Chapter 828 The Big Snake and the Sun
"Evans, Aiwass...
"Hey, Superman, wake up, I'm Shaforin..."
In a daze, Aiwass suddenly opened his eyes.
Under the dim crimson moonlight, the sea of blood made a rhythmic sound of tides.
Not far from Aiwass was a petite girl with waist-length black hair.
As usual, her face couldn't be seen clearly in the preparation room. However, the golden and red robe she wore gave her a sense of elegance. Her hair, neck, and wrists were adorned with numerous jewels... It looked more like the princess was attending some grand banquet than a promotion ceremony.
For her, this stone chair, which was so spacious that even an elf could sit on it, was obviously too big.
So the girl simply curled up her legs and huddled in the corner of the chair like a mermaid.
She was looking at Aiwass with a smile. When she saw Aiwass looking up at her, she immediately let out a silver bell-like laugh.
"Long time no see, Aiwass. Of course, maybe not that long—if your arrival in Avalon can be counted as our meeting."
Aleister teased boldly.
"Alai..."
Just as Aiwass was about to say something, he suddenly realized something: "You got in using No. 14's body? And the Shadow Fiend can no longer disguise you... In that case, is the identity of Aleister not suitable for you? After all, to you, the name Aleister is your real name."
"Just any name will do."
Aleister said casually, "Code names don't matter... just call me [Beast]."
"...That doesn't sound very nice."
Aiwass frowned.
If this word is spoken in Avalonian, it also means "beast" or "a person with a beastly heart." It's more of a curse from others than a self-name.
"Why don't you give me a name then?" Aleister, who inherited Aiwass's naming ability, immediately gave in. "How about [Sin]? [Scarlet]?"
"...Let's call it Snake."
Aiwass pondered for a long time before answering, "Son of the Snake Father... This title is the most appropriate."
"Then call it [Big Snake]."
Aleister emphasized.
Aiwass nodded helplessly: "It's all fine, as long as you are happy. Also, remember to call me Fox."
"—Are you still going to call me Fox?"
Aleister questioned, "Your 'fox personality' all comes from me, right? Look, now that you've sliced me out, where's the foxy, cunning, and malicious intent left in you? The glittering light on your body is almost blinding me."
Aleister was obviously unusually excited today... She wore her most luxurious and formal clothes, called Aiwass by his real name, and used some jokes that only she and Aiwass knew.
But Aiwass also knew why Aleister was like this.
Because this was the first time they attended the promotion ceremony at the same time.
——If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time.
So Aiwass was also very gentle, trying his best to meet all of Aleister's needs: "What do you think I should be called? I've already given you a name... Now it's your turn to name me."
"Your name is [Sun]."
Aleister said without hesitation.
"Why?"
Aiwass was a little surprised.
He thought that Aleister might give him some weird names.
But before Aleister could answer, new promotions began to appear in other positions.
The first person to appear was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a wizard's robe and holding a staff.
——Even before he said a word, Aiwass had already guessed that the old man must be a great wizard.
Immediately afterwards, two more people appeared almost at the same time.
One of them was wearing a brown linen robe, the kind even the peasants of Xingtan wouldn't wear. He looked like an ascetic. It was covered in patches of various colors and dotted with grease stains... It didn't look like clothing at all, but more like a well-used rag.
The man's damp olive green hair spread out behind him in curls like seaweed, and combined with his "retro-style clothing" which also gave people a damp feeling, it gave people a subtle feeling of nausea.
Aiwass didn't react at all, but Aleister frowned and took a tactical step back - although she was far away, she felt as if she smelled some strange smell when she looked at the man's clothes.
During the promotion ceremony, one can either wear formal enough clothes to express one's attitude, or wear clothes that can be used to disguise one's identity.
...but this is the first time I've seen this style of dressing.
The other was a woman in her twenties or thirties.
She looked extremely determined, sitting upright with a dignified demeanor.
"……oh?"
And the great wizard seemed to recognize their identities.
The old man leaned forward slightly, his tone somewhat subtle: "You..."
"Woo woo woo, Narcissus has just established a country, and already he doesn't recognize Old Lalo?"
The "rag man" suddenly started with a fake cry, which instantly shocked the old man: "Sandro, old Sandro - Wooa ...
"You! This—"
The box was opened in public the moment they met, and the old wizard was immediately furious.
Before he could say anything, the "Mop Man" immediately spoke at a rapid pace: "Why are you so distant, old Sandro? I haven't treated you unfairly, have I? I've even helped you a lot! Think about the friendship we had back then. You even held me in your arms when I was a child!"
For a moment, Aiwass even wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"Lalo! You clown—"
The old wizard finally reacted and shouted angrily, "I never provoked you! I'm not in the same group as those Moon Children!"
He had barely finished his words when another person appeared in the sixth position.
She was a woman with beautiful long brown curly hair, wearing a court dress that was no less gorgeous than Aleister's.
As soon as she appeared, she heard the old wizard's voice.
"——Child of the Moon?"
Her voice suddenly became less friendly, "What happened to you, Master?"
Although I haven't seen the people around me clearly yet, this is a New Moon Ceremony anyway, so it doesn't matter if I offend people.
If you dare say another word, I will kill you as soon as I get in, even if I don’t get promoted this time!
This is the Moon Children's strength as Dao creatures—they don't need to study; they can gradually increase their Dao level as they grow, advancing effortlessly. Even if they fail, they can recover in a matter of days. They have long lives and can afford to wait.
Their souls and bodies were already one, so as long as they weren't completely dead, they could be healed again in the physical world. Losing limbs and other reflection injuries were no big deal; they could be replenished by sucking blood.
Even if he really died, if there was no other way out, he would just kill himself first - since he had already died once, he would not die again. After that, at most he could use the ashes of other Moon Children to fill the gaps in his soul and be resurrected on the spot.
Everyone else is afraid of death, but she is not.
This is also the absolute advantage of the Son of the Moon in the promotion ceremony.
This is also the reason why the Path of Love is easily rejected by others during the Full Moon Ceremony.
“Andrea Walter!!”
Before the old wizard could reply, the rag man who called himself "Lalo" suddenly shouted in a very high voice, directly covering up the voices of everyone else and even frightening the Son of the Moon.
Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Aiwass felt that her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at "Mop Man Lalo" with an incredible look.
——Is this person sick? !
Lalo, without hesitation, shouted out his true feelings: "Fuck your mother!!!"
"……ah?"
Andrea was shocked.
Although she was being scolded, her mind went blank for a moment - because she didn't understand why she was being caught and scolded by a stranger.
In an instant, even the entire preparation room for the promotion ceremony fell silent.
And there seemed to be light in Aleister's eyes.
She looked at all this, excited and thrilled——
Is it so cool?
This is a game of grudges!
