The Thousand Year Dynasty
14.5. Yvvone Story: Back to the North
"Why are you always that grim-faced, Morra?" Yvvone asked as she and Seigfried walked down the busy street of Yahld that afternoon.
"It's obvious, isn't it? You dragged me around, to a place I didn't want to go" Seigfried replied with an annoyed face. The face she put on two weeks ago.
They were both in the town of Yahld in the western region of Estrinx. Sudab passed two weeks after their departure from the Pharos region. Their goal here was to find a man named Yan. Someone who can connect Yvvone to the group of Eight Guards.
"But what we're doing is for the benefit of the entire Elder Land, you know? We're investigating and finding out, things that might threaten the lives of all of humanity" Yvvone tried to explain.
"Or maybe these are all things that you made up yourself, so you can travel to copy the image with Mr. Nata's strange tool" Seigfried said.
"After all this is done, you can be considered a hero" Yvvone said again, ignoring Seigfried's words.
"I don't want to be a hero" Seigfried said quickly.
"But by the way, we've been going around in circles in this town. Are you lost?" Yvvone asked again as he compared meandering.
Seigfried exhaled withstanding his sense of regret. "I'm not lost. Just leave it to me. You just shut up" he said later with a grunt look.
"Do you want to avoid the two men who have been following us?" Yvvone asked again.
"If you know, why don't you take care of them?" Seigfried could not help his emotions when he heard Yvvone's words. "The basis of the Elves is useless" he added again with more subtle.
"I think he's your friend. And again is it okay to do that in the city? It could attract attention" Yvvone replied calmly. He did not care whether Seigred would be angry or not.
"With you walking in this city alone it has been very interesting to observe" Seigfried said resentfully. "Alright, we'll lure them to a place where there aren't many people" he added with his face increasingly bent.
After successfully luring the two men who followed them into a fairly quiet street, Yvvone quickly cast the wind magic he used to make people fall unconscious. It makes bubbles without air around the head. Before the two men had taken action.
Seigfried saw the two people out of breath and fell unconscious, with a feeling of horror. He had also felt this magic.
And after that it seemed Sigfried began to check the luggage of the two men who had fallen unconscious.
"It looks like just a regular bandit" Seigfried said after removing all the items from the two men's pockets and small bags. It appears among them a small piece of cloth containing eight pieces of Estrinx's royal silver.
"Do you want to rob those robbers?" Yvvone asked as he saw Seigfried begin to stuff the two men into his pockets and waist bag.
"This is just in case. Who knows we need it" said Seigfried indifferently.
"That's them!" Suddenly just as Yvvone and Seigfried were about to leave the place, emerging from the end of the road, three other men who seemed unhappy with the whereabouts of the two of them.
"Capture the Elf" shouted one of the men carrying a rusty sword in his hand.
Yvvone quickly returned to cast the magic that he had previously cast. And before long the three men who had just come were knocked unconscious.
"It seems that your existence really attracted a lot of attention" Seigfried looked to have searched the three men's innate. Just like before.
"Do we really need a lot of money and stuff just in case?" Yvvone narrowed his eyes looking at Seigfried suspiciously.
"Aah! Finally something useful" said Seigfried after observing a wooden slab in his hand.
The wooden slab was no larger than the palm of the hand and only as thick as a little finger. On one side there is a carving in the form of a picture of three trees lined up.
"This is a Sigil. Some kind of sign of a group in the underworld. With this we can go deeper into the network below this city" Seigfried explained. "I don't think the Tiga Dedalu group is still wandering around this city" he added.
While looking Yvvone's eyes began to sparkle looking at the object called Sigil, and an explanation from Seigfried.
"But it seems like I did it myself" Seigfried said again after seeing Yvvone's curious look that seemed like it would cause more and more attention. "How about you go to the forest and take a picture with the tool you borrowed from Mr. Nata, while I find out about Yan's whereabouts" he said later giving advice.
"Eh, that tool will be mine later" Yvvone seemed to be in disbelief.
"Yes, whatever. We'll meet again later in the afternoon at our camp" said Seigfried not mind Yvvone's previous remarks.
"Well, if you say so. I leave it to you" Yvvone replied in an increasingly carefree tone. "Then I'll go first. See you" he said later. And after that Yvvone immediately darted quickly into space leaving Seigfried alone.
"The stupid elf actually wanted to play around" said Seigfried who then walked off the streets deserted and five men who fell unconscious.

In the afternoon Seigfried returned to their congregation on the forest floor not far from the town of Yahld, when Yvvone had just lit a bonfire.
The actual TapI they called the camp was just a small tent and a sleeping bag, between the bonfires. Which was deliberately made original, so that it can be quickly restored to immediately return to travel.
"So how?" Tanya Yvvone then offered a glass of tea to Seigfried who had just sat next to her.
"Tomorrow we'll go to the southern border. To the city of Pharn" Seigfried dissected his speech to sip a glass of warm tea. "Yan was there" he continued later.
"How long does it take to reach the city?" Yvvone asked while giving a package of food to Seigfried.
"Perhaps about a day and a half from this place" Seigfried received a box-shaped parcel made of banana leaves in a rope tie from Yvvone. And then start opening it.
"Too long" Yvvone said after hearing Seigfried's reply.
"No! You promised that we wouldn't travel by flying" Seigfried, who knew what Yvvone was thinking, immediately refused. Even before the Elf girl had expressed her intentions.
"What are you afraid of? Your clothes are now resistant to heat and cold" Yvvone looked a little upset.
"Stay away. I don't like. If you keep forcing yourself to fly, then I won't help you anymore" Seigfried threatened.
"alright, fine. After all, isn't it tired of traveling all day with horses?" Yvvone looks grumpy.
"As far as I am. Already, I want to eat" Seigfried reopened the package of food that he had just delayed.
"Oh yes. By the way you want to see not the picture I took this afternoon? I found a strange mushroom in the forest" Yvvone said, taking out a thin box the size of his palm from his waist bag.
