Chapter 139 Characteristics of the Path Chosen by Lily

After Aiwass selected the entry, the other two options fell apart.

He felt that his body had become light and airy... Looking down, his body turned into a gray empty shell, intertwined with the shadow demon, and then condensed and appeared again.

The power from Shadow Demon continued to flow into his body along the contract. The flow that was originally like a faucet has now turned into a roaring drain pipe, and the mana pool in his body has finally been expanded to accommodate the extra dark attribute mana!

When Aiwass woke up from his dream, the sun had not risen yet and it was still dark outside.

The robe he was wearing, smeared with chicken blood, had dried and gave off a faint unpleasant smell. Lily hasn't woken up yet and should still be choosing her own entries.

His property panel also changes accordingly:

Demonologist LV10: [Demonology - Level 2 (97%)], [Basic Ritual - Level 2 (0%)], [Demon Contract - Level 4 (0%)], [Pastoraling (Essence) - Level 2 ( 0%)】

Mana pool: 27/27 (Light), 24/24 (Dark), 47/47 (Fire)

Road characteristics——

Transcendence - Shadow Incarnation (Balance): You are the vessel and the avatar. The shadow is no longer your enemy. Your Shadow Affinity and Dark Vessel levels increase by one.

Transcendence - Shadow Affinity LV2: You sign a life contract with the Shadow Demon and can use the second level of shadow abilities at will.

Transcendence - Dark Vessel LV1: When you come into contact with the Feather of the Snake Father, the maximum capacity of your mana pool (dark) increases by 14.

——It’s done.

Aiwass now has a level 15 priest and a level 10 demonologist, and his experience is basically useless.

In other words, he can advance twice more next month!

And this time Aiwass finally confirmed one thing, that is, entries can indeed be controlled by behavior!

"But how can I obtain the container entries for the three attributes of wind, earth, and water?"

Aiwass fell into thought.

He shook his head and decided not to think about this kind of thing until later.

Aiwass changed his clothes and then began to clean up the traces of the ritual.

He waited for another ten minutes before Lily, who was sleeping on the sofa, suddenly made a sound of unknown meaning like talking in her sleep, hummed, and then slowly woke up.

Aiwass, who was finishing up the ceremony, raised his head and saw Lily silently widening her clear gray eyes and looking at him.

After this ceremony, their relationship became much closer.

If it had been before, she would have gotten up in panic as soon as she woke up and started working for Aiwass. Outside of work, she almost never chats or talks with Aiwass.

She just habitually keeps a distance from the master she serves - this is the reserve and professional ethics of being a personal maid. Do not express opinions unless required by the owner.

She always likes to remain silent, but that's not because she doesn't like to talk. In fact, she could even have a long and happy chat with Princess Isabel... provided Aiwass wasn't nearby.

Because Lily knows that she has a humble status and is dependent on others, in order to protect herself, she always stays away from others. It was no good thing for her to know too much. So she always pretends that she can't see or hear, and it's best not to be seen by anyone.

But now, when Lily looked at Aiwass, she only felt a kind of tranquility.

It is not a choice of silence based on the principle of "being cautious in what you say and do."

But not wanting to think about anything, a quiet and warm sense of security.

Just like when I was very young, I would sometimes be held in the arms of my mother who rarely calmed down.

Lily would then feel this sense of peace.

Lily's mother has a bad temper, or is a bit neurotic. Most of the time she is very irritable and unreasonable, but occasionally she calms down and becomes very gentle.

But Lily didn't hate her. Because her mother was not like other peers who decided to let her daughter follow the same fate as herself - her mother's only wish was for Lily to study well and ultimately change her destiny. For this reason alone, she had no hatred for her mother.

Lily knew she had no way out, so she studied very hard. Until middle school, her grades were among the best.

Until Lily was thirteen years old. Because Lily was beautiful, quiet and dignified, many classmates wanted to pursue her at that time.

This is actually a direction that changes destiny.

As long as she can find a suitable husband, she can get rid of the constraints brought by her origin.

But Lily, who was born in Lloyd's District, was sensible early and had a wide range of experiences. She knew that this possibility was not high.

The greater possibility is that she was toyed with and then abandoned at will, which wasted her youth and time in vain. Therefore, Lily did not take any chances and concentrated on her studies. So she rejected the pursuit of these people.

But Lily didn't know that asking for something but not getting it would arouse people's interest. So the boys who pursued her began to investigate her origins, preferences, and interests... As a result, they accidentally discovered her mother's occupation, and also learned that Lily was an unmarried girl and her surname was her mother's surname.

I don't know who the news came from, but it spread throughout the school in an instant. Lily's suitors immediately turned away from her, and even more annoying flies came around. Rumors spread all of a sudden, and Lily could no longer calm down to study, so she had no choice but to go home and hide in the attic to study.

Lily's mother thought that this would only lead her astray, and her family could not provide a learning environment. And there was no teacher who could teach her, so she went to Lily's biological father... hoping that he could provide Lily with resources worthy of her Droste family and give her a surname.

It was not until then that Lily knew that she had the noble blood of the founding family flowing in her body.

But at that time, she didn't know why she was born. She still imagined that she was the crystallization of a love that transcended taboos, and she also thought about all kinds of love stories full of girlish hearts.

This was not an unfounded guess.

Because when she first met the Minister Droste, he was very friendly.

He even had a serious and long talk with Lily, carefully asking about her grades, hobbies, interpersonal relationships, and future ideals. He also explained to her very equally and humorously his current situation, the various rules of the knight family, what illegitimate children meant, and the reason why he couldn't give Lily a surname, and apologized to her.

Lily accepted this result.

She learned from Minister Drost that if her family background was not good, she would not be allowed to go to university even if she had good grades. She was the unmarried child of a prostitute, an unregistered Lloyd's District resident who had not registered her identity since birth, and an illegitimate child of a knight family. This basically meant that she was the offspring of a serious criminal.

Neither the army, the court, nor the Supervisory Bureau would recruit her. The best job she could find was to be a tutor.

So Lily followed Minister Drost's arrangement and was sent to the Moriarty family, which was also a Founder family. As a personal maid, she took care of their newly adopted young master Aiwass.

As a personal maid of the Founder family, Lily's status was actually higher than that of most tutors - because in most cases, personal maids began to take care of direct heirs at a very young age, and the age difference would not be too large. If they were of the opposite sex, they usually had intimate relationships and were the most intimate peers in adolescence.

In a sense, the personal maids are the absolutely loyal lovers, besties and accomplices of these future big men.

They are different from other working maids. They don't wear maid clothes, but old clothes changed by the mistress, or clothes given to them by the male master. Except that they can't wear jewels in principle, their clothes are no different from those of the eldest lady of the capital.

And because the master usually accompanies them when they travel, they don't eat servant meals, but the leftovers of the masters, and often eat at the same table with the master outside of formal banquets.

They also have their own independent rooms, unlike other servants who live in dormitories. Personal maids are usually not fired, and usually accompany their masters until they die.

And the salary of personal maids is second only to that of housekeepers, and they have paid vacations every year to visit relatives.

Even for girls of common origin, this is a good job that is hard to come by.

Not to mention that Lily was born in a humble family... So at that time, Lily felt helpless and sad that she could no longer study. But she also knew that she had stood at the end that many people could hardly reach after reading books. And she was safe and respected in the Moriarty family, so she was very grateful for Drost's arrangement.

The only thing that made Lily sad was that her mother died soon after she settled down.

It was not until this ceremony that she understood the secret behind all this.

Her mother was murdered by the killer hired by her father.

And perhaps it was because her current master Aiwas was involved in the death of the secretary, and Minister Drost was angry; or because Drost knew that Moriarty was dead, he became bolder... Even just because Lily went to school against his will, he felt offended.

He even wanted to hire a killer to assassinate Lily now!

Lily realized that Drost's arrangement was not for her good. She has also gone to school now, and she has not heard of the saying that "the descendants of prostitutes cannot go to school", and she has also seen that there are descendants of sinners among the students of the seminary.

So Minister Drost simply does not want her to show up.

He sent Lily to the Moriarty family just to put her under house arrest. So that she would never have the chance to get the surname of Droste in her life.

——That kind of thing, it’s better not to have it.

Lily thought.

“The things that are truly worth paying attention to have been obtained now. My treasure, the direction of my life…”

She specially chose the characteristic of “shadow affinity” this time, just to be able to better cooperate with Aiwass who holds the shadow demon in the future. With the “shadow affinity” she obtained when she just entered the adaptation path, she now has two levels of shadow affinity.

This is her layout for her future self. Aiwass will get out of the wheelchair one day, and what kind of identity will she follow Aiwass then?

Then she has to find a way to make herself more useful. She already knows who she wants to live for, and she doesn’t want to be abandoned again.
