The Red Crystal Kingdom
Riyaal Market


They rested in a simple inn they had met after the trip. There, they rented two rooms. One for Uzan, Edgar, and Dubal. One more for Sara.


The next day, Uzan and others woke up in the middle of the day exhausted by night. They discussed planning before entering the Riyaal market. Sara entered the room of Uzan and the others. After that, they discussed.


“So, so that we do not rotate – turn when looking for goods,” said Sara. “Better we set first about what we want to buy.”


“That's easy!” Edgar exclaims. “Out of the Magical Realm, I guess we leave nothing but magic scrolls, money, and goods – personal items Dubal.”


“That's right,” Dubal nodded. “At the very least you have to buy – items of your own.”


“Luckily I still have money,” Uzan finger-picking. “But this time, wisely, we have to save because it is likely we will still need a lot of the money.”


“If you want,” said Dubal, “I will help you with the money that Prince Uzan gave me.”


“That's not necessary,” prevent Uzan. “You can enjoy your hard work for helping us.”


“That's right!” Edgar scratched his head. “Although if Dubal wants to help, actually I will appreciate.” more


Uzan ignored Edgar. “So, we need clothes, weapons, and food and medicine – drugs. We will keep – guard if anyone gets hurt.”


“Is there any other proposal before we leave?”


“What if I propose that we change horses?”


Uzan looked at Dubal who was asking a question with a serious look. “Why, Dubal?


“I guess,” Dubal twisting his beard, “will be more efficient if our group is pulled by one rider and the other is in the train.”


“Hey, Dubal,” said Edgar, “Did you not pay attention to your horse? The vehicle you drive and maintain. If my horse had not been captured by that magical creature, I would not have changed horses.”


“I know that there are a handful or a few people who have a favorite horse or something. However, I consider that this mission is important,” Dubal explained. “If judging from interests, the fate of Kastala is more important than just horses.”


“I agree, ” Sara nodded “Almost if we were inside a closed car, then no one would be able to recognize Prince Uzan and harm him.”


Dubal grinning. “In addition, we will not be approached by people – people like me for the future.”


“That's right!” Edgar flicked his finger. “Actually Dubal himself I think also looks dangerous, but over time – I feel used to it.”


“It was a fortune that would rarely happen”


Edgar and Dubal laughed together.


Uzan looked at Sara who was pensively with a blank look. “What's up, Sara?”


“I also imagine if Rena comes with us, maybe we can make our journey easier” Sara shook her head. “Otherwise, if I know more about the information related to that magic scroll.”


After subsiding from his laughter, Dubal asked, “Who is Rena?”


“Rena is our friend,” Reply Uzan. “He is a witch.”


“Magic, yes?” dubal. “Interesting once.”


Uzan said, “He could not participate because he served as a senior official who contributed to secure the Palace and surrounding settlements.”


“It was very unfortunate.”


“Ya..” says Sara. “Had Rena come along, this would probably have been easier. Moreover, at the end of this I want to ask about how the intuition of prince Uzan is working.”


“It is unfortunate if in the group we do not have members who have more knowledge about magic.”


“Master Uzan,” Sara asked in a worried tone. “Did Rena not tell what – what when preparation for departure?”


“Rena was at odds with Faraq...” Uzan remembers – remembering the last incident “Ia commented a lot when I did that preparation Ritual,” said Uzan. “But I trust Faraq more because he is related to Kamasa and they work together with each other. Although..”


“Hey,” Edgar added. “That might be understandable because Rena is chatty.”


Uzan ignored Edgar. “Let's not fuss about Rena and turn our attention to the main problem.”


“It looks like it should save time,” Dubal said. “Even I have prepared – items since this morning.”


“Baiklah” says Uzan.


“Come we leave!” Exclaimed Edgar confidently and Sara too, but still looked worried. Finally They all immediately ended the discussion and immediately prepared – ready.


After they left the inn, Uzan and the others headed to a market.


There is a plaque that says ‘Riyaal’ Market in front of the gate of the entrance of the market. The merchants and buyers are pollinating in that place to make transactions.


While leading the horses, Uzan and others walked through the market to do their planning.


Edgar inquired about the existence of food stores, clothes, weapons, and drugs – drugs. They did not encounter any difficulties when questioning the place – place because many people have already memorized about the place – place in the market.


After buying a few pieces of clothing for each person, the four of them went shopping to buy supplies to continue the journey. Not to forget, Uzan bought a Horse Coat so that the goods – items can be carried by Dubal's horse for a while.


After the clothing store, the four of them went to the Drug Store to buy – medicines. One of the biggest drugstores on the market.


Sara asked if there was an Azure Bracelet to increase the power of the Cleric Magical. The seller gave five Azure bracelets and informed them that they were the last in stock as there were no deliveries from the island of Igardias.


Next, Uzan and the others approached a gun shop. The store provided a wide variety of weapons plastered on the walls.


“Please choose the weapon you like” said the seller.


Then, the Prince and the others to the Weapon Shop. Edgar was excited. He bought the sharpest spear there. Sara prevents because it's expensive. But Uzan agreed. Dubal still stays with his axe. Uzan also bought a sword.


“Do you not have a special sword, prince Uzan?” ask Dubal.


“There is a sword called Gray Slasher in the palace. However, my mother said that the sword was special to protect the Palace.”


“Very dear. Even the Bluest Axe Axe axe belonging to prince Axel is always taken to where – where.” Dubal. “The royal weapon can be sure to have sacred power. Isn't that right?”


“My father said that relying on that confidence will arise because of self-motivation rather than the magic of weapons owned.”


Dubal smiles. “You are interesting once, prince.”


When finished, Uzan immediately paid for everything that had been purchased. After the transaction is completed, they bring their goods.


In that horse shop, hundreds of horses are available and housed in their stables – each. Dozens of caretakers are also passing by to take care of – horses that are being negotiated by many buyers.


After Uzan said to one of the officers, he called the seller.


A man in a long mustachioed brown Cowboy hat flattered out of one of the rooms. He carried a paper tray and a pen.


"Oh, it turns out there are visitors who need horses, yes?” The seller greeted Uzan and others. “Call me Roshar!”


Uzan invited Dubal to speak in the transaction. “Do you provide horses and trains?”


“Wait a minute!" Roshar called an officer and spoke to him.


After a while, the officer came with a white gold-tailed horse.


“This is it!” exclaim that Seller. “We present to you the imported magical horse of Igardias”


Uzan and the others looked at the horse while feeling astonished. But quickly Uzan and Dubal assuaged their astonishment.


“From Igardias, yes?” sara said “Does that horse have magical powers?”


“Magic Power?” Roshar. “Do not have. But he's immune to magical powers. Here's the dating car.”


“Is there anything special about that horse?” edgar said enthusiastically.


“What I can explain from the horse I sold is that he is immune to magical powers,” Roshar twisted his mustache. “The badge train that he carries will not be easily destroyed because it has high immunity to magical or non magical attacks.”


“What do you think, you guys?” Dubal circulated the views to Uzan and others. “The horse looks luxurious.”


“Given the importance of the task we carry,” Uzan holds the chin, “we will directly take it.”


“Do you not consider other aspects?”


“If this thing is immune to magical power, then this opportunity cannot be missed,” Uzan sighed.


“Take it, Uzan!” chirps Edgar.


“I also agree if we directly take it.” Sara said. “Considering how important the task we carry, as we talked about in the inn earlier.”


After thinking about it for a moment, Dubal opened the conversation.


“Alright! we want to do an exchange rate with our horse.”


“Already expected,” said Roshar. “One of the attendants of this place has checked your horse and made a price estimate if you really want to trade with this luxury horse.”


“How much should we pay?”


“Are you guys really going to pay this horse?” Roshar looked at Uzan with a skeptical look. “kalat ‘ I've guessed’ all I just said was a joke.”


“We seriously want to buy it.”


“Your horses are indeed in a normal state like – horses in general. But it can only cover a little cost that you have to spend to buy this luxury horse.”


"You said that there was only one horse" Uzan said in a compliment.  “We can not miss the opportunity to buy an incredible horse.”


“Alright, “Roshar smile. He immediately counts.“So the total price...”.


Uzan paid the exchange fee and Roshar called the horse attendant to guide the horse – horses used to make the transaction. Dubal and Edgar followed the officer to help take care of the exchange process.


Roshar counted the money he received. “Not usually anyone buys a horse that expensive. Of course this is very important”


“My name is Uzan,” The prince introduced himself, “I am the only son of King Endan, King of the Kastala Palace.”


“Prince yes?” Roshar puts the money in his waist bag and then crosses paths. He seems to be unconcerned. “Pardon me for not knowing the Prince. Even I only heard the name of King Endan and have never met him. I only care about the transactions I do with – subscribers.”


“That I don't blame”


“Often occurs earthquake end – this late,” Sara said to Roshar even though he did not like the seller's reaction. “How is the state of this market when periodic earthquakes occur?”


“Indeed the earthquake that occurred around the Riyaal market occurred several times,” Roshar held his chin. “To know, the visitors and traders here only stop when the earthquake occurs.”


“Is there any damage incurred?”


“Damage? Surely exists. What's up?”


“The four of us are traveling to stop this earthquake,” Sara said. “Many people assume that this is related to magic.”


“Oh, yes?” said Roshar “Kurasa Raja Endan finally made the decision to stop this earthquake.”


Uzan smile. “We feel grateful that you provided a special horse for us to travel.”


“Sales of horses is our duty. So, it is a common thing.”


A momentary silence occurred between the three of them. Roshar whistles – whistles while looking at the – people who made transactions on their Instal. Indeed, since the periodic earthquake that occurred in Kastala, its customers are reduced.


“By the way – says, you said that this has to do with magic, right?” Roshar. “There is a young witch girl who lives there. He really wants to stop this earthquake any way.you can put it in the group if it takes.”


Roshar showed Direction with his finger down the street in the market. Uzan and Sara follow the direction of Roshar's view.


“So morning, he just passed by here and said that he lives in a small settlement over there. All I know about him is that he is a witch.”


After a while, Edgar and Dubal came with the gold-tailed horse in his chariot. Edgar rode the horse. “Prepair is done, Uzan.”


“Now – the goods have also entered into the Kencana” train, Dubal said as he opened the door of the badass train.


“Thank you for the information, Mr. Roshar,” said Uzan. “We'll go now.”


“Due to this periodic earthquake, our customers become reduced,” Roshar smiled. “I hope that you guys finish your task soon to ease this earthquake.”


Edgar immediately rode Trez, the golden-tailed white horse. Uzan, Sara and Dubal enter the carriage. After the horse was driven, the prince and his friends immediately moved away from the horse shop.


“This is very profitable,” Roshar grinned. “Even the prince did not know that the horse was stolen from Igardias.”


The horse dealer went back to the stables to take care of the other customers.
