Chapter 34 : Entertaining Spectacle Part 5.
The suggestion i gave to Dallas is truly on point, after all, some of the Quests that we received are way too straightforward, which is a clear hint of what our actions should be oriented.
—Fine!, But walk fast or you will be left too far behind.
Say Dallas with a tint of annoyance and defiance in his voice, turning around, walking towards one of the eight exits i saw while i was scouting with my sight for Bverxkka's location.
Crossing the exit arch we are received by a small room that leads to two stairs made of black wood and indigo stone plates, they are on both sides of the small roon and ascend to an upper floor.
In between of these stairs there is placed on the indigo wall a sliding black wood door.
I recognize the design on sight because i saw it before, in an old building that me and my middle school classmates visited in "Ground" during a school trip.
{It is a mechanical elevator, and a fairly large one, probably able to transport between 25 and 35 people without problems thanks to its size… , But, this is strange, i don't see anything to call it, there are no buttons!}
Without stopping our walk, we go up using the stairs on the left side, they are relatively closer to us and more empty, because the others ones are four to five times more crowded.
"The next floor", turns out to be just a long landing between stairs, which changes the direction of said stairs, conducing us to another landing.
Fortunately we only go up one more time, reaching the ground floor of what appears to be the reception area of a large and luxurious hotel.
Pastel peach is the most abundant colour of the walls, in which there are embeded patterns in orange gold highlighting the edges of said walls to maintain the red velvet print that decorates the underside of them.
Guving an intricate appearance of a vast ocean of blood being violently struck by golden orange lightning bolts.
This is interesting occurrence as combines perfectly with the design of the desks used by the receptionists, because the furniture looks like old torpedo gunboats made of black wood.
Lastly, silver chandeliers are attached on the sailing, being the sculpture of flying krakens that have light for fire in the end of their tentacles.
However, this place has already achieve the access to electricity, since the chandeliers have old light bulbs instead of candles.
—What are those?.
Inquire Thyfall, pointing with her delicated finger to the chandeliers, so i reply the obvious answer.
—Old Light bulbs, they use electricity to produce light.
The eyes of the damsel open up pretty wide, as her voice shows panic and curiosity.
—How does that work?!, It is safe?, Should we take distance?, Electricity can kill others even when a [Personal Shield] protects them?!.
Apologetically i look to her.
—Sorry "Bunny Girl", i don't know that, but if the installation was made correctly, then shouldn't be any danger…
—"Cooper" is correct "Bunny" there is nothing you have to fear there…
Bverxkka stoic voice has an instant calming effect on the slightly agitated Thyfall, who observe the now Handsome No Egg Person.
»—The flow of Electrons is impeded by a piece of metal that presents great resistance to the movement across its surface, this rise up the temperature of the object, increasing the heat released by it without any ignition because of the absence of oxygen to produce fire, this occurs due to the vacuum inside the glass around the object, and it is this phenomenon the responsible for the emission of photons, which you observe in the form of light.
{Wow!, tha explanation sounds like something a professor could say to many students in a lesson!}
A laud "Oh!" cames from Dallas.
—So this ugly bulky waste of glass and metal is like the still wasteful LED used in the past?.
—Indeed.
Bverxkka response is short, and Dallas almost wait for more context, but instead he changes the question.
—"Apex", Your Species make use of self lighting by employing the already existent Electrons in the molecular structure of the atoms to vary the non-visible spectrum of light into a usable one that is not harmful to eyesight?.
—In the distant past, until the Hybrids and Weaklings proliferation force the regression of our society to a less advance technology due to the mediocrity in the evolution path of the majority of the population.
Dallas becomes speachless, utterly stupefy by Bverxkka's words, clerly, the former didn't expect that kind of answer, and now, he remains motionless, rethinking his life, or something like that.
*—What is LED?.*
Whisper to me Thyfall, and i reply in kind, almost brushing her ear, making her blush.
*—"Light Emitting Diode", is similar to the light bulb, but smaller and better, needs less electricity, emits more light, and depending the frequency, the colour of the light changes too.*
—I haven't seen a creature like that.
Commented Wildkyr'zon, showing evident interest on the chandelier.
—Looks like an octopus with more tentacles.
Say Dallas, to which i somewhat disagree.
—Is too small to be one, not even a giant or colossal squid are that large, is more like a "Kraken".
—Indeed, you are half correct Cooper, those animals are still too small, even the Kraken, the Creature sculpted in this hanging monuments are "En'ihg", they can tolerate extreme pressures and manipulate Enph Electrons and Inph Electrons, but is outside of my knowledge the type of Electrons depicted in the representation of the lightnings in the wall.
—Unph Electrons… , Dangerous, my daughter develop them and kill lesser matriarchs cousing unbalance and the attack of other competitors…
The Amazon said with consciousness and pride, hinting her capacity to give birth to exceptional descendants as she close the distance and rubs her nose against Bverxkka's neck.
The latter doesn't pay attention to the caressing, better said, he dissimulate not being interested in such behavior, as his right hand travels steadily on the Valkyrie back, reaching the waist and locking her to himself, an action that she likes, showing it with a sensual purr, nibbling the ear of the "Hûrngöth", the name of Bverxkka's Species, or at least the way she called them.
A few steps ahead is the entrance of this building, and getting near we are stopped by four towering beefy Men that close our path while a fifth person approaches us.
He is a bellboy, who does not speak, but smiles kindly pointing to the receptions behind.
{We could fight our way out, but that would break the rules, which is bad… , Getting punishments by doing something that you understand it shouldn't be performed by you from the start, is one of the stupidest ways of fuck up your life… , and i still don't know why others are not aware of this obvious truth, Especially when is so damn evident!}
Turning away to not cause any trouble at all, we advance back to the receptions, even Dallas doesn't try to act out of character, more likely the opposite, he acts out of character by not showing his arrogance or usual defiant attitude.
Thyfall is very sensible and well mannered, following me pretty much since i save her on the steppe from the Caterpillar.
While Bverxkka is quite respectful of others, in his own strange way, of course, that let the Amazon, she doesn't mind at all the change of direction, she looks happy licking Bverxkka, leaving glossy saliva on him to mark him.
{She is very primitive in her speech and actions, but at the same time she has a lot of knowledge, which i consider to be extremely strange, even suspicious, i hope i am not right and it is only my Paranoid… , i mean, Pragmatic Disposition being unreasonable cautious as when i am near the unpredictable demeanor of Shlõvthy}
At the nearest reception, there is a young man as an attendant, who shares the basic characteristics that i have been noticing in all of those i think they fit perfectly as what they are, "NPC'S", Non Playable Characters.
The exaggeration on my designation is based on their responses, they feel as predetermined answers, even in complex or meaningless questions, what shouldn't be possible.
{Unless they have a really low IQ, if so, Who keeps the influxes on science?, the pattern is there, elevators and electricity are very complex structures to be created and maintained by people less intelligent… , strange, unless they could do all of this and are only pretending otherwise, but with what purpose?}
The reason we were forced to return ends up being because as a Team, we get access to one room of the hotel, as well as many services without any cost.
{Plotting!, someone is playing with us as if where pieces in a board game!, the five eyes Host?, There are others?, Or he is just a tool too?, Which actually seems as it is the case?}
