David did not follow the Great Guardian directly, which was what Aiwas expected.
That child is quite sensible and understands the importance. He cannot come to an interrogation of such an important matter just because he wants to.
The Great Guardian took the initiative to ask "Aleister" to meet David because he had confirmed that Aleister Crowley could become their friend. Only then did he feel relieved to let David
Come and see her.
Although Aleister will still be in Avalon, they will not expel him directly - but after all, they have stripped her of the title of "royal agent" that they gave her. Regardless of Aleister
Especially if they don't care about this status, this is regarded as their lack of dignity.
They wouldn't rush to invite her back, and they didn't have the nerve to beg Aiwass to call her back.
In other words, although they have maintained a friendly relationship, there is also a possibility that... this is the last time they will contact Aleister.
It was from this perspective that the Great Guardian remembered David's desire to see Miss Aleister.
Considering that this might be the last time David would see Aleister...in order to prevent him from having irreparable regrets, George made that unruly request.
More than an hour after he left, there was a light knock on the door of the interrogation room in the side hall of the arbitration hall.
Three "dong dong dong" sounds, like a shy student knocking on the homeroom teacher's door.
Seeing no response from inside, the person outside the door seemed to become more hesitant, and knocked slower and softer three times. If it weren't for the fact that Aleister was the only one in the room, taking a nap with his eyes slightly closed... As long as she and others
People are chatting and may not hear this overly polite knock on the door.
"You can just come in."
Aleister couldn't help but said: "I can't go over and open the door for you."
"Hug, sorry..."
A panicked and childish voice came from the door: "I just want to..."
David Barton pushed open the heavy door and saw Aleister with his hands and feet bound in the dark room.
There were no other light sources in the room, and the corridor was pitch black. Even if the door was opened, not much light leaked out.
Although this meets the normal standards for imprisonment, it actually gives Aleister a possibility to escape from prison - in this environment, although her personal extraordinary power is sealed, the Shadow Demon can tear the shackles off her body at any time
, take her away.
In the dim room, only the silver triangles bound to Aleister's hands and feet shone with light. Her hands were folded in front of her, and her feet were tightly together.
The silvery white light spread outwards rhythmically. Like the ripples reflected in the lake water, it reflected on her face. The quiet and noble beauty made David subconsciously hold his breath.
Aleister's lowered gaze slightly raised, looking at David at the door, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. The scarlet gaze made him subconsciously take a half step back, but he soon felt some special attraction.
.
Looking at David standing at the door, he stood there and looked at him blankly. Miss Aleister, who had been waiting for more than an hour, tilted her head slightly and sighed softly: "It's so slow."
"Ah...I'm sorry!"
David suddenly woke up and immediately apologized respectfully and seriously: "It's my fault."
He did not explain why he came so slowly, nor did he quibble, but frankly admitted his mistake. He just looked a little scared, like a kitten or puppy that had made a mistake, cowering away and not daring to come near.
"Sit over here, there's a chair opposite."
Aleister said leisurely: "Or do you just want to take a look at me and leave... right, Mr. Knight?"
Seeing Aleister's half-smiling expression, David quickly came over.
He sat squarely in the seat in front of the Great Guardian, his expression serious and serious.
Looking at it from Aleister's point of view, it felt like father and son were overlapping in an illusion.
"...Miss Aleister."
He nodded politely and respectfully: "Hello, first time we meet."
"You can just call me Aleister."
Aleister chuckled and said: "After all, it's not the first time we've met, isn't it? 'Active Barton'?"
This is what David once said during the promotion ceremony. But now when Aleister reads it, it sounds a bit joking.
Now that Aleister read it out, David's own cheeks turned red. He felt as if his face and neck had a fever, and he felt a strong sense of shame.
——If he had known this, he would not have said such a title!
"……yes."
David said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't keep my word."
"What?"
Aleister was a little surprised.
Did you say anything?
"I told you at that time that you don't have to worry about being arrested; even if you are arrested, I can release you directly."
David was obviously ashamed, and his face was a little sad that he had broken his promise: "But I couldn't do it, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
As he spoke, he raised his head and said seriously: "I also asked my father, but my father said that this matter needs Your Excellency Ligeia to have the final say... I will ask Your Excellency Ligeia later!"
Aleister hissed softly and thought about it for a while before finally remembering that sentence.
That was during the promotion ceremony.
It was the promise David had made to her when he thought she was "Mr. Aleister".
At that time, David asked Aiwass very naively how he could transfer to the path of transcendence... and the result directly shocked Aiwass.
Putting aside the issue of whether it is legal to transcend the path, ordinary people do not have the conditions to change the profession of a curse mage. Demons mainly depend on talent and qualifications. The only ones who can get the job are demonologists. If you want to transfer to a demonologist, you have to join the noble class.
Red - Is this really a big deal?
So Aiwass persuaded him earnestly for a while.
——Even if you have the adaptability to transcend the path in your heart, you may not necessarily embark on this path immediately, my child!
This is like a child who wants to major in environmental engineering or bioengineering. I want to think about it, but after all, I still have to think about finding a job after graduation.
Not to mention that David is still initiating a major life consultation with the "net friend" he met for the first time, and even has the intention of avoiding his parents and secretly changing his career... As a mature and reliable adult, Aiwass
It is very normal to help stop someone.
It’s not that I have to stop you, but you must think clearly about such a major matter. You must not make decisions on your own in a hurry.
Later, when he learned that David was just fifteen years old, Aiwass suddenly understood.
...Ah, no wonder. This makes perfect sense.
Moreover, the path is more difficult to turn back than the major in college - if you choose the wrong major, you can change majors or enroll in classes for self-study, or you can work across majors.
But once you choose the path, you can never turn back.
As long as the level of a certain extraordinary profession reaches two levels, enters the first level, and takes the path characteristics of the Pillar God, there is no way out. If you decide on the second path at a young age, it will be too late to regret it in the future.
.
Aiwass only felt that he did what he should do at that time - it would be too immoral to deceive someone into becoming a demonologist. Not to mention that he was originally an enemy of Noble Red, and it was impossible to send people there.
.
Fortunately, David is one of the few children who is not too impatient and can listen to what others say. He obviously listened carefully to Aiwass's words, understood them, and accepted Aiwass's suggestions. He also realized that "Ah
Mr. Leicester's kindness to him.
So he sent an invitation to "Mr. Aleister" at that time. He said that if he came to Glass Island in the future, he could defect to him and he would ask his parents to entertain this benefactor. If he was caught, he could also let him go.
Parents help release people, so they don't have to worry about illegally crossing the road.
——Because it was a conversation in a dream, Aleister could not remember it clearly.
It was only now that David mentioned it again that she recalled that it did happen.
…But to be honest, Aleister wasn’t really serious at that time.
No matter how you look at it, these are the kind of polite words like "I'll treat you to dinner when I have a chance in the future." After all, this is the first time they have met, and neither of them knows the other's age, gender, identity, appearance, name...
...roughly equivalent to netizens who have met for less than 24 hours.
——Who would have thought that David was serious at the time!
The fact that he can remember such details in this promotion ceremony shows that after David completed his promotion, he immediately found a notebook and wrote down the promises he made. Then he would watch it again and again if he had nothing to do.
Keep it in your mind.
At that moment, Aleister was moved but also a little worried.
David's serious and simple character always feels like he has been deceived by other smooth-talking bad guys...
Originally, Aleister wanted to tease the child, but now he couldn't bear it anymore.
Because even if it is just a joke, he may take it seriously and remember it for a long time.
It’s better not to bully such a child too harshly...
