Chapter 619: VV4, 13 - Where Ancients Live

VV4, 13 - Where Ancients Live

D.Black:

I think you should go with the magic metal idea. Theres a village, leftover from the necromancer expansion, that has a magic metal used for communicating with the gods. It would likely be very useful for your new companion.

Superfan39526:

I dont know. Seems kind of derivative.

D.Black:

Think of it this way. Rough appears at the small village, demands the metal. The villagers ask why, and he just says, Imma eat it.

Dylan snorted.

Superfan39526:

Alright, youve convinced me.

So, what did our resident know-it-all say? Jack asked.

Dylan turned. Theres a village nearby that has some leftover magic metal from the whole necromancer expansion, Dylan said. Dextra suggests taking that because the village would be like, why do you want our precious item? And Rough gets to say, Imma eat it.

Oro chuckled. Okay, that sounds great. Lets do it.

Heck yeah, dudes! Riptide laughed. Time to eat some dirt!Fôllôw new stories at novel35.com

Sweet Dream just shook her head.

So, where is this village? Jack asked.

Dylan looked back at his messages, clicking the map point Dextra had sent. Somewhere in the wilderness, past the city of Cartis.

How close can we teleport? Oro asked.

With Skylines tech, probably right outside the city at this point, Jack said. Of course, thats only if they dont have some kind of blocker in place.

A small town like that? What are the odds? Sweet Dream asked.

Oro and Dylan made a face.

Dylan looked at his friend. You do realize youve jinxed us, right?

Yeah, Oro said. Now the odds are going to be 100%.

Everyone knows that when you say something like, what are the odds, you incur the wrath of probability, Dylan continued.

Thus making it happen, Oro finished.

Sweet Dream rolled her eyes. Nerds.

But wouldnt explaining things lower the odds again? Jack asked. To keep you on your toes.

I dont ascribe to that notion, Dylan said, standing. Once the words are spoken, reality is altered.

The rest stood as well, following Dylan to the teleporters.

So, what happens if youre wrong? Jack asked.

Yes, yes, the villain said. Enough with the pleasantries. I need you to take control of our lizard friend there.

The bot nodded. It flew over, placing itself squarely atop the dinosaurs head and settling in with a wiggle. From there, the technology inside activated, taking control of the dinosaur. With a beep, the hatbot hat the monster kneel.

Voila! Transportation! Dr. Zlo said with a flourish.

Impressive, Jacks character said.

Its nothing much, Dr. Zlo answered. Just another consequence of my genius!

Right, right, Rough grumbled. Lead the way already.

Dr. Zlo huffed, jumping atop the dinosaur. He held a hand out to Jack. She took it, hauling herself over to sit behind Dr. Zlo. Rough came next while Sweet Dream was picked up by Riptide. They set off, the beast breaking throughy the foliage to reach their destination.

It occurs to me that I never got your name, Dr. Zlo said to Jacks character after a moment.

Panama Panakos, the assassin said. People call me Pan-Pan.

What, like pancakes? Riptide asked as he flew alongside.

Like the emergency word, Pan-Pan sniffed. Mayday was already taken.

Whatever the case, I hope your skills are up for this, Rough said.

Ive never met an equal, Pan-Pan said.

Hrm, Rough answered.

The group quieted as the trees grew thinner, revealing semi-maintained pathways and stone markers. These grew into mud huts, then complete stone structures as an ancient city appeared before them. The locals, men and women dressed in patterned robes, came out of their houses to see the eclectic group of villains. They pointed in surprise at the dinosaur, causing Dr. Zlo to smirk.

It seems they recognize my genius, he said.

Or, hear me out dude. They dont see a lot of lizards, Riptide replied.

Dr. Zlo squinted in annoyance. And to think I make you equipment.

You know you love me, Riptide said.

Sweet Dream put a hand in front of Riptide. Shush. Somethings happening.

The dinosaur marched toward a central pyramid. An old man and woman walked out of the top, both wearing patterned robes but adorned in a headdress of colorful clay. The mans held depictions of trees, fruits, and other greenery while the old womans had animals of all kinds.

Welcome strange travelers, the man started.

Why have you come? The woman continued.

You have something magical here, Ive heard, Rough said.

The two nodded. That we do. Our Loqium grants us communication with our gods. It is our most sacred metal, and cannot be taken from its pedestal on which it rests.

Why would they tell us that? Riptide asked quietly.

Because games need to add exposition somehow, Jack answered.

Rough grunted, jumping off the controlled dinosaur and moving forward. Thats great and all. But you see, I need that Loqium.

The two ancients frowned and spoke in unison. For what reason do you need our Loqium? Our most sacred of metals, of that which we use to talk to the very gods?

Rough, along with everyone else, smiled. He took another step forward, breathed in to stop a laugh from escaping, and spoke.

Imma eat it.
