Chapter 380 David's Promise

David did not come directly with the Great Guardian, which was within Aiwas's expectations.

The child was quite sensible and knew the importance of the matter. He could not come to the interrogation of such an important matter whenever he wanted.

The Great Guardian took the initiative to ask "Aleister" to meet David because he had confirmed that Aleister Crowley could be their friend. He was relieved to let David come to see her.

Although Aleister would still be in Avalon, they would not expel her directly-but after all, they took off the title of "Royal Agent" that they had given her. Regardless of whether Aleister cared about this identity or not, it was considered that they were not decent enough.

They would not rush to invite her back, nor did they have the face to ask Aiwas to call her back.

In other words, although they maintained a friendly relationship, there was also a possibility... this was the last time they contacted Aleister.

It was from this perspective that the Great Guardian remembered that David wanted to meet Miss Aleister.

Considering that this might be the last time David saw 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 very light knock on the door of the interrogation room in the side hall of the arbitration hall.

Three knocks. It was like a shy student knocking on the door of the head teacher.

Seeing no response from inside, the person outside the door seemed to become more hesitant, knocking three times more slowly and lightly. If Aleister was not the only one in the room who was dozing with her eyes slightly closed... If she was chatting with someone else, she might not hear this overly polite knock.

"Just come in."

Aleister couldn't help but say, "I can't go over to open the door for you."

"Sorry..."

A panicked and childish voice came from the door: "I just want..."

David Barton pushed open the heavy door with force, and saw Aleister with his hands and feet tied in the dim room.

There was no other light source in the room, and the corridor was also dark. Even if the door was opened, not much light leaked out.

Although this met the normal standards for imprisonment, it actually gave Aleister a chance to escape from prison - in this environment, although her personal extraordinary power was sealed, the Shadow Demon could tear her shackles at any time and take her away.

In the dim room, only the silver-white triangles bound on Aleister's hands and feet were shining. She folded her hands in front of her, and her feet were tightly together.

The silver-white light spread out rhythmically. Like the ripples reflected in the lake, reflected on her face, the quiet and noble beauty made David subconsciously hold his breath.

Aleister raised his lowered eyes slightly and looked at David at the door, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The scarlet eyes made him subconsciously take a half step back, but soon he felt a special attraction again.

Looking at David standing at the door, he stood there and stared at himself. Miss Aleister, who had been waiting for more than an hour, tilted her head slightly and sighed softly: "You are 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 was so slow or quibble, but frankly admitted his mistake. He just looked a little scared, like a kitten or puppy that made a mistake and shrank and dared not get close.

"Come closer, there is a chair opposite."

Aleister said leisurely: "Or do you just want to come and see me and leave... right, Mr. 'Knight'?"

Looking at Aleister's half-smile, David hurried over.

He sat upright in the seat before the Great Guardian, with a serious and serious expression.

From Aleister's perspective, he felt that the father and son overlapped in the illusion.

"...Miss Aleister."

He nodded politely and respectfully: "Hello, it's our first meeting."

"You can just call me Aleister."

Aleister chuckled and said: "After all, this is not the first time we have met, right? 'The Active Barton'?"

This is the self-proclaimed name David once said in the promotion ceremony. But now that Aleister read it out, it is somewhat teasing.

Now that Aleister read it out, only David's cheeks flushed. He felt as if his face and neck were feverish, and felt a strong sense of shame.

——If he had known this, he would not have said this title at the beginning!

"...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 the time that you don't have to worry about being arrested; even if you are arrested, I can release you directly."

David was obviously a little ashamed, and there was a little sadness on his face: "But I couldn't do it, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

He said, raised his head again and said seriously: "I also asked my father, but my father said that this matter needs to be decided by Lady Ligeia... I will ask Lady Ligeia later!"

Aleister hissed softly, and recalled for a long time before finally remembering that sentence.

That was during the promotion ceremony.

It was a promise David made to her when he thought she was "Mr. Aleister".

At that time, David asked Aiwas very naively how he could transfer to the Path of Transcendence... The result directly shocked Aiwas.

Let's not talk about the legality of the Path of Transcendence. Most people can't get the conditions for changing to a spellcaster, and the main factor for a demon is talent and qualifications. The only job that can be taken is a demonologist. And if you want to change to a demonologist, you have to join the Noble Red - how can this be tolerated?

So Aiwas persuaded him earnestly for a while.

- Even if you have the adaptability to the Path of Transcendence in your heart, you don't necessarily have to take this path immediately, kid!

This is like a child who wants to apply for a major such as environmental engineering or bioengineering. You can think about it, but you still have to consider the problem of employment after graduation.

Not to mention that David is still initiating a major life consultation with a "netizen" he met for the first time, and even has the intention of avoiding his parents and secretly changing his path... As a mature and reliable adult, it is very normal for Aiwas to help stop it.

It's not that I have to stop you, but you must think clearly about such a big thing. You must never make a decision on your own when you are impulsive.

Later, when he found out that David was only fifteen years old, Aiwas suddenly realized it.

...Ah, no wonder. This makes sense.

And the path is harder to turn back than the university major - if you choose the wrong major, you can change majors or take classes to study by yourself, and you can also work in a cross-major.

But the path, once you choose it, you can never turn back.

As long as the level of a certain extraordinary profession reaches two levels, enters the first energy level, and obtains the path characteristics of the pillar god, there is no way back. If you decide on the second path at a young age, it will be too late to regret it in the future.

Aiwas only felt that he did what he should do at that time - if he deceived people to become a demon scholar, it would be too unethical. Not to mention that he was originally an enemy of Noble Red, and it was impossible for him to send people there.

Fortunately, David is a rare child who is not too bad and can listen to others. He obviously listened to Aiwas's words seriously, and understood and accepted Aiwas's advice. And realized that "Mr. Aleister" was friendly to him.

So he invited "Mr. Aleister" at that time. He said that if you come to Glass Island in the future, you can go to him, and he will ask his parents to entertain this benefactor. If you are caught, you can ask your parents to help release you, and you don’t have to worry about the illegality of transcending the path.

——Because it was a conversation in a dream, Aleister had long forgotten it.

It was only now that David mentioned it again that she recalled that it did happen.

...But to be honest, Aleister didn’t really take it seriously at the time.

It looked like a polite remark of "I will treat you to a meal when I have the chance in the future." After all, this was the first time they met, and neither of them knew each other's age, gender, identity, appearance, name... It was probably equivalent to an online friend who had met for less than 24 hours.

——Who would have thought that David was serious at the time!

He could remember such details in this promotion ceremony, which means that after completing the promotion, David immediately found a notebook and wrote down the promise he made. After that, he watched it repeatedly when he had nothing to do, so that he could remember it firmly.

At that moment, Aleister was moved, but also a little worried.

David's serious and simple character always makes him feel cheated by other bad people with sweet words...

Originally, Aleister wanted to tease the child. But now he can't bear it.

Because even if it's just a joke, he might take it seriously and remember it for a long time.

Don't bully such a child too harshly...
