In a sense, the "Royal Law University" is the reason why Aiwass must keep Avalon for at least two years.
That was a large-scale experience field that allowed Aiwass in the game to grow into a reliable assistant in just half a year.
Even a country girl like Haina, who had never been exposed to the extraordinary before, only started to get in touch with the extraordinary from zero in the second semester of her freshman year... While she maintained her top academic performance and learned a lot of miscellaneous knowledge at the same time, she grew to level 25 or 26 before her senior year.
Even though the upgrade is quite fast in the early stage, this is still a very good data.
He was not a traveler who gained proficiency in the language after traveling through time, but was the memory of a past life recalled by Aiwass - or in other words, he traveled through time when Aiwass was a child, or even when he was just born. He also didn't know what Aiwas didn't know.
The various settings and plots that Aiwas knew were also fragmented. He would not feel arrogant or relaxed because of his prophecy. What he was familiar with were things that an ordinary player would often come into contact with - such as path characteristics, professional skills, operating techniques and dungeon processes.
And Aiwass deeply understood one truth: wrong intelligence is worse than no intelligence.
Therefore, he needs the knowledge system of this world system, such as the common knowledge about the Nine Pillars of God and the Church, the geographical knowledge of various regions and modern history.
And most importantly, language - especially written language, is the most important skill in the world.
When Haina was in college, she had to learn three foreign languages: Iris, Star, and Elven. As a priest, Aiwas had to study Elven more carefully... because high-level books on the path of devotion were basically written in Elven.
There is no so-called "universal human language" in this world. Not only do humans speak different languages, but there are also foreign languages - elven, dwarven, centaur... and even dragon language.
The most important and stable way to improve extraordinary abilities in this world is to learn.
But if there is no mentor who is good enough to guide you directly, then you can only read books on your own.
For example, the book "Alchemical Code" was written in the Astral language.
The mystical books of various countries, as well as the tantras translated into the local languages of various countries, are all in different languages. The Wisdom Path is basically a tool in each country. The main income is to translate and decode the original texts that others cannot understand into tantras, and then sell them on the black market. This also means that in each country, there are many tantras in local languages circulating on the black market.
Under the influence of Yulia, Aiwas can understand the Star Antimony Language. Yulia is not a transcendent yet, but her adaptability is the path of balance - she is extremely talented in alchemy, just like Aiwas's talent for ritual studies.
He also knows Chinese, which is almost impossible to learn in Avalon... Even if it is classical Chinese, he can read and understand it normally. This is also one of Aiwass's advantages.
Aiwass knew some Elven language, but he could only understand a little Iris language, and knew nothing about Dwarven language. He also had to learn some ancient Parthian language to understand the skill books related to curse skills that were passed down from the ancient Parthian country.
Otherwise, as a demonologist, it would always feel like something is missing if I couldn't learn how to curse.
In addition to linguistics, as the most advanced supernatural college in Avalon, the Royal Law University has a large collection of books. Although many things are not accessible to students, by building good relationships with the professors, he can also get some access to the professors' private collections.
Through learning, Aiwass can quickly improve his path level.
Although defeating and killing a higher-level transcendent can also gain experience, it is too inefficient and dangerous. And the mysterious skills that are upgraded in this way only have levels, but no real knowledge.
Yes, knowledge.
In the seminary of the Royal Law University, there are three elective courses that are extremely important to Aiwass.
"Curses and Diseases", "Demon's Weaknesses and Countermeasures", "Common Ritual".
Although the core mysterious knowledge of the transcendental path has been carefully removed from the course content, even the surface knowledge is meaningful.
Moreover, when writing a paper, you can also borrow some very valuable books.
Decoding this knowledge and understanding it in reverse can also increase Aiwas's mysterious skills in transcending the path. This is much more efficient than buying various half-true and half-false demonology books.
—Perhaps the books on demonology and rituals that can be bought in Avalon are always a mixture of truth and falsehood, but the knowledge of fighting against demons and rituals is definitely useful.
The reason why Aiwas is so eager to improve himself is not entirely to stop the conspiracy of the Star Antimony Kingdom, nor is it entirely due to the influence of the transcendental path.
Because he doesn't have much time left to develop.
The real world crisis that will destroy everything is not the Xingti Kingdom, but Tiansi. The current crisis is just a preview.
The first angel to descend was the Fallen Angel who descended from the Star Antimony Kingdom in version 3.0.
The name "Fallen Angel" is not only because He has concepts related to sin and fall... but also because in that era when angels could not descend to the human world, He was the first "angel to fall to the human world."
Before the arrival of the celestial beings, this world was basically a world where mortals fought against each other.
The specific time for the arrival of version 3.0 is June, one and a half years later.
The "Rose Cross" Society successfully restored the ancient ritual ring.
This ritual requires the sacrifice of a transcendent who has reached the limit of the corresponding path - that is, a transcendent of the maximum level, and uses his body as a sacrifice to guide the celestial minister. By giving the celestial minister a material body and mortal desires, the celestial minister of the dream world can truly descend.
Descending in the flesh, rather than just being projected into the material world as a celestial minister.
But that method, rather than "inviting him down", was more like "pulling him down".
"Tianshi" is a higher level existence than "Apostle" and is also a kind of phantom demon. Tianshi does not directly obey the Nine Pillars, but serves as a candidate for the Pillar of each path.
When they are forced to descend through the Tail Ring Ritual, they will be restricted by the laws of the material world because they have obtained flesh and blood, and their level will be reduced to the highest level allowed by this path in the material world... Therefore, there is a possibility of being defeated.
The reason why the Heavenly Officials have to descend is because they are guarding the key nodes of the Tao and have taken away a portion of the power of the Tao.
—That is, the “level cap”.
Mortals are always greedy. They hope to gain the power to be superior and change the world.
And once the extraordinary people embark on this path, they cannot tolerate stagnation.
Although the phantom demons will not die, if the descending celestial officials are defeated and resurrected, they will lose their position as celestial officials and become pure phantom demons. The power of the path they possess will be released, and the extraordinary people on this path will be able to move to a higher position and have more possibilities for "professional" advancement.
Those who defeat the Celestial Master can obtain the most Celestial Master essence, and thus gain more power in the Tail Ring Ceremony.
However, the "Rosicrucian" Society still underestimated the power of the Fallen Angels - even though their energy levels were balanced to the limit of the material world, the luxurious lineup consisting of four level 50 "devil incarnations" still failed to defeat the Fallen Angels, and were instead killed by them.
The personality of the Fallen Angel who descended into the world is a fusion of the spirit base as a sacrifice and the Fallen Angel himself. The latter is absolutely dominant, but the former provides the foundation.
Before demonologists understood the taboo of "Heavenly Evil", they could only advance to demon incarnations at level 40.
They have become demons, and their personalities are violent and cruel, even to the point where they themselves cannot control them.
Everyone knows that on the Path of Transcendence there can be no willing sacrifice for experimentation—the sacrifice is a colleague who was betrayed in their internal struggle.
After merging with the Fallen Angel, he killed the entire Rosicrucian Society and the entire Star Antimony Royal Family, usurped the throne with pure violence, and slaughtered people at will in the Star Antimony Kingdom. Under the influence of the Fallen Angel, who was unable to complete the ritual and return to the dream world and was full of hatred for the material world, he started a war of mutual destruction without any reason.
—A war against the whole world.
It was not until the Fallen Angels were defeated by a team led by a "player" that the level cap of the Path of Transcendence was opened for the first time.
Pandora's box was opened, and the world fell into chaos from then on.
This is the end of the main storyline of 3.0.
But Aiwass did not forget... There are no "players" in this world.
If he did nothing, the Fallen Angels would flatten the world. That is to say, before that, he had to change his job to the Great Sin Scholar, raise his level to the maximum level of 50, and complete the fifth advancement ceremony of the Path of Transcendence.
Without reaching the sixth energy level, even if Aiwass had mastered the advancement of the heroic profession of Scholar of Sin in advance, he would not be able to defeat the Fallen Angels.
In other words, he only has one and a half to two years.
If it were really like the original plot, after the fall of Avalon, he wandered between countries - when the Fallen Angels came, he was still a rookie demonologist who had just reached level 30.
Who can Aiwass count on then
You know, when Aiwass escaped from Avalon with the player half a year later, he was already over level 20. But when he was rescued by the player, he was only level 3.
From the time Aiwass went to school with the player until the incident at Avalon, there were only eight months in total!
In eight months, he completed two advancements... and then it took a full ten months to only upgrade five levels, barely completing one advancement. This is the difference between having sufficient resources or not.
…But there’s just one problem.
That is the school where his adoptive father, Professor Moriarty, lives.
Moreover, he is the teacher of advanced mathematics... Advanced mathematics is a required course.
This made Aiwass feel a little weird.
Although he knew that Professor Moriarty would become a world-class boss in the future, the feelings accumulated in his heart over the years of nurturing were real. Even if he awakened his past life memories, he could not ignore the influence of this life's memories.
But half a day later, Aiwas learned a piece of news that cheered him up from Oswald, who had just returned home after lunch:
"Did father go to the Church?"
Although it only delays the time and does not solve the problem... it is always better to slow down a bit and not face this troublesome problem immediately.
This way Aiwass can also breathe a sigh of relief.
"Yes," the old butler replied, "it may take a long time for him to come back. From tonight, Master Edward will come back to live. You can go to him if you have any questions.
"Also, the Silver and Tin Palace invites you to a private banquet tonight. I don't recommend you to refuse. But for some reason, this banquet is not suitable for me to accompany. Do you have any designated guests?"
The royal family is looking for me
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
His first thought was, would Her Royal Highness the Princess open the box herself right away
But he soon realized that it was probably because of the incident in the newspaper. So he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then... Brother, can I?"
"I'm afraid Master Edward doesn't have time."
Oswald replied, "He has gone out with Mr. Sherlock for some business, and may not be back in time for the dinner. But if he comes back, I will ask him to pick you up. After all, it is not very safe at night recently."
Aiwass said casually, "Then let's go with Lily. You don't need to worry about your safety when you visit the Temple of Silver and Tin."
