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."
Suddenly, 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.
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.
After 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.
