Chapter 648 Am I About to Die?

"……Well."

Aiwass hesitated to speak.

He stared at the "final payment" given to him by the Lord of Scales and Feathers and fell into silence.

In any situation and in any worldview, unconditional resurrection can be considered a top-notch item.

After all, it's a real second life.

In a real world, who would complain about having too many resurrection armors?

Even if it was Xiong, he would definitely want the resurrection armor that exploded from his body to help him win the resurrection match.

Of course, no matter where else he got this feature, Aiwass would be very happy about it... He dared to try out those plans that he had put on hold because of the danger after he had a second life.

This is just like "you can't play unless you have low health" - in other words, having more health and more life will make cowards braver.

...But the problem is that this thing was given to him by the Lord of Scales and Feathers.

The Lord of Scales and Feathers' main field is prophecy and foresight, and his accuracy is extremely high - in terms of results, it seems that he can even foresee the future of the Pillar God's fall and the development of different world lines.

And such a powerful and mysterious prophet suddenly and quietly handed Aiwass a resurrection armor.

Especially after Aiwas mastered the advanced divine arts, signed a contract with the Lord of Scales and Feathers, and completed the ceremony.

What I mean is that it’s useless even if you ask me to play for you.

An emoji of a crying cat head appeared in Aiwass's mind:

——Am I going to die soon?

"...But to put it in a positive light, this can be considered as the Lord of Scales and Feathers declaring his intention to interfere with the future."

Aiwass comforted himself.

If the Lord of Scales and Feathers was the type who respected the future and chose to sit back and watch, or actively participated in it to allow the future to realize itself, he could have given Aiwass a reward or given Aiwass a subtle hint.

Since he had given Aiwass a set of resurrection armor, it meant that He at least hoped that Aiwass could survive. In other words, since He had only given him one set of resurrection armor, perhaps the crisis wouldn't be too severe. It wouldn't cause Aiwass to face a problem that he couldn't solve even with several lives.

"Your expression... is very subtle."

Sherlock held onto Aiwass's arm and grumbled, "It's like being terrified but trying to convince yourself that everything is alright—like getting off a roller coaster. What on earth did you witness during the ceremony?"

"That's a long story..."

Aiwass shook his head, made a hoarse sound, and took two slow steps with Sherlock's support.

Just like that, he could feel his heart beating violently.

Due to long-term fasting and lack of water, his body is now in an extremely weak state - this is the measure prepared by Aiwass for the intense promotion ceremony.

It is now proven that his caution at that time was indeed right.

If he had not taken the Dream-Intoxicating Tincture and had not used this ritual sacrifice, Iverson would probably have trembled all over and suddenly woke up from his dream the moment he looked directly at the sky.

Seeing Aiwass's pale face, Sherlock thought for a moment, took out a bottle of red potion from the potion hanging on his belt and handed it to Aiwass: "Drink some first."

Aiwass picked up the potion and drank it all in one gulp without asking any questions.

He pursed his lips, licked them dry, and felt the fiery liquid, like sweet wine soaked in dates, flow down his throat. A strong warm breath, accompanied by warm vitality, flowed into his limbs and bones. This made Aiwas's originally pale face suddenly rosy.

"...Vitality potion? When did you buy it?"

Aiwass asked casually.

Even his originally hoarse voice became normal.

"Yulia did it."

Sherlock shrugged, "It's for me, but it's for you."

"Why didn't she give it to me directly?" Aiwass asked subconsciously.

"She said if she gave it to you directly, you might never use it. I wonder what our honorable Lord Moriarty usually saves on."

Sherlock said sarcastically.

Aiwass coughed lightly and said calmly, "That... is indeed the case."

Unless it is necessary and he has developed a habit of using it... Aiwass just doesn't like to use consumables.

When he used to play games, he tended to hoard consumables, no matter which game he played. He couldn't bear to throw them away, and he always felt he might need them in the future if he sold them, but he couldn't remember to use them when he had them in his pocket, or he couldn't bear to use them even if he did remember to.

If one bottle of the same consumable is more effective than the other, he will tend to use up the less effective one first. However, after using up the less effective one, his level will be upgraded and he will get a more effective one. So he will use the less effective one again to use up the less effective one first.

It's like the feeling of an old man eating fruit: when new fruit and rotten fruit are put together, he will always eat the rotten fruit first, and by the time he finishes eating the new fruit, it will also be rotten.

"I'll go check on Lily first."

Feeling his body gradually filled with energy, Aiwass walked outside and said to Sherlock without turning back, "Please help me clean up the ceremony."

"Take this first."

Sherlock's voice sounded from behind, followed by a sound of breaking air.

Without even turning his head, Aiwass reached out and grabbed the thing.

After seeing clearly what was in his hand, Aiwass was slightly stunned.

It was a small makeup mirror.

What does it mean?

——【Can you change for me?】

"in case."

Sherlock's lazy voice sounded: "I remember that you have the ability related to mirrors, and there is no mirror in Miss Lily's room.

"Hurry up and get it done, maybe we can go out for a late-night snack before daybreak. I still want to catch up on some sleep."

"I thought you weren't sleepy."

Aiwass turned his head slightly, a little surprised: "After all, you stay up late every day to study in Avalon."

"It's different from that simple, mechanical research. The secret book is a bit brain-burning. To ensure efficiency and safety, you must ensure that you have sufficient energy to read it. Helping you guard the ceremony has delayed me for an entire night... I can't waste any more time."

Sherlock yawned and said as if he didn't care, "The main thing is... each of you has either finished reading the new tantra or completed the promotion.

"...It makes me feel like if I don't get more nervous, I might not be able to keep up with you guys."

"--really."

Aiwass chuckled and said, "As expected of you."

He had just guessed what Sherlock was thinking.

Shylock was undoubtedly quite proud. Apart from his brother, he had never been subservient to many people in his life.

But Aiwass had now completed the test of high-level divine arts and became the Lord of Scales and Feathers's earthly representative. He was only one step away from becoming a cardinal of the Theocracy.

And how old is Aiwass this year?

He just had his birthday not long ago and is now only nineteen years old.

How old is Sherlock?

His birthday is January 6th, and he is now 28 years old.

If Aiwass's appointment as Minister without Portfolio could be considered good luck... it was inextricably linked to his last name, "Moriarty," and his dream encounter with Princess Isabel. Even when Aiwass reached the Fourth Energy Level, Sherlock didn't react much... After all, he had already reached that level, but he had rejected the possibility of ascending to the Fourth Energy Level through the path of authority.

But Aiwass is now at the fourth level of the dual path and is about to become the first human cardinal of the Theocracy - this is real and unquestionable outstanding talent.

Otherworldly.

Those are real stars.

Sherlock would never be jealous of others... This is also his pride and self-esteem.

After truly recognizing Evans' excellence and acknowledging that Evans was better than himself, Sherlock became serious from the bottom of his heart.

Although he still looked relaxed and casual on the outside, Aiwass felt that the genius's mentality was completely different - he truly put himself in the position of a "learner" and "follower", put aside his pride and started learning again.

"Come on."

Aiwass encouraged and went upstairs playing with the mirror.

Lily was on the second floor, completing her separation ritual of the Egg Moon Tantra.
