Chapter 182: Aiwass's Persuasion
David was obviously quite curious about Aiwas.
Yesterday, Aiwas had just run out, and George said he wanted to rest and didn't let David disturb Aiwas... So David quietly endured it until the next morning.
After completing today's morning exercise task and having breakfast, he ran to find Aiwas as soon as possible.
Aiwas sat in his wheelchair, looking at the winter courtyard outside the house from the window. The dead leaves on the ground were cleaned up by the servants, and the big white griffin was running and flying with his daughter repeatedly.
Emily obviously hasn't mastered the instinctive skill of the griffin to control the atmosphere like plucking the strings. When she sprints and flies, she will bring up a visible storm and make a huge "bang bang" noise, messing up her hair.
And the other big griffin next to it is faster-it can disappear in an instant and then reappear. But not only is there no mess on its body, but it is also very quiet throughout the whole process, without stirring up a storm, and even the small branches beside it did not shake.
"That's the instinctive skill of the griffin," David said, seeing that Aiwass seemed very curious about this, "Dad said that if humans can get more than level 3 [Storm Affinity], they may be able to do this."
"What about you?"
Aiwass turned around and smiled softly: "Is your path characteristic also storm affinity?"
"No, I have lightning affinity."
David shook his head and said honestly: "Dad said that if I were a warrior or a swordsman, I could do whatever I wanted. Because the advancement ceremony will only give us enough path characteristics that fit, and if we follow our heart, we will not be weak. But I will be a soldier in the future, and I will go to the battlefield. And it will be the most intense and cruel part.
"Because of this, any choice that deviates from the center even a little bit may reduce my chances of survival. So Dad gave me clear promotion requirements...including which abilities can be used in the ceremony and which abilities cannot be used; which path characteristics can be selected, and which ones can be selected and which ones cannot be selected under what circumstances..."
David complained: "I memorized it for a long time, it's very complicated."
Aiwass said softly: "Your father is for your own good. "
The Great Guardian really values his son.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for the upper-level extraordinary to value their offspring so much...
After all, when the desire for the Tao overflows, "giving birth to a child" has become the most standard and simplest way to relieve it. And the ceiling of this era is too low, and it will easily reach the end.
Once you have such a concept, or even just need such knowledge, it is difficult not to regard children as a tool to protect yourself.
Because the primary purpose of the birth of a child is no longer for love, or even for tradition or inheritance. It is to relieve your own pressure.
Thinking of this, Aiwas asked: "Do you have other brothers and sisters?"
"No."
Mr. "Knight" was also very sorry about this matter: "I actually want to have a cute sister. John's sister is very cute, always following him behind, with a baby voice...ah, John is my classmate."
He explained casually.
But then he sighed again: "But my parents said that they are very busy, and it is already the limit for them to take good care of me. If you raise another child, the energy will be shared between two people, and no one will get enough love, attention and family education.
"So at least Dad doesn't plan to have another child while he is serving as the Great Guardian. But I don't really hate having a younger brother or sister... It's nice to have someone to play with me and exercise with me."
David fantasizes about the future that will arrive at an unknown time.
But he doesn't know what his parents have paid for him - George has been a Great Guardian for a long time, and now he should be stuck at the 49th level like Meg. In other words, his path pressure has been accumulating for a long time.
Having another child can effectively relieve the path pressure he has endured.
And in the case that David does not object or even expects it, there is no need to deal with internal family conflicts.
However, in order to ensure that David can enjoy complete love and attention, and receive wholehearted education and guidance, they would rather leave this excuse unused.
Of course, there is another possibility... That is, the Great Guardian's moral standards are so high that he thinks that this will make the process of childbirth too utilitarian and make the newborn meaningful before it is born.
Therefore, he would rather endure the pain and anxiety of the oppression of the road than choose to discharge this part of the strong desire.
...No matter what the reason is, it is really rare.
Especially in this era when the upper-level extraordinary people have several or even more than a dozen children per capita, this heart is even more rare.
"He is right."
Evans sighed and said in a deep voice: "When you reach the fourth energy level or even the fifth energy level in the future...you will know the sacrifice he is making now."
This is not difficult.
For David, who reached the second energy level at the age of fifteen, it is a foregone conclusion that he will enter the fourth energy level.
The world level cap will be opened in more than a year at most, and this is without any accidents. Now the development of things has produced some deviations from what Aihuas remembered, and Aihuas has a premonition that "the known future will come earlier or later."
For David, the only problem that may go wrong is the four to five.
Starting from the third level to the fourth level, failure or death may cause damage to the soul. Accumulated damage will reduce the probability of success in subsequent advancements. As for the cost of failure of four to five, at present, the worst is damage to the soul, and the highest is death on the spot.
The cost of failure for advancing from fourth to fifth and fifth to sixth will be reduced only after the level caps of all nine avenues are opened.
If Mr. "Knight" is still so naive, he may not be able to advance due to too many accumulated failures.
Even if Aleister could take him once or twice... he couldn't take him every time.
If it comes to a choice between abandoning the knight and letting himself win, or saving the knight and letting himself fail, Aiwass will definitely choose the former.
As the level increases, the intensity of the promotion ceremony will gradually increase. The influence and suppression brought by the intensity of the shadow demon will gradually decrease... Not to mention, there are also scripts in the promotion ceremony that focus on decryption or games, and not all rituals can be solved through violence.
At least the script written by Weizhe will definitely not work. He hates using violence and fighting to solve problems, so his scripts must be of a type that will level everyone's intensity. If his script is randomly chosen, Aleister, who has his own Shadow Demon, will have a negative effect - because it is easier for others to gang up and attack her.
In this case, no matter how optimistic Aiwass was about the Cavaliers, he could not afford to promote one more person. Not to mention, Lily will also accompany "Aleister" for promotion. Compared with the knight, Lily is more important to Aiwass.
Of course, if Mr. "Knight" can train him well, then "Aleister"'s promotion will always bring him two reliable teammates. In New Moon Ritual, the advantage of starting with two teammates is infinite... at least until everyone else knows about it.
So if possible, Aiwass still wants to help and educate David.
"Mr. Aiwass," David finally couldn't help himself and asked aloud, "What kind of person is Miss Aleister...?"
--coming.
Aiwass thought to himself.
I am not afraid that you will ask, but I am afraid that you will not ask.
So Aiwass pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I don't think she is a bad person. At most, she can only be regarded as having a strong desire to perform and possessiveness, and hopes that others will pay more attention to herself. Even if she takes advantage of others, I think as long as If the intention is good, the results are good, and the consequences are controllable, then the process can actually be ignored.”
What Aiwass said actually refers to himself. But at the same time, it also fits the characteristics of the assassin lady.
Now that the "Aleister" vest is basically ready, all Aiwass has to do is go back and wash and bleach his own vest. To avoid overacting and attracting the attention of investigators.
Just like a "Phantom Thief" - he can't be a truly ruthless and murderous wanted criminal, otherwise he may be greeted by a sniper; but if he is just a Phantom Thief who has caused no actual harm, then maybe the other party will play with him. .
Aiwass didn't want to trap the main body because of the trouble caused by the vest.
"So I don't think you were deceived by her. Because Aleister does have a flamboyant charm, which is the attraction of a true transcendent."
Aiwass said softly.
Hearing this, David was shocked: "How do you know..."
He quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but Aiwass said directly: "Because she told me your story - you met during the promotion ceremony not long ago, right?"
"...Ah, yes."
David replied with mixed emotions.
He was both pleased that Miss Aleister remembered him, but at the same time saddened by the apparent closer relationship between Aiwass and her. But his good education told him that he should not be jealous at this time - so these complicated emotions were entangled together, making him feel that his heart was very messy.
"I have the same opinion as her."
Aiwass said in a gentle voice: "If you want to embark on the road of transcendence, I will not stop you. There is no wrong way on the nine roads. It is your own decision to embark on any road, and you can walk your own way.
"But you should only embark on this path with sufficient understanding. Instead of being induced or confused by other people's words - a whim impulse cannot last long, and there is no regret in the choice of path and career. Once you step on the road, you can’t turn back.”
Under the morning light, Aiwass's blue pupils shone brightly.
He spoke softly while sitting in a wheelchair, making David seem to see the shadow of Aleister in him.
"Let's take a look at the common career choice of transcending the path - the curse mage, who needs to master the knowledge of curses and rituals; the demonologist needs to master the knowledge of demonology and rituals; the devil needs to be possessed by the devil, and even the will and rituals must be mastered. The body cannot be controlled. So let’s exclude the demon first... Then among the remaining two professions, do you want to summon demons or curse others? "
Aiwass asked seriously: "Do you want to have such a mysterious skill, or do you just admire Aleister and want to be like her?"
David also listened equally carefully - he actually had this problem too and had been thinking about it for a long time.
He shook his head: "I'm actually not interested in any of this... I just yearn for the courage to give up everything and challenge a powerful enemy."
[——Question 1: Do you have the courage to live toward death? 】
[——Question 2: Do you have the courage to challenge an invincible enemy? 】
Aleister's arrogant voice still echoed in David's heart.
"In that case, I have an idea."
Aiwass said simply: “Actually, there are some professions beyond the path that have been lost.
"Just as the core skill of the path of devotion is the illumination skill of burning oneself to illuminate others, the core skill of the path of authoritarianism is the skill of leadership including speaking, restraining, and ruling. The core of the path of transcendence is not actually the devil, It’s not a curse… it’s a ritual.”
"ceremony?"
David wondered: "Isn't it a devil?"
Aiwass smiled and said: "Demonologists have only been around for a long time. Are there no professionals who have transcended the path before?"
These words are actually a bit taboo - because only with a certain understanding of demonology can it be possible to know that demonologist is actually a new generation profession. But precisely because of the existence of the character Aleister, nothing Aiwass says is surprising. People will figure it out and convince themselves.
And what he said is indeed true——
Demons, curses, and contracts all come from the power of other Tiansi. The power that truly belongs to Snake Father is the "ritual".
"I actually know that there is a long-lost profession beyond the path, and it is suitable for you."
Aiwass whispered: "But for now you are unable to take office."
"What is that?" David blurted.
You boy...
Seeing David's unabashed, almost eager inquiry, Ivers immediately understood that Aleister's words might be effective, but they were probably only a small part of them.
David's desire and longing for the transcendent path, instead of being suppressed, became more intense.
So it was indeed right for me to tell David about this at this time...
"That's the [Ascension Warlock]."
Aiwass replied half-truthfully: "This is a long-lost profession. Because it requires candidates to have a strong enough body, it can only be used as a second way to change professions."
