Rawls withdrew his gaze from the "Scale of Balance" and looked at the nearly transparent crystal box in Laigat's hand, which emitted the silvery white light of the lake.
"Yes, even if it is a pure characteristic now, it also has corresponding power. It cannot be touched directly. Even touching it with spirituality will trigger the power contained in it." Laigat's thin and old palm rubbed the surface of the crystal box, "
There was a 'law mage' in the family who lost all his extraordinary abilities after touching it and almost lost control. He did not recover until a few days later. According to family records, the real 'balancer' can downgrade a saint into an ordinary person.
, allowing ordinary people to possess the power of demigods.”
Is this what is called "balance"?
Rawls remembered that in the original work, within the rules set by the "Brass Book of Trunsoest", even angels like Arianna and Klein would be punished and die by ordinary people. This is actually
It also elevates ordinary people to the level of angels in disguise.
However, this ability must be very limited, and it is impossible to promote a large number of ordinary people to demigods. Otherwise, a "balancer" would be enough to break the balance on the battlefield.
Maybe you need to deprive a demigod of his abilities to turn an ordinary person into a demigod?
Although Rawls can give the deprived ability to others due to his ability to mutate after jumping through pathways, ordinary people are definitely not included, and even low-sequence extraordinary people may not be able to use it normally because of their spiritual support.
There is no consumption of ability.
"There are no more records. You can feel it slowly after you are promoted."
After saying that, Laigat handed the crystal box to Rawls.
Having reached this point, Rawls was basically sure that Trunsoest was going to cause trouble when he was promoted to "Balancer", so he was not too afraid and directly put the box in with his "invisible hand"
In "Space Pocket".
Then he took out a note from his pocket and handed it over.
"This is the potion formula and promotion ritual requirements of the 'Balancer'."
At least Rawls and Lagat have not turned against each other yet, and the deal must still be fulfilled.
With his long and lowered eyebrows twitching twice, Laigat smiled and took the note, his dark gray eyes scanning it:
"Sequence 2, Balancer.
"Magic potion formula, main material: one copy of the 'balancer' characteristic;
"Supporting materials: The more detailed the recording materials related to the 'Balance Ceremony', the better."
"Promotion Ceremony: Complete a balance that affects the lives of at least 100,000 people, whether they are extraordinary people or ordinary people. The more people it affects, the higher the sequence, and the longer it takes, the better the effect will be."
The "Chaos Hunter" shook his head and smiled bitterly at Rawls:
"One hundred thousand people, it seems we have no chance..."
"That's not necessarily true. Anything can happen!" Rawls took a step back, put his hand on his chest, and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your help, I'm leaving."
After saying that, his figure gradually became dull and disappeared into the air.
Looking at the place where Rawls disappeared, Laigat raised the corners of his mouth:
"Yeah, anything can happen."
He slowly turned around, walked to the black stone platform where the "Scale of Balance" was placed, and slowly closed his eyes.
The "Balance Scale" looks similar to today's balances, with two trays and an index plate. But the index plate is not a pointer but a brass-colored metal face, and there is no ruler or slider.
code.

North Yorkshire is adjacent to Wintershire, and is located to the west of the latter. It reaches the Amanda Mountains in the north and the York Mountains in the south. It has mountainous hills and forests. It was rich in mineral deposits during the Quaternary Period, but after the founding of Loen, many of the mineral deposits were
depleted, so the population has always been sparse.
Those abandoned mines attracted many explorers and spawned many strange stories in the area. The most famous one is the legend about vampires. It is believed that Yorkshire people have vampire blood, so many people will have dark red, bright red, crimson,
Blood red and other pore colors.
Although the neighboring northern part of Winter County has turned into a battlefield, North Yorkshire, which has no strategic value, is still in a normal state and the bars are still open for business.
"The mine in Mount Kales, I was there before..."
At the wine table, a drunkard told an old vampire story. The other drunken drinkers didn't care about the story they had heard for who knows how many years. They either sipped the brown wine in the cup or forgot what happened next.
Add a sentence to the story and let the other person continue.
Suddenly, the door of the bar was pushed open, and a man with handsome features in a tuxedo walked in. His red eyes swept among the drinkers. He ignored everyone and walked straight to the back.
Although he noticed the male drinker, he didn't pay much attention to it and continued to indulge in alcohol and vampire stories. But within a minute, as a young figure walked out of the back of the bar, the only voice left was the drunkard's voice.
The other drinkers immediately withdrew their gaze and looked at the table with fear on their faces.
It was a boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a black coat and a plaid flat hat. As if he heard the word "vampire", his hurried steps suddenly stopped, and his bright red eyes swept across
The drunkard took no additional actions and continued to move forward.
Behind him was the man in the tuxedo, and two men wearing the same coat followed him at the end. One of them stepped forward quickly, pushed open the bar door, and waited for the older boy and the man in the tuxedo to go out before closing the door.
The bar, with only the voices of drunkards, suddenly became noisy. The drinkers got up and left. They recognized the big boy just now. He was the leader of the gangs who had unified half of the Abelasi City in more than half a year. There was an "underground judge"
"Inn Wright.
…
He arranged the ritual of praying to the "Night Goddess" not very skillfully. He placed three types of candles borrowed from the clergy of St. Samuel's Church on the table, lit the flame with spiritual friction, and then dripped the same borrowed candles.
Full moon essential oil, thin mist fills the air.
After doing this, Rawls placed the crystal box with the "balancer" properties between the three candles, opened the box, and found that it was silver-white and had properties similar to weights, and there seemed to be a symbol of a lake on the surface.
flow.
He cleared his throat, took a step back, and chanted in a low voice:
“I pray for the power of the night;”
"I pray for the power of Crimson;"
"I pray for the goddess's care;"
"O night herb, the herb that belongs to the red moon, please transfer your power to my spell!"
"Moon flower, the herb belonging to the red moon, please convey your power to my spell!"
Rawls did not make a specific request because he was not sure what the problem was with this characteristic, so he chose to throw the problem to the goddess and let her solve it.
But he didn't know whether it was because he didn't make a request, or because the candles and essential oils were borrowed from the clergy of the Church of the Night. After he finished reciting and waited for a few minutes, there was still no change on the altar. It seemed that he
The ceremony failed directly.
Phew, as expected it still doesn’t work…
Rawls knew that it had nothing to do with this, otherwise Klein, who had used expired essential oil, would not have been directly locked up in a small dark room. The most likely reason is that even the goddess could not solve this problem. Of course, it is also possible that she did not know that Teren
Sost's idea is that the former may be bigger.
The second plan also failed.
After scratching his head, Rawls was about to clean up the altar when the flames on the candles instantly grew bigger and spread to the table. When it returned to normal, a burnt word appeared on the table:
"wait!"
wait?
What does it mean?
Rawls frowned, "The conditions are not enough now? Or do you want to wait until I get promoted to help?"
But no matter what, there was finally a response, at least a basic guarantee... Rawls breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean up the altar.
After finishing cleaning up, he sat down, picked up a pen and letter paper, and started writing. Since he didn't know whether Bernadette would notify Nast, it would never be wrong to inform Nast one more time.
…
Saturday, 8:55 a.m., Backlund.
More and more people are coming out of their houses and coming from their streets. These people are either wearing formal clothes, holding canes, dressing like gentlemen, or wearing skirts with blue, green, yellow and red as the main colors.
, or a sweater or jacket paired with trousers, or a dress in dark black with low tones.
They are like splashes of water, merging together at the intersection to form a stream.
The creek surges forward, and multiple streams merge into it, intertwining into a majestic torrent at the entrance of the square.
The torrent surged slowly, flooding the square.
As citizens came in one after another, the square became more and more crowded and lively.
At exactly nine o'clock, the strange thing on the stone pillar suddenly made a rustling sound, which eventually turned into a deep voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am your emperor, George Augustus III, ruler of Loen, East Balam, and the Rhoside Islands."
…
West District, Memorial Day Square, near the high platform.
It finally begins!
Rawls, whose consciousness was attached to Edward Laitor, looked at King George III in a formal dress not far away, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"...I am very happy and very heavy to tell you that we finally stopped the first phase of the Fusac people's attack and thwarted their plan to destroy Loen within three months...
"...However, too many outstanding young people have died on the front line and in this war, including my eldest son, the future heir of the kingdom... They should have had a better future, they should have
Accompany your parents as they grow old, mature with your spouse, let your children grow up little by little in an environment full of love, and have a wonderful childhood...
"...the Feysacs destroyed it all..."
Rawls' consciousness quickly separated from Edward Laito and returned to himself. He saw the desolate winter scene outside Backlund. This was the ruins of "No. 1" and the original target of Triss Chick.
But he had already booked this place through letters.
The person responsible for guarding here is Prince Sunia, Grove Augustus. He is also a "Chaos Hunter", but carries a "0-36".
Wearing the "Crown of Pan", holding the "Lance of Longinus", carrying the "Free Walker" and the "Manipulation Brain" on his body, Rawls, who was almost armed to the teeth, first reached out and took out a card from his pocket
He put the mask on his face, then took out a metal vial, dipped the blood in it and drew the symbol from Mr. "Gate" in the air.
Soon, a complex symbol composed of stacked "doors" jumped out. They trembled slightly and resonated with someone unknown. In the blink of an eye, this bloody symbol expanded and extended into an illusory half-door.
Transparent door.
Rawls glanced behind him and entered the translucent door in a flash.
Alicia and Selt, who also wore masks, stood there quietly, each holding a metal vial in their hands. They were Rawls' back-up men. As for people like Amyrius, Pablo Connelly, etc.
People are not worthy of his trust yet.
…
Ducey County.
Nast, who was wearing a scaled-down spire crown and a black robe with silver edges, walked out of the spirit world. His dark eyes with dark red light glanced at random, and the metal vial in his pocket flew out naturally.
The blood flows out and draws a symbol on its own.
As soon as the translucent door appeared, she ducked in.
…
In the secret mausoleum in East Chester County, as a certain ceremony was held deep underground, a little bit of slightly darker light gathered and condensed into a figure in the dim sky.
The figure had a square face, black hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, a thick beard, and a rather solemn expression.
Her appearance and image are not unfamiliar to many Loen people, because they are printed on the front of the 10-pound banknote. Of course, people who have never received a 10-pound banknote in their lives can also see her in Remembrance Day Square and other places.
Statue or portrait.
She is the founder, protector and first king of Loen, William Augustus I.
She used the ritual to come directly from Backlund!
But she did not immediately set her sights on Bernadette. Instead, she turned around and looked at Backlund from a distance. A scene in the lake seemed to appear in her blue eyes. Then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth before turning her head.
Look at the "Mysterious Queen" in front of you.
"Eternal Djinn, my second wish is to gain the power of the 'Emperor of Knowledge' for one day."
Although she didn't know why William Augustus I didn't take the lead, Bernadette would never miss this opportunity and solemnly spoke in Giant language.
Realizing that Bernadette's strength was rapidly improving and hearing her wish, William I's eyelids twitched. He pulled out a silver stabbing sword from the air with the palm of his right hand and pointed it at the "Queen of Mysteries".
…
The southwest suburbs of Backlund, outside the ruins of "No. 1".
The illusory figure of the messenger Alessio Tamara appeared, and Alicia's dark gray hole was enlarged. She turned her palm over and immediately dipped in blood to draw symbols. After seeing the illusory translucent door appear, she
