Chapter 949: The Moon Child's New Occupation

According to the Lord of Scales and Feathers... the new Mist Sky Commander has one biggest advantage, which is that Ah Huan is unlikely to dare to attack her.

Because the Wu Tiansi and Yan Tiansi, who were on the same path, formed a subtle trend of mutual protection.

The Tail Ring ritual requires a "circular" process. That is, once a celestial being from the Path of Love is pulled down, the other celestial beings from the Path of Love are safe until the end of this cycle.

So if one of them is pulled down, the other Tiansi can target Huan Tiansi freely until the end of this cycle... and Huan Tiansi will not be able to pull him directly into the material world through the Tail Ring Ritual.

Although Huan Tiansi may not be afraid that they will target him...but the less trouble the better.

Ah Huan had lost his edge, and the strategies he chose were always the safest and most conservative. Therefore, when it became clear that something was going to be troublesome, he would choose to bypass it - thus choosing his target from either the Shadow Sky Division or the Blood Sky Division.

Unlike the birth of Yan Tiansi... the birth of Yan Tiansi has little impact on humans, but has a greater impact on dragons; however, the birth of Wu Tiansi will completely change the situation of the entire human society.

Because of the birth of Wu Tiansi, the Son of the Moon now has a "legitimate profession on the side of kindness".

The number of professions that a Moon Child could normally hold was limited. After becoming a Moon Child, their desires for other paths would decline, causing their extraordinary powers in other paths to decline and their career levels to drop.

While they still possess the corresponding skills, their extraordinary powers are diminished—meaning they possess only the techniques, but lack the foundation. For example, the Moon Children of the Black Eagle Principality, who were born hunters or assassins, possess inherent power, just like griffins, sea monsters, and dragons. As their race levels rise, they can also utilize the skills of their former hunters, assassins, and even warriors.

This is probably the reason why there are so many high-level Sons of the Moon who can fight in the Black Hawk Principality.

"Adapting to your new body" is also a test of "adaptation".

By the time they were able to use the Moon Child's body to perform the art of adaptation, their own adaptability would have been almost restored.

After all, it is the path of "stealing scales and feathers", and changing a body is not considered rebellion for the adaptor - not to mention that the core purpose of changing the body is to prolong life and for "survival".

Even within the Path of Love, there are only a few professions that the Moon Child can inherit. That is, they must follow the inheritance of the Blood Sky Master and advance from Blood Mage to Blood Lord.

If you have the level of dedication and worship Hengwo, you can also change your job to become a Moonlight Scholar with healing abilities.

But the Moon Children had no choice—they either worshipped the Blood Lord or the Feast Master. Sister Sasha was powerless, and I ignored them completely. Therefore, the path of the Moonlight Scholar was essentially impossible. The "true path" could only be the Blood Lord. There was no other choice.

The two paths available to them are either selfish hedonism or brutality and bloodlust. Under these circumstances, how can the Moon Children be persuaded to emulate good? To do so would be tantamount to voluntarily forsaking the gods' protection, denying them the power best suited to their needs, preventing them from integrating into any combat-ready Moon Children group, and ultimately ostracizing and persecuting them both by other Moon Children and vampire hunters.

This is like asking the poor, who are struggling to even survive, to completely obey the law. Forcing someone to have morals that are inconsistent with their living environment when there are no conditions is obviously unreasonable.

——But from now on, things are different!

Sister Sasha was originally the orthodox faith of the Moon Children during the Herasil Empire. Now that Herasil is revived, it is natural to revive the faith of Sasha as well.

Because at that time, the Moon Children had not yet faced such significant external pressure, nor had they dispersed widely, and their core desire was not to gain greater power. At that time, the Moon Children's secret faith was Sister Sasha... Because they were "unfavored by the gods"—because they could not ascend to the realm of the gods after death—they would rebel and choose to worship "targets other than the gods."

Back then, the Moonchildren still had their own pride. But after experiencing a life-or-death crisis during the Rift War, that pride disappeared—strength was the most important thing.

And now with Wu Tiansi, the Son of the Moon has the possibility of "turning to good"!

It was no longer a blood-sucking monster, but a misty shadow under the moon...

Aiwass made up his mind, dug out a bottle of red wine, poured it into a transparent crystal bowl, and set up a simple altar.

"I respectfully invite the Heavenly Feast Master," he murmured softly, "the Heavenly Feast Master of Eternal Feast, the Heavenly Feast Master of Gluttony..."

The first half of Yan Tiansi's prayer is the same as Xue Tiansi's, but the second half is different.

As ripples appeared in the wine bowl in front of Aiwas, he quickly established a connection with Yan Tiansi.

The whole process doesn't even take half a minute.

【Oh, I remember you! 】

It was a bold and curious voice.

Yan Tiansi laughed loudly, and in the background there was the sound of clinking glasses and people's laughter:

"I have to thank you so much, Aiwass! Come drink with me sometime! Even if you're not dead, you can still dream of coming up here sometime. We'll send a dragon car to pick you up!"

"I'll go if I have time."

Aiwass declined politely and asked, "I'd like to know the name of the newly promoted Wu Tiansi..."

[You looking for her? She's here too! Why don't you come over and talk to her directly? Come on, let's talk!]

Yan Tiansi tried his best to invite Aiwass to be his guest.

But Aiwass knew that when Yan Tiansi was still the banquet master, his eternal banquets were famous for their grand scale. It was unknown how long it would take to attend one... He might just go there for a meal, but by the time he returned to the human world, years would have passed.

So Aiwas declined again, and after a long struggle, he finally got Wu Tiansi's contact information.

Aiwass ended his prayers, drank the wine in the bowl, and then poured new wine.

"I respectfully invite the Heavenly Master of Mist, the Heavenly Master without eyes and words, the Heavenly Master without sun and moon..."

As Aiwass's prayer fell, his connection with Wu Tiansi was instantly established.

Perhaps it was because Wu Tiansi already knew that Aiwas was looking for her, or perhaps it was because she had not yet announced her prayer.

The bowl of wine in front of Aiwass instantly evaporated, entwining with the surrounding white mist, forming a vague outline.

At that moment, Aiwass felt a warm feeling coming from his waist.

That's the heat radiating from Sister Sasha's skin!

The mist condensed into a vague human figure in front of him.

This was different from the appearance of Sister Sasha that Aiwas had seen before.

The Sister Sasha that Aiwas had seen before was wearing a black silk eye mask, black silk gloves, and a heavy nun's uniform.

But now, the "Mist Master" is wearing a white silk robe that reminds people of a pure white saint - but according to Aiwass's theological knowledge, this robe should represent the "moon".

It was a long robe, like a nightgown. It had no decorations, like a thin sheet of cloth draped over it. The lost feet and arms had returned.

Her long hair also completely changed color...becoming a gradient of grayish white and dark blue, like the junction of the night fog and the night sky.

But her face was hidden in the mist, and only her lips and high nose bridge could be seen. It looked as if the upper half of her face was missing.

She floated down gently like mist and hugged Aiwass.

But this time, Aiwass did not feel that warm and soft feeling.

Aiwass only felt a chill and dampness as if he was embraced by a winter evening breeze; even his clothes were faintly filled with moisture.

In a moment of distraction, the woman in white robe disappeared.

Of course, it couldn't be the Celestial Official descending to the world—the Apostles could appear in the material world, but the Celestial Official definitely couldn't.

It was just Wu Tiansi controlling the surrounding fog to become his current appearance and greeting Aiwass.

What's up?

A gentle voice sounded in Aiwass's mind.

It was completely different from the host's bold voice.

Wu Tiansi's voice was as if he was afraid of waking people from their dreams. It was so gentle that it was like a mother telling a story to her child, patient and gentle.

"I want to know... what new career you have prepared for Moon Child."

Aiwass asked seriously, "I want to give Moon Child a new way out."

[You are a good child... I thank you on their behalf...]

"The Moon Child's path is a dead end. I will ascend to the position of Celestial Master simply to offer them a new possibility..."

Wu Tiansi murmured softly, his tone gentle and humble.

"However, I have only just taken up the position of Celestial Minister, and am still preparing for my new career... But if His Holiness the Pope would like to see it... I can also offer some advice..."

As he said this, new information entered Aiwass's mind.

——That feeling is like being injected with new power by the system.

...I'm not the Pope at all! Why do they all think I am the Pope...

Just as Aiwas was about to complain, he suddenly got information about a new profession:

"Basic class, Trickster... Is it possible to upgrade to a new class by changing from Trickster?

"A good-hearted Trickster who passes the trial of [Lies and Jokes] can advance to the fourth level and become a Mist Walker..."

...Just an advanced profession?

But Aiwass thought about it and felt that it was okay.

Don't aim too high, take them one at a time.

Didn’t the Blood Sky Division only prepare the Blood Lord profession?

"Mist Walkers can disappear into the fog at will. This ability is considered a form of 'stealth.' While in the fog, they can freely travel above any body of water within their field of vision—as long as the volume of mist created by the evaporating water is larger than their own... Is this used to complement the Mist Demon's atomization ability?

"The ability to create multiple silent clones... Oh, this power looks familiar to me. The clones can't cast spells, but they can move freely and lose duration when attacked. The clones must be in a place with plenty of moisture, otherwise the duration will be lost. Does that mean they can last a long time in a humid place? That's a lot of clones... But they don't break when attacked, which is good.

"You can create illusions within the fog, manipulate your five senses... or use the fog to transform the imaginations and illusions of others or yourself into fragile realities. Truly an advanced class for the Trickster."

Aiwass praised, "Not bad, quite a test of imagination. But this doesn't have much to do with the Path of Love, does it? It does have a sense of adapting to the Path... and this profession is very powerful. I'm afraid you'll have to allocate a lot of energy to make it work."

The profession of Trickster was originally expected to evolve into the "Scary Clown" in the future, but this new profession now gives those Tricksters the possibility of further advancement.

Many Tricksters on the Path of Love are above the third level. Just like the Lawminder, with no further avenues to advance, they can only maintain this first-level profession and continue their development. Now with the Mist Walker, they have the possibility of changing their profession—which also gives them the possibility of becoming a Mist Demon.

The essence of the Path of Love is desire, while the essence of the Path of the Beast is instinct... In the stage of the Trickster, they honed their cunning bestial instincts and greedy desires; and when they reach the Path of Love, they must manipulate their own and others' desires. I think this makes sense.

Wu Tiansi murmured softly.

[And the essence of the mist they created... is actually their own souls. Using their souls to create—creating mist, creating illusions, turning fantasy into reality—is also in line with the principles of the source river.]

"As for my own strength... that doesn't matter. As long as the children are doing well, I can dedicate all my strength to them."

"...Then I don't have any objections. But I think it makes sense. This profession should be feasible."

Aiwass nodded in confirmation.

[Well, if His Holiness has some free time, he can also teach other fraudsters the principles of advancement. The core principle is to consider fraud as a magic trick, a joke, a stratagem, and not a scheme to steal people's property or kill them.]

"...You can't kill people with magic? Is that what you mean?" Aiwass confirmed.

"Yes, that's right. It doesn't mean you absolutely can't kill people, but rather you prioritize self-preservation—you can't let your uncontrolled emotions take over. I think if the Moon Children can do this, that's enough."

Wu Tiansi explained.

——Then you might as well just create a new basic profession called "Magician".

Aiwass muttered in his heart, not knowing whether Wu Tiansi heard it.

But he also felt a sense of novelty - after all, this was the first time that Aiwass had truly created a new profession with his own hands.

The Scholar of Sin was a prophesied class that Aiwass had copied, while the Illuminator was a legacy from ancient elves. This new class was the one Aiwass had personally witnessed being developed from scratch!

Even Aiwass was a little impatient - today was the New Moon Ceremony, maybe he could promote a sample first and see.

"Do I know a third-level trickster?"

Aiwass fell into deep thought for a moment.

Then he immediately thought of someone.

——B. Yeats.

But unfortunately, that werewolf has already reached the fifth energy level...

Aiwass shook his head with some regret: "I can't help much here."

You have helped me a lot, thank you.

Wu Tiansi said gently: [Thank you too... for giving my children a chance]

Aiwass just shook his head slightly and did not comment.
