The Thousand Year Dynasty
02. Arriving In The Dead Land
And then their mouths were more gaping when they came to the Northern Camp. On a plain no wider than the village of Baltra and surrounded by a cliff wall it appears some objects that are very foreign to them.
Among the tents erected randomly scattered in various places on the plain that look like a cube-shaped bowl, there were several carriages made of iron. Very large. People have to use stairs to climb.
Take out the asab and strange sounds that can run themselves here and there without a towing horse.
.
On the southern cliff wall there are 3 iron stairs connected with 2 balconies zigzagged up.
And next to it was a wooden platform tied to a pillar with an iron mine. Who were raising and lowering heavy equipment and chariots.
Not to mention the iron poles seemed to stand in various places in the area without anyone knowing what their usefulness was.
Lucia, the nobles, and the rest of the party seemed to be silent at the sight of a place that had many strange and also very lively things.
.
On the north side of the place there is a wooden building with a lot of mosaic glass on the roof.
Seen next to the building, several flower pots lined up on a two-story shelf under a tent that covered it from direct sunlight. Lush green plants protrude from these pots.
Right next to it was a tower like a watchtower but replaced the guard post section with an iron water tank.
Next to it stood a wooden fence as high as the chest of adults used as a cage for caming, sheep, and cows.
.
Looks like Lucia's large entourage attracted the attention of people in that place. They stop doing their activities and pay attention to the group.
Then Couran, Val, and the others were seen coming out of a tent and walking towards Lucia, Nata, and Aksa.
-
They then held a meeting and introduced themselves to each other. Then Couran began to explain the things he had done and was doing in that place briefly. After that they began to make tents in empty places on the land.
And while Lucia and the nobles are having a talk about the matters related to the kingdom, Nata and Aksa are invited to Couran's tent to meet new people who have been briefly introduced to them during previous meetings.
"Include once again. I'm Katarina Ellian's sister. I have been waiting for the two of you" said a beautiful Morra woman, wearing a lacy scarf on her head and a dress with striking green motifs and colors. The same style of dress as Ellian's.
There were 12 people in the tent. Nata, Aksa, Couran, Haldin, Ellian, Katarina, a trio of hunters, and her aunt Go. Then Val and Lily.
"It's nice to meet you lady Katarina" replied Nata politely. "And what need do you have to wait for us both to arrive?" Nata continued to ask.
"I want your knowledge of plants and the building you use to build this land" Katarina said without further ado.
"Sister!" Ellian seemed to pinch her brother's waist. It appeared that Couran and Haldin who were in that place were also staring at Katarina cynically.
"But of course I would trade it for the same valuable thing" Katarina added then hurriedly.
Nata just smiled, "well, we will talk about this again later, Miss Katarina" he said later.
"All right then. Thank you in advance" replied Katarina who looked misbehaved.
"Mr Aksa, Mr. Nata, let's say this is our aunt" Deuxter spoke up afterwards.
"Your aunt?" Tanya Natanyang slightly could not believe the three of them had the same aunt.
"My name is Elaine Gobert. But you can call me Go. I'm not their real aunt, I was just a babysitter when these three boys were in Turgis" said one Morra woman who appeared firm and well-built. Even his arm was almost twice Nata's as he shook his hand.
"He was a reliable miner" sela Loujze later.
"really?" Nata looks excited.
"They're just exaggerating Mr. Nata" Go quickly denied.
"We will be greatly helped by your presence in this place Miss Elaine" said Nata later.
"Call me Go" said Go.
"Just Go" The woman corroborated again.
"Alright, Go. Glad you could join us to help us here" said Nata later who felt a little awkward.
"So now how's Nat?" Couran interjected with questions before awkwardness ruined the atmosphere inside the tent. "What are our plans going forward?"
"Before we determine the schedule that we will do, we must make a complete calculation of all the resources that we have after being added to those that we bring from the city and those that already exist in this place" replied Nata who then took out a roll of paper from the bag he was carrying.
"So the number of people here is twenty East Star craftsmen, fifteen Noro botanists, ten miners from the north who came with Go, and fifteen Baltra villagers were taking part" Couran explained to Nata.
"So sixty people huh? And if you plus you mean about seventy people huh?" Nata made sure while still writing on the paper roll.
"Right" replied Couran briefly.
"Hm, meaning this Northern Campground will not be enough for everyone, we will start making additional camps in the southern highlands" Nata said later.
"Consider also to separate the camp between the nobles and the others" Aksa chirped suddenly.
"Oh, right too" looked as if Nata had just recalled something.
"Don't you want this city to have no difference in the status of nobles and commoners? Why do you even want to split their camp?" Couran asked.
"Truly Mr. Couran. But to do that we have to do it slowly. We will wait for them to get to know each other in the next few months as long as they work together in this place" replied Nata, "When we immediately unite those who still have different views now, eating will easily occur friction and problems between them. Just build this land that we make a problem for now. No need to add" closed later.
"so apparently. Alright. After this I will take you to see the southern highlands" Couran said later.
"Why miss, uh I mean, Go? Is there something you need to ask?" Nata asked later as he found Go looking at him very seriously.
"No. Please continue" replied Go then who began to look the other way.
"Alright, so for now the total number of people in this place is a ravine of more than three hundred and forty-four people" Nata said, handing over his paper scroll to Couran. To read.
"A lot also turned out" murmured Couran when he saw the scroll.
