Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 240

"I wanna join you in this, Your Highness." Dennis said with enthusiasm.

"Me too." Ralph nodded his head and said.

"Okay. Let's do it together then." Lith answered.

The three walked towards Emilia. Lith asked her, "teacher, can you give us those teleportation tokens again?"

Emilia nodded her head and gave the three the teleportation tokens. These were the tokens they had used in the Blue Haze World before and knew the mechanism behind how it worked.

Lith then walked towards Muron who was still present in the church. Reaching close to him, he asked, "I need information from you. Tell me whatever you can."

Muron nodded and said, "I will say whatever I know and answer you to the best of my ability."

"Where do you usually hunt monsters? Tell me the location and also some good spots where higher rank monsters are present."

"In the forest area present in the outskirts of Espat. There's a few villages in the borders and they sell maps to adventurers for a price. These maps have the locations of various types of monsters present. You can have a look at it and see where you want to go. If I had the map, I would've given it to you. But maps are usually expensive and I can't afford them. I am sorry." The guy said with a hint of sadness.

Lith was trying to help him and he couldn't even provide him with a simple map. But what could he do? Maps really were expensive.

Hearing that, he recalled being in the same position as him once, and could relate with him. He was a broke student almost all his life. His parents never gave him an allowance because they didn't have extra money on them and when he turned 16 and started a part-time job, he could barely afford to have some savings for himself.

Lith patted the guy's shoulder and said, "don't fret about it. It's fine. I totally understand you. Onto the next question. Where's your guild and what's its name?"

"It's called Jingmei Guild and it's present here in Lenz City itself. The top adventurer in the guild is a Rank 9, I think. I wasn't able to see him and neither were my party members. It's just rumours and legends about him that we've heard. Please, if you ever cross paths with this man, avoid him at all costs and don't provoke him. The things we've heard about him aren't good." Muron warned Lith and gave a friendly suggestion.

Lith nodded his head and asked, "tell me more about him."

"As far as I've heard, some say that guy eats whatever monsters he hunts raw after harvesting the important things from it. He has also fed some women who have tried to butter up and get close to him to these same monsters." Muron shivered after saying so.

"Argh… Just remembering this makes me tremble. There are so many bad things about him, a lot of time will be wasted if I keep telling them to you. Please, just avoid him. That's the only thing I'll say to you."

Lith nodded. "How does he look and what features does he have?"

"He's a three meters tall werewolf. His body makes him look like he got stuck in the transformation from his human form to werewolf form. He's got yellow eyes, black hair, and a muscular build. I haven't seen him, and this is what the others have described about him. I may be wrong, but it never hurts to be cautious." Muron warned again.

"I get it. You don't have to keep repeating it. What about the other members of the guild? What rank is the average person there?"

"The average is a Rank 5. Most of them are of that rank or below it. It has, I think, 3,000 members and half of them are Rank 4 or below. There's less than a 20 or so Rank 8s and less than 100 Rank 7s. The rest are either Rank 6 or Rank 5." Muron said what he knew.

Lith went silent for a bit and thought about things. 'Hmm, it's going to be super difficult if that's the power of the guild. Fists won't work, I think I would need to act in a smarter way.'

Lith asked after a few seconds, "okay, so, what's the rank of the Guildmaster and the Vice Guildmaster?"

Muron shook his head. "No idea. Never saw or met them. I've seen photos and their achievements in the lobby of the guild but never seen them with my eyes. Their ranks are only known to guild members who are associated with the guild for a 100 years and are Rank 7 and above."

Ralph nudged his elbow onto Lith and said in a low voice, "why are you asking about the guild so suddenly? Wasn't the main goal to help this guy get money for his brother's treatment?"

"Don't worry, I haven't gone off topic. It's important to know. Don't you remember, the guild cheated this guy too?" Lith said with a smile.

Ralph nodded his head. "They did. But don't forget, his main goal is to get money for his brother's treatment. That matters more."

Lith got up and stretched. "That's true. Alright then, time to get to work. Muron, go home, we'll call you or visit you if we need something."

Muron nodded his head and left after thanking Lith and the others present with him.

Lith walked towards Emilia and stood in front of her.

Emilia, all this while, was watching Lith with a small smile on her face. Though she was a gentle and kind lady, it didn't mean that she didn't know about the various schemes and deceptions people were capable of. She roughly could guess what Lith was trying to formulate and do. Thousands of years of experience wasn't for show.

Before Lith could ask anything to Emilia, she got up and ruffled his hair, treating him like a child. "Yes. Our stay can be extended if needed. Take your time. No need to follow the time limit."

Lith raised his brows in surprise. How did she know what he was gonna ask? Can she read minds?

Lith nodded his head and said, "thank you, teacher. Where can we find you, if needed?"

"In our suite." Emilia said with a smile.

Lith nodded and imbued spiritual power into the teleportation token and vanished. Ralph and Dennis followed him to the location he had said before.

Just as they vanished, space fluctuated again near Emilia and Avelyn teleported out. She looked around and found Ralph wasn't here.

_{The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪɢʜᴛɴᴏᴠᴇʟᴡᴏʀʟᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ website.}

"Hmm? Emmy-chan, where did he go?" Avelyn asked Emilia in confusion.

Emilia didn't answer her question directly and first asked, "has Ralph been on any adventures before?"

Avelyn tilted her head a bit in confusion and asked, "why are you asking me that so suddenly, Emmy-chan? In any case, to answer you, no, he hasn't been anywhere outside our castle and the nearby areas."

Emilia nodded her head and said to Avelyn with a smile, "then to answer your question, Ralph has gone on his very first adventure."

"What!?"

"Mhm. That's what is happening currently. You don't want to miss watching it, would you, Avelyn?" Emilia asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes! Of course! Take me to where they are, let me take lots of pictures and videos. My Ralph-chan is gonna have his first adventure. Hehe~ So nice~" Avelyn said enthusiastically.

Emilia nodded her head and gave her the coordinates to where they were. Avelyn held Emilia's shoulder and the two vanished from the church.

All this while… The priest in the church was silent and speechless. Looking at the figures of Emilia and Avelyn, he could make out that they were some powerful big shots. How powerful, he did not know.

But, since Avelyn could easily teleport in and out of the church, she must definitely be someone above Saint Rank. As for Emilia, she handed out an artifact to the three and they teleported away too, this made him understand that the token she gave was definitely Saint Grade or above. This wasn't something anyone could afford to have.

The church had barriers and it ensured that nobody below Saint Rank was able to teleport in or out of the church. It was put there for safety purposes. The churches which had Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals and the Pope had even more powerful barriers.

The priest had his nerves tensed up this whole time but somehow managed to keep calm and was able to mind his own business. He knew that if he disturbed those people, it wouldn't end well for him. His years of meeting various different types of people had helped him today.
