Chapter 205: Giving you a chance, you're useless
Although in this operation, Isabel was not needed at all. But as the landing point of the portal, Isabel still has to know the details of this operation.
When Meg went to see Ivus in the afternoon, she brought Janis's magic painting with her.
In order to ensure Lily's safety, Lily had already been teleported to the Temple of Silver and Tin through the magic painting. Otherwise, it is possible that the bone eagle will kill Lily before killing Ivus.
It was also from then that Meg realized...... I'm afraid something will happen tonight.
It was precisely because Janis must have known that it was arranged in advance.
Unlike the outside, Meg's mood is rational and condensed. She just doesn't show what is in her heart.
Therefore, although Ivus told himself about the method of changing classes and various taboos of the lost profession of "Molting Warlock", he also explained in detail the ritual called "Molting Ritual".
But she still didn't change jobs right away. It's because she's not sure what she's going to be like when she changes jobs, and tonight she has to make sure that enemy kills.
As for the curses, the spies, and the noble red, they can be put aside for now.
Meg had confirmed by her own means that Ivas had not lied or omitted.
Meg also didn't want to force a promotion. She herself knew that this promotion was almost a failure.
— but she really couldn't help it.
Even if you die in a dream and your soul is broken, it's better than dying in a bed...... That gesture is too ugly.
And her age is here. With so many years of experience in the study of the occult, she was able to confirm that this ritual was completely feasible after listening to it once.
She was even able to use her experience to refine the ritual – and she was confident that she would be able to "molt" in just one ritual.
That is, to sign a contract with the Ring Celestial Division, obtain the possibility of molting, and then borrow the power of the Butterfly Celestial Division through rituals. The process of signing a contract with Tenji is not dangerous, and the reward for borrowing power from Butterfly Tenji is also paid by Huantenji.
After all the preparations, the only thing that really needs to be taken seriously is the molting ceremony itself.
Like an insect turning into a cocoon and transforming into a butterfly; Leave behind the old body and get a stronger body...... There are only two things to be aware of, the first is to "transcend one's own determination in the past" and the other is to endure severe suffering.
If anything, Meg has actually completed the "molting ritual" a long time ago.
It's just that she didn't know about the ritual at the time.
Meg's husband was a powerful adventurer. He was an unruly exotic swordsman, nearly twenty years older than Meg at the time, and had already traveled eight countries. Meg was only twenty-five years old when she got married...... She had been traveling with him three years earlier, at the age of twenty-two, when she had just graduated from the University of the Law of the Princes, and had grown up.
Their wedding was not the usual kind of wedding with the blessings of friends and family—it was a ceremony that took place before the dragon was challenged. The wedding took place in the adventurer's camp in the wilderness, and only teammates attended the wedding.
The reason is simple - the adventurer's journey is to challenge the dragon. And the dragon is close at hand, if he misses this opportunity in front of him, he doesn't know if there will be a next time.
He was ready to die, but he didn't want to die without getting married. So he eventually married Meg, who was obsessed with him...... It was more of a joke than a formal wedding.
She didn't even wear a wedding dress, and the priest who blessed them was an illegal priest in the adventuring party.
But for Meg, there was no doubt that she was married.
Eventually, when I learned from the only surviving thief who had adapted to the path that my husband had not returned...... She had already made up her mind that one day she would avenge him.
In the past 20 years, she has never forgotten her old hatred. Use all means to increase your strength.
Twenty years later, she is the same age as her former husband. And she stumbled upon the dragon again.
This time she killed the dragon with her own hands and bathed it in its blood—the same thing her husband had wanted.
He is a demon who transcends the path, and if he can successfully bathe in dragon blood, he will be able to gain enough power from this transcendent act, and may even obtain the blood of the dragon race.
But at that time, as for Meg, who was on the path of authoritarianism, her body could not absorb dragon blood. This ritual only brought her great pain, and the dissolution of flesh and bone did not give her any benefit.
And when she was dying, the silver-crowned dragon himself sent down a blessing.
"The brave will be rewarded, the faithful will be rewarded, and the strong will be stronger than others."
The rumbling voice of the silver-crowned dragon sounded in her heart. The Pillar God has endowed her with a stronger law than ordinary people.
She named this unique power the Dragon's Blood Order, in honor of her motivation for receiving it.
If only she had known about molting rituals at the time......
Meg, who was standing in front of the shattered statue, shook her head slightly, dispelling the distractions that had risen in her mind.
There aren't so many ifs. If she had reaped the benefits of the ritual correctly, she would not have been compensated by the Silver Crowned Dragon. At that time, she didn't have so much desire to transcend, and she might not be recognized by the Huantiansi.
"Ms. Meg...... This time the enemy should have been defeated. ”
The Great Guardian breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed, "What do we do next?" ”
Meg pulled herself out of her old nostalgia and smiled heartily: "What else can I do?" Write it down - let's just say that Master Lars Graham from Iris was actually an Assassin who was arrested on the spot when he attempted to assassinate an important person!
Then he tried to fight back, intending to destroy the entire glass island at the cost of his life. Then I countered the spell, and then I cut it into minced meat with a few knives! The evidence is ready, and Master Janis is the witness...... The next step was to write a letter to the church and ask them to condemn the irises. ”
“…… No problem? ”
The Great Guardian was a little worried: "Leave everything to you?" You're not trying to ...... Promoted? ”
If you provoke the hostility of the irises, the success rate will only be lower.
"Hmph."
Meg just sneered: "Sherlock and Ewas, don't those two boys like to fake their deaths?" It's our tradition at Avalon...... After all, Lancelot I was also strictly speaking a fake death.
"Since they are so eager for me to die, then I will also fake my death once."
Maybe tonight will pass, the sun will rise, and "Meg" will cease to exist.
Thinking of this, another thought popped into Meg's mind.
Perhaps the same death as Lars Graham was also a nice finishing touch for Meg......
On the other side, Lily and Isabel were dressed and gathered around Ivus's bedside.
Strictly speaking, it's actually Isabel's bed. It's just that Janis teleported Ivus over.
Her teleportation was unwavering and unusually smooth. Even Ivus didn't realize that he was being quietly teleported, and his sleep was not broken.
Because Meg said it, almost everyone was there this time. He doesn't have to worry about anything, he just needs to sleep in peace.
If he told other people this, he might be nervous and unable to sleep.
However, Ivas chose to believe Meg completely.
Not to mention, the painting foreshadows Janis's involvement.
- If even Meg and Janis are not trusted in Avalon, then there is no one else to trust.
Now the Great Guardian, Janis, and Meg are all alive...... Even in the future war of annihilation, Avalon will not be able to come up with so much high-end combat power. At that time, there were only two Avalon left.
One is the Grand Inquisitor, who is not familiar to Eivas, and the other is the old man who served as the Grand Judge before Queen Sophia succeeded to the throne.
So what else is there to be afraid of?
Not to mention the noble red, even if the Rose Cross comes, they can definitely protect themselves - if they can be woken up, then even if they are rookies or underestimated.
So, although Ivus didn't know who attacked him tonight, he also slept very peacefully.
This was the first time Isabel had seen the opposite sex while sleeping. It was the first time I had seen Ivus with such a serene and defenseless expression.
She crept up to Ivus, trying to reach out and touch his face.
But her heart was beating so fast — bang, bang, it felt like it was about to jump out.
She nervously turned around and grabbed Lily's hand, wiping the sweat from her hands.
Lily moved her mouth: Why don't I wake up the young master?
- Don't!
Isabel shook her head vigorously.
Such a fun and rare opportunity, if you miss it, you may not have a next time!
She stepped back and forth, but finally reached out and quietly touched Ivus's face.
…… Hey?
Ivus didn't wake up?
Isabel was a little surprised.
The last time she watched Ivus take a nap, she noticed that Ivus slept very lightly. She and Lily had just gotten closer to each other before Ivas woke up. If it weren't for the fact that he was breathing smoothly at the time, it would have been as if he hadn't fallen asleep at all.
And now Aihuas, it is rare to sleep so deeply......
So Isabel sat down cautiously on the edge of the bed.
After making this move, she waited a little longer.
Seeing that Ivas didn't wake up because the bed shook slightly, he quietly put his hand on the other side of Ivus's body.
She leaned down slowly, trying to lean over and kiss Ivace's forehead.
But just as she lowered her head, she suddenly found that her long hair was naturally falling down under the force of gravity and swept across Evas's face.
Ewass frowned slightly reflexively, startling Isabelle.
Her body immediately leaned back, and the bed shook visibly as a result. This time Iwass was really awake.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Isabel sitting on the edge of the bed with crimson cheeks, and Iwas, who was still a little confused, was stunned for a while.
…… Oh, I haven't woken up yet. Then go to sleep.
The thought came to him, and he rolled over and continued to close his eyes.
Ivas hugged Isabelle's quilt in his arms and curled up sideways. Isabel stood up in a panic and approached Lily, and the two of them withdrew a long way.
- Did he wake up? He just opened his eyes??
- No, the young master sleeps like this. It's already heavy today, and you might wake up when you sit down......
The two of them bit their ears in whispers.
And on the painting behind them, there was an extra Yanis who shook his head and sighed slightly.
You're useless when you give you a chance......
Update meow in advance!
