Chapter 836 Why did the banquet host die?

While Aiwass continued to dance with Sasha, he watched from afar Cain and Andrea Walter dancing gracefully under the pure white candles.

"Andrea...that Moon Child, what on earth was she thinking?"

Aiwass frowned slightly in thought.

She looked like a passionate girl chasing after a star.

It was a rare opportunity to see the true body of Xue Tiansi in his previous life in the material world, so he approached him with great enthusiasm.

...But when I think about it carefully, I feel like something is not right.

Judging from what had been said in the preparation room, Andrea, as the Red Prime Minister's "daughter" and one of his most beloved lovers, was so in love with Pomponazzi that she volunteered to become the Moon Child, even going so far as to break up with her biological father, Master Walter.

After becoming the Moon Child, she completely sided with Pomponazzi. Even after Pomponazzi's death, she, who never had the nerve to argue, would not hesitate to offend other ascendants and desperately attack those she could not win an argument with in the preparation room.

If the succubus Emma and the Count of Leipzig each had their own ideas, Andrea was completely loyal to Pomponazzi. That devotion was even more genuine than that of Alphonse, Pomponazzi's biological son.

Although Aleister was not very diligent in synchronizing information with the cloud, Aiwass, who was sleeping in the Theocracy, knew all the information he should know - Pomponazi had a very loyal belief in the Lord of the Banquet.

He looked down upon the Moon Children in the Narcissus Duchy and the Iris Kingdom.

He believed that the Sons of the Moon who believed in the Blood Sky Master were cruel and stupid. They lacked the bearing and elegance of the Sons of the Moon and looked as rude as wild beasts... Compared to the elegant Sons of Hengwo, they were more like the savage Sons of the Beast Lord.

After all, Xue Tiansi's character is quite cruel and brutal, so it is not surprising that the Moon Sons who follow Xue Tiansi become like this.

This is what is meant by "leading by example, following suit".

...Then the problem arises.

Why is Andrea, the most loyal "daughter" of Red Prime Minister Pomponazzi, so enthusiastic about Xue Tiansi, whom Pomponazzi dislikes?

Furthermore, as a fourth-level transcendent… and because she wasn't good at acting and didn't intend to participate in the Full Moon Ceremony, this meant she had at least independently ascended to her current level. This meant she had performed the New Moon Ceremony at least twice.

Is she really as foolish and straightforward as she appears?

Aiwass fell into deep thought.

At this moment, another person suddenly appeared beside him.

"—Sir, can I dance with you?"

A steady voice came.

Aiwass glanced sideways and saw a heroic short-haired woman with her right hand on her chest, leaning forward slightly, and performing a neutral etiquette from the Hellassar Empire era to Aiwass.

This etiquette...

He felt a slight movement in his heart and nodded slightly to Sasha beside him, and Sasha took the initiative to let go of Aiwas' waist.

When Aiwass danced with the short-haired woman, he clearly felt her stiffness.

"Your Highness, there's no need to be so nervous."

Aiwass whispered.

Princess Noelle glanced at Aiwass in surprise. "I thought you'd guess it... but I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly, Mr. Sun."

"——Have you recognized me?"

Aiwass chuckled. "Thanks to Mr. Tolaro, this promotion ceremony is almost a done deal... How should I address you, Your Highness?"

The reason he could recognize her was simple. She performed the etiquette so perfectly and so seriously. This made it very likely she was the eldest princess.

As for whether it is true or not... Anyway, the other party must have recognized me, so it won't be wrong to lie.

——Because Aiwass didn't hide at all.

He made no secret of the thoughtful look in his eyes when he looked at Cain and Andrea.

As a devotee, he has no need to hide his identity.

Whether in combat or decryption, the Contributors are relatively the most reliable teammates - others may still need to hide, but Aiwass needs to expose himself actively in order to unite others and use numbers to gain an advantage.

As we all know, priests have no immediate combat capabilities.

Although they couldn't be said to be completely vulnerable, they were at least the weakest among the nine Dao Transcendents of the same power level. Therefore, there was no need to worry about them turning against you and backstabbing you... The inherent tendency of the Dao of Devotion also determined that they wouldn't do that.

——Even in the New Moon Ritual, the devotee is the most reliable collaborator.

"I came over here because I heard you say 'Knight of the Golden Stone'."

Princess Noelle shook her head and said, "Just call me Noelle, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

As she spoke, she looked at Andrea who was dancing gracefully: "Do you think there is something wrong with her?"

"I'm thinking...what her purpose is and what we should do."

Aiwass's eyes were calm, and his voice was low but clear: "Miss Andrea has chosen a path that belongs to her, and she has already taken action - no matter where that path leads. And yet we are still dancing here... I don't think this ceremony is for us to practice dancing here."

"I have an idea."

The princess whispered, "Did you hear that? 'Celebrate the death of the mad dragon, and may he ascend to heaven.' That mad dragon must be referring to Cain's father, who later became the host of the banquet."

"This isn't quite right, the time sequence is wrong."

Aiwass corrected in a low voice: "It was only after the feast master became an apostle that Sasha became his nun. After that, Sister Sasha gave birth to Cain. Therefore, there should not have been a Cain that old at the time of the 'Death of the Mad Dragon'..."

He still cares about these many logical bugs.

Because he knew too much, his logic became incoherent.

But the eldest princess shook her head.

"I really don't know about this," she wasn't very clear about this, so she hadn't paid any attention to it before. "What I'm thinking about is... why is there a 'honor to heroes' at the banquet celebrating the 'death of the mad dragon'?

"Why did the 'Mad Dragon' die? Why did all the heroes gather together? Is that 'hero' the dragon-slaying hero? But if the Mad Dragon is Cain's father, why are they celebrating all this?"

The Balancer's thinking is still clear enough.

Her thinking was as sharp as a knife, which was a good inspiration to Aiwass.

“Will it be…”

Aiwass pondered, searching for a possible answer: "Because for the Celestial Masters and Apostles, death isn't the end of everything, but rather the beginning? So if the Mad Dragon is killed, it means the feast host can ascend to the dream world and become Hengwo's apostle, or even a Celestial Master? So for him, this is actually a feast for ascension...

"And those 'heroes' might be the ones invited by the 'Mad Dragon' to come and kill him?"

"So, is there such a section in real history?"

The eldest princess asked back.

Aiwass shook his head. "I don't know. History doesn't clearly record why the host died."

"Since there is no clear historical record, how can you be sure that this is not true history?"

"because……"

Just as Aiwas was about to frown and repeat what he had just said, his words suddenly got stuck.

……Wait a moment.

There is no clear record in history?

His eyes suddenly widened as he realized something.

Is it possible that... these paintings are originally some "history that never happened"?

In other words, there is no such thing as a "correct answer".

Instead, we need to create history from a cloud of fog!

From this illogical painting, create a logical and comprehensive story!

In other words, we must take the initiative to correct and erase those "incorrect" details!

So...what was wrong with this banquet?

——Cain!

"Ugh!"

At this moment, Cain, who was dancing with Andrea Walter, suddenly let out a scream.

A scarlet crystal thorn shot out from Andrea's chest and pierced directly through Cain's chest!

She hugged Cain tightly, and a large number of scarlet spikes sprouted from her body, instantly turning him into a sieve!

The poison flowed into his blood, and in an instant many red spots appeared on his skin.

Andrea gracefully embraced Cain, leaning him against the wall, then stepped back two steps, bowing like a dancer's curtain call.

"Why," Andrea whispered maliciously, "do you think that just because you have red eyes... I can't recognize you as not the Child of the Moon?"

At that moment, Aiwass understood why Andrea took the initiative.

She sensed that there was no Moon Child's blood in Cain's body!
