BXBX NOVEL Chapter 177: Slyvia Hunt
It was precisely for this reason that he had managed to convince himself that he needed to step away from it all, the responsibilities he had were too much. He could not take care of the Church of Night, construction and the affairs of the empire at the same time, he could not do so at the moment.
Knowing this, he had spoken to Ahil and had finally managed to return to the 20th floor. The incredibly high-quality goods that he had bought very cheaply thanks to Ronald were being used in the construction. So he was able to leave the construction to Ronald and Datura who was with him.
With that, James was seated on his throne in the throne room of the main church on the 20th floor. It was almost two hours since he reached the 20th floor and sat on the throne, and because of the size of the throne, he found it convenient to meditate cross-legged.
As he sat there meditating, after a while he realised that a few voices reached his ears, he opened his eyes suddenly and smiled when he saw the people in front of him and then he spoke:
"I hope your brother is well, young lady."
James said these words looking at the dark elf in front of him. The smiles on the faces of each of the children, young and old, were visible, each of them staring at James and the large window behind him with Nyx\'s image etched into it.
"Thanks to you sir, we came here to thank you, sister Ariel told us you were here."
James smiled when he heard the dark elf\'s words and his eyes locked on Ariel waiting behind the children, "Big sister? Do they know how old you are?" he asked. He was joking, of course, but the anger on Ariel\'s face was becoming evident.
"You don\'t need to thank me, it\'s nothing more than me trying to correct mistakes that have been made for a long time," James suddenly said.
The children in front of him looked embarrassed at his words, each of them following behind Ariel, with only the female dark elf herself making it to the front of the stairs leading up to James\' throne.
"I will never forget the right you gave me and my brothers to live and I will never be able to repay that debt, my lord, but I will still be honoured to be your shadow, and I hope you will give me the chance to do so, as you told me before."
James smiled widely as the female dark elf spoke these words and then said, "That chance belongs to you," and then pulled the contract from his inventory and handed it to Ariel. Standing behind the children, Ariel quickly walked over to the throne took the contract or by the other name "pact" and handed it to the female dark elf.
The female dark elf signed the agreement without even trying to read it, and then the agreement glowed and disappeared.
James smiled, coughed a little and then said, "You need a name now, you all do."
The children\'s faces lit up when he said those words, they had never thought they would hear such a sentence, all these orphans, most of them former slaves, had never had anyone but each other all their lives, and finally there was someone who wished to adopt or accept them.
Even if they knew such a thing, no, they wished not to wake up even if it was a dream, let alone to hear it.
"We would be honoured, sir," the female dark elf said and bowed her head.
James already had a name for the female dark elf, after all, after hearing that this girl did not have a name, he had chosen to approach this event quite seriously.
Smiling nicely, James said, "Your name will be Sylvia starting today. You will take the surname Hunt, indicating that all my shadows are a family."
After these words, the female dark elf named Sylvia suddenly glowed, and while James was trying to understand what was happening, the same system notification suddenly appeared in front of the two:
[Erebus the God of Darkness and Shadow blesses Sylvia Hunt].
When James read this notification, he smiled and then laughed, saying, "I wouldn\'t expect anything less from old Erebus."
Sylvia shook her head as if she didn\'t realise what was happening, and in just a few seconds, more than a dozen abilities appeared in front of her. Even though each ability was at maximum Unusual-Grade, Erebus had officially blessed someone who had not voluntarily chosen a class.
All of Olympus was in an uproar, even the Titans and Nyx herself had not expected this to happen.
"Erebus! Have you gone mad?"
Hyperion\'s shout echoed throughout the hall as he, like every god and goddess in the room, focused on Erebus.
Even Nyx\'s bewildered eyes were on her husband, and even this great woman could not understand why he would do such a thing.
"I don\'t understand why you are so surprised," Erebus suddenly said, and Gaia, hearing these words, spoke up:
"Everyone knows why you and Nyx didn\'t share your powers. Nyx did it because someone managed to choose her, but this girl...you know...she is a dark elf."
Erebus frowned as he heard Gaia\'s words. Many races in the tower were unfairly persecuted, the dark elves\' past was indeed very dark and evil, but it was very stupid to be treated like this just because someone was of their blood.
After all, Desmond himself had almost brought about the end of the dark elves and many other races, everyone knew why they were racist, even those who did not know about Desmond justified the founder of the church.
