The Thousand Year Dynasty
15. Passing the Dead Land
The Yllgarians were finally allowed to enter the land of Pharos. The knights who had covered the entrance gate, were now split. They accompanied the Yllgarian into the valley of the North Gate.
And no different from the people who had just come for the first time to the land, they also let out a similar reaction. Astounded. Not believing what they see.
Starting from the North Gate valley that is already full of water, iron bridges, iron trains, elevator pulleys, rivers, and waterfalls. While some were things they had only seen for the first time, others were things that should not have been in the dead land.
After arriving at the former campground, the soldiers began to escort the Yllgarians to the far west. Not far from the small waterfall and river.
Then the soldiers began handing out tent packaging for the Yllgarian to install, and to use for rest. Lucia does have a lot of tent reserves. Because previously he had prepared for new people who would join him, before he could build a house for them.
And after that some of the women laborers were seen going down to hand out dry bread and two sacks of soup, complete with bowls and spoons. But having been warned in advance that the food was limited, the young Yllgarians were unwilling to accept the food. Or if he accepts, he will give it to children or women.
While Yvvone was invited to meet with Lucia and Nata, Caspian escorted up to the meeting tent.
Seen along the road Yvvone was busy looking at everything and touching all the things he had never seen before
"Well, for the size of five months' worth of people in this place, you guys are pretty amazing. There was a lake and a bridge in front of the gate. Waterfalls and flowing rivers" Yvvone said as he and Caspian climbed on an elevator pulley.
"It's all thanks to someone's genius" Caspian replied in short.
"Oh, there's a human being called a genius here. Was that person also the one who made the iron tools, strange, that emitted this smoke? Is that some kind of relic or a mystical tool? I didn't feel any Soul flow from it" Yvvone didn't stop talking until the elevator pulley arrived.
"Later you can ask the maker yourself" replied Caspian short again, who did not want to go long with the Elf.
"Alright" said Yvvone as he followed Caspian from behind.
Even so the little girl-statured Elf was still busy running around small towards items she had never seen before, just to just touch and look around her.
Nata and Lucia who saw him from inside the tent looked anxious with the behavior of the little girl.

"Before we answer all your questions, please tell us first why there are three hundred Yllgarians wanting to head south? What happened to their village?" Nata said after Yvvone asked him a series of questions, as soon as they got acquainted with each other some time before.
"The story will be very long" said Yvvone who looks a little upset because the question was not answered by Nata.
"No need to worry we have a lot of time" this time Lucia replied.
There were only four of them in the tent. Lucia, Nata, Caspian, and Yvvone.
"All right then" Yvvone said later. And he began to tell me everything he knew and experienced. Including his abduction and prncture of his Arcane crystal.
.
"A noble knight of Elbrasta kingdom uses a spear? All this time I've never heard of any such knight. Not women or men" said Caspian after se,esai heard the full story of Yvvone.
"And what's more is, Scion's bracelet. That's a very scary story to hear. When the bracelet comes out again. I don't know what the world will be like" Lucia's voice rang out.
"Yes, that's also what I'm worried about. Therefore, after taking this Yllgarian to the Old Forest, I will return to investigate" Yvvone said later.
"Oh, and as for the matter of crossing this land, I think there is now only a heavy route, which can be passed. Because some of the roads we have closed with iron lines as you can see in front of earlier" Nata tried to explain.
Yvvone looks silent.
"Or if you want, you can wait for the line to be completely completed. But it's still about a month and a half away. We will take all of you by steam train to the south gate" added Nata gave a choice.
"What steam train do you mean is an iron chariot that has a long, snaking sidecar outside it?" Yvvone seems interested in this.
"really. Our steam train took no more than two days to cross this land. Yes although it had to wait a month and a half to get to the south gate" added Nata.
"And we can lift three hundred men one way. So don't worry about having to wait for each other" Lucia added.
Yvvone was still quietly weighing, not answering.
"But all of that is back to your decision again" Nata said later, while also asserting that he was not being forced.
"Because this is not my trip, so I will cpba ask the chairman of the Yllgarian group" said Yvvone later.
"Alright, I understand" Nata replied with a smile.
-
"What do you think, Nat?" Lucia asked after Yvvone left the tent. Caspian escorted the Elven girl to the Yllgarian camp.
"If indeed what he said was true, it means most likely, my guess has not been wrong" said Nata later.
"What do you think, Nat?" Lucia had a worried face. Reaction when looking at Nata's face that looks serious.
"That someone is doing a plan. A big plan, so that it can involve many of the big kingdoms of this land" answered Nata began to explain.
"And what do you think his goal is, Nat?" This time Lucia was more curious.
"Eitherway. I can't guess it yet. But I think whoever this guy is, whatever he's going to do, that's definitely going to affect, not just the northern mainland, but the entire Elder. Or maybe even this entire world" Nata revealed his conjecture.
"Is that really so?" Lucia's voice was closing in.
"Oh, don't think too much. What matters now is that we need to be able to survive immediately. Before all that stuff had led to us" said Nata who then stood up from his chair, and began to walk away from the tent. Lucia followed behind him.
