Chapter 216 The Legacy of the Werewolf Transformation Skill

Aiwass waved his hand lightly in front of Lily, interrupting her gaze.

It was then that Lily suddenly became alert, "Hm...? What happened to me?"

"Nothing."

Mycroft added considerately at the side, "You were just lost in thought for a moment. Miss Lily must be very busy with work on a regular basis, probably lacking some rest."

His implication was that he hadn't seen anything.

Aiwass went along with the cue he had given, "Indeed, since I won't be going out the day after tomorrow, why not take two days off to rest."

And in his heart, Aiwass confirmed a fact—Lily had developed an adaptability for the Path of Love.

This book wasn't even a Codex Book, yet Lily was completely captivated by the cover.

This indicated that Lily's adaptability to the Path of Love was quite strong.

...Strange, when did this change come about?

Previously, when Aiwass allowed her to choose a Codex Book freely, she chose Spider's Silk Sensing. This at least indicated that at that time, her strongest adaptability was for the Path of Adaptation.

An answer emerged in Aiwass's mind.

—It must have started from the day Minister Drost died.

Since that day, there was an obvious change in Lily's temperament.

The most noticeable change was that her previous tendency to endure wrongs rather than argue had disappeared—with shyness gradually transforming into confidence, Lily clearly became more composed and calm.

Normally, when faced with troubles and decisions, she would subconsciously seek help from Aiwass. Because she was afraid to make decisions, always worried that she'd cause a problem, she'd leave the choice to Aiwass. But in recent days, the frequency of her seeking Aiwass's advice had clearly decreased.

Back then, Aiwass thought she was just simply maturing, gaining confidence, having avenged herself, and washed away her pain and confusion. But now it seemed, from that time on, there had been a shift in her Path.

However, in front of others, she still pretended to be as unremarkable as before... This showed that her adaptability for the Path of Adaptation hadn't been impaired. She had just acquired a new Path, and Aiwass let it be for now.

Lily wasn't like Aiwass, who could use the consumption of experience to level up. If she was to keep up with Aleister's advancement ritual, she couldn't afford to spread herself too thin with her side jobs.

Take Sherlock, for example... As he raised his professional level in the Path of Wisdom, his level in the Path of Authority naturally stagnated.

Nevertheless, there were still some daily practices that could slowly increase a bit of experience. For instance, the "Prayer" of the Path of Devotion had to be done punctually every day; similarly, the "Demonic Pact" from the Path of Transcendence—so long as the contracted Demon was of a higher level, one could also gain slow improvement. Because these bindings all originated from within the Path itself.

Priests cannot go without praying, and Demon Scholars who long neglect their growth and fail to get stronger will be reaped by their own Demons.

If Lily's main focus was to develop the Path of Adaptation, with the Path of Love as a side job... There shouldn't be a big problem. It's just about completing some of the "daily tasks" of the Path of Love.

That being said, increasing one or two energy levels shouldn't pose much of a problem.

Aiwass picked up "The Poisoned Apple of the Three Goddesses" and flipped through it on the spot.

Although the Sons of the Moon retain all the memories of their previous lives, they clearly aren't the resurrection of the living. To be transformed into a Son of the Moon requires an eighty-day ritual... and a normal person's soul would be allocated by the Nine Pillar Gods or return to the source of the world within a week of their death.

The Sons of the Moon certainly want to increase their companions, but such actions are rather repulsive to other Transcendents on the Path of Love.

Unless one is a fervent worshipper of the Sons of the Moon, no one would want their corpses desecrated, their social relationships, memories, and experiences from life stolen by a bloodthirsty beast.

Since Mr. Dark Cloud became a werewolf, that means he most likely offended a powerful witch.

Having offended a witch and the Sons of the Moon, I guess his relationship with Hawkeye isn't very good either.

Mr. Dark Cloud, who knows many secrets, is truly a remarkable individual...

But that's a good thing for Aiwass.

—I might be able to obtain clues about further strengthening Lily from him. This is true for both adaptation and love.

He said he would come to Avalon not long ago, but who knows when he will arrive...

With these thoughts, Aiwass closed the hastily browsed book.

And the prompt simultaneously appeared before him:

[From "The Poisoned Apple of the Three Goddesses," you have gained inspiration for "Potionology." Would you like to pay 21 public experience to master this mystical skill?]

[From "The Poisoned Apple of the Three Goddesses," you have gained inspiration for "Sorcery." Would you like to pay 44 public experience to master this mystical skill?]

No. No.

Aiwass immediately refused without hesitation.

The last thing he wanted was to become a "witch"—setting aside the fact that a third path would slow down the efficiency of experience acquisition, having one witch around was enough. Plus, a witch wouldn't be able to remove a curse that had been cast on herself.

Besides, he was a man. Who knows what bizarre job he might end up with after learning the mystical skills of a witch.

"This is for you."

Thinking this, Aiwass smiled and handed the book to Lily, "All of this is for you, including this potion, this glove... I'll take away this letter. Master Yanis might be interested in it."

Regardless of Mycroft being nearby, he said with a profound meaning, "However, Lily... just remember not to neglect the real business."

"I understand."

The moment Lily took the book, she felt as if a chord was lightly strummed in the depths of her heart.

Even without reading the book yet, Lily somehow felt a resonance—she was certain she could learn all the knowledge contained within it.

It seemed... it was not just an ordinary book of mystical studies.

It was also alive.
