Chapter 1553 Catching Up -Part 15
"Where do you want to begin? Or do you wish to see more of those stupid robots get killed?" Kraft asked through the Dark Elf he was using to talk.
"I am actually somewhat more interested in your ability to talk through your Dark Elf..." Jin said which made Kraft stay silent for a moment or two before realising what Jin actually meant.
"Oh... You are afraid that if things did not go your way and you are stuck in this virtual hellhole for an eternity due to your incompetence, there is still some form of communication to relate information through a medium?" Kraft guessed and Jin nodded his head vigorously as if to thank his master to know of his intentions this easily.
"Sorry, nope can do." Kraft chuckled while folding his arms. "Also, are we really going to stand and talk for the entire time? I can do that, but it's awfully uncomfortable." The Devil said as he used his Night Fox to conjure a huge enough stone bench to accommodate the two of them so that they could talk while watching the occasional strobes of lights being engulfed into darkness aka the death of Mechanoids.
"Seriously, just get stronger as soon as possible and engulf the entire virtual system with your own dungeon instance. This way, you can just let all the minions do your job and you can come back at the fastest possible time." Kraft complained as he comfortably lifted his Dark Elf's cape and sit with his legs crossed on the giant rock (smooth!) bench.
"Why can't you teach me how to do it?" If Lynn could come in, what's wrong with just transmitting messages through a medium like yourself? I can work equally hard as her to get what I want as well!"
"Wait, let me stop you there. If there is one thing you cannot compare, that would be Lynn's dedication to look for you. You can sully or imitate her path but you cannot deny her sheer will to see you." Kraft turned serious when Jin spoke of Lynn's name and that also stopped Jin's conversation on its tracks. Kraft in return explained a little more.
"You could say that she experienced an extreme version of time compression than you. It was a level not permissible even by the System and could create a time lag when she returned to reality... actual time flow. And she worked so hard that she turned the task of seeing you as something impossible into something that is close to impossible. I won't deny that I am actually worried she will die. In fact, I keep telling her that she WILL die." Kraft then changed his tone a little.
"Maybe she did die in a way but we would never know how this transfer of souls from a body into a virtual simulation without the proper Synthesis World way of transferring souls works until she got back to her original body."
"You mean there is a chance she could never return?"
"Yes. I do not sugarcoat the answer. Unless it is by some miraculous force like a higher being than gods who knew her fate all along and decided to continue to keep her alive, I honestly have no idea why she chose this one way ticket than to wait for your return. -Well I mean, I do know the reason and how she always wishes to return the debt, but it seems that -urgh how do I put this in a more tactful way."
"This is the first time I see you going around the bush with such difficulty."
"Gah, she loves you so deeply that it kinda moves me, okay?" 'Kraft' shook his head.
"That I know. But I did not know her love for me was this boundless." Jin felt somewhat guilty. He likes her and without a doubt, he knew that she was more than just the right choice. Still, he believed he could have done more for her. Only with a long silence, Jin nodded his head with conviction and told Kraft the following. "I will make up to her. I promise you that."
"In any case, I will repeat my objection. No. I do not recommend and never allow you. Grit through this ordeal by yourself and get out. I assumed you had heard from the rest that I had already been doing shit loads just to retrieve your body. You should be thankful for that and not expect any more assistance from me."
"Yes, I heard. I understand where you are coming from." Jin nodded his head and bowed a little in apology to Kraft, his friend, his mentor and his personal Devil.
"Now that is out of the way, what do you wish to know? That I can still give you without charging you a single cent. Considered the price paid when I can see that you are still safe and sound." Kraft said with the least amount of concern but his words were more than enough to touch Jin's heart, knowing that he still cares.
"Well, you dabbled with a variety of subjects. I had heard a fair bit on the progress of the Dungeon World as well as the Farming World. So, you could say that I am concerned about the details of the Goblin World, considering how you have a base of operations right under their noses."
"Oh, you mean that adventurer town that you made and subsequently gave me authority over it?"
"I believed what you meant is that you took it upon your own hands despite knowing that I am in control of it."
"Meh, I did think that you could use a hand considering you had not touched it for ages. The basement of that tavern was a little too underwhelming for me and my Night Foxes. So I thought, I could use the entire town as part of my training grounds for my dear Dark Elves. They do need to roam other than basements if you get what I mean."
"Not really... but sure. What had been happening over there and do you know about the System's intention or I should say future attempts to lure the dwarves out of their hiding holes?"
"Hmm yea, somewhat. I already got that itchy feeling they were going to do that." Kraft scratched his head as he replied, knowing what Jin wants and started to ramble.
