Chapter 604 - Sylvia's Night Chat
Sylvia invited Elysia to sit on the bed for a bedtime conversation.
"Ely, tell me why we came to this mansion?" Sylvia looked deeply into Elysia's eyes. Now they were finally able to have a heart-to-heart private talk.
"I just wanted to ask for some information about places to explore. I mean, we need to find out the unsolved mysteries and search for resources in this world." Elysia put on a pitiful expression.
"Why do we need to source resources when we already have so many high-quality ones from our world?" Sylvia tilted her head in surprise.
"You know, it might help us, but not to a certain point. Say if I recover a hundred thousand EP with resources from another world. I'm sure the Earth God will come and seal our power again. He might tolerate it since we only use a little, and it's already mixed with this world's magic energy. However, it will be different if there's a lot. I want to do a lot of things to find my way back. And all of that requires a lot of magic energy..." Elysia put her hands together. She knew Sylvia just didn't fully understand the situation yet.
"Earth God, ugh, really? Why don't we just get rid of this stupid seal and kick that stupid God's ass? Our magic is actually our lifeline. This world's God can go easy on us just because this is his world!? Ely, please call your master, and let's beg her to kick that annoying Earth God ass for us. He just doesn't know his fvking place and who he's trying to offend." Sylvia gritted her teeth. She felt furious and annoyed.
"No, I can't do it. We could actually get rid of this seal, but the Earth God will soon re-seal our power again. He said that our pure magic energy can harm the balance of this world. Disaster will happen if we carelessly use our magic energy from Vrelena." Elysia shook her head.
"Hmm... If that's the case, we need to quickly become a professional treasure and resource looters. We don't truly need to come here and ask for information from those impolite humans." Sylvia stroked her chin in thought.
"Uhm..." Elysia just nodded slightly.
"Nee, Ely, is it possible for you to share your knowledge of this world's languages with me? Is there a practical way to learn the language you use in this world to communicate? I feel like I'm in the dark because I don't understand anything everyone is saying if it weren't for that. you." Sylvia raised her hand and made her request.
Elysia tried to weigh it down on Rhea, but the latter also thought so. "Uhm, I guess there's no other way but to learn it step by step... If you want, I'll teach it with the help of a dictionary and translation, of course."
"En." Sylvia nodded in understanding.
At that moment, Sylvia suddenly put her hands on Elysia's cheeks. She sandwiched Elysia's face between her palms. "Listen to me, Ely. I guess I have to say this now. Please forgive me if I sound harsh, heartless, and mean, okay? It's for your own good, really."
"..." Elysia just nodded in reply. She couldn't possibly refute if Sylvia looked at her so worriedly like that.
"Ely, I know you are kind-hearted, but at least please know your limits. You can't be kind and compassionate to everyone. You will only be taken advantage of and maybe regret something one day.
Devils are cruel, but sometimes humans are more terrifying. We do evil frankly, but humans hide their evilness behind their falsehood. You won't know until you find one.
Like the case just now. Those humans are weak creatures who are arrogant and presumptuous. They didn't even know who they were dealing with. I don't know what you're talking about with them, but I know you're cornered in the conversation. You are a superior being, Ely, even to me. Why don't you let them know their lowly place? Uhm, you need to be more aggressive and show dominance.
Erina may be friendly, but she is still naive and innocent, maybe? But, her family and entire clan are not like that. They can be very selfish and cunning. They can use a thousand ways to use things to their advantage.
Troubles will come no matter what you do, but you will benefit far more when you make it clear that you are superior. So, everyone will be reluctant to cause trouble to us. Hey, I even came as a wealthy traveler to Holy City, and there's no idiot making trouble. Well, there are some, but I punish them accordingly. Fuh..." Sylvia paused and took a breath. She was out of breath from talking so much in one breath.
However, she still sandwiched Elysia's face and looked into the eyes.
"Okay, next. I've been watching you from various cases. You are sometimes pretty passive and just accept the situation. You should be more active and selfish about your desires.
If you want something, make sure you will get it no matter what. Really, Ely... I'm uneasy about you if you continue like this. I'm sure your master will be worried too.
If someone hurt you, would you just forgive them? Even if you don't harm them in the same way, at least give them the pain of equal value. You can call it tribulation, karma, trial, or punishment. Revenge is not evil.
Uhh, that goes for your closest ones and everyone too. If they dare to mistreat you, then you have every right to do the same to them. Prank for a prank, eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Can you comprehend everything that I said? Ely, my friend?" Sylvia took a deep breath and brought her face closer to Elysia.
"Un." Elysia just nodded. She remembered what Elena had told her, but she still couldn't put it into practice.
'Fufu, that is our demonic dragon princess. She cares so much for my dear silly Ely. Huhu, you heard that, Ely? Someone ends up feeling the same worry as me.' Elena wiped her non-existent tears.
"Un." Elysia responded, but it was actually for Elena.
Unfortunately, Sylvia felt a bit annoyed by that response. She pushed Elysia to lie down on the bed and sat on Elysia's tummy.
"Wha, what do you want to do, Sylvi?" Elysia panicked a little.
"Give me an answer with words. I know you're good with words, and I don't like you just saying 'un'. I can see you will repeat the same mistakes again and again until you feel regret." Sylvia held onto both of Elysia's arms. She didn't want this girl to run away from this conversation.
"I, I understand. I am very grateful for your concern and concern. I will heed my decision at another time when needed. Yes, the world is cruel, and I can't always be nice all the time. My master has told me, and it's kind of similar to what you are saying, Sylvi. Can you let me go now?" Elysia immediately gave an answer with a bit of a stutter.
"Hehe, that's good. Even Vann agrees with me." Sylvia gave a nod of approval as she glanced at the nearby white cat.
Vanessa just watched from beside the bed because she was interested in what Sylvia and her master would do. Even so, she nodded as she agreed with Sylvia's statement.
Sylvia then freed Elysia, but she lay next to her friend. "Tomorrow, they will probably try to take advantage of you for something, an exploit. I can see their intentions. If we can get information from them, we will go with it. Terms and conditions are only if it benefits us, not detrimental. If they want something from us, you determine the conditions. You are superior, remember? Don't let those annoying humans cross their boundaries and your bottom line."
"Understood. Thank you." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.
"No worry, you are my closest one after all. Let's go to bed. Tomorrow we will explore the world for resources!" Sylvia smiled sweetly and raised her fist high.
Vanessa then went huddled near her master. After that, they went to sleep.
When everyone was asleep, Elena looked at Rhea with a sparkle in her eyes. "Hmm... Do you know what I'm thinking, Rhea?"
"My apologies, I can't read your mind, Master Elena." Rhea didn't understand what Elena meant and just apologized.
"Hm, that's just a figure of speech, though? I mean, our Ely is indeed superior, but she unfortunately sometimes forgets about it. Hmm, I'd like to see my Ely a bit more aggressive once in a while, hehe... Ahem, do you know what I want to say? You are part of us now. Are you in line with me?" Elena held out her hand.
"I'll do anything if it's for the good of you and Master Elysia." Rhea shook Elena's hand.
"All right, that's all for today. Let's sleep~ Do you want to sleep here or go back to your temporary bracelet abode, Rhea?" Elena went to the canopy bed.
"Uhm, can I sleep here?" Rhea twiddled with her finger. She knew Elysia's EP had recovered quite a bit, and that was enough to let her consciousness stay here for quite a while.
"Sure, why not? But Ely's spirit is mine. You sleep on the other side." Elena pointed the other way. She hugged Elysia's spirit and let Rhea sleep on the empty side.
"Thank you." Rhea went to bed and glanced at Elena a few times. She still didn't understand why Elena liked sleeping so much while hugging Elysia's spirit. This was an obsessive value on a different level, apparently.
Even so, the curious Rhea decided to get closer to Elysia's spirit even though she was only dealing with the back.
Morning came, and Sylvia was the first to wake up. She immediately woke up Elysia and Vanessa. "Come on, sleepyhead. It's morning, and it's time for us to collect the promises from the humans."
"Uhm..." Elysia was a bit light-headed, but she woke up nevertheless.
"Ely, if they dare to act presumptuously or have bad intentions, please don't stop me from punishing them, okay? We gave them mercy and opportunity yesterday, only once." Sylvia gave a bright smile.
"I understand." Elysia rubbed her head. She felt so silly yesterday for being passive and ended up being cornered. Maybe, her mind was tired to think because it was already night? She was short of brain juice.
"Nice, it's already a little over six. Let's meet Erina first. Don't let them take advantage of you unless you want to use them back." Sylvia hurriedly put all the crystals and her things into her Space Bag. She didn't want anything to be left behind here.
After the room was free of objects from Vrelenia, they went out of the room.
