Under the dim crimson moonlight, the sea of blood emitted rhythmic tidal sounds.
Not far from Aiwass, there was a petite girl with waist-length black hair.
In the preparation room, as usual, her face could not be seen clearly. However, the golden and red robe she was wearing gave people a very luxurious feeling. There were a lot of jewelry tied on her head, neck, and wrists... Compared to promotion
The ceremony is more like a princess attending some kind of grand banquet.
To her, the stone chair, which made the elf even sit on it, seemed too loose. 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 Aiwass raised his head and looked at her, she immediately burst into laughter as clear as a silver bell.
"It's been a long time, Aiwass. Of course, maybe it hasn't been too long - if the time you came to Avalon can be counted as our meeting."
Aleister joked boldly.
"Alai..."
Aiwass was about to say something when he suddenly realized something: "You came in with a body No. 14? And Shadow Demon can no longer disguise you... In this case, aren't you not suitable for using Alai?"
This identity? After all, for you, the name Aleister is your real name."
"Just pick up any one."
Aleister said casually: "Code names don't matter...then just call me [Beast]."
"...That doesn't sound good."
Aiwass frowned.
If this word is spoken in the Avalonian language, it also means "animal" or "a person with a human face and an animal heart." Rather than "a code name given to oneself," it is more like a curse from others.
"Then how about you name me one," Aleister, who inherited Aiwass's naming ability, said directly, "How about you name it [Sin]? [Crimson]?"
"...Just call it Snake."
Aiwass pondered for a long time before replying: "He is the son of the Snake Father... This title is most appropriate."
"Then it's called [Orochi]."
Aleister emphasized.
Aiwass nodded helplessly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy. Also, remember to call me fox."
"——Do you still want to call me Fox?"
Aleister questioned: "All the 'fox character' in you comes from me, right? Look, now that I have been cut out by you, where do you still have any fox-like cunning and bad intentions? That sparkling glow on your body
The light is almost blinding my eyes."
Aleister was obviously very excited today... She put on her most luxurious and formal clothes, and directly called Aiwass by his real name, playing some jokes that only she and Aiwass knew.
But Aiwass also knew why Aleister was like this.
Because this is the first time they have participated in the promotion ceremony at the same time.
——If nothing else happens, this will also be the last time.
So Aiwass is also very gentle and tries his best to meet all Aleister's needs: "So what do you think I should be called? I've already given you a name... Now it's your turn to give me a name.
.”
"Your name is [Sun]."
Aleister said without hesitation.
"Why?"
Aiwass is a little strange.
He thought that Aleister might call him some random name.
But before Aleister could answer, new candidates began to appear in other positions.
The first person who appeared was an old man wearing a mage's robe, holding a staff, and with white hair and a white beard.
——Even before he said a word, Aiwass already guessed that this old man should be a great mage.
Immediately afterwards, two more people appeared almost at the same time.
One of them was wearing a tan linen robe that even the peasants of Xing Antimony had not worn for a long time. He looked like an ascetic. Not only were there patches of different colors on it, but there were also dots of oil stains... That
It doesn't look like clothes at all, but like a rag that has been used for a long time.
The man's olive green damp hair spread out behind him like seaweed. Combined with the "retro fashion clothes" that also gave people a damp feeling, it gave people a subtle feeling of nausea.
Aiwass didn't react at all, but Aleister frowned and leaned back - even though he was far away, she felt as if she smelled some kind of strange smell when she looked at the man's clothes.
During the promotion ceremony, one should either wear clothes that are formal enough to express one's attitude, or wear clothes that can be used to disguise one's identity.
...But this is the first time I have seen this style of clothing.
The other person is a woman in her twenties or thirties.
She looks extremely determined, sits upright, and has an awe-inspiring temperament.
"……oh?"
And the Archmage seemed to recognize their identities.
The old man's body leaned forward slightly, and his tone was a little subtle: "You..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Wow, Narcissus has just established the country, does it already disown Lalo?"
The "rag man" immediately started to fake cry at zero frames, and instantly shocked the old man: "Sandro, old Sandro - ooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"You! This -"
The moment they met, the box was opened in public, and the old mage immediately became angry.
Before he said anything, the "rag man" immediately said quickly: "Why are you so angry, old Sandro? I haven't treated you badly, have I? I've also helped you a lot! Think about it.
Our friendship back then, you even hugged me when I was a kid!"
For a moment, Aiwass even felt that he had heard the wrong thing.
"Lalo! You clown—"
The old mage finally reacted and shouted angrily: "I have never provoked you! I am not in the same group as those Children of the Moon!"
He was only halfway through speaking when another person appeared in the sixth position.
It was a woman with beautiful long brown curly hair, wearing a palace dress that was no less gorgeous than Aleister's.
As soon as she appeared, she heard the old mage's voice.
"——Child of the Moon?"
Her voice suddenly became less friendly: "What's wrong with you, Son of the Moon, mage?"
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 anyone.
If you dare to say one more thing, even if I don't get promoted this time, I will kill you if you get in!
This is the confidence of the Children of the Moon as path creatures - they do not need to study and study, they can gradually increase the level of the path as they grow, and can advance easily. Even if they fail, they will only need to wait a few days to recover.
There is a long life, you can wait slowly.
And their souls and bodies are integrated into one, and as long as they are not completely dead, they can be healed again in the material world. Reflected injuries such as missing arms and legs do not matter at all, as long as they suck some blood to make up for it.
Even if you are really dead, if you really can't come out, just kill yourself first - since you have died once, you will not die again. After that, at worst, you can use the ashes of other children of the moon to fill in the incompleteness of the soul and you can stay in place.
resurrection.
Everyone else is afraid of death, but she is not afraid of death.
This is also the absolute advantage of the Moon Son 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 mage could reply, the rag man who called himself "Lalo" suddenly shouted in a super high voice, directly covering up the voices of everyone else and even making the Moon Child tremble.
Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Aiwass felt that her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at "Ralo the Rag Man" with an unbelievable look.
——Is this person sick?!
Lalo, on the other hand, did not hesitate and shouted straight from the bottom of his heart: "I'll fuck your mother!!!"
"……ah?"
Andrea was shocked.
Although she was being scolded, her mind went blank for a moment - because she had no idea why she was being scolded by a stranger.
In an instant, even the preparation room for the entire promotion ceremony fell silent.
And there seemed to be light in Aleister's eyes.
She looked at all this, looking excited and excited——
