It's like turning into a fetus and returning to the mother's womb.
It's like relaxing your whole body and soaking in a hot spring... The moist and warm liquid makes people so fascinated that even their mood becomes peaceful.
When Aiwass regained consciousness again, he heard the sound of the rising and falling tides around him.
The strong smell of blood came along with the sounds of people talking.
He opened his eyes and saw a pitch-black waning moon hanging above the black-red sky.
Under their feet, the sea of blood was foaming with white foam, ebbing and flowing like the sea under the moonlight.
In the middle of them was a huge brass machine dancer. She folded her hands in front of her and stood elegantly motionless. There were butterfly-like wings behind her, but these wings were not biological insect wings.
Instead, it is made up of countless extremely thin gears and metal sheets.
Aiwass and Lily appeared almost at the same time.
This time Aiwass did not directly let the shadow demon attach itself to his body and cover his whole body.
Instead, he adopted another method of disguise——
Anyway, Aiwass's hair is very long now, but it is usually tied into a ponytail. But now he untied his hair, let it all down, and put on Lily's clothes again - and then the shadow demon covered it again
, Aiwass only looked at the black afterimage that looked like "the character has not been unlocked", and it looked like a woman.
Lily, on the other hand, adopted the opposite disguise.
She put on Aiwass's men's coat and a large-brimmed hat on her head - Aiwass happened to have brought a gray windbreaker and top hat with him when he went out this time. Now it happened to be used by Lily.
Although Lily's long curly gray hair still hung unobstructed around her waist, she cleverly changed her posture to that of a man. Just look at her fingers intertwined, leaning back on the back of the chair, and stacking
Due to the posture of his legs, it is difficult to believe that Mr. Gray at this moment is a woman.
Because according to Aiwass' previous statement, Miss Aleister is actually a woman.
Although some people already know that Aleister is Aiwass...such as Her Majesty the Queen, and the Great Guardian. But after all, it is still a secret that outsiders do not know.
——Maybe this information gap will suddenly be useful at some point in the future. So Aiwass simply changed into Lily's clothes and planned to play the role of "Miss Aleister" to the end.
Anyway, he doesn't have to do anything, not even put on makeup - you can't see the face clearly during the promotion ceremony, and the voice will be distorted to a certain extent. You can only judge the other person's true identity from his posture, clothing, tone of voice, hairstyle, etc.
As for speaking——
Originally, Aleister was also the one responsible for speaking.
Now it's just a matter of adjusting his voice from the dry, hoarse, monster-like voice to that of the assassin lady.
Compared to that...
Aiwass raised his head and looked at the crowd with interest.
——He and Lily are actually the seventh and eighth replacements.
Before they showed up, six people had arrived. Judging from the enthusiasm of the conversation, it seemed that they had been there for a while.
This shows that the home venue of this ceremony is most likely not in Avalon.
The ninth person who appeared immediately after Lily was a short and skinny old lady wearing a green big-brimmed hat.
Her body was stooped and shrunken, and she didn't look like a human. Instead, she looked like a goblin.
When the six people from before saw everyone gathered, the man sitting first among them looked over and asked with interest: "Which one of you three...is beyond the path?"
"Before asking someone a question, you should introduce yourself first, right?"
Aiwass did not open his mouth.
But Miss Assassin Chloe's sweet and gentle voice was as sweet and gentle as honey, and there were three echoes, one rough and one sharp.
"It is true, Miss, that is what you said."
The man nodded slightly, very politely.
He put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and said: "I am [Ban], the path of authority."
He looked vigorous and strong. He was probably in his early thirties and his voice was loud and clear.
"[Philosopher]."
The man in second place crossed his arms and said coldly, his attitude in stark contrast to the prohibition.
He looks as cold and cold as winter, with a sense of superiority and arrogance. He must be quite old... Although he can't see his appearance clearly, it seems that he has lost more than half of his head. I'm afraid at least he is bald.
He must be forty or fifty years old.
"You can call me [Stranger], I am still an alchemist who is still in the apprenticeship stage."
The man, also in his forties, replied gently.
"I am [Forging Furnace], dedicated to the road, hello to you."
The fourth person to speak was a dwarf sister - or maybe an aunt or grandma. Because dwarves generally suffer from premature aging, it is difficult to tell her specific age. However, her attitude was quite friendly.
"I'm Janet."
The next person who spoke was a woman who seemed to be using her real name.
She smiled and said: "Janet Boyman, the path of love...but I am not a witch, little sisters?"
"...ghost."
The sixth person who spoke lowered his head, looking like he was about to fall asleep, and made a hoarse, low voice.
Aiwass was silent for a while and tilted his head slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Chloe's voice came out: "Alai. You can call me Alai. As you can see, I am a transcendent."
"Ash."
Lily used her falsetto skills to produce a low, hoarse voice.
Because she only pronounced one word, the waiting hall was silent for a long time.
Finally, the old lady wearing a cuckold suddenly woke up and spoke in a sharp voice: "I am... the Hatter. The Path of Beauty."
It is indeed a new moon ceremony. Aiwass thought to himself.
This is all bullshit and snake-god stuff...
He glanced over and saw at least three people opening trumpet accounts.
Being able to bring in myself and Lily from the team to fill in... It means that the host of the ceremony has judged that if the transcendent from the free team is brought in at this time, the strength is no longer at the same level as them. This is unfair to them.
.
There are indeed many trumpets explaining the New Moon Ceremony.
Ban, Philosopher and Stranger are most likely on the same team, and all three of them may be alts.
It's hard to say what the forge is, but I guess it's a dwarf blacksmith. It's easy to find teammates with this auxiliary profession.
One of the teammates she found was Janet Boyman. The ghost was not sure if she was from their team.
Aiwass knew this man.
Janet is actually an Avalonian.
A well-known goblin scholar - she entered the goblin kingdom once and obtained healing abilities from the goblins... an ability to make something similar to witch ointment. However, this ability is very unstable, sometimes it doesn't work, and sometimes it fails.
Become a poison or mischief potion.
However, she was ultimately arrested not because she died as a doctor, but because as a journalist, she made public political remarks many times - including but not limited to "The royal family has been killed one after another and the royal family is not in a hurry at all, which shows that this
It's the queen who wants to use this method to pass the throne to someone." "Avalon actually can't beat the Star Antimony at all. As long as the Star Antimony people come over, they will definitely break into pieces at a touch." "The Griffin is useless at all. It's not as good as
"Motorcycles benefit the people", "Avalon's alchemy actually has no development at all, and those technological breakthroughs are completely useless" and other sharp comments.
Although it now seems that there is a lot of truth in it... But in fact, she has no evidence and it is just pure guessing.
And she will also write some reports that are definitely not true.
For example, she claimed many times that the reason why Sherlock Hermes became a famous detective was because he arranged those cases. For some reason, she was very hostile to Sherlock and publicly criticized him many times.
.
But later she suffered a disaster because of her talkativeness - she was caught and pedaled on a treadmill for six months, and after she came out, she ran to Star Antimony.
If these six people are all Star Antimony people, then it can explain why the first sentence they spoke was to directly ask who among us is the transcendent.
Most of the Shadows belong to the Dusk Path, while the Stranger is the Alchemist. These three paths on the Star Antimony side are absolutely mainstream, just like the authority and dedication on the Avalon side. It is basically impossible to fill the gap.
If there is no transcendent among the three of them, it means that someone among the remaining people must have lied - and because of this, Aiwass can confirm that these six people are not at least on the same team.
A maximum of three people can win the New Moon Ceremony, but failure will be easy to pay. So there can only be a team of three people at most.
These six people have to be divided into two or three teams, but they are all in Star Antimony. Therefore, the ceremony will capture themselves and Lily, as well as the "Hatter" who is most likely a goblin to fill their positions.
——After leaving the radiation range of Avalon, even the proportion of alien races increased.
Aiwass tested it, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the armrest. The shadow covered Aiwass's movements, and cards emerged one after another in his palm.
——As expected, the Butterfly of Contrary Flame cannot be summoned.
I just don't know whether it's because the Sin Cards can't be used, or because the Butterfly of Flame, which is assigned to the path of devotion, can't be used.
This is also simple. After the little butterfly reaches the fifth level, Aiwass can use her power to create some weaker cards.
Just wait until the next New Moon Ceremony to advance and see if the cards drawn from the little butterfly can be used.
After everyone introduced themselves, the sweet sound of the music box suddenly came from the waiting room filled with the smell of blood.
The brass dancer in the middle flaps her wings slightly and dances in the light music.
The dance immediately attracted everyone's attention and everyone was addicted to it. Just watching the dance made me feel mentally healed.
Her dance became more and more intense and frantic. Finally she opened her eyes, and those eyes, like the most beautiful emeralds, were so beautiful that it was dazzling.
Finally, her dance gradually returned to calmness. After the dance, she closed her eyes again and returned to the original state, motionless.
"I am Terpsichore."
Her ethereal voice sounded in everyone's heart: "The Muse of the Twin Mirror."
Apart from that, she didn't say another word.
[This time there are seven advanced people with multiple paths, but please note: in the advancement ceremony, only advanced path abilities and extraordinary items corresponding to the paths made by yourself are allowed to be used]
[This ritual is limited to sixteen hours, and the ratio to reality is eight to one]
[You must survive until the end of the ceremony, or complete the special victory conditions during early settlement]
[Because this ceremony is a new moon ceremony, the kill reward points are calculated. When the ceremony is completed and settled, the winner will be selected based on the points held from highest to lowest]
[The regular winners of this ceremony are three people, and there are special victory conditions]
[The special victory conditions for this ceremony are: "Secret Reflection", "Twin Victory"]
[Secret Reflection: All the advanced players in this ceremony are of the opposite gender to the roles they play. When you find out the true identities of all the remaining advanced players except yourself, and do not let your true identity be discovered by any advanced person, you will ignore the victory conditions.
Win directly]
[Twin Victory: There must be at least two advanced players at the end of the ceremony. If only one survives, it will be directly judged as a loss and the two dead advanced players with the most points will be selected to win]
[The difficulty of this ritual is "difficult challenge". Real death during the ritual will cause ninety days of weakness in reality, a small probability of causing damage to the soul, and a very small probability of causing disability]
[The dreamland of this ceremony is constructed by ‘Amber’, and the script and extra points details are handled by ‘Twin Mirrors’]
Immediately afterwards, Therpsy Core paused and sang softly as if telling a story:
[1580, Herasl Empire...]
update completed!
Ah, following on from the previous chapter, I have been breathing hot air through my nose for three days. I have been taking ibuprofen for two days and it still doesn’t feel better. Every night when I go to bed, I feel very hot and a little cold, and I sweat like crazy, but when I get up,
After taking the test, the body temperature was normal, a very standard 36.5, which was perfect.
After waking up today, I drank some antiviral oral liquid. The problem of dry throat has basically disappeared. My cough has changed, but it is not severe. My nose has also begun to increase, and my nasal congestion has reduced. The most important thing is that although I am tired, I don’t have a headache.
No fever either...it's really weird...
Because I don’t have a headache, I don’t want to go to the hospital. I always feel that it would be worse if I go to the hospital and get infected by other people.
But if you still feel better when you wake up tomorrow, you will have to go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon. On the 30th, the operations officer Guan Guan will come to play with the cat. I have to stand up and not fall down——
