Chapter 564: Plans And Considerations

"Yes, Adventurer Guilds and Adventurers are a thing from nations, such as Kingdoms. There are certain people that grow stronger through hunting and doing other tasks, which are often called Adventurers, they do these jobs in exchange for sums of money, and they can pick the jobs in the Adventurers Guilds, which are actually sponsored by the Alliance. It is a way to influence even those that don't belong to sects." Said Mikohime.

"I see! I didn't knew this actually existed... I just came out with the term... out of the blue." I said while averting my gaze.

It seems that the Alliance had a great load of good things to take advantage of, if I wanted to find more opportunities in this world, I didn't see anything wrong with trying to join them, this could bring great possibilities to me, and if I could find tasks regarding the capture of evil sects or helping other sects, then my influence can continue to grow as I take over sects that are in need, something that probably other normal sects can't do over the lack of resources.

Of course, doing this task over and over seems unrealistic, I don't think it would be so easy to find sects in danger in the very same situation as Winter Lotus and Jade Snake, but other sorts of big bounties could work... However, I must first see the rewards they could offer, if they give things that could help me grow stronger or that I've never seen before, it could do, but its just Mana Stones... erm, well, it wouldn't be that good then.

"Anyways, that's kind of it. You could ask for further details, but the rules and all are very loose." Said Mikohime.

"The Alliance might seem like something intimidating at the beginning, but they have almost zero power over the sects they pick in the alliance it is mostly a way to register to gain certain privileges in the system, but as you could see in our situation, they took a very long time to even come help us, if it wasn't because of you, we would be gone already, and they probably only decided to come now that they saw "we" resolved things up... after all they won't just waste time and effort in small sects like ours... but this also means there is a lot of liberty, and there shouldn't be people ogling at you or us all the time." Said Thaletus.

"I see... I guess that's a bit more reassuring." I said.

Of course they say this but even "almost zero power" concerns me, but we'll try and see how things are done, and then I will decide completely.

I suppose the moment I will make the decision will be when they finally come here.

For now, we ended talking about a few things after finally going back to Fuyu, I brought Lord Ice Moon back to his Sect territory as well, and I decided to spend some time with Benladann and speak with her about the things we spoke with the sect masters.

She was mostly silent through the conversation, she doesn't like to interrupt conversations when she doesn't really have much of an idea of what is being spoken about, but I know she had some opinions regarding it, and I wanted to hear them.

"So what do you think about this entire situation?" I wondered.

Benladann and I were currently sitting in a bench right below a large tree in the gardens of Fuyu, atop the skies there was the beautiful and strong sun, bathing the world with its warm light.

"I think this could be good, if we can find ways to make more allies, wouldn't it be for the better? Especially if our enemy is someone like Greenwood... he might probably be the enemy of many people, not only of us... And about the other colors... it could be the same as well!" said Benladann.

"Hm... Certainly, but I like to rely more on my own strength, don't you?" I wondered.

"Of course, but still... In this world filled with so many people and dangers, I still find it beneficial if we can make more allies and connections, we don't necessarily need to hole ourselves too much in our own world, right?" asked Benladann.

"Oh, yeah... I guess we have been doing it lately with these three sects. I never thought before that I would ever have three whole sects as my allies and well, as part of my very Empire... It still feels crazy when I think about it." I said.

"Hm, it must be... recalling the past really gets me nostalgic a bit, I know it wasn't that long, but still, things have changed so much it is surprising..." she said.

"Yeah, since the moment I found you that my life kind of gave a turn to for the best... I never thought I would find someone I would love so much in this new life... I always thought I would simply continue living as a wild monster, surviving, and hunting... an endless loop with nothing exciting other than the fear of dying the next day..." I sighed.

"Meeting you also changed my life... I am excited about what's await us in the future, dear... I wonder what kind of things we'll go through." She said.

"I am sure that they'll all be exciting, there might be things we'll never expect too... for that reason we have to prepare well... I would like to stop moving for the moment and settle down around here, so we can wait for the baby to be born before jumping into any other action." I said.

"Hm, sounds good to me, I was actually going to ask you the same thing, so we can agree on that." Said Benladann.

"Haha, I am happy that you could agree then..." I said.

Benladann held my hand as she looked at me adorably, she was such a beautiful treasure...

"I love you..." she said.

"I love you too..." I said.

We kissed for a bit, and then we ended taking a nap together.
