Chapter 926: There Was Indeed No Coincidence!

?Half a day later, at night.

Bakers' City Embercrest.

"Your Highness!" Dennis exclaimed as he watched Lith walk towards him.

There was also a young lady beside the Prince, but Dennis ignored her and went straight to Lith.

"What happened? How are you in the broadcast everywhere?" Lith went straight to the point and didn't delay things.

Dennis sighed. He scratched his head and said, "I have no idea how, but I was dreaming, then drowning when I teleported, and then I was saved by an old lady. That old lady was someone who belonged to the church and attacked me."

Lith nodded. "Then you killed her and are now in the news everywhere?"

"Yes. That's right." Dennis answered. "However, that's not important. What's important is... I told His Highness that I had a dream, right?"

"Yes?"

"Well... That was a very vivid dream. In that..." Dennis's expression turned solemn. "Miwa was killed and I also saw Ralph being chained."

"What!?"

"Yes!" Dennis cried out. "If I hadn't seen the latter part, I would've thought it's just a stupid dream, but it's not how it seems! There's something really really wrong with this place!"

Lith frowned hard hearing that. There was not the slightest doubt within his mind that this was just a dream that they could ignore.

Him, Dennis, and Ralph had encountered trouble the moment they stepped foot in this world.

Miwa might've encountered some trouble as well.

Now, with the dream showing the exact truth with Ralph's case...

Lith's hair stood on their ends.

He did not want to think about this, but...

Dennis, watching his Prince's expression, placed his hand on his shoulder and stared into his eyes.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to be pessimistic or depressed. What we can do is get together with the other two as soon as possible while completing the quest we are here for."

Comforting was not something Dennis was good at, but he tried his best to deviate the Prince's thoughts.

He himself was severely depressed in the past few days, but with the Prince here, there was some hope.

Lith eased his brows. "You're right. What we need to do is find those two as quickly as possible. Other than that, what we can also do is get out of this world sooner and take help from our clans."

Dennis nodded. "That's right, that's right. The goal is to either survive a hundred and one days or find those four mythical ingredients and make stew quickly to leave."

"Umm..." The third person on the rooftop of the town hall, the young lady Jenna, raised her hand at this point and interjected. "..May I ask what's going on?"

"Ah. I forgot about her. Who is she, Your Highness? Did you perhaps fancy a girl in this world as well?" Dennis asked with his loose mouth.

Lith smacked the top of his head with his fist and said, "Don't spout weird things. That girl is from our world and I accidentally had an encounter with her."

"Yo, what!?" Dennis was surprised. "You teleported to this place too?"

Jenna shook her head. "I did not."

"Then, how—"

"Leave her be, Dennis. Her case's not as important as Miwa and Ralph. Anyway, in your dreams, did you see what sort of place Miwa was in? Or just any location you can think of? What about Ralph? Did you see anything near Ralph?" Lith asked, worried.

Dennis placed his hand on his chin and tried to recall the dream.

He closed his eyes and, picturing the scene, said, "Cave... There was a cave and..."

Dennis narrated the place he had seen and what had transpired with Miwa.

Lith was not having a good time hearing the story and his aura was fluctuating chaotically, causing Jenna beside him to feel suffocated and distance herself.

Once Dennis was finished narrating, he looked at Lith and said, "Calm down, Your Highness. It may really just be a dream for all we know."

Lith retracted his aura and sighed. "I hope so. And what about Ralph? Do you remember anything?"

Dennis shook his head. "I only just saw him chained and in a bright church."

Lith stopped speaking and thought about the things Dennis had mentioned, the gears in his brain working at full speeds.

A while of silence later, Lith turned to look at Jenna and asked, "Do the devils stay in between the humans? Or do they have their own separate realms?"

Jenna took out a scroll from her pocket and laid it down on the town hall's ledge.

She pointed at the darkened places on the map and said, "These are the places where devils roam freely. As for the unshaded areas in the middle, that's the place where the church is at. Devils don't dare lurk here because the church is really powerful."

"I see." Lith said softly. "Since you had a dealing with one of the church's member, what do you think about their strength, Dennis?"

Dennis took out a silver cross pendant from his pocket and showing to Lith, said, "Honestly, the one I fought was quite weak. Though... Their attainment in Light is really high. If I hadn't known better, I would've been exorcised. And I'm not even a demon or a ghost!"

Lith and Dennis both were Vampires and naturally, they were at a slight disadvantage when dealing with Light spells.

Even though they had an affinity to it, to their Vampire bodies, Light was like their kryptonite.

Parts damaged by Light may not regenerate if the intensity of it exceeded a certain threshold. The two thus had to be really careful.

The two fell silent and pondered deeply over things. One mistake of theirs could not only cause them to lose their lives, but even put their comrades' at stake.

Turning to look at the dark horizon, Lith said, "Doesn't this world have deities, gods, and devils? If we have offended one party, haven't we made friends with their enemy?"

An enemy of an enemy was a friend. This was an age old saying and has never been wrong!

Lith turned to look at Jenna and asked, "The place you live in... Is there a deity nearby? Or like even a lurking devil or something?"

Jenna was surprised with how fast Lith came to a conclusion. She wondered how could he even decipher such things in such a short amount of time...

"There is indeed a shrine of a deity. We do not know its origins or anything, we just know that it provides protection if we offer some fruits and cooked vegetarian food to it every year." Jenna answered.

Lith was surprised and clapped his hands. "There was indeed no coincidence!"

"Coincidence?" Dennis asked.

Lith nodded. "It's like this..."
