Chapter 282: Death Day

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The sorcerers and the alchemy warlocks who came back from Yala had travelled a long way. They had all returned from a distant continent, and everyone was awaiting their news.

Many people wondered what had happened to them in that mysterious kingdom, and they especially wanted to know how many of the shocking rumors that they had heard were true. However, all of the sorcerers and alchemy warlocks were silent upon their returns.

In fact, they acted as if nothing had happened. This kind of unusual behavior made everyone feel that something was amiss.

“It’s unbelievably peaceful here, yet I feel like a storm is coming! Did you smell that?” Jonathan asked.

He was hugging his wife Rosia, and they were watching the civilians who were walking around Tephis, as well as the conductors, who were ringing bells in their carriages.

There were many visitors in the city, as well as many workers. There were also children selling newspapers, running up and down the streets, while the farmers in the city were carrying their fruits and vegetables that they had grown in the countryside. They had brought them into the city to sell them.

These ordinary people were the epitome of this city, as well as of the system of this entire human world. It was a peaceful and tranquil world, and everyone could find their place here.

Jonathan looked at everything happening, and it was just as it usually was. But, his heart couldn’t help pounding intensely. He was unsettled, and he kind of had a hunch that a radical change of was about to happen for this new coming era.

As Rosia looked at her husband, she was confused. She looked up and saw the clear sky with no clouds in it and said, “We are having such good weather today. Surely, there won’t be a storm today.”

Before this, Marina had accepted Jonathan as her student at Akkad Alchemy College in front of all of the teachers and alchemy warlocks. It was the first time in decades that Marina had accepted a student mentee, and it represented the inheritance of the alchemy technique of Marina Bosa. It also meant that Jonathan had stepped into the core circle of the alchemy warlocks in this world.

This was what Jonathan had always wanted. However, after everything that had happened, Jonathan truly saw how this world really was, especially how powerful the gods were, which had greatly broadened his horizons.

At that moment, as Jonathan held his wife in his arms, his eyes were filled with various emotions. “This is an era of great changes, yet this is also an era full of opportunities! I, Jonathan Brown, am destined to have a leading role in this era!”

Just after he finished talking, one of the kids selling newspapers waved a newspaper that seemed to have some urgent news printed on it as he yelled, “Extra! Today’s news! Read all about it!”

The boy then began shouting a synopsis of the article on the front page, “The king of Pusuote announced that every April 20th is Death Day! This is the most important worship day for the Temple of Sky. On this day, all of the disciples must...”

Jonathan stopped the sales kid mid-sentence and said, “Give me one of those!”

Jonathan knew that there were three levels in the Temple of Sky, which were the Godly Sky Sector, the Death Underworld Sector, and the human sector. Since the Goddess of Death was the most important goddess in the Temple of Sky, Jonathan knew that the King Cetisius of Pusuote wouldn’t just announce a piece of news like this for no reason. Besides, the gods were all acting weirdly at this time, so many people were wondering what exactly they were up to.

Jonathan read the newspaper carefully, discovering that there was going to be a grand ceremony on April 20th, which would last for a month. As it was on the front page, which was such a prominent position in the newspaper, one could infer that it would be very special!

When Jonathan went back to Akkad Alchemy College to attend classes the second day, he was called to the principal’s office by Marina.

“Have you heard of Death Day of the Temple of Sky, Jonathan?” Marina asked, while she took off her glasses and put them on the table, a solemn look on her face.

Jonathan nodded and answered, “Yes, I did. I reckon that something unusual is about to happen!”

Marina smiled. “Of course it’s unusual! I heard that Cetisius received the oracle. I don’t know what the oracle is about, but it definitely has to do with the gods. His actions must mean something significant! Besides, since he summoned so many disciples at the same time, he must be up to something!”

She then added, “So, you’d better prepare yourself for it. We’ll join that ceremony as members of the parliament of the City Alliance of Sheehan!”

“Sure thing, teacher!” Jonathan didn’t expect that his teacher Marina was going to bring him along. Besides, Jonathan had a hunch that this ceremony wouldn’t be as simple as described by Marina. Teacher must have known something about it already, otherwise she wouldn’t be that cautious.

After Jonathan left, Marina stood up, took a look at the shelf behind her, and took out a book from it. It was a biography about Cetisius!

Meanwhile, all of the post offices sent the orders to everyone in Pusuote. Since everyone in the Temple of Sky regarded Death Day as an important holy day, all of the disciples were mobilized.

Countless disciples marched toward the capital of Pusuote, the City of Baber, faithfully. The kingdom also sent invitations to the other nearby kingdoms. As for the countries, they also sent representatives. Hence, regardless of their beliefs, everyone sent groups of representatives to the capital of Pusuote!

Meanwhile, more saints received inside news about Death Day, and they all sensed the uniqueness of the coming ceremony. As they all took off for the City of Baber, there were even some members from other churches among them.

At this moment, human sorcerers, orcs sorcerers, alchemy warlocks, priests and holy knights all gathered in the City of Baber, and there were even some wicked demon warlocks and ghost wizards among the gathered group as well. Not only were there demon warlocks from the Church of True God, but there were also demon warlocks and their relatives that belonged to other powerful demon overlords.

As for those religions and cults that had been repressed by the three major churches for a long time, they all started to show up again, almost as if they had received some inside news about the gathering. They all sensed that there was something in the City of Baber that they were keen to find.

......

Lu Zhiyu got in the horse carriage to make his way to the City Alliance of Sheehan after paying a few coins for passage. He was sitting in the back of the carriage, holding hands with Delmedi. Quite a few people got into the carriage after them.

Delmedi sat beside Lu Zhiyu, pouting. “Don’t treat me like a child, and stop holding my hands! I’m a grown-up now!”

Lu Zhiyu looked at the changes going on outside the City Alliance of Sheehan. He could see that all of these changes had been brought about by the alchemy warlocks. The workshops had greatly improved the City Alliance’s productivity, and the establishment of alchemy academies had improved the literacy rate of the people exponentially!

Most of the people on the street were well-dressed, many of them wearing coats and hats. Everyone looked very nice, which would have been a rare occurrence on the Alen Continent a century ago.

“The foundation has already been built. It’s almost ready! Now, all he needs is an opportunity!” Lu Zhiyu nodded while saying this, yet Delmedi couldn’t quite understand what he was talking about.

Delmedi was wearing a black tux, which made her look exceptionally nice. Her golden eyes were glinting with confidence and pride. She definitely stood out among all of the others.

“I’ve been doing good, haven’t I?” she asked Lu Zhiyu.

“Pretty good. It just doesn’t look right. Cetisius still needs to pass a couple of crucial steps if he wants to become a real god. Also, his showing such ostentatious behavior at the first step will bring him huge trouble!”

“What kind of trouble? These are all necessary things. Besides, everyone knows about the Goddess of Death now!” she said.

Lu Zhiyu didn’t respond to that, as it perfectly fit in with Lu Zhiyu’s plan because it accelerated the fight for the thrones of the gods! Then, taking a glimpse at Delmedi, who was leaning against Lu Zhiyu, while appreciating the scenes outside of the carriage, Lu Zhiyu looked upset.

He then said, “You said that you’ve already grown up, but your sister isn’t half as clingy as you are!”

“What? Sister is not much better!” Delmedi exclaimed, her feelings somewhat hurt by her father’s statement.
