Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 243 Lily: Sorry to bother you

"Aiwass... really knows a lot of things.

Isabel opened her eyes wide, her eyes as pure as emeralds sparkling in the bright moonlight.

The full moon outside the window was as bright as a mirror, and the moonlight was like gauze, shining on the two of them through the window. Whether it was Aiwass's body or the white pajamas draped on Isabel, they all shone under the moonlight.

She looked at Aiwass with great admiration: "Whether it's the Lower City or the Round Table Hall... I still understand the lost rituals and characteristics of the road. I can't... It's hard for me to just recite the form the teacher gave me. . That’s really hard to remember.”

Hard to remember?

Aiwass's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "What does the path characteristic suggestion list that Master Yanis gave you look like? Is it very complicated?"

"Um."

Isabel nodded and complained in a low voice: "It was a form that the teacher gave me not long ago. The teacher said that it didn't matter when I was promoted for the first time, because I couldn't choose any good terms anyway. But from the second time When the promotion ceremony begins, you can't just come.

"It's basically something like 'if you have mastered some ability but not any ability, then what should you choose and what should you not choose among the several path characteristics that appear at this time?'

"For example, unless there is really no other choice, I cannot choose the container entry, even if it is purple. Because the 'art' ability of the Path of Beauty basically does not consume mana.

"Just like the [Strong Illusion] I chose this time. The teacher specifically said that if more than one of [Cunning Spell], [Strong Illusion], and [True Illusion] appear at the same time, [Cunning Spell] will be chosen first. , followed by [Strong Illusion]. And if you have not mastered [Strong Illusion], do not choose it if you see [Real Illusion]; but if you have mastered [Cunning Spell], do not choose it even if you have [Strong Illusion]. select.

"Or, if you see [Strong Illusion] and [Voice of Miracle] at the same time, choose [Voice of Miracle]; but if you see [Cunning Spell] and [Voice of Miracle], choose [Cunning Spell] 】…formulas like that.”

Isabel was very troubled: "There are so many possibilities! Last week, the teacher gave me a dense list of hundreds or thousands of situations. Most of them were about what I should choose and what I should choose if I already have something. Whatever you choose...it takes me three days to memorize it. And many of the words in it are the same, so it’s really hard to remember!"

"...What a stupid idea."

Aiwass sighed: "But it's quite useful."

The professional inheritance that Isabel received was obviously different from that of Mr. Knight - according to Little Barton, his parents gave him a list and then he chose from it.

Only select entries with excellent cost performance, regardless of the linkage effect between entries. Only use what you can use, even if it is weaker, instead of adjusting your route based on the effect of the entry.

And Yanis obviously knows this better. But after all, she couldn't always be by Isabel's side to help her refer to it, and she didn't know what entries Isabel would randomly find. So I simply listed all the possibilities in detail, and then Isabel can choose based on the formula.

In this way, she has the highest probability of choosing the optimal combination.

Just like when playing auto chess, new players actually don't have many versions to understand... But as long as the formula given by the boss with sufficient game understanding is comprehensive enough to cover all situations, there is no problem.

This can be regarded as the simplest and crudest professional inheritance. In the true sense, "knowledge changes destiny".

"Then what were your two previous traits?"

Aiwass asked curiously.

Although the path characteristic is everyone's biggest secret and is closely related to life safety... But Isabel has told herself the third characteristic, so there is nothing to hide the low-level characteristics in front of it.

As expected, Isabel did not hide it at all, but directly revealed everything: "After I decided to become an 'all-rounder', the first characteristic I chose was 'brightness and affinity', and the second was 'smart singing voice'."

"They're all good."

Aiwass's eyes lit up and he praised: "At least there is nothing negative or useless."

Although the first one is a bit confusing, it's actually okay - among common artistic abilities, painting and calligraphy are considered water attributes, sculptures and buildings are earth attributes, while singing and dancing with sacrificial attributes are light attributes, and musical instrument playing It belongs to the wind attribute, while screenwriters and novels with false and hallucinatory attributes are dark attributes.

Of course, there are also inheritances that use fire- or wind-attributed mana to dance, or use light-attributed mana to paint and write, but those are not the mainstream after all.

With Light Affinity, at least her singing and dancing abilities will be further improved.

And "Smart Singing Voice" is an entry with a percentage effect increase similar to "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice"... It can be regarded as a blue entry with quite high value.

Its effect is to simultaneously increase the difficulty and effectiveness of spellcasting for all song-mediated abilities.

The reason why it is not a purple entry is because it is a passive entry, not a switchable entry like "Light Body".

Holding this entry can indeed make low-difficulty magic songs have stronger effects, but it can easily cause high-difficulty advanced magic songs to fail - of course, if it succeeds, it will have a higher basic effect and percentage increase. It will be more obvious later.

"...Although it's a little messy, it's not a big problem."

Aiwass thought for a while and gave a suggestion: "It is better to look for [Cunning Spell] first. Cunning Spell can give all your spells or spell-like abilities that do not cause damage a chance to make amends when they fail."

In game terms, all spell abilities that do not cause damage can be re-rolled once on failure.

"I think Master Yanis gave you priority to find this entry because you have a 'smart singing voice' and may fail when singing difficult magic songs.

"From the perspective of expected value, for example, even if there is a one-fifth probability of success, as long as you have the cunning spell, the success rate will be more than one-third; if it was originally one-third, it will become about half ;If it were half it would become three quarters.”

Isabel wasn’t very good at math, so Aiwass chose to describe it in a simpler, more intuitive way: “In this way, you are reducing the negative effects of a smart singing voice, but getting the positive effects of it.

"And when the illusion is seen through by the opponent, it will also trigger the effect of [Cunning Spell]. This will make your illusion more difficult to fail.

"In contrast, [True Illusion], which can cause illusions to cause physical damage, is not that useful. Instead, it may invalidate your cunning spell, because it turns your illusion into a damaging one. It’s a spell.”

"...So that's it."

Isabel suddenly realized: "The teacher just told me to memorize it, but didn't tell me why. I will understand when you say this, Aiwass!"

After all, it’s just an urgent cramming before the exam. Aiwass thought.

How can you memorize this kind of thing a few days in advance... It's just like not explaining it well in class or focusing on the key points before the final exam. It's outrageous.

Master Yanis can carefully deduce various situations for Isabel and write hundreds or thousands of possibilities. It can be seen that she really loves Isabel. But with this stupid method, Aiwass felt that she really didn't know how to teach students.

...which is reasonable.

Although she is Isabel's teacher on the surface, she is actually Isabel's bodyguard... She is not very young as an elf, and she has most likely never been anyone else's teacher before. This is also the first time.

Because they were a little tired from standing, they sat back on the bed while chatting.

Isabel looked around nervously, and then gently patted Aiwass' pillow.

"what?"

Aiwass was a little confused.

"Just lie down."

Isabel whispered: "You'd better wrap yourself in a quilt... I can't bear to see it."

"I'm not cold."

Aiwass emphasized: "It's not cold."

Aiwass is indeed not cold - not to mention the winter temperature, even if he is soaked in ice water for a while, he will not get frostbite.

The third energy level is a big qualitative change. It can even be said that...it was only from the third energy level that we officially embarked on the path to transcendence.

Because starting from the third energy level, extraordinary power will begin to have a significant impact on the body.

Before that, extraordinary beings were just ordinary people who could use some special powers. Even if an ordinary person attacks first with a gun, there is a high probability that he can defeat the extraordinary... And if there are dozens of ordinary people with guns, they will have no choice but to surrender.

But starting from the third energy level, the situation begins to be different.

The earliest career promotion starts from the third level. Starting from this energy level, it becomes difficult for ordinary people to defeat extraordinary beings.

Even Isabel, who was purely a support player, could now be as flexible as an excellent gymnast. The power bursting out of her body can even allow her to move at high speeds through ropes or climb walls dexterously. She can now easily climb over a two- to three-meter high wall without using tools; she can even avoid arrows that are farther away after seeing them.

If you are an extraordinary person who is proficient in the path of beauty and is proficient in dancing, you can do it even better. But Isabel is an all-rounder...an all-rounder means that she is not as good as other extraordinary people on the path of beauty who specialize in a certain way. However, her abilities are the most comprehensive, and agility is only a secondary attribute for her.

The primary increase that the power of the road has on Aiwass is his vitality.

Even without using "Sacrificial Fire", he can now rely on his body's rapid self-repair to perform lighting techniques. Probably using all the mana of the lighting, it can be fully restored directly with natural blood regeneration. If he was cut by a dagger, there would probably be only a white mark left in an hour. Even a penetrating injury from a firearm can be recovered in a day or two.

After all, the art of "Sacrificing Fire" is a sacred art carefully selected by the church. Before this skill is developed, if the extraordinary person who devotes himself to the path does not have strong enough vitality, he will be squeezed dry by the illumination skill.

"No, you'd better cover yourself with a quilt."

Isabel said firmly: "I'll just sit next to you."

Unable to resist her, Aiwass also got under the quilt. Although I am not afraid of the cold, it is definitely more comfortable inside the quilt than outside... lying down is better than sitting down.

Mainly lying on the bed and chatting with the person sitting next to the bed, which feels a bit strange. Aiwass originally wanted to lean on the pillow, but Isabel forced it into him.

——I was wearing a two-piece suit, but Aiwass was not wearing any clothes. This not only made Isabel a little unbearable, but also a little embarrassed... mainly because she couldn't help but glance at Aiwass.

This made her feel ashamed.

She brought herself to Aiwass, thinking that if Aiwass looked at her like this, she would feel ashamed.

——But she really couldn't control herself! My vision drifted away by itself!

"Actually, I have also mastered some new abilities."

Aiwass smiled and said: "Want to try it? My blessing technique."

"How to try?"

Isabel was a little curious and a little excited.

"Put your head over and close your eyes," Aiwass said.

And Isabel also bowed her head obediently and came over.

Aiwass put his hand on Isabel's forehead and showed a fox-like smile: "This is a blessing technique, a sacred skill that only bishops master. According to the rules, shouldn't you say something to me at this time? "

For example, Dear Bishop Aiwass, could you please give me the blessing of the candlestick?

But after hearing this, Isabel's face immediately turned red.

She hesitated for a while.

Taking a deep breath, he whispered: "Dad, dad..."

Avas's eyes suddenly widened and he was stunned.

"……ha?"

Seeing Aiwass's reaction, Isabel immediately knew that she had misunderstood Aiwass's meaning.

Her face suddenly turned red.

She subconsciously wanted to run away, but as soon as she stood up and turned around, she suddenly saw Lily standing quietly behind her.

Isabel screamed in fright and fell back onto the bed.

"...Your Highness Isabel?"

Lily's face was still a little sleepy: "Are you here...?"
