Chapter 170: Emotions
The mysterious book that he had snatched from Hilton had not had time for Aaron to study properly because he was busy dealing with the matter of 'Red Striped Smoked Leaves'. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Now that Aaron has finally completed his promotion to the 'Condensation Witch', it's time to start studying this book.
Aaron closed the windows of the inn, laid down a layer of soundproofing and protective Zero-Ring Sorcery, and inspected the confined door and the rest of the room, and then put the ancient books on the table and looked closely—
The cover of the book resembles a layer of skin, which has a strange silky feel to the touch, and the surface of the cover is somewhat irregular, like a hole in the surface of the moon.
Aaron's right hand touched the cover of the book, and suddenly, the witchcraft spell on the back of his right hand lit up, and he saw a crack open in the upper right corner of the cover, revealing a hideous eyeball, and winked at Aaron a few times.
Aaron faced such a strange scene, but did not show any discoloration.
Because most of the wizards' magic books are strange, let alone the kind of books in front of them, even the more absurd and weird book posture is 'normal' in the eyes of wizards.
For example, the standard magic manual issued to Aaron by the Wizarding Academy can also be called strange - it can be changed into a bracelet at will, and it also has the authentication function of 'Misty Swamp'.
In addition, Aaron understood that the real meaning of the 'eye' on the cover was only to remind the user that this was a book on 'witchcraft'.
Just like the original 'Book of Revelations'.
Aaron flipped the cover, and the first page was engraved with the title of the book, "The Rite of Pride"
Aaron frowned when he saw these four big words, and an association couldn't help but flash through his mind: "This thing is related to the 'evil sacrifice'?"
"Yes, Hilton and Judy have taken so many young girls and they are probably sacrificed - it seems that this is a kind of evil sacrifice. ”
The sorcerers' sacrifices to the other world are divided into good sacrifices and evil sacrifices, among which the main sacrifice is based on the principle of 'equivalence', and the sacrificer and the sacrificed person reach a certain degree of 'win-win', and exchange the 'sacrifice' for other aspects of power.
To put it bluntly, it's a 'fair trade'.
The power obtained through the main sacrifice will become the power of the sacrifice itself, and cannot be taken back by anyone - just as the consumer spends money on the goods, the goods no longer belong to the store, but to the consumer, and the store has no right to take back the goods.
But
Unlike the main sacrifice, the evil sacrifice is essentially a sacrifice to 'please' the person being sacrificed, and there is no principle of 'fairness' - you may have offered an ordinary lamb and received a reward far beyond the value of the lamb itself.
Just as two people are close friends, Party A lends Party B a bunch of toys out of 'friendship', but if the two people have a fight, Party A has the right to ask for the pile of toys back.
Obviously, it is easier for the Evil Sacrifice to increase its strength than for the Positive Sacrifice, and even the target is easy to select - because the fixed target required by the Evil Sacrifice is lower than the threshold required by the Principal Sacrifice.
However, there is also a disadvantage of the evil sacrifice - this power belongs to the object of the sacrifice, and if the person who sacrifices does not perform the sacrifice for a long time, the power will gradually be withdrawn by the other party.
This is a 'dependency relationship', not a 'fair deal'.
However, the evil sacrifices are quite closely related to the 'seven emotions', but all the rituals that are related to emotions basically belong to a kind of evil sacrifice - of course, there are many types of evil sacrifices, and only a very few evil sacrifices are related to emotions, and they belong to the range of 'high-end'.
The relationship between the emotional evil sacrifice and the evil sacrifice is like the relationship between a 'high-end car' and a 'car'.
Obviously, this "Ritual of Arrogance" is an emotional sacrifice.
It was this that made Aaron's brows furrow, and he said to himself in a deep voice: "I personally don't taboo the means and goals of sacrifice, as long as I don't hurt people who are close to me-as for the life and death of other people, I don't bother to care." ”
"It's just that the power obtained by the evil sacrifice is not reliable, and it is never the true strength that belongs to oneself - like a mirage, which seems beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is false and panicked. ”
Aaron continued to flip the pages of The Rite of Pride, and the more he looked back, the more his brow furrowed.
This is because this book "The Ritual of Arrogance" mainly records a ritual - the ritual of arrogance with young girls as 'sacrifices'.
The Arrogant Rite does not care about the strength of the 'sacrifice', only requires that the object must be a young girl, and it is best if it has some 'qualities' - such as yin, pure, betrayal, and so on.
It's no wonder that Hilton often stares at the group of aristocratic girls in the aristocratic district, and his feelings are that he likes their 'yin' characteristics, so that he can get more benefits after the sacrifice-
It is also difficult to find a pure maiden in the civilian quarter, but it is easy to find a sinister maiden in the aristocratic quarter.
What a sad fact.
Through the holding of arrogant rituals, the sacrificer can quickly improve his spiritual power, so as to push himself to a higher level of life.
"It's a pity, it's an evil sacrifice, and it seems that I don't need to think about it. ”
Aaron did not intend to perform this kind of evil sacrifice, and to integrate the false power given by the 'subject' into his body was tantamount to making his spiritual power no longer pure—this kind of thing was like taking drugs, and if you get a little bit of it, it will be difficult to turn back.
Even if the worshipper does not perform the 'evil sacrifice' in the future, he will not be able to advance an inch because his spiritual power is not pure enough, and he will stop at that stage for the rest of his life.
Aaron originally thought that the other party was a kind of ancient sacrifice, and he planned to study it, and it was best to speed up the improvement of his own strength, but if the other party was an ancient evil sacrifice, then there was nothing to consider.
"Sadly, the .......... of giving up the future for the sake of temporary strength"
Aaron shook his head, went through the information of the 'Pride Ceremony', and decided in his heart to hand over the 'Pride Ritual' directly to the academy in exchange for points - he didn't need this thing anyway, so he might as well use it.
Nowadays, the ancient sacrificial methods are quite scarce, and all of them are secrets, and if Aaron chooses to hand them over to the academy, he believes that he can get a lot of points - it is better than rotting in his own pocket.
However, after Aaron finished reading the 'Ritual of Pride', he noticed the last account of the 'mask'.
This is something called 'arrogant masquerade', which uses 'arrogant power' to cover up the fluctuations of mental power in the witch stage, which actually has something to do with 'sacrifice'.
This is because the 'arrogant masks' are all made of the skin of young girls, and are actually a 'sacrifice' variant, but the object has been changed from a human to the 'mask' itself.
"Funny thing, I'm glad I didn't lose those looted masks. ”
Aaron put away the book "The Rite of Pride", and when he scavenged a dozen of the Masquerade masks from Hilton, he didn't have to dirty his hands to make them himself.
"That's right, emotional evil, self-confidence........ Arrogant !!"
Aaron suddenly thought of a key point, and couldn't help but look at the "Arrogance Sacrifice" in his hand again, his eyes became complex and deep: "I had only heard of the Emotional Evil Sacrifice before, but I didn't think of a possibility-"
"Could it be that the emotional evil sacrifice will also affect the character of the sacrificer?!"
It seems that Hilton's 'self-confidence' is inseparable from arrogance!

The next morning
Aaron packed everything and set off again for IELTS Province because ........
