Pastor's Tantra

If this curse were cast on ordinary people, it might significantly reduce their thinking ability.

But it was just right for Sherlock - he felt that his mind had become clearer. Even because the noise in his head disappeared, he was able to use more resources.

"...How could you put a curse on me in front of me?"

Sherlock frowned: "This is the first time I have seen a curser who allows the cursed to watch the whole process..."

"no?"

Aiwass asked confidently: "Just tell me if it's cured."

"really……"

"Teacher Iben taught me."

Aiwass smiled: "Together with the ceremony."

"Tsk."

Sherlock smacked his lips, his expression obviously relieved, and the influence of alcohol began to slowly take over: "I knew that you, a charming person, must have the adaptability to transcend the path..."

"It's true that you are charming and charming, what's the matter? Are you not convinced?"

Aiwass narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"There is nothing to be dissatisfied with, Your Excellency, Minister Moriarty." Sherlock said expressionlessly.

"It seems that you are indeed dissatisfied, Mr. Secretary Hermes."

Aiwass couldn't help laughing.

Sherlock is obviously much more interesting after he drinks too much - he is usually a boring gourd, although he can be eccentric, but lacks flexibility. He didn't bother to say a few words.

But Aiwass actually quite likes being fucked like this. After all, this was how he interacted with his friends in his previous life, which made him feel nostalgic. It's just that this world lacks the art of telling strange things... Of course, maybe it's just that the old-fashioned Avalon lacks it.

"How long will this curse remain on me?"

Sherlock asked: "How long will the performance you cast last?"

"Two weeks."

Aiwass said casually: "Of course, it doesn't mean that it will take effect for two weeks... but that after two weeks it will be the night of the new moon. The curse will become stronger that night and may hurt you. So in I have to lift it for you once before that, and then add it to you after that night."

"...You mean, I have to hang it all the time?"

Sherlock's face turned ugly.

"if not?"

Aiwass asked back: "Then you exercise? It's because your body is so poor that you are counterattacked by the power of the Tao."

"...How long do I have to exercise?" Sherlock hesitated.

"It will take three or four years anyway."

Aiwass said with a smile: "So actually you don't need to exercise, because it's too late - your promotion speed will definitely be faster than exercising."

It's a pity that he has no muscles now.

Otherwise, he would have to lift up his clothes to show Sherlock his proud abdominal muscles, and then tell him to at least train to look like this. Now, he would probably be laughed at by Sherlock.

But Sherlock was obviously very angry at Aiwass's words - he drank the hot cider in the cup in one gulp.

"What should I do?"

Sherlock frowned. This time it was not because of a headache, but because I felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle: "Did I really go the wrong way..."

"Indeed."

Aiwass nodded and explained in terms that Sherlock didn't quite understand: "In other words, this is the price you pay for choosing dual-law professions and upgrading simultaneously. It's okay to eat double the mana pool of the same color... eat The debuff status is also normal.”

The magician's mana pool is the main wind and secondary light, while the mage's mana pool is earth, fire, water, and wind.

For professions on the path of wisdom, the mana pool gained when upgrading is twice that of other paths, and is added to the four attributes on average. At the same time, the mage profession, starting from the third energy level, has the professional characteristic of being able to convert mana between the four attributes of earth, fire, water and wind. It only costs twice the mana to convert mana into mana of adjacent attributes.

For example, earth can be transformed into fire or water, but it cannot be transformed into wind. If you go from earth to water, and then from water to wind, it will cost four times the mana.

This means that if a lawyer is a part-time mage, he can basically get nearly three times the wind attribute blue bars of a normal lawyer. And he can also use the mana pool obtained by the lawyer to release wind attribute spells, or convert it into mana of other attributes.

This intensity is very high. This is also the fundamental reason why mage can be used as a universal plug-in profession.

But when these two spellcasting professions reach the third energy level, they will get a "spiritual body imbalance" DEBUFF. Its effect is "Reaction dodge -10%, spell casting success -20%, gain [Mental Fragility] after waking up every day, lasting for one day."

[Mental fragility] means that when suffering from mental negative states such as charm and coma, two dice must be rolled each time and the lower saving probability will be used. Fortunately, this state can be dispelled, unlike "spiritual body disorder".

The treatment Aiwass gave Sherlock before was to relieve this negative state.

"Spiritual body disorder" cannot be eliminated even by Aiwass.

However, Aiwass can put a feeble-minded curse on him to temporarily prevent this effect from being triggered.

[Curse: Fog of Ignorance] can reduce Sherlock's intelligence by one-third and invalidate all "super-intelligence" skills.

Super wisdom is a skill category of the path of wisdom, similar to curses. To put it simply, it overclocks the brain, which is a very dangerous skill. If you use it for too long, it may burn your brain.

Or in player terms, this is the explosive skill specific to the mage profession. Only by turning on at least one super-intelligent power state can mages use multi-element composite spells. When the super-intelligent state is turned on, it either starts to lose blood, or starts to lose mana, or starts to add vulnerability to itself, or slows down the movement speed... in short, it becomes fragile.

The reason why "spiritual body disorder" cannot be lifted and dispelled by priests is because it is essentially a super-intelligent skill that cannot be lifted by oneself and is useless. Its greatest significance is that it is of no use.

"If you change someone else...even Bishop Mathers, he will never be able to cure you."

Aiwass spoke with certainty and confidence: "So it's not a loss if you thank me. I am the only one in Avalon who knows how to cure this disease."

This is real.

Because of this symptom, it is also a terminal illness in the Narcissus Principality. Only the Ancient Kingdom of Anthia knows how to use curses to suppress this disease - they even have specialized technology on how to use curses to increase or cure the disease. Many players even go out of their way to learn their skills.

For example, there is a curse called the "Axe of Recklessness". The effect is to make the person holding the ax a mentally retarded fool, reducing intelligence to increase strength and physique in equal proportions.

If it lasts long enough, the intelligence can be drained directly - to the point where it is lower than a dog's intelligence. After his intelligence is drained, he can no longer even use his martial arts, let alone fight calmly.

But you can mechanize your logical thinking through the "Iron Reason" ritual, thereby locking the lower limit of your intelligence. In this way, he becomes a calm and absolutely rational axe-wielding guard with twice the strength and physique of the same profession and level.

A spellcasting profession that mainly uses the four-element mana pool, a third-level mage as a part-time job, and the "Curse of the Fog of Ignorance" - this is the standard inheritance of the ancient Anxi kingdom.

Aiwass reminded: "The fog of ignorance will reduce the power of your spells, probably by less than one-third. But the advantage is that the backlash after your spell fails will also be reduced by one-third.

"If you need high-intensity combat but are not pursuing the stability of spell casting, you can try to lift the curse. I will prepare a simple hint for you to lift the curse. If you lift the curse, the stability of spell casting will decrease, but The power will be greatly increased——

"And the most important thing is that you don't need to activate the 'super intelligence' skill to use compound spells. Because in this state, you can use compound spells at any time."

Aiwass added.

Sherlock was a little stunned: "How do you know super-intelligent skills and compound spells?"

Even ordinary mages don’t know!

He had read enough books to know this...Aiwass usually knows so many things and has such miscellaneous knowledge, does he still have the time to read occult books on the path of wisdom?

Aiwass said meaningfully: "I know everything.

"I even know that the reason why you were delayed in getting promoted was because you were ill."

"I'm sick? What kind of disease can I have? Is it rabies infected by you, a naughty fox?"

Sherlock sneered, disapproving.

But what Aiwass said next made him tense up: "Of course it's a pretentious and youthful disease.

"You dare not continue to walk on the path of wisdom. On the one hand, it is because Avalon has no inheritance, and on the other hand, it is because of Isabel and I.

"You didn't expect Isabel to be such a genius. She could accumulate energy from the second level to the third level in less than a month. You also didn't expect that I was stronger than you... so you think that your talent in the path of wisdom is insufficient. To support you if you want to go back to the path that you don’t like but are better at.”

Hearing Aiwass's words, Sherlock's eyes gradually became sober.

- He's sober.

"...What do you think?"

Rarely, Sherlock showed confusion in front of Aiwass: "Which path should I take? The right path, or the dream path? A longer and flatter sand road, or a path in the forest?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Aiwass smiled and was confident: "Of course it is the path I chose for you - it is a brand new path, but it is the most suitable path for you. This profession is called 'Mithraic Worshiper'.

"Oh, by the way. You don't know what happened to Ms. Meg, right? Let me tell you from the beginning."

With that said, Aiwass told Sherlock the story of how Meg became Ligeia from beginning to end.
