The Glass Steps of the Shepherd Tantra Chapter 54: The Path of Inscription Seeing Leah raising her hand and staring closely at him with a murderous gaze, the consultant suddenly glanced at the grapes beside him, and for a moment his soul was blessed.
"I have one last question," he spoke quickly, "Am I the only person you want to kill?"
Leah did not answer, but the silence itself was the answer.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with Putao.
Did he trigger some fatal condition?
The consultant's mind was full of thoughts for a moment. Although he didn't know what he had done to make her have to kill him, in the end he decisively gave up hope of living.
He had seen the power of this phantom with his own eyes before, and he knew that if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have absolutely no hope of surviving.
If he were here, there might be a chance to escape.
However, Sherlock is only a third-level mage, and he doesn’t even have a weapon at hand. It can be said that there is no hope of victory in the face of this kind of demigod with divinity.
In this case, there is no point in struggling anymore, and it may also involve the grapes.
The consultant had already made such a plan in an instant.
"Listen up"
As he moved sideways in the direction away from "Mycroft", he shouted quickly, "Don't be an enemy of Aiwass, he They are the blessed ones of the twin mirrors."
He tried his best to convey the final information to Putao in words that did not reveal their identities as promoted persons.
After saying this most critical sentence, the consultant breathed a sigh of relief.
When he died this time, I don’t know if he will die in reality. But even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will probably lose all his memories.
The reason why the consultant is so desperate is not because the consultant is too loyal to Valentine VII. He didn't care that much about Xing Antimony.
The extraordinary beings on the Dusk Path are all like this. There are very few things that they can care about from the bottom of their hearts.
But equally, he hated "meaningless death" even more.
Because it means nothingness, the burying of value, and forgetfulness.
And dusk is the way to inscription and eternity.
If you must die, then dying during the promotion ceremony is the best choice. He didn't die because of meaningless hatred, he didn't die because of political struggle, he didn't die because of assassination or frame-up, but he died for seeking the truth and for the desire to rise to a higher level.
That is the most meaningful thing. When he dies, he will not leave a chain of hatred behind.
Especially in the full moon ceremony, there is no one worthy of hatred; even in the new moon ceremony, it is a fair competition under the witness of the Pillar God.
The only one I can blame is that I am not strong enough or cautious enough. What I will leave behind before my death will only be information and secrets passed on to others.
The only regret is that I am notHe died during the twilight ceremony at the fifth to sixth level.
That is the "last promotion ceremony" that only exists in legends. As long as you pass it, you can be called the strongest person in the material world.
The mortality rate in that ceremony is extremely high, and even if you survive, you may not be able to be promoted successfully. In the history of nearly a thousand years, there have been only a few successful people. There are not many people who can reach the peak of the fifth energy level, and he himself has not yet developed the power of the fifth energy level to the limit.
It would be great if I could witness that wonder. The advisor thought to himself.
Compete with the strongest people in the world. If you succeed, you can become the strongest in the world. Even if you fail, it means a glorious death. It has become the fuel of miracles, and your own existence This will also be remembered.
There have been so many people at the fifth level for thousands of years, and not many people can remember their names. But if he can become the nourishment of the sixth level, I am afraid that future generations will remember his name.
However, his death is not meaningless.
He has handed over the most important information to Putao.
Putao is a very smart girl and the most beloved student of the counselor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip to stay with her just for Putao's promotion.
I hope she can analyze what she really wants to express from this sentence and wake up to her intentions.
Aiwass can use the blessing of the twin mirror to copy the other party's path and ability
The consultant stared at Grape tightly, as if hoping that she could understand his thoughts. .
While saying that sentence, his feet continued to move, trying to stay away from the grapes. In order to prevent the Flame Butterfly's attack from killing him from affecting her. The words he left behind were only superficially a sign of goodwill to Aiwass, and the Flame Butterfly had no reason to kill "Mycroft" .
Just when the consultant's last words were spoken, he had already taken three horizontal steps.
Before the fourth step was taken, a stream of scorching flames roared out
"Sherlock"'s body was completely engulfed in flames in an instant.
The other side, before this.
The stranger woke up leisurely to the sound of fierce fighting.
He covered his forehead with a complicated expression.
Today, he finally knew why his mission included the clause "not to be brought back to Star Antimony".
It turns out that as long as you do nothing, you will be taken away by the Star Antimony people
It is true.
After all, he was born into a noble family of Star Antimony, and Stranger was very familiar with the behavior of the Star Antimony Kingdom.
If this world line is established and the Zim people are eager for R&D talents, they will definitely take back the Nobel master. For the Star Antimony people, robbing talents is far more important than robbing resources and treasures.
A country that can accommodate children of the moon, necromancers, demonologists, witches, alchemists, wizards, priests, astrologers, hunters, and assassins at the same time.Highlight anyone who comes.
They even have a small number of local extraordinary people on the path of authority and path of beauty. As long as they are talented, Xing Antimony will definitely want them.
Whether your heart is here or not, as long as you are here first. As long as the money, resources, status and respect are given, you have to work.
Taking a step back, even if you really don't cooperate, will you be killed? If you can extract your soul and become a ghost scholar, it is at least better than staying in other countries and inventing things for them.
Because Xing Antimony has always regarded itself as the "successor of the Herasl Empire", and the empire was known for its inclusiveness and tolerance of all paths. Based on this tradition, Star Antimony cannot openly express any resistance to extraordinary people of any path.
Since you want everything, let’s get something good. It is better to give the same resources to talents than to waste.
As a teenager, Moke was proud of Xing Antimony’s strong inclusiveness of “talent-only theory”.
No matter what path you take, as long as you can become a strong person or a well-known scholar, you can gain people's respect and trust. You can gain wealth, status, and social recognition.
For the young stranger, his talent was something that made him proud.
He doesn’t think there is anything wrong with things like necromancy. In this world, as long as a person dies, his soul will return to the dream world and be left alone, and his body will become undead. Rather, it would be “unnatural” to say that a corpse was buried by a priest and then laid to rest.
In this case, studying corpses is no different from studying monsters. People will turn into undead after death, just like flies that lay eggs in carrion. Studying the undead is like studying these flies.
He became a powerful supernatural being and a smart scholar at a young age. When he was a teenager, he would gather together to chat and have meals with extraordinary beings of the fourth or even fifth level. He always looked very humble and gentle. That was because he had always been in contact with this country. Among the top experts in the world, any one of them would be much stronger than him.
In this environment, he has no pride at all.
And similarly, he is also extremely eager to reach that position.
Be able to truly communicate with their peers and get to know them based on their own inventions and talents rather than because of their own origins and talents.
One’s origin is not something one can choose; and one’s talents are not fully realized either. How many things do you have that belong to you?
In this situation, Stranger is extremely hungry for recognition.
If we talk about his advantage, it is that he is young enough. He was exposed to a lot of new things, and his vision was different from that of those veteran experts and scholars. Based on this cognitive difference, he was able to come up with some "ideas."
But if you just give people ideas to study, then all he can get is a thank you.
You have to complete a complete research independently.
The stranger thought.
So when he heard that the War Department was worried about the Gargoyle troops being incapacitated when entering the Bishop's sanctuary, he was immediately interested.
In one of his previous experiments, he created unconscious flesh and blood due to an accidental mistake. This flesh and blood can only be used as flesh and blood skin for splicing corpses. It is not of much value, but what if it is used as a skin for gargoyles
So, before graduating from Moke University, the paper published was published on It was published in the highest-level academic journals and even received the attention of several generals.
He immediately became interested.
Although the initial request has been completed, the gargoyle as an aerial scout has the ability to sneak into the sanctuary without being immediately paralyzed, but can he do better
The flesh and blood skin is easily broken and may fall off during high-speed flight. Then put on a metal shell for fixation and protection.
But in this case, the dexterous gargoyle will become cumbersome. It has lost its meaning as a silent scout, but as a close combat unit, it really lacks attack power.
How about throwing explosives?
Previously, the Gargoyle could not do this because the explosives would change the Gargoyle's center of gravity. This makes them unstable in flight and difficult to throw into designated areas. Now that the weight of the gargoyle has increased significantly, it can actually have a throwing effect.
As a result, Stranger was praised by the Minister of War. He was awarded the Lieutenant Medal even though he had never been on the battlefield and had not been trained for a day.
That is "a commendation in advance for his current inventions and future military exploits."
The stranger has been praised and become a celebrity, and can even chat with the big shots at banquets. He is finally no longer the "highly anticipated future star" or the "future fifth level", but a genuine "genius necromancer".
He was no longer someone's son or someone's student, but "Albert Lorey", the strongest genius of the younger generation
So he devoted himself wholeheartedly to " "Armed Gargoyle" is being researched and optimized.
Gargoyles are just a useless unit. Their previous role was to fall silently on buildings at night, providing long-distance vision for the ritual masters.
And the unconscious rotten meat he researched has no meaning at all. Even the most common dagger can cut it, and the spliced corpse made from it will be extremely fragile.
As for armor, this is even more true. Star Antimony is rich in metals but does not use them much. The core materials of the Colossus are stones and gems. The only people who use large amounts of metals are the physics professions in the Black Eagle collar.
They have also developed a large number of advanced firearms and bullets, but they can basically only be sold to goblins because the inventions of the alchemists are much more useful than this, and these machine guns can only be sold to those heavyArmor can also be used by hunters who can move freely.
In Stranger's opinion, he simply turned waste into treasure. The combination of worthless things, things that no one wanted, and useless arms made them the main force of the army. Even the fifth-level big shots who made the army deploy tactics based on their own research had to change their habits to cater to him.
He kept writing various papers. In the end, he didn't even have to do experiments himself, he only needed to make prototypes by hand.
There are a large number of experimenters in the Army's laboratories who are much more professional than him. He only needs to write down the theoretical possibilities and prototypes, and they will complete various tests with more professional efficiency than him, and the test data will be returned directly to him after he wakes up.
The extremely comfortable research environment made Moke feel strong satisfaction.
Like drinking fine wine, the brain swells and becomes numb. The whole person is very excited, and I will not feel tired even if I study day and night. You don’t have to do all the troublesome parts, you just need to conceive and imagine
The real use of his talents is not just to arm gargoyles, he even writes down every idea he comes up with, giving Went to the laboratory for further demonstration.
Even though Xing Antimony is still in the war stage, it is still tilting a lot of resources towards him.
The Stranger believes that arming the gargoyles can be completed in just two months. During this time, he also renovated and optimized many weapons from the old era. He has not done his job of splicing corpses for three months because he has more and more work at hand. The research matters that need him to handle alone are scheduled for two months.
Now that people are praising him, Stranger can finally accept all of them. He is no longer anxious about his origin and talent. People no longer look forward to him in the future, but have begun to worship the current "Albert Lorey".
The teacher taught him that the road at dusk is the road of inscription and eternity.
In his opinion, the dusk path means "the present moment".
Now is eternity
But when the old woman who saved him was blown into a pile of minced meat in front of him.
The blood, which was like droplets but slightly granular, splashed out and evenly covered his face. His face had turned dark red, and there were dense, dotted blood stains on his skin. Like a glass window on a rainy day.
No longer a compliment, no longer a flattery. It is no longer the approval of the elders, the approval of the seniors.
He has been exposed to a lot of blood and corpses. But he has never made himself so dirty. In order to prevent infection and contamination of materials, he will wear gloves and protective gear according to the procedures every time he handles a corpse.
He has indeed seen people being executed. But in Star Antimony, death row prisoners are extremely valuable materials. In addition to necromancers, Moon Sons and Demonologists also use them. In order to ensure the integrity of the body, there was not much other than electric shock, injection, or even hanging.
The moment the bomb fell, he seemed to be awakened by the explosion.
The past few months were like being in a dream
And in an instant, he seemed to wake up from a dream.
The stranger even had an illusion in a trance, as if he accidentally pushed his child downstairs after being drunk. The brain became clear again in an instant, and the whole noisy world became silent.
Now when he thought about his research, he only felt sick.
"What a genius."
The stranger looked at his hands mockingly, "Are you a genius for killing people?"
After he passed out, the The blood had long been wiped clean, but now he could repeatedly hallucinate a trace of scarlet from it.
At this moment, the sound of fighting outside gradually subsided.
Probably Xing Antimony won the battle.
The stranger thought calmly.
He was now arrested and escorted in name only, but actually arrested. He can't complete the task at all, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to advance smoothly.
This advancement has failed.
He really couldn't imagine that troops with colossi and gargoyles were "escorting" him. How else could he escape.
There are still several days left, and I don’t know how to survive.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage he was in was lifted.
The person who opened the curtain made the stranger startled.
Because he knows this person.
"The Great Guardian of Avalon"
"Master Nobel."
The middle-aged blond man with tired eyes and a calm tone asked "Are you going back to Star Antimony?" Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
