To advance from "pleasure" to "pain", Valeera knows two rituals——
When taking the magic potion, you must either hold the "Holy Radiant Stone" or seek the care of the "Despair" witch.
She also specifically learned from "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia that the magical item corresponding to "The Dark One" cannot replace the "Holy Radiance Stone" as a promotion ritual.
This is because the purification power of magical items is too rigid and powerful. It will cause secondary damage to the body of the promoted person while purifying "diseases".
"Holy Radiance Stone" is one of the two main materials of the "Darknessless One" potion. Its purification power is just right, neither too much nor too little.
Of course, if a normal "Darkless One" demigod provides help, it can also meet the ritual needs.
For Valeela, seeking the care of the "Despair" witch is obviously impossible.
She has already drawn a clear line with the "Witch Cult". It is best not to go back and provoke them until the last moment...especially in the near future. They are probably choosing a vessel for the gods to descend. If they get involved, they will be finished.
Therefore, the way she came up with was how to replace the "Holy Radiant Stone".
Thanks to the strange ability she awakened and the broad vision that the content of the original book brought to Valeera, Valeera really thought of several possible solutions:
One is the sealed artifact "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem" kept in the "Nighthawks" team in Tingen;
If you just use this sealed object directly, the power of purification will certainly not be enough.
The solution Valeera considered was to use her awakened "dismantling" ability to extract the drop of "sun" divine blood inside the holy symbol, and then "make" it into a piece of "purification" rune.
If successful, she can achieve promotion.
However, this method has great uncertainties——
Although the "Mutated Holy Emblem of the Sun" is composed of two parts: the Holy Emblem and "Divine Blood", it is a demigod-level item after all. Valeera is not sure whether she can really "disassemble" it. It's really "disassembled", and whether it can be successfully "produced" again.
And that's not the only difficulty.
The "Mutated Holy Emblem of the Sun" is stored underground in the Church of the Night Goddess. Obtaining it requires at least a week of planning. In addition to its serious negative effects, it is also difficult to transport it.
Therefore, this is not a good solution and can only be used as an alternative.
The second is to consider seeking help from demigods who can simulate the "purification" ability, such as "Queen of Mystery" Bernadette;
Valeela was almost 100% sure that she could get help from this lady, but she was not sure how much she would have to pay.
the reason is simple.
Valeera knew her honorable name, and also had the advantage of knowing "Roselwen". If she still couldn't contact the eldest daughter of Rossel, who was currently in Backlund, and ask for help, she would still use her brain. Give it to the living corpse to eat.
As for why Valeera is sure that Bernadette can simulate the "purification" ability?
Mainly because of a legend, "Fallen Angel's Feather".
According to legend, an angel once fell and her white wings turned pure black due to filth, but her last holy power was condensed in a piece of white feathers and separated from her body.
If this legend can be used to create a new "fairy tale magic", Valeela believes that it will definitely help her achieve promotion.
Because not every legend really happened and can create corresponding "fairy tale magic"...
Therefore, this method is not 100% safe.
There is a third way, which is the protection of the "Fool" - the "Angel's Embrace" contaminated with the "Holy Water of the Sun" under the high level.
This method has the highest priority in Valeela's consideration.
The reason is also very simple.
Because of the description in the original work, Valeela is very familiar with the "Angel's Embrace" of "The Fool", even though it has not actually appeared yet.
She can be sure that "Angel's Embrace"
"The purification ability has also reached the level of a demigod, and its power is gentle and will not hurt anyone.
It can purify Amon's clone. It should be no problem to purify some "diseases" that are uncontrollable during the promotion process, right?
Valeera thinks this is the best solution.
But again, this approach also has corresponding problems.
It's slow!
He needs to wait for Klein to advance to Sequence 7, obtain a "blasphemous card", and buy the magical item "Sun Brooch", so that he can have the ability to let "The Fool" show the protection ability of "Angel's Embrace".
We have to wait another month!
As for why not take the initiative to speed up the process?
Because this was too deliberate, there was a high chance that it would arouse Klein's awareness and suspicion. Such a risk would outweigh the gains.
…
With all the ingredients for the potion in hand and nothing more to prepare, Valeera naturally became eager to be promoted.
That's why she considered the promotion ceremony again.
Obviously, if she changes her mind and chooses to ask "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette for help, then she might be promoted as soon as tonight.
Now that the materials are available, this option has become more attractive.
Valeela leaned on the bedside and thought about it for a long time. After simulating many verbal games with the "Mysterious Queen" in her mind, she finally gave up the idea of asking her for help in order to maintain her independence.
Valeera understood deeply that she could not control this lady.
Although contact with the "Mysterious Queen" should not be life-threatening, but... once she cannot control it, her freedom of movement will depend entirely on the will of others, and there is a risk of exposing her own secrets.
You know, judging from the current memory, she is probably even more special than Klein!
At least Klein doesn't know anything about "Lord of Mysteries", and it seems that Russell doesn't know either.
As for why she dared to ask the "baby" angel Will for help before?
Mainly because she was in poor condition, her old rival was worried about her, and there was a layer of Admissor between her...
Valeera also thought about this for a long time, and she really wanted to save Dunn, and finally made up her mind.
Otherwise, when she brought Admissor to Backlund, she could actually have him recite his honorary name. What's more, she could even find the address of Will's family from her memory and go directly to them.
Maybe if it were Russell, he might be so reckless.
However, Valeera knew very well that she would not make such a choice.
…
After completely calming down, Valeela adjusted her body to the state of just waking up, pulled the rope beside the bed, and notified Liya, the personal maid outside the bedroom, to come in and help her get dressed and get up.
Before the opportunity for promotion comes, she still has to be the young lady from a run-down noble family.
