Vampire's Slice Of Life Chapter 704  Dennis Is Unemployed

Chapter 704  Dennis Is Unemployed

Once the three were healed, Lith looked at the three and asked, "Ralph, Dennis, before we talk, answer my question first."

The two looked at him with a confused expression.

Lith pointed out, "I do not know if this is an illusion, dream, or reality."

"Oh, okay." The two nodded.

"Woo?" Ren had no idea whatsoever.

Lith patted Ren's head and didn't brought him in his embrace.

Looking at Ralph and Dennis, Lith asked, "let's say we are in a snowy mountain, we see a bigfoot print, but the birds had just s.h.i.+t on Dennis's shoulder and Ralph accidentally fell in water. Who's to blame for the stupidity of the penguins?"

The two looked at each other, then back at Lith and stared at him with a dumbfounded gaze.

Dennis, shaking his head and putting on an expression as if he knew everything, said, "it's obviously the monsters under the bed that provide us the best company."

Ralph nodded. He made his hands turn into a one sign and added, "it's not that we are afraid of being alone in the dark. It's that we are afraid of not being alone in the dark."

Lith and Dennis both looked at Ralph as they heard that, surprise clearly evident on their faces.

"Where did you find that?" Dennis couldn't help but ask.

"You were the one who shared me that video, saying it was funny. How can you forget?" Ralph shook his head and said.

"Eh? I did?"

Ralph knitted his brows. "If only you didn't send me fifty videos a day saying they're funny and cute, you'd know. Also, get a job, you unemployed p.r.i.c.k."

"Hey!"

Lith chuckled hearing that. He understood the context fully well.

Dennis wouldn't just send Ralph, but the same fifty videos to him as well on social media.

He was that unemployed friend one had who did nothing but munch on snacks and surf the internet.

In any case, Lith realized it was reality and not a dream or illusion. He was just so glad that he didn't take this challenge lightly, otherwise what would've happened to his friends and pup, he didn't know.

When Lith asked the two that question, it wasn't a question but pointless blabber. The correct answer to pointless blabber was more pointless blabber.

Dennis would do that, however, Ralph was supposed to say something that was deep, yet funny.

Ralph was the worst person ever to be asked to say something funny, that was why he was given that and not Dennis.

"Anyway, that aside, how did you guys end up here?" Lith asked.

Dennis sighed and shook his head. "Don't ask, Your Highness. So much happened…"

These two were brought into an inheritance place. Went through it and earned good stuff.

Then they were taken into quests and cleared them one by one.

Eventually, the two stumbled across a difficult one and messed up, thereby getting caught by a final boss level centipede.

It was way higher than their own strength and almost felt like cheating. Also, with how things were, they were sure that it was no coincidence that they saw Lith here after getting caught.

Lith agreed with them. It really wasn't.

The three were the top geniuses of the world, smart enough to actually figure things out easily.

Lith told them what had transpired and the two were shocked to know about them.

Eventually, something clicked Ralph and he asked, pointing at Lith's earring, "is that thing off? Or can others always hear you?"

Lith shook his head. "It's always off. If someone wants to say something, this thing will vibrate and let me know that there's a message."

Ralph shook his head. "I don't know. You must take precautions. You might've gotten that so that someone could monitor you constantly. Think about it." ????????.???

It made sense, but Lith didn't find anything odd about it, at least till now.

He knitted his brows because what Ralph said might be true. And if it was, he was in real trouble.

"Okay, I'll have it tested out."

Ralph nodded. "You should."

"Hey, you guys. Shouldn't our first priority be to get out of here?" Dennis chimed in.

"Ah, right." Lith nodded.

He looked around and found that the trial or whatever this was wasn't over.

The four were still here, near the volcano.

'Why hasn't it ended?' Lith wondered.

"Let's get going. This trial hasn't ended." Lith got up and told the two.

The two nodded and got up.

Putting Ren on his shoulder like usual and went to find clues to ending this trial.

As the four ventured deeper into the scene, they were taken back into the quest Ralph and Dennis were in; this time with Lith.

It was apparently incomplete and needed to be completed for the trial to be over.

Since Lith was here now, the trial was completed easily and Lith realized why the trial took so long.

Apparently, one was supposed to be sacrificed in the past trial since it was a trial about sacrifices.

However, both survived, and thus were put back into the place they had been taken away from.

As the trial came to an end, Lith, Ralph, Dennis, and Ren got many rewards.

Lith got a lot of extra things and they were so good, even the system made a chime and said:

[Ding!]

[Host has obtained the Spirit of Neutrality.]

This made Lith confused and he asked what it was. This was something out of his knowledge.

*****

Spirit of Neutrality:

— Gain 40% trust of two sides in an instant.

— While de-escalating any conflict, increases your overall potential by 15%.

.

.

.

.

.

— Lets people have a 10% good impression of you for one hour.

*****

Basically, the Spirit of Neutrality was an olive twig and gave boosts for solving conflicts in a neutral manner; in a way where no parties would get hurt.

It was an impressive artifact and Lith admired it.

He didn't plan on using it on others, but, he could do it on his wives in case they ever fought amongst themselves like feral animals in heat.

Once all the rewards were given out, before the three could even say anything to each other, they were separated by s.p.a.ce magic once again.
