282 Death Day (2/2)

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.
