Chapter 96 Counting the Spoils
Aiwass didn't go looking for a wheelchair and got out of bed in his pajamas.
He stepped directly on the soft and dry carpet and couldn't help but sigh: "It was indeed quite clean. I didn't see any blood stains on the floor, and the carpet wasn't even stained... Well done, Shadow Demon."
When Aiwass stepped on the ground, the contract between Shadow Demon and Aiwass was connected, and the power belonging to Shadow Demon was activated.
The morning light of the morning sun was hitting Aiwass.
The sunlight, which was not strong, only cast a light shadow on him. But after the shadow demon was activated, the shadow suddenly became thicker - like a large dose of ink dripping into the water. The shadow at Aiwass' feet became like a ball of fluffy black cats.
The whole room became dark, and countless dark smoke gradually solidified and slowly climbed up all the windows. The gradually thickening shadow lines are like dense blood vessels and nerves, or like slowly growing tree branches, almost completely blocking the sunlight outside the window.
Now only a little sunlight leaks in. It's like the dark but barely visible state in the room before dawn.
"Too dark."
Aiwass said casually: "But feel free, as long as you are happy.
"I thought you would tear her into pieces completely. I was prepared to pick up some useful things... I didn't expect that they would be so completely preserved."
He picked and picked, searching for his loot.
The closer he looked, the more subtle his expression became.
Not to mention the equipment, why can even the underwear be preserved so completely?
...Ah, that’s not right either. It seems reasonable.
If the equipment is complete, but only the underwear is missing, it seems to be a bigger problem...
Aiwass did a rough search and found that among the items "dropped" by Miss Assassin this time, the most valuable was probably her dagger, that is, the handleless flying knife.
[Eagle Feather*4]
[Extraordinary Weapon (Light Purple)]
[Exotic dagger, throwing weapon, light, sharp]
[Exotic characteristics: handleless (it must be used with special techniques)]
[Module - Poison Tank: Its poisoning effect lasts longer, and it is easier to poison the enemy when it hits]
[Extraordinary Module - Silent Poison: When it is poisoned, it will not make any sound until it hits the target]
There are four throwing knives left in this set.
It has no fancy attributes, and all its effects are designed for assassination. Among extraordinary weapons, it is also the weakest type - but for an assassin, this is an excellent hidden weapon.
As long as the venom is applied, it will not make a sound. If you use this method to carry out a sneak attack, you can basically only avoid it through inspiration. On some paths that lack inspiration attributes, even if the extraordinary level is cultivated to a high level, it cannot be captured through perception.
It's just a pity that Miss Assassin didn't reveal the "skill book". Aiwass is temporarily unable to obtain the skills of Hawkeye's assassin to use this weapon...
——But it’s not impossible to use. Just find a trustworthy blacksmith and put a handle on the back of it. This changes it from an exotic dagger back to a normal dagger.
Although it may cause the center of gravity to shift, it does not affect its properties anyway. If the blacksmith is good enough, he should be able to transform it.
As for the poison that goes with this knife, Miss Assassin also has two of them, both in the form of lipstick.
One of the lipsticks is dark red and is called [Love]. The poison inside is relatively hidden and will cause people to become more and more fatigued within a few hours after being poisoned, and then cause sudden death without even realizing it.
The other one is pink and is called [Moon Mist]. It can kill a person within a few seconds. The cause of death is that the internal organs, mainly the heart and lungs, are quickly corroded and melted - this is obviously the poison used to assassinate the secretary.
These two lipsticks are basically brand new and will probably last a long time. Aiwass is not a poison maker, nor is he an extraordinary person adapted to the path, so he himself is not immune to this poison. And he obviously doesn't use lipstick either.
Even so, there is no problem in using lipstick directly as a solid poison ointment. The poison of the Hawkeye organization is quite reliable... Anyway, keep it for now, maybe it will be useful later.
Beyond that, it's just a transmitter. It was a badge that required infusion of dark attribute mana to be triggered. Its function was to urgently notify one's superiors - either to seek help or to commit suicide.
It seems that Shadow Demon is very efficient. She was killed by Shadow Demon before she could commit suicide.
Otherwise, this experience will be wasted.
"Can this explode?!"
When Aiwass saw the waistband worn by Miss Assassin, his whole body suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"——Does she have such a high status in Eagle Eyes?"
Because that is another piece of equipment in the "Eagle in the Shadow" set, and it is also the most valuable and core piece of equipment:
[Stalker in the Shadows]
[Extraordinary Equipment (Purple)]
[Armor - Torso]
[Feature: When the enemy does not detect you, it is easier to successfully enter stealth or invisibility (triggered only when adapting to the road)]
[Extraordinary characteristic: While in stealth or invisibility, sneak attack attacks launched by you always gain +1 advantage (shadow) (limited to adaptive road triggers)]
[Set: Eagle in the Shadow (1/4)]
["——Keep quiet, keep silent. The shadow is our mother."]
Although the rarity is only purple, there is no resistance at all and no enchantment spell...
But this is undoubtedly the most valuable piece of equipment.
It can be purchased in the game, but in fact, this is the only equipment that is not mass-produced. Therefore, the attributes of this set are actually not complete. Ordinary players can only get three sets. The fourth piece must be obtained through special channels.
Because it brings an increase in "priority".
The reason why the extraordinary people in this world use "energy level" to summarize the level. This is because when there is a conflict of ability, the extraordinary people with higher energy levels are more likely to be judged as successful. When the energy levels are the same, the result is hard to say.
For example, the Path of Authority has the "No Escape" law spell, which can reveal things hidden by extraordinary power within the range. This spell has +1 advantage (reveal), which can be launched successfully when the energy level is one level lower than the opponent, but if it is two energy levels lower, it basically cannot be swept out.
So those low-level supervisors and law mages cannot catch Miss Assassin - their level is too low, and they can't find her where she is no matter what means they try.
And the meaning of +1 advantage (shadow) is that with the blessing of the shadow field, the assassin can obtain a temporary energy level when attacking. But if the opponent is immune to the shadow ability, then this priority blessing is invalid.
According to Aiwass's judgment, Gordon should be a level 39 air cavalry. At this age, the old man must have accumulated enough. So he must be stuck at the level before the advancement - that is, level 39.
He must have failed to advance repeatedly, so he decided not to advance.
Failure to advance from the fourth energy level to the fifth energy level will cause obvious damage to the soul. There is even a possibility of death during the full moon ceremony.
Although Gordon did not bring a mount, the assassin lady did not sneak attack. As a weak profession, she can fight the air cavalry head-on without a clear winner, and even run faster than the griffin. The assassin lady should be around level 38 or 39.
This is also more in line with the strategy of the Hawkeye organization: the assassins they send abroad are basically at the fourth energy level. Because assassins at this energy level can safely evade tracking and reconnaissance and operate in unfamiliar dangerous areas.
If the assassin lady can complete the advancement ceremony to level 40, then Gordon will not be able to suppress her. Although there is only one level difference, it is still a level difference.
But if those superhumans with the word "big" at the fifth level really come, Chloe's stealth will be worthless to them. They can easily sweep Chloe out and control her.
This is level suppression. It is precisely because of this strict "level" system that superhumans call it "level". It means the priority of superhuman abilities.
The Adaptation Path has the ability to prevent sneak attacks and sense crises, and some paths also have defensive abilities. But as long as the assassin wears this set of cloth armor without any defensive attributes, he can successfully sneak attack enemies that he couldn't sneak attack before, pierce defenses that he couldn't pierce before, and hit targets that he couldn't hit before.
Even if it's only +1, it's only a temporary increase in the judgment of one level, which is also extremely valuable!
Although with the update of the version, the terms for increasing priority have gradually become rampant... This can also be regarded as a kind of numerical expansion. But in the current 0 version, even equipment with +1 advantage is very rare.
Without favorable bonuses, it is basically impossible to fight the Fallen Angels at level 50.
Level 50 is even the sixth energy level that is almost impossible to reach in the current version. It is possible to complete the advancement only when the 49th level extraordinary people of the nine paths gather together, and there is a high probability of death if they fail. Because it is basically impossible to gather people now, it is difficult to complete the advancement at level 50... Only when the world is in chaos and the power of the fifth energy level is no longer enough, will the sixth energy level begin to be born in large numbers.
In the current environment, the sixth energy level is undoubtedly the strongest in the world and the best in the world.
The Eternal Pope of the Church is now at level 50, but she also relied on the status of the Eternal Pope to forcibly raise a temporary level, and will return to level 49 when she leaves office.
As the extremely difficult dungeon of version 0, the Fallen Angels are even just at the hard threshold at level 50. In this large-scale MMORPG game, the most difficult challenge-level dungeon in a certain version is basically impossible to enter without full level and full equipment. If you enter, it is basically repeated to wipe the group.
——This is the value of the upper-level phantom demon.
Just as "upper-level demon" refers to demons with higher status than demon scholars, the concept of "upper-level phantom demon" began when the Fallen Angels wiped out the "Rosicrucian" Society. It refers to phantom demons with higher status than this world - all apostles and angels belong to upper-level phantom demons.
The difference between upper-level phantom demons and phantom demons is that even if upper-level phantom demons are forced to take on flesh and descend to the material world, their levels are stuck at the world's upper limit, but in fact they are always regarded as a higher level. And this is the main reason for the failure of the Rose Cross Society, pure information asymmetry.
Whether it carries the (divine) judgment of unconditional advantage +1 in all fields is the difference between upper-level phantom demons and phantom demons.
Only upper-level phantom demons can be sealed as great beasts by great sin scholars.
Therefore, although the level of the Flame-Butterfly of Perverse Flame is very low, its status is very high - this premature little butterfly that was not fully hatched was even only level 30 at the time, but its judgment at the time was the standard of the fifth energy level. It is almost immune to all control, weakening, curse, armor penetration, and sneak attacks, and can even penetrate the player's resistance and shield.
At that time, players thought that this was the standard configuration of the group... but the bosses of the two consecutive major versions did not have this feature. It was not until the players finished defeating the Fallen Angel that they realized that... it turned out that the Flame of Rebellion Butterfly was the first upper-level phantom that players attacked.
Therefore, all equipment with the "+1 Advantage" entry should be collected as the top priority. Although only the highest level bonus is taken in each field, there are still many fields with bonuses.
This is also the reason why Aiwas wants to go archaeological - even the natives know that this kind of equipment is a good thing, and it is basically only held by the top forces in each country. Put it in Iris is Hawkeye, and put it in Avalon is the Arbitration Hall.
The strongest person in Avalon should be the Great Arbitrator Meg.
Although she is only a fifth-level extraordinary person, she has three +1 priority equipment on her body, which strengthens the three fields of "Boundary", "Revelation" and "Resistance" respectively. If you take the Queen's Scepter, you can also get a priority in the field of "Law"; in that case, she is basically a sixth-level strongest person.
It is also because of Meg's powerful deterrence that Avalon, whose internal political situation is increasingly chaotic and everyone has their own agenda, has been able to survive until now.
It was because in the summer of next year, Meg realized that the situation in Avalon was gradually getting worse, so she decided to try to advance. If she could complete the advancement, then Xingti would never dare to attack Avalon.
But in that promotion ceremony, Meg failed to advance and eventually died unfortunately -
Only three months after that. It was the "Cruel Autumn" incident in Avalon.
