“…… Lord of the Scales? ”

Pure White was obviously surprised by this answer.

She had no idea of the name at all.

In her opinion, it was only natural for Ivus to choose the Silver Crowned Dragon, after all, he was the future Prince of Avalon; It would be normal for him to choose Si Candle, after all, he was a dedicating path divine choice whose speed of mastering divine art was a miracle; Even choosing the twin mirrors was normal, after all, as a saint, she could also see the blessings bestowed by the twin mirrors on Ivus's body.

But the Lord of the Feathers—she had no idea where his connection to Ivus would be.

However, now that Iwass has been decided, she will not try to revise Aiwas's opinion on her own.

Although the biggest threshold for high divine art is to master this skill, it is also a craft to make a hole in the soul and leave room for your will to hide.

The former is like getting a piece of high-quality jade, while the latter is like unraveling this piece of jade and carving it into different ornaments. The former is or isn't there, while the latter depends on one's level – and for different materials and sizes of jade, even the top masters will have an upper limit.

Take pure white itself, for example...... If she had signed a contract with any other celestial priest or apostle along the way, then with her qualifications, it would have been impossible for her to complete the achievement of connecting the Nine Pillars of God. There are also cardinals who use up their potential after completing two or three or four contracts, so each choice is important, not just in order.

This is something that only you can decide – only you can take responsibility.

So Chun Bai just mentioned the risk of high magic to Ivas again. After Aihuas reconfirmed, he began to teach Aihuas the ceremony of signing a contract with the Lord of Scales.

After explaining the general process, Pure White simply took Ivus to the ninth layer.

She led Ewass to another cardinal from a room deep in the Ninth Ring—

When they found him, they were sitting in the complex ritual array.

Ai Huas had never seen such a complex ritual circle—the glittering ritual circle was like a starry sky, spreading throughout the twenty-odd square room. Floors, walls, ceilings...... In addition to the painted parts, there are also metal and jade embedded in the walls.

The ritual array hummed and drummed, and the power of the nine-colored path visible to the naked eye turned into iridescent broken light, filling the space.

And when Ivas saw the other party, he was startled.

Because the other party doesn't look like a living person-

It was an elven old man.

From the old and withered face, you can still clearly see the handsomeness of his youth. The amber pupils were sparkling, as if a flame was burning at the base of the pupils.

He has two long hairs hanging down his sideburns and a long goatee on his chin. He sat cross-legged in the center of the ritual array, his hands crossed in front of him, and his fingers hung down naturally, looking as if he was meditating.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a silver cardinal's robes, Ivas would have felt that his temperament was very much like that of an old Taoist.

But contrary to this feeling of brightness and vitality.

The old elf stretched out two intersecting hands, one completely withered, blackened, and very distinctly lignified; The other is a beautiful gemstone that changes from crimson to amber.

- Arboriation and condensation.

The two terminal illnesses of the elves appeared in one person at the same time.

"This is Cardinal Cyril."

Pure White introduced Ivus: "The cardinal in charge of the Ninth Ring.

"Actually, in general...... If you wait for the other bishops to arrive before learning the higher arts, you will also come to the Ninth Ring to receive the teachings of Cardinal Cyril. ”

"I know."

Ivas nodded, "Cardinal Matilda told me. Although we stayed in the Fifth Ring, the place of study was in the Ninth Ring. ”

"It's good that you know, Ivus."

Chun Bai nodded with satisfaction: "Cardinal Cyril is one of the very few elves who have mastered ritual arts, and it would be safer for you to preside over your first ritual with him." ”

Hearing the name "Aihuas", the old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "It's been a long time. Or should I say, first meeting? ”

Ivus was stunned for a moment.

These words inexplicably reminded Ivus of the Lord of Scales.

When the other party saw himself in a dream, he said this. Almost not a word for it.

…… Could it be that he is the embodiment of the Lord of the Feathers?

Seeing Ivus stunned. The corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly, revealing a pleasant smile.

He laughed heartily and said, "Or should I say, I have admired the daimyo for a long time...... Mr. [Fox]."

"—I'm living silver. We've seen it before...... I knew then that you were a genius and would definitely come to teach the country. But I didn't expect you to master the high-level divine art so quickly. You can only come to the country for two or three months at most. ”

“…… Mr. Living Silver! ”

When Ivus heard this name, he immediately remembered it, and his uneasy heart was relaxed.

He saluted politely, "Long time no see, Mr. Living Silver." ”

This is the person I met from her when I first saw pure white in a dream.

The jacaranda is supposed to be Cardinal Matilda, while the living silver is Cardinal Cyril. That is, that Topa has not yet been seen from reality.

But...... Even the latter sentence was exactly the same as what the Lord of Scales said when he greeted him at that time.

…… Is it a prophecy?

Ivas thought of what he had seen and heard after the promotion ceremony.

Although nowadays, the memories in the dream have become much more blurred. He couldn't even remember the Lord of the Scales...... But those few words, as well as the touch of the handshake, remained very clearly in Ivus's heart.

He will choose the Lord of the Scales, not just because the other party is "the god of the speed of light, the god of generosity".

One of the big reasons for this is that Ivas feels a kind of respect and importance from the other party.

This is also the reason why Ivus subconsciously refers to the Lord of the Scales as "The Boss...... He has the same sense of déjà vu as a worker when he sees his boss.

Although strictly speaking, this relationship is still not equal from a social point of view...... But at a high level, it's at least like two humans talking.

Whether it's the Candle, the Silver Crowned Dragon, or the Twin Mirror, their attitude towards Ivus is very friendly. But that feeling is all on the top, undoubtedly the personality gap between humans and gods—that is compassion, curiosity, pity. Of course, because the other party is indeed an immortal god, Ivus has never felt anything wrong.

However, the Lord of the Feathers is an outlier.

Perhaps it was because of his "adaptation" that he was particularly good at seeing people and talking about people...... But he was at least willing to adapt to "human" for Aihuas!

When talking to the Lord of the Feathers, Ivas felt like he was talking to someone...... Just like when he saw the Celestial Rakshasa and the Candle Celestial Division, he was much more relaxed in conversation. There is no element of a riddler, and the conversation is clear and efficient.

And the last sentence.

"I hope we have a good time working together in the future."

Cooperate.

Ivas liked the word.

In his previous life, he took the initiative to leave because he didn't like the high-minded attitude of his previous boss. It's like the guy is using Ivas as a tool to dispose of people he doesn't need; And when talents are needed, let Ivas find a way. In the end, it was he who blew it, and it was himself who took the blame...... In the end, it's two sides that are not human.

It's not so much a tool as a dog. Usually throw some bones to domesticate, let them out to bite when it's time to bite, and pull them out for a walk when you're in a good mood...... Despite the good pay and the fact that Ivas could be seen to be at the top before the age of thirty-five, he gave up the job.

He later applied for the job of writing a screenwriter at Lookless God Studios, also because he had a good conversation with the well-known game producer, the owner of Lookless God Studios. Under the introduction of his roommate, the boss read his resume and added his contact information himself, and chatted with Ivus all afternoon.

Although in the end, based on the issue of salary and work experience, he still persuaded Aihuasi to come to his side as an HR.

But that feeling was completely different from the previous boss – even if it was just a performance, but Ivas did feel genuine and respectful. Even though he didn't end up in the screenwriting department at all, when he suggested the plot and mechanics of the game with his boss, the other party gave feedback very seriously, and the conversation lasted for eight hours...... And it's very serious and enthusiastic, and at the same time has a sense of proportion.

It was a very strong, optimistic and cheerful contagion. It seems that just chatting with the other party can dispel the depression in my heart; It seems that you can become friends with anyone, and you can become a strong cohesive and absolute leadership center of the environment.

At the time, Ivas even had the illusion that "my boss and I might be friends" – and of course, he knew it was a delusion. After all, he hadn't even seen the other party's face.

This may be charisma, or leadership.

The boss was like the Lord of the Feathers, and he gave Ivas enough respect.

…… It is precisely because of the happy conversation that Ivas was hit by a mud truck and died when he was crossing the street because he looked down at the news and came to this world.

- Even if it's just the kind of acting that comes from "adapting to the path", but at least the other party is willing to perform seriously in person, and Iwass is willing to choose the other party.

Perhaps the Lord of the Scales understood the essence of Evas, which is why he said these words at that time.

The first three sentences are the words of greeting the other party when meeting with Huoyin.

"When applying, if both parties agree to ...... What should be said? Congratulations? ”

"—then congratulations. I hope we have a happy cooperation in the future. ”

The next two sentences are about the fact that Ivas will eventually learn the "Higher Divine Arts" and will be the first to choose Him.

Because only the ritual of high magic can be called "application".

And the attitude of the Lord of the Scales was clear—he had already agreed in advance.

When He said, "Happy cooperation in the future," he was referring to the fact that Evas had made a pact with Him using high divine magic.

- All these things happened in the foreknowledge of the Lord of the Scales.

He generously placed his foreknowledge before Evas.

In a way that didn't dampen Ivus's pride or make him feel dangerous, he laughed and showed off his power.

From the past, answer the question from the future.
