Chapter 19: Luke's family and the vacation.
while Lucas was working on the seventh and eighth floors of the dungeon.
In the Ashfall city, central plaza.
The explorer party which was made of Miles and the others had exited the dungeon and were now in full on holiday mode.
Currently they are gathered in the central plaza which is bustling with people going about their daily lives and the plaza itself is also very beautifully made with a exquisite fountain in the middle and many different types of flowers were planted around the plaza with magic stone powered light posts which light up at night spread throughout the plaza.
“Hey everyone, where do you think we should go first?” asked Miles.
“Hmm I think we should first go to a famous restaurant in Ashfall which I know. It's very popular for its delicious meat dishes.” said Robin.
“Oh I think we should go to a popular dessert shop which i know of. Its special ashen cake is very popular for its delicious taste.” said Luna.
“Oh I support Luna's idea. I also think we should first try out the Ashfall city desserts.” said Rebecca with enthusiasm.
“Oh then I think we should separate into three groups and then later in the evening we will meet again here at the central plaza to shop for supplies for our next dungeon dive.” suggested Luke.
“Wait why three and not two, do you have something to do today?” asked Miles to Luke.
“Yeah I indeed need to go somewhere else today, so I will meet you guys here in the evening again.” replied Luke.
“Oh where are you thinking of going today?” asked Rebecca with a little curiosity.
“Well, It's a family matter, so you understand right.” said Luke.
“Ah I see no problem then, we all know what your family is like so no worries take your time.” replied Rebecca and everyone else also nodded to show their approval to Luke.
“Thanks guys for understanding and see you in the evening then.” said Luke then he waved goodbye and left.
Then after Luke left the others also split into two groups one made of boys and the other of girls who went their own ways as well while waving goodbye and saying “See you all again in the evening”.
Then while the other two groups were enjoying their vacation doing what they wanted.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
In a random inn, Luke had entered the inn and went towards the receptionist's table where an old man with a beard was sitting while reading some papers.
“Hey, can I have the keys to room no.100?” asked Luke to the old man.
“Oh why do you need the keys young man?” asked the old man in return.
“It's because I need a bed with a red blanket in my room.” replied Luke to the old man which completed the secret passcode.
“Oh young master, it's good to see that you are in good health. Please come through this door if you would.” said the old man while getting up and pointing at a wall in the side which has now slowly turned into a door.
“It's nice to meet you as well, Sebastian. How have you been?” asked Luke while walking towards the door with the old man who was now slowly turning into a butler who was wearing a magician's hat and had a walking stick in his hands with each step and the transformation was completed by the time they reached the door which was when the butler replied.
“Oh I have been in excellent health as well and am once again serving as madam Ice heart's butler.” said the butler while opening the door and stepping through it.
Then as they stepped through the door the world around them changed in an instant and they arrived at the entrance of a grand mansion while the door closed and disappeared after they walked through it.
“Now young master please follow me if you would? Madam Ice Heart is expecting your presence.” said the butler while showing the way to Luke.
Then afterwards they entered the grand mansion and walked through quite a few magic doors before they finally arrived before the magic door leading to the room where Madam Ice heart was waiting.
“Here we are young master now, please enter Madam Ice heart is expecting you.”
Said the butler while opening the door for Luke through which after Luke entered the room while the butler stayed outside guarding the door after closing it.
There in the room there was a beautiful lady sitting by the fireplace on a rocking chair wearing a magician's robe with white ice-like hair.
“Hello mom, it's nice to meet you again.” said Luke with a face which showed clearly that he was hating every minute of this meeting.
“Well It's nice to meet you as well my dear son Luke Ice heart.” replied Luke's mom while putting emphasis on the word “Ice Heart”.
After hearing that Luke clearly frowned at the emphasis of the word “Ice Heart”.
“Mom, I am not an Ice heart. How many times do I have to tell this to you and dad for you to understand that fact.” said Luke with annoyance.
“Oh how can you say that you are not an Ice heart while being the seventh son of the main family. Truly what went wrong in your upbringing that you would actually deny your own family name like this.” said Luke's mom with sadness.
“Oh shut it with your drama and lies and just go to the point already. Why did you contact me?.” said Luke with increasing annoyance.
“Fine, the reason I called you today is because I have a task for you to do in the dungeon that you are currently challenging with your friends and you can't deny this one as a spirit king personally requested this.” said Luke's mom with a very serious face.
“Hmm fine, tell me the details and be quick as I have something to do in the evening.” said Luke after thinking for a while.
After finishing his meeting with his mother by evening he immediately left for the central plaza in Ashfall city.
After meeting back up with everyone else they didn't enquire about Luke's family meeting and they just shopped for the rest of the time which was left and then went back to the inn to rest and eat dinner and started preparing for the next day's dungeon dive.
Also as the night drew darker many gold ranked adventurer parties had started their journey to Ashfall city from throughout the entire earth domain's different regions.
