Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 828 The Great Snake and the Sun

"Evans, Aiwass...

"Hey, Superman, wake up, I'm Shafrin..."

In a daze, Aiwass suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the dim crimson moonlight, the sea of ​​blood made a rhythmic tidal sound.

Not far from Aiwass was a petite girl with waist-length black hair.

In the preparation room, as usual, her face was not clearly visible. However, the golden and red robe she wore gave her a very luxurious feeling. There were a lot of jewels tied on her head, neck, and wrists... It was more like the princess was attending some grand banquet rather than a promotion ceremony.

For her, this stone chair, which was so spacious that even an elf could sit on 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 she saw Aiwass looking up at her, she immediately laughed as clear as a silver bell.

"Long time no see, Aiwass. Of course, maybe not that long - if your arrival in Avalon can be counted as our meeting."

Aleister teased boldly.

"Alai..."

Just as Aiwas was about to say something, he suddenly realized something: "You came in using No. 14's body? And the Shadow Fiend can no longer disguise you... In that case, is it not suitable for you to use the identity of Aleister? After all, to you, the name Aleister is your real name."

"Just any name will do."

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 Avalonian, it also means "beast" or "a person with a human face and a beastly heart". Rather than being a "code name given to oneself", it is more like a curse from others.

"Why don't you give me a name?" Aleister, who inherited Aiwass's naming ability, said in a low voice, "How about [Sin]? [Scarlet]?"

"…Just call me Snake."

Aiwass pondered for a long time before answering: "Son of the Snake Father... This title is the most appropriate."

"Then call it [Big Snake]."

Aleister stressed.

Aiwass nodded helplessly: "It's all right, as long as you are happy. Also, remember to call me Fox."

"——Do you still want to call me Fox?"

Aleister questioned, "Your fox character comes from me, right? Now that you've cut me out, you still have a bit of foxy cunning and bad intentions. The glittering glow on your body is almost blinding my eyes."

Aleister was obviously unusually excited today... She wore her most luxurious and formal clothes, called Aiwass by his real name, and used some jokes that only she and Aiwass knew.

But Aiwass also knew why Aleister was like this.

Because this was the first time they attended the promotion ceremony at the same time.

——If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time.

So Aiwass was also very gentle, trying his best to meet all of Aleister's needs: "What do you think I should be called? I have 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 was a little strange.

He thought that Aleister might give him some weird name.

But before Aleister could answer, new promotions began to appear in other positions.

The first person to appear was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a wizard's robe and holding a staff.

——Even before he said a word, Aiwass had already guessed that the old man should be a great wizard.

Immediately afterwards, two more people appeared almost at the same time.

One of them was wearing a brown linen robe that even farmers in Xingtan would not wear. He looked like an ascetic. Not only were there patches of different colors on it, but there were also spots of oil stains... It didn't look like clothes at all, but more like a rag that had been used for a long time.

The man's wet olive green hair was like seaweed, spreading out behind him in curls. Combined with the damp retro clothing, it gave people a subtle feeling of nausea. Aiwass didn't react, but Aleister frowned and leaned back tactically - although she was far away, she looked at the man's clothes and felt as if she smelled something strange.

During the promotion ceremony, one can 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've seen this style of dressing.

The other was a woman in her twenties or thirties.

She looked extremely determined, sitting upright with a dignified temperament.

"……oh?"

And the great wizard seemed to recognize their identities.

The old man leaned forward slightly, his tone somewhat subtle: "You..."

"Woo woo woo, Narcissus has just established a country, and it already doesn't recognize old Lalo?"

The "rag man" immediately started with a fake cry and instantly shocked the old man: "Sandro, old Sandro - wooooa ...

“You! This—”

The moment they met, his box was opened in public, and the old wizard was immediately furious.

Before he could say anything, the "rag man" immediately spoke at a very fast speed: "Why are you so distant, old Sandro? I haven't treated you badly, have I? I have helped you a lot! Think about the friendship we had back then. You even hugged me when I was a child!"

For a moment, Aiwass even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

"Lalo! You clown—"

The old wizard finally reacted and shouted angrily: "I never provoked you! I am not in the same group with those Moon Children!"

He had only said half of his words when another person appeared in the sixth position.

She was a woman with beautiful long brown curly hair, wearing a court dress that was just as gorgeous as Aleister's.

As soon as she appeared, she heard the old wizard's voice.

"——Son of the Moon?"

Her voice suddenly became less friendly, "What happened to you, Master?"

Although I haven’t seen the people around me clearly yet, this is also a New Moon Ceremony, so it doesn’t matter if I offend people.

If you dare say one more word, I will kill you as soon as I go in, even if I don’t get promoted this time!
This is the confidence of the Moon Children as Dao creatures - they don't need to study, they can gradually improve their Dao level as they grow up, and they can advance easily. Even if they fail, they can recover after a few days. They have a long life and can wait slowly.

Their souls and bodies were originally integrated, so as long as they were not completely dead, they could be healed again in the material world. Missing arms and legs and other reflected injuries were not a big deal, they could be healed by sucking some blood.

Even if he really died, he would just kill himself first if there was no other way out - since he had died once, he would not die again. After that, at most he could use the ashes of other moon children to fill the missing soul and resurrect on the spot.

Everyone else is afraid of death, but she is not.

This is also the absolute advantage of the Son of the Moon 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 wizard could reply, the rag man who called himself "Lalo" suddenly shouted in a very high voice, directly covering up the voices of everyone else and even scaring the Son of the Moon.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Aiwass felt that her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at "Mop Man Lalo" with an unbelievable look.

——Is this person sick? !
Lalo did not hesitate and shouted out loudly: "Fuck your mother!!!"

"……what?"

Andrea was shocked.

Although she was being scolded, her mind went blank for a moment - because she didn't understand why she was caught and scolded by a stranger.

For a moment, even the preparation room for the entire promotion ceremony fell silent.

And there seemed to be light in Aleister's eyes.

She looked excited and thrilled as she watched all this——

Is it so cool?
This is a game of grudges!
