When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 586

Chapter 586: Chapter 10 Akpolis_2 Chapter 586: Chapter 10 Akpolis_2 It could be said to be an excellent material for the ritual.

There was even a time when she almost became the vessel for the descent of the Blood Celestial Marshal, but it was only due to the players’ destruction and interference that the person who kidnapped her became the vessel for the Ring of Ouroboros ritual instead.

...So the Moon Princess only became a Transcendent in 1898, Aiwass realized.

After all, in the waiting hall for the advancement ceremony, one simply couldn’t make out the features of the others...

And during their first encounter, Cheese was almost the last one to arrive, just one person ahead of the woman called “Basil.” The ceremony began right after she introduced herself.

And after Cheese had introduced herself, the Elf youth in the white lab coat also spoke up, “I am called Physician, Path of Adaptation.”

So Stranger and Grapes introduced themselves once more.@@@@

At this time, the man who was leading the three of them finally spoke up in a deep voice, “I’m Counselor, a Mage.

...

From Star Antimony.”

“I am Olive, a Curse Ritual Magician from Parthia.”

The old man laughed heartily, his tone gentle and kind, “Don’t worry, not scum like a Demon Scholar.”

“Lulu, a Bard on the Path of Beauty.”

Realizing Aiwass wanted to hide his identity, Isabel went along with it and lied to conceal her true profession.

She said with a beaming smile, “I can sing songs for you to listen to.”

“Cursing Sorcerer isn’t much stronger than a Demon Scholar, old man,”

Director Kent retorted casually.

Clearly, he had a strong antagonism towards the Path of Transcendence, though his hostility towards Isabel was not as evident.

He glanced at the three cloaked figures and countered, “From the Necromancy Academy?”

“Yes.”

Counselor looked up, calmly replied, and countered, “From the Supervisory Bureau?”

“That’s right, I’m a pirate, an Inspector from Avalon.

But I won’t become your shield,”

the “Pirate” asserted with unwavering determination.

This was actually quite normal; the others didn’t intervene—The war between Avalon and Star Antimony had started several months ago, and even the Irisflower People should be aware that the two countries were currently in a state of hostility.

As an official armed force, an Inspector, and possibly even a military man, it was natural to hold animosity towards people from Star Antimony.

Not to mention, that was the Necromancy Academy—

Most people would have a natural aversion to Necromancers who played with the dead.

Within the “Spirit Summoning Tower” of Star Antimony’s Necromancy Academy, all were such monsters who manipulated corpses and spirits.

All three of them were wearing the same black robes, clearly, they had no intention to hide their identities.

And Isabel guessed their purpose for doing so.

This didn’t quite seem like a student.

—A professor from the Necromancy Academy?

Aiwass speculated about the other’s identity and smiled as he started to play peacemaker, “Ladies and gentlemen, there’s no need to be so confrontational.

After all, when you go in, you might not meet your teammates directly anyway.

“You can call me ‘Fox’.

I am a Priest of the Nine Pillars Divine Church, adept at group healing and dispelling.

I can promise that any request for my healing will be treated equally by anyone present.”

“That’s the Hippocratic Oath, right?”

The adjacent “Physician” nodded in agreement, “To treat everyone to the best of my ability, not to provide or sell poison to anyone...”

Cheese asked curiously, “Then big brother, does that mean you can’t attack other people?”

“Why do you ask, cutie?”

The Physician smiled, “The Hippocratic Oath isn’t a suicide pact—if someone attacks me or my companions, of course, I’ll strike back first.

But if he’s still breathing after the fight and he calls to me for help, then I’ll bandage him and stop the bleeding for free, at least so he doesn’t just die.

“If I see two people attacking each other, and neither has killed the other, they will both get treated.

“I’m not a soldier, nor a Guardian.

I don’t interfere with the outcome of battles, and I don’t favor any party.

“They all have only one name—patient, injured, someone in need of healing.

And I’m the one who can provide that healing.”

As he spoke, he gave a respectful and polite salute to Aiwass, “But my healing abilities are far inferior to yours.

I hope we can work together pleasantly.”

“Well said...”

Just then, an old and hoarse voice suddenly arose from the middle of the room.

It was a statue of an ancient and diminutive Lizardfolk.

But compared to modern Lizardfolk, he looked more like a “Serpentfolk”—his body was covered in serpent scales, and he held a staff twined with black and green snakes.

It was unknown when he appeared or when he became animate.

Only then did the ascenders suddenly realize that none of them had noticed the “Presider” in the center!

It was as if everyone had forgotten that the ceremony had a Presider.

“I will preside over this ritual; I am the apostle of the Lord of Scalefeather...

The ‘Hippocrates’ you were just discussing is my teacher, Akpolis.”

The unprepossessing old man with snake scales said slowly.
