In fact, most of the girls who were trained as the Lion King Agency's future sorcerer were orphans brought back from the outside world.
Some of them had been abandoned by their parents due to their excellent Spiritual Power quality, while others had obtained special constitutions due to being embroiled in certain incidents. There were also some who had accidentally learned a portion of the Mages' abilities and were finally recruited.
Shue Cai was the former. She was an orphan at first, but the Lion King Agency valued her excellent spiritual ability, so they adopted her and trained her.
And Yu Ri was one of the few people in the Lion King Agency whose family was still alive.
Her parents were employees of the Lion King Agency, and she also had a younger brother who was about the same age as her. Her whole family was related to the Lion King Agency, which was why she had entered the Kingdom of High Gods, with the goal of becoming a Sword Wizard, and received training from the Lion King Agency.
Wei Li was also talented in this area. Even though she was only one year older than Xue Cai, she was one of the top students among her peers. If they were to compare their skills as a Sword Shaman, Wei Li wouldn't be too far behind Xue Cai.
If it weren't for that, Yu Ri wouldn't have been on the candidate list of the God's Child's Watcher, and she was a candidate to use the Type-Seven Assault Demon Machine Gun.
But in the end, because Yu Ri's family was famous in the Lion King Agency, the higher-ups were concerned about Yu Ri's family and removed her from the dangerous task of monitoring the God's Child.
Yu Ri missed that position, and Shue Cai became the God's Child's Watcher. She hadn't graduated from the Lion King Agency, but she went to Flux God Island with the Type-Seven Assault Demon Machine Gun as a Sword Sorcerer trainee.
Yu Ri's feelings were actually very complicated.
On one hand, she was relieved that she didn't have to deal with such a dangerous task.
On one hand, Wei Ri felt an indescribable sense of frustration at having his delusions shattered.
But for Shue Cai, Yu Ri also felt guilty.
Because …
"If I can use the Type-Seven Assault Demon Machine Gun better, or if Shue has a family like me, then Shue doesn't need to take on the dangerous task of monitoring the God's Child."
All this time, Yuuri had always felt like she was pushing all the dangerous matters onto Shue Cai. She had always been brooding over this.
This girl's personality was surprisingly approachable, and she was kind-hearted. She was different from the other girls in the Tower of High Gods. Perhaps it was because she grew up with the care and love of her parents and family.
Zhi Xu responded with a gentle gaze.
But …
"That's not a good way of thinking, Yu." Zhi Xu said sternly, "It's necessary to keep an eye on the Divine Child. Someone has to step up. Even if it's not Ji Zhuo, it'll be another Sword Sorcerer. You're just one of them. It's very arrogant of you to think that someone else took the risk for you just because you didn't manage to take on the dangerous mission."
"Zhixu …" Wei Li said with some grievance, "That's true, but I wasn't chosen because my family is working in the Lion King Agency. I feel like I'm being protected while Xiao Xue is being abandoned."
Because she was an orphan, even if something happened to her during a dangerous mission, it wouldn't matter.
No one would mourn her, and she wouldn't bring any trouble to the organization. That was how Shue Cai felt.
On the other hand, Wei Li had been spared because of his family. This was like telling everyone that Wei Li's background was better than everyone else's, so he could receive special treatment. This made Wei Li feel quite uncomfortable.
"It's not that I don't understand how you feel." Zhi Xu sighed and then comforted her, "But you don't have to worry too much. Maybe Ji Zhuo is doing well now and isn't in danger at all."
"Really?" Wei Li didn't really believe it.
"Think about it. Although he's strong, he's not the incarnation of evil like the Fourth True Ancestor. Even if he's the Witch's younger brother, he might be protected by a god. He shouldn't be a bad person, right?" Zhi Xu thought about it and said, "Also, I heard that before he met the Fourth True Ancestor, the Divine Child had been studying in a normal school, which proves that he's a normal person who can live in a normal society. He wouldn't hurt Xiao Xue, would he?"
Hearing that, Wei Li thought about it and felt that it made sense.
However, Zhi Xu changed the topic.
"However, most people don't have a good impression of a watcher who comes to them out of nowhere. It should be very unpleasant to have someone around you who wants to kill you when you lose control. Besides, he doesn't seem to get along well with our Lion King Agency this time. Even Lord Xian Guyong was suppressed by him and had to reveal the information here. Maybe he'll vent his anger on Ji Zhuo, or maybe she's already …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhi Xu's voice became lower and lower until he couldn't speak anymore.
Because …
"Oh, I'm so worried about Xiao Xue."
Wei Li looked like she was about to burst into tears, which made Zhi Xu panic.
"Okay … okay, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. Ji Zhuo will be fine!" Zhi Xu said hurriedly, "Think about it. Ji Zhuo's performance has been excellent since before. She's one year younger than us, but she's stronger than us. Only that guy from Huang Ban can suppress her!"
At this point, Zhi Xu's expression also became unhappy.
"Ahahaha." Wei Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Zhi Xu is still the same as before, always competing with Sha Yahua."
"Who's competing with her?" Zhi Xu immediately retorted. "I'm just speechless at that misogynist."
"Alright, alright." Wei Li comforted the agitated Zhi Xu and said as if she had recovered, "Then what should we do next?"
"Let's go check on Yusha and Agulola Florestina first." Zhi Xu thought for a while and said, "The ceremony is about to start, and the guardian who brought them here is nowhere to be found. We must take good care of them."
"Okay." Wei Li nodded.
The two of them went to the depths of the main hall and entered a room.
In this room, two girls were lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Looking at the two girls, Wei Li couldn't help but ask.
"Can we really bring them to the ceremony without waking them up?"
Wei Li seemed to be quite concerned.
"I really want to object as well. I feel like this is basically forcing them to help us without their consent, and even ignoring their wishes. Even if it's the Lion King Agency, isn't it a bit too much to go this far?"
Zhi Xu also frowned.
No matter what, the Lion King Agency was a national secret service. If it was necessary, they would have to make sacrifices if they had no other choice. But to ignore their own wishes and blatantly make use of ordinary citizens, it was really a little unpleasant.
But Wei Li and Zhi Xu couldn't do anything about it.
After all, they were only low-level personnel and couldn't make the decision.
"I heard that they're friends with His Highness the Son of God. It's because of them that His Highness the Son of God went against Lord Xian Guyong and even came all the way here."
It was unknown what Wei Li was thinking when she said such a thing.
"That's right."
Zhi Xu seemed to be mocking himself.
"Compared to him, we're the villains."
Wei Li and Zhi Xu had a lot on their minds.
They had no idea that the development of this matter would exceed everyone's expectations.
