Already since several generations passed, this village is still given a gift by nature. A village upon a flat green hill at the foot of a mountain. The region is very fertile, natural resources to magic energy are very abundant here. Full of life out of Flora, Fauna is also a bit human.
The area is protected by the surrounding large Forest, fed by a water source that flows from the top of the mountain and never dries. Flowing from upstream to downstream to form a large estuary.
Rice plants are easy to grow here, so that it becomes the livelihood of the community. Acres of fields and rice fields are created in this village, without affecting the natural balance and environmental damage. Planted throughout the year until all feel the harvest 4 times a year.
Everyone is happy, the people are hardworking and the leader is not greedy, really an ideal place at once worthy of being called one of the pillars of the foundation of this kingdom.
That is what happened in the village of Bengawansari decades ago, but lately the situation has changed. Not because of the raging nature but from the vices of humans who slowly appear and start messing around.
Whether due to the influence of outside intruders, or the problems within this village itself, the nature of its society slowly changed and brought the village closer to destruction. gradually even if left the kingdom also affected by it.
The people who were working spirit became lazy, who had been patient became angry, who had been obedient to become claimants even though the ruling nobles in this region had behaved very well.
Nothing is protested, whether it is misery, a sense of oppression, to hunger they demo unconsciously it's their own work. Taxes have been fairly measured and are within their means, but that is not enough. They gathered a small crowd, standing in front of the house of the local ruling nobility to express their dissatisfaction which was quite pushy and a little indecisive.
There is nothing the leader can do, because after all this is the fault of his own society. Because they become lazy, like to blame others, and do not want to introspect themselves.
This is the problem that is plaguing the village of Bengawansari at this time, according to what lord Arganaya tells us now.
“Sekian for this time, the details we discuss later after dinner. Amelia... Please take them to the guest room.” Mr. Argananya got up from the chair and left first.
“Good... Immediately sir. said Amelia while bowing respectfully to her master. The three immediately got up from the chair and followed Amelia to the guest room on the second floor, while another waiter cleaned the table used for tea.
All three were invited to enter a room, the room was very spacious and clean. Some furniture and cabinets are in the corner of the room with a small bathroom.3 pieces of bed arranged here, very neat and also warm.
“Good rest... If you need anything you can call me back.. Excuse me...”.
After finishing filming, Amelia immediately left to continue her work. Leaving Hendry, Audrey, and Eliana to rest before dinner time arrives.
The equipment they brought had been placed neatly on the table, a little sweat soaking up their bodies. The three take alternating baths and change into casual yet relatively neat and nice casual clothes, quite different from what they wear when alone (More for Hendry and Audrey).
After finishing the bath the three of them just lay on the mattress or occasionally go out for a moment to the balcony to enjoy the sunset. Looking at the vast expanse of golden-yellowed rice, looking aging from end to end, thinking about the problems that occurred in this village, also while contemplating thinking about the ideas and plans they prepared for the future.
*****
Dinner time has arrived. Amelia knocks on the room and picks up the three. Hendry, Audrey, and Eliana went down to the dining room. There Mr. Arganaya and his wife had been waiting, at a long table with dishes that were in plain sight. The atmosphere that could be said to be quite quiet especially for a noble, There were only two hosts and a few servants who went in and out.
The three immediately took seats, sitting across from Mr. Arganaya and his wife. Have a quiet dinner and have a little casual conversation during dessert.
As Mr. Argaraya himself explained, the only child was studying in another city while other family members were doing business outside the city, that was the reason why this residence felt a little quiet despite the small number of guards and servants serving this family.
Every now and then they told the reason why they had chosen to carry out this particular mission, other than because the adventurers who tried before had failed as well because some time before this matter happened, he said, mr. Arganaya had seen them succeed in defeating criminals in the city of Anggresia. So that he thought to gather them and try to overcome this problem, who knows successfully solved.
The last spoonful of dessert they had eaten had been exhausted, The dishes that had piled up on the table began to be cleaned up. The casual conversation was over, now was the time to discuss the main issue.
Mr. Arganaya's wife got up from the chair and immediately left the dining room. After cleaning the dishes, the servants also immediately went out and closed the door tightly. Now only Hendry, Audrey, Eliana and Mr. Arganaya were left in the room.
They all began to discuss the problems that occurred until the details, trying to find clues from the root of the problem that struck. Everyone thought hard and twisted their brains, trying to find a suitable plan to overcome this problem.
Slowly as the night progressed, moonlight entered through the cracks of the windows. They all do not have a definite answer to overcome this problem, but on the other hand the mission must still be carried out tomorrow, so it is certain that from tomorrow they will look for information.
By infiltrating without being noticed. As an outsider who had nothing to do with the ruling nobility in this region. As a C-ranked novice adventurer who accidentally stops by, secretly gathers information, secretly searches for the root of the problem and when necessary.
Whether it is only 1 day or a few weeks, Hendry, Audrey and Eliana promised to try to overcome this problem as well as possible in accordance with their abilities.
It did not feel like for hours they went through in this discussion, The day was getting darker, All the lighting in the village and this house was slowly extinguished. The long conversation ended immediately and all of them involved here immediately went to the room, especially for Audrey and her two colleagues.
They went to the guest room on the 2nd floor to rest and get up early, to start the mission as mentioned earlier in the next day…
