David was clearly quite curious about Ivus.

Yesterday it was Ivus who had just come out, and George said he was going to rest and didn't let David bother Ivace...... So David endured it until the next morning.

After completing today's morning exercise task and having breakfast, he immediately ran to find Ivus.

Ivas sat in his wheelchair and looked out the window at the winter courtyard outside. The dead leaves on the ground were cleaned by the servants, and the great white griffin was running and flying with her daughter repeatedly.

Emily had clearly not yet mastered the griffon's instinctive skill of manipulating the atmosphere like plucking the strings. As she sprints and flies, she brings up a storm visible to the naked eye and a loud noise of "pampa", messing up the hair on her body.

The other large griffon next to it was even faster—it could disappear in an instant and reappear. But not only was there no mess on his body, but he was also very quiet and did not stir up a storm, and not even the tiny branches around him swayed.

"That's the griffon's instinct technique," Seeing that Ivas seemed curious about this, David spoke, "Dad said that if humans can get [Storm Affinity] above level 3, they may be able to do this. ”

"What about you?"

Ivus turned around and smiled warmly, "Is your path trait also Storm Affinity?" ”

"No, I'm Raiden Affinity."

David shook his head and said honestly, "Dad said that if I am a samurai or a swordsman, I can do whatever I want." Because the advanced ritual will only give us enough characteristics of the path, and if we follow our original heart, we will not be weak. But I'm going to be a soldier in the future, and I'm going to go to war. And it's going to be the most intense, brutal part.

"Because of this, any choice that is even a little off-center is likely to reduce my chances of survival. So my dad gave me a clear need for promotion...... Include which abilities can and cannot be used during the ritual; What path characteristics can be selected, and what can and cannot be selected under what circumstances......"

David complained, "I've been carrying it for a long time, it's very complicated. ”

Ivus whispered, "Your father is doing it for your own good." ”

His Excellency the Great Guardian really values his son.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a superior transcendent to attach so much importance to offspring......

After all, when the desire for the path overflows, "having a child" has become the most standard and easiest way to alleviate it. And the ceiling in this era is currently too low, and it is easy to come to an end.

Once you have such a concept, or even just need to have this knowledge, it is difficult not to see your child as a tool to protect yourself.

Because the primary purpose of the birth of a child is no longer for love, or even for tradition, or inheritance. It's about relieving your own stress.

Thinking of this, Ivus asked, "Do you have any other brothers and sisters?" ”

"Nope."

Mr. "Knight" also regretted this incident: "I actually want to have a cute sister. John's sister is very cute, always following his ass and milky...... Ah, John is my classmate. ”

He explained casually.

But then he sighed again: "But Mom and Dad said that they are very busy, and it is already the limit to be able to take care of me." If you raise another child and divide the energy between two people, everyone will not get enough love, attention and family education.

"So at least Dad didn't plan to have another child while he was in the position of Great Guardian. But I don't really hate having a younger sibling...... It's nice to have someone to play with me and work out with me. ”

David imagined a future that he didn't know when he would arrive.

But he didn't know what his parents had done for him - George had been the Great Guardian for a long time, and now he should be stuck at level 49 just like Meg. In other words, the pressure of his path has been building up for a long time.

Obviously, having another child can effectively relieve the pressure on the road that you are bearing.

And in the case that David does not object or even expect, there is no need to deal with internal conflicts in the family.

However, in order to ensure that David would enjoy complete love and attention, and receive wholehearted education and guidance, they preferred to use this excuse.

Of course, there is another possibility...... That is, the moral standards of the Great Guardian are so high that he thinks that this will make the process of childbirth too utilitarian and will make the newborn meaningful before it is born.

Therefore, he would rather endure the pain and anxiety of the oppression of the path than choose to discharge this part of the exuberant desire.

…… Whatever the reason, it's really rare.

Especially in this era when the upper transcendent has a few children or even a dozen children per capita, this heart is even more rare.

"He's right."

Ivus sighed and said in a deep voice, "When you reach the fourth energy level, or even the fifth energy level, in the future...... You know the sacrifice he's making now. ”

It's not that difficult.

For David, who reached the second energy level at the age of fifteen, his entry into the fourth energy level was already a certainty.

The world level cap will be opened for more than a year at most, and this is still without any surprises. Now that things are out of line, Iwass has a premonition that the known future will come earlier or later.

For David at the moment, the only thing that could go wrong is four into five.

From the third level to the fourth level, failure or death can cause damage to the soul. The accumulated damage decreases the chance of success in later advancements. And the cost of defeat in four into five, for now, the worst is soul damage, and the highest may lead to death on the spot.

It is not until the level cap of the Nine Great Roads is fully opened for one round that the cost of defeat in four into five and five into six will be reduced.

If Mr. "Knight" is still so naïve, there is a possibility that he will not be able to advance due to too many accumulated failures.

Even if Aleister could take him once, twice...... But it's impossible to take him every time.

If it were time to abandon the knight and let himself win, or save the knight and let himself lose, Ivas would definitely choose the former.

And as the level increases, the intensity of the promotion ceremony will gradually increase. The influence and suppression of Shadow Fiend's strength will gradually decrease...... Not to mention, there are also decryption or game-based scripts in the promotion ceremony, and not all rituals can be resolved through violence.

At least the script written by Wei Zhe is definitely not good. He's an old man who hates violence and combat to solve problems, and his script must be a category that will flatten everyone's intensity. If his script is randomized, Aleister with his own Shadow Fiend will become a negative effect - because it is easier for others to huddle together to attack her.

In this case, no matter how optimistic Ivus was about the Knights, he couldn't afford to bring one more person to promotion. Not to mention, Lily will also accompany "Aleister" on her promotion. Compared to the Knights, Lily is more important to Eivus.

Of course, if Mr. "Knight" can be trained well, it means that the promotion of "Aleister" will always come with two reliable teammates. In the Crescent Moon Ritual, the advantage of having two teammates at the beginning can be said to be infinite...... At least until everyone else knows about it.

So if he could, Ivas still wanted to help and educate David.

"Mr. Evas," David asked, at last, unable to hold back, "Miss Aleister...... What kind of person is he? ”

- Here it is.

Aihuas said secretly in his heart.

I'm not afraid that you ask, I'm afraid that you won't ask.

Ivus pondered for a moment, then replied, "I don't think she's a bad person. At most, it can only be regarded as a more performative and possessive desire, hoping that others will pay more attention to themselves. Even if you make use of others, I think that as long as the mind is good, the result is good, and the consequences are controllable, then the process can be ignored. ”

When Ivus said this, he was actually referring to himself. But it also fits the characteristics of that Miss Assassin.

Now that the vest of "Arest" is basically ready, all Ivas has to do is go back and wash himself and bleach. lest you act too much and attract the attention of the investigators.

It's like a "strange thief" - you can't be a really ruthless, murderous wanted criminal, otherwise you may be greeted by a sniper; But if it's just a strange thief who doesn't cause actual harm, then maybe the other party will play with him.

Ivas didn't want to get into trouble with the vest.

"So I don't think you've been deceived by her. Because Aleister does have a flamboyant charm, and that is the appeal of a true transcendent. ”

Ivas said softly.

Hearing this, David was taken aback: "How do you know ......?"

He quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but Ivas said straightforwardly, "Because she told me your story - you met at the promotion ceremony not long ago, right?" ”

“…… Ah, yes. ”

David replied with mixed feelings.

He was glad that Miss Aleister remembered him, but at the same time he was saddened that Ivas had become apparently closer to her. But his good education also taught him that he should not be jealous at this time - so these complex emotions were entangled, and he felt that his heart had become very messy.

"I have the same opinion as her."

Ivas said, "If you want to embark on the path of transcendence, I won't stop you. There is no wrong road on the Nine Great Road, and it is your own decision to embark on any road, and you can also get out of your own way.

"But you should only be able to embark on this path if you have enough knowledge. Instead of being induced and confused by other people's words - impulses on a whim cannot last long, and there is no regret in the choice of path and career, and once you set foot on it, you cannot turn back. ”

In the morning light, Eivas's azure pupils shone brightly.

He whispered in a wheelchair, making David seem to see the shadow of Aleister in him.

"Let's see, beyond the common career choice of the path, the Spell Mage, requires a mastery of curses and rituals; Demon scholars master demonology and rituals; Demons need to be possessed by demons, and they can't even control their will and body. So let's first rule out the demons...... So of the remaining two classes, do you want to summon demons or curse others? ”

Ivas asked seriously, "Do you want to have such a mysterious skill, or do you just want to have a longing for Aleister and want to be like her?" ”

David listened just as carefully - he had this problem and had been thinking about it for a long time.

He shook his head: "I'm not really interested in any of that...... I just yearn for the courage to give up everything and challenge a strong enemy. ”

[——Question 1, do you have the courage to live to die? 】

[——Question 2, do you have the consciousness to dare to challenge an invincible enemy? 】

Aleister's arrogant voice still echoed in David's heart.

"In that case, I have a solution."

Ivas said simply: "Actually, there are still some professions that have been lost beyond the path.

"Just as the core skill of the path of devotion is the art of burning oneself to illuminate others, the core skill of the path of authoritarianism is the art of leadership, including speech, restraint, and judgment. The core of the transcendent path is not actually a demon or a curse...... It's a ritual. ”

"Ritual?"

David wondered, "Isn't it a demon?" ”

Ai Huas smiled, "How long has it been since the Demon Scholar was born, could it be that there were no professionals who transcended the Dao Path before?" ”

These words are actually a little taboo - because if you have a certain understanding of demonology, it is possible to know that demonology is actually a new generation of profession. But because of the existence of Aleister's character, it is not surprising that Ivas said anything. People will make up their own brains and convince themselves.

And what he said was indeed true-

Demons, curses, and contracts are all powers from other celestials, and the power that truly belongs to the snake father is the "ritual".

"I actually know that there is a long-lost profession in the Transcendental Path, and it suits you perfectly."

Ivus whispered, "But for now, you can't get a job. ”

"What's that?" David blurted out.

You kid......

Looking at David's unabashed, almost eager, inquiry, it dawned on Awaston that Aless's words might have worked, but only partially.

David's desire and longing for transcendence were not suppressed, but became more intense.

So I was really right to tell David about this at this time......

"That's the [Ascending Warlock]."

Ivas replied half-truthfully, "It's a long-lost profession. Because the incumbent is required to have a strong enough body, it can only be used as a second way to change jobs. ”
