Chapter 6: Am I rich now?
"I will pay his registration fees right now, and you can send it to his account," the old man said. Doc. Fitz snorted under her breath; she didn’t seem too happy about it. She clicked on her ’watch’ that projected a holographic screen. Aric could discern that she was accessing the Internet or whatever it was called in this place.
She clicked some buttons on the holographic screen, and after a process of 1 minute, she turned the screen to face Aric.
"Sit still. You don’t want your registration picture to come out bad, right?" Doc. Fitz said.
"Wait, I didn’t consent to anything yet," Aric couldn’t help but protest.
"Kid, you need this registration. Without it, you can’t travel to any civilization borders. I don’t know where you came out from, but you need this here. If you are from royalty, then it’s a different matter. Wait, are you from royalty?"
"Royalty? No." Aric didn’t know what royalty meant here, but he for sure wasn’t going to pretend to be some leader of humans. That would be suicidal.
"Then do it. Don’t worry, I don’t really care where you came from, and neither Doctor Fitz here would be able to come after you once you register. It is for your own safety," the old man said. Aric looked at him and could somehow feel that this man was telling the truth. He might not be quite an expert in finding out if a person was truthful or not after a few minutes of meeting, but he could tell that this man didn’t mean any harm.
"Hey, you think I will kidnap him or something?" Doc. Fitz seemed to be quite offended and protested.
"For fame and fortune? Definitely." The old man spoke outright in front of her face, making Doc. Fitz embarrassed, but she didn’t try to refute. Aric then resolutely turned and faced her watch in order for the picture to be taken.
