Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 304

After eating the dish that was served for Lunch, Ryder stood up from the table.
"Let's look around the mansion. They already allowed us to. It would be bad for us to not take them up on their offer," Ryder told Shu.
"Hmm? Do you want to find her?" Shu asked as he smiled.
"Keia? Not at all. I just want to see the mansion," Ryder replied.
"I will eat a little more. You should go and take a look. I'm still feeling hungry," Shu told Ryder, shaking his head.
"Right. This food is good for your health. Eat as much as you want. I'll be back shortly," Ryder told Shu before he turned back to leave.
Ryder left the main hall alone as he wandered around the long hallways of the mansion.
"Little Master, should I tell you the places that you should visit in the mansion?" One of the Servants asked Ryder.
The servants were informed that people might be going around the mansion to look around. They were told to help them and make sure that their experience was good. The Silva Mansion had many great places that were worth seeing, and they were tasked with informing the guests about them in case someone wanted to see them.
"What places you might suggest?" Ryder asked the young servant.
"We have the human-made water fountain, the private zoo, the Museum of Ancient, the Statue Hall where we have statues of all the heads of the Silva Family since the beginning. We also gave a place where all the paintings created by Young Miss Keia are exhibited. Which place would you like to see?" The servant asked Ryder.
"Oh? Your Young Miss Keia creates paintings?" Ryder asked with an amused look on his face.

"Yes. She not only creates them, but she's very good at them as well. It's said that painting is one of her greatest talents. Even professional painters praise her incredible paintings," the servant told Ryder.
"So, do you want to see the Painting Exhibition? Most of the guests selected to see that place," he inquired.
"Ah, no. I don't want to see that place. I'm more curious about the Museum of the Ancient, though. What's that place?" Ryder asked the servant.
"The Museum of Ancient? Right. It's like a museum that houses many old and ancient things of our clan that are not treasures. Even though they are not Treasures for the clan, they are still really precious. So no one is allowed to touch them. You can only admire them from at least two meters of distance. Breaking the rules is a Punishable offense. Do you still want to see?" the servant inquired.
'Why wouldn't I? It seems like that's why I came here after all. A place that has the word Ancient in it, and I'm looking for clues about the Ancient Cultivation Family. That seems like the best place to start from,' Ryder thought.
"Alright. Take me there," he told the servant.
"As you wish," the servant nodded his head.
He escorted Ryder to a certain room. The room had a wooden black door. The servant opened the door.
"This is the Museum of Ancient. No one chose to see this place, so you have this all to yourself for the time. Just don't touch anything. I'll stay outside," the servant told Ryder.
"Wait, aren't you going to keep an eye on me?" Ryder inquired with a curious look on his face.
He wondered how they were going to know if he did something inside without keeping an eye on him.

"There's no need to. You can't take any of the items outside without getting caught after all. There's a mechanism around this kingdom. Whenever something from this mansion goes outside, a Siren starts ringing. So even if you steal, you'll get caught when you step out of the mansion," the servant informed Ryder.
"A Siren system. Interesting. How does it work?" Ryder asked innocently, trying to get some information.
"I can't tell you that," the servant said, v refusing to answer.
"It must be that there's some chip or something on the items that get activated when it's too far away from the core. It's such a cheap trick. There's nothing interesting or mysterious about it," Ryder said. He made sure that the servant heard him.
"No. That's not it! It's the scent of the items. If you touch them and break the rules, you'll get that scent on you. If you touch anything inside and walk out the door, or if you take any item and do the same, you'll get caught. The for has a mechanism that captures and scans for the smell. It's way more mysterious than that you said!" The Servant responded fiercely.
"Oh? That's indeed interesting. Thanks for telling me," Ryder told the servant as he walked inside.
The servant has his mouth opened wide as he realized that he had just told Ryder the secret.
"It's fine. Even if he knows, what can he do? He still can't take anything out. Now he'll just be more sure not to touch anything," the servant muttered as he justified his actions to himself.
Ryder walked inside the room that seemed like an old library. There were many shelves that had various items. All these shelves were ten meters away from each other to give people enough space to walk in between them and observe them without getting close to the items.
The walls of the room seemed to be giving an old aura, making it seem to be more mysterious.
Ryder walked over to the first shelf and looked at the first item.
It seemed to be an average grey rock piece. Ryder read the name tag on the shelf below the rock.
"Rock of Afsha," He muttered in confusion.
"Do they expect me to know what it is just from its name?" Ryder let out as he smiled wryly. He expected there to be a description of the items near them, but there were only names.
He was about to move over, but his gaze fell on the ground. Ryder before him, there were a few words written on the ground.
"Rock of Afsha, the rock that was thrown by the Young King Caesar when he was just a kid," Ryder read the words on the ground.
'These idiots. They write the names of the items on paper on the shelf and write the description on the ground. Couldn't they write and hand the description beside the name tag,' Ryder thought as he smiled wryly.
He moved over to the second item.
"This?" he muttered with a frown on his face as he read the name of the item.

Fantasy World
Spencer Underwood has little realistic hope of escaping his paraplegic, bullied, and friendless high school existence. At least until he and three classmates are unrealistically transported to Nibiru, a legendary fantasy world ruled by mythological gods and inhabited by strange races and nightmarish monsters. Spence can walk again, which is good considering he will have to use his online fantasy role-playing game experience to lead the dysfunctional party on the gods’ quest and summon the courage to finally stand up to Trey, his worst bully from school. Success means survival and earning respect and acceptance, especially from Morgan, his attractive but snarky Goth classmate. But Spence discovers Nibiru is more a world of science fiction than fantasy, and they are just unwitting pawns in a deadly scheme of the gods. If completing the quest doesn’t result in their return to Earth, the party may have to do the unthinkable and challenge the gods themselves. (The novel is complete at 56 chapters, so feel free to jump in without fear of it fizzling out in a premature demise.)
