Chapter 357: Summons (Seeking Monthly Votes)

At the dinner table.

Vernon stared at his daughter, who kept looking up and blushing for no reason, then looked at that boy who only cared about eating and drinking, yet made his daughter happy for a long time with just a casual compliment; he suddenly understood that he could no longer protect this daughter...

It was just that, for some reason, the more he looked at that boy Aaron lately, the more handsome he felt the other party had become... Perhaps, this was jealousy?

"Pass me the pepper shaker, please."

Aaron took the small silver bottle filled with pepper powder handed over by Liliyat and sprinkled it over the spaghetti bolognese.

"How does it taste? I wonder if the sauce in Green Forest City is to your liking?" Liliyat asked with a smile.

The nightmare that had loomed over these Bloodlines for hundreds of years!

"A... and then?" he asked in a dry voice.

And today's conversation made her realize that everything was unavoidable.

Aaron walked out from the side: "Where is the God's Messenger?"

Liliyat raised her eyes and saw that on the first chair to the left of the throne representing the 'Spirit of Falsehood', a figure had suddenly appeared.

Through Liliyat's introduction, Aaron nodded from time to time, lost in thought.

'Liliyat's gaze toward me has been getting more and more strange lately. Well... although many people pride themselves on being rational and believe they don't judge by appearances, they still subconsciously look a few extra times when they see handsome and beautiful people. Even as infants, they are happy when they smell perfume and cry when they smell a stench... This isn't being superficial, it's just Instinct!'

"Mr. Aaron, are you hurt?" Liliyat was concerned about something else entirely.

At this moment, a grand and vast voice came from above the steps.

At this time, any thoughts about her daughter were completely cast aside.

"This is... My Lord is summoning me? God's Messenger?"

Even so, Aaron still decided to lend a hand to these direct bloodlines.

That was the 'Blood of Decay' after all!

Vernon stood up abruptly, not even caring that the chair behind him had fallen over, and ran back to his room: "I... I must contact the Parliament immediately. This is great, this is truly great!"

A chill ran through Liliyat's heart.

In reality, he could survive on dirt; maintaining the habit of three meals a day was mainly to preserve his humanity and enjoy the pleasure brought by fine food.

"That's good." Liliyat beamed with joy.

Aaron enjoyed his dinner calmly and answered casually.

'True, those who have truly let go have abandoned the Sotos surname and identity, directly integrating into the Invis Kingdom... I haven't seen anyone go to trouble those nobles who possess thin Sotos bloodlines...'

"Descendants of Sotos, it is I who am summoning you!"

"You came too? Liliyat!"

Night.

For them, these Sothoth Descendants, this news was no different from wiping away the dark clouds that had always loomed over their heads.

Liliyat's body stiffened, but because Aaron Yugesi was also a Sothoth Descendant, she did not hide it: "Although we call ourselves the last descendants of the great Sotos, in reality... we are just a group of poor people who cannot let go of past Glory... I don't know exactly how many people are in the Green Banyan Council, only that it has nine seats. In theory, only an Extraordinary who has opened the Third Primordial Substance can serve as a family 'Councilor'... And the Speaker, Tias von Sotos, has even stepped into the realm of the non-human..."

Aaron looked at Liliyat: "Liliyat, can you tell me about the detailed organizational structure of the Green Banyan Council?"

Although Liliyat seemed to be captivated by his charm, Aaron had no intention of developing things further. He took another sip of thick soup and said slowly: "I went to the headquarters of the 'Blood of Decay' today!"

Thinking of the series of arrangements the family had made for her recently, as well as their distant attitude, Liliyat thought to herself.

Aaron nodded and swallowed the last bite of spaghetti.

Any organization established based on blood relations undoubtedly has an extremely exclusionary Divine Attribute.

"Mm, it's the taste I like."

"Are there only the two of us?" Liliyat was a bit indecisive. She suspected this was a beautiful dream she was having, and had an urge to reach out and poke Aaron's cheek.

She saw those thrones representing the 'Immortals' surrounded by grand and vast stone pillars.

Liliyat looked to the side and found that the others had not arrived, so she couldn't help but be lost in thought: "A more private gathering?"

Liliyat also put down her knife and fork, looking at Aaron with a face full of anticipation and anxiety.

"Then do you think... is it possible for the entire 'Green Banyan Council' to convert to My Lord?" Aaron asked the most critical question in a deep voice.

Aaron kept turning his fork, rolling up the noodles, and answered casually.

Even if the identity he fabricated also possessed Sotos blood, it might not be easily accepted.

Perhaps... if she approached rashly, the other party would still want to investigate or test something, which would be tiresome...

'However, by promoting the merger of the family and the sect, I won't have to be so conflicted in the middle.'

Liliyat arrived at that Dream again.

"I'm fine."

'A group of decaying people, unable to let go of the glory of the past...'

From the day she joined the 'Invisible Cult', she had been considering the relationship between her family and the sect.

For some reason, she just felt that Aaron was even more handsome today.

"From now on, there is no more 'Blood of Decay'."

At this moment, he could be considered the most superb handsome man among humans.

His face was blurred, and only a pair of amethyst-like eyes contained the wisdom to see through the world, bringing great pressure.

The sound of knives and forks clashing against the plates on the table stopped instantly.

'The Fifth Primordial Substance of the 'Furnace' — 【Glory】, is to make the Extraordinary transform toward perfection in all aspects... I can almost be considered the most perfect male template in this world... Hmm, if it were a female 'Furnace', perhaps it would become — Eve?!'

Also because of this reason, she had never introduced the matter of the 'Green Banyan Council' before because Aaron hadn't asked.

Vernon almost jumped up.

Would he say that this time he not only wiped out the 'Blood of Decay', but was also almost blocked at the door by an Outer God, and finally had to fight a 'Crown' of the Sixth Primordial Substance to escape?

"This... this news is too significant."

He wore a cloak sewn from northern wolf fur, and the roots of a Green Banyan Tree were coiled around his seat.

Aaron touched his face and immediately understood that by going on a killing spree at the headquarters of the Blood of Decay and burning a great deal of fertilizer, he had gained a massive amount of Spirituality, taking another giant step forward on the path to perfection.

"It's here!"

"Is it the Ancestor?!"

Liliyat was both surprised and delighted, and she hurriedly performed a salute.

Even for an Extraordinary—no, for any ordinary person in the Mortal World, being able to see the ruler of the Ancient Green Forest, the founder of modern medicine and Occultism, the great inventor, the Gourmet, the Green Forest Earl—Aaron Sotos, would be just as exciting and thrilling!
