14 Information Gathering (2/2)
Shuaan the turtle was glaring at this intruder which trespassed into his house when his master was away.Just when it was going to attack Alyx, a loud noise can be heard from afar.
”Shuaan stop!” Blag intervened and stopped it.
The turtle stopped for a moment hesitating whether to attack or not. Blag approached it and started gently coaxing it before giving it the food he brought.
”Thank god you came in time otherwise I would be a goner.”
”Hahaha sorry I forgot to warn you the other day. If I introduced you two earlier it would not have happened.” Shuaan was eating the fish while glaring at Alyx warning him not to try anything funny.
Alyx wanted to get as far away from it as possible. If he died for such a pitiful reason he would not be able to show his face to any Aon in the future.
*Alyx I think you should let me handle your body till you can adjust to this life. You are just not ready for it. You are not taking anything seriously and it would be your doom before you achieve anything.*
Alyx took control of the body from Ax as he was bored doing nothing. 'Yeah you are right.'
Alyx was reluctant at first but thinking of the consequence he acceded.
*No need to get into such low spirits its due to your old habits but they'll change as time passes. Anyway you criticize Aons but you also let it get to your head and started thinking you are superior unconsciously. It is not a bad thing but coupled with your careless attitude it's a recipe for disaster.*
Alyx had nothing to refute that, if he thought about his actions till now it was apparent. He was treating all this as some picnic. All his conviction and drive that he had at the beginning was lost in a month. He felt ashamed.
*Don't start blaming yourself. Did you forget what you said at the beginning, ”I'm going to be a human with an AI and not some Aon.” You can just stay the way you are and depend on me more.*
'Ax I did not know you have grown up so much. Maybe you can apply to become an Aon yourself.' Alyx mood got lifted somewhat after those words spoken by Ax.
*I am just trying to emulate your thought pattern and replying. I still can't do many things on my own without your directions. I still have a long way to go before I can be called an Aon.*
'Don't be modest you are still the best Aon that I met.'
After Blag took care of Shuaan they went into the house. Blag noticed that the demeanor of Alyx changed significantly after that encounter with Shuaan.
”You don't have to be so alert and tense inside the house.”
”Hahaha nothing. It was a wakeup call for me. I was slacking off a bit too much recently.” Alyx laughed it off, ”Blag I want to meet with your chief.”
Blag had a serious expression and said, ”I have already said to you our tribe is also going to war and we can't accept you. If you want to flee after joining the chief will have no choice but brand you a deserter”
”No, I just want information about leaders of the alliance who are pushing for war so that I can stay away from those tribes.” Blag understood his reasoning and complied.
”Ok I'll try to get that information for you tomorrow.”
”Thank you Blag. I am greatly indebted to you.”
”Hahaha no need for that it's just some trivial information.”
