Chapter 15 Extraordinary Ring: Noble Red

After both parties tacitly demonstrated their abilities, goals and intentions, Aiwass and Shadow Fiend reached a temporary agreement.

As Shadow Fiend dived back into Aiwass's shadow again, the shadow that spread like mud in the entire bar was sucked back into the shadow under Aiwass.

Like a swimming pool with the drain opened, the shallow shadow lake soon became "dry".

The warm winter sun shone in again, filling the room of the bar.

It seemed that being covered by the wet shadow just now was just an illusion.

—— Very good.

Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the four most important things have been done.

Completed revenge for Aiwass and killed the "friend" who betrayed him; successfully eliminated his own evidence; obtained the next step of investigation clues; awakened and appeased Shadow Fiend.

Now, it's time to open the treasure chest happily!

Aiwass listened carefully and found that Haina was still looking downstairs and didn't go upstairs.

—— It's time to lick the bag!

He rubbed his hands impatiently and began to search for his spoils.

Aiwass soon found a thumb-sized round box that looked like a cooling oil. On it was etched a crescent moon with a human face, and below it was a line of small words "1886-03-071, Huoyin Workshop".

He was very familiar with this thing.

This was a dose of Dream Drunken Tincture. A specialty of the Star Antimony Kingdom.

"Good stuff. A good start."

Aiwass's mouth curled up slightly, and he put it in his pocket.

Dream Drunken Tincture is a potion that can make dreams stable and anesthetize the body so that it is not easy to wake up. It is an alchemical product of the balanced path. It can also be used as an anesthetic for surgery, but its main use is to use it as an auxiliary drug to increase the success rate when advancing.

In the fairy tale novel, it is roughly equivalent to something like the foundation-building pill. At a low level, the success rate of the breakthrough is quite considerable.

Dream Drunken Tincture is known as the "small promotion medicine" among players, which can increase the success rate of the promotion ceremony. It's probably similar to the potion that can enhance and build equipment in classic MMORPGs and increase the success rate of enhancement.

In the setting, to upgrade the professional level, you need to enter a dream and perform a complex dream ritual with a very high failure rate. But in the game, it is determined by a cold promotion success percentage. Preparing some special rituals or materials can increase the success rate.

If successful, it means that the promotion is successful after a special effect, and the upper limit of the professional level is increased by ten levels. Then three entries will pop up for you to choose one.

This is the path characteristic obtained when the promotion is successful this time.

If it fails, it will be relegated to level 19. Players have no materials and can prepare the ritual again to advance; for NPCs, if the promotion fails, they have to wait for a cooldown that gets longer and longer as the level increases, at least half a month.

Veronica is now a level 19 demonologist and is about to advance; or she may have failed several times, so she prepared a dream intoxicant for herself.

Judging from the number of ritual spells she has mastered, she should have stayed at the second level for quite a while. When the level cap is locked, the skill level can still be upgraded as usual, but the profession will not be upgraded.

It is not difficult for Aiwas to upgrade from the first level to the second level at present, and he will basically succeed. He does not need it for the time being.

He can use it when he advances from level 19 to level 20.

And because Aiwas is advancing on two paths, he has to take two doses.

The dream-intoxicating tincture itself is not a particularly rare potion, so there is no need to cherish it. Its price in Star Antimony is not high, only forty-six White Crown coins. It is just that it is purely handmade by alchemists, so the supply is insufficient, so it needs to be reserved and limited.

And the most important thing is that this medicine will be difficult to buy in Avalon for the time being.

Because two years ago, the Kingdom of Star Antimony became an enemy of Avalon.

All alchemical products of the Star Antimony Kingdom are restricted from export to Avalon; correspondingly, Avalon does not allow the import of alchemical products from the Star Antimony Kingdom, and also does not allow the export of its own minerals and wood to Star Antimony.

At present, except for a few remaining, the only ones on the market in Avalon are the scalpers who start ordering at ten times the price.

Five hundred white coins are just the starting price.

This is a price that Haina dare not even think about. It is about ten years of wages for ordinary workers.

It's not that Aiwas can't afford it.

He just doesn't want the scalpers to make so much money so easily.

He doesn't plan to leave this thing to the Supervisory Bureau - even if the Supervisory Bureau gets it, it will only resell it at a high price. It is even likely to be sold to the Moriarty family.

Because everyone knows that Master Aiwas has recently embarked on the extraordinary path and became a priest. He also needs to stock up on the Dream Drunken Tincture in advance.

- Then there is no need to let the middlemen make a profit.

But unfortunately, after finding the Dream Drunken Tincture, Aiwas couldn't even find the good stuff.

He only found some ritual materials.

But they were human materials, such as placentas or baby scalps. Not only were they worthless, but he had no use for them.

Aiwass had sworn not to use materials from his own race for rituals—and he really didn't like such cruelty. So he didn't take them away. Instead, he left them on Veronica as evidence of her guilt.

The red robe she was wearing was actually valuable.

...But Aiwass felt that he couldn't take it off.

Not to mention that it was women's clothing, Aiwass couldn't wear it; and Veronica didn't wear anything inside, so it was a bit perverted to take off the clothes directly...

Of course, it was useless for him to get the red robe.

In the game, players have no identity, so they can enter the association through the red robe. But now he is Aiwas Moriarty, and he can't pass the review of the Noble Red Association.

If he really succeeds in joining, he will be threatened by the association in turn. Because once the matter is exposed, Aiwass can't survive in the Kingdom of Avalon. Even his adoptive father, eldest brother and Yulia will be harmed by it.

"...Huh?"

Aiwass suddenly turned out a brass ring that was shining with golden light.

It was engraved with a scarred fist, it was clenched tightly, and blood was dripping from the fingers. The glittering "blood" was actually ground ruby ​​powder. In the sun, it seemed to reflect a dark red viscous luster like real blood.

The next moment, a light curtain popped up:

[Noble Red]

[Extraordinary Accessory (Light Purple)]

[Jewelry-Ring]

[Features: Weak Law Resistance (Limited to Transcendent Path Trigger)]

[Spell: Severe Cough (Once a Day, 1/1)]

[Necessary: ​​Dark 2]

[Gesture, Medium Distance, Effective Immediately]

["——We are all Wounded Fists, Bloody Hands, Scaleless Blades."]

Great, it's out!

Aiwass's eyes lit up.

This is the best stuff that Da Zi can get!

Weak Law Resistance can invalidate the interference and control effects of the first-level Law Spells, Law Tactics-Shout, and other authoritarian paths, and weaken the control effects below the third level by one level.

The authoritarian path is the most common path ability of Avalon. If Aiwas wears it, the control skills released by the extraordinary people within level 10 will not be able to stop him; the control skills within level 30 will also be reduced by about 10 levels. The only disadvantage is that this thing is too conspicuous. If you wear it normally, it is easy to be mistaken for the noble Red Society by people who know the goods.

But its effect is really good, and it is extremely practical in the early stage... and Aiwas is beyond the path, which can trigger the passive effect. It is suitable to carry it in your pocket and wear it when you need it.

The spell "Severe Choking" attached to the ring, although it sounds a bit stupid, is actually a very practical spell.

Just using the ring as a medium to cast the spell, and requiring two points of dark attribute mana to release it, you can see that it is not a very low-end thing.

"Choking" is a first-level spell of the transcendental path, and the effect is to put a person into a choking state. If Aiwas now gets the corresponding mystic book, he can learn this spell.

"Severe Choking" is an upgraded version of its second energy level. Its effect is to put a person into a strong choking state immediately. From the text description, it is equivalent to pouring irritating liquids such as red oil or sea water into the nose, and it will probably take several seconds of uncontrolled coughing to recover.

If a person keeps coughing violently, then it is actually difficult for him to exert force.

Because he cannot breathe normally, his strength will be weakened. The effect in the game is "damage -10%, hit rate decreased by 10%, attack and movement speed decreased by 10%, lasting for three seconds", but Aiwass thinks that this value must be conservative.

If it is really in reality, it is very likely that this move will reveal a fatal flaw directly.

Similarly, people who are in a state of severe choking cannot speak, let alone yell.

Even for a period of time after the effect ends, it may not be possible to speak clearly. The mucous membrane has been injured, and it is easy to continue coughing accidentally.

And the law-speaking abilities of the authoritarian path need to be shouted out loudly.

From this perspective, this equipment is specifically used to target the ability of the Supervisory Bureau. Once discovered, it can be used to block the enemy and escape immediately.

Aiwas couldn't help but feel lucky.

-- Fortunately, he had exposed a flaw and seduced Veronica to choose Haina as a breakthrough point.

She must have felt that her shot was too weak and could not penetrate her defense. It would be better to pretend to be dead immediately after taking a shot, and take advantage of the moment when Haina relaxed her vigilance to throw a spell to kill her first.

So she didn't want to show too strong a threat - because she needed Haina to underestimate the enemy.

This kind of academic school is very easy to reveal flaws in mentality.

But Veronica knew this... Aiwas certainly knew it too.

He knew that Veronica must look down on Haina, so he deliberately laid a hand and pretended to shoot her, so that Veronica could have a chance to successfully carry out her plan. When Veronica saw that her plan was gradually approaching success, she had already relaxed her vigilance.

Fortunately, she dug a pit and chose a righteous trap sneak attack!

Otherwise, if they really started fighting, even if Veronica's continuous channeling spells didn't hit, she could still use the "violent coughing spell" to weaken Haina.

Moreover, this ring itself is the identity certificate of the "Noble Red" association. And only formal members can get it, and peripheral members like the evil bartender can't get it.

Although it is just an equipment in the game...

But Aiwas thought.

In reality, it may have other uses.

Just like Aiwas dare not wear it on weekdays, fearing that people will misunderstand his identity - the reverse use may also be true.

I haven't adjusted it yet, and I thought about writing less, but these two chapters are more than 6,000 words...
