After Ivus drank the hallucinogenic coffee, the original forest-style café decoration suddenly changed.

The surrounding brown wooden walls grew and rose in an instant, and all the decoration whizzed and burst into pieces and gathered back together.

What was originally a café has now been transformed into a huge building that resembles a giant's palace. The wooden buildings turned into solid masonry, and the light dimmed.

The books on the previous shelves have all been transformed into another book that is completely different from the previous ones in this fragmentary reconstruction. The light of the setting sun also becomes dim as night...... The room was inexplicably lit with a few candles that were completely absent before.

Maybe it's because of the sudden change in perspective, or maybe it's a side effect of coffee...... Ivas didn't dare to stand up until the intense feeling of vertigo and weightlessness had dissipated.

He looked back at Hypasha.

At this time, she is no longer the petite elf girl she used to be, but a beautiful woman who is at least thirty years old and has a fairly mature temperament.

She had long, brilliant curls of gold, interspersed with a few sun-like crimson dots like highlights. The pupil was no longer amber, but a dark blue, rotating twelve-pointed light wheel.

The clothes she was wearing were also completely different from before, turning into a graceful purple robe. The robe was covered with constellations connected by golden threads in geometric patterns, and in his hand he held a long staff—an eight-pointed star on the periphery of the staff, and an swirling icosahedron suspended inside.

"You go pick up the books first."

When Hypatia spoke again, it had already turned into a mature and intellectual cold tone in Aihuas's ears: "The words of the giveaway...... I'll have to prepare.

"Don't worry, I'll choose the best weapon for her - it's useless for me to keep the weapon to adapt to the path anyway. Even if it is a testimony of our friendly cooperation. ”

With that, her whole being turned into a remnant and disappeared, just like the bookshelves that had been rolled up before. Eivas wasn't even sure if it was because she was hallucinating or if she had just been reduced to pieces.

Ivus turned to look at the bookshelf.

I saw that on those huge bookshelves, there were scattered red and purple brilliance.

The small light is as bright as the star, and the big light is as bright as the sun.

However, Ivas ignored them—for Ivas had not come to find the Tantra for himself this time.

His own construction is already quite well developed, and it is difficult to strengthen it by obtaining a tantric book.

Ivus closed his left eye and observed them with only his right eye.

After a brief dimming, the multicolored colors lit up.

He got used to it, and then looked for the books that shone green and confirmed their names.

- "Spider Corpse Fragments".

This seems to be the ability of the Gray Celestial Division, and it may be a degraded version of the spider silk secret......

- "The Tantra of Killing Thoughts".

Ivus was also impressed by this, it was a must-learn tantric book for Assassins, and it was very strong.

Since it's here in Hypasha, it should mean that it's lost now, and that's good...... At least it means that it wasn't picked up by anyone else.

- "The Cat's Fallacy".

This occult book records the "art of cat-turning". Transcendents who are adapted to the path can acquire "cat steps", "cat swiftness", and "cat language" through training, and those who are proficient can transform themselves into a cat.

Lily might be interested, but maybe either. After all, werewolves are dogs in a sense, and cats and dogs are incompatible......

- "The Theory of Golden Flail and Silver Locks".

This is a book by writers and screenwriters of the path of beauty.

“…… Got it. ”

Ivas found the book he was looking for.

It was a thin picture book with detailed explanations.

- "Hell in Disguise: Interpretation".

This book belongs to the path of beauty, and it is a occult book exclusive to the profession of "painter". It can greatly enhance the ability of illusions, and can learn the "Illusion of Pain". This is an important reinforcement that Ivas is looking for for Isabel...... With it, Isabel truly has combat effectiveness.

It doesn't count as a tantric book, so it only occupies a giveaway slot.

And Iwass picked it up first because the book actually comes with a companion.

As Ivas held up the book, a dark green glow began to light up in his eyes.

He walked straight over and took the book down.

- The Golem Tantra.

That's the primary purpose of Aihuas's visit.

It doesn't look like a tantric book at all. On the top of its skin was written "The Identification and Care of Jewelry", and if it weren't for the bright green light of Ewas's right eye, he would have thought it was an ordinary book.

And when Ivas overlaid "Hell in Disguise: Interpretation" on top of "Puppet Tantra", both books changed-

It's like they're glued together. Ivus tore Hell in Disguise open with all his might—and with a snort, its name became Hell in Disguise.

And "Puppet Tantra" is like a layer of skin has been peeled off, revealing the internal structure.

This book is a lap smaller than the previous book in disguise. The whole body is as white as ivory, and its surface looks like a human face and a white mask.

This book can give the advanced profession of "tragedy singer", "comedian", or all-round talent in the field of beauty the mysterious art of "puppet face".

Its functionality is simple.

It is to create a special mask.

If someone else is allowed to wear their own mask, the person can transform into Isabel's appearance, and then her body can be controlled by her consciousness, and Isabel's abilities can be used.

And if you put on someone else's mask, you can transform yourself into that person's form, and you can be temporarily controlled by that person's consciousness, and you can use that person's abilities for a short time.

- that is, "double reed play".

This is the strongest ability in the field of actors. After using the mask to change, you can control the opponent or not - if you don't, you're creating a clone. And all the abilities that this replica can use are based on its own illusion level.

Isabel already has the [Illusion of Tenacity] and the new entry for [Cunning Spell].

If nothing else, her ability building will rush to the end of the illusion. Seeing that it is no longer possible for her to take over the inheritance of Bettinatia Blossom and become the queen of flowers in the original world line.

And Janis didn't have a deep enough grasp of the abilities of the illusion department. She is a master of art who specializes in painting, and has a little knowledge of other fields of art, but she is not proficient in it.

In other words, Isabel will have to rely on herself for the rest of the road.

- But what good artistic heritage can be found in Avalon?

Either you have to go to Iris to trick a few inheritances back, or you have to come to the church to find the secret book. And the future of the latter is definitely brighter than the former - after all, if you get the secret book, you can still cheat some skill inheritance, but if you get the skill inheritance, you still can't get the secret book.

Ivas put the books away and put them back on the table, waiting for the effects to wear off.

During this time, being idle is idle anyway...... He found a few purple occult books and looked through them with peace of mind.

Sherlock, who was the first to take coffee, was the first to break free from the hallucination.

Although the previous conversation, Hypasha did not let him hear. But when Sherlock came to his senses and looked around and saw that the box was gone, he could roughly understand what had happened.

…… Are the books here so expensive?

Sherlock was secretly frightened.

I had one in my hand, one in Lily's hand, one in Iwas's hand, and two in front of me. Five books are counted in full of books...... Hundreds of thousands of white crown coins are gone.

Although Hermes is also a large family, their economic situation is not very good. Or rather, all the knightly families who did not take bribes from Lloyd's did not have much money.

This is the price of the right path.

And Aihuas casually took out tens of thousands of white crown coins for himself......

This made the proud Sherlock a little difficult to accept for a while.

Even though they are close friends, it's just too much. A small estate in Avalon is only four or five thousand white crown coins...... Not counting the antiques and ornaments inside, this is equivalent to the value of ten Hermes estates.

- Even if it is a big artist who keeps irises, there is no such price!

But Sherlock knew that there was no way Ivas would agree to let him put the book back. On the contrary, he may feel that the relationship between the two is too unfamiliar, and he may be provoked.

…… Is there any other way I can save Ivus some money?

Sherlock thought earnestly.

Even if Ivas didn't care about the money, he couldn't have accepted such a valuable gift with peace of mind.

Or find a way to get some transcendent items and mystical texts for Ivus......

At this moment, Ivas also exhaled and regained his senses.

He looked around and saw Sherlock first, "Which one did you choose?" ”

Sherlock spread out the book to Ivas.

- The Tantra of Foolishness.

"Not bad, good eyes. Super for you. ”

Ivas gave a thumbs up, "I don't have much more to say. ”

This is the one he first picked for Sherlock, and it's the most valuable book here. Like "Killing Thoughts Tantra", it belongs to the absolute core of the entire profession. If you don't, it will be very stiff to play.

The effect of "Song of Foolishness" is very invincible - in simple terms, it is to eliminate all chanting and ritual casting elements of the Path of Wisdom at the cost of increased blue consumption and cooldown, thus greatly reducing the reading bar of almost all spells.

For most spells, the reduction is almost instantaneous. And many spells don't have cooldowns.

At the same time, this ability is open and closed, which is very flexible. Don't worry about the mana being burned out.

Sherlock raised an eyebrow.

- I haven't explained to you what the knowledge in this book is for, how do you know the effect of this lost tantra?

"Where's Lily?"

Lily handed the book to Ivas and looked at it. The cover reads "The Egg Moon Tantra".

“…… Is there a book for adapting to the path? ”

Ivus touched his chin and reacted for a while: "It seems to be the tantric book of the path of love?" ”

"If the young master needs it, I can also change it to something else."

Lily said without hesitation.

"No, the Tantra is this...... In addition to the necessary inheritance, it still depends on the individual's physiognomy. I don't know why you chose this, but there must be a reason. Trust your instincts! ”

Ivus laughed.

He looked at Hypatia, who was back behind the counter, "We've got your pick, Ms. Hypatia. ”

When Hai Pasha heard this, he came over and checked: "The Egg Moon Tantra...... It's also quite suitable for you, the two-sided nature of love and adaptation. "Puppet Tantra"? Did you bring it for anyone else? Also, this ......"

When she saw the book in Sherlock's hand, her eyes widened: "The Tantra of Foolishness? ”

“…… What's wrong? ”

Sherlock felt a little uneasy.

"Oh, nothing. It's just a little surprising that the level of your authoritarian path is so high. The fact that you can be favored by this book shows that in addition to wisdom and authority, you also have the adaptability to transcend the path in your heart, child. ”

- What?

Sherlock was taken aback, and even a little weak-hearted: I am so loyal and patriotic, can I still have the adaptability to surpass the group of thieves on the path?

It was only then that he realized what Ivas meant by the thumbs up he had just given.

This stinky fox! I know that he doesn't have any words of praise on his lips!
