INK START FANTASY: Dream
CHAPTER 169: RETURN TO THE KINGDOM OF LORENA

"wasn't mister Dowen the strongest of the dark elves and the one who was supposed to lead them? Why did you choose to be my subordinate?"

There were only a few dark elves who survived and it could be counted with fingers. The dream was too realistic to think of another dark elf rather than a player who obtained his follower NPCs at a very high level.

"The king has guaranteed the lives of my brothers. No more need for a leader from us, because it will be disrespectful to the king Ferris Austuna who has stretched out his hand to accommodate us. Different from you, Mr. Dream. Not only did you accept the last wishes of my brothers even after their forever departure, and it was because of your actions, that removed us from the influence of where Chaos was in the midst of battle, he said, until we stand up until now. We would be ashamed if we did not pay for your own good and nothing we have, is left any more, other than this body. At least, let me, the strongest among the others who will serve you as a knight. This is all we can do and not offend the elves who have accepted us"

Dowen stated with his eyes full of decision, but Dream is still hesitant to accept it or not.

NPCs in the game seem full of emotions they have like ordinary humans. Even though players were out in the game, the lives of NPCs would go on with their respective activities and live their lives uninterruptedly for a day.

This is what makes the dream to accept it or not. In fact, as a player, having NPC followers who have levels far above them, is an extraordinary gift that can be obtained.

"yes, I'm very grateful to have such a strong subordinate like you, but I also have a hard time accepting you. As you know, I am from another world like my type people. Right now I don't have a permanent residence either. I will go and leave this world once in a while for an indefinite period of time. If in this adventure in the world, it would be no problem taking you, even being a great help with you being by my side. The problem is when you become my follower and I'm not here, the placement I have to give you"

Each NPC had their own life and activities even without player interference. Unlike if NPCs become subordinate to other NPCs, where they have the residence and activities that can be given by their subordinates, Dreams that have no place to live and will occasionally come out of the game, will put Dowen's position in obscurity.

It becomes the mind in the head of the dream. Unlike his other subordinates, such as IKILUA, Alice, and Togay, they were players and had their own activities.

Dowen is different to the players. The thing that Dream herself and herself who does not have expertise in this matter feel burdened even though they will get high-level subordinates.

"you don't have to think about it, let me take care of the rest. If you leave in a period of time, I'll wait for you"

"then where will you sleep, eat and stay? Unlike you, we players hardly need that"

"you don't need to be khawa-"

"no-no, you're strong, I believe you can find your own food, but, what I'm worried about is your race. Racism still occurs in many places, especially the human kingdom. When I was in a place where there were still a lot of people who were negative towards people who were different from them and I had to leave this world while when we were there, what about you?"

"trust pad-"

"when you're hurt, because you don't want to get me in trouble, it's going to worry me. I'm not thinking of you because a high level of your ability is enough to defend, but if you don't fight under certain conditions and don't want to put me in a difficult position, there are times when you'll get hurt"

"trust me, Mr. Dream"

Dowen's eyes are full of confidence and unanimous decisions. Unable to stop him again, Dream accepts Dowen as his knight.

The total follower slot that Dream could have had was filled and there were only 4 more left to fill after a few slots were occupied by her friends.

...----------------...

After various affairs have been completed, Dream is in the backyard of the palace, precisely the area around Lake Insania.

"when will you come back?"

Phine was there with her humanoid body and farewell to the current Dream.

"quietly, have you not given me a branch of your body to communicate? Just tell me if you want to meet again, I'll come visit"

Despite her cute pouting appearance, Phine did not force her wish back.

"are you going to stay here?"

"yes, Diaval's teacher allowed him to keep practicing with her. During the battle yesterday, I really couldn't do much"

Dream asked with IKILUA who was beside him. Diaval who taught him some time ago, was willing to teach IKULUA further.

"don't take too long. Practicing is good for raising stat points, but levels are still needed for players. Don't let me catch up with you and leave you far behind"

"it takes a lot of experience after passing level 100, you still need a long time to catch up to me. What level are you at now?"

"lvl 103"

"..kugh.., I will fight my hardest under the guidance of the teacher Diaval and finish the lesson as soon as possible"

Not only did it eliminate many monsters in battle, but the various quests that Dreams carried in battle were completely resolved. This makes the experience he gets shot high.

Currently IKILUA is still at level 110 of its level 105. Although he rose a full 5 levels in just one event, in contrast to Dreams that shot far to reach level 103.

After parting ways with Pine, it was the turn of the elf king to send Dream back to the Lorena kingdom. It was only a formal meeting, because at this time Dream was a messenger, a person from Lorena's side who was borrowed by the elf king.

There were three things that Dreams had achieved from his loan in the Onteral kingdom. To meet the figure of the tree of life, which turns out to know each other is considered to know each other, to grow or strengthen the tree of life itself, even though accidentally from the side of the Dream, from the side of the dream, and help the great attack of the Chaos world creature whose role becomes very important.

The Onteral party did not dare to borrow the Dream figure for too long from the Lorena kingdom. Therefore, Dream was sent back by the elf king.

"we're going back?"

Togay was already there with the Lorena priests, waiting for Dreams in the city's teleportation portal. Moreover, there were some elves present. It was likely that they were delegations sent for inter-royal affairs.

Well, in addition to the Dream loan, there were also Lorena priests who came to help the battle. Possibly they were sent for the business of giving thanks and so on.

"is uncle dark elf coming too?"

Of course, dark elf Dowen followed Dream and was beside her. Seeing that, Togay asked, because the affairs of the kingdom were already represented by the elves who participated and the dark elves should not be part of it.

"uncle Dowen has decided to come with me and be my knight"

"what!?"

Dreams answered Togay's questions casually and replies to Togay's surprise afterwards who listened to the answers from Dreams.

There were no problems and obstacles blocking the group in returning to the Lorena kingdom. With people acting as messengers and important people, Dream and Togay finally returned to the Lorena kingdom safely and smoothly.
