The Thousand Year Dynasty
30. Information from Yvvone
The day after Aksa entered the cave Ceruk Bintang, Nata held a meeting that discussed the problems of trade in the bar owned by Pietro.
The meeting was attended by Madron, Dirk, Pietro, and Edward. They used two tables at the very end of the room.
"So far the steam train crossing has begun to be widely used. In addition to the cheaper price of the crossing of the ship, also the time and weather do not affect" said Madron began.
"Small traders have started to move to our trading group, because our costs are cheaper. And we dare to buy all their goods according to your direction" this time Dirk who continued.
"Because to make a market we need a lot of goods. With this crossing, surely not long our market will begin to crowded" Nata responded.
"Some of them have also started asking about making stalls and shops in this city" Dirk added.
"But obviously it will make a lot of people angry" said Madron who looks a little worried.
"Therefore we will execute the strategy that Aksa once told you. Shareholders. We're going to pull them to invest in this land. Such agreements share costs, responsibilities, and income, based on agreed measures. So by doing so impressed we do not want to cut their business" said Nata explained.
"Maybe some will understand. But I doubt the rest" said Madron sounding pessimistic.
"Yes, at least we've reduced the number, Mr. Madron. And again, if this was done by some nobles, and the results were satisfactory, it would definitely be exemplified by other trade groups. And that would change the mindset of the other nobles" Nata tried to convince Madron.
"Our commodities have also begun to be marketed in the north and south. Now that our stuff has started to shift the stuff that previously existed" Dirk continued his truncated report.
"The strategy of targeting the nobles by making our goods as limited luxury goods is an extraordinary strategy, Mr. Nata. The advantage of the very high price of goods that can cover all our previous marketing costs" added Dirk who seemed amazed at the trading strategies given by Aksa and Nata on his.
"Good, now it means that we will lower the price so that ordinary people can also afford it. And making new items again into 'social' goods of the nobles" Nata responded.
"Okay, Mr. Nata. Maybe we can start marketing therapeutic fragrance candles and powder that we just finished making" Dirk said later. It was then cut by a soldier who entered the bar.
"Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt" said the soldier.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ask Madron who looks like they don't like their meeting in a mess.
"I got an order from the princess to call master Nata" said the soldier who looked a little afraid of Madron.
"What do you need to do about it? Can the princess wait after this meeting is over?" Nata said kindly to the soldier.
"She ordered this for just a moment. Miss Yvvone just came. And now they're waiting for you in the meeting hall" the soldier said.
"Yvvone's? All right then" Nata thought, this must be about Yvvone's investigation into the Scion bracelet "Alright then. I'm sorry, gentlemen, but can we hold off on our meeting for a minute?" Say Nata later.
"Please Mr. Nata. After all the princess called you" Madron said later. Approved by others.
"Thank you, gentlemen. I'll be back after this" Nata said, walking out of his chair and walking out of the bar with the soldier.

Nata soon arrives at the meeting hall. Because the building is not far from the bar Pietro.
There were 5 people in the room. Lucia, Orland, Caspian, Lily, and Ivvone were just returning from the north.
"So where's the other genius?" Yvvone asked when Nata entered the room alone.
"Oh, Aksa is exploring in a cave at the base of the Star Shark" replied Nata who was sitting right next to Yvvone. "How are you, Miss Yvvone?" Nata added.
"Shocked. Seeing how this place has grown so much during my stay," replied Yvvone who looked completely amazed.
Yvvone fixed his sitting position. "My investigation led to someone named Grevier" he said later, drawing shock from his audience.
"really? Grevier's brother?" Lucia doesn't believe it.
"Mr Grevier? What was his motivation for doing this?" This time Caspian who spoke also looks as unreliable as Lucia.
"I can't believe Grevier did that. Did the king know about it?" This time Orland spoke.
"I don't think His Majesty has intervened" replied Caspian, who looked like he was thinking.
"From a man named Grevier that's all the orders came from. Starting from Tier's theft order, then the order to kidnap me, and the order to take Scion's bracelet from Yllgarian village." Yvvone continues. That was still responded to with the faces of disbelief from Luicia, Caspian, and Orland.
"It's just a pity, I can't find out who the people with mystic weapons who attacked the Yllgarian village yesterday" Yvvone said. "Well, that's why I'm back. I want information about the king's son" Yvvone concluded, citing his primary intentions.
"Well, what do you want to know?" Ask Caspian later.
"Tell me everything about the young man" Yvvone said. And then Lucia, Caspian, and Orland took turns telling each other about the Grevier figure they knew.
.
"Then, is there any news of those Scion bracelets, Miss Yvvone?" Lily then asked, as Lucia, Caspian, and Orland finished telling her about Grevier whom Yvvone wanted to know.
"Oh yeah, that too. In addition to the northern forest, it turns out that in the forest of death in the far west, it also experienced something similar. It is located in the Elf settlement of the Ghorea clan. Unfortunately, this one is more impressive. The settlement was destroyed along with all its citizens" Yvvone continued.
Lucia looks sad to hear the story of Yvvone.
"Is it because of the same people?" Tanya Nata tried to find the outline.
"I don't know. But clearly one of the Scion bracelets stored in the place, someone already took it," Yvvone replied making the person who heard it, goosebumps.
"That really means someone's collecting Scion bracelets?" Said Orland who looked very restless.
"And who really knows where the bracelets are hidden?" Nata is still trying to find a clue.
"According to what I heard, no one knows the place. Except Miss Stelar herself. He was an Azuar who hid the bracelets after the great battle of Elves was over" Yvvone replied.
"There must be some kind of manual or map that records the hiding places of the bracelets" Nata tried to make a conjecture.
"I know there are no such things. Even the bracelet is almost considered a myth if it is not written in the books of history" this time Orland who tried to answer.
"I will continue to investigate this. But before that can you guide me to see new things in the region?" yvvone then changed the subject.
"Alright, but I still have another meeting at Mr. Pietro's bar" replied Nata.
"Oh, I happen to be going there too."
"Good then, come on, all right," said Nata who had walked towards the exit.
"Oh, and before you go, Nat. Yesterday I received word that Lugwin's plans for next week will be coming here" Lucia said later.
