Chapter 4105: Setting the Trap (Part 2)

Their only options had been to go to the Blood Desert and ask Salaark for hospitality in her beach house. The Overlord had graciously agreed, according to the couple the same privileges Lith and Kamila had enjoyed during their honeymoon.

"Stupid calendar." Nalrond sighed. "Our fifteen days are almost over. Time sure flies when nobody tries to kill you."

"It sure does. I- wait a second." Friya felt something tug at her consciousness and answered her communication amulet. "The good news is that’s not my parents. The bad news is that’s Lith."

"Why is that bad news?" Nalrond asked.

"When is the last time he called you just to chat?" Friya grunted. "He only remembers communication amulets exist when he needs something."

"Sad, but true. Why aren’t you answering?" He said.

"Are you crazy?" Friya was wearing a bikini that left a lot of skin exposed, while Nalrond wore swim trunks. She had her armor cover her from neck to toe before pressing the rune. "Put your clothes on. I do mind sharing."

He chuckled, but did as bidden.

"I’m sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but there’s something you need to hear." Lith said the moment his hologram appeared.

"Hello to you too, Lith. It’s nice to see you again. How was your honeymoon? Ours was fine until you called." Friya smiled and her voice sounded sweet, but it dripped so much sarcasm that the rest of Mogar ran out of it.

"Fine, I’m sorry." He sighed. "To my defense, I’m not worried about you guys because Jirni and Quylla give me extensive reports every time they call you. There was no point in annoying you just to hear what I already know."

"Too little and too late." She shook her head. "Get to the point."

"There have been several sightings of creatures that might be Upyrs, and the Crown asked me to investigate." Lith replied. "I’m going with Tista, Morok, and Protector, plus two more helpers.

"Since your family is in need of merits to prolong your parents’ leave, I wanted to know if Nalrond is interested in participating."

"What about me?" Friya’s eyes narrowed.

"It’s cold, and you’re pregnant." Lith replied. "Do I have to remind a fellow Healer how dangerous the first time is?"

"No, but if it’s really a scouting mission, you can use my help to observe from a distance or retreat quickly." Friya said. "Also, if the other two guys are Awakened with a violet core, eight is the perfect number.

"You can conjure an anti-Guardian spell while I open a retreat Warp. As for the cold, I’ll crank the heating enchantment of my armor to the maximum."

"These are all fair points, but I’ve yet to hear Nalrond’s answer." Lith said.

"Count me in." The Agni nodded. "I’m itching to try my new spells, and I can use a practice match against Upyrs. That said, I’m not sure you should come with us, Friya."

"Me neither." She replied, surprising everyone. "Believe me, I know the risks, and I’d never put our twins in danger just to prove a point. Yet this is going to be my first and last opportunity to go on a mission with my powers boosted.

"With my current abilities, I’m confident I can stay in the backline and make a difference. I promise you I won’t do anything stupid and I’ll just shoot people from a distance with Thundercrash."

She noticed Nalrond’s hesitation, so she added:

"If Narchat comes looking for us, he won’t knock on our door or give me time to prepare. I can use a bit of practice against Upyrs as well, especially while I still have margin for error. If something goes wrong, one of you can save me."

"Fine, dammit." Nalrond sighed. "When and where?"

"As soon as you can." Lith replied. "Our suspects are in the Nestrar region, in the western area of the Kingdom."
