Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1279: Flower Picking Session

Chapter 1279: Flower Picking Session

"Huh? What? System, did you mess up the coordinates?" Jin asked as he found out that he was not teleported into the Dungeon Maker Instance but instead a remote location up in the mountains. As for which mountain he was on, there was nothing around, not even a noticeable landmark for him to get his bearings.

"Hmm. Did I guess it wrongly?" Kraft said as he tried to take note of his surroundings but it seems he was equally confused.

"You teleported us here in the middle of nowhere?" Jin questioned as if demanding an explanation as soon as possible since this was derailing his plans to work on the Pandaverse Festival even further.

"Our opponent had been upsized right? Just thought that we would try to find some clues with regards to him before we returned. But it looked like we might be in the wrong place." Kraft did not care about Jin and walked up the slope, towards the peak of the mountain which seemed almost impossible to reach within a day's time. (Assuming they are not using any chi to reach the peak and probably expose themselves to anybody around.)

"In the meantime, I suggest you pick up some of those wild flowers over there, which might be a suitable gift for Lynn when you return. After all, she did save your ass with her brilliant cooking once again." Kraft said that he would walk up a little more to survey the area before affirming that the place was a dead end for them.

Jin looked at the wild flowers and asked the System if it had any data on those plants. The System quickly identified them as camellia flowers and in terms of flower language, those bright red pink flowers symbolise love as well.

"Then it can't hurt to bring a few back. Did Kraft know the meaning of these flowers when he pointed at them?" Jin asked the System but it could not answer on behalf of Kraft.

"Back. There really isn't anything in the region. Looks like I came to the wrong place." Kraft said as Jin could feel the cold emanating from his long ass jacket.

"You ran all the way up the mountains?" Jin asked as he barely picked any flowers.

"Hmm yea, thought I could have a better view of the entire area without you holding me down so- Anyways, while you are flower picking, we can have a quick talk about your future," Kraft said as he instantly climbed up one of the lower lying branches while Jin slowly tried to pick the prettiest of Camellia flowers among the patch.

"Now that we know that the Defence Minister is one of the Banned Emperor lackeys, what are you going to do? Take the fight against the government? Band up all the Royal Zodiacs and fight against them? Or you know, call the Defence Minister and say hey. I know who you are. How about you just erm, leave me alone and I leave you out of my life? Win Win situation,"

"Do you even think the last one is an option?"

"Like we had discussed before... technically, you can run away to other multiverses or even settle down in a new world. I do not see any wrong with that. Like come on, you have an entire city all by yourself in the Dungeon World. The entire world is like a shop to you. Heck, you might even be able to join as the player and join raids with all your monsters without worry. Eventually, you might be the biggest City Lord in the Dungeon World and you do not have to keep your powers as a secret."

"Are you forgetting the Church of the Afterlife?" Jin said as he found a flower with no damaged petals. He skillfully used his hand to pinch the stalk so that the flower would be in perfect condition.

"Bah, those rascals are easier to handle. At least they have not learned the art of terrorism and even if they did, the System and the Dungeon Core would sound out the ambush. It's less wary than what we have over here." Kraft said as he lay right beside the tree trunk and shooed away a few insects with his chi.

"And even if you do not want the Dungeon World, the Goblin World would be a good place to stay. The Orcs and Goblins are under your command. Though it will be a matter of time until the humans feel inferior and start to attack, they probably won't stand a chance against the technology you introduced to both kingdoms. Also, let's not forget that there are other races that we have not 'meet and greet'. The Fooking Fake Elves as my servants called them even though by lore, they are considered as 'True' Elves, have been hiding somewhere in that world and know the history behind the destruction of the dwarves. But we will get there another day if you stay there longer." Kraft rumbles on and it was clear that escaping this world's reality was as easy as snapping a finger.

"You are saying all this because we all know the consequences of killing a government official."

"Not just some government official, it's the goddamn defence minister which in this day and age, he is kinda the most important guy aside from the prime minister." Kraft scoffed at Jin's way of thinking. "I am all for challenging the country, but we won't be on the winning side if we do not prep well. What we will be doing would definitely be an act of terrorism if we are not careful."

"Hmm, yeah. But from the way you phrase it, you too want to have a plan of attack rather than just reacting against the terrorist's plans, right? Have you found out if there are any other government officials that are in cahoots with him?"

"Not yet, didn't bother. Maybe when I am back in the room or if I am too lazy, I get my dark elves to find it."

"That information is all in your head, how the heck are you going to do that?" Jin asked as he stopped for a moment to question him.

"Bah, I can share information easily, you do not have to worry about me. Worry about yourself more. From the looks of it. PandaVerse Festival would not be a peaceful one for you and neither will Zeru. Although he can take care of himself, this time he is protecting an entire lost city if he ever finds it rather than just one person."

"I honestly have no idea about the Lost Flower City, care to enlighten me?" Jin said as he was already holding a bunch of flowers with him.

"It's best if the person himself tells you more about it. It's more complicated than you think and its history is so fucked up that I cannot keep track of it. In fact, even Zeru might not have everything. I do not think the System has much information about it either. Even though it's considered a Lost City. There are still people living a secluded life away from all that hustle and bustle." Kraft shrugged his shoulders but those red flowers suddenly reminded Jin that there was someone who might have the answers to everything he requires …assuming he passed the trial.

"Urgh, Do I really have to deal with Suzaku again..." Jin thought to himself.
