The Thousand Year Dynasty
11. Go to Baltra
Later that night after Val finishes making tools for Nata and asks Marco not to be too noisy about Val which could potentially cause an uproar in the city, finally they gathered again at Petemuan Hall to meet with the Star of Fire group once again before returning to their horse carriage outside the city to make camp.
The room of the Meeting Hall building looks like a mixture between a bar and the reception room of an inn.
Right in front of the entrance looked like the reception desk of the inn's guests tasked with taking down the hunters or the mercenary guilds in their task and reward taking.
To his left was a large wooden board mounted on a wall. In the wooden board there are a lot of sheets of paper that contains about the offer of tasks that are taped is not neat but still does not make it difficult for people to read it.
The right side looks like a neatly lined seating arrangement like in a bar, complete with a message table at the right end of the room.
While the group of Fire Stars sat on several tables on the right side of the room. Cedrik called and waved when he saw Nata and Aksa's entourage from the entrance.
At the table sat Cedrik, Margaret, a Morra man of unknown members Nata and Aksa, and Ende who looked very excited. Her smile broadened when she saw Lily's figure.

"Include me Shyam. I want to thank Miss Lily directly, because if there were no you then, I might not have survived" morra's man dressed as a hunter told Lily as they sat at the table.
Lily, Nata, Aksa, and Val sat together at Cedrik's table. While the trio of hunters sat with the other members of the Star of Fire group next to him.
"I'm also grateful that you weren't seriously injured" Lily said, looking relieved.
"This is the part for Miss Lily who had killed three Mystic Hyenas" Cedrik suddenly placed a leather pouch the size of a palm onto the table.
From the sound when touching the table, Aksa and Nata could immediately make sure that the one inside the leather bag was definitely a coin. But since the numbers are not many, their estimate is that the pieces have a high exchange rate in this kingdom. Like gold or platinum.
"No need, I am not part of your group" Lily said later, as Aksa and Nata's faces began to look bright.
"But you killed the Mystical Hyena" Cedrik later said.
"That's nothing. I only intend to help, so I don't need this gift" Lily replied with a smile. Replied by Aksa and Nata with a sour face.
"You're so nice, thank you once again"
"I think Lily has caught Lucia" whispered Aksa to Nata who is still loud enough to be heard even by the person at the next table. Nata nodded quickly approving Aksa's words.
"Do you guys have any more cleaning duties?" Lily asked ignoring Aksa and Nata.
"No, maybe we'll take a break for the week. Besides some members we have to recover" replied Cedrik.
"So are you going to continue tomorrow?" This time it was Ende who asked in a disappointed tone while looking at Lily.
"Right, we've been procrastinating up until now" Lily replied.
"Are we meeting again Miss Lily?" Asked the witch girl in a clear tone.
"Hopefully" Lily replied in a cheerful tone.
"True, we're going to that village"
"I wanted to visit the village, too. Heard the village had unique equipment they used to run their farm. Also reportedly they built a wall on the edge of the hill to prevent it from landslides" said Margaret at length.
"It's called Terasering" chirped Aksa.
"Have you seen him?" Ask Margaret back.
"They both built the wall" Loujze interrupted from the next table.
"Ah, really? Have you ever been to that village?" Margaret seemed to be in disbelief hearing Loujze's words.
"Yes, but it's been a long time. Now we want to go to our old friend's place there"
"Oh so it turns out"
"Eh, since we've had a week off, how about we go with them to Baltra village" Ende suddenly proposed to Margaret with a big smile.
"Take them to Baltra village?" It sounded Margaret was a little interested in the idea.
"True, Baltra village is only less than two days from this place" Ende said trying to convince Margaret. The witch looks like a child whining to buy sweets.
"Is it okay?" This time Margaret asked towards Lily and the entourage.
"Please" Lily replied without thinking.
Nata, Aksa, and the trio of hunters also seemed to nod in agreement with Lily's answer.
"We even feel safer if there are more people who can fight" Nata added.
"Well, I think it's an interesting idea. Alright I'll also come with you two" Axel suddenly said from the left table.
"You didn't go with Mr Cedrik?" Ask Nata later.
"I must stand guard in this city, monitor the information from the Meeting Hall, as well as keep the recovering members"
"Well then, may we meet again Mr. Cedrik"
"Yes, be careful of you on the road, hopefully we can meet again" replied Cedrik later.
And finally Aksa and Nata's entourage resigned.
