Chapter Twenty-Four: Evas's Plan
It turns out that you are also a boss, brother!
Ivas felt a sense of familiarity at once.
Although Ivus is theoretically supposed to be the one on the side of the protagonist, he has a lot of pressure about his bad nature. It feels like I'm not very far away from becoming a boss.
And in Ivus's view, the so-called BOSS is, in a sense, "a hero who takes the wrong step".
- At least since the middle of the release, after everyone has been forced to bring it up.
It is precisely because they are on the wrong side that they are ahead of the tide of the times; Or maybe it's a wrong step for a variety of reasons...... I became a boss and entered the dungeon.
If they can make the right mistake in the crucial wrong decision, they may be able to survive. He can even become a great hero. Because they all have the same convictions.
Take, for example, Samuel, the caretaker of the Holy Sword.
He loved Avalon, the country where he was born. So after the destruction of the kingdom of Avalon, he traveled the world in search of power. Eventually, he found a way to reforge the Holy Sword, and reforged the key to the Chapel of St. Gnavel, which he guarded, into the "Holy Sword-Red-Hilted Sword" used by the ancient hero Gahalad.
But what he didn't know was that the sword contained a powerful curse. It was thus truncated and sealed by Merlin the Lawyer.
This sword must be used with a firm and pure will. Samuel, who picked up the red-hilted sword without warning, was almost instantly engulfed by a curse that had been brewing for hundreds of years, and was controlled by the light-attribute illusion born from the curse. Eventually, he became a key executor of the "Shadow of Avalon" plan.
Ivas took the heavy key with great care.
He knew how much Bishop Mathers valued the key, and he knew that the other party knew the origin and value of the key.
He was so attached to Ewass. So much so that in order to protect Aihuas, he was even willing to lend it to Aihuas for self-defense temporarily-
At this point, Ivas had already made up his mind.
Except for her sister Yulia......
He also wants to change the fate of Samuel Mathers as a reward for his trust and value in this moment.
Strictly speaking, it's not difficult, as long as he is prevented from reforging the Holy Sword. And the more fundamental way is to prevent Avalon's demise.
And that's what Ivas was meant to do.
Because we have the same goal.
In Aihuas's mind, what he was going to do was to increase again. But he didn't feel heavy, but he was eager to try.
At this moment, a thought popped into Aihuas's mind:
Although he really doesn't remember the main story, he basically forgets about the important NPCs. The NPCs of the protagonist's camp only remember a few, and the rest don't remember when they joined the team at all, and they don't read their personal plots at all.
But Ivus remembers the bosses!
At least, he can be said to be a treasure of the boss of the main story. Not only do you know each other's names, professions, and mechanics, but you can even know parts of each other's backgrounds, such as how they got down this path.
Then, Aihuas actually has a very mature and stable way to obtain "comrades-in-arms".
- That is to prevent the fate of some people who were supposed to become bosses.
The fact that they can grow into bosses that players need to solve means that they must also have good strength. If Ivus can redeem some of these inherently good people at the right time, he will surely get their feedback and help.
Coming back to his senses, Ivus pretended not to know the value of the key, but still valued and appreciated Bishop Mathers, thanked him earnestly, and swore that he would return it within two months.
This is not a conflict.
If nothing else, the incident that caused Yulia to spiral out of control should have happened just over a month later.
In that incident, at least three third-level demonic scholars were involved, as well as a third-level lawyer, and a fourth-level arbiter. He knew the arbitrator's weakness, and by acting in advance, he might be able to keep him out of the show.
But the remaining four are still difficult to deal with. Not to mention that it was a demon scholar who had prepared in advance.
In the original plot, it was Yulia's sacrifice that the enemy was solved.
In order to save the player and Ewas, she took the initiative to lose control several times, and finally fully awakened the Flame Butterfly. Relying on his last reason, he manipulated the Flame Butterfly to kill the enemies and let the player pull Ivus away.
After that, Yulia's soul died. Became part of the Flame Butterfly.
And Ivas can't shake people at will, as he will seal the Phantom and use the Shadow Fiend in this event, and Yulia will reveal her identity as the Phantom Egg. These two secrets of his are best not to be revealed by anyone except Yulia.
Originally, Ivus also wanted to rely on the illusion sealed by the blank card to solve the incident.
Now that he has this "holy sword", Aihuas has a lot more confidence.
“…… Then let's move on. ”
Bishop Mathers steadied himself and reluctantly accepted the existence of "more genius than himself".
So he taught Ivus his experience more seriously: "The so-called illumination technique is not to emit flashes, but to have a similar principle to ritual fire—to treat sickness, curses, and fatigue as 'darkness', and then dispel them with light. For it is not incinerated but illuminated, and it is dispersed by the faint heat of this light. So the process is more stable, slower, and safer.
"Imagine yourself as a candle and your palm is the center of the candle. It is also possible to activate your fire attribute to ignite your own life force, or to use the flame of an external force to help burn, which can save some of your mana. But you have the power of the Flame Vessel, so you don't have to be so economical.
"Then you just need to continue to invest in the light attribute mana, gently touch the forehead, back of the head or heart with your palm, and inject the light attracted by your burning life into it, which can be used to soothe the spirit, dispel curses, and heal ......wounds, respectively."
Illumination is simple. As long as you have a little light attribute mana, you can easily learn it.
Ivas didn't use experience to speed up learning, and it only took ten minutes to learn. This proves that he is indeed talented.
After that, he paid three more experience points and quietly learned the blessing technique. But he didn't show it - because the Blessing Technique was the most difficult of the sacred arts, and he could learn some simple Fire Worship Techniques in an instant, and he could explain it in terms of Evas's natural affinity for flames.
But blessing is not a skill that can be learned immediately.
That involves strengthening allies, sanctifying fields or items, creating holy water, etc...... It's very complicated. I listened to the lecture for more than an hour.
It took Ivus three points of experience to learn, which is a testament to its difficulty. This shows that Bishop Mathers's initial calculation was completely correct—for Evas, blessings were indeed three times more difficult than the fire.
In other words, Ivas saved two or three days and a week with four points of experience – which was a complete bargain.
Because what he lacks now is time.
- Tomorrow night, it's the full moon in November.
The two days of the full moon and the new moon of each month are the two days designated by the advanced ritual.
The success rate of rituals during the full moon is twice as high as that of the new moon, and the probability of rare entries is greater during the new moon.
In a month and a half he was going to be involved in a tough battle. Before that, he only had three chances to advance at full play.
If Ivus is not at all ranked, Ivus can probably be promoted to Priest, Demon Scholar, and Priest respectively during the full moon, new moon, and full moon.
If he misses this day, Ivas will have to wait another two weeks before he can advance. Skill levels that overflow will not be converted to class levels until they are advanced. That's a waste of experience...... That would lead directly to the collapse of the follow-up plan.
As long as Ivus wants to make the first blank card in a month and a half, he must complete at least these two advancements of the priest, and he must complete the first advancement tomorrow - otherwise there is only half a month left, and even if he takes a shortcut, it will definitely not be enough to raise the priest level to level 19.
- Thankfully, the two at the Pelican Bar provided valuable public experience!
Ivas now has fifty points of public experience left. Throw it evenly into the four sacred feats and raise them one or two levels each, and he'll be able to point his priest level to 9!
In this way, he will be able to enter the Dream Realm tomorrow at the full moon and complete the first advanced ritual...... And light up your dedication path directly to the second layer!
