Hvisland: A VR Colony Sim Game

Chapter 226 - 226 – Back To Former Home



Leva continued to gallop towards Redtooth. During the journey, her gaze was focused, and she only rested a little. She wanted to get to her birthplace as soon as possible.

She stopped her horse when she saw a giant wall in the distance. As soon as she reached the gate and met the guard, the woman jumped down.

"I have to meet Tosa. There are important things to talk about. It's about the safety of all of us." Leva said quickly to the guard. "Please, this is something very urgent."

The male guard with corn-yellow hair narrowed his eyes, silent for a moment. However, he finally said. "Okay, follow me."

The guard knocked the great gate. Shortly after, the gate opened, and Leva entered with the guard. The horse that she brought was entrusted to another guard.

It's too easy. Looks like it was Red who let us in on purpose. I just hope this isn't a bad sign.

"Hey, I'm new here. My name is Seth." The guard explained as he walked the streets of the Tribe. "From the physical traits I've heard, you're Leva, right?"

Leva tilted her head slightly. "That's right, what's really going on?"

"Well, people talk a lot about you." The guard smiled. "I heard you were great."

"Did they tell you about anything other than that? For example, regarding memorable events that occurred in tournaments." Leva spoke while slightly lifting her chin.

A small smile escaped the guard's mouth. "Well, they did say that, but I don't think that's a foreshadowing of your prowess, Leva."

Leva's gaze wandered around. The tribespeople were mostly silent when they saw her. A few were waving to the woman, but Leva didn't pay any heed. It seemed she really didn't want to admit that she was a former member of Redtooth. The Tribe was a part of her bad past.

After a few minutes of walking, Leva finally reached the biggest house. A house that used to be inhabited by Suja as the leader of the Tribe but is now used by Tosa. The building looks more simple with less decoration.

The guard named Seth spoke with the palace guard for a moment, then motioned for Leva to follow. Leva had to walk again through the empty decorations before finally coming to a small room with chairs surrounding a round table.

"It's just me, or this house is getting boring." Leva continued her activities, observing her surroundings.

"Well, I don't know what this place looked like before." Seth shrugged. "Wait a minute here, I'll tell Tosa about you."

"Can I make a request?" Leva sat on one of the chairs. "May I have some fruit buns? It's quite a journey here, and I haven't eaten since morning."

Seth, who was about to come out, froze for a moment, then said. "Well, I'll try."

After saying that, Seth closed the door from the outside.

Leva, whose head pressed against the table, let out soft snoring. In front of her, there is a large plate, a clay glass, and a jug. The plate was now filled with only bread crumbs. She had finished all the bread that was served.

As soon as she heard a knock from outside, Leva gasped. The door to the room opened, and Tosa entered with Brianna. Like the last time I was here, Tosa was still dressed like his people, and so was Brianna.

However, I still won't be fooled. I'm sure he has sold the valuables here for his own benefit.

"Sorry for the long wait." Smiling, Tosa sat across from Leva.

Brie studied Leva's face carefully. "Hey, is it just me, or are you getting fatter? Your cheeks are getting chubby."

"Oh, shut up." Leva refused Brie's hand that was about to pinch her cheek.

"It seems that life in your nameless tribe is prosperous." Tosa widened her smile. "So, what are you doing here, Leva?"

"I don't want to mince words." Leva reached into her sack, then took out a tablet computer from there. It immediately made Brie and Tosa shrivel up. "You'll see for yourself."

Even with a clumsy move, Leva turned on the tablet and showed me the video of the battle between the mechs. This immediately made Brie and Tosa's eyes widen.

"It turns out that the story about the metal giants is true." Brie hissed.

"Huh? You guys ever heard of this?" Leva raised an eyebrow.

Tosa folded his arms across his chest, leaning his back. "We don't know what this thing is in front of us, Brie. Maybe the magic ability it has is just an illusion trick."

"Trust me, the machine army will come, and they will destroy this land." Leva started her explanation with a simple sentence so that Tosa and Brie could understand quickly. "This is just a teaser of what they can do…."

Leva began to tell her everything in an easy language for her and the two Redtooth members to understand. Every now and then, Brie gasped to hear what was happening. Meanwhile, Tosa remained silent while listening with a serious expression.

"You know what." Tosa smiled again, but now it seemed even more annoying. "Those aspects you speak of are very similar to the prophecy that Sena said."

"What?" Leva raised an eyebrow again.

"Well, Sena said he got the power of fortune-teller, though he can't prove it yet." Brie, who was still standing, shrugged. "I don't know since when he became like that."

"I can guarantee that the prophecy is true." Leva gulped, then pointed at the tablet computer lying on the table. "If they can make small things this sophisticated, they can definitely make big weapons of war."

"Say your bombastic words are true." Tosa leaned forward. "What is your proposal to us? You didn't come to us for storytelling, did you?"

"My Tribe has the ability to fight them. We are building other mechs, and that requires a lot of manpower." Leva's tone grew more serious. "And, of course, a large army will be of great help in the great war to come."

Brie rubbed her face. "But, I don't fully believe in the metal man yet…. What's his name? Trevor? He sounds suspicious."

"But, we have no other way." Leva stood up with her breath starting to get out of control. "We have to fight them…."

Tosa raised his hand, and it instantly silenced Leva. "Have you forgotten anything else that can make us survive if disaster strikes?"

Leva's brow furrowed. "What do you mean?"

Shit. I can already guess the direction of Tosa's conversation, and it will screw my colony.

"Let's just run away from here." Tosa spread his arms, smiling again. "If I were in your tribe, I would make the mechs just a means of transportation to carry a lot of people."

Slowly, Leva's mouth began to gape. Yes, she and her fellow colonists couldn't really get away from where they lived. Therefore, Leva only thought of fighting back.

This is all thanks to a curse from H.

"What you and Sena told me wasn't certain to happen." Brie took a deep breath. "But there's nothing wrong with being on guard. After all, there were already two people who said almost the same thing. That will be a consideration."

Leva's body looks stiff. "But, we have to fight them…."

"Fight them? What for? Because of the land you live on?" Tosa chuckled, then got up from the chair. "Well, the land here is still vast, Leva. There's no point in defending this place."

"But, maybe for the rest of your life, you will have to run away from those metal troops."

"Well, it's better than dying right away while fighting them." With his hands behind his back, Tosa started walking towards the door. "You who showed the video should know. We are nothing in front of them. Even the powerful Acornhull tribe was crushed."

"Actually, we were already preparing to leave amid Sena's prophecy." Brie approached Leva. "After getting this second story source, we're really going to do it. We will go as far from here as possible."

"You and your friends should also leave soon." Tosa had already opened the door. "And goodbye. You are free to be here any time."

After saying that, Tosa left the room. Instead of following his boss, Brie closed the door.

Leva was sitting again with her mouth hanging open.

Brie sat beside Leva, then touched the red-haired woman's hand. My female colonist just raised an eyebrow at that.

"We can still be together again, Leva," Brie said in an almost choked voice. "My tribe and your tribe can leave this land together."

Leva shook her head slowly. "I can't, Brian… I mean, Brie."

"Why?"

"I don't know myself, but I certainly can't." Leva took the tablet from the table, then put it in the luggage bag.

"Hey, where are you going?" Brie asked as Leva started walking away from the place.

"There's no point in me being here anymore." Leva walked out of the room at a brisk pace. "There is still work to be done."

Brie, who had been running after Leva, suddenly stopped her movement. Her gaze was fixed on her friend.. Apparently, this place's guardian spirit didn't want Brie to go after the red-haired woman.
