Chapter 126: 02

As Lex’s ship entered the constellation automatically, he was ready to face whatever challenge was given to him.

He was seated inside the ship when suddenly he heard a loud voice come from his ship.

“Unknown spaceship, declare your intentions, slow down, and report your identity at once.”

A commanding voice came in from the ship’s room where thousands of buttons were; a red-colored button was specially glowing.

Lex stood up and understood the drill because he was from modern-day Earth, and he knew what was going on.

He went into the room; this was not the first time he was in here in these months, but he was going to touch a button for the first time.

He pressed and held the red button to talk with the unknown ship or whatever that was trying to connect with him.

“Hello, I am from Justice Constellation, and I wanted to meet Justice Peter,” Lexus said. He couldn’t understand the mechanics of the spaceship, so he didn’t slow down.

“Moron, you can’t just barge in.”

“Who are you?”

Lexus was instantly confused; he was not sure what kind of response to give anymore.

“Alright, slow the fuck down before we obliterate you along with your ship.”

Lexus then pressed some switches; his photographic memory was coming to use now because he remembered what those two stooges did, and he was simply repeating it.

The whole spaceship vibrated, and with a huge gravitational pull, the whole ship stopped moving.

“Very good, now tell us , are you an immortal?”

“No, sir, I am not an immortal. I came from a Justice Constellation as well. My name is Lexus.” Lexus tried as much as possible to be calm and collected because this is a very powerful organization, and he doesn’t want to mess up and get killed ultimately.

“Open your ship’s door; don’t try anything funny.”

Lexus did what he was told; he opened the door of the ship and saw four huge cannons targeting his ship. There was only one huge ship, and there were maybe hundreds of people inside that huge ship.

“You look like an immortal, but I guess you’re not.” An officer came out of that huge ship while flying; he was relaxed and had both of his hands behind his back.

“Yes, sir, I am not an immortal at all. On the contrary, I am here to work for the Ancient Court,” Lexus replied. He thought he’d choke outside this ship, but he seems to be able to breathe easily.

“Alright, enough chatter. You’re not an Arbitrary either, so you need to go change your race. Our mini ship will take you to the Colossal Planet,” the officer said. He was not helping out Lexus; on the contrary, this Constellation has fierce tourist competition, and their crew luckily found this spacecraft with a newbie inside.

“Alright, sir,” Lexus readily agreed, as he doesn’t have any choice at all. Those super cannons don’t look like good news.

“But I can’t drive it really. This was set up by someone else and…” Before Lexus could say his sentence, that officer who came out of the ship interrupted him.

“Officer Barns, help out this young man.” The chill officer said a young man came and sat on Lexus’s ship and stirred it slowly like a professional.

Lexus, although mad, had very little choice in this; he was just fake smiling and doing whatever the official soldiers were saying.

Although Lexus didn’t dare to check the officers stats, he could feel danger coming from them, and he didn’t want to offend anyone at this point in his life.

Lex’s ship went into a planet that was so huge that it was the only planet in the whole solar system and was bigger than its own energy star.

Lexus was awed because he was not sure how this planet even maintained life and how this huge thing operated.

If he was as unknown to planetary sizes as he was back on Whote Planet, he wouldn’t have been that shocked to see such a thing, but he knows how the universe is now after traveling so far, yet he was still stunned to see such a thing.

The planet was as if someone expanded Earth 100x; it was huge and looked the same as Earth.

“Fascinating, isn’t it? The whole thing was a gas giant just a million years ago,” the officer who was driving the ship said to Lexus because Lexus was staring at the planet intensely.

“It is indeed fascinating. What’s the name of this planet?” Lexus asked; he really was fascinated by the planet and how it works.

“Well, this planet is called Collosal Planet. You’ll know our history when you visit our planet. Why did you travel here?” The officer asked curiously, as he was a chatterbox who liked to talk.

“I came here to meet Justice Peter,” Lexus said, as he was a newbie and wanted to let people know more about his intentions clearly.

“Eh? Justice? That’s a very powerful person. Our planet has one, but we don’t know if he’s called Peter. Anyway, you can’t just meet them out of the blue like this,” the officer said. He was casually giving hints and tips without giving it much thought.

“Oh! So how do I go and meet one? I have got a recommended letter as well from a judge: “Lexus tried his best to skip some grueling side missions, which is a little bothersome.

“Even if you have a recommendation letter, I don’t think meeting a justice is common. How about a meeting with Romero? I can arrange a meeting for some gold,” the officer asked casually, as he wanted to introduce Lexus to someone for money.

“Who is Romero?” Lexus asked curiously; they were almost approaching the planet’s atmosphere.

“Well, he’s a merchant, a great merchant. He’s my future father-in-law, but he doesn’t work for free, and I don’t work until I see some coins.” The officer said, as the huge clouds parted for Lex’s ship, Lexus saw the planet from this close for the first time.

The huge airports were built in the air, and they were supported by nothing.

The floating airports looked immovable and solid; many people were parking their spaceships in it.

“This side of the planet is called Holy Roma. It’s an emerging kingdom, and we’re from this nation,” the officer introduced himself while saying this smilingly.

Lexus looked at the advanced civilization; this planet looked very vast and futuristic. There were houses that were flying and hovering balloons that had people inside them dining.

“Rome is an empire that is not that powerful, but you’ll be happy to know we’re very tourist friendly.” Young Officer Barns said he was very excited, and even Lexus could feel his energy.

Lexus was, although very humble, not stupid either; he could somewhat guess that these people were not from those constellations at all. On the contrary, these people seemed to be a little bit weird.

“That is very good to know, so we were talking about Romero,” Lexus said, then pulled out a Kolar Gold Coin from his ring and gave it to Officer Barns.

“Yes, Romero knows a Justice personally, although Justices are lofty, but he could manage a meeting. So if you show your recommendation letter to a Justice, of course he’s going to help,” Officer Barns replied while stuffing his pocket with the gold.

“Alright, thanks, Officer Barns. I’ll give you ten golds to answer my next question truthfully,” Lexus said, then really pulled out ten Kolar gold coins and placed them in front of Barns.

Officer Barns gulped, then picked every single one of them carefully and smiled at Lexus widely.

“Are you guys space pirates?” Lexus asked directly, as he was almost sure they were actually space pirates.

“No, no, that’s not the case here. We’re not pirates; actually, we’re a crew prepared by the Holy Roman Empire to entice and lure tourists inside our kingdom before anyone else,” Officer Barn said with a panic-stricken face.

“So, what is your job? How many are there like you?” Lexus asked, the more he asks, the weirder things are becoming.

“Well, in this planet there are a total of 50 kingdoms, including us, and 5 empires. From Ancient Court, there’s a ruling that every kingdom can send only one inviting ship, which is us, and an empire can send three inviting ships. Their goal is to fetch and entice as many tourists as possible for their kingdom, and we luckily found your ship first,” Barn explained very honestly, which Lexus didn’t expect from someone like him.

“So basically you guys are fighting over tourists?” Lexus asked; he felt weird hearing such a nonsensical idea.

“Yes, our world’s lacking an item. This item is not present in our environment, so we seek it by tourists.” Barn said the ship made a satisfying click sound when it landed on the airport.

“Ancient Court uses gold as a currency of trade, and I am guessing your world lacks gold, which is why you guys are actually using such tactics?” Lexus understood thoroughly that he doesn’t have much to be scared of from these people.

“Yes, sir, we had world wars before over groups of tourists, so you can understand how valuable tourists are for us. You gave me ten coins; that’s why I am giving you so much information. With these coins, I can own a spaceship here and marry my sweetheart Romina.” Barn foolishly smiled and said to Lexus.

Barn then showed Lexus around the port, which was a huge megastructure run by an energy called Magic.
