Chapter 335 Golden Entry!
——Hey, Twin Mirror, did you do this on purpose?
I have so many handsome pictures this time, why did you take so many screenshots...
Aiwass couldn't help but complain: "This settlement screen is too outrageous..."
It almost looks like I won a New Moon Ritual without any effort...
But he didn't have time to pay more attention, because the settlement results were already out:
[Special Victory "Secret Reflection" Completed]
[Necessary tasks not completed]
[Finding companions: First find all companions (unfinished)]
[Keep Hidden: No one will discover your true identity until the very end (Points: 500)]
[Useless Killing of the Informer: Kill other companions (Points: 400)]
[False Disguise of an Informer: Successfully conceal your identity as an informer from your companions (Points: 500)]
[Successful Plan: Leaving Huyue Manor through the Secret Passage (Points: 1000)]
[Instinct of Betrayal: Sabotage the Prison Escape Plan (Points: 1000)]
[Charming Breath: Successfully adopted (Points: 1000)]
[Master-killing Talent: Kill your master (Points: 2000)]
[The number of survivors is three, and the failure condition of "Twin Victory" is not triggered]
【Total points: 6400, ranked first】
According to convention, the next thing should be for the pillar god to appear and give blessings.
However, the Twin Mirror did not appear. Or rather, He appeared in another way—
The next moment, the entire world in front of Aiwas seemed to have transformed into a mirror.
Images suddenly appeared in the world before his eyes.
The dozen or so hours he had experienced before appeared before his eyes from a third-person perspective, with time rapidly flowing backwards, and the speed of the backward flow was getting faster and faster.
At first, Aiwass could still clearly see the Shadow Demon's expression as he spoke to him, but soon the rest turned into a blur. Even if he concentrated hard, only a few frames of the image could be retained by his consciousness.
Later on, it slowly began to slow down, like a train gradually braking.
——Finally, the entire shot freezes before Aiwas wakes up.
No. 14 was sleeping peacefully in bed, wearing a white nightgown. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically, accompanied by light and soothing breathing, and her lips were slightly parted.
The camera shot the girl's face from top to bottom, and it looked like the camera was lying on the girl and looking down at her sleeping posture.
But at this moment, the girl suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Aiwass outside the camera.
She smiled mischievously and stretched out her hands as if asking for a hug... or just like when Aiwass was lying on the bed and stretched out his hands to the bat in the spider web.
The only difference was that she actually hugged Aiwass.
It was as if Aiwass was right before his eyes, admiring her sleeping face—he could actually feel a pair of slender, soft arms embracing him. He could also feel the girl gently kissing his forehead, the soft, warm touch.
Aihua was startled and subconsciously reached out to push the girl away.
But when he reached out, he touched an invisible mirror. He couldn't touch the girl, and she never hugged him. It was as if everything Aiwass had felt before was an illusion.
The next moment, the mirror in front of him suddenly shattered.
Three heavy buzzing sounds echoed before Aiwas's eyes. In the dim world, the shattered mirror coalesced into three rays of purple light, gleaming and overflowing simultaneously—
[Ever-changing (Purple): When you try to disguise yourself as someone else, you automatically gain the "Illusion Shroud" effect; all illusions you cast will be harder to detect.]
[Mind-stealing Whisper (Purple): Your charm, illusion, and command spells with language components have a priority of +1]
…
Aiwass didn't even have time to read the content of the entry.
His mind was completely shocked by the scene just now.
Is this... a twin mirror?
It was then that Aiwass suddenly realized that all this had been just a reflection in the mirror from the very beginning.
...But what about the real touch that I felt?
But when I touched it, it was just like a mirror...
Which side is true and which side is false?
Just as Aiwass was in a daze, a strange vision suddenly appeared before his eyes:
Among the three purple lights, the one that had not yet turned over suddenly began to vibrate violently.
It made a fierce clanging sound, as if something was about to burst out from it.
The next moment, the purple light suddenly shattered.
An even more brilliant golden light blooms from it!
[Grace of the Pillar God——]
[Twin Mirror has promoted an entry for you]
[Illusory Blood - Moonchild (Gold): You can now switch your race to Moonchild through a ritual. This is an undetectable disguise.]
"—This is exactly what you wanted."
A whispered word rang in Aiwass's ears.
It is as ethereal as the wind and as gentle as water, yet it seems like an illusion that has never appeared.
"This is--!"
Ai Hua's eyes suddenly widened.
It's not that he didn't recognize the term - on the contrary, he was very familiar with it.
But this is not an entry that can be obtained by professions that transcend the Tao.
In other words, all three terms should come from the path of beauty.
It's outrageous.
It really is sponsored by Twin Mirror...
The "Protean Change" entry is actually more useful than the first one. Its effect is to make the illusion take the higher of the two rolls on a saving throw, giving it advantage on the saved throw. While the first one seems more incidental in the game... in reality, it's the first one that's more useful.
The specific effect is just like Kaito Kidd - just by leaving the battle and not being noticed by others, he can quickly switch his appearance.
This is indeed a useful ability, but Aiwass has no illusion ability at all.
"Heartfelt Whisper" is even more straightforward—the spells of the Path of Love, the Path of Beauty, and the Path of Authority all have a priority increase of one for all spells with a verbal component. It can be said that the shorter the entry, the more valuable it is.
But the problem remains the same.
If this was a transcendent from the Path of Beauty, they would definitely be worried about which of the two to choose. However, if it was a transcendent with three specializations, their combat power would immediately experience a qualitative leap after obtaining this entry.
But Aiwass doesn't have to worry.
——Because he doesn’t know how to use illusion!
He knows neither illusion nor charm, and currently has no interest in working part-time as a law mage - in other words, Aiwass cannot benefit from any of these three effects.
There was no way he could choose.
And there is no way he could choose these two purples.
Because this time there was actually gold——
——You don’t fight when there’s a frame? You don’t choose when there’s gold?
Logically speaking, it is unlikely to get any money from the second to third level. At least it is possible to get money from the third to fourth level.
While it's theoretically possible to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, it's just theoretical. The probability of getting a high-rated skill in New Moon Ritual is higher than in Full Moon Ritual, but at best, you can get a purple skill with a lower score.
For example, Lily.
Lily was on the Adaptation Path, and her missions were definitely related to adaptation, assassination, and concealing her identity. However, due to time constraints, she didn't complete all of her missions, so her points couldn't be very high.
But even so, she would most likely get two or more purples, or even three.
This is the drop rate of Crescent Moon Ritual.
While the chance of getting a drop may seem only twice as high as Full Moon Ritual, it's more than double if you can complete the game. Because New Moon Ritual has almost no puzzles or exploration elements, it makes the quests relatively easy to complete. It's also easy to complete many quests while completing the game.
However, if you want to withdraw money, a special situation is required.
Just like in the card drawing game, there is a situation where "the card is SR when it is drawn, but becomes SSR after an animation gold plating" - triggering this gold plating probability is the only possibility of obtaining a gold entry.
——That is, "the grace of the Pillar God."
Normally, there would be no Pillar Gods watching the promotion ceremony for a low level, but this was not inevitable.
If the Pillar God approves of a person who has been promoted, as long as he successfully passes the level, even if the points are not the highest, the Pillar God will immediately upgrade one of the entries to the next level.
Blue rose to purple, purple to gold. This part of the power was provided by the Pillar God himself, and it could be considered a blessing - just like the mark bestowed upon Aiwass by the Silver Crown Dragon.
The entries obtained through the "Grace of the Pillar God" must be entries of the path to which the Pillar God who promoted the entry belongs.
For example, the entry obtained by Aiwass belongs to the special entry of the path of beauty.
This "impenetrable disguise" is a real illusion.
Its effect is very simple.
This is equivalent to acquiring the racial characteristics, racial abilities, and innate spells of the corresponding race. This disguise cannot be dispelled or detected, and even the use of law spells to identify it cannot reveal the true identity.
This "mirror disguise" will not be broken until it suffers damage exceeding half of its maximum health or suffers a blunt force blow.
This includes the Moon Child's ability to transform into a bat, as well as the talent of "charm".
In addition, the Son of the Moon has a characteristic that is indeed what Aiwass needs most at the moment.
That is, the mana pool of the Son of the Moon will be forcibly changed to wind, earth, and dark - and the amount of this mana pool is the sum of Aiwass's existing mana pool.
In other words, if Aiwass switches to the Son of the Moon form, it is equivalent to adding up all his existing mana pools and dividing them into three equal parts - he can then obtain the corresponding mana pools of wind and earth attributes!
I woke up late, at half past eleven—
Don’t worry, there will still be three updates today, but it may be a little late!
