The Thousand Year Dynasty
01. Collecting Animals
They already expected it would take longer to get to their destination.
That's because walking in large numbers is very difficult to maintain the speed phase. They must be lined long snaking as they pass through narrow fields. Must wait for each other when passing through difficult terrain to pass.
When they want to rest, they need more time to install and pack tent equipment.
It takes time to make and share food. In fact, they need half a day more to hunt animals as additional food. Because the food they bring is not enough for them to eat more than 10 days.
Besides that, there was also a big hunt for Selene to collect animals during this trip. They managed to get a fairly diverse animal. They range from class 1 to class 3. Neither wild nor mystical animals. But that still makes sense for them to enter into the cage train or they lead the way with the group.
"So how many animals have we got now, Mr Selene?" Nata asked as they were sitting around the campfire after dinner.
They were at the southern forest border a week after leaving the Cornelius residence.
"Fortunately every time we do a hunt we always encounter a different type of animal. We now have six kinds of animals, and a total of eight" Selene replied, sitting next to Lumire and Pietro.
"Are they all tame, Mr Selene?" This time it was Aksa who asked from next to Nata.
"Already Lord Aksa" replied Selen who then whistled quickly.
Seen from space swooped down an eagle which then spread its wings and perched on Selene's shoulders. The eagle has a dark brown fur color with a bright red tail.
"Well, an eagle. Are they trained to supervise situations or send messages? Or maybe you can share your vision with them?" Aksa asked excitedly after seeing the eagle.
"Hahaha, no Mr. Aksa, I can't do that. But these Red Tail eagles are indeed very useful, they have very good intelligence and hunting instincts. Which is suitable to assist in reconnaissance and hunting. Just like Popo" explained Selene while pointing towards her wolf.
The horse-sized wolf sat with its tail swaying rapidly playing with Andele and several children, at the end not far from the campfire.
"And do all the animals you tame all have such uses, Mr Selene?" This time Nata asked.
"Yes, all useful. However some are not directly useful to assist with daily activities such as the Red Tail eagle and the Silver wolf" Selene replied.
"Of the Six kinds of animals we have today besides the eagle it exists; the Forest Salamander. The habitat of most Salamanders is in swamps or calm riverbanks. But the type of Salamander that lives in the middle of this forest has a strong skin. Not even a knife or arrow could penetrate it" Selene began to explain.
"It's going to be a long night" chirped Lumire who knew if Selene had talked about things she liked, it would be long and detailed. It's hard to stop.
"It's appropriate that we take the skin how, Mr Selene?" Nata asked who seemed to be indifferent to Lumire's words. He and Aksa were just as interested in Selene in the topic they were discussing right now.
"We wait, because every three months they change skin. And the outer skin we can use" Selene explained.
"Oh, so so. And the others?" Ask Nata again who is getting curious.
"There's a Dodo Bird" Selene said later.
"Because of this bird's large and strong posture. Also able to run fast, making them can be used for horse replacement trips" continued Selene.
"Well, I wanna try to ride that bird. Like in fantasy games" said Aksa later.
"Gem?" Selene asked hearing foreign words from Aksa.
"Just continue, Mr. Selene" Nata asked Selene to ignore Aksa.
"alright. Then we have the Goat of the Edo Forest, this goat has a greater output than the goat of cattle and mountain goats, so that it can be used for pulling small trains better than donkeys" Selene continued her explanation.
"Then****black Taring Forest. The staple food*****this forest is a Black mushroom that is highly toxic to humans. But on the contrary, their black cloves or fangs contain the antidote. Even I heard that fangs can offer poison other than the Black mushroom poison"
"And the Last Cleaved Tail Fox. They are great at finding trails in the forest. Not inferior to hunting dogs or wolves. But the advantage of hunting dogs and wolves is, he has the ability to climb trees and nimbly chase small prey" Selene finally closed.
"Well, that's great. I want to have a companion animal like that. Tigers Beetles maybe? Or maybe a bear?" Aksa's words that Selene immediately responded by frowning heard it.
"You just don't even have a Soul flow" Nata later chirped.
"I've told you, I want three dragons to be my companion animals" Aksa said without caring about Nata.
"Did you hear what I said?"
-
Lucia's large entourage took 4 days longer to reach Pharos' land. Which should be able to be taken for 10 days, now they take almost 2 weeks.
Everyone was amazed when they saw what happened behind the hill of the North Gate of Pharos. Lucia and the other nobles looked in disbelief at the flat-looking streets and did not shake the horse carriage as it passed. Although the shape is more irregular than the stone streets in Kotaraja, but the flatness of the road is much better.
Then the shape of the iron bridge that stretched over the valley of the North Gate and the pulley columns that were still not removed, which soared poking out from the bottom of the valley. Making an awkward scene that people rarely see during this time.
The slaves to the knights looked prnasaran with the pulley poles. Even Nata and Aksa were impressed by what Couran and the others had done.
"Did Mr Couran make this bridge?" Lucia asked while on the bridge.
"Right, Mr. Couran and the others built it. I was also impressed by this result" Nata replied, observing the bridge and pulley columns between the valley.
"And what are those poles, Nat?" Ask Lucia.
"The hole is a tool to make this bridge" Nata replied without explanation in detail.
