Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 929 Information From System

Chapter 929 Information From System

The system showed a clip of Lith being chased by a group of beasts in a forest.
They were of a much higher level than Lith and he was having a hard time.
During this period, he ran across many useful herbs and the system sent out notifications regarding it.
Annoyed by it, Lith asked it to shut up and stay muted until he said so.
From that day onwards, the system kept quiet.
Lith was really busy in his training and had no particular need of the system, hence it was not summoned or thought of.
'What's done is done. Anyway, system, where am I?'
[The Host is in the 'Two Path Blind Mountain' world.]
'Weird name, but alright. Give me some information on this.'
[Two Path Blind Mountain World is a place known for…]
The system gave out quite some information, but it could be summarized in a few lines.
The legend of this world was widely known and many experts have tried to descend down and fetch the mythical ingredients to make the legendary stew.
However, there was a barrier that prevented experts of a certain age and cultivation rank from descending in it, thereby sealing it securely.
Using force was a futile effort as the world could destroy itself, thereby causing a lot of losses everywhere.
Many otherworldly experts hence periodically send out their disciples to this place, but till date, none succeeded in cooking the legendary stew.
It was a dream of both old and young cultivators to make this, but was too risky of a challenge with the reward being unknown—making many to give up venturing to this place.
All information the system provided revolved around the legend and surprisingly enough, a lot of importance was placed on this world.
'Are there deities watching currently?'
[Yes.]
'How many?'
[An estimate cannot be accurately made, but as of now, the number is way less than average.]
What a strange thing to hear from a system, thought Lith.
Usually, the system was like a computer and gave precise information of whatever it knew. But it was today that it gave a vague answer rather than an accurate one, making Lith wonder why.
[Answering Host, the reason is…]
The system's range was limited.
It was not an omniscient machine that knew everything and worked by collecting data.
By watching the stars in the sky, the relics scattered around this world, the system could make a rough estimate of how many were actually watching, but could not accurately point it out.
Lith nodded and let go of this matter.
What he wanted to know was known, now he had to prepare to find the four mythical ingredients mentioned.
'Do you know the answer to any of the riddles of the legend?'
[The riddle is laid out in such a way that each person's comprehension of it is different. If the Host were to know of others' interpretation of it then…]
Lith may not come to a proper, original comprehension of the riddle himself if he read others' solutions.
That was the reason why it was best to keep things to himself and not discuss it.
[There are however a few roadmaps available after countless attempts from gourmet cultivators. If the Host wishes to see it, it can be laid out.]
Lith raised an eyebrow. 'Interesting. Show it to me.'
The world map was in front of Lith's eyes. It was inked on an old parchment and contained great details of the real world's topography.
A few areas on it were shaded and made known for the general public.
Lith took note of it and recalled the riddles, trying to match the places with the lines of it.
"Whispering herbs that dance beneath the silver moon's glaze…"
"…golden petals kissed by dawn's light…"
"…river serpent's laughter…"
"…In the caverns where whispers echo—wait!"
"Caverns!?" Lith exclaimed.
He totally forgot there being a mention of a cave in the riddles!
This really narrows down things to a great degree!
If the deity hadn't mentioned that they would find their friends while journeying, Lith wouldn't have come to this conclusion so easily!
A sense of urgency swelled in Lith's heart and he immediately went to team up with Dennis.
…..
Jenna's place.
"Dennis!" Lith called out.
"Your Highness!" Dennis left whatever he was doing and went to see Lith.
"Come with me, there's a few places we need to visit."
"Wait! What about me?" Jenna asked hurriedly.
"It's dangerous out there, stay here and await further orders." Lith said a single line and left with Dennis, not caring for Jenna's response.
With the map being available through the system and it accurately pointing Lith's location on it, Jenna was not needed anymore.
It may seem that she was being shunned to the side, but that was for her own good.
She was human and these two vampires were about to venture inside the devil's territory.
Jenna would simply become a liability and slow the two down. It was better to leave her here in a protected place.
Of course, Jenna didn't know all this and simply thought of how useless she was. She sulked in a corner and seemed sad.
Yuma came to comfort her daughter and in the meantime stared at the distant figures of Lith and Dennis.
Lith and Dennis were far gone simply by running.
Once they were out of the people's eyes, they extended their wings and flew to a certain place on the map as fast as possible.
They were flying away from the mainland and the people of the church weren't there to spy over them.
The devils would also only be seen after the sea was crossed, thus flying was a good option for all parties concerned.
Lith and Dennis reached the devils' territory in the far north and saw the whole atmosphere change.
The air was light, the surroundings were dark, and it was freezing cold here.
There was no sun or moon above the two's heads and thus just went on to explain to the two that they were indeed in one of the devils' territories.
One mishap here could cost them dearly.
The two stopped flying and with careful steps, ventured deep into the blizzarding territories to find cave regions.
Lith gave quite a few glances at the map in his mind. They were both walking on the correct path to the nearest cave regions, but the blizzard was getting stronger and starting to hurt Lith and Dennis's physique upon coming in contact with it.
This was a worrying situation and Dennis said, "Your Highness, we should go under the ground for a second, warm up, then think about what to do next."
