Chapter 438: Not Over Yet?

Chapter 438: Not Over Yet?

After I lay in the hammock I made I ended up sleeping without realizing it, at least I slept until I was thrown out of the hammock and hit my head on the floor.

"Wake up, we don't have time for lazybones during a crisis." (Aredhel)

"You fucking High Priestess, does it hurt to be a little kinder to the person who was fighting a short time ago to defend your village?" (I)

"It costs me a lot, I already had to go to great lengths not to stab you in your sleep, so be grateful." (Aredhel)

Sigh

"I'm not going to waste my time talking to someone who doesn't understand communication, but what can you expect from someone so childish?" (I)

"I knew I should have taken my chance to stab you first." (Aredhel)

"You talk a lot to someone who doesn't even dare try." (I)

"You damn Vampire..." (Aredhel)

"Now let's stop here, I'm too tired to deal with childish fights, so spare me that." (Luthien)

"..." (I/Aredhel)

As if it wasn't enough to be woken up so aggressively, I still have to exchange words with this damned High Priestess with aggression issues.

But before a fight starts, the Elf Queen appears sitting in the hammock with a tired face and yawning.

"I told you to call him, not fight him." (Luthien)

"I'm sorry ma'am, but I can't bear to look at that bastard's face." (Aredhel)

Sigh

"Never mind, since I'm here we'll settle this soon." (Luthien)

The Elf Queen who appears out of nowhere and looks exhausted waves her hand making two wooden chairs form from plants growing from the ground, so Aredhel and I sit down while the Elf Queen remains seated in my hammock.

"First of all I would like to thank you for helping us this year, Zenos." (Luthien)

"I must also apologize as the worst monsters seem to have gone to the side where your troops were defending, plus most of the Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters also attacked the place where you were." (Luthien)

"Wait, wait, wait there!" (I)

"What do you mean the worst enemies came to us?" (I)

"Your side of the village was attacked by the vast majority of plant-type monsters, these are the worst as this forest is full of poisons and illusions, plant-type monsters also follow the same path as the environment they are in." (Luthien)

"Furthermore, you faced twice as many monsters as our troops' side, and many more monsters of the Lower Catastrophe Grade." (Luthien)

"Why did this happen?" (I)

"Maybe it's nature trying to kill you..." (Aredhel)

"Stop being childish Aredhel, you're not a child anymore, so stop acting like one." (Luthien)

"I apologize my lady." (Aredhel)

"Answering your question, Zenos." (Luthien)

"Maybe it's just your luck that was bad this time, you have to understand that luck can't favor everyone." (Luthien)

"Lucky..." (I)

Tears

"(I knew this damn luck would get me killed one day.)" (I)

Tears

"(One day I will find a way to increase this luck, even if it means threatening the God or Goddess of Luck for that.)" (I)

"That's why I want to ask for your help in dealing with these monsters if possible." (Luthien)

"..." (I)

I would really like to leave, she said there are more than 30 Lower Catastrophe Grade monsters, I don't want to face that kind of danger for no reason, I also don't want to put my companions and family in danger.

"This time you're asking too much of me." (I)

"I know, so I'm thinking of paying you." (Luthien)

"I'm not such a greedy person to be driven by something like money." (I)

"Actually, from what I've observed of you so far, I know you're looking for something or more precisely someone." (Luthien)

"Your information is wrong, I'm not looking for anyone..." (I)

"You've been looking for a Magic Engineer, am I right?" (Luthien)

"..." (I)

"How do you know that?" (I)

"It wasn't hard to find out as his followers asked about some talented Magic Engineer in various cities." (Aredhel)

"I know where you can find one, plus one with great talent and just as crazy as you." (Luthien)

"Who are you calling crazy?" (I)

"I can help you find him, but this will be payment for your help, what do you think?" (Luthien)

"(That's a good proposal, but I'm still more inclined to decline, I don't want to put others in danger.)" (I)

"I heard everything, we accepted." (Vanessa)

"No, we don't." (I)

"Father, we easily finished with twenty of these monsters, this fight against the 32 will count with the help of the Elves too." (Vanessa)

"We should never underestimate an enemy Vanessa, even if she is a stupid monster." (I)

"You may not know it, but many Dungeon people are ready to evolve, so you should accept that, these monster waves are helping us too." (Vanessa)

"Besides, we'll have time to prepare ourselves against this wave of monsters, so why not accept it?" (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

"I can guarantee that others will also want to participate in this battle." (Vanessa)

"(There really are a lot of muscle heads in my group so I guess they didn't mind, plus I have time to do better preparation now that I know what I'm going to face.)" (I)

Sigh

"Alright, you've won, I'll take it if this High Priestess says "please" to me." (I)

"I will not do that." (Aredhel)

The Elf Queen just looks at her with a smile and Aredhel breaks into a sweat.

"That would be very degrading to me, my lady..." (Aredhel)

"Aredhel..." (Luthien)

"..." (Aredhel)

Aredhel turns to me with anger burning in her eyes as she speaks, her words laden with murderous intent.

"Please help us... Zenos..." (Aredhel)

"Since you asked so politely I accept, ha hahahaha..." (I)

As I was laughing vines grow from the chair where Aredhel is sitting to arrest her who tried to attack me.
