Pastor's Tantra

After both parties tacitly demonstrated their abilities, goals, and wishes, Aiwass and Shadow Demon temporarily reached an agreement.

As the shadow demon sneaked back into Aiwass's shadow again, the shadow that spread like silt throughout the bar was sucked back into the shadow under Aiwass.

Just like a swimming pool with the outlet opened, the shallow lake of shadow soon became "dry".

The warm winter sunshine shines in again, filling the bar room.

It was as if the moist shadow just now was just an illusion.

--very good.

Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the four most important things are done.

Completed revenge for Aiwass, killed the "friend" who betrayed him; successfully eliminated his own evidence; obtained the next clues for investigation; awakened and appeased the shadow demon.

Now, it’s time to have fun opening the treasure chest!

Aiwass listened carefully and found that Haina was still searching below and did not go upstairs.

——It’s time to lick the bag!

He rubbed his hands eagerly and began to search for his trophies.

Aiwass quickly found a small round box about the size of a thumb, which looked like cooling oil. A crescent moon pattern with a human face is etched on it, and a line of small characters "1886-03-071, Living Silver Workshop" is marked below.

This thing looked familiar to him.

This is a drunken dream tincture. A specialty of the Star Antimony Kingdom.

"Good stuff. A good start."

Aiwass raised the corners of his mouth slightly and put it into his pocket.

Drunken Dream Tincture is a magic potion that can stabilize dreams and anesthetize the body so that it is less likely to wake up. It is an alchemical product of the path of balance. It can also be used as an anesthetic for surgery, but its main use is as an auxiliary drug to enhance the success rate during advanced stages.

In Xianxia novels, it is roughly equivalent to a foundation-building pill. When the level is low, the increased breakthrough success rate is quite impressive.

Zuimeng Tincture is known as the "little promotion medicine" among players, and it can increase the success rate of the promotion ceremony. It's probably similar to the magic potion in classical MMORPGs that can enhance and build equipment that can increase the success rate of enhancement.

In terms of setting, to advance to a professional level, you have to enter a dream and hold a complicated dream ceremony with a very high failure rate. But in the game, it is determined by a cold promotion success percentage. Preparing some special rituals or materials can increase the success rate.

If you succeed, you will advance successfully after a burst of special effects, and the upper limit of the professional level will be increased by ten levels. Then three entries pop up for you to choose one.

This is the path characteristic obtained when the promotion is successful this time.

If you fail, you will be relegated to level 19. If the players are out of materials, they can just prepare a new ritual to advance; for NPCs, if they fail to advance, they will have to wait for a longer and longer cooldown that increases with the level, at least half a month.

Veronica is now a level 19 demonologist and is about to advance to the next level; or she may have failed several times, so she prepared Drunken Dream Tincture for herself.

Judging from the number of ritual spells she has mastered, she should have stayed at the second level for a long time - when the level cap is locked, the skill level can still be improved as usual, but the profession will not be further upgraded. .

Aiwass' current promotion from the first level to the second level is not difficult, and he is basically certain to succeed. No need for it yet.

He can use it later when he is promoted from level 19 to level 20.

And because Aiwass is pursuing two paths at the same time, he has to eat two portions.

Zuimeng Tincture itself is not a particularly rare magic potion, so there is no need to cherish it. Its price in Star Antimony is not high, only forty-six White Crown coins. However, it is purely handmade by alchemists, so the supply is insufficient, so it requires a reservation and is limited to purchase.

And the most important thing is that this medicine will be difficult to buy in Avalon for the time being.

Because since two years ago, the Star Antimony Kingdom has become Avalon's enemy.

All alchemical products from the Kingdom of Star Antimony are restricted from being exported to Avalon; correspondingly, Avalon does not allow the import of alchemical products from the Kingdom of Star Antimony, and it also does not allow the country's minerals and timber to be exported to Star Antimony.

Currently, except for a few remaining Zuimeng tinctures on the market in Avalon... there are probably only scalpers who are stocking up and ordering from ten times the price.

Five hundred white coins is just the starting price.

This is a price Haina could not even imagine. It is about ten years’ salary of an ordinary worker.

It’s not like Aiwass can’t afford it.

He just doesn't want scalpers to make so much money so easily.

He doesn't intend to leave this thing to the Supervision Bureau - even if the Supervision Bureau gets it, it will only resell it at a high price. There is even a high probability that it was sold to the Moriarty family.

Because everyone knows that Young Master Aiwass has recently embarked on the extraordinary path and became a priest. You also need to stock up on Zuimeng Tincture in advance.

——Then there is no need to let middlemen make the difference.

But unfortunately, after finding Zuimeng Tincture, Aiwass couldn't find any good things.

He found only some ritual materials.

But those are all human body materials, such as placenta or baby's scalp. Not only was it of little value, but he had no use for it.

Aiwass had already sworn not to use materials from his own species for rituals - and he really didn't like this cruel behavior. So he didn't take them away. Instead, leave them on Veronica as evidence of her guilt.

The red robe she was wearing was actually valuable.

…But Aiwass felt that he shouldn’t be able to take it off.

Not to mention that this is women's clothing, and Aiwass can't wear it; and Veronica doesn't wear anything underneath, so she just takes off her clothes, which is a bit perverted...

Of course, it would be useless if he got the red robe.

In the game, players have no identity, so they can sneak into the association through red robes. But now that he is Aiwass Moriarty, he simply cannot pass the inspection of the Noble Red Society.

If he really succeeds in joining, he will be threatened by the association in turn. Because once the matter is exposed, Aiwass will not be able to survive in the Kingdom of Avalon. Even the adoptive father, eldest brother and Yulia will suffer from this.

"……Huh?"

Aiwass suddenly pulled out a brass ring that shone with golden light.

It was engraved with a scarred fist, which was clenched tightly and blood dripped from the fingers. And that sparkling "blood" is actually ground ruby ​​powder. Under the sun, it seemed to reflect a dark red viscous luster like real blood.

The next moment, a light curtain popped up:

【Noble Red】
