Chapter 218 The inheritance of wolf transformation
Aiwass waved his hand in front of Lily's face, breaking her gaze.
At this moment, Lily suddenly woke up: "Huh...? What happened to me?"
"No."
Mycroft said considerately, "She was just in a daze for a while. I guess Miss Lily is too busy with work and doesn't have enough time to rest."
The implication is that he saw nothing.
Aiwass also walked down the stairs he had given him. "Indeed, I won't be going out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Why not give you two days off to rest?"
And Aiwass was certain of one fact in his heart - Lily had the adaptability to the path of love.
This book isn't even a tantra, but Lily was completely drawn to the cover.
This shows that Lily's Path of Love is quite adaptable.
...Strange, when did the change happen?
When Aiwass had allowed her to choose a tantra, she had chosen the Spider Silk Tantra. This at least showed that at that time, she was most adaptable to the path.
An answer popped up in Aiwas' mind.
——It should have started from the day Minister Droste died.
From that day on, Lily's temperament changed significantly.
The most obvious thing is that her previous soft nature, which would rather suffer injustice than argue with others, has disappeared - as her inferiority complex gradually turned into self-confidence, Lily has become obviously calm and composed.
In the past, whenever she encountered trouble or a decision, she would subconsciously seek Aiwass's help. Because she was hesitant to make decisions, always worried about causing problems herself, she always left the decision to Aiwass. But in recent days, her frequency of seeking Aiwass's help has become significantly less.
At the time, Aiwass had thought she had simply matured, gained confidence, achieved revenge, and washed away her pain and confusion. But now it seemed that her path had deviated from that moment on.
However, when she was in public, she still pretended to be as inconspicuous as before... This showed that her adaptability to the Tao had not been damaged. It was just a new Tao, so for now, let her be.
Lily wasn't Aiwass, who could gain levels by consuming experience. If she wanted to keep up with Aleister's advancement ritual, she couldn't spread her energy too much across multiple jobs.
Take Sherlock for example... When he was improving his career level in the path of wisdom, his level in the path of authority naturally stagnated.
Despite this, some daily rituals can still slowly increase experience. For example, the "prayer" of the Dedication Path must be performed on time every day; and the "demon contract" of the Transcendent Path—as long as the contracted demon is higher in level than the individual, it will also slowly increase experience. This is because these constraints are internal to the Path.
A priest cannot help but pray. If a demonologist plays badly for a long time and does not become stronger, he will be liquidated by his own demons.
If Lily focused on the Adaptability Path and worked part-time on the Love Path, it shouldn't be a big problem. It would just be a matter of completing some of the Love Path's "Daily Tasks."
It's just here, and it's no problem to raise the energy level one or two.
Aiwass picked up the book "The Poisoned Apple of the Three Goddesses" and flipped through it for a while.
Although it is filled with detailed illustrations that will make you blush...but if Aiwass is not mistaken, this book should be a job change book for "Witch".
The Witch is one of the most common professions on the Path of Love. Its power comes from the Moon Goddess, Evergard, who possesses the three phases of "maiden," "woman," and "crone." The profession's founder is Evergard's apostle, Medea, whose name is also hidden within this book.
As long as you master the three mysterious skills of "potions", "spells" and "transfiguration", you can become a witch.
This book even records the extremely rare inheritance of the "wolf transformation technique".
It specifically mentioned that lycanthropy was the most feared ability of a witch, even more terrifying than those potions with ridiculous effects.
To learn lycanthropy, one must be proficient in both spells and transfiguration. In other words, these two mystical skills must be at least level 10, or the third level, before they can be used.
After learning lycanthropy, one can use human flesh as a medium to impose the Path of Love's adaptability on someone who consumes the cursed flesh, thereby inflicting the curse of lycanthropy.
Unlike ordinary transfiguration, lycanthropy is difficult to break free of or resist through sheer willpower. Even those of similar strength will be cursed by the mere act of consuming a single bite of human flesh.
Under the curse of lycanthropy, the cursed will be transformed directly into a wolf. If the cursed person wanders as a wolf for nine years without eating human flesh, they can return to human form, just as if they had spent nine years in human form, and become a powerful "werewolf" - transforming into a beast every full moon, and at other times, they can transform into a powerful half-human, half-wolf monster at will.
By default, werewolves have a Path of Love professional level above the third energy level... In other words, even an ordinary person can become a third-level extraordinary person after undergoing the test of wolf transformation.
Even the child born from a werewolf and a werewolf will not turn into a normal human being. All the "werewolfs" in this world have been transformed one by one by witches.
But whether it is a cursed person in the transformation period or a werewolf under the full moon, as long as they eat a piece of human flesh while in wolf form, they will remain in wolf form for another nine years from then on. If they die of old age or are killed in wolf form, their human form will die with them.
Once a person is affected by the wolf transformation spell, another equally powerful witch must be present to prepare the antidote to break it.
The book specifically mentions that every spell a witch casts and every potion she mixes has an antidote, a fundamental principle of the Path of Love. The witch who creates the antidote must be at least as powerful as the witch who cast the spell or poison, and may even be more powerful.
...Hmm.
So, it seems like it wouldn't be a bad idea to let Lily become a witch?
After reading about half of the book, Aiwas's thoughts changed slightly.
——At least it should be no problem to let Lily advance once or twice.
Thinking about it carefully, witches are indeed quite annoying. Besides being able to mix love potions, they also have potions that can paralyze or petrify people, turn people into lambs, toads, or wolves... and can transfer their own injuries and poisons to others.
In the game, if you die once, the negative status will be washed away. But in reality, it is not that simple.
To fight against a witch's power, it's best to have the help of another witch...
If Lily changes her job to become a witch, then if you are accidentally cursed, poisoned, or maliciously deformed, you can also ask Lily to help you prepare the antidote.
But, speaking of it...
It seemed that he and Lily did know a werewolf.
It was Mr. Dark Cloud whom I had met during the advancement ceremony. He was the werewolf of Iris.
Regardless of a werewolf's previous occupation, after becoming a werewolf, he or she will have the adaptability to the path of love.
Then after their death, their bodies can be transformed into companions by the Children of the Moon.
Although the Moon Child possessed all of his memories from his previous life, he clearly wasn't a resurrection of the living. Transformation into the Moon Child required a full eighty-day ritual... whereas within a week of death, the souls of ordinary people were either distributed by the Nine Pillars or returned to the origin of the world.
The Son of the Moon certainly wants to increase his companions, but this behavior seems quite disgusting to other extraordinary people on the path of love.
Unless one is a fanatical worshiper of the Moon Child, no one wants his body to be desecrated or his social relationships, memories and experiences in life to be stolen by a blood-sucking beast.
Since Mr. Dark Cloud became a werewolf, it means that he had offended a powerful witch.
He offended the witch and the Moon Child. I'm afraid Hawkeye doesn't have a good relationship with him either.
Mr. Wuyun, who knows so many secrets, is truly a talent...
But that's a good thing for Aiwass.
——From him, perhaps I could get a clue as to how Lily could become stronger. This was true for both adaptation and love.
He said a while ago that he would come to Avalon, but I don't know when he will arrive...
Aiwass thought so and closed the book he had hastily flipped through.
At the same time, a prompt appeared before his eyes:
[You got the inspiration for "Potionology" from "The Poisoned Apple of the Three Goddesses". Do you want to pay 21 public experience points to master this mysterious art?]
[You got the inspiration for the "spell" from "The Poisoned Apple of the Three Goddesses". Do you want to pay 44 public experience to master this mysterious skill?]
No. No.
Aiwass clicked "Reject" without hesitation.
He didn't want to become a "witch" - not to mention that the third path would slow down the efficiency of experience acquisition, and the fact that a witch only needed one person around him was enough. Moreover, a witch couldn't remove the curse she had suffered.
Besides, he's a man. Who knows what strange career he'll become after learning the witch's mysterious skills.
"It's for you."
Aiwass thought about this and handed the book to Lily with a smile: "These things are all given to you. Including this bottle of potion, this glove... I'll take this letter. Maybe Master Janice will be interested in it."
Regardless of the fact that Mycroft was right beside him, he said meaningfully, "But, Lily... just remember not to delay your work."
"I understand."
The moment Lily took the book, she felt as if a string in her heart was slightly plucked.
Even though she hadn't read the book yet, Lily felt an inexplicable sense of resonance - she would definitely be able to learn all the knowledge in the book.
It seems... not just an ordinary occult book.
It is also alive.
