TOFD 484

Lucky 484

"Awoga Awoga!"

Calix looked at the glaring tribesmen. They believed that Calix was an enemy. An enemy who would steal them from the hunt they acquired. 

"Hey, guys. Don't you think you have to thank me instead? I killed the worm!"

"We don't know what you're talking about!"

The tribesmen roared. They threw a spear at him, believing that he said something dangerous. 

Some of them were TA Users who could summon the element of Earth and create boulders or rocks and throw them at Calix. 

"Ah, I forgot. Unlike the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent had many languages and it's hard to converse with them."

He chuckled, realizing his mistake. Perhaps the heat was making him stupid. 

With the help of the monocle attached to his left eye, he deduced that the tribesmen were mostly good people. The baddest of them only had a dark orange aura. Because of that, Calix believed that they were trying to scare him. 

As expected, the spears and rock didn't hit him. Perhaps the tribesmen controlled their aim, or perhaps Calix was just lucky and dodged their attacks. 

'I can sense their dislike but it's not frightening.'

The weapon in his hand was already gone, it returned to being a keychain. 

On top of that, Calix turned on the auto-translate that Kimberly embedded in his battlesuit. It could translate every language that was recorded in the past hundred years. 

'Sometimes, I'm amazed at Kimberly's ability.'

"I. Come. In. Peace."

Because the translation was a bit rough, it sounded like a robot speaking. 

The tribesmen stopped at their feet and looked at each other. They frowned. 

Then, their gazes focused on Calix who was trying his best not to look like a dangerous person. 

"You speak like a stupid person!"

One of the tribesmen roared. 

"..."

Calix didn't know what to say. The translation was not perfect. If he speaks fast, the translation might be wrong. 

'But when they speak, it's translated really good.'

Suddenly, one of them approached him with a spear. She was a girl... A small girl who was only 4'11 feet. She was short as fuck. 

"Where are you from?"

The girl could speak the language of the Eastern Continent. Although her accent was a bit awkward to hear. 

Anyway, Calix was already happy that someone could understand him. He didn't have to use the translation anymore. 

"I'm from Dellia, little girl--"

The woman swung her spear and Calix instinctively dodged. Then, a sharp rock protruded in his spot. 

'I thought I was standing on a sand? Where did this spear-like rock come from?'

Thankfully, his battlesuit was tough and the damage he suffered was miniscule. 

"I'm not a girl. I'm an adult woman. I'm the leader of the tribe! The Datu Azim!"

"Excuse me?"

He was stunned. He seriously stared at the "small girl"... He could not find any proof that she was an adult woman. Because in the first place, she looked like a 13-year-old girl at best!

'How the hell can I believe you!?'

He narrowed his eyes. 

"I see you don't believe me! Then!"

Suddenly, the sharp rock that hit him turned into fine sand and surrounded Calix. 

Calix became alert, sensing that the elevating sand was not simple. 

"Have you heard of a girl becoming a 2nd Advanced TA User? In the first place, a person can only acquire his Term Attribute once he's fifteen. So I tell you this, I'm not a little girl."

"... Alright. I apologize. My eyes were deceived. I didn't notice the Mount Tai!"

"Humph!"

The 'woman' scoffed before checking Calix's appearance. 

"You're clearly not from hear. Even your battlesuit looks expensive. This is not a place for someone like you, I advise you to leave."

Datu Azim was confused about how a rich person like Calix reached this place. This was Vias, the desert country where wild animals and wild Aberration roam around. 

The northern part of the Vias was the Wasted Tundra. The Aberrants came from the Wasted Tundra because that place was corrupted. As for the eastern part of Vias was a huge lake of Humble Bank. It was a very huge lake, almost like an ocean. This lake was located in the middle of the Western Continent, their main source of water and food. 

For a man like Calix, he has to travel thousands of kilometers to reach this place. Using a boat was dangerous because of the water-type Aberrants and flying car was not an option either. 

'Either he traveled through land, or he used a teleportation device.'

Datu Azim was not stupid. She had experienced many things in life. In fact, she was 37 years old!

Calix Romoel, the man in front of her, Datu Azim knew that he was not simple. 

"Well, I'm actually looking for the Floating Castle. I heard the current location of that Castle was in Vias. Perhaps you can help me find it?"

"Stranger, it's already a miracle that we gave you a chance to leave. We are not merciful. The floating Castle always moves around, it was four months ago when it went to this place."

"I see... Thanks then."

Calix didn't have a choice but to leave. The tribesmen were vigilant as they watched Calix walking away. Their instinct was sharpened in the wilderness. They deemed Calix Romoel a dangerous person. 

They knew that if a battle happened, many of them would die if they faced him. 

"Datu..."

"Let's leave now. I know we should have killed him but we can't afford to do that right now. Our tribe needs us. If more people died, then our tribe would collapse. Let's take the hunt back to the tribe!"

"Awoga Awoga!"
