Chapter 135 - 135. Would You Kill Me If You Are Being Told To Do So...? (1/2)
”Honey, today the members are all taking a break from their grinding and levelling up. They wanted to take a dip on the roof afterwards. Would that be OK for them?” Patricia brought up the subject because she feels our children and the members need some binding time with us since I had been away from them except on during meal times.
The chain of the events for the past few days had brought us slightly apart and I immediately agree. ”Sure, why not... A bit of R&R would not hurt them at all. Especially when they had been working furiously to get the ratings to hit sky-high.”
”Thank you, Guild Master, for allowing us to have some free time. As the saying goes, 'All work and no play would make Jack a dull boy. I don't know who Jack is but I'm sure he is not a jackass for sure.” Rodney was grinning from ear to ear when he heard that the members would take a break and use the pool for some relaxation.
”Don't have to thank me, the decision is yours. As a leader of the junior members, you should be able to decide what is good and what is not. Even though grinding daily may sound like a chore but basically, you are levelling much faster than the other Houses.”
”There would be a time where the Houses would start coming here and ask what we had created in order for all of you to Level up at this blazing speed,” I said and Rodney knew what I was implying and decides to slow down once they hit Level 5.
”Daddy, what are we going to do right after? We are now at Level 5, Mummy is now Level 4 and the junior members are Level 3. The other members from other houses are struggling and it seems that we are the ones that had shoot straight up in the sky like a fireworks rocket.” Ingles pointed out to me since they had almost completed the quest that was compiled in the quest booklet.
”Yes, Daddy... Don't tell me we would keep on grinding and gathering resources until there's no end? There must be something to do that is more fun than these.” Jane explained as she is nearing her goal in completing her quest booklet too.
I looked at them and then spoke up finally, ”Being an Adventurer doesn't mean that someone has to stick to the so-called unwritten House rules. There are more things to do than meets the eyes. Right now we are on peacetime mode, but that doesn't mean that it would be forever like this, right?”
”The Southern District has 15 Quests and if I'm not wrong, there are 10 battle Quests and 5 gathering Quests. These Quests in the Southern involved the Plains and The Wasteland where the Battle of Qodegh once fought for some years.”
”I myself had not even ventured deeper in the Northern Forest because it connects to some other places, not explored or discovered by many adventurers. There are 29 connecting towns in the North, East and West and there are 4 cities that surround us at the borders some 20-50 clicks away.”
”There are 2 unbeaten paths in the Northern Forest that do not lead to the nearest town but it leads right into the Troll Caves and the goblins hideout as well as the unknowns. The centre path leads to the nearest town while another fork on the left side would bring you to the treacherous, cavernous icy mountains where there would be more beasts and monsters available.”
”An Adventurer does not go around just for kills but to uncover unchartered grounds not shown on our map in the system. Would it be better if we have a map and we can use it to pinpoint places of interest?”
”Don't treat a quest as a quest... Which means if let's say you went around and then you meet someone who needs your assistance, but has got nothing in return, would you help the person out?”
”I will help them, Daddy. Helping others also raises our reputation and we can gain points too.” Kayla answered excitedly as she thought a quest is something that is meant to be accomplished but helping others in need is another way to gain good reputations.
”What if the someone who asked for your assistance wants you to kill another person?” I drilled these question into their minds because these requests may exist from time to time and I wonder what they would decide to determine the other part's fate or even their own.
