Chapter 452 Temporary Teammate Iben

On February 15, Aiwas and Isabel both asked for leave.

There were many students who asked for leave on this day.

Because the school will start after the New Year, it will be the second semester of the Royal Law University.

This semester is very short and the learning tasks are very heavy, only less than three months. Starting from mid-April, the Royal Law University will have a two-week spring break-after the school starts on May 1, it will be the third semester dedicated to internships, experiments, certifications, and exams.

The third semester starts from May 1st and lasts until mid-to-late July, and then the summer vacation will be held on September 1st.

By the third semester, students with extraordinary professional levels will have the privilege of internships, and certifications also require extraordinary professional levels-the first level can definitely find a job, but don't think too much about the salary. Except for a few professions such as priests and botanists, other professions can basically do nothing at the first level.

The Overseer can produce some lightning when punching, the Mage can use a few spells that are definitely not as powerful as the pistol, the Alchemist can't do anything, and the Bard can probably add some weak positive or negative effects when singing, which can only be effective against the first energy level or ordinary people at most. Most extraordinary people at the first energy level cannot beat multiple ordinary people who are strong and armed.

On the contrary, the priest can heal a little even if he is only at the first energy level. Therefore, the graduation requirements of the seminary are much more relaxed, and even the mastery of blessing is not required.

At least you have to reach the second energy level to be considered a serious extraordinary person. At this level, unless you are ambushed or sniped, ordinary people, even if there are a lot of them, will find it difficult to hurt extraordinary people who are good at fighting.

The official Overseers of the Overseer Bureau and the priests of the church are basically at this level.

For those students who are about to graduate but are still stuck at LV9, the second semester is their last chance to advance to the second energy level. Considering only the full moon ceremony, there are only three chances of promotion at most - and there is a one-third chance of elimination for each promotion.

Aiwass is a freshman, and few of his classmates ask for leave.

Isabel is one year higher than Aiwass, and seven or eight students in her class have already asked for leave.

Even though she has become the queen of Avalon, Isabel still comes to the university on time for classes - this was almost impossible before.

For safety reasons, every king and queen of Avalon rarely leaves the Silver and Tin Palace after ascending the throne.

If they need to study, they usually invite professors to go directly to the palace for private lessons.

Isabel's heartfelt and natural approach to the people undoubtedly makes her a special case.

Her classmates and teachers were worried, nervous and afraid at first, but soon adapted to the young queen who has become much more cheerful now.

They regard this special situation as the difference between the "path of beauty" and the "path of authority". After all, before Isabel, all the monarchs of Avalon were "knight kings" of the path of authority. Only she is the "King of Art" in the path of beauty.

The result is that the friends that Isabel once sought but could not get, when her heart was complete and she was no longer so eager, appeared in an endless stream...

Now Aiwass is stationed in the Temple of Silver and Tin, and his status is different from before. Naturally, he does not need to prepare the promotion ceremony himself - Osborne and Iben, two old ritualists, prepare the promotion ceremony for Isabel and Aiwass respectively.

Isabel went to the safer ritual room underground, while Aiwass prepared the ceremony directly in his bedroom.

"Thank you, teacher."

Aiwass thanked Iben sincerely.

Iben just smiled slightly and reached out to touch his white goatee.

Compared with a few months ago, Iben's curly hair has become thinner, and his oily green pupils have become more turbid and dim, and have gradually changed to the direction of black jade. Like ink spreading in a green pond.

He is obviously not in a good mental state and is not in a very good mood.

"Have you prepared the Dream-Intoxicating Tincture? You still need it to advance to the fourth energy level, otherwise you will be easily awakened by the severe pain... That's too dangerous and a pity."

Iben asked with concern, and took out a small round box the size of a cooling oil wrapped tightly in oil paper from his arms: "If you don't have it, just use mine. Don't worry, I haven't used this box yet. It's complete."

For ordinary people, Dream-Intoxicating Tincture only needs to be licked to be effective. For this reason, some low-level extraordinary people who have no money will also buy some second-hand Dream-Intoxicating Tincture that has been licked by others to stabilize their dreams.

But for the extraordinary people in the promotion ceremony, a whole box must be used at a time.

Aivas was stunned for a moment and took the box of Dream-Intoxicating Tincture. It was indeed a yellow crescent pattern with a human face, and there was also a production date marked "1898-06-024" below.

The batch was half a year ago, and it was still very new.

Aiwass looked at his ritual teacher Iben in surprise: "Teacher, when did you buy this?"

"Just a few months ago, after I met you," Iben sighed, "I originally wanted to use it myself."

"... Originally?"

"Then I thought about it, I'm already this age... Let's forget it. I probably won't be promoted."

Iben smiled nonchalantly: "There's no point in wasting things, it's better to give it to you."

Aiwass stared into Iben's eyes.

From the eyes of this old man from a foreign country, Aiwass saw a faint flame dancing. The flame was very light, as if it were an illusion... Just like looking at the sun and then looking away, the sunlight left lingering traces on the bottom of the pupils.

——That is the fire of anger that is well hidden.

He suddenly understood why after getting to know himself.

To be precise, it must have been after he said the name of the demonologist who controlled the Iron Hook Demon and killed his parents... Iben couldn't bear the anger and hatred in his heart, so he bought a dose of Drunken Dream Tincture.

He was still too weak after all.

After his life settled down, he lost his desire to transcend. From now on, there is no way to be promoted again.

Iben is a conjurer, not a "great wizard". This shows that he is only at the third energy level.

Entering the third level into the fourth level is the first advancement, and at the fourth level there will be a qualitative change in extraordinary abilities.

If Iben returns to the ancient kingdom of Parthia at the third energy level, he will most likely be unable to do anything. You have to at least become a great wizard to do anything.

Understanding what Iben was thinking, Aiwass pushed back the portion of Drunken Dream Tincture without hesitation.

"——I still have one, teacher. Lord Hermes once gave it to me as a gift."

Aiwass showed the Drunken Dream Tincture on his chest: "With my current status, I will not be short of this kind of thing...not to mention, the Moriarty family is not short of money."

He looked at Ibn and whispered a name: "Aziz bin Abdul... You must have not forgotten this person's name.

"I feel that if you have a grudge, it would be more satisfying to avenge it yourself. You don't have to entrust me with anything before you die."

Aiwass directly predicted Iben's operation.

"...Can you let me, an old man, cross the desert?"

Iben was also a little helpless and said honestly: "I actually thought about it too. After I learned the news about that guy from you, I thought about it for a long time. But in the end, I still felt that I might not be able to cross the desert. "

"That's in the past, teacher."

Aiwass shook his head: "If you really want to go back to the ancient country of Anxi, I can ask the goblins to send you there.

"The goblins have always been in contact with the 'good masters'. The goblins buy slaves such as humans, elves, half-elves and lizardmen from the good masters, as well as a large amount of gold and treasures, and the good masters also buy them from the goblins on a regular basis. There are a lot of trolls buying there. They must have regular, unknown trading channels.

"The only question is whether you have the confidence to advance at an old age."

Aiwass looked at Iben, with purple flames vaguely dancing in his eyes, but his tone was not sonorous and powerful, but seemed gentle: "I will not stop you, no matter how dangerous this promotion is for you. Beyond yourself Lifespan and aging, this is also a kind of transcendence... But I can assure you that no matter whether you choose to advance this time, or whether you succeed after the advancement, I can ask someone to send you back to the ancient kingdom of Anxi.

"I will also tell Your Majesty that she will let you go."

Hearing this, Iben looked at Aiwass for a long time, his eyes changing from muddy to sharp, and then from sharp to soft.

The old man sighed helplessly.

"...You have already talked about this. If I chicken out, how can I still be your teacher? I'll lose face."

The corners of Iben's mouth raised slightly, and he took the Drunken Dream Tincture back into his arms with his trembling, skinny hands.

Although he was speaking with words of complaint, his cloudy and dim eyes once again lit up with a purple glimmer.

He patted the Drunken Dream Tincture on his chest and actively invited him: "Would you like to join us tonight, Aiwass? I'll go back and hold another ceremony in my own bedroom."

"If you follow us, the difficulty may increase."

Aiwass warned.

"I know what you are thinking, but don't be afraid. I am your teacher."

Iben replied nonchalantly: "As long as the rejection of the path is not completely repeated, the Absence Ceremony will not be triggered. Your Majesty and Sherlock do not have to cooperate with me... The two of us rejected each other. If the journey is completely different, you can ensure that you will not be missing this time.

"——Don't worry, Aiwass. It doesn't matter if I act alone... Trust the self-preservation ability of a seventy-year-old ritualist."

"...Alright."

Aiwass sighed, a little relieved - at least the teacher cheered up. Just help yourself and keep an eye on it.

If Iben was a transcendent from other paths, Aiwass would never let him touch such dangerous things.

But things are different today.

——Teacher Iben is a transcendent after all.

If a transcendent loses the courage to transcend and dies of mediocrity in a hospital bed, what kind of painful self-torture it will be... Although Aiwass has not experienced it, he can guess a thing or two. Therefore, when Iben raised this dangerous idea of ​​"revenge", Aiwass did not stop him, but instead offered to help.

For others, there may be some controversy - but for the transcendent, spiritual decay is more painful than physical torture. That was a denial of my entire life so far.

So Aiwass asked Lily to take out a bottle of the best red wine from the room, opened it and poured himself a glass.

"I'll leave this bottle to you. Remember which path I chose."

Aiwass smiled and poured all his drunken dream tincture into the wine.

As a tincture, this is the correct way to consume it.

While waiting for it to dissolve, Aiwass picked up the lit vanilla stick and chanted the incantation of the full moon ceremony.

"The six protect me!"

He said loudly, touching the six ritual crystals in sequence with the vanilla stick.

"Sand Timepiece, Si Zhu, Weizhe, Silver Crowned Dragon, Twin Mirrors, Snake Father...

"——I follow the way of Si Zhu."

Aiwass declared solemnly.

The update is complete!
