Chapter 1057 Sarastro and the Fool's Song Tantra
It's not that Aiwass wants to show off by praying in this way.
But this mechanism has a special mechanism——
——Stage rules.
Because the Count of Orleans never really tamed the Swan King's will.
The Empty Box has a subconscious judgment, that is, all "beautiful" skills - such as dazzling special effects and fancy stunts, will more easily get good judgment results.
This place is considered a stage!
——In other words, within the influence range of the Empty Chest, fashion can be used as a special priority bonus!
The bats tried hard to fly, but suddenly a layer of white mist appeared in front of them.
Bats should have been able to fly without fear of fog, but the white mist disoriented them, frosting their wings and slowing them down. A bullet arced through the air, shattering each bat into blood-red icy mist, melting into the cold white mist.
"Wake up, Sherlock, Arsene."
Aiwass's voice rang out faintly in the fog: "Don't forget what we are here for."
"—Damn it, my memory has been rewritten again!"
Sherlock was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered.
He didn't know when he suddenly thought he was a guest. The hostility in his heart disappeared, and he was full of goodwill towards the Orleans family. He even wanted to tell them all his investigation and force them to quickly fill in the loopholes.
This is definitely not what Sherlock would do - when his only friend at the time was Edward, and when he realized that old Moriarty might be involved in Lloyd's crimes, he still wanted to continue investigating.
He has always been such a person, truth is more important than friendship.
...But now, he believes that "the Orleans family is greater than the truth", as if he had entered a dream without knowing when, and accepted all the settings naturally.
The feeling of having his mind manipulated at will made him feel sick... Sherlock was extremely angry, which was rare.
Yasen's face was also stiff, with flames of anger dancing in his pupils: "When was it... Oh, thank goodness you're okay... No, how come you're okay?"
"—When they met Master Gaston, or more accurately, when they stepped through the door. They must have set up a defensive dream in the Void Box, such as 'someone who was hostile to the Orleans family suddenly became a friend upon crossing the threshold.'
"If investigators assume the Void Box's defensive features are limited to the forgetfulness defense that "those who know of its existence will periodically forget it" and the death-by-commitment mechanism that "investigating the Orleans family will inevitably lead to the Harlech family," they might let their guard down."
Aiwass's voice sounded leisurely: "As for me...
"Well, just think of it as if I had seen all this in a dream. When I recalled this incident, the rest came back to me."
He was so impressed.
Why is this copy called a pure mechanism copy?
Because all the monsters in this copy have green names throughout the whole process before the real body of the Empty Box is exposed!
——Not only can you not attack, you will even steal the milk in the range!
Only by following the mechanism can you cause mechanical damage to the opponent, and if your positions overlap accidentally, you may spray milk on the boss's face.
According to the method of breaking the two mechanisms of "forgetting" and "death substitution", as long as Aiwass realizes this, the process will be automatically terminated. It's like suddenly realizing that you are dreaming while dreaming.
"...What should we do next?" Sherlock's eyes darkened.
He gripped his cane tightly and took a deep breath of the cold mist that smelled slightly of blood.
It was the first time he had ever been so angry—but even so, he found himself surprisingly calm. The cold fire did not burn his rationality.
"Sing first, Yasin."
Aiwass said suddenly.
"……ah?"
Yasen was dumbfounded: "But I can't..."
"No, you will."
Aiwass interrupted: "Hold your dagger tight, relax your body—let it sing."
"How can this be..."
Yassen was about to say "That's impossible" when his body suddenly moved.
He suddenly uttered a broken tenor in his deep and magnetic voice:
"—Oh, Prince, please accept,
“Our Queen of the Night’s gift to you.
"Even if you encounter the worst disaster,
"This magic flute can protect you too!"
He roared without warning, which even scared Sherlock - Sherlock looked in that direction with wide eyes, but the thick white fog prevented him from seeing anything.
He had heard Isabelle sing this opera before, but at the time, he had only found it pleasant to the ear. And while Arsène possessed the ability to see the path of beauty, he couldn't sing at all... This made him completely unsuitable for opera.
But Yasen suddenly realized that he was shrouded in white fog and no one could see him clearly.
So he suddenly hardened his heart and followed his instincts, singing loudly with all his might:
"This flute will grant you great power—
“It can transform human sorrow.
"It makes those who mourn happy,
"It can make a bachelor fall in love—but then again, I'm not a bachelor."
He even had time to rant half a sentence at a very fast pace.
At this moment, melodious music sounded from the void.
——It was the sound coming from the dagger "Sarastro" slung at Yasen's waist!
It controlled Yasen's body and made him sing an opera that he couldn't sing at all - and the bard's abilities were also stimulated by it!
Suddenly, clear tracks appeared in the thick fog before them.
Every hostile target turned into a red figure one after another - Sherlock even had a feeling that his spells could directly lock onto these people!
——Barding: Pathfinding!
——Bardial: Spell Anchor!
This is the true power of this dagger—
It can spontaneously extract a random buff that is "most suitable for the current situation" from all the skills in "Lulu's Magic Flute", and this ability has no cost except occupying the chant bar.
In other words, aside from the fact that it occupied Yasen's mouth, it didn't affect his ability to use other skills, nor did it consume mana. However, it could trigger the music effect.
And when Aiwass shrouded everyone with a disorienting fog that could erase their sense of direction, without distinguishing between friend and foe, it could only cast those two spells!
The Bard's abilities are randomized within a wide range, depending on the quality of the music. Since he has a conductor orchestra, the random number given by his abilities will only fluctuate within the first third.
The magic bullet flew back to Aiwas and condensed into a blood ball that was ten times larger than the previous one.
Aiwass summoned the Book of Law and said calmly as he examined the card pile: "Go ahead, Sherlock—vent your anger."
Sherlock's eyes darkened and he raised his staff.
A blue rune light band suddenly condensed on his shoulder - it was like the shoulder strap of a priest, except that it was transparent, and only the outline and runes were filled with blue.
The light band spontaneously grew longer rapidly.
And a spell was formed out of thin air in an instant without any chanting, guidance, or runes!
——Lightning Chain!
The crackling electric net instantly gathered at the tip of his staff, and instantly spread to the bodies of all the red figures in his sight, instantly electrocuting them!
It is the "Secret Sutra of Foolish Song"!
At the cost of four times the mana consumption, you can exchange it for unlimited instant spells; at the cost of four times the cooldown consumption, you can exchange it for unlimited silent spells!
Among all spells, only the "lightning" type spells are the fastest.
The lightning spells cast by the Foolish Chant Tantra are so fast that they cannot be countered!
