True Magician

Chapter 120

Orario.

- "So, this is the new goddess and her Familia?"

- "Yes. And rumor has it that these two with her are only level one, but they managed to provoke Loki Familia and even stand up to them."

- "But there's at least a level four! How did they manage to do that if they're only level one?"

- "No one knows, and there are many gods watching them right now, trying to solve this mystery."

Listening to all this, my eyebrow twitched in annoyance and a sense of deja vu as I spoon-fed Tia and a satisfied Morgan stood nearby sipping her wine.

We were now at the Banquet of the Gods, organized by Ganesa, one of Orario's wealthiest gods. Tia had gotten an invitation and she didn't want to turn down a bunch of delicious food. I went because I didn't want to leave her alone, and Morgan just followed me.

The banquet was held at Ganesa Familia residence, and it looked very lavish. Just like the demons with their enclosures, to make a long story short. Many gods of varying degrees of divinity were present, and I even managed to hear a couple of familiar names. The organizer himself, Ganesa, was an odd-looking man with tanned skin, a muscular body, and a red-and-yellow mask on his face. He was a bit like Gil in temperament, that is, bright, loud, and caring about people, but not as arrogant.

At first, I thought that Familia members were not allowed in here, only gods, but we were let in quite calmly, though with a warning not to cause trouble or take on too much, i.e. nothing unexpected.

I sighed tiredly.

It had only been a day since that skirmish organized by Morgan, and the gods were already actively discussing it. However, it was nothing new, because they had come down to this world because they were bored, and something like this would certainly attract their attention. The reason for Morgan's prank, though...

- "Did you have to make a fuss?" I asked the Fairy Queen, "I understand that you were interested in one girl, but why would you do that?"

- "The status of a third-rate Familia does not suit us, we are above it, husband. What about the girl? I felt a kind of kinship with her, just like there." she said calmly, to which I raised an eyebrow.

- "A fairy?"

- "No, I'd say elemental, and only partially." Morgan explained.

Spirits are an extension of the planet itself. They can take many forms, fairy, pixie, or elemental, but the essence is the same. Each of them has a strong connection to the world and nature, but for some reason there are almost none here. At least not right now. I suppose Morgan's interest is understandable, but I'd prefer to sit tight for now. Also, she never answered the question.

At some point, we were joined by someone we already knew. And a rather pleasant one, I must say.

- "Good evening, Lady Hestia." I greeted her.

- "Hello, I'm glad to meet you here," she said cheerfully, and hugged Tia, who smiled good-naturedly, "I heard you had a fight with Loki Familia. You weren't hurt?"

- "That's a big word for it," Morgan grinned, "If we did have a 'fight,' they..."

- "It's okay, we just talked and managed to come to an understanding," I said, covering her mouth, to which she rolled her eyes, "By the way, Lady Hestia, how is your child? I heard he ran into a minotaur."

- "Yes, and he was saved by that wench," she said with a grimace on her face, and then she grew sad and began to fill her plate, "Sometimes I don't know what to do with him. Bell's been putting himself in too much danger lately, and it's been making my heart uneasy."
