BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35: Chaos Guild Building
That was reason enough for the church, everyone was ready to sacrifice themselves. They were nothing but a bunch of fanatics.
"Come in, sir, please let\'s talk inside," the old woman suddenly said, and with that, they all went to the meeting room of the palace.
There were several people in the meeting room.
The Emperor, the Empress, a prince and a princess. Also present were the two popes of the church.
"First of all, please tell me your names, I will try to remember them even if my memory for names is terrible," James said, addressing those sitting around the table.
Those who heard this started to introduce themselves one by one:
"My name is Ahil, Emperor of the Sun Empire, this is my wife Wish, next to her is my son Enel and my daughter Lila sir."
"And I am Datura, one of the two popes." James, who scratched his chin when the woman introduced herself with this name, smiled and then said, "The name of a flower with high poison, huh? The devil\'s drums. What a beautiful name."
Datura smiled when she heard this, bowed her head, and said, "Thank you, sir, I am honoured."
"I am Aether sir, the second pope of the church."
"Do you know where your name comes from, old man?" James asked with a twinkle in his eye.
After the old man shook his head no, James smiled and then spoke calmly:
"Aether. The name of Lady Nyx\'s first child. Also known as the god of space and heaven. Your name carries great weight, and I hope you have lived well enough to make it worth it."
After these words, each individual in the room swallowed once, obviously surprised.
James yawned as if nothing had happened and then added "Whatever, Mr Aether\'s a nice bloke, blah blah blah, never mind that we\'ve got work to do." and then sat cross-legged in the large chair he was sitting in.
Even these words were enough to make Aether laugh. Sitting normally next to Nyx in the centre of Olympus, he laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes.
"Work to do, sir?" Datura said as James turned to her and said, "Yes, I need a building for the Chaos Guild. As you can understand, it is a newly established guild, it has neither a building nor members."
After these words, a discussion arose within the group. The prince and princess said that even the guild\'s name was superior to the church, and therefore the church should be demolished and rebuilt.
Of course, the main building of the church was not the imperial palace. It was located on the top of one of the famous mountains outside the city. The purpose of this was for the church to serve as Nyx\'s soldier in a sense, but this was not the most important reason.
The church wanted to choose the place closest to the sky, in short, they wished to reach the night of Nyx.
The popes of the church, on the other hand, argued that this would not be the right decision, that instead of demolishing it, the church should be restructured and the change of ranks should be reviewed. This meant that James should become a member of the church and appoint him as the new pope.
The Empress, as James realised, was looking deeply at the Emperor. It was clear that the emperor was deep in thought.
"What is your opinion, Ahil?" James suddenly asked, and the room fell silent.
When Ahil heard this question directed to him, he looked deeply at James and then calmly said, "If you wish, we can declare the entire imperial palace as the Chaos Guild building. Is Chaos not our creator? Father of our Lady Nyx, I can think of no greater honour than to host a guild named after him."
Hearing this answer, James took a deep breath. The imperial palace was a huge place, seriously so big that it was impossible to describe it in words. There was no other way to describe it except to say that it was gigantic.
At Ahil\'s words, the popes of the church nodded their heads and inwardly approved. After all, the church was born with the imperial family, even if they controlled them, they were aware that this was a respectable behaviour.
"It\'s... acceptable," James said suddenly. Inwardly he was trying to hold back his laughter. Of course, he couldn\'t afford to build a building for the Chaos Guild and so he had tried to get the church to pay for everything.
In doing so, though, he had made a bigger profit than he had expected.
He had always been allowed access to the imperial library, and even he had no idea what he would be able to do if the guild\'s main building was the imperial palace itself, after all, it would be beyond limitless.
"What do you think, Master Moros? Is the imperial palace enough?" James asked as the older duo stood up and tried to realise what was going on.
"Moros? The child of Nyx, sir?" asked Datura.
"Mhm exactly. Shut up for a second and let me hear what the man has to say," replied James and with that he read the window that had formed in front of him:
[That\'s good enough, James. Even if you choose an ordinary house as a guild building, I don\'t think they will say anything, enjoy yourself.]
James smiled when he read this window and then said "Well, we got the approval" and entered the guild panel.
When the guild panel opened, an open map of the 5th floor appeared in front of him and he paused for a few seconds after seeing the enormity of the map. He was excited to see the empires and kingdoms outside the Sun Empire.
However, he chose the area where the imperial palace was located. A paper suddenly appeared in front of him and he handed it to the emperor. As soon as the emperor signed the paper, another window appeared in front of James:
[Are you sure you want to make the Main Palace of the Solar Empire the territory of the CHAOS Guild with all its borders?
YES/NO]
The answer was already obvious, his hand reached for yes, and a notification window appeared on the entire 5th floor:
[The CHAOS Guild\'s main building has been designated as the boundary of the Imperial Palace. Congratulations to Umbra on his monumental achievement.
Guild honour has increased by 100,000 throughout the 5th floor].
