My Magical System-Chapter 267 - Celebration
267 Celebration
Azure and Amber also received a gift from the elder. Each of them received a flying creature. They were not human-beast hybrids, but beast to beast hybrids with some parts of their bodies from different kinds of beasts.
Azure’s beast was a two-tailed black cat with a red jewel on its forehead and a pair of bat wings. Amber’s beast was a four-eyed two-tailed red, white hound with a pair of falcon-like wings.
Eman could not accept that only his pet was a human-face beast. He also wanted a normal pet for once!
As he looked around, Eman thought to himself that this place had become so shady. The elder’s domain was such a place, maybe calling it a laboratory or a facility must be the right word for the elder’s domain seeing all the work he was working on inside.
Eman took a while talking with the Elder Dark Priest before they came back to the village. The ring he received from the elder was just the prototype, it was just a sample. The real deal will come later after he tested the prototype. That said, the mass production of it will come after his ‘go’ signal. Though, he only needed enough numbers for his few selected people.
Seeing the village a few yards away, Eman said his farewell to Amber and Azure as he needed to go on a different path. He didn’t want to wander around the village where his people were busy preparing for the banquet. He didn’t want to unnecessarily distract their preparations.
“Is that so, My lord?” Asked Azure.
“Yes.”
“How about the banquet My lord?” Amber looked at him with pleading eyes.
.....
“I’ll be there with my sister.”
“Yay! We’re so looking forward to seeing the princess later!”
They shouted happily.
After that, Eman proceeded to the woods. Arriving at his little house, he heard the kid’s excited voices that overlapped with the voice on the video they were watching.
Eman carefully went inside by erasing his presence to not bother them. As expected, all of their focus was on the monitor, especially Eina’s. It must be a big mystery to her about the object in front of her.
Eman smiled at Eina’s stupified expression. He could guess what was in her mind at this moment just based solely on the expression on her face.
She probably wondered about the object in front of her. And the characters inside it. Although Sky and the other kids were explaining to her that it was a gadget that her lord produced, none of their words processed well in her mind.
Ehhh?! Ehhh?!
Eina thought with her eyes glued on it. While the other kids looked fascinated at the show, Eina on the other hand just could not understand the object in front of her. She was even unaware of the time they spent watching the video.
In regards to Eina’s doubts about whether Sky was his biological daughter, Eman obviously denied it. But since he could not tell her about her origin as a [Ratman], he told her that she used to be an orphan and he helped her. Hearing him, Eina looked at Sky much warmer after that and saw his brother more respectable than before. Her brother was such a good person. She knew it!
Since darkness already veiled outside and the time for the banquet was only a few minutes, Eman then called out to them.
“Hey, kids. You must prepare now for the celebration.”
“My lord!”
“My lord!”
“My lord!”
“Brother!”
Their voices overlapped. All of them looked in his direction at the same time.
Wearing their extravagant dresses, Eman along with her sister and the three kids arrived at the courtyard in the middle of the village.
Eina was wearing a light blue one-piece dress and Sky was wearing a black and white gothic dress and a pair of cat ears. Eman already gave up asking whether Sky really likes those cat ears or not. The other two kids also wore nice dresses and suits.
All his people have already gathered around. When they saw him with Eina and the kids, all their heads bowed slightly toward them and greeted them with full respect.
Eman just wore a black jacket over his white shirt which paired with his dark pants and black shoes.
Looking at his people, Eman could not help but think that everyone looked more sophisticated and dignified than at their previous celebration. Finally, his people were able to adapt the knowledge they had learned through various means.
All of them were now wearing presentable dresses and suits, though not as lovely as the kids’ and Eina’s.
Nonetheless, some of his people were absent tonight. The 15 commanders and their squads were not here and also Night.
The Elder Dark Priest was also not here. Well, judging him, he must be more interested in his work than a banquet. Eman didn’t want to force him to join anyway. He understood that the elder had many things he needed to do. Moreover, the method to heal a broken Magician’s Seed was still unknown to them.
But, he should have time to relax as well, no?
He heard from Azure and Amber that Borris was wandering around in this world in search of power. He was probably in training somewhere. If he likes, he could send a telepathic communication to Borris anytime, then he would surely rush to come here, but Eman didn’t want to disturb him this time.
Eman smiled at everyone after stopping in the center. It was a spacious courtyard surrounded by long rectangular tables that were wrapped in thin and smooth pieces of cloth.
On those tables were different kinds of cooked foods and drinks.
“Thank you for gathering here tonight. Everyone, let’s enjoy tonight’s celebration to our heart’s content!”
Eina could still not understand why her brother was seen as an important person by these people here. Although he received a noble title from the palace, it wasn’t that long since he received it and only a few people knew about it.
Also, when she observed everyone’s expression toward her brother, it seemed all of them knew of him long enough.
After his speech, everyone clapped their hands and shouted something like ‘All Hail, Our lord!’.
Their celebration went smoothly and everyone was having fun. Even Eina had fun as well just looking at the expression on her face. She was surrounded by some new friends, she looked very happy.
Eman smiled at her. He was glad that she enjoyed their company.
“My lord, I wanted to have a private talk with you about some important things after this,” whispered the village chief.
“Of course,” Eman nodded.
