Chapter 510 We Have Guests?
“What are you talking about, Viktor? Did you really come here centuries ago?” Umilia asked with a surprised look since Viktor didn’t seem to recall coming here.
Viktor scoured his memories hard and said with a confused look, “No…I would have remembered if I had come here, especially if I had taken the time to learn a language. But this…It’s like I had always known this language.”
“How strange…What if you had learned it before you lost your memories? Maybe it is a subconscious thing just like how some of those who lose their memories still know how to speak their mother tongue,” Taya voiced her opinion. If this was true, she wondered how Viktor and these people were connected. There didn’t seem to be any chance of that.
“My lost memories? Did these people even exist more than 2000 years ago?” Viktor asked with one of his brows raised.
Taya whispered back to him, “According to them, they were part of the first humans to inhabit this world which goes against the theory of evolution we all know about. But I never refuted them since each has their own beliefs and if they are happy believing in something, let them be. But now that you are saying you know their language, there might be a chance these people might have been around beyond 2000 years. I never got the chance to study their history since they never revealed much. It’s like they are afraid to talk too much about themselves,” Taya still found it strange, but because of this, she had always felt a burning curiosity towards this place.
She could also admit that this was one of the reasons she wanted to bring Viktor to this place.
“It’s very strange indeed. Now I am even getting curious about their history since Viktor seems to know their language,” Umilia said with an interested look since she had always wanted to know Viktor’s origins. She knew his origins couldn’t be ordinary, considering he was a true immortal.
Viktor felt even more curious since he felt that this place might have a connection to his past. If that was true, he had to find out. But the problem was, how could he poke his nose into their history if they didn’t want to reveal it? Taya had a good relationship with them, and he didn’t want to ruin that relationship by upsetting them.
“Respected guests, you all came at the right time. We all usually eat lunch together at this time. It’s a tradition we have followed since ancient times to symbolize the unity of our community. I hope you all won’t mind eating with us?” Tamo asked with a cordial smile as he gestured towards a large yard where Viktor and the two women saw most of the natives sitting in uniform lines with large banana leaves kept in front of them, waiting for food.
Viktor had seen people use leaves or stone to eat from before plates or such things were invented and had to admit this small community indeed was living in the past.
Taya smiled as she said, “Of course not. Thank you for having us.”
The three of them sat down on the ground together as one of the natives placed banana leaves before them.
Viktor noticed one strange thing. He never saw any kids. The youngest ones he saw were a few late teenagers.
Thinking about it, if this community of people had such a long heritage, how come this island hasn’t already become crowded? Any ordinary community would keep on producing descendants. That’s how the human population has even reached billions in the present.
The only explanation he could think of was that these people either had some reproduction problems owing to genetics or they purposefully controlled how they reproduced to keep a check on their population. But why? Viktor felt that this was the strangest community he had ever met in his life.
Still, he noticed how happy, simple and kind these people were. He and his women came unannounced, and yet they were providing one of the best hospitality.
“Father, I am back. I heard we have guests?” A woman’s clear, sweet voice echoed from behind as Viktor immediately turned his head around.
‘No way…’ Viktor had his brows raised upon seeing a captivating beauty with caramel skin, looking in her mid-twenties, running up the hills with a radiant smile.
Her amazonian figure sat well on her lithe, curvy body. She had a well-shaped waist, and her complexion had an impeccable, ochrous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black eyelashes. A sculptor could not have fashioned her elegant nose and her facial features better.
Spools of her silky chocolate brown hair plunged around her attractive face and hid a swan’s neck, elegant and smooth. Her deep pink lips looked quite succulent. She was wearing a simple, sleeveless midi dress that showed off her smooth, buttery warm skin, her long slender legs and accentuated her bouncing breasts, making Viktor guess that she was at least an E cup.
And overall, her body had a pleasing, athletic look with lean and toned muscles. Her collarbones were pronounced and looked extremely sexy. She could come close to Talia’s body, making Viktor what kind of physical exercises this woman does to keep up such an attractive figure.
However, unlike her people, her big round eyes were a creamy silver that could enrapture anyone she looked at, even Viktor.
“Close your mouth before something flies in,” Taya said with a pout as she pinched Viktor’s waist, who took the effort to twist his head almost 180 degrees to gawk at a woman.
However, she was also surprised that the girl she saw a decade ago actually grew up into such an attractive woman.
Tamo’s eyes brightened upon seeing his daughter as he said, “You came right on time, Aelita. These three are our guests. Why don’t you get some food and serve them?”
Aelita blinked her creamy silver eyes as she curiously looked at the three guests.
