When Lily and William arrived at Zaila's home, luckily, she was home when they knocked. They were invited to breakfast, which Lily was happy about. Garret was also present when they had reunited, which she was incredibly happy about. As they ate, Lily looked at them and could see that Zaila looked like a blooming flower.
"I'm glad you're back together." she said, smiling.
"We just had communication problems, but you brought us back together." said Zaila who was happy again.
Garret smiled widely and cleared his throat and said, "I have proposed to her again and we are planning a wedding soon."
Lily was happy for them when she heard that and was reminded that she had never been married before but had always dreamed of a beautiful wedding where she wore a long beautiful white dress and was married in a big flower garden in the summer.
She quickly came back to reality and said, “Congratulations. I wish you a beautiful wedding.”
When Zaila heard her, she said, “What are you talking about? You are invited as the first. You must be my flower girl.”
Argh, Lily knew flower girls were little girls and she'd rather be a bride girl instead but remembered she was Zaila's daughter now and didn't want to disappoint her.
“Of course, mother.” she said and continued eating.
When they were done Lily looked at Zaila and outside at the many stallions and asked where to find them. Zaila told that they came from a divine world that humans did not have access to and they could not bring her there even if they wanted to. Lily was not surprised when she heard that but was annoyed and inquired about the location of the divine world.
"A place in heaven." Zaila replied, pointing at the ceiling.
"How did you get those?" Lily asked curiously.
"They came when the portal split all the worlds." she answered.
Divided worlds?
Lily was confused but remembered that all myths, legends, gods, and creatures were gathered in one world now and suddenly understood the meaning behind her words. She asked about it, but Zaila shook her head and put a finger in front of her mouth to shut her up. She took out a note and wrote something on it and gave it to Lily who read it.
It listens along. At the end of the world there is a portal to another world. Find it. It has all the answers.
She knew her system was a curse or no it wasn't quite right. She had a good and an evil system and it sounded like most people tried to do without the evil part. She nodded and activated the Fireball and immediately burned the note afraid that the system could see and read what she was doing. In such a situation, she could use Eco and wondered what he was doing now. She missed him and didn't hope he had been stripped naked again and sent somewhere else and had met a new woman and fallen in love with her. She sighed and looked at the stallions again.

William, who was sitting next to her had a sharp eye and had read what was written on the note and looked at Lily who looked sad. He could put two and two together and knew that she was upset that the system was screwing with her all the time.
Reminded that there were creatures other than stallions, Lily looked at Zaila and asked, “Are there other types?”
She was really desperate to find some kind of transportation for her girls and now they were 19 together.
"There are celestial horses and dragon horses, but they are also in that place." she replied, shaking her head.
Lily knew that the only divine she knew was Eco who she thought was an angel so the next time they met she could ask if he could take her there and since he was immune to her system it shouldn't be a problem.
How about Sage Zengzi?
He was definitely some kind of God as he was incredibly strong but there was also Theia and Hebe and Baba Yaga.
She took out a note and wrote: Is there anyone who can guide me?
And gave it to Zaila who looked at it and wrote something on it and handed it back to her.
Ask Arthur, Cyrene, Theia or Hebe and stay away from Master Grimwald. Pope Xystus is ok, but he is forced to serve the sneaky gods, but he is not a bad person.
When Lily had read it, she showed it to William because he had helped her all the way and knew all her secrets now besides her Soul Manipulator class, but he wasn't stupid and had seen her orb. Condensing blue flames in his right hand, William burned the note as he read it and nodded to her.
Lily had already asked for Cyrene's help about her mother and Theia had helped her with her cleric quest which turned out to be a goddess quest and she already had a quest for Hebe besides that she had been given life elixirs and couldn't ask them for more help. There was absolutely no way she wanted to visit Grimwald and Xystus was a crappy pope so it all fell on Arthur who was King Arthur she was certain because otherwise Zaila wouldn't just write Arthur.
Was it time to see Camelot and hope that Avalon also existed but where on earth were those places?
Since she trusted her master, she wanted to visit Zengzi and ask if he had any advice before visiting Arthur.
She got up and went over and hugged Zaila and said, “Thank you so much mom. I will bring you something from my bakery when I have time.” and told that she was planning to visit Arthur as she had a sword to deliver to him.
When Zaila heard that, she wrote a note and gave it to her, which she read immediately:
Find Master Ryu. Ask Zengzi because they are friends.
Lily nodded and immediately burned the note with Fireball. So that meant if she didn't speak the system couldn't listen in so that also meant it wasn't listening to her thoughts, or did it?
System, she called in her head.
"I am here but the other is not here." replied the system.
She was relieved when she heard the voice because it meant the evil system couldn't spy on her when she wasn't talking, and it couldn't see or read her thoughts.
"I have found a trick where we can communicate in the future just you and me." she said to herself and smiled.
“Perfect. I felt like I was becoming a robot after hearing the other system all the time.” the system replied, its voice sounding happy for the first time which surprised her.
Lily and William flew back to Kahrlin and when they got home, they were greeted by Fergus and the others. Lily looked around and was happy that there was life in all the buildings and there was activity in the chimneys. She loved silence but did not care for the silence of death because it frightened her. She wanted to get everything ready today and leave tomorrow and had days for her killing quest, but she had an idea that if she killed the heck a little at a time it might extend her deadline.
