Chapter 97: Greedy Aiwass

In this era, the existing equipment has basically been monopolized.

If you want to get this kind of equipment with higher priority steadily, you have to go digging. In the game, it is a card-drawing treasure hunt.

This is the "special channel" mentioned earlier.

From "Mrs. Mina's Fortune Telling Shop", you can get random "clues" through daily fortune telling. And these clues have levels, which is a classic treasure map mode.

In the game, you can use it to dig out a BOSS after arriving at the place. After defeating it, the whole team will get an equipment, which is bound and cannot be traded.

This BOSS is very difficult to beat, and usually you have to call a thug in the world channel. And even if you can't draw it, you can pay those players who draw high-level clues to form a team to eat the drops.

Purple clues mean that everyone drops at least one light purple equipment, and purple to dark purple are likely to produce this priority equipment. Purple is generally the core of the suit, and dark purple is a powerful piece of equipment.

And "at least" means that it is likely that the ones dug out are all light purple.

These equipment come from the families with top powerhouses in ancient times. Most of them come from the blessings of the gods, apostles or gods. In ancient times, because there was no "professional" system that was easy to inherit, the inheritance of extraordinary abilities was easily cut off. After the collapse of the ancient kingdom, these equipment may have been buried together.

Aiwass had been very eager to follow his mentor to go archaeological excavation just to dig up such things.

I hope that there will be such clues or similar things in the "Mrs. Mina's Fortune Telling Shop" in this world...

Tomorrow is Saturday - when the weekend comes, Aiwas will have time to go to the "mall".

This [Stalker in the Shadow] is also a rare equipment that has been passed down since ancient times. The reason why Aiwass knows that it is an ancient equipment is that it can also be dug out, that is, players have the opportunity to own it. And those obtained in modern times cannot be dug out.

For example, two of the equipment of the Grand Arbitrator, as well as the Queen's Scepter and Crown, came from the blessing of the Silver Crown Dragon.

The status of that assassin lady may be higher than Aiwas imagined. [Stalker in the Shadow] is usually granted by the leader of Hawkeye to the assassin master who has reached the fifth level.

Although it may not be good to say this, this assassin lady is obviously not worthy of it. She did reach level 39 at a very young age, but this does not mean that she will definitely succeed in advancing. If she fails three or four times in a row, it is basically impossible to successfully advance. The older, more experienced, and more proficient in mysterious skills, the greater the probability of advancement.

So either the leader of Hawkeye is particularly optimistic about her talent, or she is very favored.

But she should not have a blood relationship with the leader... Aiwass knows his daughter. His daughter is in her thirties, and his grandson is only a few years old now, so they don’t match. And in that case, the Hawkeye organization should not let the assassin lady perform dangerous tasks.

However, this childishness is a bit big, and she doesn’t know how to endure at all. It is obviously the type of being spoiled, not like the cold-blooded assassin who has undergone cruel training. More like a proud young lady.

In this situation where she is not very suitable for the path of adaptation, she can enter the peak of the fourth energy level at such a young age. It is likely that she entered the path of adaptation at a very young age and was guided by elders who are on the same path.

Therefore, she would force herself to click on the third level of "Shadow Affinity". This path feature is basically useless before it reaches level three. It is good to click it once when the two levels are advanced for the first time, and it may not even be clicked this time. If no one teaches her, how could she click it three times in a row?

And before she clicks it three times and masters shadow stealth, she basically has no combat power.

As an assassin who is almost a consumable, is the cost of training her by the Hawkeye organization a bit high?

- Unless she does not need to go on missions at a low level.

It is precisely because she has no experience of bargaining with others at a low level and ultimately failing in assassination, and basically relies on level and equipment suppression... That's why she acts so impulsively.

Then, she is likely to have something to do with the assassin master of the previous generation. And that master probably does not approve of her joining the Hawkeye organization.

That makes sense... So the assassin lady, who is obviously at such a high level, is performing a bunch of easy tasks in Avalon.

She is a person with connections, sister.

... But this also means that this equipment may be a bit hot. Although her superior did not receive her signal, if she never contacted him, he must know that the assassin lady is dead. And there is a high probability that she will be captured or even exposed.

In that case, he will definitely move his position and escape. And the fact that she died in Avalon will also be reported to the Hawkeye organization.

Unless Aiwass can find her superior in advance and kill him, the assassin master may have to come in person.

But the assassin lady is a person with connections, and she is inexperienced so she can be exposed directly - can her superior also be exposed?

Aiwass does not expect it.

But even so, he does not intend to spit out the benefits he has obtained.

He has always been very greedy. This kind of good thing, Aiwass can give it to others, sell it, or even hand it in in exchange for some other benefits even if he can't use it himself. But I will never retreat quietly after being scared!

"...Anyway, what's in my hands is mine!"

Touching the black waist guard he had just taken off, Aiwass made up his mind.

No matter how strong the assassin master is, he is not as troublesome as the Star Antimony Kingdom and the Rosicrucian; Aiwass's future enemy is the Fallen Angels, so what do you think of a fifth-level assassin master?

Give me a year to develop, and I can reach the fifth level in both paths!

Besides, Meg is still alive now.

If there is really a fifth-level strongman entering the country, those big shots will definitely monitor him at the first time.

"Come to think of it," Aiwas suddenly thought of something and was no longer nervous. "Master Assassin... Does he also use shadows to sneak?"

He asked: "Shadow Fiend... If a fifth-level assassin uses shadows to sneak, can you deal with him?"

"If he takes the initiative to enter the master's shadow, I can easily kill him, and he will not have any ability to resist. But if he doesn't come in, I can only use your body to fight him... But you can only enter your body completely without causing irreversible damage to you if you master the third stage of shadow affinity."

The shadow demon said euphemistically.

——Otherwise, Aiwas's body will be squeezed out.

The "shadow affinity" is a path characteristic. For the extraordinary people who adapt to the path, they can learn shadow sneak attacks or shadow sneaks; and for Aiwas who transcends the path, it can only be a shadow ball. But as Aiwas's shadow affinity level rises, the power that can accommodate the shadow demon in his body is getting stronger and stronger.

At the third level, Aiwas can barely accommodate the shadow demon with his own body. In that case, Shadow Fiend would not have to hide in Aiwass's shadow, but could enter his body. No one else would realize that there was something in Aiwass's shadow.

When "Shadow Affinity" reaches the fifth level, Aiwass can merge with Shadow Fiend and truly exert the full power of Shadow Fiend.

It is even more powerful than Shadow Fiend itself!

Shadow Fiend, Fire Fiend, Mirror Fiend, and other higher-level demons are all incorporeal. Because they have no entity, they are subject to some restrictions - for example, Shadow Fiend is very afraid of the sun at noon, and will be seriously injured by various spells with sun affixes. But if Shadow Fiend drives Aiwass mecha, then it does not need to be afraid of such things at all, because Aiwass, as the shell, can easily block the spell attacks that it fears the most.

But if Shadow Affinity is clicked five times in a row, it means Aiwass can't think of clicking other characteristics. Unless you choose a compound entry like "Container of Burning and Radiance". Therefore, Aiwass's current plan is to first select the third level and then select the container-type items-wait until the upper limit is opened above level 50, and then go back to fill the shadow affinity.

"So," Aiwass asked, "If I have the third level of shadow affinity, can you fight him?"

"No problem."

The shadow demon replied briefly: "They still have a poor understanding of shadows, and they can't even jump in discontinuous shadows. As long as he enters the shadow near me, I can sense him."

That's good.

Aiwass was relieved.

In other words, when I surpass the path to the third energy level at the fastest, the assassin master will not be a match.

So he became a little impatient.

- When will you come to send some more equipment?

Lily's set is still short of two pieces.

Speaking of which, can you bring some skill books when you come? Secret books are not easy to get...

Aiwass's current merits are probably enough to exchange for another secret book.

I hope I can choose by myself this time - if I can, he will choose a secret book suitable for Lily.

"...You are much more skilled in speaking than before."

Aiwass was relieved and teased softly.

It speaks much more skillfully than before. Before, it would be stuck when speaking such a long string of words in one breath.

And its soft and sweet voice is indeed much better than before - the voice it made before was too cool, like a gloomy empress, and like a hoarse female demon.

Now it looks much younger.

At this moment, the shadows behind Aiwass suddenly gathered.

Black tentacles made of pure shadows floated from the ground, flowing into Aiwass's trouser legs and out of his collar.

The scattered black smoke gathered together to form the upper body of a beautiful girl.

She was light, weightless, and even a little translucent. The short curly hair and pupils were pure black like nothingness, and the part below the collarbone was naked.

She embraced Aiwas's head with both hands, and her upper body emerged from his collar and sleeves. But Aiwas didn't feel any softness or warmth, only the cold and slippery touch like snake scales. He shivered from the cold.

"Master... how about my new image?"

The shadow demon looked at Aiwas expectantly.

Aiwas looked at her with some surprise, and then understood: this should be the new image that the shadow demon constructed using the assassin lady as a template. It was a bit difficult for it to only use black and white - it was like a 3D version of a posthumous portrait.

He reached out and stroked the shadow demon's cheek and head. And her hair.

The touch from Shadow Demon's skin was like shower gel dripping on jade in winter. And her hair was like a cold spider web, like something almost gas but barely tangible.

"very beautiful."

He sincerely praised: "The voice is also very nice. But the voice is just that - but the appearance should be changed back. I still prefer cats and dogs."

"Isn't this beautiful?"

Shadow Demon was a little confused, but he still obeyed and melted and turned into a black hound.

Aiwass knelt down and stroked the dog's head affectionately, smiling: "It's very beautiful, I like it very much.

"It's okay to be like that occasionally. But I want to feed you, and you should also have the willingness and awareness to be a pet. If you do that kind of thing as a human, then forget it.

"——Whether letting the same kind of people become my pets or eating my own flesh and blood, it will distort my mind. Our cooperative relationship that is pure, interdependent, and mutually scrutinizing will gradually deteriorate."

Aiwass explained seriously, and when he rubbed the powerful black hound, it melted and turned into a black cat.

Its eyes and fur are pure black, like a ball. If you put it in a corner, there is a high probability that it will be completely invisible and impossible to find.

"Look, how cute is this?" Aiwass admired.

"...Moreover, Shadow Demon. Until now, you haven't even told me your real name, right? You don't think I've forgotten this, right?"

"Or do you think... I would think your name is just 'Shadow Demon'?"

Looking at the silent Shadow Demon, the corner of Aiwass's mouth rose: "When will you decide to tell me your real name and stop calling me master - when we become real, equal, and can trust each other?" Companion. When the time comes, you will become like this again.”

"...Will there ever be that time?"

Shadow Demon couldn't help but asked: "Human beings can only reach the fifth or sixth energy level at most."

"Yes," Aiwass said calmly, stroking the black cat, "Just kill Fallen Sky Secretary."

Upon hearing this, the Shadow Demon buzzed and dispersed into a puddle of black mud.

It obviously didn't expect Aiwass's ambition to be so big——

Such a sweet transcendental heart made it unable to help but become excited and unable to maintain its own mimicry.

Aiwass clapped his hands and stood up. He spoke slowly and softly to the boiling shadow at his feet: "Even so, your loyal heart is still worthy of reward.

"There are still ten days until the next advancement. When we advance successfully next weekend, I will feed you a big meal as a reward for your cute thoughts at the moment...my lamb."

"...I look forward to that day, my master."

Shadow Demon's voice was so excited that it almost trembled.
