withered;
A munia flying over the branches;
A three-candlestick with two candles, black on the left and white on the right;
a swaddle in which a baby is wrapped;
A snake biting its own tail...
…
Not only does a painting change when you take one step, but there is a completely different simple painting in "every frame" close to it. When these paintings are piled up, they seem to narrate life and depict the truth.
The further Aiwass moved forward, the more transparent his pupils became.
Golden brilliance seemed to overflow from the bottom of his pupils, with a divine glow overflowing.
From the snow-like whiteness, Aiwass saw the unborn sun.
When the countless hallucinations before his eyes dissipated, he happened to walk up to the painting and stretched out his hand to touch the painting gently.
Of course, the system did not display any prompts. After all, it is just a painting... It contains the power of the Dusk Path, but it is about the same level as "Golden Dawn".
However, Aiwass attached great importance to this painting.
It was not because the hallucination was like some kind of fable or revelation... but because he actually vaguely sensed a clear sense of divinity from it!
This horrified Aiwass.
...This means that the raw materials used to draw this painting even include Adolf's soul and memory.
Aiwass originally thought that Adolf would ascend to the Dream Realm - with his achievements and abilities, it was almost certain that he would become the apostle of the Winter Division.
However, Adolf rejected this possibility.
He cut off his own future.
He used his own soul and memory to create this painting at the cost of his own complete demise. In other words, the paint of this painting is an "apostle who voluntarily sacrificed everything". He sacrificed everything...
It was a complete "act of devotion," even a more complete sacrifice than Sister Sasha.
——An act of devotion will light up the light; pure nothingness will bring darkness.
Even Sister Sasha only offered her hands, feet, eyes and skin!
And he completely gave up everything.
Even the eternal self, after giving up ten times, still retains the purest self...
But he voluntarily fell into nothingness.
Leaving no escape route, even cutting off the possibility of being resurrected... I would rather turn myself into fuel and nothingness, and let Aiwass rise higher.
But they obviously don't know each other very well... That's why the "dedication" in this painting is so strong. It even overwhelms nothingness, so this painting takes on an extremely pale appearance.
Aiwass didn't know what other materials were used in this painting...but he vaguely sensed the triple miraculous power of "love and nothingness", "beauty and dusk", and "dedication and transcendence". If Adolf provided nothingness
, beauty, devotion, dusk... Then he should have obtained the power of "love" and "transcendence" from other places.
——Did he make the red phase into a material?
Aiwass had such an idea in his mind.
Although Aiwass also did not know how this painting should be used, there is no doubt that the contradictory divinity contained in it is enough to allow Aiwass to ascend to Tiansi, or even enter a higher realm.
"...It's better to leave this painting here."
Aiwass took a half step back and said softly to Albert: "Be sure to keep it well."
If there is anywhere in the material world that is the safest, it is probably the Ziggurat's storage room.
This painting was so precious that Aiwass didn't dare take it away from here.
He had a very clear premonition.
If I have to use this painting one day...
That might be when Aiwass plans to fight against Huan Tiansi, or against Doomsday.
