"Furthermore, you are on the same level as the Triple Crown holders of the major True God churches. If my plan can gain your assistance and approval..."
"...this will give me boundless confidence and courage, and it will also accelerate my growth."
Listening to the increasingly exaggerated flattery from the young junior below the stage, Varna's eyebrow twitched again.
He glanced at the Darkness Emblem on Aaron's left wrist again, thought for a moment, and then nodded slightly, saying, "You may."
After all, Aaron was also a Blessed of the Evernight Goddess. It was possible that by paying a price, he could invite Lady Arianna, that loyal servant of the Evernight Goddess, to act.
It wouldn't matter if outsiders didn't know, but if they found out that their own junior didn't pray to their family's Angel but instead sought help from the Church's Angel...
Wouldn't that be somewhat embarrassing for Him?
Although He disliked trouble and was too lazy to respond to prayers, He still spoke in a majestic voice, "My Honorific name is:"
"The Ruler of the Misty Battlefield;"
"The Master of Weather Changes;"
"The Totem of Flames and Lightning:"
"The Great Varna Weil;"
Aaron carefully memorized this Honorific name, thinking to himself:
The first three lines describe the abilities and symbols of a Sequence 2 Angel of the Hunter Pathway. The fourth line precisely points to the target.
To respond to the Honorific name across the world through the Angelic status.
Hmm... my Honorific name is still more domineering.
Immediately after, Aaron showed an innocent smile to Varna on the stage, which made Varna feel a subtle sense of unease.
Then Aaron lowered his head and softly prayed in ancient Hermes.
"The Ruler of the Misty Battlefield;"
"The Master of Weather Changes;"
"The Totem of Flames and Lightning:"
"The Great Varna Weil;"
Varna's face instantly darkened on the stage, and flames and lightning surged in his brown eyes.
Although Aaron lowered his head, after he finished praying, he still saw a figure in black armor seated on a bronze high-backed chair, with flames and lightning seemingly swirling behind him.
Wait, swirling with flames and lightning!
Aaron cleared his throat, looked up, and saw the brown eyes that seemed to surge with flames and lightning.
Aaron looked at Varna with innocent eyes and said dryly:
"I heard that the Sequence 6 of the Hunter Pathway is called Conspirer."
"Ahem, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to test the effect of this Honorific name."
Varna looked at Aaron below the stage with a face full of black lines and waved his right hand.
The wall patterns lit up, and Aaron felt his vision go dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the entrance of the tunnel.
Varna's majestic voice came from beside his ear: "Hurry up and advance as soon as possible. A great change is coming, and you don't have much time left."
In the empty underground hall, Varna looked at Aaron, who had disappeared from his original spot, put away his stern expression, and muttered to himself with a slight smile.
"Very courageous. He really has the demeanor I had back then."
-----------------
Deep inside the first-floor hall of the Ancestral Tower, at the entrance to the tunnel.
Aaron stood at the entrance of the passage with a bewildered expression. Before he could recover, the tunnel entrance closed behind him.
"Ah, is he that stingy?"
"I just tested the effect of the Honorific name. It's better to be safe than sorry."
"What if the ancestor had a moment of bad humor and gave me a fake Honorific name? Wouldn't I be screwed when I really needed it to hold my ground?"
"Although it was a bit impolite, at least it proved that this Honorific name is real."
"Sigh... The ancestor has survived from the Fourth Epoch until now, but his magnanimity is still a bit small."
Aaron clicked his tongue but didn't dare to say it out loud, only muttering silently in his heart.
Seeing that the passage entrance had closed, Aaron didn't linger and walked towards the high platform in the first-floor hall.
The five demigods on the high platform had not left and were still standing there quietly. Upon seeing Aaron come out, their expressions softened.
The current Duke of East Chester, Gusman Weil, smiled and instantly disappeared from his spot, appearing beside Aaron and patting his shoulder.
"You are the only one from our East Chester family, besides the demigods, who has entered that place."
His tone was full of pride and satisfaction, and he emphasized "East Chester family," seeming to want to confirm something.
The remaining four demigods on the high platform also cast their gazes, with questioning looks.
Aaron instantly understood, smiled, and didn't explain.
He took out the ancient black iron token that Ancestor Varna had given him from his pocket.
Spiritual energy surged into it, and the black iron token emitted a faint light, releasing a strong aura of iron and blood.
The five demigods, including his father Gusman Weil, looked at Aaron with surprise, scrutinizing him.
Then they exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and all revealed satisfied smiles.
After the other four demigods nodded to each other in greeting, they disappeared from their original spots.
Duke Gusman Weil of East Chester looked at Aaron with a smile of relief and pride as he put away the token.
He said with a tone of relief, "The fact that you obtained this token means you have gained the ancestor's recognition."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but rub Aaron's head again, saying with some reluctance:
"You will be going to Backlund soon. Spend more time with your mother and sister when you go back today."
"Avonie misses you very much. She told me yesterday that she also wants to become a Beyonder and wants to go to Backlund with you."
"I refused Avonie's request, but I allowed her to participate in the family's advancement ritual after she turns 15. Your mother is also very worried about you going to Backlund alone."
Although Aaron was very satisfied with the current atmosphere of a loving father and obedient son, he still interrupted his father with a smile.
"Why is my dear Duke of East Balam also starting to get sentimental?"
"Don't worry about me. As the future heir of the East Chester family, this is a necessary path for me."
"As for Avonie's Beyonder path, I have already thought it through. Just leave it to me with peace of mind."
After speaking, he looked at his father's relieved expression with a shy smile.
"And I have a mystical item that can travel through the Spirit World, hehe. If you and Mother miss me, just send me a telegram, and I'll teleport home immediately."
Duke Gusman Weil looked at Aaron with surprise, then said with some understanding:
"Did the ancestor bestow it upon you? That is indeed a very practical mystical item."
Aaron smiled and shook his head, saying with a slightly strange tone.
"Father, do you still remember the gift Mother gave me, the one from my maternal grandfather, Count Wolfe?"
Gusman was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised and asked in return:
"That pale mask rumored to have been brought out from the Eggers family mausoleum?"
"But I checked it, and besides the material being a bit hard, there was no other abnormality."
Aaron suppressed his smile, thought for a moment, and explained in a calm tone:
"The ancestor said that mask was sealed by an Angel from the Death Pathway."
"Hmm... The sealing method was quite tricky."
"So it's normal that a demigod wouldn't discover it without understanding the methods of the Death Pathway."
