Chapter 8 Hello Timouy
The planet where Aldred and his family currently reside was called Penanterra. It was a huge planet with powerful magical laws. This meant that anyone could use magic and powerful martial arts. Although the majority of people didn’t have the talent to develop it to greatness.
Most of them stayed mediocre and did odd jobs, while those who succeeded joined the army, became adventurers, joined guilds or served under a noble.
This world only had three moons. Apparently, the countless moons that he saw a few years ago were just illusions made by his father. He said that he could pull some moons from other planets, but Aldred didn’t let him. He was afraid that it would disturb the planet’s gravity.
The three moons were very large and they had a distinctive color on their own. They were starry blue, dusty yellow, and bright red respectively.
They currently were in a fairly large town called Timouy. It was located near the coastal line, southeast of the Ceraisian Empire.
The one they saw fighting earlier was this Empire against another powerful state called: the Holy State of Montcresia. Just by hearing its name, Aldred knew it was a super religious state that controlled its citizens through the bible and the word of gods.-.
And unlike back on earth, these gods existed in this world. They just didn’t intervene directly so as to not disrupt the stability of this planet. His father didn’t have this restriction, if Hujarar wished to destroy this planet, then he could do it with a snap of his finger.
It was unfathomable how powerful he truly was. Aldred hoped he could reach his strength someday, and with the blessing of the hundred gods, he believed he could do it.
As the three of them arrived near the town, Aldred noticed a wide expanse of farmland. Some farmers tend to their crops, bending their backs as they plant the seeds.
Aldred walked with his father and mother on a small road as he looked around. Fresh morning air breezed through the golden wheat, ready to be harvested and processed.
They entered through the south gate with four guards in iron armor guarding the gate. There were more guards on top of the wall, but they leisurely sat around and played cards with each other. The war was too far away from them, so the soldiers here didn’t have to worry about anything.
Still, this small town still had to be protected with a lot of guards because it was near the sea, although it wasn’t a port town, an enemy might land their ship nearby, storm the town, take it over, and use it as the spearhead for the enemy.
Aldred shook his head. As a four-year-old, he shouldn’t be thinking about the possible scenarios that might happen to this kingdom, instead, he should focus on having fun.
The three of them entered the market district. It was filled with people, but Aldred saw that the people didn’t seem to notice them, yet they walked to the side to give them way. It was like both his mother and father exuded an invisible yet impenetrable aura.
Aldred saw a candy with the shape of a dragon and immediately took interest. “Father, I want candy.”
“You want some candy?” Hujarar raised his finger which made Aldred float into his arms.
He then went to one of the stalls that sold candies and asked him: “Which one do you want?”
Aldred pointed at the candy he wanted. It was red in color with a dragon shape expanding its wings about to fly in the sky.
“Such a charming boy.” The seller said. He was an old man in his seventies with a white beard. “I also have a young boy like you. Sadly, he’s very sick and couldn’t walk around.”
The old man sighed in sadness. “If I could pay a doctor or a healer to heal his wound, he won’t have to suffer.” He sobbed in tears.
Hujarar grabbed the candy that Aldred wanted and threw a small crystal on the table. “Will that be enough?”
The old man was confused at first as to why he was paid with a crystal, but then he was shocked. “This is…. This is an Eternal quality mana crystal!”
The old man looked up at his father. “Young man, are you sure you want to give me this?”
Aldred laughed inside for this old man calling his father ‘young’. He might look young but he had lived for millenniums already.
“It’s just a rock.”
The old man almost got a heart attack by that comment. The thing that he called a rock was an Eternal quality mana crystal, the highest quality of all, beyond Mythical and Supreme. It was said that the Eternal mana crystal contained unlimited power and energy, but its most important property was to strengthen the holder and improve their talent!
He knew this from the numerous fairy tales and stories. Most of these stories had their heroes obtaining an Eternal mana crystal and rising to the top.
This meant that his grandchild could walk and be healthy again, and possibly become a powerful man in the future! The old man exited his stall and groveled on the ground. “Thank you!” Tears wetted the ground.
Hujarar and Eve ignored the old man and walked past him. Aldred followed as he turned around to take one last look at the old man.
In addition to improving talent and strengthening their body, the crystal had a vast amount of mana within and the holder could absorb the mana inside at any time. This meant that the holder would have unlimited mana to cast spells.
If his father could give away such a powerful item to a stranger so easily, he could give him something much better later on. Aldred laughed inside. He couldn’t wait for that day to come.
Aldred had a lot of fun with his parents. They saw the unique culture of the village which involved picking a random virgin woman from the street, tying her up to a pole, throwing her eggs, and then cleaning the eggs on her body by licking them.
Aldred was speechless at first, but he shouldn’t judge their culture. As long as it didn’t happen to his mother or his sister, he was fine with it.
The men wiped their mouths and turned around. When their eyes caught the sight of Eve, they twinkled like stars and pointed. “Look! A virgin woman! Catch her!”
Aldred shook his head. He knew this won’t end well.
