Chapter 320 What Kind of Monsters Are These?
Chapter 312 What kind of monsters are these?
It was like turning into a fetus and returning to the mother's womb.
It was like relaxing the whole body and mind and soaking in a hot spring...The wet and warm liquid made people so fascinated that even their mood became peaceful.
When Aiwass regained consciousness again, he heard the rustling sound of the tides around him.
A strong smell of blood came with the sound of people talking.
He opened his eyes and saw a dark crescent moon hanging above the black and red sky.
And under their feet, the sea of blood was foaming with white foam, rising and falling like the sea under the moonlight.
In the middle of them was a huge brass mechanical dancer. She stood still gracefully with her hands folded in front of her. There were butterfly-like wings behind her, but these wings were not biological insect wings, but feathers made of countless extremely thin gears and metal sheets.
Aiwass and Lily appeared almost at the same time.
This time Aiwass did not let the shadow demon attach to himself directly to cover his whole body.
Instead, he adopted another disguise method.
Anyway, Aiwass's hair is already very long now, but it is usually tied into a ponytail. Now he untied his hair, let it all down, and put on Lily's clothes. At this time, the shadow demon covered Aiwass again, and Aiwass only saw the black afterimage that looked like "character not unlocked", and it looked like a woman.
Lily took the opposite disguise.
She changed into Aiwass's men's coat and put on a wide-brimmed hat on her head. It happened that Aiwass brought a gray windbreaker and a top hat when he went out this time. Now it was just right for Lily to use it.
Although Lily's curly gray hair still fell to her waist without any cover, she cleverly changed her posture to that of a man. Just looking at her posture with her fingers crossed, leaning back on the back of the chair, and crossing her legs, it is difficult to think that the "Mr. Gray" at this moment is a woman.
Because according to Aiwass's 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 this is still a secret unknown to outsiders.
——Perhaps 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 didn't have to do anything, not even makeup - the face couldn't be seen clearly in the promotion ceremony, and the voice would be distorted to a certain extent. The true identity of the other party could only be judged from the posture, clothing, tone and hairstyle.
As for speaking——
Originally, Aleister was also responsible for speaking.
Now it's just that he has to adjust from that dry and hoarse, monster-like voice to the voice of the assassin lady.
Compared to that...
Aiwass looked up and looked at the crowd with interest.
——He and Lily were actually the seventh and eighth replacements.
Before they appeared, six people had arrived. Judging from the enthusiasm of the conversation, they seemed to have been there for a while.
This shows that the main venue of this ceremony is very likely not in Avalon.
The ninth person who appeared right after Lily was an old lady who looked short and skinny, wearing a green wide-brimmed hat.
Her body was hunched and shrunken, and she didn't look like a human. She looked more like a goblin.
When the six people saw that everyone was there, the man sitting in the first seat looked over and asked with interest: "Among the three of you... who is beyond the path?"
"Before asking people questions, you should introduce yourself first, right?"
Evans didn't open his mouth.
But the assassin lady Chloe's voice, as sweet and gentle as honey, echoed with three layers of roughness and sharpness.
"Indeed, Miss, you are right."
The man nodded slightly, very politely.
He put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and said: "I am [Prohibition], the path of authority."
He looked vigorous and strong. He was about thirty years old, and his voice was loud and clear.
"[Philosopher]."
The second man said coldly with his hands on his chest, his attitude formed a sharp contrast with the prohibition.
He looked as cold as winter, with a sense of superiority and arrogance. He should be quite old... Although his face could not be seen clearly, it seemed that he was already half bald. He should be at least 40 or 50 years old.
"You can call me [Stranger], and I am still an alchemist in the apprenticeship stage."
The man who was also in his 40s answered gently.
"I am [Forge], the Path of Dedication, hello."
The fourth person to speak was a dwarf sister - or maybe an aunt or grandmother. Because dwarves generally age prematurely, it is difficult to tell her exact age. But her attitude was quite friendly.
"I am Janet."
The next person to speak was a woman who seemed to use her real name.
She smiled and said: "Janet Boiman, the Path of Love... But I am not a witch, little sisters?"
"... Ghost."
The sixth person to speak lowered his head, looking like he was about to fall asleep, and made a hoarse and low voice.
And Aiwass was silent for a while and tilted his head slightly.
Then, Chloe's voice came out: "Alai. You can call me Alai. As you can see, I am a Transcendent."
"Gray."
Lily used her false voice skills to make a low and hoarse voice.
Because she only read out one word, the waiting hall was silent for a long time.
Finally, the old lady with a green hat finally woke up and spoke sharply: "I am... a hat maker. The Path of Beauty."
It really deserves to be the New Moon Ritual. Aiwas thought.
What kind of monsters are these...
He glanced over and saw at least three people with trumpets.
Being able to pull in himself and Lily who were in the team to fill in...it means that the host of the ceremony judged that if the Transcendents who were in a scattered row were pulled in at this time, their strength would not be the same level as them. This is unfair to them.
It means that there are indeed many trumpets in the New Moon Ritual.
The ban, the philosopher and the stranger are probably in the same team, and all three of them may be trumpets.
It's hard to say about the forge, but it should be a dwarf blacksmith. It is easy to find teammates for this kind of auxiliary profession.
One of the teammates she found was Janet Boiman. The ghost was not sure if she was from their group.
Aiwass knew this person.
Janet was actually an Avalonian.
A well-known fairy scholar - she entered the fairy kingdom once and gained healing ability from the fairies... an ability to make witch ointment. But this ability is very unstable, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it turns into poison or prank potion.
However, she was arrested not because she killed people, but because she was a journalist and made many public political speeches - including but not limited to "The royal family was killed one after another and the royal family was not in a hurry, which shows that the queen wanted to pass the throne to someone in this way", "Avalon can't beat the Star Antimony at all, as long as the Star Antimony people come, they will definitely break at a touch", "Griffins are useless, not as good as motorcycles", "Avalon's alchemy actually has no development at all, and those technological breakthroughs are useless" and other sharp comments.
Although it seems that there are many truths in it now...but in fact, she has no evidence and is just guessing.
And she will also write some reports that are definitely not true.
For example, she has repeatedly claimed that the reason why Sherlock Hermes can become a famous detective is because those cases were arranged by him. For some reason, she has a very strong hostility towards Sherlock and has publicly criticized him many times.
But later she suffered a disaster because of her talkativeness - she was arrested and stepped on the treadmill for six months, and after she came out, she ran to Xingtan.
If these six people are all Xingtan people, then it can explain why the first sentence they said was to directly ask who among us is the transcendent.
The ghosts are mostly the Dusk Path, and the Stranger is the Alchemist. These three paths on the Xingtan side are absolutely mainstream, just like the authority and dedication on the Avalon side. It is basically impossible to fill the position.
If there is no transcendent among the three of them, it means that one of the remaining people must be lying - and because of this, Aiwas can confirm that these six people are at least not a team.
The New Moon Ritual can win with a maximum of three people, and failure is easy to pay a price. So at most, there can only be three people in a team.
These six people should be divided into two or three teams, but they are all in Star Antimony. Therefore, the ritual will capture myself, Lily, and this "Hatter" who is most likely a goblin to fill in.
——After leaving the radiation range of Avalon, even the proportion of alien races has increased.
Aiwass tried it and put his hand on the armrest. The shadow covered Aiwass's movements, and cards emerged in his palm.
[Shadow Blade], [Shadow Cloak], [Earthbound Spirit].
——Sure enough, the Flame of the Rebellion Butterfly cannot be summoned.
It is not clear whether all the sin cards cannot be used, or the Flame of the Rebellion Butterfly assigned to the Path of Devotion cannot be used.
This is also simple. When the little butterfly reaches the fifth energy level, Aiwas can draw her power to make some weaker cards.
Just wait until the next time the New Moon Ritual is advanced, and see if these cards drawn from the little butterfly can be used.
After everyone introduced themselves, the pleasant sound of a music box suddenly came from the waiting room filled with the smell of blood.
The brass dancer in the middle flapped her wings slightly and danced to the light music.
The dance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was immersed in it. Just watching this dance, you feel that your spirit has been healed.
Her dance became more and more intense and frantic. Finally, she opened her eyes, and her eyes, like the most beautiful emeralds, were so beautiful that they dazzled people.
Finally, her dance gradually calmed down. 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."
Other than that, she didn't say anything more.
[This time, seven advanced players have multiple paths, but please note: in the advanced ceremony, only advanced path abilities and extraordinary items of the corresponding path made by yourself are allowed to be used]
[The time limit of this ceremony is 16 hours, and the ratio with reality is 8 to 1]
[You must survive until the end of the ceremony, or complete the special victory conditions during the early settlement]
[Because this ceremony is a new moon ceremony, the kill bonus points are calculated. When the ceremony ends and the settlement is made, the winner is selected from the highest to the lowest points held]
[There are three regular winners in this ceremony, and there are special victory conditions]
[The special victory conditions of this ceremony are: "Secret Reflection" and "Twin Victory"]
[Secret Reflection: All the advanced players in this ceremony are of the opposite gender to the characters they play. When you see through the true identities of all the advanced players except yourself and do not let your true identity be seen by any advanced player, you will win directly regardless of the victory conditions]
[Twin Victory: At the end of the ceremony, there must be at least two advanced players. If only one person survives, it will be directly judged as a loss and the two advanced players with the most points who have died will be selected as the winners]
[The difficulty of this ceremony is "difficult challenge". Real death in the ceremony will cause weakness for 90 days in reality, with a small probability of causing soul damage and a very small probability of causing disability]
[The dream of this ceremony is constructed by "Amber", and the script and bonus details are handled by "Twin Mirror"]
Immediately afterwards, Terpsichore paused. Chanting softly like telling a story:
[1580, Helasar Empire...]
Update completed!
Ah, continuing from the last chapter, I have been breathing hot air from my nose for three days, and I haven't recovered after taking ibuprofen for two days. Every night when I go to bed, I feel very hot, a little cold, and sweating crazily, but after getting up, my body temperature is normal, a very standard 5, amazing.
After getting up today, I drank some antiviral oral liquid, and the problem of dry throat was basically gone. I started coughing instead, but the cough was not severe. I started to have more snot, and the nasal congestion was relieved. And the most important thing is that although I am weak, I don't have a headache or fever... It's really weird...
Because I don't have a headache, I don't want to go to the hospital. I always feel that if I go to the hospital and get infected by other people, it will be worse.
But if I don't get better when I get up tomorrow, I have to go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon. On the 30th, the operation officer Guan Guan will come to play with the cat, and I have to stand up and not fall down——
