169 Chapter 161 - Decision and Dream. (1/2)

”What? How is Ai right now?” said Sky, he is currently talking with Maria through the phone, he is obviously worried about Ai.

Ben touched Sky's shoulder a bit, indicating him to pass the phone to him, and Sky did so.

”Tell me about her condition in detail... Okay, I see. You go to my personal room in the infirmary, open the drawer at the left side of my desk, there should be a few bottles of teal-colored liquid, take one bottle and let her drink it, it's to replenish vitality and magic level.” said Ben, then he hanged up the phone after finish giving Maria some complete instructions.

Then he realized the other two are staring at him.

”Don't worry, just one bottle would not leave any side effects on her body.” said Ben, trying to explain to them.

”You know we are not talking about that. You are still consuming that medicine?” said Sky.

”Seriously, you are a doctor, you should know better than us how bad the consequences of over consumption for that kind of medicine.” said Chris, a bit angry.

”Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.” said Ben trying to avoid the topic.

”No, you obviously don't.” said Chris.

Suddenly, someone knocked their door. It's that boy in the clergy outfit again.

”Good afternoon, His Grace ordered me to give this to you.” said the boy while handed Sky a small box, then he bowed at the three and left.

Sky opened the box, inside of the box is a map, a yellow gemstone, and a Bible.

”This is the map for our quest location... But what's the use of this gemstone and Bible?” Sky asked while staring at Chris.

”Well, it's not like I will have the answer even if you stared at me like this.” said Chris, rather awkward.

Sky continues staring Chris for a few seconds until a state that Chris had to push Sky's face away from his sight.

”Anyway... It's really a lucky decision to let Maria stay at the secret base, the only weakness for that kind of worm is extremely high heat. But seriously, it's kind of impressive that there is still someone who are able to breed this kind of worm.” said Chris, trying to drawing away Sky's attention.

”Seriously, that's really beyond our expectations, I can't even imagine what would happen if Maria wasn't there.” said Sky, who had successfully getting distracted by Chris.

”The aftermath could be quite complicated and tedious, should we head back?” Ben asked Chris.

”I want to complete this quest first... You can get back to secret base without me.” said Chris with a really low volume, a bit troubled.

Sky looks at him with concerned eyes, it disheartening for him to see Chris is such behavior. He patted Chris's shoulder.

”Don't worry, we will do it together with you, we will leave the secret base to Maria, I believe he is able to handle it well.” said Sky.

”But not today. We will do it tomorrow, right now, both your physicality and mentality need a good rest.” said Sky in a gentle and caring voice.

Chris nodded sheepishly like a kid.
