Chapter 886 Main Quests, Side Quests
886 Main Quests, Side Quests
After talking it through, the two decided that it was best if they left this temple.
Walking close to the idol may trigger a side quest and Lith wasn't ready to take on it anytime soon. There was a main quest pending and he first wanted to get done with that.
By now, Lith was using game terminology to refer to things.
Dushkarbor's adventure was a side quest he had to do to have a stronger physique and get to understand what actual body cultivation was.
His own world had it, but it was not the best.
Lith's world was more about magic cultivation than body or anything else. They were masters of it and had an unworldly connection with the elements.
The main quest that Lith was talking about was the world war he was planning out. There were far too many things that came into play and each piece had to be put together to get an acceptable outcome.
Keeping his main quest on hold, Lith's focus right now was to chill with his wife and have a great honeymoon.
Lith took Arya back to Vitalis and roamed around the city with her, once again exploring what all things it had to offer.
When they were done touring, he took her to a spot where she could use her elemental abilities and do some magic.
Arya ended up creating a boat purely out of water and covered it with the Dark elemental energy that came from from the very depths of the ocean.
One thing about the Dark element that she mentioned to Lith was Darkness was everywhere, but Light wasn't.
Throughout the whole universe, Dark was spread out a big sheet of paper that stretched infinitely across the expanse of Space and Time.
On this very sheet of paper, there were small orbs of gases that were emitting out Light in all directions.
This emission, which was also nothing else but Light itself, slowly spread throughout the Dark sheet and tried to illuminate it completely and engulf it.
Now, in legends and fairytales, Light always won over Dark, but in actuality, Light always tried to compete while Dark was in a league of its own.
It didn't matter to the Dark element what Light was trying to do. The Dark element simply continued on with its expansion and was laid back.
Light always had to catch up with it and this was what Arya meant that Darkness was everywhere, but Light wasn't.
Lith's understanding on the Dark element exponentially increased as he understood this and getting a newfound knowledge, he turned to Arya who was sitting beside him on the dark boat and asked,
"So, Dark's better than Light?"
Arya shook her head at this. "All elements are equal. It's merely the nature of Dark to always be everywhere and the nature of Light to always try to conquer Dark. Remember honey..."
There was no enmity in nature. It was all about balance.
If there was no Light and Dark was allowed to expand as much as it wanted, there would be no life or anything per se.
It would just be one sole element in the universe, the Dark element, and nobody else present to gauge its strength.
However...
"My maids..."
Keith, Fanny, and Fei almost spit the tea they were drinking while Sylvia unknowingly felt a chill as well.
Lith looked at the reaction of his maids and walking close to them, asked, "What is it? Why do you all look so pale? Have you all perhaps changed your species to Vampire?"
Lith made a bad joke, but the maids got up, bowed and greeted him, ignoring all of his comments.
Keith, Fanny, and Fei stuck together and couldn't help but brace their cheeks subconsciously. Even though no interaction had taken place so far, one may never know what went on in their perverted master's head.
Lith really was a big pervert in their opinion and everytime he was near, their tender peaches were at risk.
This subtle fear could be felt by Lith, who couldn't help but chuckle internally.
Meanwhile Sylvia was as neutral as always, showing or feeling nothing.
Just like the black puppy in her arms, there was no thought in her mind and she was totally blank.
Lith could read her like an open book, but for now, didn't comment on anything and stayed quiet.
Lith took a seat at their table and looking at the standing ladies in uniforms, asked, "So my maids, I've been hearing that you all have been slacking a lot lately. Any reason why?"
"Slacking?" Fanny asked back. "Your Highness, we've been diligently doing whatever work's given to us."
Lith rubbed his chin and said, "Really? But I don't think you're doing your work."
Fanny shook her head and continued, "No, Your Highness. We have been doing it. You can ask anyone or check the records."
Lith continued to rub his non-existent stubble and replied, "Being my maids, your job is to miss your Master and always sing his praises, but I don't see any of you doing it."
'What...' The maids were dumbfounded hearing that.
Ignoring their surprise, Lith continued, "I've been spying on you guys for the past two hours and saw not a single mention of me. Truly very pathetic. Such a slacker attitude definitely deserves punishment. Don't you all think so?"
The three were totally dumbfounded by now while Sylvia also felt this to be very silly and irrational.
However, their opinions didn't matter whatsoever and Lith hurriedly said, "C'mon you guys, don't waste time. I've got more things to do. Fei, you first."
"W-What?" Fei was shocked.
Lith sighed and getting up, said, "It seems I need to come towards you instead."
"W-w-wha— Master, wai—"
PAH!
"Owwwf!"
