Chapter 258: Mithra's Worshippers
If this curse were to be cast on ordinary people, it might greatly reduce their ability to think.
But it was just right for Sherlock - he felt his mind clear, instead. Even because the noise in his brain disappeared, he was able to call on more resources.
ββ¦β¦ Why did you curse me in front of me? β
Sherlock frowned, "It's the first time I've seen a cursed master who has the cursed watching the whole process......"
"No way?"
Ivus asked rhetorically, "You just said if it was cured?" β
"It does ......"
"Teacher Ibn taught me."
Ivus laughed, "Along with the ceremony." β
"Tsk."
Sherlock smacked his lips, his expression was visibly soothed, and the effects of alcohol began to slowly rise: "I knew that you foxful must have the ability to transcend the path......"
"It's true that the fox is seducing the Lord, what? Not convinced? β
Ivus squinted and chuckled.
"Nothing unconvinced, Your Excellency Minister Moriarty." Sherlock said expressionlessly.
"It seems that I am not convinced, Mr. Hermes."
Ivas couldn't help but laugh.
Sherlock was noticeably more interesting after drinking too much - he was usually a stuffy gourd, and although he could also be yin and yang, he was inelastic. He didn't bother to say a few sentences.
But Ivas actually likes to be yin and yang like this. After all, this is how he interacted with his friends in his previous life, which made him feel nostalgic. It's just that this world lacks the art of telling weird things...... Of course, it may be that the old-fashioned Avalon is lacking.
"How long is this curse going to be on me?"
Sherlock opened his mouth and asked, "How long can you last this time?" β
"Two weeks."
Ivas said casually, "Of course, it's not like it will be in effect for two weeks...... Rather, two weeks later, there was the night of the New Moon. The Curse will become more potent that night, and it may hurt you. So I'm going to have to lift it for you before then, and I'll add it to you after that night. β
ββ¦β¦ You mean, I've got to hang it all the time? β
Sherlock's face turned ugly.
"Or else?"
Ivus asked rhetorically, "Then you exercise?" It's because your body is so poor that you'll be eaten by the power of the path. β
ββ¦β¦ So how long do I have to exercise? Sherlock hesitated.
"It's going to take three or four years."
Ivas said with a smile: "So you don't actually have to exercise, because it's too late - you must be promoted faster than you are exercising." β
It's a pity that the muscles in his body are gone now.
Otherwise, he'd have to lift his clothes to show Sherlock his proud abs, and tell him that at least he's going to work out himself. Now, I'm sure I'll be laughed at by Sherlock.
However, Sherlock was clearly annoyed by Ivus's words - he drank the hot cider from his glass.
"What should I do?"
Sherlock frowned. This time it wasn't because of a headache, but because I felt that it was a bit difficult to do: "Am I really going the wrong way......
"Indeed."
Ivus nodded, and explained in terms that Sherlock didn't quite understand, "Or rather, that's the price of choosing a dual-law class and leveling up at the same time. Eat a double mana pool of the same color, and you'll get ...... It is also normal to eat debuffs. β
The lawyer's mana pool is the main wind and secondary light, while the mage's mana pool is earth, fire, water, and wind.
The class of the Wisdom Path, the mana pool obtained when leveling up is originally twice as large as the other paths, and the average amount is added to four attributes. At the same time, the mage profession has the characteristics of a profession that can convert mana between the four attributes of earth, fire, water, and wind from the third energy level. It only takes twice as much mana to convert mana into mana of adjacent attributes.
For example, earth can be converted into fire or water, but not into wind. If you go from earth to water and then from water to wind, it costs four times as much mana.
This means that if a lawyer is a part-time mage, then he will basically get three times the wind attribute blue bar that is close to the normal law mage. He can also convert the mana pool obtained by the Lawman into a spell that releases wind-based spells, or convert it into mana of other attributes.
This strength is very high. It is also the fundamental reason why mages can be used as a universal plug-in class.
HOWEVER, WHEN BOTH CASTER CLASSES REACH LEVEL 3, THEY WILL RECEIVE A "DISSONANCE" DEBUFF. Its effect is "-10% Reaction Evasion, -20% Cast Success, and [Mental Vulnerability] is gained every day after waking up for one day".
[Mental Vulnerability] is the one that has to roll the dice twice each time when suffering from mental negative states such as charm and lethargy, and the lower probability of exemption is taken. However, it is fortunate that this state can be dispelled, which is different from "spirit body disorder".
The treatment that Ivas had given to Sherlock was to relieve this negative state.
"Spiritual body disorder" cannot be lifted even by Ehuas.
However, Ivus can put a retarded curse on him, so that this effect will not trigger for the time being.
Curse: Mist of Ignorance reduces Sherlock's intelligence by one-third and negates all "super-sapient" abilities.
Wisdom is a skill type of the Path of Wisdom, similar to a curse. To put it simply, overclocking your brain is a very dangerous skill. If you use it for too long, you may burn your brain.
Or, in player parlance, this is a mage-specific burst ability. Mages can only use multi-elemental composite spells if at least one of the superintelligence states is activated. And with the super intelligence state, you either start to lose blood, or start to lose blue, or start to stack yourself with vulnerability, or slow down your movement speed...... In short, it becomes fragile.
And the reason why "Spiritual Dissonance" cannot be lifted and dispelled by the priest is because it is essentially a super-intellectual skill that cannot be lifted by oneself and is useless. Its greatest significance is that it is useless.
"If you change someone...... Even if it's Bishop Mathers, he will never cure you. β
Ivas was full of confidence: "So you thank me for not losing." In all of Avalon, I was the only one who knew how to cure it. β
It's true.
Because of this symptom, it is also a terminal illness in the Principality of Narcissus. Only the Ancient Resting Nation knows how to use the curse to suppress the disease - they even have a special technique on how to use the curse to amplify or heal. Even quite a few players will go out of their way to learn their skills.
For example, there is a curse called the "Reckless Axe", which has the effect of making the person holding the axe become mentally retarded, reducing intelligence to increase strength and physique in equal proportions.
If it lasts long enough, it can drain the intelligence directly - to a point lower than the intelligence of dogs. And after the intelligence is drained, even martial arts can't be used, let alone calm fighting.
But through the ritual of "iron reason", you can mechanize your logical thinking, so as to lock the lower limit of intelligence. In this way, he becomes an axe-wielding guard who is calm and absolutely rational, but has twice the strength and physique of the same class and level.
A spell-casting class that mainly uses the four-element mana pool, a part-time third-level mage, and the "Curse of the Mist of Ignorance" - this is the standard Sabbatical Ancient Heritage.
Ivus reminded, "The Mist of Ignorance will reduce the power of your spells, probably by less than a third. The upside, though, is that your backlash after a failed cast will also drop by a third.
"If you need high-intensity combat, but don't want to be consistent in casting, try lifting the curse. I'll give you a simple hint of lifting the curse. If you lift the curse, cast stability decreases, but power increases dramaticallyβ
"And most importantly, you don't need to turn on the 'Super Intelligence' skill to use compound spells. Because you can use compound spells at any time in this state. β
Ivas added.
Sherlock was a little stunned: "How can you understand super-intellectual skills and compound spells?" β
Even the average mage doesn't know!
He had read enough books to find out about this...... With so many things and so much knowledge that Ivas usually knows, does he still have the leisure to read the occult books of the Path of Wisdom?
Ivas said meaningfully, "I know everything.
"I even know that the reason why you were delayed in getting promoted before was because you were sick."
"Sick? What can I do? Rabies infected by your fox? β
Sherlock scoffed, disapproving.
But Aihuas's words after that made his body tense: "Of course, it's a hypocritical literary disease."
"You dare not continue on the path of wisdom. On the one hand, it's because Avalon doesn't have a heritage, and on the other hand, it's because of me and Isabel.
"You didn't expect Isabel to be such a genius that she could accumulate from the second energy level to the third energy level in less than a month. You didn't expect me to be stronger than you...... So you think that your talents on the path of wisdom are not enough to sustain you on, and you want to go back to the path that you don't like, but you are better at. β
Hearing Ivus's words, Sherlock's eyes gradually became clear.
- His wine is awake.
ββ¦β¦ So what do you think? β
Rarely, Sherlock showed confusion in front of Ivus: "Which way should I go?" Is it the right path, or the path of dreams? Is it a longer, flatter sand road, or a trail in the forest? β
"Do you need to talk about that?"
Ivas smiled, full of confidence: "Of course I chose the path for you - it is a new path, but it is the most suitable path for you." This profession is called 'Mithra'.
"Oh, yes. You don't know what's going on on Ms. Meg's, do you? I'll tell you about it from the beginning. β
With that, Ivas told Sherlock how Meg had become Lygia, from beginning to end.
The cat went to have lunch and came back to continue the codeword! Send it when you're done!
