Chapter 106: Verdaria Prime.
"My children! My dear, beloved children!" Once again Lunax held his speech, standing on the top of the rift gate, but this time there were hundreds of thousands of people gathered outside the city.
Lee was positive that everyone came since the promised reward for the upcoming conquest was a Divine gift. He was probably one of the few who didn’t intend to join, but he still came to take a look at the event and listen to the brainwash as a part of the show.
Even though he would’ve loved to comfortably sit back in a big chair while munching on popcorn, he was kneeling at the side of the crowd along with the rest.
"You know I love and appreciate you all, and I want the best for you!" Lunax continued. It was amazing how his words traveled to the ears of the every person no matter if they were at the front of the crowd or the very back, "And this time I thought of exciting game we could all play together!"
’Now this is something new!’ Lee thought to himself. He had listened to multiple Lunax’s brainwashing sessions, but a game was an innovative addition.
"I’ve found a world, a peculiar one, named Verdaria Prime." Lunax said, "It’s not as beautiful as our home, it’s the perfect spot for you to play around! Your task is – to find the life spark! Yes, life spark! Contrary to the common four spark types found in beasts, this one is found in a plant, very rarely, though. I can’t tell you what does it look like, but you’ll know when you find it. A hint – most likely it’s hidden in the biggest and oldest plant you’ll find, but look for yourselves!"
Lee felt the people surrounding him barely keeping themselves together from the excitement. For some reason everyone immediately assumed they were the ones who were guaranteed to find the thing.
He, on the other hand, was more interested why Lunax didn’t go and get the spark himself. Obviously he needed it for some purpose, and somehow he found a world with high chances of a life spark being there.
But what kept him from getting it? He was opening rifts at his will, right? Or he had to have the rift gate to travel long destinations? Or maybe there was something there he was scared of?
