"Does the nun’s outfit look good?" Sonia asked, "It seemed like someone’s gaze was captivated just now."

Ash quickly clarified, "You all look good in anything, even without wearing anything!"

Diya suddenly came up with a brilliant idea, "How about we all wear nun outfits one night? Not just nun outfits, any uniform will do, it could be really fun."

"Will nothing happen?" Weiser said, "Like suddenly several Blood Saint Moon Shadow Legendaries trying to catch Ash’s attention tomorrow."

"I’ll mention it to the senior later," Siflin said, "But our senior is smart. Since she knows Ash wants to hide his identity, she wouldn’t say a word about it. Even if she can’t win Ash’s favor, she wouldn’t want to gain his dislike either."

"This feeling is quite strange."

Ash said softly, "Although there’s a bit of pride, seeing how your senior’s attitude has changed so greatly, cautiously guessing my thoughts, every move aiming to please me... it feels like..."

"You only experienced this feeling today?" Vishi couldn’t help but tease, "Let’s not even talk about Legendary Holy Domain, even a Two-winged Mage should experience this kind of status change, right? How miserable was your past that you didn’t have any opportunities to show authority?"

Ash said helplessly, "Because I always interacted with mages of the same level or stronger than me; even those weaker than me weren’t this cautious."

"Well, you better get used to it. When you become the Supreme of Magic, not to mention strangers, even we will become cautious around you, constantly guessing your thoughts, trying hard to please you."

Ash turned to look at Vishi, stunned. Vishi raised her eyebrows, "What’s wrong? Don’t you understand that those who sit on the throne are inevitably solitary?"

"I understand," Ash smiled brightly, "But I won’t let that happen."

"What, are you willing to give up the throne?" Vishi’s eyes lit up, clasping her hands with anticipation, "Then when you defeat Dazzling Star, will you let us share her Supreme stakes?"

"Pretty much," Ash laughed, "I believe you all can definitely seize Dazzling Star’s Supreme Throne."

"We’ll talk about the future when it comes," Weiser interrupted, "The wedding seems to be starting."

Sonia and Weiser exchanged a glance, nodding silently. This isn’t the right occasion, they’ll discuss the distribution of Supreme stakes when there’s just the five of them tonight. They absolutely wouldn’t agree to let Vishi get the Supreme shares, as for whether Ash takes all, they currently have no objections.

Actually, they don’t even know how to seize the Supreme stakes now, perhaps there will be no spoils at all. However, when Ash sits on the throne, will they become cautious and ingratiating like Serein?

Will this current team of equals carry on to the fortress castle of the future, or is it just a castle in the air?

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Sixty-six fireworks shot into the night sky in twelve seconds, painting the blood-red night with brilliant colors, and kept shining for a long time. It’s neither day nor night now, the venue seems to have entered a dreamlike fairy tale world, the fireworks turning every inch of space into outlines of happiness.

A red carpet was rolled from outside the venue to the flower gate in front of the church, all the guests stopped their conversations, quietly watching the newlyweds walk down the red carpet through the venue.

Ash almost didn’t recognize Gerard, this white-haired giant like a wolf, currently dressed in a fitted white tailcoat, with a scarlet ribbon, gold and silver medals pinned to his chest, looking more like a general than a groom, yet surprisingly fitting his image.

But even more surprising was Selena... this limbless doll-like girl, dressed in white sheepskin high-heeled boots, a wedding dress adorned with roses and gemstone decorations made of soft satin, placing the hand with white lace gloves in Gerard’s palm. Ash could sense that there were no limbs inside the gloves and boots, more like an extension of the mind, even with a certain mystical sense of fate.

She became a mage, and a Fate Mage at that.

Ash took a step back and said to Dedarose, "Can sense marry?"

"The Gods of Four Pillars didn’t say it couldn’t."

"I mean, can sense genuinely love someone?"

Dedarose laughed, "There’s a big difference between people. Besides, you’re a sense too, Observatory."

Ash watched Gerard lead Selena walk by, unable to see the bride’s expression because Selena was wearing a veil. The surrounding Moon Shadow priests started playing joyful music, as they walked, flowers of various colors blossomed along the sides of the carpet, the light from the fireworks above gradually focusing on them, dimming the rest of the venue.

Ash previously thought if a Blood Moon wedding wasn’t amidst corpses and a sea of blood, it would be goblins distributing strange powder everywhere, making everyone feel like they’re about to fly... but it turned out to be remarkably grand and splendid.

Surrounded by light, they arrived under the flower gate formed by laurel branches, the Moon Shadow priest dressed in a white robe, wagging his big tail, was already eager. In front of the priest was an all-white holy table, on which lay two flower crowns, a gold ring engraved with names and dates, and similarly engraved silver rings.

The joyful music softened at just the right moment, the priest drew two circles for them, and then a moon appeared behind them, as if only they remained in the world, at this moment everyone else became supporting characters.

The white-robed priest said, "Praise to the Sun and Moon, blessings to the newlyweds."

The Moon Shadow priests playing music said in unison, "May goodness be upon the guests, joy be upon the newlyweds."

"Please wear the flower crowns, take the rings, and fulfill your vows."

Gerard lifted Selena’s veil, revealing her long, silvery white hair streaked with a hint of wine red. She donned the crown, held the silver ring tightly, and asked, "Even if the road ahead is full of hardship and suffering, are you willing to walk through it with imperfect me?"

"I am willing," Gerard replied.

At that moment, the last bit of doubt in Ash’s heart also vanished. He had somewhat suspected whether Gerard was charmed by the sense of the Gods of Four Pillars, but one look at their eyes and Ash understood... having liked many people, Ash was very clear on what an expression of genuine affection looked like.

Moreover, Gerard should know Selena’s secret. It’s impossible to hide it; after the Gospel connected with the Blood Moon, Selena being a sense of the Gods of Four Pillars would definitely leak, but even so, they still held this grand wedding of the century.

Many strange things have happened where I couldn’t see them.

Ash sighed internally, turned to chat with the Sword Maiden, but caught a glimpse of Sonia’s eyes in the darkness. The colorful brilliance reflecting in her pupils, she watched the two in the spotlight with longing, unaware that her lover beside her was staring at her, captivated.

A moment later, those watching at the front, including Siflin, were suddenly pulled to the back. She turned and saw Ash, tilting her head in confusion, "What’s up?"

"I have a favor to ask you."

Just then Ash remembered something, gestured Siflin to wait, and opened the "Aurora’s Mage Manual" - "Operator Search".

"Death Mad, help me out."

Ash whispered a request, choosing "Search ten times".
