Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world - Chapter 180
“Welcome home, Eclaite,” Dishonesty greeted me.
I who wasn’t far from her waved my hand as I walked closer. When I reached her, I asked, “Why here?”
“You could say that I hate crowds,” she replied.
The Flugel placed her teacup to the table gracefully. She was an empress, such an attitude might already be a natural part for her.
In addition to her graceful manner, she also had a seductive beauty. Her emerald eyes with shuriken-shaped pupils emit strength, her sensual red lips look so soft, her sharp nose was like being sculpted by a god’s hands, and her face has excellent proportions. I can say, this silver-haired woman who exudes that mature aura is flawless.
The Flugel moved her hand to give us a signal. “Sit down, you too Fallen Elf girl.”
Following her wishes, I took an empty seat. Ruciel also did the same after stiffly, she said, “thank you.”
Miracles appeared on the round white table. A teacup appeared in front of me and Ruciel out of nothing. The teapot floated to pour tea on our cup. At the same time, two plates containing different types of sweets approached us.
My fox’s ears twitched. “This is amazing! Can I do something like this too?”
“If you have a Skill, Telekinesis and master it well, you can do it.”
“What about the teacup that appeared suddenly?”
“Space Magic,” she replied briefly then grows silent. She showed no signs of wanting to speak. Her eyes that keep looking at me made me uncomfortable. My tails moved stiffly as I fidgeted.
After gathering my courage, I asked, “have you greeted the village chief?”
“I have. Together with it, I also learned that you will visit Jeraun to enjoy the Lunar Festival.”
“I’m not going there for fun, okay? I need to enter a tournament and win the top five position to be able to meet with the Elder of Shadow Elves. I need to ask their permission to visit Unnatural Woods.”
Dishonesty nodded then become quiet and still. Sometime later, she said, “don’t hold back, enjoy that tea and sweets.”
“We’ll do it but, can you stop keep looking at me with eyes like that?”
Dishonesty blinked and yes, she didn’t stop to look at me. her lips parted to let out the words, “Do you intend to destroy the Evil God of Reverse’s soul soon? Are you sure you’re ready?”
I tilted my head slightly. “That’s right, I want to destroy the Evil God of Reverse’s soul as soon as possible. But why do you ask me if I’m ready or not?”
“Even though your strength increased in a short period, you are still weak. You’re in too much of a hurry. Besides, where are your friends? Have you found people who are willing to help you complete your mission? You wouldn’t say that the Fallen Elf girl on your side will help you, right?”
“I had a bad feeling after hearing those questions. To be honest, I haven’t asked anyone else for help. Now, can you give me the answer to my question?”
Dishonesty blinked again then sighed.
“Why made a sigh?”
“I forgot this part of you.”
“What do you mean?” I was confused by her words. Seriously, what’s her thinking?
Dishonesty crossed her arms then leaned back in her chair, she closed her eyes. In that mode, I knew she was thinking of something and she wasn’t going to speak anytime soon. So I drank my tea and ate a sweet pastry.
Sometime later, Dishonesty opened her eyes.
“Eclaite, tell me the minimum requirement a Player needs to take the Main Quest, Save The World.”
“Isn’t that obvious? Their level should reach two hundred or more. And that’s the minimum requirement.”
“Can a Player complete the Main Quest alone?”
“Don’t be silly. Of course not, to complete the Main Quest, fifty of high-level Players is needed.”
Dishonesty nodded. “That’s right.”
Knowing that there were no errors in my answers made my tail swing happily. With pride, I said, “don’t underestimate my knowledge.”
“By the way, can you tell me your current level?”
It’s weird. I feel like something’s wrong here. I feel that it’s real. Unfortunately, I couldn’t recognize what I thought was wrong. Dishonesty’s questions were also extremely suspicious.
Hesitantly, I said, “eleven.”
A thin smile adorned Dishonesty’s expressionless face. “Now, if I say that your mission to destroy the souls of Evil Gods has the same tier of difficulty as the Main Quest, what do you think?”
My face was pale instantly. That question made me realize the intent of Dishonesty’s barrage of questions. She was right, I was weak, I wasn’t ready to destroy the souls of the Evil Gods.
“Looks like you’ve noticed it. Once again, are you ready?”
“…no,” I replied weakly. “But, I have no choice but to do so. The Evil Gods will revive soon enough. Wouldn’t it be better if we destroyed them swiftly, especially when their souls were sealed? We have to attack them when they are at their lowest point!”
“Didn’t you absorb my message in Memories Cube into your mind? And tell me, how quickly do you think the Evil Gods will revive?”
“I’ve absorbed it. And you know, It’s quite outrageous when you just tell me the name of the Evil Gods and the three places where they’re sealed. I lack information. Therefore, I use my understanding of Ark Fantasy Online to supplement it. In the story for Main Quest, the Evil Gods will revive within six months. So, here I am, to destroy the Evil God of Reverse’s soul as quickly as possible.”
Dishonesty didn’t say anything for a few seconds after she heard my explanation. A moment later she massaged her forehead.
“I’m sorry,” she began. “It seems, I forgot to include the full information of the Evil Gods into your Memories Cube. I made a mistake. Then I will say, you don’t need to destroy the Evil God of Reverse’s soul for now.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously.”
“But, won’t they revive soon? And I’m sure, we cannot ignore the destruction of the world that will occur soon.”
“The Evil Gods aren’t going to revive anytime soon. They did become more active but at the very least, it took them five years to gather enough power for their awakening. As for destroying the souls of the Evil Gods. I would advise you not to do it for now.”
“Why?”
“Because they are strong and you are weak. You need to know, the stronger a being is, the stronger their soul. Although an Evil God is being sealed, their soul is still bigger than yours. If you decide to absorb their souls now, I’m afraid they will take over your soul.”
“But I absorbed a soul of a strong monster.”
“The level of monsters which its soul you absorb is not far from your level. The monsters lack intelligence. A twenty or forty levels gap from your current level wouldn’t have a huge impact. Then tell me, what will happen if you absorb a soul of a highly intelligent being with a level gap more than two hundred or three hundred from your level?”
“That sounds dangerous!”
“You’re right.” Dishonesty nodded. “After knowing all this, I’m sure you know what you have to do.”
“I need to raise my level!”
