Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

Chapter 252: Imperial Feast

It had been almost a month since the two learned that the Empress had returned from the war and that James and Ariel were trying to get her home safely.

During this time, neither Emma nor the tower itself had been given a mission, and the gods and goddesses had learnt what the mission was. In short, James and Ariel were trapped on the 37th floor and just going about their lives.

After all, with the logic in their minds that they might really be stuck here, there was nothing else they could do.

They could try to get on with their lives and maybe learn a few things.

Ariel managed to get a little teaching about qi training from Chao, who was still with James. In short, although Ariel wasn't going to fully engage in qi training and wouldn't be staying on this floor to become a cultivator, she had tried to train to diversify her aura.

Chao was quite excited that both James and Ariel had the same idea, normally it was quite expected that cultivators or normal aura users would grovel and beg at his feet.

These two, on the other hand, acted as if they didn't give a damn about anything. In a way, though, they really didn't care about anything.

In the process, James was trying to take his aura to the next level and Ariel was trying to complete her medium-level aura. The fact that Ariel's aura was so powerful even when it wasn't complete was already enough to reveal her potential.

Obviously, Ariel was much more skilled at using aura.

As soon as the Empress returned from the war, preparations for the feast began, in short, a victory feast was to be held, and James and Ariel were invited to this feast.

After almost a month, when it was time for the feast, the two of them dressed in the best clothes they could find and attended the feast.

Even though Ariel did not have a big body, she was still a very good-looking individual because of her body muscles, and because of the powers Moros had given her, her hair had changed colour, it was like a blue shifting to purple. In short, this woman, who used to have red hair, had a darker appearance.

Even though the white suit she was wearing made her look like a man in a way, everyone could tell that she was perhaps the most beautiful woman they had seen recently, just by the beauty of her face.

James, on the other hand, tried to choose clothes as usual and messed up because of his bad choices. Ariel, acting like a hero, had of course chosen James' clothes.

She wore a black top with silver shoulder pads that looked like they were designed with arrows and flowers. The fact that she always looked good in whatever she was wearing made it all the easier.

When the duo attended the feast, they of course attracted the attention of the nobles of the empire.

Many noblewomen or men came up to them to woo them, but they were always rejected. Chao kept suggesting others and saying that being with them would benefit the duo, but the duo didn't care.

"You know I'm married, right Chao? Or rather, I will be as soon as I get above the 75th floor, and Ariel is on her way to marriage," James finally complained.

"No one told either of you that you could only have one husband and one wife. Polygamy is quite common, especially in this empire." Chao said in reply, but the two still didn't care about that.

"Love is an important thing, Chao. If my eyes don't sparkle when I look at the woman I'm in love with, I'm not in love with that person, I don't look at anyone but my mate Nemesis, it's that simple," James said suddenly. There was no way to describe how happy these words made Nemesis who was watching them.

"Welcome, my friends!" came a voice suddenly from the side of the dais. It didn't make sense to call it a dais, Cordelia was speaking at the top of the stairs after all.

James and Ariel's attention turned to where the conversation was coming from.

Cordelia raised her wine glass with a smiling face and said, "This victory was incredibly important for our empire. Not only did it allow our empire to improve our food routes, but it also allowed us to get our hands on the soul stone mines."

With that shout, the room erupted in cheers, and then everyone calmed down.

"On top of that, we've made two new friends, let me introduce you. Umbra of Chaos, the husband of Nyx's daughter Nemesis and leader of the Church of Night, and Ariel of Chaos, who is both his knight and his mother. Thanks to these two, our empire has the protection of the sacred Gryphon, created by our god Hyperion himself."

At Cordelia's words, this time the cheering was directed at both James and Ariel, James turned to Chao and asked, "I didn't know Hyperion created you, is that why you're with me?"

"No, I'm just interested in you, but if you're friends with Cordelia, I'll protect this empire." Chao replied and James smiled and said, "You're a very strange person, it's hard not to respect you."

With these words, the feast seemed to have begun in full. Before moving to the ballroom, the food service and buffet service started and James and Ariel managed to get to a table with Chao next to them.

One of the Empress's daughters was at the table with them, her name was Yue and she was a very calm, mature and respectful lady.

"We're sorry you have to accompany us, young lady," Ariel suddenly said. Yue shook her head as if embarrassed and replied, "I am honoured, ma'am, thank you so much for bringing my mother here safely."

Ariel smiled and turned to James, some things needed to be discussed.
