Chapter 383 Beginning To Assemble The Vehicle

Viktoria felt that it would indeed be dangerous for them to return to her property while she was so weakened.

Fortunately, her weakness concerns her soul powers, not her physical ones. Thus, she could do everyday things and even fight as a bodily warrior, as was the case of Lothur.

Of course, she could also do other things with her little body...

Lothur noticed this and smiled after sighing at having to spend a night in this place.

"Get some rest first... In fact, find us something to eat. How about calling Annaliese to come here? In the meantime, I want to start taking a look at one of my projects." He said to her, feeling his stomach rumbling because he had not eaten in over a day.

Soul cultivators could use some of their energy to nourish their physical bodies. That was a complicated process that would develop over levels. Still, someone like Viktoria would be able to get well even after a day or two without eating.

However, for someone unable to do the same, as was the case with the current Lothur, going without eating was somewhat problematic.

Not only did he risk running out of nutrition, but his strength could even be weakened temporarily.

That was not enough to 'risk' his level or anything like that. But it would have results on his strength so that he would feel almost as if he had a cold.

Then, after this situation inside the Frost family treasury, Lothur craves to eat while feeling a subtle weakness in his athletic body.

Since Annaliese cooked much better than Viktoria, he did not miss the chance to suggest to his wife that she call that young lady.

Viktoria knew the differences in cultivation between her and Lothur and was not surprised that, at the moment, he wanted food more than her naked in bed...

Therefore, she did not complain to her husband and promptly did what he suggested. At the same time, he turned his attention to the items inside his spatial ring.

While Viktoria did what he had ordered, Lothur pulled out the items needed for constructing his miniature vehicle, preparing to begin assembling such a thing.

The vehicle he had designed for Frederik to create the different parts of was different from the final versions of the cars he wanted to market in this world.

Such a miniature consisted of the vehicle's chassis, the wheels, the engine, the gears needed to run it, and something to protect the parts.

He had not invested in a miniature identical to his designs since, besides this being an unnecessary expense, he would not need such parts.

The idea was to produce something that could be used to prove that his project was possible to realize so that he could get funding from the local powers.

Hence, Lothur's miniature, when assembled, would not look like a special carriage or chariot. On the contrary, such an item would look more or less like a kart.

The reason for this?

Simple, Lothur needed something that could hold a certain amount of weight, but that was not large enough to require a large investment on his part.

People in the past on this continent had tried ideas similar to his but failed because their vehicles were too weak to handle the weight they normally carried. Thus, he needed something capable of supporting such weight to demonstrate that his project differed from those that had failed.

On the other hand, he needed to demonstrate the vehicle's functionality, which could not be done by an item much smaller than a kart.

In this way, he began to inscribe or add formations to those different parts of his presentation vehicle, beginning to give shape to such a thing.

'That's not a difficult job at all...' He pondered as he did his part. 'The formations in this vehicle are to replace the necessary processes in the engine and electrical components that don't exist in this world.'

'But the mechanical part is the same as one would find in an ordinary Earth car.'

While he was doing his work, Viktoria and Annaliese were already chatting in the kitchen of that house, making the dinner he was hungry to eat.

With that, after almost an hour from the moment he began his work, Lothur stopped when he had finished placing the wheels and components connected to the engine on the chassis.

He had just smelled Annaliese's sweet food 'calling' him and did not waste much time finishing the formation he was working on.

That was delicate work and patience, so since he was starving, he left it to continue later.

After putting those items into his spatial ring, he could satisfy his hunger.

...

After a few hours...

After eating with Annaliese and Viktoria, Lothur taught his sister-in-law about the item he had chosen for her.

In such a situation, Viktoria had given that item to her sister. Still, even considering the skill of that artifact, Annaliese had not liked the idea of wearing an eye patch.

However, after some conversation, Lothur and Viktoria had convinced her to at least wear it when she went to sleep or was at home to stimulate her cultivation speed.

That was not as extreme as wearing such a thing 24 hours a day. Then, she accepted the proposal of the two, having started to use that item after Lothur's explanation.

This way, Lothur rested in that house while reading alchemy books until his wife called him to bed.

On this occasion, he had some fun with her for a while until they were both exhausted and went to sleep.

So, in this instant, they were sleeping peacefully in Viktoria's room, cuddled together, unaware of what was approaching them.

Outside that Frost family estate, a man in dark clothes, a mask on his face, was floating in the air, looking in the direction where the two were.

He then looked elsewhere, sensing Mabel's spiritual fluctuations, quickly noticing that this woman was sleeping with her husband.

'Very well. If I act quickly and without causing a commotion, I'll be able to get the boy and leave before she realizes it.' So this person considered, before flying off in the direction of where Lothur and Viktoria were, using the breaches in the security of that property to break in with some ease.

The Frost family was not currently in good enough condition to have strong enough defenses to stop someone at this man's level. Hence, even if something was there to make life difficult for people like him, it could be 'bypassed' by someone as careful as him.

So, in the blink of an eye, this individual entered Viktoria's house, quickly making his way to the room where she and Lothur were embracing each other.

'Tsk!'

'Looks like you have a good life, after all...' The individual in question considered before making a few signs with his hands, and spiritual energy condensed into something flowing towards that bed.

At that moment, Lothur opened his eyes!
