The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 90: Navaka

There are countless reasons why Viktor erased his existence from everyone's memory. First of all, he is a guardian that lives thousands of years. If he grows emotions towards a normal human, this will become an obstacle to his path.

Second, humans will try to beg him to teach him various things that are harmful to humankind. A guardian can't pass down his magic to a human no matter what. Because it will ruin the normal flow of human life.

And the third one is to make a baby. A guardian is able to make babies with a normal human. But if that happens, the guardian will lose a big portion of his guardian fragment and the baby will become half.

The cruellest thing humans did was to kill that baby and drink its blood to obtain power and immortality. This is the common case between those who lived with a human and lost both their partner and the baby.

That's why guardians don't live with humans now.

Well, it's a good thing that I don't have any weaknesses for any person. My love life kicked my life when I was only 18. So, it's really impossible for me to fall for a girl who's thousands of years younger than me. Falling for someone will be considered the most perverted thing I've done in my life.

The country where Viktor came was called Navaka. It was famous for technology and steam engines. The place he used to live before wasn't a part of another organization so they didn't supply any goods.

Viktor looked outside from the coffee shop and saw the young girls standing at the station to catch the train. They were carrying colourful umbrellas even though the day wasn't sunny at all. At that moment, the train blew its whistle while moving forward to the compartment. The white steam from the engine spread around the compartment and stopped to load goods and the passenger.

Viktor wore his white hat and said," Adonis, let's go. The train will leave at 10."

Adonis finished his cup of coffee and walked towards the train with Viktor. They were strong enough to fly from country to country, but Viktor wanted Adonis to experience the train journey.

Adonis was also excited to be on a train for the first time.

Their seat was in a first-class cabin, so it was nearly empty. But the cabin Viktor went already had a person in.

He looks like a noble. But why is he holding onto that suitcase?

Viktor took a seat in front of him and took off his hat to fix his hair.

It's been a long time since I came out. After I left Vestrain, I visited thirty kingdoms to collect more than twenty guardian fragments. They were all powerless but important. It took me nearly 3 years to sniff it out. And now, I have two more to collect.

There weren't many fragments left on the planet that Viktor was staying on. He already collected more than one hundred fragments and they made his core more powerful. But there were only two missing from his lift. It was the fragment of the guardian of the dark, and the guardian of the dragon.

But the problem was this…

Those guardians were still alive.

"Master, would you like a piece of honey cake?" Adonis bought an expensive cake for him from the coffee shop because it caught his eye. So, he offered a piece to Viktor. He looked at the cake and said, "Is it tasty?"

"I don't know master. But I heard some ladies were talking about how tasty it was, so I bought it."

The stranger looked at the cake and broke into their conversation to say, "That cake is 5 gold."

But Viktor didn't have any expression on his face after hearing that. So he took a bite and said, "It's good. Not a waste of money at all."

The train started to move forward smoothly and Viktor felt peace after a long time. So he ignored the man's curiosity and said, "Adonis, this is what I meant when I said comfortable in transportation."

"I can finally understand you master. Carriages are really shaky."

The man put his suitcase on the seat and said, "You gentlemen look very handsome. Are you from a noble family?"

Adonis finished his cake in one bite and said, "Yes we are. But why are you asking us questions? Do we know you?"

"Ah! No, no. I was just curious because you two look extremely handsome."

Meanwhile, Viktor was busy reading the strangers' records and found something odd. There was something odd inside his suitcase related to the guardian of dragons.

So he asked, "Is there something important in your suitcase, mister? You look so protective over your belongings."

The man held his suitcase and said, "You don't have to be concerned about it."

But the man's behaviour looked so suspicious.

"I am just showing you what it feels like to be picking on a stranger's personal life. I think you've learned your lesson."

The aura inside the cabin became dense.

That thing he is carrying the healing potion. And surprisingly, the dragon guardian needs it to heal his wounds. Is he sick or something? I can't get inside his record because I don't know his name. Moreover, he was kicked out of the guardian realm because he did something awful. For that reason, there isn't anyone who knows him better.

I need to look for this guardian. Should I follow this man?

The journey wasn't too long so they reached the capital city in just an hour. So they got off the train and hired a taxi that looked like something from the 1800 era. It was the time when people just stopped using horses and moved onto the engine. The taxi looked like a carriage but it was only the horse which was missing. So, it became a new experience for Adonis.

The city was busy as ever. There were 10th-story tall buildings with colourful signs, the road was jammed with cars and the knights were working as traffic police to control the traffic. It was an era where magic and technology both were developing together.

Adonis looked outside through the window and said, "Master, where are we heading?"

"We're going to the central plaza."

Viktor turned the page of the printed newspaper and pointed his finger at an article, "Look, we're going to stay the whole month in this house for a year. The rent is also reasonable."

"Master. Is this what you call an apartment?"

"Yes. It's an apartment. It's so small but we will get used to it."

The taxi pulled over in front of a huge building and both of them got off to take the keys from the receptionist. It looked more like a hotel than an apartment complex.

Surprisingly, there was also an elevator and it became Adonis's new experience.

The apparent was small but advanced from where he used to live. But everything was made based on mana. The lights run on the mana, the fan, and even the washing machine's power source was mana stone.

Every building has a mana stone like a battery and people pay mana bills instead of electricity bills every month. It was ordinary for Viktor to see electric appliances inside his house but it was a new world for Adonis.

The most shocking thing was the washing machine that washes clothes.

"Master! Are you sure it will wash clothes better than any person"

"Yes. Just put those dirty clothes inside. You don't want to raise the water bill, right?"

Hah! This is going to be more confusing for him to understand what a smartphone is. I should teach him beforehand, right?

Adonis opened the balcony door and walked outside to see the view. The city was filled with tall buildings that stretched to the horizon. He whiteness a scenery that he never thought he could enjoy in his life and yet he's staying in a tall building that stands high in the sky.

So, he laughed and said, I wonder how long it will take them to develop and fill the city with blue dazzling lights at night. I bet that secrecy will be spectacular.

The night came down and the city lit up the yellow mana stone lights on both sides of the street. The building windows were also lightened up with faint yellow lights so Viktor felt satisfaction inside his heart.

At least they can make this view at night. It's like I'm living in old London back in 18t century. Not bad.

"Master, the dinner is ready."

Adonis was so curious about the city and the food shops. So Viktor gave him some gold coins to buy whatever he wanted but instead, he bought dinner from the local shop to eat with his master. Surprisingly, it was the famous yet old meal called fish and chips.

"You sure know how to hunt great food."

"It's the instinct of a demon, master."

"Do you like the city?"

Adonis looked at Viktor with puppy eyes and said, "Master! It's like I'm in a dream. I still can't believe that I'm living in real life. But I'm curious, master. How advanced was your world?"

"Hahah! It was more advanced than this world where people visited the moon."

He became speechless.
