Chapter 7: first contact.

Over the grass feld 2 individual was walking through without a set direction, following the stream right beside them.

“Any clue for possible civilization?” ask the boy after walking in the same direction for half an hour.

[Civilization usually prosper near clean water sources, as such it is highly possible that there are settlement down streams.] explain the AI.

“We shall see.” reply the boy as he continues down the seamlessly endless stream.

After a couple of minutes later the boy’s march was interrupted by the robotic sound of the AI

[Civilization detected.] The boy froze as he lifted his head up from the ground to see small streams of white smoke coming up from the distants just behind a small hill.

“It seems that your assumptions were correct.” muse the boy. Step by step the boy climbed up the hill. From the top the hill the boy overlooks a collection of primitive structures, using the biological enhancement the boy enhances his eyesight so that he is able to observe the details of the structures without effort.

“Rocks for building material? Interesting. analyze these structures.” order the boy.

[these buildings match with buildings created from the mid 13th century to late 15th century. Judging from the size and the numbers of these buildings it is highly likely that we are witnessing a farming village. These farming villages usually have a population between 250 and 300. Main production usually is wheat or raw materials.]

“Wheat?” ask the boy at this seamlessly new words.

[Wheat was once a widely cultivated plant for its seed, in ancient times it was a worldwide staple food that is usually served as their main source of carbohydrates.] explain the AI to the clueless boy.

“Umm…. their more primitive than I expected” muse the boy. “How shall we engage these…. Peoples.”

[there is a guideline for peaceful engagement with lesser civalications, shall I list them out for you?] advice the boy.

“Go ahead.” said the boy offhandedly.

[during first contact with a lesser civilization it is advised that you show no ill-will towards them, as to avoid conflict]

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

“Don’t point any weapons at them unless necessary, seems logical.” muse the boy as he slowly climbed down the other side of the hill toward the village.

[secondly, to make sure that you show a slight technological advantage over them, it is advised to only keep your clothing a few centuries in front of them so as to not cause any unnecessary panics.]

“Very well, equip me with clothing you deem appropriate.” order the boy. Next a swarm of nanobots launch onto the boy. slowly the boy’s clothing began to change, the iron plated armor he was wearing was covered by a white first renaissance era coat.”

[these 16 century era clothing will do.]

“We shall see.” muse the boy. The boy turned to look up at the soposbe village, with a blank gaze he started to walk toward the village.

Dillan pov

Today was any day for Dillan, he worked up rate breakfast then got to work. As the guards captain of Barham it is his job to ensure the safety of the village, from bandis, monsters or even some corrupted nobels seeking quick money. But today he met something incredibly interesting, in broad daylight a person in white was walking towards them. Usually this means that the person probably isn't a threat, however sometimes there are people foolish enough to attempt to engage the village in broad daylight. The closer the person becomes the more alert he becomes, the person doesn't have a wagon or any sort of baggage so definitely not a merchant. There aren't any visible weapons on the person so it is unlikely that this person is an adventurer. But considering the bizarre choice of clothing it won’t be strange if this person is an adventurer, who wears white coat along with sandals anyway? Slowing the person marches closer and closer toward the village before stopping right in front of the 2 guardsman task with watching the entrance. Once close the person looks more and more bizarre than he ever thought the person could be and that's saying a lot because he met adventurers that travel through this village before, sometimes he met adventurers who wear so much armour that it is impractical while others wear armor that barely covers anything. But this person is a completely different type of weird. The person's long platinum hair that reaches it’s shoulder blade makes it incredibly difficult to discern it’s gender, however the way the person carries himself tells him that it is a boy. The second noticeable thing about this boy is the long white coat this person wears, but the armor beneath just doesn't add up. The armor beneath is metal strips tied together made into armor, these makeshift armor was usually worn by drafted soldiers in some kingdom less technologically advanced but the steel being used is completely unknown to him. Instead of the usual color of the steel the material the armor in front of him is dark gray almost black and made out of a completely unknown material. The armor was definitely made for him considering the unlikely chance for a blacksmith to make armor in the size of a child.

After a long agonizing minutes of silence the boy finally look up toward them and spoke

The boy in a completely unknown language. While the other guardsmans are worrying about not understanding the boy, Dillan and other veterans are much worried about something else.

Many say that the eyes are the gateway to one's soul, you could tell if someone is happy or sad, hostile or peaceful from the eyes. What creeped Dillan out soo much is that the eyes of the boy are completely blank, lacking any emotion. Instead of looking at the eyes of a person it is more similar to looking at the eyes of a well crafted doll, the glassy emotionless eyes of the boy reveal nothing to Dillan. However his train of thought was interrupted when the boy said something that they finally understood.
