Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 301: Five Ancient Families

" The bathwater of Queen Afsana?" Ryder let out with a weird look on his face as he longed at a small vial on the shelf that seemed to have some water.

He looked at the ground for description.

"The bathwater in which Queen Afsana of Kingdom of Riamsi bathed in 1200AD."

"What the heck? How did they even get this item," Ryder looked at the small vial with an annoyed look on his face.

He moved over to the third item on the shelf.

"The Gauntlet of Manushh," He read the name of the item as he liked at the silver gauntlet on the shelf.

He read less description.

"The Gauntlet which the Brave Warrior King Manushh wore when he commanded to wipe half the population of his enemy Kingdom. Only women and kids were spared," Ryder muttered.

"So much history here. How the heck did they even find these things. I wonder if they made up most of it," Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly.

"Are you calling my Family Liar?"

Ryder had just said about these descriptions being made up when he heard a female voice.

"Cute Little Thief, what are you doing here?" Ryder asked without even looking back.

"I should be the one asking you this question. Why are you interested in old stuff?" Keia asked Ryder.

"You should answer my question first, little thief," Ryder told Keia as he shook his head.

" No one seemed to be interested in these old things. I was walking by when I saw little Dan standing outside. He told me that one guest selected to see the Museum of Ancient. I wanted to see who in this day and age decided to see this place," Keia told Ryder. " Now, answer my question."

"I am just more interested in things of the time forgotten. There’s nothing wrong with this," Ryder answered.

"Anyway, it’s good that I got you alone. So, Cute Little Thief, tell me. Why did you steal my wallet? Looking at you, I don’t think you lacked the money or food. Was it for fun? Or were you especially targeting me?" he asked Keia.

"Hmph, why would I target you. I was just out to have fun. I had hidden myself, so I could freely walk through the city when I saw you. You were walking in such a swag like a rich idiot; I couldn’t control myself from thinking of trying to teach you a lesson. Who knew that you would be such a stubborn person," Keia replied as she shook her head.

" You were able to catch up to me despite the fact that I tried so hard to shake you off. You’re definitely not a normal person. The way you jumped off the roofs, even Chu Clan members weren’t able to do it when they chased after me. Who is your master?" She inquired with a frown.

"My Master?" Ryder let out in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about.

" Yes, your master. The person who taught you cultivation," Keia clarified.

’ The person who taught me cultivation? She thinks that I was able to catch up to her because I cultivated? Doesn’t that mean she’s actually a... With her help, I should be able to get more information,’ Ryder thought as he looked at the girl.

"Why should I tell you about my Master? Anyway, how did you find out that I learned cultivation?" Ryder replied, without clearing the fact that he was not a Cultivator.

" Are you kidding me? There’s no way you don’t know about my family. If I wouldn’t know it, then who would?" Keia asked.

"Hah, your family? Why don’t you tell me about your family from your own mouth? I don’t believe what I hear from vague sources. I want to hear what the Young Miss of the Silva Clan knows about her family," Ryder asked with an interested look on his face.

"Hmph, what’s there to not believe? Do you have any doubt that our family is really a Cultivation Family?" Keia said as she rolled her eyes.

" Oh? Just a Cultivation Family? I don’t put much mind into things other than my cultivation, so I don’t know much about the outside world, but I did hear a rumor that the Silva Family was an Ancient Cultivation Family?" Ryder said with an interested look on his face.

"Ancient Cultivation Family? There are only Five Ancient Cultivation Families in this country and only one in this part of the country. Even though our family is close to that level, we still can’t qualify as an Ancient Cultivation Family, so someone was probably messing around with you," Keia replied, shaking her head.

It was generally prohibited to spill the secrets about the cultivation world before mortals. Still, as Keia misunderstood Ryder as a Cultivator, she thought that it was normal for her to talk to him since he was a part of the same world as her.

"Cute Little Thief, as I said, I don’t put much focus on the outside world generally, so I’m unaware of such things. Would you mind telling me which Ancient Cultivation Family is in the vicinity?" Ryder asked Keia.

He knew that this mission of finding the ancient cultivation family had something to do with saving Bastion’s life, and the family that placed his life in danger should be from the same vicinity, most probably.

" Oh, that family would be..."

Keia was about to answer when the door of the hall was suddenly opened as another person walked inside.

"Hmm? Miss Keia, you’re here," the person greeted Keia.

"Uhmm? I’m sorry, but I don’t know your name," Keia replied, shaking her head as she looked at the young man that had just barged inside.

"This little kid is Rahil. He’s the son of Major General Raul. Don’t put any focus on this kid," Ryder said casually as he waved his head towards Rahil.

" Why are you here? Shoo, little kids should stay with their parents. Learn your manners with your daddy and then roam around," Ryder stood to Rahil.

"Pfft."

Keia couldn’t help but laugh as she saw Ryder addressing a man who clearly looked many years older than him as a kid.

"You! You’re looking to die!" Rahil yelled at Ryder as his face turned red.

" Master Rahil, this is a party of the Silva Clan, and everyone here is our guest. I don’t appreciate you threatening a guest like that. Please go back to the hall," Keia told Rahil in an annoyed tone.

"Ah, Miss Keia, it’s not that. I just heard that you were here and I came to talk to you about something. It was his fault as he started mocking me. Still, I apologize for losing my composure," Rahil started apologizing as he saw Keia getting angry.
