BXBX NOVEL Chapter 700 Legend (2)
“I guess your first leader was as handsome as me, then,” Billy said.
“I wasn’t talking about that…” Totaic said and then frowned. “Regardless, thanks to your and your friends’ hard work, many tribes avoided being destroyed. So, we are willing to cooperate with you. Still, I want to hear more about the situation since I find it weird that the smell of trouble still is in the air when the perpetrator of the attacks was defeated.”
“Fair enough,” Billy said.
Although he was tired of explaining the same thing over and over again to many people, there wasn’t much that Billy could do to prevent that. Even more so when the tribesmen there barely communicated with their visitors.
“Hmm… this is all so much hard to believe,” Totaic said. “We barely started to communicate with others thanks to Lily, and now you tell something like other worlds like this… It is really hard to believe.”
“Billy, show him that, the thing to see other worlds,” Lily said.
“I left at home… but I can make a new one, I guess,” Billy said. “Still, it will be better if we wait until night.”
Billy began to work on the Telescope, but he did it slowly since he had to make it bigger in order to make everyone realize that he was telling the truth. There were other planets out there with people on them as well, and some of them were planning to come and attack them.
It didn’t take long for the night to come, and the Telescope got ready. Since it was a weird and big object, everyone felt weird and was cautious about getting close. Still, things changed a bit when Billy’s friends began to use it and then saw other planets in the distance. They were left speechless…
“Can we see from here the planet that you were sent to?” Kate asked.
“I can try to find it, but it will be hard to see anything since that world was covered in dark clouds…” Billy said.
It took a while, but the number of planets that he could see with a telescope of that level was limited. They found it and then confirmed what Billy said… it truly looked like a dead world. Eventually, Totaic decided to check things on the Telescope, and then he saw the other worlds. Some of them were similar to theirs… but there were no signs of human life.
Billy’s kids followed after Totaic, and he took some time to recover from the shock. Billy wondered if he should push him a bit more and tell some of the truth… it would be hard, but that might help them.
“I believe that the enemy might have caused the fall of your first leader,” Billy said. “I know it is convenient of me to say this now, but Uvish is someone who would use anyone to reach his goals. Moreover, he might have targeted him for his powers.”
“… Legends say that those who have too much in this world are destined to fight each other,” Totaic said. “We have a saying that apparently was something our first leader concluded… In this world, we aren’t supposed to live for long. No matter how much we fight and try, we are destined to face the same end much sooner than others. All of us assumed that he was talking about our tribes as a whole, but it seems that he was talking about others like him.”
From Billy’s perspective, their first leader said too much. Only a moron would almost mention the existence of other worlds to people that still lived a tribal life who known how many years ago… still, at least those words made Totaic and his people think a little about the situation.
Since they didn’t have houses for visitants, Billy ended up making one with Earth magic, which puzzled the tribesmen since it appeared too fast and it was big. In any case, they took their camping gear from the vehicle and then went to sleep. The next day during breakfast, Totaic made his decision.
“As the leader of this tribe, I decided to work with you all if you promise that others won’t invade our lands,” Totaic said. “However, the other tribes won’t be that understanding, and sometimes you will have to use brute strength and make them understand with your fists.”
“Well, if there is no other choice…” Billy said and then shrugged. “Putting aside, are you having problems with enemies attacking your tribes? I thought the lands at the south are almost free of people and the guys in the North aren’t like that.”
“Yes, after they lost their leader a few years ago, the people of that state moved further south to recover and build a good relationship with the samurai,” Totaic said. “However, some wicked individuals stayed behind, and now and then they attack, kill our people and then enslave the kids.”
“You didn’t tell me that before…” Lily said.
“You already had too much in your hands, and the bandits had stopped during that time,” Totaic replied. “Now they returned at full power.”
“I thought that Lucyna had dealt with the commerce of slaves… I suppose she did not kill all the nobles then. Can you guys deal with that? I will move around and convince the other tribes to train with us. Meanwhile, Dad, mom, Lucy, Leo, Nikola, and Edward should look after the kids and start training the people of the tribe.”
