Chapter 125: Please Choose Your Dream Mentor
[Grey Eternity is teaching you the "High Divine Technique (11/11)", does you pay 644 public experience to master this mystical skill?] 】
- Confirm payment.
Ivus said in his mind.
As the voice fell, Evas's experience returned to the poor double digits.
It's really dangerous, but it's good enough.
Ivus's cold sweat was about to come down.
If he hadn't killed Cardinal Loki once, his experience would have been insufficient—the White Saintess's mastery of these eleven volumes of high divine art was really uneven. The least volume only costs more than a hundred years of experience, while the largest volume costs 1,000 two.
Considering that the volume was called "High Magic: A Commentary on the Way of Love—Love, Friendship, Lust, and Evil Thoughts", Ivas felt that this was a fair amount of forgiving.
- Considering the problem of Master Janis, the Pure White Saintess may not have studied this volume very well back then. It may be that you can't calm down and watch at all; Or maybe she was absent-minded, or she was too embarrassed to tell Ivas about this kind of vague knowledge. After all, the conservatives are still in the majority among the elves.
The first volume of these eleven volumes deals with history and principles, and the second volume deals with methods and methods. The remaining nine volumes are all methods of communication with the pillar gods, celestial divisions, apostles, and illusions of the Nine Great Paths, as well as the understanding of each path and the control of the self. Therefore, strictly speaking, it is actually possible to learn advanced divine arts by reading only three volumes.
High magic requires digging into the heart and allowing itself to be used as a vessel for the advent of the Great Will. And this requires suppressing one's own self to "make room".
It's like doing surgery, drawing, or other delicate work, and asking a passing guy to take over. At least stand far away and watch quietly. Don't move your hands and feet, it will affect the operation of the big guy - it angers the big guy, the big guy throws things down and walks away, it's a trivial matter, and the two fight each other for control of the body, but there may be problems.
Therefore, it is necessary to lock up one's body, so that one's body can only do a limited amount of things when the will comes.
- Just like in other games, it's best not to bring self-destruct skills in the skill bar when fighting automatically, maybe the AI will use it when you see it. And to do this, it is necessary to know the personal preferences and taboos of all great beings...... This is also one of the reasons why it is called a high divine art.
Because it's really similar to the underlying logic of magic.
If it is said that "fire worship" and "lighting" are the pre-skills of "torch burner"; Then "prayer" and "blessing" are the precursors of high divine arts!
Divine magic prays for the boss to lower his strength through prayers and blessings, just like asking someone to do something, hand in his needs according to the format, and then wait for the process; And the high-level magic is a phone call directly to the big guy, so that the big guy can do these things automatically. If you are not related to the big guy, you need to maintain a good enough relationship outside the bureau.
The difference is that the magic is to inquire about the preferences of the big guy when there is something to do, while the high-level magic is equivalent to pre-saving the "favor" in advance.
From this point of view, Ivas finally understood why the church was a humane society.
- Because the founder of the Church, the first Pope Candle Tiansi, developed the divine art, which is essentially the "divine art of human feelings"!
The knowledge of the next nine books of the Higher Divine Technique alone is a "secret knowledge" that is impossible for ordinary bishops to grasp and passed down from generation to generation.
Even in the prayer textbooks taught to bishops by the Church, it is impossible to explain in detail the likes and dislikes of these bigwigs. It's like a small book, full of contact information, addresses, weaknesses, handles, preferences, past, personal relationships......
If these things are spread too widely, it is really possible to provoke the existence of these dream realms.
On the other hand, if they read through these books, they would have done more with less if they had even gone back to some ordinary prayers and blessings, because they had already received more critical information.
In this world, knowledge is power. When it comes to the intelligence of the pillar god level, this is naturally even more so.
Therefore, even if Ivus mastered the high-level divine art through the system, he still had to read the following books after he returned. This is really valuable knowledge, and it is no wonder that the elves sealed them in such a tight box, and they had to read the first two books to show them. It's just that I'm afraid that this knowledge will be lost.
And as the experience gradually drained, Ivus also felt the power surging in his body.
Under the pure white gaze, Ivus's pupils became blank again.
It was at this time that Aihuas's pupils turned completely vermilion.
It was a sacred flame like the sun.
Immediately after, a golden vein appeared in the center of the vermilion—it condensed into a flame-like demonic vertical pupil. Immediately after that, the invisible energy spread out in all directions with Aihuas as the center.
Ivas felt the warmth, followed by the scorching heat.
It's like walking out of a cold room into the sun in thick clothes. In an instant, he was sweating profusely.
Under the intense vertigo, the world in front of Ivus gradually blurred.
He felt his liquid soul twisted by some kind of force—like blowing glass, bubbles gurgling from inside.
"It's actually the Dissolving Soul ......"
Just then, Ivas suddenly heard a voice behind him.
He suddenly turned around and found himself in a pure white space.
In a trance, the pure white space gradually colored...... It's like the texture doesn't refresh in the game, and the world gradually has an outline.
It was in the mountains on a spring day. Clear streams, turquoise leaves, bright sunshine, and the crisp chirping of birds under the blue sky.
“…… Reincarnation Celestial? ”
The voice of confusion sounded again.
Ivus turned back again and noticed that a man had appeared beside him at some point.
He had an unusually handsome and soft countenance, with long light blonde hair hanging down to his waist and no ornaments on his head or face. He wore a monochrome white robe...... But only the upper half of his body is human.
From the waist down, he is the body of a majestic white deer. And above his head, there are a pair of huge white antlers that resemble a candle.
The antlers were unusually clean, with a bone china-like color and golden veins. They were so white that they seemed to glow—at the end of each branch, a silvery-white flame burned with the light of the other antlers, making it appear that his entire great antlers were glowing.
The half-human, half-deer man was looking down at Ivus.
It was only then that Ivus realized that he was not human...... It's not even the fox it used to be, but a young fawn without horns.
He was a little panicked and jerky stepping on his hooves, not knowing his appearance.
Seeing this, the man laughed heartily.
"Looks like I made a mistake."
He rubbed Ivus's head and said softly, "If you can't find a god to contract with, come to me."
"Remember my name, young priest, I am the Candle Celestial Division...... The first pope.
"My real name is ...... Ann Eternity. ”
The next moment, the illusion dissipated.
Only then did Ivus realize that he had fallen to the ground at some point. And pure white is holding himself next to him. She shone with brilliance all over her body, constantly using illumination on Ehuath.
And Ivus's body burned hot like a mining graphics card - even the naked eye could see that his skin had turned red, and there were rounds of purple-red, noose-like dents.
Those traces continued to emerge and disappear under the healing of illumination. Eivus's body looked like a watermelon that had been dug up haphazardly, with one overlapping pit after another.
Eventually, it ended up in exactly the same position as Cardinal Matilda's—in the middle of Eivus's chest.
Traces of that noose surfaced and deepened, and it finally broke and bled out.
The wound healed again, and a black brand emerged—
It was a ring that the snake had turned into by biting its tail.
It looks like the black sun at the time of a solar eclipse.
“…… Congratulations. You are the first race other than the elves to learn high divine arts in nearly four hundred years; It is also the first short-lived race in the world to master the high divine arts. ”
Witnessing the miracle he had been waiting for for a long time, Chunbai said with an unusually complicated mood: "I should call you in advance...... Cardinal Moriarty? Or do you think Cardinal Ivus sounds better? ”
“…… Don't you have to master the high magic completely? ”
Ivus whispered.
As soon as he spoke, he even startled himself—like Yulia with a high fever, dumb and weak.
At that moment, he suddenly understood Yulia's feelings.
At this moment, his soul was completely open...... Although there was nothing inside, it was a "HOS flat".
A "House of Flesh" that can accommodate an illusion!
"Who are you going to sign a contract with?"
Pure white brows furrowed slightly: "Don't you think about it anymore?" Let me stress it again...... Every time a descent ceremony is held, it is equivalent to digging a hole for one's soul. If you dig a hole continuously, it may cause soul damage, and it is best to reforge your soul through a promotion ceremony in the middle before you can cool down for the second round of rituals.
"In other words, you may only be able to sign with one being before your next promotion ceremony - have you figured out who it is?"
“…… I've basically thought about it. ”
Ivas replied.
Because of the shepherd's tantra, he must strike a balance between transcendence and devotion. Therefore, he can't choose either path unless he can sign with both at the same time.
In addition, he has no friendship with Heng Me, Sand Timepiece, Wei Zhe, and Amber. I'm not sure that the other party will directly follow my resume...... It would be a waste of time to wait for your resume to be returned and resubmitted. As for the Celestial Division and the Apostles other than the Pillar God, Aihuas didn't even think about it.
Therefore, the first signing target selected by Aihuas is actually not much.
That is, the Lord of the Crown, the Twin Mirror and the Lord of the Scales, choose one of the three.
So......
"—I'll choose the Lord of the Feathers."
Without hesitation, Ivas gave the name that first came to mind.
For some reason, he always felt that the other party was unusually kind.
