Talking to the chief

It didn't take long and we arrived in front of the chief's house, it wasn't that different from the other houses, but it seemed bigger and with an air of grandeur and in front of it, there were two warriors, each one held a spear and a small shield and had an aura and strong pressure I looked at their status out of curiosity.

—------------------------

Tepo tribe guard

Lvl: ?????

Description: One of the strongest warriors of the Tepo tribe. His level and existence is too high for the player to be able to visualize.

—------------------------

Good as expected... this is something common in NPCs in cities, as there are powerful monsters that players cannot compare with... there must always be beings that are strong to fight, after all it is a mobile world and not dependent on players.

Ubirajara went to talk to the guards while I waited with my tamers dozing on top of me as usual.

After a while I could see the guards looking at me and they seemed to be thinking and then turned their heads in affirmation.

"The boss is in the house, and the guards have cleared the entrance" Ubirajara stated.

"Okay" I agreed with him and when I entered the house the guards greeted me with a nod which I of course returned politely.

Inside what looked like a kind young man greeted us speaking in the common language.

"A pleasure, I'm Ayra, the boss's daughter, I'll accompany you"

She spoke to me gently.

"A pleasure, I'm Alex"

We shook hands in the usual way and went inside.

I saw Ayra talking a lot with Ubirajara and they seem to be friends, it's really interesting to see honestly... it's undeniable that Ayra is an NPC or a product of artificial intelligence, but the sensation of thoughts, feelings, as well as other senses Physics become so real that it's fascinating to see players getting along with NPCs. And even though I haven't been so involved in the past given my work, I've always heard a lot about these processes, especially that of players relating to NPCs not only as friends, but many consider them as family and even some enter into romantic relationships... yeah very peculiar, just like some people used to have 2D "girlfriends"… but now the feeling of realism is considerably greater.

…

It didn't take long and we arrived inside the room.

"The Boss is inside, you can come in, she smiled kindly at me."

And she withdrew.

Ubirajara looked at me as if asking if I was ready and I nodded slightly.

He followed by opening the door, inside a middle-aged man with thick brown hair, with closed eyes was sitting on the skin of an animal that even dead seemed to transmit power.

His aura was even stronger on several levels compared to the guards, he had dense, tanned muscles that seemed to transmit power and destruction in one movement.

He opened his eyes and looked at me with a strong gaze that seemed to see through everything, and for a moment he frowned as if there was something trying to hide from him, but then he looked away as if it didn't bother him so much...

As for why I already imagined my race's ability to hide was excellent... but there was always no way to see each other... I didn't exactly mind him seeing it either, but I was happy that he didn't.

Soon the boss looked at me and spoke.

I am the leader of this tribe, Abaeté. Feel young. you too Ubirajara."

We both sat down.

And I introduced myself first.

"I'm Alex, it's an honor to meet you"

He nodded with a gentle gesture and continued speaking.

"Ubirajara basically never brings foreigners to the tribe, since he brought you I imagine not only does he trust you but you also helped him and for that I thank you."

"A…nothing, I was in the middle and asked if he would like help…and we ended up helping each other."

I was a little embarrassed by the out of the blue thank you, but I still responded to him.

He smiled gently.

"I see you are a good child. Well then, not-so-human young man, how can I help?"

He spoke while laughing, playing with the not-so-human.

I was a little embarrassed while Ubirajara looked at me curiously, but didn't ask anything and I just decided to ask directly what I wanted.

"Actually boss, I was wondering if you have any information about a tribe called Laurija?"

I asked and looked at him waiting for his reaction and in fact when I said the name I saw the surprised and unexpected expression on his face that soon became one of seriousness.

"Where did you hear about this Tribe?"

He asked me seriously and I answered him honestly.

"I read it in two libraries, but there was little information other than that they lived in an area near here, do you know anything about that?"

He seemed to look at me as if he was judging whether my statement was true or not and as if I were a trustworthy person and after a while he asked.

"Why do you seek this tribe?"

"Well…I heard that it was a tribe that, among many things, was said to be lovers of music and dance, and could use sound and movements moved by its own nature and reality, even being able to use it in combat."

"Well, it's true that they were such a tribe and were known for being powerful and capable…but this tribe a few decades ago suffered a disaster and was decimated."

When he said that I was surprised.

"Serious?"

"Yes"

And with his speech I was left a little speechless and didn't know how to follow…
