The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 149: Viktor’s Vacation part 4
Chapter 149: Viktor's Vacation part 4
E2 is a planet where people's average age is not more than 40 years. Due to the extreme environment and lack of proper nutritious meals, people have a lower life expectancy and had adapt to weird body features.
Viktor and Adonis, who came from another planet, weren't affected by the extreme environment. The oxygen level wasn't the same as on Earth and clean water was considered a luxury. It wasn't a planet where a normal human could actually live but since they weren't even humans, they weren't affected by anything.
They were just enjoying the empty grassland and the junk red sea.
Viktor looked at the small slum and asked Mizi, "When was the last time you saw your brother in this town?"
"7 years ago. I promised him that I'll come back one day."
"Looks like your wish came true. Let's go and see the town."
But Mizi hesitated to walk inside the town. She was happy to come back after so many years but she still vividly remembered how the villager treated him. Because of her mistake, so many people died by AI 7 years ago.
Viktor knew what her story was so he left her alone in front of the town gate and moved forward with Adonis. A gatekeeper noticed them and blocked them with his electric gun made from junk. He spits a grass out of his mouth and aggressively asked, "Who are you? You don't look like you're from this country. Why the hell are you so tall?"
The man then looked at Adonis and became astonished. He failed to comprehend his beauty so he zoned out and started to drool.
He was charmed by his beauty even though Adonis didn't use any charm magic.
"We're not from here. But we're here to visit the village leader. Is that possible?" Adonis asked the man with a bright smile.
The man quickly came back to reality and said, "Yes. Of course. Please come in. I'll quickly inform the guards. He'll show you the way."
Both of them went inside and on their way in, Adonis threw a small cherry at that man. He winked at him and said, "Eat it. It's sweet."
'Is he flirting with him-_-?'
Viktor glanced at Adonis to read his body language and what he saw made him left speechless.
'Why are you targeting him as your food? Is he that appetizing?'
Viktor sighed and said to him that he wouldn't eat any human on this planet. They were almost on the verge of extinction.
The two of them followed the dirty path to the centre of the town and there, they finally spotted the guard that the gatekeeper talked about. The guard was also taken aback by their beauty for a minute and finally came back to reality.
"Ahem…! I am Lio. The guard of this village leader. I just received a message from the gatekeeper. He said that you two are from different country. Honesty speaking, it's our first time treating a visitor so please make yourself at home despite our poor hospitality. The leader is waiting for you at his house. Please follow me."
Viktor smiled at that man and then shook his hand. He wasn't aware of Viktor's greeting so he thought he was going to attack him. But for some reason, he couldn't move or speak when he got a handshake so it made him a little confused.
After that, they followed that man and entered a small hut. The hut wasn't small compared to the other huts but it was so small for Adonis. He wasn't comfortable at all in that small place but for his master, he held his expression and became patient.
The village leader came out of his room with a golden cane.
"Hello visitors, I am Grey Norkar. I am the leader of this Accel village."
Viktor smiled at that man and said, "I am Viktor E. North."
"I'm Adonis North."
The village leader smiled a little and asked, "Oh… you're brothers. It's my first time seeing a person with realistic robot limbs. I bet you're from a wealthy family. Are you related to the king? I'm really curious about your identity. What brings you here?"
Viktor felt the guns pointing at them from 8 directions. They were hiding behind the heavy curtain but nothing could hide from his eyes. He knew their appearance in that town was really suspicious but he had no choice.
He wanted to see what kind of people they were and to rescue Mizi's brother.
According to Mizi's beliefs, his brother was still in the town because he was the next village leader. But he was an adventurous junkie and often ran away from home to travel the junk sea to find lost, thrown-away machines that could be useful to upgrade his home.
But Viktor knew where he was. He was right above his head hiding beside the ceiling woods. He was appraising Viktor and Adonis's outfit, robot limbs and their unique eyes. He was deeply interested in their arms because he couldn't figure out which one of them was prosthetic and which one was real.
Viktor then said, "We're not related to the king or anyone from this country. Like I said before, we are from earth and we're just here to travel. Adonis, give the wine to the host. It's not appropriate to talk with the host before giving him a welcoming gift."
Adonis nodded his head and took out a wine bottle from his bag. "Here. It's a wine that my brother made from apples. He made it after studying about your physical condition."
"What's this?" The man asked.
"It's something that makes people dizzy but feels so good after drinking."
"Oh… you mean Oki? And where did you get an apple? Isn't that supposed to be a lost plant?"
"My master has his ways to collect things."
The host took the bottle but he hesitated to drink it. So he put it away and said, "You look so different from any other people from this country. Not to mention, the haircolor of Mr Viktor is so peculiar. Is that natural?"
"Yes. It's natural white-_-."
"You look like an old man with a baby face."
"You're hurting my pride-_-."
The man laughed and said, "So tell me. What is your main objective to visit this town? Wealthy men like you definitely have something going on in your mind."
At that moment, a man forcefully opened the door and threw a girl on the table. The glass of that table shattered into bits and she became stuck inside it.
It was Mizi but tied with electric wires around her. She was caught by the gatekeeper.
"Leader, I found this bitch trying to get inside the territory."
The eyes of the leader reached his forehead and said, "Finally!! I finally found you!! Where have you been? Ha? It's been nearly 3 years since you stopped sending money from the castle!! Did you forget what you have done to this village? Why did you come back here without my permission!!"
The girl was paralyzed from the electric shock so she was pretty much unable to speak. But she was widely glaring at Viktor, hoping for some help.
Her brother who was hiding in the ceiling gaps ran out of there and broke into the room to save her. He was terrified to see her in that horrible state. "Let her go!! Let her go, you bastards!!!"
"Shut up!!!"
Viktor finally screamed after listening to everyone's shit and again said, "If you want to live, shut it and sit down on the floor. I will resolve everything here."
His voice was so loud and scary that everyone in the room sat on the floor without any complaints. He then destroyed the eclectic wire around Mizi's body and asked, "What do you want to do?"
She started to tremble in fear because of his horrifying expression. But her spirit was so high that she said, "I want to live with my brother peacefully away from these people."
Viktor then looked at her brother and said, "What's your opinion?"
He simply nodded his head and ran closer to her. He quickly hugged her and started to cry. Viktor then said, "Are you still going to pray to that god to take you to earth?"
"Yes. I want to believe… I want to believe it because you two look so happy. I want to be happy too."
He smiled and said, That's settled then. Don't forget that you offered half of your soul as a payment."
"That is something that God will think about."
Viktor laughed and said, "Okay then. But remember something. Once you're on earth, all the memories about E2 will be erased. You will no longer remember anything about this neighbour or anything. But you'll remember that a god bought you here with your brother. You will remember the hardship you've been through but not the place. All of your memories will be replaced by some randomly generated memory magic."
"You sound as if you're the god. But even if that's true. I don't have any problem."
Viktor smiled and suddenly teleported onto an empty field with everyone. Both of them were surprised but they suddenly became tired. They didn't have any mana so it affected them a little bit. "Don't worry. You don't have to endure this pain anymore. Adonis, destroy his prosthetic arm and give Mizi's arm to me. Put them to sleep and don't wake them up until they regenerate their arm back with the help of a potion."
"What about the prize that you talked about, master?"
"I already took it. Half of her soul is already secured inside a mana stone."
"Then, I will take both of them inside my dimension room."
"Yes. Do as you wish. I'll check them after we go back to earth."
The moment Adonis entered his room with the two kids, Viktor vanished from the spot and came back with a pair of lady's shoes in his hands. It only took him 3 minutes to finish his job so Adonis was still inside the room.
'Hehehe… hehe.. I caught a bigger fish today..'
Viktor couldn't stop his laughter so slapped his face and said, 'Calm down, you psycho-_-. It's just a fragment…it's just a fragment that can give you tickets to the past or the future..hehe..heh…It's just a fragment..'
The fragment he just hunted was the fragment of the guardian of time. He couldn't understand whether he was lucky or it was just a coincidence. But the fact that he devoured the fragment of time made him loose a screw in excitement.
He was speechless at last after giggling for some minute.
