Chapter 143: The Throne That Waits It's Owner
James was pleased as he looked at the abilities he had gained, as soon as he smiled he realised that his surroundings had started to change and then he started to notice the changes with his naked eyes.
Ariel couldn't see these differences because it was more important to try to save the 5th floor and Moros' help had made that possible, at least until James arrived on the scene.
Now James could see the banners of the Church of Night forming inside the temple and the priests on their knees in worship.
Each of the priests and priestesses looked at James with bright eyes, and James soon realised why.
When he looked at his own shadow, he saw that it was covering the statue of Nyx that had formed just behind him, he couldn't hold back a smile and then said, "Right, I mustn't forget who I respect, who I am."
"Could you please take me to the main church? I'd like to talk about some things," he asked, he was not going to continue on his way immediately, he would first rest in the area of the church and then buy hundreds of bottles of strong to weak poison to train himself on poison.
As the priests and nuns around heard these words, several suddenly started to move, and only one stopped in front of James.
The man was on his knees with his hands clasped together, worshipping James like a god.
James smiled as he saw what was happening and pulled the man to his feet with his joined hands.
"Please stand up, Master Priest," James said, and with that the man nodded excitedly, almost not knowing what to say.
"I would be happy if you would introduce yourself," James suddenly said and the man bowed to James and said, "My name is Leon, Lord Umbra."
James couldn't help but be surprised when he heard these words, he had a smiling face and at the same time, he seemed to be surprised.
"I didn't know you called me lord even here, I'm honoured," James said, and with that the man who introduced himself as Leon bowed again and said, "Our great goddess Nyx told us what you were like, how you saved the fifth floor and everything else, we'd be fools not to call you that, my lord!"
With that, several of the departing priests and priestesses returned, pointing outside the temple. James turned one last time to the statue of Nyx and then bowed his head gently and left the temple, saying, "I know you're watching me, my lady, but I still felt like I had to do this."
He had a lot to do, but after a not-very-long time, he arrived at the main church area, where he saw Ariel greeting him.
"You're late, James," Ariel said. Every priest and priestess was surprised to hear the name James, they knew that Ariel was the commander of the church, but no one had thought that he was so close to the lord.

"I am still wondering if I should call you mother or big sister my dear friend Ariel." James suddenly said, Ariel chuckled and then said "You told it yourself no? My dear friend Ariel."
With those words, James and Ariel entered the church building and James muttered:
"I'm not going to lie, this church looks great," James said. Everyone had to admit that he was right.
The church was huge, but in the main hall, or rather in the throne room of the church, everything could be seen easily.
There were pictures of each Chaos-Born on the windows of the room or hall, they looked as if they were made together with porcelain glasses. James was amazed that the people in the church recognised the Chaos-Borns, indeed every single glass looked perfect.
In addition, dozens of paintings were hung on the walls. Thinking about who was skilful enough to draw these paintings, James was stunned by what he saw.
"It is said that every single painting here, my lord, painted almost a million years ago, was done by an artist to remind people of what the church was when the power of the church sadly began to weaken. The craftsmanship and power of the artist was immense, he was even rumoured to have been a priest of the church, it is a pity that his name or reputation is now forgotten.
At least these paintings bear that honour where we can see it." Leon suddenly said, James nodded his head when he heard these words, he didn't even need to say anything, Leon had said it all for him and praised him.
With that James' eyes turned to the far end of the hall, what he was looking at could be seen by everyone who had started to follow behind him.
James began to walk with slow steps towards the throne at the far end of the hall where the stairs led up. With each step, he seemed to indicate to those in the hall that the owner of the throne had returned.
James, who started to climb the stairs one by one, began to think with each step that his ancestor was sitting on this throne a long time ago. With each step, he kept imagining whether he had lived up to this honour or not.
He heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and Ariel suddenly passed James and stood by the throne.
"I'm training myself in the use of the sword, Moros says I have a lot of potential, which means your head guard should be at your side, and the one the paladin serves should be in his place," Ariel suddenly said.
Hearing those words, James made it up the stairs, touched the top of the throne once and stood waiting, as if arguing that this beautiful throne should be praised.
Now he would be able to claim another of his ancestor's legacies.
The Black bloodline was officially back in the tower.
