Fairy is one of the unique races in this mainland. They lived in their private realm and seldom themselves from appearing in public.
However, whoever meets the Fairies, they will be blessed by them.
They're indeed a strange species one, they will generously reward you with a blessing even without doing anything for them. As long as you meet them, you will get a blessing.
A blessing from Fairies is very a big help to a Mage.
For example, Strength Blessing: When a Mage activates it, it will help them to temporarily strengthen their strength.
Vision Blessing: When a Mage activates it, it can help them to open their inner eyes temporarily so that they can see things that cannot be seen in general.
Luck Blessing: When a Mage activates it, it can give them a stroke of luck at certain moments.
There are still various kinds of Blessing that Fairies can give, but only a few lucky people who can meet the Fairies.
Silica got Luck Blessing when she went with her father to go on a C-Rank quest. Her father was the C-Rank Mage of the Cerberus Guild and Silica was still not a mage guild at that time.
Back then, Silica insisted on joining her father for the quest, she was curious every time her father left she was always left alone for several days. Her father also could not bear to refuse his precious daughter's request and decided to bring her along, in any case, the place he was going to visit was a safe zone of Lonely Valley.
It should be fine yet, everything went wrong.
The monsters of Lonely Valley suddenly run amock all over the safe zone and almost all mages got killed in this tide, only some lucky mages manage to survived from disaster.
Silica's father was one of the unlucky mages who fell. Silica herself, if not for her father led her into hiding and sacrificed his life to protect her at the last moment, maybe she already became a snack of monsters at that time.
She was trapped in the hiding place for several days and almost dead from hunger, therefore she decided to venture the hiding place for food. Surprisingly she met a Fairy in there and blessed her with Luck Blessing.
Thanks to her Luck Blessing, after she came out of hiding, she relied on it to avoid dangerous places and monsters in the Lonely Valley. Upon met some mages in Lonely Valley, she begged them and reveal her Luck Blessing and finally, she received by them and bring her out of there.
From then on, she has relied on Luck Blessing very much up until now, she also used her blessing to get this quest.
She can change the unfavorable situations into a favorable one. Whenever she used her Luck Blessing, she felt the world on her side. She thought to go to Lonely Valley in the past was a fruitful journey, although it ended up with her father dead, she didn't regret it at all.
After all, this is fate. If not for her father's sacrifice, maybe she won't get a chance to met with Fairy Ziva and got blessed from her. Therefore, her father didn't die in vain.
It should be right that many teams in the guild wanted to recruit her into their team, after all, Luck Blessing could help their team very much. She wants to join with some higher-up teams like B-Rank or C-rank, unfortunately, the higher-up teams like them were proudful enough to disdain an F-Rank Mage who wants to join them even though she has Luck Blessing.
She was angry when she heard the first rejection throughout her life, she vowed to make them regret it in their whole life for rejecting her.
Thus she decided to join an E-Rank team and slowly snatch the position of the leader from Zack. And then she will let their team bathed in glory because of her and climbed up into the highest rank team in Cerberus Guild.
Thinking about her ambition, she feels excited and looking forward to her glorious future.
This E-Rank quest is her first step to get closer to her goal. She will rely on her Luck Blessing this time too and everything will be smooth as her skin.
Meanwhile, Z Brothers still kept in the dark about Silica's ambition. Zack peeked into the Luminous Lion's den to make sure it was really asleep. After confirming that, he immediately instructed his team, "Come on, we don't have much time"
Everyone agrees and carefully sneak inside the den.
While they are already gone inside, Lilia who was waiting silently behind them had already removed her black robe.
Ever since 'Liliana' joined the guild, she has always used a robe to cover up her sensitive identity. Therefore, all those who knew her have never seen her true face, they only knew that she is a female by judging from her feminine voice.
This time Lilia needs to take off of her robe and use her true face to cover up her black robe female identity in order to avoid the trouble she brought this time.
She wasn't sure that the group from any guild, but since 'Liliana' using the cloak female identity from the beginning of her journey as Mage, and she only an F-Rank Mage it best if Lilia can avoid troubles in early on. Moreover, this time she will create big trouble.
In any case, If she discovers by that group using her true face, she can cover up it by using her cloak female identity anytime.
Upon waiting for them to enter first, not long after, she also enters the den without known by them.
She peeks at Luminous Lion who sound asleep like the previous time. Its body gave off a luminous golden glow, in Lilia's perspective, that monster's like a stack of gold bars. If she doesn't recognize it's a monster, she will surely inspect it closer.
While the group approaches the Luminous Egg Flower, Lilia is inspecting for a safe hiding place in this den. She began to feel panicked because there wasn't much time left, if she didn't hurry then the group would get its goal while she will get nothing left.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she inspected, she still hadn't found a safe hiding place here. But suddenly she had an idea...
Although she's somewhat afraid of this ridiculous idea, she has no choice left. Lilia sucks a deep breath and walks closer to where Luminous Lion lay sleeping. Even in its sleep, it still gave off a dangerous aura.
'God please blessed me with the Luck of Transmigrator...' she prayed that God would listen to her prayers.
'Dammit, I'm not going to do this kind of quest again, this is not good for my little heart!' she wants to cry but has no tear.
Soon, she arrived behind Luminous Lion and got so much excited because her guess was right. There's hiding spot behind Luminous Lion and it's unexpectedly big enough to let her in it.
She hurriedly enters the hole and briefly adjusts her position of hiding, she has to make sure that this guy won't spot her in here.
After finished it, Lilia pulled a stone the size of her palm from her cosmos ring. Her heart beating so fast as it will jump off for any moment when she stares at the stone. She sucks a deep breath once more as her eyes showed a determination.
She throws the stone up and the stone swirls above in slow motion as if deciding the fate of Lilia, Luminous Lion, Z Brothers, and Silica.
Plump
The moment the stone landed on Luminous Lion's body, it slowly opens its dangerous eyes.
Lilia grumbled in fear, "God I trust you more than Fairies"
