Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 312 What kind of monsters are these?

It's like turning into a fetus and returning to the mother's womb.

It's like relaxing your whole body and soaking in a hot spring... The moist and warm liquid makes people so fascinated that even their mood becomes peaceful.

When Aiwass regained consciousness, he heard the sound of the tide rising and falling around him.

The strong smell of blood came along with the sounds of people talking.

He opened his eyes and saw a pitch-black waning moon hanging above the black-red sky.

Under their feet, the sea of ​​blood was foaming with white foam, ebbing and flowing like the sea under the moonlight.

In the middle of them is a huge brass machine dancer.She folded her hands in front of her and stood elegantly motionless.There are butterfly-like wings on the back, and these wings are 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 directly let the shadow demon attach to his body and cover his whole body.

Instead, he adopted another method of disguise——

Anyway, Aiwass's hair is very long now, but it is usually tied into a ponytail.But now he untied his hair, let it all down, and put on Lily's clothes again - at this time, the shadow demon covered it again, and Aiwass only saw the black afterimage that looked like "the character has not been unlocked" , looks like a female.

Lily, on the other hand, adopted the opposite disguise.

She put on Aiwass' men's coat and a large-brimmed hat on her head - Aiwass happened to be wearing a gray trench coat and top hat when he went out this time.Now it's just in use for Lily.

Although Lily's long curly gray hair still hung unobstructed around her waist, she cleverly changed her posture to that of a man.Just looking at the way she crossed her fingers, leaned back against the back of the chair, and folded her legs, it was difficult to think that "Mr. Gray" at this moment was a woman.

Because according to Aiwass' 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 after all, it is still a secret unknown to outsiders.

——Maybe 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 doesn't have to do anything, not even put on makeup - the face can't be seen clearly during the promotion ceremony, and the voice will be distorted to a certain extent. You can only judge the other person's true identity from posture, clothing, tone of voice, hairstyle, etc.

As for speaking——

Originally, Aleister was also responsible for speaking.

Now it was just a matter of adjusting his voice from the dry, hoarse, monster-like voice to that of the assassin lady.

compared to that...

Aiwass raised his head and looked at the crowd with interest.

——He and Lily were actually the seventh and eighth replacements.

Before they showed up, six people had arrived.Judging by the enthusiasm of the conversation, it seemed like they had been there for a while.

This shows that the home venue for this ceremony is most likely not in Avalon.

The ninth person who appeared immediately after Lily was an old lady who looked short and skinny, wearing a green big-brimmed hat.

Her body was stooped and shrunken, and she did not look human.More like goblins.

When the six people from before saw everyone gathered, the man sitting first among them looked over and asked with interest: "Which one of you three...is beyond the path?"

"Before you ask someone a question, you should introduce yourself first, right?"

Aiwass did not open his mouth.

But Miss Assassin Chloe's sweet and gentle voice was as sweet and gentle as honey, and there were three echoes, one rough and one sharp.

"It's true, Miss, that's what you said."

The man nodded slightly, very politely.

He put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and said: "I am [Ban], the path of authority."

He looked vigorous and strong.Approximately in his early thirties, his voice was loud and clear.

"[Philosopher]."

The man in second place crossed his arms and said coldly, his attitude in stark contrast to the prohibition.

He looked as cold as winter, with a sense of superiority and arrogance.He must be quite old... Even though he couldn't see his appearance clearly, it seemed that he was already more than half bald.I'm afraid he must be at least 50 or [-] years old.

"You can call me [Stranger], I am still an alchemist who is still in the apprenticeship stage."

The man, also in his 40s, replied gently.

"I am [Forging Furnace], dedicated to the road, hello to you."

The fourth person to speak was a dwarf sister—or maybe an aunt or grandma.Because dwarves generally suffer from premature aging, it is difficult to tell the specific age.But her attitude was quite friendly.

"I'm Janet."

The next person who spoke was a woman who seemed to be using her real name.

She smiled and said: "Janet Boyman, the path of love...but I am not a witch, little sisters?"

"...ghost."

The sixth person who spoke lowered his head, looking like he was about to fall asleep, and made a hoarse, low voice.

Aiwass was silent for a while and tilted his head slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Chloe's voice came out: "Alai. You can call me Alai. As you can see, I am a transcendent."

"Ash."

Lily used her falsetto skills to produce a low, husky voice.

Because she only pronounced one word, the waiting hall was silent for a long time.

Finally, the old lady wearing a cuckold finally woke up and spoke in a sharp voice: "I am... the Hatter. The path of beauty." It was indeed a new moon ceremony.Aiwass thought.

This is all bullshit and snake-god stuff...

He glanced over and saw at least three people opening trumpets.

Being able to bring in myself and Lily from the team to fill in... It means that the person who presided over the ceremony judged that if the transcendent from the free team was brought in at this time, the strength would no longer be at the same level as them.This is unfair to them.

There are indeed many trumpets illustrating the New Moon Ceremony.

Ban, Philosopher and Stranger are most likely in the same team, and all three of them may be alts.

It’s hard to say what the forge is, but I guess it’s a dwarf blacksmith.This auxiliary profession makes it easy to find teammates.

One of the teammates she found was Janet Boyman.Yinhun was not sure if he was from their group.

Aiwass knew this man.

Janet is actually an Avalonian.

A well-known goblin scholar - she entered the goblin kingdom once and gained healing powers from the goblins... an ability to create something similar to a witch's ointment.However, this ability is very unstable, sometimes working but not working, and sometimes turning into poison or mischief potion.

However, she was ultimately arrested not because she died as a doctor, but because as a journalist, she made public political remarks many times - including but not limited to "The royal family is being killed one after another and the royal family is not in a hurry at all, which shows that this It's the queen who wants to use this method to pass the throne to someone." "Avalon actually can't beat the Star Antimony at all. As long as the Star Antimony people come over, they will definitely break into pieces at a touch." "The Griffin is useless at all. It's not as good as Scooting comments such as "Motorcycles benefit the people" and "Avalon's alchemy actually has no development at all, and those technological breakthroughs are completely useless."

Although it now seems that there is a lot of truth in it... But in fact, she doesn't have any evidence and it's just pure guessing.

And she will also write reports that are definitely not true.

For example, she claimed many times that the reason why Sherlock Hermes became a famous detective was because he arranged those cases by himself.For some reason, she was very hostile to Shylock and criticized him publicly many times.

But later she suffered a disaster because of her talkativeness - she was caught and put on a treadmill for six months, and after she came out, she ran to Xingzhi.

If these six people are all Star Antimony people, then it can explain why the first sentence they spoke was to directly ask who among us is the transcendent.

The Haunter is mostly a Twilight Path, and the Stranger is an Alchemist.These three paths on Star Antimony’s side are absolutely mainstream, just like the authority and dedication on Avalon’s side.It is basically impossible to fill the position.

If there is no transcendent among the three of them, it means that someone among the remaining people must have lied - and because of this, Aiwass can confirm that these six people are not at least on the same team.

A maximum of three people can succeed in the New Moon Ceremony, but failure is easy to pay the price.So there can only be a team of three people at most.

These six people have to be divided into two or three teams, but they are all on Star Antimony.That's why the ceremony recruited himself, Lily, and the "Hatter" who was most likely a goblin to fill the spot.

——After leaving the radiation range of Avalon, even the proportion of alien races increased.

Aiwass tested it and put his hand on the armrest.The shadow obscured Aiwass's movements, and cards appeared one after another in his palm.

[Shadow Blade], [Shadow Cloak], [Earthbound Spirit].

——As expected, the Butterfly of Contrary Flame could not be summoned.

I just don't know whether it's because the Sin Cards can't be used, or because the Butterfly of Flame, which is assigned to the path of devotion, can't be used.

This is also simple.After the little butterfly reaches the fifth energy level, Aiwass can use her power to create some weaker cards.

Just wait until the next New Moon Ceremony to advance and see if these cards drawn from the little butterfly can be used.

After everyone introduced themselves, the sweet sound of the music box suddenly came from the waiting room filled with the smell of blood.

The brass dancer in the middle flaps her wings slightly and dances in the light music.

The dance immediately attracted everyone's attention and everyone was addicted to it.Just watching this dance makes me feel spiritually healed.

Her dancing became more intense and more frenzied.Finally she opened her eyes, and those eyes, like the most beautiful emeralds, were so beautiful that it was dazzling.

Finally, her dance gradually calmed down.After the dance ended, she closed her eyes again and returned to the original state, motionless.

"I am Terpsichore."

Her ethereal voice rings in everyone's heart: "The Muse of the Twin Mirror."

Other than that, she didn't say a word.

[This time there are seven advanced people with multiple paths, but please note: in the advancement ceremony, only advanced path abilities and extraordinary items corresponding to the paths made by yourself are allowed to be used]

[This ritual is limited to sixteen hours, and the ratio to reality is eight to one]

[You must survive until the end of the ceremony, or complete special victory conditions during early settlement]

[Because this ceremony is a new moon ceremony, the kill reward points are calculated. When the ceremony is completed and settled, the winner will be selected based on the points held from highest to lowest]

[The regular winners of this ceremony are three people, and there are special victory conditions]

[The special victory conditions for this ceremony are: "Secret Reflection", "Twin Victory"]

[Secret Reflection: All advanced players in this ceremony have the opposite gender to the characters they play.When you discover the true identities of all the remaining advanced people except yourself and do not let your true identity be discovered by any advanced people, you will win directly regardless of the victory conditions]

[Twin Victory: There must be at least two advanced players at the end of the ceremony. If only one survives, it will be directly judged as a loss and the two dead advanced players with the most points will be selected to win]

[The difficulty of this ritual is "difficult challenge". Real death during the ritual will cause ninety days of weakness in reality, 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 Mirrors']

Immediately afterwards, Therpsy Core paused.Singing softly like telling a story:

[1580, Herasl Empire...]

　update completed!
　　Ah, following on from the previous chapter, I have been breathing hot air from my nose for three days, and I haven’t felt better after taking ibuprofen for two days.Every night when I go to bed, I feel that my body is very hot, a little cold, and sweating like crazy. But when I get up, my body temperature is normal. It's a very standard 36.5, which is perfect.

　　After I woke up today, I drank some antiviral oral liquid. My dry throat problem has basically disappeared. I now have a cough, but it’s not severe.The nasal discharge has also begun to increase, the nasal congestion has reduced, and the most important thing is that although I am tired, 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 it would be worse if I go to the hospital and get infected by other people.

　　But if you’re still not feeling well when you get up tomorrow, you’ll have to go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon. On the 30th, the operations officer Guan Guan will come to play with the cat, and I have to brace myself not to fall down——
