Chapter 63 Give It an Internship Period

——Lovers, Hanged Man, Sun.

This bottom card has nothing to do with positive or negative, it just implies the nature of power.

All three answers have been given by the invisible apostle.

Perhaps the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly can have other possibilities. But the positive and negative positions and the order of playing cards are all the divination results made by the fortune-teller "Yulia".

After Aiwass got the answer, the prayer ceremony was about to end.

The candlelight in front of him suddenly began to jump restlessly, and the flame became thin and pale, as if urging something.

Aiwass knew that this was urging him to quickly destroy the items used in the ceremony.

This is the normal process of the prayer ceremony. Otherwise, it might anger the apostle who was coming.

Because these blood-stained tarot cards have been soaked with the power of the apostle. Just like a signature or a seal, it can be regarded as the identity mark of the other party.

If they fall into the hands of others, they can be used as ritual materials to call other apostles or even the Nine Pillars of God - they will think that this person was introduced by this apostle, so it is easier to respond to the ceremony. Only with the consent of the apostle, can some sanctified materials be left behind.

If not allowed, trying to leave materials with the smell of others in the ritual may lead to unnecessary attacks.

So Aiwass handed the blood-soaked tarot cards to the candlelight with both hands, indicating that he really came to ask questions.

They all burned when they met the fire and turned into ashes in an instant. It was like a fleeting flame shaken out by a magician, or like a fire that was instantly ignited and extinguished in the pot across an iron pot.

At the moment when these tarot cards burned out, the holes in Aiwass's hands and the wound on his thumb were healed silently. The magic power blocked in his arms was also removed.

The elongated candlelight licked the back of Aiwass's hand, but it did not burn him. Instead, it made him feel warm.

Aiwass carefully washed all the blood on his hands in the fire, and then tapped his heart, mouth, and forehead with his left hand.

"Thank you for your revelation, Apostle of the Candle."

The young man with platinum hair said solemnly to the candle in front of him in the dark room: "I will be like a candle, forever."

As if to encourage, the elongated candle flame jumped three times quickly.

Then, the flame returned to its original color and shape.

The feeling of being watched by something on his body also dissipated.

Aiwass carefully extinguished the candle, confirming that the ceremony was completely over and leaving the apostle to avoid a sudden comeback.

When the candle flame was completely extinguished, Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.

He relaxed his body and leaned back on his wheelchair.

Although this is a regular ability of a priest, other priests can also pray to the Nine Pillars - generally speaking, the most positive response is the apostle of the dedication path, and no sacrifice or cost is required. Because the act of helping believers for free is also a kind of "dedication".

But having said that, this was the first time that Aiwas personally used the prayer ceremony. He was still a little nervous.

"...I forgot to ask His name."

Suddenly, Aiwas patted his forehead in annoyance.

Although he didn't know who the apostle who responded to him was, the other party was quite friendly. He even helped him heal before leaving, saving Aiwas from using the fire sacrifice again.

If he knew the other party's name, Aiwas could pray to Him specifically next time.

Although it's not very friendly to catch a sheep and pull it... but as long as the other party agrees, it's a matter of mutual consent.

After a little pause, Aiwas took out the more expensive hardcover tarot cards he actually used from the table.

In this deck of cards, Aiwas had already used a "moon" when he made "Shadow Blade".

Aiwas felt that using the same deck of cards to make phantom cards might also increase the success rate a little.

Aiwass, relying on the revelation given by the apostle, picked out the three tarot cards suitable for the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly. And placed them on the table in the order of positive and reversed positions when he drew them, in an inverted triangle.

Although he was asking about the nature of power before, it can actually be regarded as a tarot divination for Yulia.

And it is a tarot divination with the participation of high-dimensional power.

The apostles of the dream world can see the past and the future - time is not irreversible for them. It's just that because of the constraints of the dream world, the apostles cannot tell mortals the exact future. Just like even if the holy number "1" is summoned, the answer given by his apostles cannot be only one.

But just a vague hint is also valuable.

"... Fortunately, when I was crazy about mystical knowledge before, I read a lot of messy books."

Aiwass breathed a sigh of relief.

The three cards drawn based on the power of the candle constitute the "holy triangle" expansion.

The three tarot cards in the holy triangle array represent the past, present, and future respectively. It is not a "trend" but a "cause and effect cycle" - the cause of the "past" brings the result of the "present", and the cause of the "present" brings the result of the "future"... The "future" also implies why the "past" developed in this way.

Although his skill in interpreting tarot cards is not very good, he can still interpret this simple card array.

Such a simple divination, can it be interpreted wrong?

The first card symbolizes the reversed "Lovers" of the past.

The reversed Lovers card, in the past tense, can indicate "quarrels", "childish feelings", "fading friendship", "desire to escape danger forever despite expectations for personal growth", etc. The key point of interpretation is that the relationship faded due to the failure to pass the test brought by feelings and the wrong choice made when "making choices".

Aiwass touched his chin and fell into thought.

Has the relationship between him and Yulia always been good?

Then it should not be a problem of feelings and friendship...

He shook his head and skipped this card, and looked at the second one first.

The upright "Hanged Man" symbolizes the present.

This is a very positive card. It indicates "self-sacrifice", "dedication for love", and "rebirth from the ashes". And the "upright position" indicates that this sacrifice is valuable.

"... Wait?"

Aiwass was stunned.

Speaking of which, Yulia in the game plot sacrificed herself to protect Aiwas and turned into a phantom! At that time, her life form did get a "leap", from a mortal to an immortal phantom. And she did have this kind of "rebirth" in the flame.

If "reality" refers to this, then the "future" pointed out in connection with this problem...

"The reversed Sun..."

Evans murmured.

The Sun is a card that symbolizes energy and vitality. And the reversed Sun indicates the decline of vitality and the fear of "lack". For example, physical weakness, depression, or divorce caused by emotional fluctuations.

This probably means that in the original timeline, the flame of the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly will be sealed by Aiwas in his necklace. Although he did not die, he fell into a state of distress and weakness.

And if reality and the future are both about the Phantom Demon and the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly, then what does the past refer to?

"... Could it be the cause of the Phantom Demon's riot?"

Thinking of this, Aiwas's expression became a little subtle.

Does Yulia really care about her contact with other people?

... This makes sense.

The most important person to Julia is Aiwas himself. Unlike Edward, who has been with his adoptive father for a longer time and therefore cares more about his opinion, she has always been closer to Aiwas. If Aiwas disagrees with James, Aiwas can be sure that she will lean towards herself.

But even so, I can't stay at home with you forever, baby.

—— Aiwas feels like he knows something, but it's not very useful to know it. It's worthy of the interpretation of the "past". People really can't change the "past".

But when he thought of this, Aiwas already knew which card he should choose as the background.

First, exclude the Lovers card. The key image of this card is "love" and the various choices brought about by love. This is not important for the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly... From the form of "butterfly emerging from the cocoon", it is known that his essence is obviously not related to love. This should be a simple hint of why it is out of control, or what are the emotions and reasons that caused it to lose control.

The Hanged Man is a card that symbolizes self-sacrifice. It is a card that represents the candle. Therefore, it also has the image of light and fire.

Use your body to raise the butterfly of the flame of rebellion, and turn it into a cocoon to hatch it. This is closer to "Yulia" in concept, rather than the butterfly of the flame of rebellion in her body. If Aiwass wants to use some ritual to influence her, then this answer is correct-it can accurately guide the power to Yulia, and the main position is always her rather than the phantom in her body.

However, what Aiwass really wants to do is to seal the phantom in her body.

The sun represents knowledge, vitality and energy-in the card of the sun, a naked child sits on a white horse, bathing in the brilliant golden sunshine, holding high the flag symbolizing victory, and praising the vitality brought to the land by the sun. In the relationship between Yulia and the phantom, the "sun" that provides vitality is actually Yulia... In other words, the child as the main body of this card is the "butterfly of rebellion" that is about to be hatched!

Without a doubt, this is the most suitable card!

It can fill the Flame of the Paradox Butterfly with enough energy to make it appear in the form of emitting light and heat. This concept is related to the way of dedication and is governed by Sizhu.

Therefore, Aiwas can use the "Hanged Man" representing Sizhu as a symbol card to seal and suppress it!

Because the symbol card is the Hanged Man, the beast created has the affinity of "the way of dedication" - when Aiwas uses this card to summon the Flame of the Paradox Butterfly, even if others come to detect it, they can only detect the power of the way of dedication!

Its energy attribute is flame, and the power of the way comes from dedication - if it looks like a priest skill, feels like a priest skill, and looks like a priest skill no matter how it is detected.

Then there is no doubt that it is a priest skill.

Moreover, the front and back cards of the blank card are both made with the "recommended card" pointed out by the apostle. Its strong effect is self-evident.

"Fortunately, I left this..."

Aiwas thought, and took out the true flame essence extracted from Yulia from his pocket that he had taken away before.

He did it subconsciously with the idea of ​​"keeping a souvenir" at the time. As a result, it really came in handy now.

In addition to fire essence, common materials that can carry fire attribute magic power include ruby, charcoal, cinnabar, sulfur, and saltpeter.

Evans cut open his left thumb again, and for every three drops of blood he squeezed out of his fingertips, he invested one point of fire attribute mana, so he invested four points of mana.

He used a white crystal stick to carefully mix the blood and the fire essence. It began to emit steaming white hot air at this moment, and the water in the blood was being dried quickly.

Evans lay on the table, concentrating on brushing it carefully on the Tarot cards with a toothbrush before it dried. Make sure it is applied evenly enough.

Then, he ground and mixed cinnabar and ruby ​​in a ratio of six to one, and sprinkled them evenly on the Tarot cards to nourish them.

It is different from the production of the "Moon Card". The environment for containing this card must have enough temperature. But it cannot be exposed to open flames.

Evans touched his chin and had an idea.

He put the card in a red cloth bag, filled it with a lot of charcoal powder and flattened it. Made it into a pendant.

Evans hung it on himself and prepared to go to bed.

When he wakes up tomorrow, he can give it to Yulia... and let her wear it close to her body.

He can use her heart temperature to warm the card - if the phantom wakes up, the overflowing fire attribute mana will be absorbed by the large amount of mystical materials filled in it.

Moreover, it can also allow the phantom to adapt to the sealed environment in advance.

- Arrange an internship period for the little butterfly.

Although even if it is not satisfied, Aiwas will not let it run away.
