Chapter 183 Brief Moment
The bright moon hung high in the sky, shining down the world with its soft and gentle light.
The weather is great today and countless stars can be seen in the sky.
They are sparkling like the most precious gem known to man.
The people of Bokunat Village have finished preparing everything needed for the feast and gathered at the center of the village.
At this time, Alex, who's accompanied by the village head, along with the kids, walked towards a small platform that acts like a stage.
All the villagers' attention immediately focused on Alex when he appeared.
They all looked at him with bright expectant eyes that also filled respect and even a hint of worship.
Seeing it, Alex knows that this isn't just because he saved this village before.
From the way they are acting, it's very obvious that they've been affected by his high Charisma stats.
At this time, the village head stepped forward at the stage and looked at all th3 villagers below.
"Everyone," he said, instantly gathering the eyes of the people to him.
The village head continued, "Today, our savior has graced us with his presence. So, to express our gratitude, this feast was prepared in his name."
"Now, let our benefactor speak to us."
The people cheered and they turned their eyes back to Alex.
Alex was surprised a bit by this but jusy shook his head and replaced the village head in front of the stage.
He looked at the crowd for a while before opening his mouth.
Alex said, "Everyone, tonight we are gathered here to enjoy and have fun."
"I know that a lot of you have been through a lot specially the bandit attack from last time."
"So, tonight, have fun and release all your stress."
"Now, without further ado, let's start the feast!"
"Wooohooo!"
Along with the cheers of everyone, bottle of alcohol were opened.
Without hesitation, the villagers started the feast.
Seeing that, Alex looked at the village head and the kids, and said, "How about we go down there and join them?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, please head there and have some food, Savior."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Alex sighed, "Village head, please stop calling me savior savior. Just call me Zero."
Hearing that, the village head looked at Alex and seemed to want to argue.
But when he saw the serious look on Alex's face, he stopped.
After a few seconds, he gave up and said, "If that is what you want, then I'll follow you, Mr. Zero."
Alex smiled in satisfaction.
"Alright, then let's go there and eat as well."
Alex, Angelica and her brother, and the village head went to a table and sat down.
Seeing Alex, the villagers chatted with him from time to time before immediately leaving after seeing him eating.
Alex stood up and looked at the three members of Leonel family.
He said, "Mr. Borong, Miss Paula, and Miss Azul, thank you for the hospitality that you've shown us. It's about time we leave now."
Hearing that, Paula stood up as well and said, "Oh, you're leaving already? Don't you guys want to stay here for today?"
Alex shook his head, "Thank you for the offer but that would be inappropriate. Also, we're hurrying on this journey so we have to leave now."
"Is that so?" Said Azul, "Then it can't be helped. Please take care on your way. Visit us again when you have the time."
Alex smiled and nodded, "We will try to visit again next time. I want to taste that incredible food that Paula cooks after all."
Hearing that, Paula and Azul smiled.
At this time, Borong, who's still feeling weak, forced his body to stand up with hardship.
Hurriedly, Azul and Paula supported him.
"Dad, don't push yourself."
Borong waved his hand to stop them from speaking before turning his eyes to Alex.
Borong looked at Alex with a solemn face and with a rough voice, he said, "Mr. Zero, as my savior, if the time comes that you ever need my help, do not ever hesitate to ask me, I will come."
Hearing that, Alex nodded seriously, "I will, thank you, Mr. Borong."
Borong patted Alex on the shoulder before putting down his hand.
They said a few more things before Alex turned around and exited the hut along with Angelica and her brothers.
Outside the hut.
At this time, Ferri and Blaze are still reminiscing about the taste of the dragon meat that was fed to them earlier.
But when the door of the hut opened, the look on the faces of the two immediately became serious and acted like they are guarding the place.
Borong and his two daughters also followed until the door and watched Alex and his group leave.
While walking away, Alex was waving at them with a smile on his face.
Azul and Paula also waved back at him until he disappeared from their sight.
When Alex and his group can no longer be seen, Azul and Paula slowly put down their hands.
Sighing, Paula said, "Too bad, they have to leave already."
"Yeah, I thought they could stay for a while here with us." Seconded Azul, sighing as well.
Hearing their words, Borong just stared in the direction where Alex left for a few seconds before turning around and heading back inside the house.
Azul and Paula looked at each other with questions in their eyes and hurriedly followed Borong.
…
Alex, Blaze, and Ferri walked out of the forest with unhurried steps.
As for the kids, they are already sitting on Ferri's back while looking at the surrounding views.
While walking, Alex chatted with them to pass the time until they finally arrived back at the giant boulder from before.
After exiting the forest, Alex looked back and muttered, "I should come again next time. Then I should invite Paula to cook at Lucky Restaurant."
Alex imagined it and how popular the restaurant would become if it happens.
Subconsciously, the corner of his lips rose up.
A few seconds later, Alex shook his head and got rid of those thoughts.
"I should stop thinking of this. I still have to hurry up and finish everything here in the Alter Dimension."
"I really need to come back to Earth already because of school and other matters."
With that thought in mind, Alex started moving faster.
Since they are already out of the city, Alex doesn't plan to go back again.
Alex and his group just continued on their way towards Kupido Town.
Honestly, the journey was boring and uneventful.
The only source of entertainment were the monsters that come out from time to time only to get exterminated by either Ferri or Blaze.
As for Alex, he didn't really bother with them.
But from time to time, Alex also threw some magic spells at those monsters.
This way, Alex is still increasing his luck points in a leisurely manner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter another day of traveling, Alex and his team managed to arrive at Bato village.
When Alex entered the village, it immediately alerted everyone because of the two monsters following him.
The village hunters were the first that reacted and rushed at the village entrance.
They have serious faces and seem ready to go through a deadly fight when they arrive at the village entrance.
But when they saw Alex, their faces and a delighted expression covered their faces.
Without hesitation, one of them started shouting.
"The savior has come, our savior is in our village!"
When the other villagers heard that, everything went still for a second before everyone's doors and window opened at the same time.
Boom!
"Ahh! Savior, you're here!"
"The savior really came!"
"Savior!"
…
Everyone came out of their houses and talked to Alex with excitement.
The look on their faces are similar to those people who meet their favorite idol/artist in person after only staring at them on the screen in the past.
Anyway, they are like those 'zombies' in Alex's opinion.
But seeing the delighted smile on their faces that shows how glad they are to see him, Alex can't help but also become happy.
Alex put on a gentle smile on his face and waved at them.
"Hello, everyone!"
When the villagers saw that, they were stunned for a moment before they became more excited.
In the past, when Alex first came to this village, he had a strong killing intent surrounding him because he just caused a slaughter at that time.
That's why, back then, the villagers honestly felt fearful of Alex.
At the same time, they viewed him as a cold person who never smiles.
But because of their gratitude to him, everyone's attitude today was amiable and they all came out to greet him.
However, never in their imagination did they think that Alex would actually talk to them with a smile!
This is the reason why everyone can't help but become more excited.
Anyway, everyone tried to talk to Alex and it started to become a bit overwhelming.
