The World of Deities

“Okay, you can go back first. I’ll definitely bring some Anzer Honey when I visit her next year.” Hort smiled when he talked about honey.

“Anzer Honey is too expensive. She’ll be happy if you bring her some normal honey.”

“No, I must bring Anzer Honey! I must let her have her favorite food!” Hort’s expression was very serious.

“You… I’m leaving. See you tomorrow.” Lake patted Hort’s shoulder.

Hort was still sitting on the ground. He was seriously contemplating how he could help Su Ye.

At dawn, Su Ye got up as usual.

In the eyes of outsiders, Su Ye seemed the same as he was yesterday.

Regardless of his classmates’ discussion of him or their doubts towards him, Su Ye behaved completely normal. Like usual, he studied, rested, and used Feynman techniques on Hort.

By the afternoon, aside from Palos who did not express any opinions, all his other deskmates, including Ebert, expressed varying degrees of admiration for Su Ye.

They did not admire Su Ye’s calmness, but his insouciance.

At the end of the second class in the afternoon, Su Ye received a letter signed by the president of Plato Chamber of Commerce. Su Ye was stupefied for a moment by the full name of the president –

Hartsock Ladon Callinus Fafnir Afanc Hydra Ouroboros Taras… Nidhoggur Midgard Tiamat.

Su Ye counted. The president’s full name was a combination of 33 names.

Su Ye looked at the familiar names and vaguely guessed the race of the president. He was certain that the president was either extremely powerful or a scum who liked to brag.

Su Ye stared at the name for a long while. He was sure that no matter what was written in the letter, it would not cause his emotions to fluctuate more than seeing this name.

Su Ye opened the letter and looked at it expressionlessly.

“Mr. Su Ye, you have conducted various past misdeeds. Your grades are in a mess. Your reputation is notorious. Your future is bleak. Hence, our Chamber of Commerce has decided that we will never collaborate with you until the day when the world collapses. Please pardon us. Written by Hartsock Ladon Callinus Fafnir… Nidhoggur Midgard Tiamat.”

As expected, Su Ye’s emotions were not stirred by the content of the letter.

Fortunately, the president refused to partner with him. Judging from his name, this president was a total lunatic! It looked like Su Ye had to start looking for his next collaborator.

Su Ye briefly thought about it and deleted the letter. The long list of names was an eyesore.

During the lesson before the self-study session, Cartelius’s teaching was as dry as dust. The atmosphere in the class was also very dull.

Almost no one was listening to the class. There was no one chatting either. All of them were frantically exchanging letters using magic books.

On the contrary, the few people at the fifth table were all serious in their studies.

When the bell rang, Cartelius gave Su Ye a deep look. His gaze swept past the rest of the people at the fifth table. Then, he turned around and left.

At this moment, two mages with scarlet collars and Golden Oak badges on their chests entered the classroom.

“Su Ye, please follow us to the council house.”

Su Ye picked up his magic book and nodded. As he walked, he said, “I thought we were going to use the Great Plato Temple.”

Lake and Hort exchanged a gaze before they got up and followed Su Ye. To their surprise, Rolon and Ebert followed them too.

The students in the class looked at each other, then silently closed their magic books and made their way to the council house too.

The most majestic building in Plato Academy was the Great Plato Temple. The second largest building was the cafeteria. The council house was the third largest building.

Su Ye followed the two enforcers. With the red carpet beneath his feet, he slowly trod into the council house.

After that, students from all grades crowded outside the council house and poked their heads out from the three arches, one big and two small. There were also some students standing outside the windows on both sides, craning their necks to look around.

The sky gradually darkened as the sun was covered by the base of the Athena statue in Acropolis. Su Ye walked to the center of the council house.

Unlike the Office of Academic Affairs which Su Ye went to the day before, this council house displayed the most vivid Greek art.

The interior of the council house was ordained with Doric columns, which well-demonstrated the ruggedness and grandeur of the place. On both sides of the hall, bronze and marble statues were placed. The statues were lifelike and each statue seemed to tell a unique tale.

When these statues were placed side by side, it was as though history unfolded before the audience’s eyes.

On the dome of the hall, the crystal glass was colorful and beautiful. It radiated a mysterious glow. However, the sunlight turned into white light after it penetrated through the glass and fell on the ground.

If one looked carefully, they would notice that every piece of glass on the dome was like a window leading to another world.

Through the glass, one could view different fantasy worlds. There were dragons dancing, giants running, and birds chirping amidst the blossoming flowers. There were also an inferno, poisonous fog abyss, beach, the bottom of the sea, and many more.

The council house was a four-story structure.

Su Ye was at the lowest floor. To reach the lower middle floor, he had to climb up three steps. On both sides stood mages wearing official badges.

Some wore the Silver Book badge; some wore the Bronze Fist badge while some wore the Black Iron Pigeon badge.

On the upper middle floor, there were tables on both sides. However, the people behind the tables were all standing.

Most of the people behind the tables wore Golden Oak badges, but there were two exceptions. The two people were particularly tall and their arms and legs were muscular. They wore black leather armor instead of long robes.

Their bellies were covered in air-tight light gold leather cuirasses. The head of the Golden Lion was carved on the cuirasses.

The fur of the golden lion stood slightly on end, as though a gentle breeze was blowing. The huge lion’s eyes emitted a menacing light. Its wide-open mouth seemed to emit a loud roar. It was full of the majesty of a king.

In battle, hard armor on the abdomen would affect a warrior’s performance. However, the cuirass was an exception.

The cuirass was made from the skin of a special magical beast. Every piece was divine equipment. Not only would it not affect the warrior’s performance in battle, but it would also give the warrior endless power and be able to block damage.

Not many warriors below the level of Golden Warrior owned a cuirass. Even Kaerton was reluctant to wear his during ordinary times. He carefully kept his.

Even as a mage, who always looked down on warriors, Su Ye could not help but take a few more glances at the Golden Lion cuirass.

It was too cool.

Compared to a warrior’s cuirass, a mage’s badge appeared too reserved.

The magic equipment used by mages was actually pretty good too. However, it was still a little inferior when compared to the legendary gorgeous attire of warriors.

After all, the warriors of the four great countries had existed for God knows how many years. It had not been even two hundred years since the rise of mages.

On the parliament floor at the top, the tables were arranged in a row. They were covered with a dark red velvet tablecloth.

There were nine golden-edged, red-velvet-padded, high back wooden chairs behind the tables. The chairs were the same size and they were arranged in a row.

The high back chairs were empty.

Su Ye looked straight ahead and the people in front stared at him.

Niedern stood on the upper middle floor, together with Gregory, Carlos’ teacher. Lawrence, the Sage Archmage from yesterday, was not here.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside.

Su Ye turned his head to look. A muscular youth, taller than him, was led into the council house by two enforcers.

Su Ye looked at Carlos; the other party was sizing him up too.

Carlos wore the Black Iron Pigeon badge on his left chest.

He was a Black Iron Mage.
