The Red Crystal Kingdom
Calling Edgar

After a conversation with the Queen, Uzan visited the training grounds of the Palace's warriors.

Uzan walked on horseback through the settlement. Actually he had been traveling around the settlement with Istandi since the third day of the earthquake, but he was still amazed – surprised by the adverse effects caused by this strange disaster. The prince did want to visit Edgar immediately at the training grounds of the Palace warriors. However he did not feel the need to hunt – and set aside time to see the state of the citizens around.

The residents' settlements look damaged and destroyed. Some healers are healing wounds – existing wounds. Some soldiers also drove residents to evacuate to – evacuation sites that have been built by the magicians and soldiers of the Palace.

While passing through the settlement, Uzan also had time to find out some residents who stole – stole a look at him. He himself was used to being looked at like that because he was a prince.

While on the way, Uzan saw from a distance a resident who complained to a witch in ash robes – ash and two soldiers to rebuild the house – damaged house. But the witch expressed her incompetence because the king's decree requires that residents evacuate to the – places available for refuge. After that, the residents protested again while shouting at the witch and saying various kinds of oaths. Eventually, the two soldiers captured the citizen.

Actually the prince wanted to visit some citizens out of pity, but he had to hand this over to the soldiers who had been assigned by his father. He did not want to act heroically until – to defend the citizen because indeed the citizen was clearly wrong and had to account for his actions.

He's sure. It was not a heroic act.

It is true, said his father. Not all citizens comply with the palace's rules.

After a while, Uzan arrived at the field where the soldiers were training.

There, he saw the soldiers who were training. Some of them were swords and spears. Some of them rode. And some of them are also warming up by moving – move their bodies or running around the field.

Uzan knew that some soldiers were also on duty to help the residents of the settlements around the Palace because the number of soldiers who were in the field was not as much as usual.

When Uzan entered the field, several soldiers bowed respectfully. Uzan also replied with a nod. After walking – streets for a moment, he sat on a bench near the field and called out a soldier.

“What's the matter, prince Uzan?” ask the soldier.

“Call Edgar!”

The soldier nodded and immediately walked into the field to look for Edgar. Uzan knew that the Soldiers in Kastala knew Edgar's name because other than he was his friend, he was one of the strongest Palace warriors. Almost all the soldiers knew him.

After a long wait, Uzan visited Edgar who approached him while running small. The soldier had messy brown hair and was wearing a typical soldier's ash armor.

“Prince Uzan, what's up?” greet Edgar. Uzan smiled and greeted in a relaxed tone, “Call me Uzan only, Edgar!”

“Alright,” said Edgar while chuckling, “you don't usually call me here.”

“I got word from dad on how to recover this earthquake.”

“Really?” said Edgar. “So, what is the reason for this earthquake?”

“The cause has not been found,” Uzan sighed, “but the solution has been found.”

“Good!” edgar said, “This earthquake is very detrimental to residents. Especially the Palace's defense. This is because soldiers cannot train in full because there is a certain time – the soldiers must help the citizens. Not that I protested about it, but the soldiers would not be able to focus themselves on training. Umm...so, how is the solution?”

“Alright,” Uzan start explanation. “We must collect Material to recover this calamity.”

“It was thought that this was a witch,” Edgar was sitting next to Uzan. Then, he sat down while looking at the sky. “Do the Palace witches not know?

“Maybe,” says Uzan, “but I don't know for sure. We are also not in the palace. It is likely that he is looking for the cause of this earthquake.”

“So, the soldiers should also be ready to go collect magical materials?”

“You mean?” Edgar turned to look towards Uzan.

“Dad sent me to go collect Magical Materials as this task and I was allowed to invite two to four friends.”

“So, you're here to take me?” edgar asked in disbelief.

Uzan nodded. “That's.”

“Of course I want,” Edgar clapped his hand and started saying in a joyful tone, “That's for sure! I also cannot bear to restore the state of this kingdom. Who else?”

“Actually I want to take Rena. But Rena is currently busy because she is one of the higher-ups of the witch and healer section. So, I'll take Sara.”

“Sara and Rena huh? you're very sentimental. You brought two of your childhood friends”

Uzan shrugged his shoulders as he said, “Maybe.”

“Means Rena has crossed you, right?”

“Honey once,” said Uzan in a disappointed tone. “While Rena's water element magic can be very useful to complete this mission.”

Edgar holds his chin. “Does this earthquake have nothing to do with earth magic? In a way, the earthquake is related to the ground.”

“No, Edgar.” Uzan shook his head, “Rena said that this has nothing to do with earth element magicians.”

“Any once,” Edgar sighed in annoyance, “Usually if an earthquake has something to do with the ground.”

Uzan concluded, “I did not know about the ins and outs of magic. If the task is to collect material – magical material, I conclude that this is not ordinary magic.”

“Alright,” Edgar scissors. “Rena has definitely been busy because she is a top brass. If it was Sara, she was a Healer. It is not a Palace Healer. But you know, that blonde girl couldn't get away from her dad. Moreover, the residents are also being affected by the disaster, surely he is also very concerned.”

“I know it, Edgar,” says Uzan, “but I am sure he will want to play a role in order to restore this state.”

“Of course!” said Edgar. “I will also add to my warrior experience.”

Uzan praises Edgar, “I'm sure that you are a strong warrior.”

“I do feel confident with my strength now,” said Edgar, “But I want to be more experienced like Mr. Rowan.”

Uzan nodded, “I've expected.”

Edgar gazing at the sky – sky. “All the soldiers here are modeled after Mr. Rowan, he is very strong”

“So, this is your chance.”

“Alright,” said Edgar, “We will persuade him and tell the blonde girl about how severe the impact of this disaster was to the citizens.”

“Hei..” says Uzan by pretending – pura complain. “Don't be a commoner, I who is a prince is also affected. I mean, I also have to do troublesome work like this.”

Edgar chuckles. “Can you, Uzan.”

“Next we will go directly to where Sara,” Uzan stands. “We will go directly there we will ride the horse to make it faster.”

“Sure!” edgar said as he stood up. “Will I get the horse.”
