Chapter 32: Zoe's request and Lucius's answer (2)

"Anyway, First of all, tell me, do you know about dungeons?" Zoe asked Lucius, her voice carried seriousness.

Faced with obvious questions, Lucius just nodded his head in approval.

"Of course, I know what dungeons are," Lucius replied.

Dungeons are special dimensions that have existed since Primordial times. The quantity of mana inside Dungeons is very high.

There are countless monsters in the dungeon. These monsters are formed by mana. Every time a monster is killed by someone then that person gains Divine energy which is exp in the words of the system.

A new monster is formed by mana every time a monster dies hence the no. of monsters in a dungeon never decreases.

The dungeons are ranked from E to SSS grade dungeons. A dungeon is rated depending on the density and purity of mana.

Since, the denser and purer the mana is, the stronger the monster inside a Dungeon will be. For example, an A-grade Dungeon can form a monster that has strength comparable to an S-rank Divinity.

The human domain has the highest no. of dungeons in their territory. This is the sole reason why the strength of Divinity has not declined over the years.

If Lucius didn't even know this then it would only mean that he is living under a rock.

"I know about dungeons but what does it have to do with your request?" Lucius asked Zoe.

"I am going to enter an E-grade Dungeon with a team of 15 extraordinary E-grade Divinities.

I want you to be a part of our team. Do you accept" Zoe exclaimed, her voice carrying seriousness.

Simultaneously a notification also flashed on his retina.

(You have received the D grade quest, Zoe's request)

(Zoe's request Grade: D

Description:

Quest Clear condition: Help Zoe to kill at least 300 monsters and evacuate her safely.

Rewards:???

Penalty: Zoe will become disappointed in you and your abilities)

Lucius just glances at the rhd quest before ignoring it.

Caught off guard by such a request and quest, Lucius didn't know what to say. A few seconds later, Lucius finally opened his mouth.

"Give me a few minutes to think of your request," Lucius said as he fell into deep thought.

Zoe just just nodded her head. Then the entire place fell silent, there wasn't even a single sound in the entire room. It seemed like, even the breathing of Lucius and Zoe had stopped, it was so quiet.

A few minutes passed away in the blink of an eye as he thought whether to accept or reject.

"What will get in return?" Lucius finally speaks.

Zoe just smiled slightly since she understood that he was willing to help.

"You will get 70 percent of the items that are dropped by the monster that you will kill" Zoe replied.

When Lucius heard that, he fell into a deep thought.

"Even if I don't get anything in return, I will gain exp from killing monsters which alone makes it Worth. Moreover, Zoe told me that she would allow me to have 70 percent of the resources dropped by the monster.

So it's a total win-win situation for me even if my life will be in danger" Lucius thought to himself.

Lucius had decided what to do, he turned his attention to Zoe who was sitting patiently as Lucius thought of the request.

"Zoe, I have decided that I will help you to raid the dungeon." Lucius exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness.

(You have accepted the quest 1) Zoe's request)

Hearing this Zoe smiled slightly, she looked very satisfied with Lucius' answer.

"Great, it will be a pleasure to have you on our, team," Zoe said to Lucius as she stood up.

She extended her hand towards him, signaling Lucius to shake hands. Lucius shook her hands.

After shaking hands, Lucius retrieved his hand and asked.

"When are we heading out?"Lucius asked Zoe, his voice carrying seriousness.

"We are going to the Dungeon in exactly two weeks. It's so long because I have to gather more reliable team members" Zoe replied without any delay.

Lucius nodded his head slightly when he heard that.

"I will prepare to raid the dungeon during these two weeks," Lucius thought to himself.

"Also Lucius, try to look for talented people and convince them to join us in the dungeon raid." Zoe requested.

"I don't have any friends so I probably won't be able to find any talented people but I will try," Lucius said truthfully.

Hearing this Zoe nodded her head slightly in approval as he let out a sigh.

"I guess then I will have to keep looking. Regardless, I will take my now " Zoe" to Lucius.

When Lucius heard that, he smiled bitterly as he stared at Zoe.

"Regarding that, you will have to have dinner with us since I have told my mom that you will have dinner," Lucius said to Zoe.

A frown appeared on her face when she heard Lucius' words. However, she didn't immediately reply, she took out a round watch from her pouch.

She opened it up and looked at the time, as she looked at the watch, it looked like she had fallen into a deep thought.

"Alright, I will have dinner with your family since I have some time on my hands" Zoe replied a few seconds later as she put her watch away.

Lucius just smiled slightly when he heard that.

"Let's go outside then but first remove this barrier," Lucius said to Zoe.

"Alright," Zoe replied to Lucius as she let out a sigh.

Lucius nodded his head as watched Zoe touching the chip and channeling mana into it. A few seconds later, the barrier around them started to slowly dissipate into countless small fragments.

Zoe quickly retrieved the chip and put it inside her pouch. She began to walk towards the door without wasting any time. Lucius also followed closely behind her.

Lucius hurriedly took the lead and opened the door. Both of them exited the room together.

The moment they exited the door, an aroma reached their nose.

"It's the smell of Mom's cooking," Lucius said to Zoe as Lucius began to walk toward the dining table.

Zoe just nodded her head as she followed Lucius. A few seconds of walking later, the dining table was in their sight, there were numerous dishes placed on the table.

Lucius became a little bit shocked when she saw the no. of dishes while Zoe who was beside was nonchalant.

"Mom has never cooked so many dishes at the same time. AHAH, It must have cost a lot of money to arrange all this, I wonder if they still have enough money to run the household this month after buying all this.

I wonder why mom wastes money for a rude person like her. " Lucius thought to himself, a sad look was seen on his face as he looked at the numerous dishes.

Just as he was thinking about all this, a calming voice resounded through his ears.

"Lucius, what are you even doing? Why aren't you telling Miss Zoe to sit down" Carla's voice resounded through his ears.

Lucius turned around, he spotted his Mom and Emma standing behind him.

"Mom, why did you make so many dishes?" Lucius asked.

Carla just ignored him and walked towards Zoe. She halted her steps when she was a few cm away from her.

"Miss Zoe please sit down and eat," Carla told Zoe to sit down, her voice carrying love and care

Zoe was very touched by the care and love in her voice.

"Ok aunty" Zoe replied.

She nodded her head and sat down. Emma also sat down in the seat beside Zoe.

"No one has talked to me with such a caring voice other than my Mom" Zoe muttered under her voice.

"I will sit beside my big sister," Emma exclaimed.

Zoe just smiled back in response.

"Lucius, you should also sit down for dinner," Carla said to Lucius.

Lucius just nodded his head in response and sat down as he began to eat. This lasted for the next few minutes.
