Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 1056 Raised A Flag

Chapter 1056 Raised A Flag

"Master!"

Shi said and kneeled down in front of Lith.

"Master."

Hyunsuk's monotonous voice contained no enthusiasm whatsoever, but he seemed to be happy from meeting Lith again. He kneeled down beside Shi, paying his respects.

"Get up, you two. Have a seat."

Lith pointed at the chairs opposite to him on the round table and asked them to sit.

This was the same table his mother and aunt were sitting at a while ago.

Lilith had left with Qingyue upon Lith's request and had gone back to doing work.

Sylvia was still here and sitting beside Lith with a sleeping black lab placed on her lap under the table.

Fei stood behind Lith, awaiting orders, and watched the two disciples of her Master sit together with him at the same table.

She could see that Hyunsuk and Shi had special const.i.tutions. One gave off an eerie feeling, like one would get at cemeteries, and the other was radiating like a blooming flower.

However, their faces were totally opposite to the aura they were letting out.

Shi was cheerful while Hyunsuk seemed gloomy with his expressionless face.

Lith tapped on the table and teacups filled with tea appeared in front of everyone.

Taking the cup and saucer in his hand, Lith asked, "So lil Shi, how have you been? You as well Hyunsuk, what have you been up to?"

Shi's eyebrows twitched and with a wry smile, he said, "Master, can you please stop calling me that? Why don't you address me as little Zhao or disciple Shi or disciple Zhao?"

Fei and Sylvia did not understand the inside joke here and were calmly listening to him speak while sipping on tea.

Lith ignored Shi's plight and said, "You did not answer my question, Shi. You too, Hyunsuk."

Clink.

Hyunsuk put the teacup on the saucer and placed it down on the table.

"I've been training with Master's butlers in the arena. Haven't gone out of the castle as everyone said it was dangerous."

Lith nodded in understanding.

"Sigh… same. I have been getting beaten black and blue in the arena. It's not fun. I want to go out too." Shi complained.

There were two really beautiful ladies around the table with them. One seemed a dignified, mature lady while the other was a cute and s.e.xy young lady.

Hyunsuk and Shi's gaze did not linger on them. Even when it did, they did not see them without l.u.s.tful eyes.

In the two boys' eyes, these two ladies appeared like normal people even though they were the most beautiful and attractive women they've ever seen.

The reason for such a change in behavior was related to the training they underwent.

The butlers had influenced the two to resist their urges and go beyond the norms. They were definitely aware of how beautiful these ladies were, but they were also smart enough to understand that they had relations with their Master, and weren't someone the two could get together with.

No feelings of love were sprouting in their hearts and there was no 'normal' response a teen like them with raging hormones would have.

The butlers were well trained and never eyed any maid of the castle. They weren't eunuchs and had their love life outside the castle.

When they went on vacation, they would see their partners and be with them. They were also allowed to bring them to the castle, but they didn't do it, as it would cause some potential problems to everyone involved.

Lith noticed his two disciples' behavior and was happy that they weren't a normal bunch of h.o.r.n.y teens. He took a sip of tea and said, "The world is indeed dangerous. You could die and wouldn't even know how you died."

Lith placed the teacup down and continued, "However, the major reason why you were holed up in the castle wasn't for this. You are new to this world and you need to first understand its geography, language, history, politics, and so on before going out and roaming."

"I am sure you were taught all of that by the butlers, right?"

"Yes." Hyunsuk nodded. "We were also given lessons on plants and beasts commonly found here. What we can and cannot eat, and so on."

"It was such a pain to learn all of that…" Shi shook his head and said with a tired tone.

Lith nodded. "Since you two are aware of the general things of this world, I think you can venture outside and train."

"Really!?" Shi slammed the table with both his hands and asked with stars in his eyes.

"Decorum." Fei said calmly while staring at Shi's eyes.

Shi trembled in fear as he saw a pair of fierce golden eyes. He sat back down on his chair and lowered his head.

"Yes, really." Lith answered Shi. "Since I am your Master, it is my duty to ensure your growth. I am not only your Master, but also your guardian. You two will go out, but not for leisure. I'll give you a quest which you need to complete. Finish it and you'll get rewarded. Fail it and you'll be punished."

Shi wrinkled his nose. "Master, can't we train on our own when exploring the outside?"

Lith shook his head. "You'll simply slack off if left alone. It's better to do quests that I am issuing you this way. Once you start doing it, you'll achieve the martial peak of this world in no time."

"'Martial peak?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Martial peak means being at the peak of martial prowess or cultivation or martial arts. This world's martial peak means you'll be one of the strongest in this place and could then do whatever you want here."

"Oh. That sounds amazing."

Lith smiled. "The world's more beautiful than you could think of. Even after reaching the peak, there would be a lot left to see. Anyway, all of those aside, I'll tell you what your quest is now."

"Fei, get Ren and Rena here."

Fei nodded and went to fetch the two pets of Lith.

She came back in a few seconds holding the golden retriever puppy and the teenage girl Rena. Both were sleeping and lost in the wonderland of dreams.

Fei stood behind Lith holding the two.

Lith looked at Hyunsuk and Shi, and said, "Your quest is simple. You need to go to the Human Continent and try to save them all from their current predicament. There's no time limit to this. The quest would be completed once you ensure there's no external threats they could potentially suffer from and stabilize their political situation."

"Hm… sounds easy." Shi said without thinking much.

"Ah, truly deserving of being a Jinx. You definitely raised a flag there and jinxed yourself along with Hyunsuk." Lith said and chuckled.

Hyunsuk turned to look at Shi and shook his head in disappointment. His face showed no disappointment, it was expressionless, but Shi could feel it.

His eyebrows twitched and he said to Lith, "Master, just wait and watch. It'll definitely be resolved quickly. You may not believe in my powers, and I don't too, but Hyunsuk's going to be there with me. This guy's got heaven defying luck. We'll surely be okay."

"Ah yes, another flag." Lith said and shook his head with a smile.

"Anyway, there's another condition. You two would have companions that you would need to be together with at all times."

Lith was referring to Ren and Rena. He planned to send them along with his disciples. All four of them were of similar strength, so it would be a good opportunity for them to grow together. It would also become a friendly compet.i.tion wherein they would try to outdo each other.

The benefits were immense.

Lith also wanted to see how much Ren and Rena would learn when placed into a completely different and unknown environment.

Lith told Hyunsuk and Shi a bit about Ren and Rena. He told them they were his pets and that they would need to look after them. He strictly warned the two to not have any funny thoughts about Rena as she was underage.

The two didn't have any thoughts on her, and after hearing the warning, had any potential future thought disappear too.

Lith talked to the two about their quest for almost an hour. The discussion was enough and they were ready to be sent away now.

He looked at Sylvia and said, "Can you drop them in Auckland? I believe it should be a good starting point."

Sylvia nodded. "They are to be sent away now?"

"Yes."

"Okay." Sylvia said and walked towards the two. She raised her hand up and through magic, pulled Ren and Rena towards her.

Ren was given to Shi and Rena was given to Hyunsuk by Sylvia.

Lith looked at them and waved his hand. "Have a good time, my disciples. And make sure to learn lots. May fortune be with you."

The two bowed and said, "We won't disappoint you, Master."

With that, they left, and Lith could now focus on other important stuff at hand.
