Chapter 224: Zenos' decision

I was having a hard time deciding what to do about Jana's village, I really didn't understand, why I who just met her and know nothing about her village have to go through this. 

"(Because I have to do something, I'm not some idiot hero who will run into danger with every call for help that comes up.)" (I) 

"(I feel bad for Jana and her village, but I have no reason to put my family at risk to help her village.)" (I) 

While I was trying to figure out how to turn down this request a strange thing happened, the Fairy Infants that were flying all over the place started to gather and fly in circles around the table where we were, then I started to hear a voice in my head. 

"(I like the way you think Zenos, but I need you to accept this young Ghoul's request.)" (Goddess Aine) 

"What is it?"  (I) 

"What happened to these Fairies?"  (Ivan) 

"What's going on here? Why are you kneeling at the table Dora?"  (Jana) 

"Are you all right, master?"  (Diana) 

"So that's what's happening."  (Vanessa) 

"No need to worry, calm down, it looks like Father is just having a little chat."  (Vanessa) 

When I looked at my hands I noticed that the tattoos on my arms were glowing, I also felt my mind getting heavy. 

"(I don't have much time as you won't be able to bear receiving my voice for a long time, so I'll be direct.)" (Goddess Aine) 

"(You have to kill that Necromancer in the mountain range, a fairy king will be sent to you in three days to explain in more detail, so accept this ghoul's request.)" (Goddess Aine) 

"(No, I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I'm not going to throw myself in danger for this.)" (I) 

"(Don't be an idiot, this will help you too, this Necromancer has orders to go after you, kill him before he builds an army too strong for you to handle.)" (Goddess Aine) 

"Like this!?"  (I) 

Suddenly my head, which was getting heavier, feels light and I feel my whole body relax and the tattoos stop glowing and go back to normal, I realize that my whole body is full of sweat and I'm panting as I've just run a marathon. 

"Haah... haahh... haahhh..." (I) 

"It looks like it's over, you really surprise me, Dad, I didn't expect that, but I think I'd better talk about it later."  (Vanessa) 

"..." (I) 

When I looked around I noticed that the Fairy Infants had started to fly and spread all over the place again. 

"Damn..." (I) 

I look at Ivan, Vanessa, and Diana. 

"What are our chances if we fight this Necromancer?"  (I) 

"We have a great chance of winning, most of your techniques and spells will be useless against us."  (Ivan) 

"While I'm there, he won't be able to turn the corpses into the Undead."  (Vanessa) 

"The biggest problem is their numbers, but I think we can use the people in Jana's village to help."  (Diana) 

"Our village is strong, everyone would be happy to fight if it means defeating Farus."  (Jana) 

I hate this kind of situation, the Goddess Aine didn't say much, but she said that I should agree to help Jana and her village, she also said that this Necromancer has orders to come after me, I don't know how she knows that, but no I can ignore what she said. 

"Then I will accept your request for help Jana, I will help her village."  (I) 

As I say this Jana's golden eyes take on a joyful glow and she starts to cry, I look over at her Shadow Fairy and see a look full of respect in her eyes as she looks right at me while keeping kneeling on the table. 

"But you'll have to wait a few more days, I have a few things to sort out before you go, in the meantime, you can stay here if you like."  (I) 

"Thank you so much for accepting my village's selfish request, Mr. Zenos."  (Jana) 

After receiving Jana's thanks I ask Caryna to guide her to an empty room to settle in, so only the people in my group are here. 

"Now that it's just us here, could you explain to me what happened before Vanessa?"  (I) 

"What happened was similar to telepathy, a God came in direct contact with you."  (Vanessa) 

"This would only be possible if you had the Blessing of that God."  (Vanessa) 

"From the reaction of the Fairy Infants and the two other Fairies I'm guessing it was the Goddess of Fairies, am I right, Father?"  (Vanessa) 

"It's right."  (I)

I look over my shoulder and see Layla sitting and looking at me with a big smile filled with happiness, but in her eyes, I can see the coldness and cruelty that don't match her appearance. 

"Are you happy now? You'll manage to get your claws on a poor, innocent Necromancer."  (I) 

"Stop joking masters, I'm just glad we're going to help a village full of good people."  (Layla) 

"With those eyes, no one will believe this lie, now stop thinking about the Necromancer or you will scare our guests when we enter."  (I) 

Sigh 

This always happens, whenever I think I'm going to get away from a problem or I think I've solved a problem, I find there are more problems waiting, all I wanted was to get out of this city and maybe have a relaxing trip across the continent with my family. 

I turn to the other three members of my group who are still here, as well as Freya who is brown beside me in her maid uniform. 

"Why did you seem to want to fight this Necromancer?"  (I) 

"Was it only I was concerned about the possible risks?"  (I) 

"A Necromancer raising an army is always a big concern, I didn't feel right letting someone like that loose when we're well prepared to fight him."  (Vanessa) 

"My friend is the Duke of this city, I can't leave such a danger to him."  (Ivan) 

"I also can't let him associate with the Church of Light because of this Necromancer."  (Ivan) 

"My reason is the same as Ivan's, there are many people I know in this city, I can't leave them in danger if I can help."  (Diana) 

So many noble motives, but I can understand Ivan and Diana's motives, they lived a long time in this city and there are people they care about here, in their place I would do the same too, in fact, the biggest reason I didn't want to do this was to protect them. 

"Diana and Ivan, I want you to ask our guests about the terrain of the mountain range, the location of the Necromancer's stronghold, the races that are on his side, the approximate number of his army, the approximate type of equipment they have, the general strength of your troops and the main warriors working for this Necromancer."  (I) 

"That's a nice list of questions, I'm impressed master."  (Ivan) 

"But I don't think she'll be able to answer them all."  (Ivan) 

"It doesn't matter, any advance information will be useful for our preparation."  (I) 

"Vanessa, you're going to reunite Nira and Lyra, I want you to get as much HP, MP, sleep, and crippling potions as possible."  (I) 

"How much time do we have?"  (Vanessa) 

"Before I answer that, do you know if I can drink more Dragon blood now?"  (I) 

"You said you got the [ Dragon Constitution ] skill, so you should be able to drink twice as much blood with no permanent side effects."  (Vanessa) 

"Then we're leaving in six days, get everything ready."  (I) 

"Also tell Anton and Lyra to have the magic weapons ready by then."  (I) 

"This deadline is a little tight, but I think we can make it."  (Vanessa) 

After that each one went to do what they should be leaving just me and Layla alone, even Freya returned to the mansion saying that she would start preparing food for everyone. 

"What a big deal this is, but I'll try to figure it out."  (I) 

"You complain too much, master."  (Layla) 

"You have to learn to have more fun, you get too focused on problems."  (Layla) 

"If you haven't noticed yet, but I'm responsible for every person in this mansion, each of you is people I consider my family, that's why these problems are so bothersome, I don't like to leave you in danger, that's why I don't I do nothing before making sure we have a chance of surviving."  (I) 

"We all know how much you care about us, but we don't like to see you sighing in the corners and wearing that tired face."  (Layla) 

"That's why I want you to look on the bright side, soon we'll be somewhere where you won't have to hide your race, none of us will have to."  (Layla) 

"That will be good, but we'll also have to face an army of Undead and other monsters."  (I) 

"Things aren't so bad, this time we'll be able to handle it better thanks to everything that happened at Dungeon."  (Layla) 

"I hope so, I hope that Necromancer's monsters are not resistant to Holy magic like the Lesser Lich of that dungeon was."  (I) 

"But first, it would be good for you to go learn some Aura control from Sophia."  (Layla) 

"Speaking of which, where Sophia went, I didn't even see her leave."  (I) 

"She went to train, when she saw that the conversation was getting complicated she decided to leave it to you and the others and went to train with Alice."  (Layla) 

"I'm going to look for Sophia tomorrow, I have a lot to do in the next few days, I'm tired just thinking about it."  (I)
