God System
Ch. 26 - Settings
After Ray convinced Vali, he spread his Divine Sense marking the eight people who had just entered. As expected eight people were divided into four pairs and spread to several sides of the room.
"They parted while distracting the guests, and almost all the guests in this place were unaware of their presence. It's probably worse than I thought." Thought Ray.
Ray sets out a plan for the worst possible event. As well as ascertaining the state of the enemy, "they may have planted some people here as well" Ray thought.
While Ray was still in his daydream, a middle-aged man went on stage with Yuri.
"Thank you for coming to my daughter Yuri's sixteenth birthday. Today's event is also a celebration of my daughter's acceptance as the tenth disciple of the Grand Mage Pytagoras..."
When Richard says Yuri was raised as a disciple by Pythagoras, the whole room becomes boisterous.
"Will Yuri Charlton be appointed as a disciple of the Grand Mage?"
"This is the first time an outsider from the royal family has been appointed a disciple by Grand Mage Phytagoras..."
"Truly the Charlton Family's luck..."
While everyone was shocked by the news, Ray found another possibility and reason that confirmed his concern.
"If anything happens to Yuri who was newly appointed disciple by Pythagoras, while the one in charge with the Silver City's security is the royal member will make the relationship between the kingdom and the Witch temple stretch, it might even make Pythagoras cut ties with the kingdom." Thought Ray.
"It's worse than I thought" murmured Ray.
The Witch Temple was one of the five strongest neutral powers in the Eternal World. The Witch Temple was not incorporated in any kingdom nor empire, but had branches in every kingdom and empire. The Witch Temple determined the level of each magician listed on them, adjusting the level of mana capacity and ability in magic control.
Pythagoras was the one who was at the top of the Witch Temple as well as the only Human Race who managed to become a Grand Mage in this generation, which made him the strongest human mage. Other than the Magician Temple Pythagoras had three other Grand Mages, two people from the Elf Race and one person from the Beastman Race.
"If my guess is correct then my focus of protection should be Yuri." Ray solidified his plan.
Ray stroked the black bracelet in his hand that was a transformation from Little Black, "Little Black help me protect Yuri" Ray telepathically sent Little Black.
Hearing Ray's command, Litlle Black immediately shot towards Yuri and hid in his shadow without anyone noticing. One of Little Black's innate abilities is to go into hiding, and this ability is not limited to living things but also inanimate objects. This ability was also what amazed Ray, because with this ability Little Black was a natural Asassin.
"Now that I have to find a way to get on stage, it will be easier to take action from the stage in the middle of the room. Besides, no enemy would suspect I knew their plan." Mumbled Ray.
Ray could not have expected it for a moment after he finished making his arrangements. Yuri took to the stage and announced that guests could take to the stage to show their skills in music or entertainment.
"Let the gods help me" thought Ray. Ray walked towards the stage, "Miss Yuri can I show my musical ability? It might be a little entertaining for the guests." Ray volunteered to play music.
"certain." Yuri smiled at Ray.
Ray pulled out a stringed instrument that many guests did not recognize. Seeing the strange gazes of the guests, Ray just smiled then explained.
"This is a Guitar, I made it myself. It's similar to the zither instrument of Qin Empire." Ray explained about the guitar he was carrying.
"I'm going to sing a song I just made a few days ago. Hope you can cheer you up." Ray.
