Fast forward and it's Sunday.

The Lloyd's pre-arranged attack was supposed to be next week, the Noble Red Society was suddenly silent, the news of Professor Moriarty Sr. had not yet arrived, the Secretary of State for Trade was motionless, and Miss Assassin's superior had still not been found.

It was an unusually quiet, very peaceful week.

It was even quiet enough to make Lily a little restless.

But everyone is enjoying themselves, and probably the only one who feels bad is Sherlock.

His character is always idle. Usually he has to find something to do for himself in order to use his unstoppable brain. Now that he had forced himself to take a vacation, he couldn't make any noise—according to Hayna, he was already idle at the bishop's house studying spells by the end of the week.

He also tohaina and brought back a letter with a lot of words to Ehuas. It is a dense list of the various problems that Ivers may encounter at Lloyd's, and how to deal with them; And put forward seven conjectures that can only be verified by Lloyd's identity, so that Ivas can verify it when he has time.

The number of words in this letter shows how much he cared for Evas, and how uncomfortable he was.

And Iwas, of course, didn't have time.

He rarely had nothing to do, so he went to class quietly for a week. Step-by-step learning of occult knowledge is carried out through the school library. It didn't even take him much experience before he naturally rose to rank nine.

Ivus is like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge. After reviewing his studies and reading the two books he had borrowed, he began to teach himself elvish again in his spare time—because his prayer teacher, Ms. Maya, planned to borrow him a tantric book on the path of dedication, which was translated into Elvish.

In order to understand this tantric book, Ivus had already begun to prepare in advance.

The only thing that surprised Eivers a little was ...... It really took Lily only a week to reach the peak of the first energy level.

Strictly speaking, not even a week. By Thursday, she had already touched the wall of the second energy level. It was three days earlier than the best-case scenario that Ivas expected.

This means that this New Moon Ritual can indeed be promoted with Lily - after all, they are both in Avalon, and it is very rare to adapt to or transcend the path, which also means that they will almost certainly be in line tonight.

And considering the house at 14 Ronin Street, Isabel has the key......

Although it is unlikely, considering the possibility that she came to play with Ivus on Sunday night, Ivus still gave the mentor a Monday off in advance, and took Lily home to prepare for the promotion ceremony and prepare to seal the Flame Butterfly.

When they got home, Ivas found out...... The Golden Dawn, which Master Janis had said before, had been sent over and loaded.

When Ivas arrived home on Sunday morning, he found the living room so bright.

It's as if it wasn't a wall, but a huge window that spanned time and space—

A pure golden glow mixed with the crimson morning sun rises from the middle of the sacred structure made of gold. The Nephthys guards of the Horus Empire worshipped the sun directly below, their figures small, vague, but very realistic. The light pierces through the surrounding buildings made of crystal and gold, repeatedly refracting and shining with a misty halo. Even though it was only a silent painting, it seemed that the solemn praise could be faintly heard.

The window creates a strange visual error – it looks like it's looking out of the window, but at the same time it feels like it's "looking at it from a flush angle" and "it's like it's looking down from the sky".

As Eivas came in through the doorway and walked forward, as he looked at the painting at an angle and distance, so did the angle at which the light was emitted, and the perspective of the surrounding buildings and the angle at which they reflected the light.

The surrounding buildings are real and detailed, even the bricks protruding from the wall and the peeling patch of gold paint are extremely clear. However, if you look at the whole painting directly, it seems that you can faintly see a golden falcon flying in the blue sky from the repeated light refracted by these sacred buildings and the layering of these buildings themselves.

This is the first time Iwass has seen "Golden Dawn" in reality. It was so divine and glorious that Ivas felt his heart clear and serene just by looking at it.

Even those who are completely ignorant of art can understand the beauty of this painting when they see it. This is indeed the pinnacle of Janis's magic paintings, in terms of pure technique.

"When this painting was delivered, Master Edward was very surprised."

The old butler Oswald followed Ivus like a ghost with his hands behind his back and whispered, "After repeatedly confirming that this was a gift from Master Janis to Master Evas, he kept saying things like 'incredible' and 'how could this be'. It took a long phone call in the middle of the night to figure out what was going on. ”

His dry, wrinkled face was full of wrinkled smiles, and his wolf-green pupils narrowed with pleasure.

"Does Master Ivas like it?"

"Of course I do."

Ivas laughed, "It's not just this painting......

As he spoke, he looked at the portrait hanging on the other wall.

That's the painting Isabel painted for him.

In that painting, Isabel did not draw the wheelchair behind Ivus, and naturally there was no Lily standing behind him. The setting is not a classroom...... Rather, it is a sky full of morning glow.

I don't know if it was a deliberate creation or a coincidence, the background of that painting is like a watered-down version of "Golden Dawn". It was as if the two paintings were in the same time and space, except that Ivas was a little farther away from them, looking down on them from a high vantage point.

Placed together, these two paintings show that Isabel's technique is clearly not mature enough.

In the painting, Ivas will sway and breathe slightly, blink slowly, and his sideburns hair will also sway in the wind, looking like an L2D character from a mobile game gacha. It's also beautiful, but it's just beautiful. Even the movements are not very natural...... The outstretched hand was not so much a greeting or a lecture as it was a hand at someone.

But even so, Iwass still prefers it.

"For the temple of Horus does not belong to me, and the shining sun does not belong to me. But it's completely mine. ”

Ivus looked at the painting and said earnestly.

After painting the picture completely, Isabel also felt that she had not drawn it well enough. She told Ivus that she was going to paint another picture of Ivus when she advanced again.

But according to Ivus's knowledge, she will not stop there. When her skills are refined again, she will draw a better picture.

Eventually, Eivers was able to put the paintings together. It will be his photo album, his memories.

Behind him, Lily flattened her mouth silently, not saying a word.

Although she didn't feel that she should be painted in this painting...... But she thinks that Her Royal Highness the princess has even lost the wheelchair of Master Eivas, is this not very real?

But at this moment, Lily had an indescribable joy in her heart.

Although Princess Isabel and Ivus have become closer, the identity of Ivus's hidden demon scholar is still known only to her. She was the only one who could join Ivus in the most dangerous crescent moon ritual of all.

Even Ivas stepped straight out of his wheelchair and personally arranged the ceremony in Ivace's room with her—

The ritual of the crescent moon ceremony is completely different from the full moon ceremony.

Because there is no such thing as a teammate, there is naturally no need to give it up.

The crescent moon ritual is more dark than the full moon ritual, which necessitates a more brutal and dangerous ritual.

Under the command of Ivus, Lily fed the poison to a pair of roosters and hens. While they are still alive, stab them to death, sprinkle blood on the ground, and first soak two ritual arrays carved out with knives with chicken blood.

After the blood has dried up, a spatula is used to scrape off the excess from the outside of the ritual circle, leaving only a complete, dark red circle. And the ritual array that was originally carved will turn black because there is more blood.

Ivas then anointed the silver ritual knife with essential oil, burned it on the candle repeatedly, until the blade blackened slightly, and then set it aside for later use.

He also used a vanilla stick made of black sage and grilled a small silver hammer. After blackening the exterior, the remaining sage was burned to ash and smeared on the ropes.

He smeared the poisonous blood of the rooster on the thick iron nails. It was the kind of nail that was thicker and longer than a human finger, and he made six. And the other ceremonial supplies were also made in two sets. He didn't give it to Lily to do the delicate work, it was to make sure it was accurate.

He pasted red and light-permeable paper on the window. Just in case, a copy was attached to the lampshade and a wooden board was used to temporarily seal the window leading to the house in Ivas's bedroom.

The ritual materials Ivus also prepared two copies.

Each ritual material includes a living petrel, the heart of a deer that has just died today, a miniature wax figure of a philosopher, a snake, a handful of black salt, a penis of a horse, a fed mouse, an oyster, and a mirror.

Among them, there is only a petrel, and Eivas will not be able to find the second one for a while. So I found a pigeon passing by.

The material for the New Moon Ritual is harder to find than the Full Moon Ceremony, but the good thing is that it only needs symbolism. Therefore, many materials can be found to be similar.

The only problem is that these materials cannot be purchased from the same place. And a lot of these things are time-sensitive......

Ivus placed them in order on the nine corners of the ritual array—the nine-pointed star drawn with a single stroke, but it was not the same nine corners. On the contrary, the nine corners are all completely different in size.

In order of angle, from smallest to largest, Ivus placed seabirds, mirrors, deer hearts, wax figures, black salt, rats, horse whips, snakes, and oysters in the nine corners of the ritual circle.

The two of them remained quiet until the evening, when Ivas and Lily agreed on a code to confirm their identities when they met. Then the two changed their clothes - Ivas found a reddish and white robe in his home, and used the remaining chicken blood to dye it completely red; Lily, on the other hand, wears a gray hoodie that is very loose enough to cover her face and body shape.

After the sun had completely set and the crescent moon had risen, and seeing the red light seeping into the room, Ivas turned on the gas lamp with a red shade.

Seeing the red light fill the room, the promotion ceremony officially began.

"—all nine."

Ivus whispered, "I'm in it." ”

Lily followed Evas's chanting and followed his movements.

He took the rope and strangled the bird to death; Pick up a hammer and smash the mirror; Then he took the nail and hammered it into the heart of the deer.

He teased the wax figure with a candle and let it melt slightly; and cut off his own fingers, and soaked them with black salt; stabbing the rat to death with a black ritual knife; Use a nail to run the horse's penis through the tip; Pry the oysters open and drip your own blood into them.

Ivus didn't move the snake, and Lily didn't move the mouse - she nailed the frozen snake to the ground and skinned it off with a ritual knife.

But the serpent of Ivas remained motionless, but curled up quietly in place; And Lily's mouse looked up, its eyes shining with the light of human activity.

"All eight are dead except me."

The two said in unison.

In the next moment, eight black-red flames burst into flames. The ceremonial array was lit up and shone with a red glow.

- The ceremony was successful.

I accidentally woke up late...... This is 3,600 words, today is considered to take a half-day off to rest, and I will not ask for leave when the copy is over!

The cat who asked for leave and wrote close to 4,000 words is so powerful (forked waist)

By the way, let's sort out tomorrow's outline!

Cats know you like to fatten, but don't kill them! Fattening, remember to open a custom (miserable and bitter)
