Chereads / The Journey Of The Immortal King / Chapter 18 - Dove Of Hope (2)

Chapter 18 - Dove Of Hope (2)

Kazama remains silent for a time period thinking "should I help them?"

"But it's not right to leave them as."

"Hm.….what should I do? I want to help them but it will get into my way only...hm..."

And then he speaks up saying "ok.…I will help you."

Just these words were enough to make Yohlo cry infront of Kazama and seeing him cry out of happiness Kazama thinks "yes, I did right and I should help them."

After that Yohlo says "so now I should tell you about the plant which you have to get."

Just as Yohlo said that, Kazama's eyes, ears and mind were focused on Yohlo's next words.

Yohlo says "The plant which will cure my father's disease is a bit difficult to find but I know you will find it."

"It's a type of pink flower with pink leafs and its base it of green colour along with its stem and it's small in size just like a plant."

"And its name is creasey Tricase, cure of Tricase disease."

Kazama's reaction is normal as he didn't know that this type of plant even exists not to mention the disease.

Yohlo continues saying "and you will find it outside the Kingdom."

To this statement Kazama questions Yohlo saying "ok, but where would I get it outside the Kingdom?"

"Is there a specific location or I have to search the whole forest that is outside the Kingdom?"

Yohlo with a smile on his face says "that I don't know, you have to find it yourself."

Kazama don't know why but this answer of Yohlo makes him a little bit angrier and Kazama thinks "why did I even accepted their request?"

But soon Kazama's anger was subdued as he already knew about the condition of both of them and so he says "ok, thank you for your time and now I will soon go out and find it and will be back as soon as possible."

"So till then bye."

And Kazama leaves their house.

When he was leaving, Yohlo bowed down in respect and Kazama saw it, accepted his gratitude then left.

Kazama came out of the house and now he thinks "I have accepted the request but how in the world will I find that plant?"

With no clue at all Kazama thinks that he should first book an inn and rest, then he should search it starting tomorrow.

Kazama starts walking and when he came out of the poor street he saw the luxurious lifestyle of people outside the street of poors and it once again reminded him of how cruel the world is.

In every world, whether it is of humans or of any other creatures, it's bound to have the same moral values - strong tramples on the weak, bully them - and for the weak there is no justice.

It's always fair to do anything if you have power, status, authority or wealth. In this world also, Kazama himself experienced this after his meeting with Yohlo and his father.

When Kazama was walking with many topics in his minds he suddenly saw a bright light, just like someone threw a torch at him, ding….it was a notification from the system.

Kazama thinks "whew, I thought something scary is going to struck me but to think it's the light coming from the system's notification".

He instantly thinks "but...I got a notification after a pretty long time".

He reads that and a smirk appears on his face.

It looks like it's something good as Kazama was making a happy face, not the type of like happy face but like that he is going to get something interesting soon. The smile that indicates he will get something good in return for his work.

The notification says

"Yohlo Quest"

"Find the plant which will cure Yohlo's father, within 5 days"

"Reward : • increases Yohlo's trust

• A new skill"

"Failure : • decreases the trust of Yohlo

• All quests related to Yohlo will perish"

"Will you accept it?"

["Yes" ] or [ "no"]

After reading this notification Kazama thinks "it's a quest and I have already accepted their request to find that plant...so it's good that I will get a new skill but can't they already tell me what type of skill I will get upon its completion" after saying this he sighs.

He asks system "will I get quests related to Yohlo even if I decline it?"

A notification appears stating "declining is treated same as failing"

He now thinks "but it's not about reward, it's about what will happen if I fail. So I must complete it successfully".

He thinks "it says quests related to Yohlo then does it mean that there will be more quest like these in the future if Yohlo's father gets cured and Yohlo sees me as his benefactor"

"oooohh it's good"

He thinks "yes I will accept it"

And ding the notification disappears.

He is amazed that just by thinking he can accept it or decline.

After this he makes up his mind and to start as early as possible he finds an inn and stays there for the night inorder to replenish the energy for this quest.

He decides to start his quest the next morning.

The next morning, sun rises, Kazama checks out of the inn, went to Yohlo's house and met him.

He said "I am going to find the plant to get your father treated so don't worry, it will take some time to find it but I will return within 5 days."

Saying this Yohlo's reaction was affirmative and warm, he replies "t..thank you for accepting our request."

"I will hope for your success so please bring that plant to us."

Saying this Yohlo's eyes were full of tears, on the brink of overflowing but Kazama turns back from his door and starts walking after saying "I will be back".

This sentence was very cool and the way Kazama said it was even cooler, it was morning so it was perfect timing that it looked like sun is shining infront of Kazama and then Kazama said those words so it was so assuring for Yohlo.

Yohlo cleans his eyes and went inside his house thinking "I hope you will get that plant...I hope..you will.…"
