Chapter 13 Baseline World Line

When the camera gradually zoomed in, zoomed in, and finally stopped on Queen Sophia’s half-open, frozen gray pupils, Aiwass thought the CG was over.

The camera went completely black.

But immediately after, another video clip appeared.

I saw Aiwass wearing the red robe of a bishop, pacing in the study of Moriarty Manor. He seemed a little anxious.

He pulled out a book from the bookshelf nervously, as if he wanted to read.

But before he could read, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder outside.

Aiwass immediately walked to the window and saw the sky darkening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The white-feathered gryphons took off in large swaths in the distance, and the pure white sky seemed to be soaked in ink, spreading from the center of the Silver and Tin Palace to the surroundings. Thunder roared, and the roaring storm swept through the streets, blowing away the fallen leaves on both sides of the streets in autumn.

In an instant, countless dead leaves were flying in the air. A storm visible to the naked eye swept through.

When the camera stopped here, the strong wind blew a fallen leaf and hit Aiwass in the face.

Aiwass was stunned for a moment before he realized that the cg was over and he could move.

"Seamless transition"

When he realized this, a sharp and unpleasant hoarse sound suddenly sounded in his mind, like fingernails scraping against a blackboard

"Your sister Julia Moriarty is a phantom egg, but fortunately, with the care of your adoptive father, James, her condition has been well controlled. Under You's treatment, her condition is even getting better and better.

“But not long after you were promoted to bishop, Yulia was suddenly kidnapped by a group of people. When you found Yulia, she had lost control and turned into a phantom.

“You feel that there may be a conspiracy behind this matter, conducting secret investigations and planning revenge. And not long ago, with the help of the famous detective Sherlock Hermes, you finally found out that the murderer behind the scenes was Minister Drost, who was a spy for the Star Antimony people.

“At the same time, you also discovered another conspiracy. Recently, Star Antimony and Avalon are organizing a marriage, but there are abnormal troop movements on the Star Antimony border.

"There is only the last day left for the engagement party, and there is no way to stop it, so you decided to divide your forces into two groups. You will report to the Great Guardian stationed at the border, while Detective Sherlock decided to go to the Palace of Silver and Tin to report the matter to Queen Sophia in person. At the same time, because you met Princess Isabel during the promotion ceremony, you sent her a warning letter after careful consideration.

"Now that a day has passed, the princess has not sent a reply, and Sherlock has not come back to find you. You realize that bad things still seem to happen"

The next moment , AiwassA few lines of words jumped out in front of my eyes.

Complete and make the survival rate of the civilians on Glass Island exceed 70 points 1000

Two necessary tasks, eleven additional tasks.

Even if you deduct the three trial tasks required for job transfer, there are still eight additional tasks.

There is no doubt that this is the time when Aiwass has the most tasks in the promotion ceremony.

According to Aiwass’ experience in these promotion ceremonies, the tasks given by Snake Father are full of extremely difficult tasks that cannot be completed normally, while the tasks given by Twin Mirror are full of the atmosphere of a happy person. , all kinds of huge points are simply filled in randomly, just to encourage you to do things.

The best task is that the task given to him by Sand Clock is itself a kind of guidance and hint. Even though Weizhe was messing around in the promotion ceremony, Sha Clock was still working hard to organize the trainees' thoughts.

As for the tasks given by the Lord of Scale Feather these two times, the bonus points are very conservative, and only one or two extremely difficult "additional questions" will be given high marks. Other tasks that are visible to the naked eye can be completed as long as you do it seriously.

Aiwass is like this, and so should everyone else.

Because of this, it may not be so easy to widen the gap in the Lord of Scales Feather script. The tasks that can be completed must be completed.

Aiwass stared at the dark clouds gradually spreading outside the window, silently analyzing these tasks.

The three trial tasks are all required for job transfer. Among them, the Beacon of Hope is a trial task required for advanced initiates and temple guardian monks. At least one-third of the progress must be completed. OK.

The task of "The Day of Destruction is Coming" obviously conflicts with the necessary tasks.

This should be for those who don’t fightCounting the common tasks prepared by the initiates who helped Isabel evacuate, tasks common to all paths.

Because necessary tasks must be completed, points will not be awarded in principle. The extra five hundred points needed to help Isabel escape need to be made up with other tasks. It is obvious that the disaster in Avalon is coming, and evacuating to other countries is the safest option. The second is to leave the glass island and hide in those small towns.

Aiwass didn’t know how big the map for this promotion ceremony was, but judging from this mission, he knew that it was at least larger than the entire Glass Island.

Slightly integrate the mission requirements, that is, send Isabel to the Theocracy. In this process, rescue as many people as possible and send them to a safe place.

Sherlock needs to be rescued as soon as possible. He might have been arrested while reporting the news, but it's hard to say where he is being held.

Then Aiwass had to kill Minister Drost again.

I have to say that this is the most satisfying task for Aiwass.

The last opportunity was given to Lily, and this time she can finally do it by herself.

Although Aiwass knew that Drost murdered Queen Sophia before, he still didn’t know how he did it

Because the Shadow of Avalon ritual only needed the last head. But after Queen Sophia was assassinated, the ceremony was not started.

This shows that Queen Sophia’s head was not included in this ceremony for some reason. When Queen Sophia explained the Shadow of Avalon ritual to Aiwass, Aiwass had doubts.

Before that, he had always thought that the number of heads was only two. The Queen filled in the penultimate one, and the last one was completed two years later, when the Fallen Order came, the Star Antimony split, and the doll Isabel who awakened people's hearts was sacrificed to Isabel's brother John, and the child's life was used to complete it. This ritual attempts to summon Lancelot.

But the queen said that there was only one person left.

Now that Aiwass has watched the complete cg, he finally understands what happened at that time.

The Queen said that there were only three people besides her who knew about this counterattack ceremony. Meg and Arius, as commoners, were unaware of this ritual.

Since the "big-name" civilians in Avalon don't know about it, and even Meg, Queen Sofia's most trusted person, doesn't know about it, then as a foreigner, Queen Sofia shouldn't know about Yanis. Tell her the deepest secret of Avalon. On the other side, Isabel obviously didn't know either.

Except for George and Shafiya, the last person to know about the ceremony may be Isabel’s father, Prince Albert. It may also be Shylock's father or brother, or the Privy Councilor Camelot.

While George died in the famous charge, Shafiya was the one who escaped with Isabel. But in the end, when Isabel went to the Theocracy, she was no longer around, and she probably died at that time.

This ceremony requiresTo demand the blood of twenty-one duracs who died in murder.

The key is "blood".

The Duraks who were cursed and poisoned before were obviously included. In other words, just get the blood. But no one knew at the time that blood needed to be taken from the queen's body to activate the Shadow of Avalon ritual.

Perhaps Shafiya knew, so she might have tried to go back and snatch the queen's body but ultimately failed. This can also explain why she died quietly, but the doll Isabel was able to obtain relevant information.

Moreover, for the first time in this promotion ceremony, an invisible and coded task appeared.

However, although this task was coded, Aiwass felt that the length of the blurred field should be "Shadow of Avalon".

This can explain why it is necessary to make the "survival rate of civilians on Glass Island exceed 70".

In the original "Cruel Autumn" incident, although the Glass Island was attacked by the Gargoyle Army, the Colossus and the Army did not advance at all. The main casualties were the extraordinary beings who tried to resist, and Star Antimony did not directly attack civilians.

Looking at this story from a civilian perspective, an assassin transformed into Isabel and poisoned Queen Sophia. Then the Star Antimony took the opportunity to invade and annihilate the Griffin Legion of Avalon and eliminate all Fifth The extraordinary beings of this level made the people of Avalon feel fear.

At this time, Princess Isabel succeeded to the throne and ceded a large number of interests to make peace, while continuing her marriage with Xing Antimony. Therefore, during the entire process of Xing Antimony's smooth retreat, although the civilians were severely frightened and many cities were extensively damaged, there were actually not many civilian casualties at this time.

They didn’t know that Minister Drost was the one who poisoned the queen, and that the real Isabel had escaped. They didn’t know that the knights of the Round Table Hall were fighting each other, and those left behind were the people from Star Antimony.

After all, at least half of the founding family is intact, and the Round Table Hall and the entire Avalon government are still functioning normally. They would only think that the remaining people died in the invasion, and would not know that the entire upper level had been replaced.

From the perspective of the Theocracy, it was Minister Drost who poisoned the Queen, and the rebellion in Avalon was initiated from within by the ministers. Although Xing Antimony secretly encouraged it, he did not let the extraordinary people directly attack the queen, nor did he pursue Isabel, so he did not break the Theocracy's bottom line.

And the people of Avalon at that time recognized the doll Queen Isabel because she brought "peace". After the people of Avalon realized the power and ferocity of Star Antimony, it was hard-won. Peace made people cherish it even more. Even if the doll Isabel kept delivering various benefits to Star Antimony and made people dissatisfied, no one would dare to object.

After all, they were indeed frightened by the Star Antimony people.

Even if they continue to sign one unequal treaty after another and continue to draw blood from Avalon, no one dares to resist Star Antimony. Because Avalon has been disarmed and wantsIt is impossible to resist.

After the Theocracy slows down, they will not be able to directly interfere with Xing Antimony’s puppet rule. Because that means eradicating all the upper-class rulers of Avalon, including most of the founding families.

This is simply impossible.

Because Avalon is essentially the joint rule of the founding family, the Dulac family is the monarch only because Lancelot did not become an apostle immediately, but continued to stay in the world to replace the silver. It's just compensation for the Crowned Dragon's rule over Avalon.

But in principle, the ruling power of Avalon is equally divided among the founding families.

It wasn’t until the Fallen Lords came and Isabel defeated the Fallen Lords with the support and help of the Theocracy that the people of Avalon began to doubt their puppet queen. After the doll Isabel escaped from control, she gradually regained herself.

It was precisely because the doll Isabel tried to summon Lancelot to save Avalon that Avalon was truly destroyed

Because Shadow Sky destroyed everything equally.

Whether it is the Round Table Hall or the Palace of Silver and Tin, or the knights and founders of the old era, whether they are inclined to Star Antimony or those who are inclined to Avalon, all have been given to them. The destruction of equality.

Is it possible to complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual without killing civilians?

Aiwass fell into deep thought, but soon realized a way to break the situation.

"It seems like it can really be done."

Aiwass murmured.

The key point is time.

Because when the second necessary task is completed, the promotion ceremony will end immediately and be settled.

That means that Aiwass can return immediately no matter what state he is in at that moment.

Because the requirement of necessary task two is to "make" Isabel evacuate, not "evacuate" with Isabel.

In other words, you don’t have to evacuate together.

Aiwass must complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual before Isabel evacuates in order to complete this task

And as long as the Shadow Sky Division comes, no matter whether it is the two fifth The most powerful ones, or the gargoyle army, will be swallowed up together. I can also do things that only I can do.

The only problem is that Aiwass will most likely die there.

This necessary task does not require survival, which means that it can be resolved even if you die.

However, the difficulty of this ritual is very high. If you die, you may die in reality, and your soul will definitely be damaged. Once the soul is damaged, it will increase the difficulty of subsequent promotions.

No, this is too risky.

Moreover, if he does not follow Isabel, he may not be able to allow her to reach the Theocracy safely.

Unless "Lulu" also happens to her, if the two of them cooperate, they can still have some fun.

"But ifIf we don't complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual, how can we stop Star Antimony's conspiracy?"

Aiwass fell into deep thought.

We must find a way to kill the prince and queen< /p>

Aiwass suddenly had this thought in his mind.

When he was watching the cg just now, Aiwass felt quite unhappy when he saw the two people, even though he knew that the prince was just here to play a role. The "Isabel" he was married to in name was just a ball-jointed doll, and Aiwass still felt very uncomfortable.

Whether it was his desire to possess Isabel or his desire to protect her. , the anger at the Queen being poisoned and Isabel being wronged, the distress for poor Isabel, and the worry when "Lulu" saw this cg, all made Aiwass' hatred of those two people increase.

If you can kill them, you may be able to stop Xing Antimony's conspiracy.

Aiwass has faced his true intentions. p>

There is no need to deceive himself with points and tasks, he can face his true heart

To be precise, whether killing them can stop Xing Antimony's conspiracy and Ai Hua. Stuart wanted to kill them even though they were not the targets that had to be killed in this promotion ceremony. Killing them was not only risky but also had no reward points.

Aiwass just wanted to do it. Do this.

Thinking of this, Aiwass began to check his status and the abilities he could use.

But his heart soon sank.

Except for the Butterfly of Disobedience and the priest's four sacred skills, he can only use "Pastoral", "Sunfire" and a small number of simple rituals.

The good news is that what he uses is. "Aiwass"'s body is undoubtedly his own. Aiwass doesn't feel awkward when using it. It's very comfortable and smooth.

But his mana pool is ridiculous.

It has a full 87 points of light attribute mana and only 29 points of fire attribute mana

Aiwass calculated for a while and figured out that this should be the standard panel of a level 29 priest. , and then add the mana pool created by the two-level light container and the first-level flame container. Because the container entry acts on the body, it cannot take effect in the dream, so this should be this body, which is the world line Aiwass. The entry he chose when he was promoted

In other words, it was the mana pool assigned to Aiwass by the Lord of Scale Feathers

"This is too weird to add."

Aiwass couldn't help but frown, and confirmed one thing: this Aiwass was definitely not himself as a time traveler.

Even if Aiwass is a single-professional priest, It is impossible for him to increase the level of the light container so high. In other words, if he did not have the adaptability to transcend the path and the mana pool needed to make the sin card, he might not even click on the container entry.

Unless there is a special profession that can convert mana into combat power, such as a sin scholar who just needs mana, a mage who can convert mana into each other, and a blood mage who can convert mana and life into each other, the container entry is meaningful.

Even if one of the three container entries is "Container of Burning and Glory", that means at least two promotion ceremony entries have selected containers. When Aiwas reaches the third energy level, he can only have one other entry at most.

Do you want to pile up such high mana because you don’t want combat power at all and just want to heal others?

Wait a minute

“There is no adaptability beyond the path. "

Aiwass murmured.

He finally realized why he felt so strange when watching the introductory plot

He subconsciously thought that he was dedicated to the promotion, so Aiwass body belonged to the mana pool of other professions. Blocked.

But now it seems that this should be another possibility for Aiwass.

This is Aiwass who is purely devoted to the path of devotion

His urge for the path has not occurred, so he has focused on the path of the priest since he was a child.

Then he would not have dropped out of school like crazy to study demonology at home, nor would he have secretly written letters to contact Noble Red, nor would he have become a demonologist, nor would he have been tied up and sacrificed.

He would not have been exposed to the Pelican Bar case and got the letter sent by Secretary Drost. In this way, the details of the "Red Stone" case would not have been known, and Aiwass would not have been silenced and attacked at the commendation ceremony.

Because Aiwass selected all the container entries and received sufficient comfort and treatment from Aiwass, the Flame Butterfly, who has the same memory and similar personality as Yulia, is less likely to cause trouble. , but will grow and develop with peace of mind. As a result, Yulia's health will improve a lot, and the seal will not expire prematurely, nor will she lose control and turn into a phantom.

Also because he is not exposed to this series of things, Aiwass can study with peace of mind.

In the end, he reached the third level one year after enrolling, passed the church examination and was promoted to bishop.

But also, Aiwass in this world line missed all opportunities to come into contact with the Noble Red.

So Aiwass would not know that the person who kidnapped Yulia was Noble Red.

The Giant Prince was not eradicated in time by Aiwass, and both Noble Red and Lloyd were in complete condition. Then the succubus Emma does not need to pass orders from Griffith, but can directly order her students to take Yulia's blood.

When Yulia is dying, the fully developed Flame Butterfly will burst out of her belly. The giant prince must have drained Yulia’s blood, causing the Flame Butterfly to appear. was hatched out.

"I understand"

Aiwass's eyes suddenly lit up.

He figured out the fundamental difference between the two world lines.

Aiwass’s impulse to transcend the path is notCompletely inherited from my grandfather. A large part of the reason comes from "divine entities". It was precisely because of Huan Tiansi's influence that Aiwass lost his mind and did those things.

His parents are still dead, and he is still adopted with Yulia, which means that at least the first half is the same. But I don’t know why, the sacred entity in Aiwass has never been awakened

In other words, this is the world line in which Huantiansi has not exerted influence on Aiwass

What if There is a "baseline" world line, which should be the "cleanest" possibility

On this world line, there is no existence of "players", no information about travelers, and no information about the world around the sky. influence exerted by the company. Aiwass was not exposed to the influence of any other special being.

In this world line, Aiwass and Isabel are not even familiar with each other, they are just strangers who have met each other once. Instead, he became friends with Sherlock.

He didn’t know Haina at all, and Lily might have died mysteriously. Meg was not saved, Chloe was not caught, and the bone sculpture successfully completed all his tasks.

The Lloyd's Company has not been liquidated, Tommy Lloyd still survives, the Noble Red establishment is intact, and the Giant Prince may even have obtained the Book of Law. The Round Table Hall has been completely corrupted, and Isabel is still cowardly and powerless.

Thinking of this, Aiwass's mood became subtle.

Huan Tiansi did nothing, but things turned out to be even worse than in a future where there were no time travelers and players, but Aiwass was affected by the divine entity.

At least in that possibility, both Lloyds and Noble Red will be punished, the corruption of the Round Table Hall is not that serious, and Aiwas and Isabel have also become friends. Aihua has no intention of transcending. Si, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to contact Isabel.

Aiwass chose so many container entries, obviously for Yulia.

Could it be that this is also a part of "evolution"

Making things change, thus creating new possibilities

Aiwass has an understanding of Huantiansi A deeper understanding. Thinking like this, his mind was a little confused for a while.

He subconsciously reached out and held the necklace on his chest in order to gain peace of mind.

He has long developed the habit of touching the "Isolde's Tears" given to him by Isabel when he is thinking.

But the unfamiliar touch within reach made Aiwass startled.

Aiwass subconsciously clenched it. Although I held it tightly, I didn't dare to use force for fear of accidentally breaking it.

He realized what it was without lowering his head.

Along with a burst of involuntary sadness, Aiwas's tears poured out uncontrollably.

Perhaps because the soul and body are too consistent, he directly felt the sadness that permeated "Aiwass"

Previously watchedAfter cg, the anger suppressed by reason burst out instantly. His body was shaking like a cold, and his free left hand suddenly clenched into a fist.

Aiwass was silent for a while, then silently wiped away his tears and looked down seriously.

He saw a ruby ​​necklace emitting warmth lying in his palm, like a butterfly, a maple leaf, and a flame.

Even if you hold it in your hand, it still exudes that familiar heat, just like someone's body temperature.

It is so familiar and yet so strange. Aiwass has only seen it in games.

"Fortunately this is just a dream." He whispered like a dream.

It is the remains of Yulia.

The 7,000-word update is not suitable to be divided into two chapters, so I combined the two into one.

Then I will recommend the new book by the author from Mao Station, which is also Hedgehog Cat is one of the few original authors who can stably receive tens of thousands of orders. I have written chapters for him since 4k. I didn’t expect that I would still write chapters for him. I really miss him.
