The Thousand Year Dynasty
13. Preparation Begins
"Creally, princess Lucia is the crown princess?" There was a tinge of disbelief in Couran's words as soon as they finished telling each other about what had happened.
"And the land of Pharos shall be his, and ask you to build a city upon it?" He added again with a face that seemed to be looking for logical things in his question earlier.
"It was interesting" Ellian said later. The Druid woman listened to all the stories of Nata and Aksa because Couran believed her.
"And can you do that?"
"It is possible to plan, so we would like to ask Mr. Couran for help to lend you a map of the land path Pharos once made. Because we'll do a direct inspection"
"Do you really mean it?"
"Yes, we don't have a goal and things to do in the meantime"
Couran seemed to think for a while, and then said, "Alright then. I'm not gonna lend you a map of the land's path. But let me take part in the job"
"I'm also going to take part" suddenly Ellian interjected.
"You sure Mr Couran?" Asked Nata who looked surprised. He and Aksa did not expect Couran to immediately believe and did not think that it was a joke and a senseless thing.
"You don't think we're crazy? Wow, this new thing" said Aksa.
"Because I know, if it was you guys, something like dead land wasn't that hard. And you can't refuse me either"
"Then what's the plan?" This time it was Ellian who asked with a serious looking face.

"Therefore we need craftsmen and blacksmiths to make tools in large quantities" Nata said after he explained his plan to Couran and Ellian.
"Hm, I think I have a solution. However it would be a little troublesome" Couran replied with a slight look of hesitation.
"What do you mean Haldin?" This time Ellian who asked confirmed.
"Right, so we have a friend of a craftsman. He had Atelir the great craftsman and blacksmith on the east coast. Esta city. About 3 days from here. His name is the East Star craftsman union"
"Why do people here like to use the word Star every time they make a group. Falling Star, Fire Star, East Star" Aksa said suddenly.
"For the name of the flower there is also the Star Orchid" Lily chirped with a smile.
"That's because the Star is an important symbol in this kingdom" explains Couran.
"Then what was so troublesome about Mr. Couran?" Nata returned the topic.
"Yes, because Haldin is a very realistic person. He won't do anything if he's not sure it's going to work"
"Oh, it means just staying to make him sure right? Leave that to me" Nata quickly said.
"Alright then I will send him a letter today to arrange your meeting with his three days again" said Couran who also believes himself with Nata. He knew if Nata would come to see Haldin, his friend would be willing to help.
"Alright, thank you Mr. Couran"
"That means now we're going to divide our duties. Me, Val, Huebert, and Deuxter will head to the city of Esta, while Aksa, the lord of Couran, Loujze, and Lily will head to the land of Pharos.
"Why should I go to the land of Pharos?" Sounds like Aksa didn't take it.
"Then me?" This time, Ellian asked.
"really"
"So can you help bring as many members of your Botanical union and all kinds of plants as you have? We will start making a place to breed various plants in dead soil" added Nata then who was immediately greeted with a big smile from Ellian.
"Well then, tomorrow I will return to Noro city, and will bring all my work and members here" said Ellian quickly.
"Alright then, we will leave in two days after finishing all the preparations"

"How was your show going around the village?" Lily asked as they had set up their tent in the Couran yard. It was because the Couran house would not be enough for all of them. So to make it feel fair, everyone makes a tent around the campfire in the Couran yard.
"It is surprising that this village has practical tools for everyday use. And it's all the ideas of Mr. Nata and Aksa" Margaret said enthusiastically
"They are amazing" this time Loujze said.
"That's because I'm the messenger of the gods" Aksa chirped later which surprised Margaret a little. But then smiled when he saw the faces of the people around who did not pay attention to Aksa.
"You will definitely get used to it over time" Deuxter said later, laughing.
"Oh yes by the way why in this village does not have lodging for nobles like the villages north of Estrinx yesterday?" Sela Nata changed the topic.
"In Elbrasta the nobles never stayed in the villages, they would only stay in lodgings in the cities only. And if there is no choice, they will stay at an ordinary inn or make a tent in the city square like it is today" Couran explained.
"It's just because of cultural differences" added Margaret.
"Are you a Druid Miss Ellian?" Ende asked then who seemed to have tried to hold it from earlier.
"True" Ellian nodded.
"So is the flow of the Soul of the plant unstable and always moving as people say Miss Ellian?"
"really. That's because they're living beings too. Their Soul Streams were the same as those possessed by beasts" Ellian explained.
"Is that Druid magic for combat as well. Miss Ellian?" Tanya Nata who looks like she is making sure.
"No, basically that green magic is for healing" Ende took over explaining.
"Is this northern land where people who are good at magic always act as witches and healers?"
"When for a job then, yes. There are only two jobs for magic users. It's to be a witch or a healer" Ende replied again.
"That's because magic is a sacred technique, which is endowed by gods on humans. So the average magic is used for higher purposes among the people. As well as protecting or fighting" said Ende continued.
"In this time of peace, protective magic will be more respected than attacking magic.
"The magic assailant got his position afterwards in society. Although its users are still respected, but it is more because the public is afraid of its destructive power.
"And the rest of the magic that has unique characteristics or does not include protectors and attackers will be placed in the last order in society" close Ende after doing a sudden and surprising long unsolicited explanation.
"You're very excited about this magic Miss Ende"
