For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 81

The other part of the treasury looked like what people would find in a legendary Mausoleum. A long spacious hall with countless piles of gold, gems, jewels and other types of treasures. Lennox laid on one of the piles, feeling depressed for not being allowed to eat that pair of divine eyes.

It can't be helped, those cool things don't belong to him, and the owner wasn't around to make a fair deal with him. Of course, Lennox would never commit such a disgrace as theft. If you wanted something, you should obtain it fairly by all means. For example, killing the owner then taking over his belongings is something acceptable, but stealing is definitely shameful and out of line.

That's how Lennox's brain works.

" does the general own a treasury with things similar to the ones in the other room? "

If the younger one is out of reach, then perhaps the older one might also have something as worthy as these. Everly answered as she rummaged through one of the large chests.

" he does have a treasury, but most of it are weapons, monsters, and some weird stuff "

" weapons, ha? I can't use them but I will still take a look, might as well chose something for the guys "

Everly who got distracted from her search, and now was randomly exploring the things that look fun, asked without looking back.

" why? I heard from the maids that you only use your purple sword, never used any other weapons "

" it's a gift from the old man. I don't usually accept any sweeteners but at that time, I had no choice "

Although Everly did not understand what this had to do with that, she stayed quiet. Wearing a golden helmet she found a moment ago, Everly continued examining whatever stumbled into her hands while Lennox idly laid in the back.

' this place kind of reminds me of my bedroom when I was alive '

His mind drowned in past memories. The sensation of the hard gold underneath him, the smell of dusty air in the room and an annoying brat bothering him. Lennox felt as if he has returned to his old days.

Dazed between reality and hallucination, Lennox subconsciously grabbed a gem -the size of his fist- and bit it. Outwardly mumbling to himself.

" Sapphire, get out. You are fucking annoying "

-crunch

Hearing that sound, Everly turned around to see Lennox munching on a gem as if it was some type of hard cookie. Blood rushed through her head, the next moment, she was on the air above him.

Clink, clink, clink.

Everly jumped on Lennox, causing both of them to roll down the pile of gold to the ground. Gold coins poured on them like hail, almost burying them under. Once the chaos calmed a bit, Everly who was laying atop Lennox, slowly raised her torso, making the coins above her slide down with noises. She warped Lennox's neck, choking him with her bare hands as she aggressively shouted.

"WHY ARE YOU EATING ROCKS NOW?!!!! ARE YOU PLANNING IN EATING ROTTEN CORPSES NEXT?!! YOU WILL DIE, NASTY LENNOX!! "

" IF SOMETHING IS GONNA KILL ME, THEN IT'LL ONLY BE YOU!!! *cough YOU CRAZY BITCH, LET GO!! "

Everly's fingers almost went numb from how ice-cold Lennox's skin was. She released his neck and yanked his collar instead.

" I AM GOING TO TELL HIS MAJESTY! I AM GOING TO TELL MS RACHEL THAT YOU EAT GARBAGE AND DUSTY ROCKS!! "

" FUCKING TELL THEM! I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!! "

After being choked and shouting his lungs out, Lennox paused to fix his breathing. Everly straightened her back and sat on his abdomen, she barely weighed anything so Lennox just let her be. Arms crossed, eyes narrowed at the boy under her, Everly said puffing her cheeks.

" Seriously, why do Lennox eat everything he sees? "

" you are what you eat, never heard of it? "

His tone sounded annoyed as he said that, but he became even more pissed off hearing Everly's question. She tilted her head, looking bewildered.

" Does that mean Lennox wants to be a trash person? "

Veins popped on Lennox's forehead. His left brow twitched as he formed a threatening smile. Normally, at this point, people would start begging for dear life. Everly, on the other hand, can only see Lennox acting weird.

' patience, Shianl. PATIENCE. You can't kill a Love, god will curse you to an endless misery. Calm down, be P.A.T.I.E.N.T '

" no, you dumbass. I can absorb the forming force of any being, so I won't die "

Everly blinked twice. Naturally, she did not understand anything. Lennox sighed, he rose from the ground, automatically shifting Everly into his lap. Their structures weren't much different, however, Everly weight was lesser. Way too lighter than how she should be.

' Does she have bird bones or something? I gotta fatten her up '

Everly waited patiently for him to explain with eyes burning in curiosity. Seeing her dumb expression, Lennox sighed again.

" You see Maitea, everything in this world is made out of a certain power, right? "

Everly nodded.

" let's take an example. Plants are formed from Gaia. When I eat them, I absorb Gaia Breath, not the vitamins and nutrients like you, mortals. The same goes when I feast on a human or any type of creatures with life force, I consume their life force, mana or demonic energy"

" so you eat people? "

" Yes, I eat people "

"...."

" ? "

" Raw? "

" Raw "

Everly stared at him, and he stared back. Both staring at each other in silence. After a while of stillness, Everly spoke again.

" Then why did you eat that shiny rock? It's not alive "

" gems are formed under great pressure and extremely high temperatures. It is expected that it will carry a decent amount of energy, let's say an enjoyable snack "

" if you eat rocks, do you poop soil? "

Lennox's face cracked down. He closed his eyes and thought of all the annoying troubles he will have to deal with if he killed this brat here. He swallowed his anger before reopening his eyes. With a considerable force, Lennox smacked Everly on the back of her head, scolding.

" Who the fuck shits soil??!!! Do I look like a worm to you?!! "

" Why are you hitting Everly?! "

Even with her whining, Lennox still kicked her off his lap and urged her to quickly find what they came here for. He still had his stuff to do too.
