The Red Crystal Kingdom
Second Talk

Uzan said, “we already know about the location of the gold factory, Mr. Imnas.”

“But you do not yet understand about Galar destroying the factory,” said Mr. Imnas. “Isn't that so?”

“That's right,” Uzan nodded. “Can you explain it further?”

“Before that, did Fured already tell you that Galar is related to the magical creature Girafan?”

“Already, Mr Imnas.”

“Dan Dubal found out about a magical creature called Rota.”

“That's right, Mr. Imnas.”

“To be honest, I also have experiences like you guys about things related to these magical creatures,” Imnas said. “I'll tell you.”

Uzan and all his colleagues noticed.

“A few years ago, Galar visited Giraf hill. I don't know about where he got his cross to open his portal. But he said that he knew a Silvar named Rota.”

“That he has deceived,” said Dubal.

Imnas nodded, then he continued the story, “By alone Galar came to the region of Magis Girafan and traveled around the area. Previously, he was amazed by the environment he found in the region, but after a long time, his amazement faded and he began to adjust.

“People in the Girafan Region consider that the existence of humans in their region is rare. But after many times humans come to Girafan for various purposes that do not interfere with life, then they also understand it.”

A moment of silence rippled between them. Fured observed Prince Uzan and his friend – who seemed to take the village chief seriously.

“We will return to the story about Galar,” said Imnas. “After Galar made some friends who he thought were enough from among Gulda, Silvar, and Barinza, he went on to get more information about the magical region of Giraf hill.

“Finally, he found a cave called Gulda Gul. The cave has the same name as the Golden Ball Gulda Statue located in the place. 

“Before entering the cave, he brought hundreds of unknown warriors from where he came from. I guess that the soldiers he brought were not just from the kingdom of Oslar or maybe they were ordinary citizens wearing warrior uniforms. However it was undeniable that their appearance was the same as that of warriors carrying spears and swords.

“After that, they entered and found an inscription engraving next to the Ball Statue about the change of humans to become magical creatures and their conditions.

“The requirement to become a magical creature on the Gulda Gul path is to give the statue of the ball an offering in the form of a pile of hundreds of pieces and gold stones that had been sheltered by a Pixi.

“Outside the cave the inhabitants of Girafan were suspicious and caught wet his behavior because the innate soldiers of Galar also gathered in front of the gulda Gul cave. 

“After that, the inhabitants of Girafan attacked the soldiers of Galar. Galar warriors could withstand the attacks of the inhabitants of Girafan and even kill many inhabitants consisting of Barinza, Silvar, and Gulda.”

“Why the residents of Girafan can lose, even though they have magic and so on,” Edgar said while scratching his head.

“I also know about it,” said Imnas, “but the magic of the Giraffans is not a type of invading magic like elemental magic. Plus, the Magic of the Giraffes is only temporary and can only be done in certain cases.

“In addition, the size of the Giraffans also became a factor in their defeat. In fact, in the magical region of Giraf Hill, we have many horses whose heads and noses can be draining. But because of the urgency and anger of the Giraffans, they did not wear the horse and caused their defeat.”

“Alright,” Uzan nodded, “we understand about it. So, can you tell me about the massacre that Galar committed against the people of Sakani Village?”

“I'll call it a small-scale massacre,” said Imnas. “This is because the killing of soldiers committed by Edgar only occurs around the gold factory. Galar rented a large inn that for twelve days was reserved for his guests. These guests were members of the Gulda. 

“When me and Dubal visited the gold mine factory,” said Uzan. “the factory closed and looked empty without any activity.”

Imnas responded, “I told you that all of Galar's friends at that time were magical creatures. So, he used a small green bag to hold all the gold in the factory. How it works is the same as the witch hat used by your colleague, Prince Uzan.”

Imnas looked at Arika. The witch girl clasped her witch hat for a moment and went back to listening to Imnas.

Edgar asked, “After all, what is the contents of the factory?”

“It's like a regular gold mine. Maybe people will feel curious about the contents of the cave in the factory, but the cave is basically the same as an underground cave that goes down and contains rocks - golden rocks.”

Uzan. “It is a pity if there is a golden resource in this village and it is not functionalized and not utilized.”

“That's right, prince,” says Imnas. “In addition, the place was once sheltered by a pixi, so it became a condition of offering for Gulda Gul.”

“How does he contact his friends?” ask Sara.

“Definitely through the necklace Sila” Dubal concluded.

“Master Dubal is right,” Imnas nodded. “Lewat Sila necklace because the necklace can connect between humans and magical creatures in the region of Giraf Hill.” 

“Umm..” Edgar scratching head. “I want to ask, why did you decide to allow royal vehicles to enter here and not ordinary people?”

“Because we thought that Mr. Galar's other friend was a noble, so we wanted them to get a special behavior,” Imnas explained. “In addition, we will also be happy if this village is considered as a village that has the title of royal village because as you know, this village is a big village.”

Dubal and Arika still looked at Imnas with curiosity. “It's too common,” Dubal said in a flat tone.

Uzan holds his chin. “If I had been more concerned about the geographical area that exists in the World of Namaril. So far, I only know about the area around the palace of the five kingdoms that exist in the World of Namaril, not the existing countryside.”

“It doesn't need you to be concerned, prince,” Dubal said. “You just need to learn more and the geographical area can be learned over time.”

“Thank you Dubal,” says Uzan.

“Sama - same, prince,” says Dubal. “In addition, I also have another suspicion about the sila necklace used by Galar to contact. With whom he was related, whether he finally got a companion in the form of a friend from the Gulda, Silvar, or Barinza from Giraf Hill in order to achieve his goal of stealing gold in this village.”

I'll explain further, Mr. Dubal.” Imnas. “Before that, will any of you be able to heal my arm?” Fured standing. “I just got into a horse accident and fell into a crush before coming here. I still feel pain because of that.”

“I can do it, Mr. Imnas,” Sara said with a smile.

Sara stood up from her seat and approached Imnas. “Thank God we're all better.”

Before Sara touches Imnas' arm. The village chief stood up, turned around, and immediately grabbed Sara by the neck with his arm. After which, he took out a dagger from his pocket.

Uzan and the others stood dumbfounded when they saw Sara being strangled by Imnas. Fured was also just standing next to the village chief as if supporting that.

Sara was still struggling to escape. But the girl slowed herself down and stopped her attempt to escape when the tip of the dagger was brought near Imnas to her neck. 

“If you want this girl to be free, you have to give me the Sila necklace that you got,” Imnas said in a threatening tone.

“If not,” Fured continues. “He will die.”
