The Thousand Year Dynasty
06. The Truth
A week later they arrived at the eastern edge of the forest of Baltra village, the village where Couran lived. It only takes one more day to travel around the lips of the forest to get to the village.
And also for more than a week, Aksa and Nata were wearing clothes that looked small. But they seem to be used to it. Now Nata has begun to speak fluently, chasing Aksa who has begun to be fluent from five days before.
.
"So where are you from? And what is your connection to that strange cloud in the sky at that time?" Lucia finally asked a question that had been her biggest mystery for the past ten days.
They were resting in the woods that afternoon. And according to Lucia, now is a good time to pursue this. In addition to those who are familiar and have begun to speak fluent languages, also because another day they may be separated.
"Weird cloud?" Aksa doesn't seem to understand.
"Perhaps what is meant is that Dimensional Portal" Nata said trying to explain.
"Oh that. Right, we are actually messengers of the gods to uphold the virtues in this world," Aksa replied later.
"REally?!" Lucia, Jean, and Couran almost shouted at the same time.
"Stop, Aks. Nope. We are not messengers of the gods. Don't believe the boy's nonsense," Nata interrupted, making the faces of Lucia, Jean, and Couran look relieved, disappointed and also irritated at the same time.
"So now take me to the Legendary Relic that I have to unplug," said Aksa who is now starting to be ignored by others.
Nata shook his head to look at Aksa's behavior, but after that his face turned more serious. It was as if he was seeking Aksa's approval with his gaze. Aksa then nodded as if giving permission.
"So actually, we're both from another planet. In short, we were accidentally thrown here with our own experimental device" Nata said.
"Blame who?" sela Aksa who responded to the cynical gaze by Nata.
"Planets?" Lucia doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word.
"I mean the other world" Nata said.
"Another world?! So it's true, Mr. Couran," said Lucia, who appeared to distrust the two young men from another world. Because he had previously thought that Aksa and Nata had just misused the transfer magic and ended up unlucky in the land of Pharos.
"So you came here using some kind of transfer magic? Or summoning magic?" This time Couran who looks very curious, because his conjecture all this time turned out to be true.
"No, we can't use magic. We use science" Nata explained again.
"Can't do magic? Where is there anyone who cannot magic in this world? Even Getzja can still do it to recover. And which science can move humans from another world?" This time it was Jean who seemed to be in disbelief. It was as if Nata was playing a trick on him.
"Well, one day your civilization will also arrive at a time where science is a new form of magic" Nata lightly replied.
"Our current civilization? So do you have a more advanced civilization than our current one?" Looks Couran asked with new enthusiasm again.
"Yes, because we do not fully understand and know about the civilization of this world, so it might be like that," Nata replied lightly, which made Couran begin to be filled with his own wild conjecture.
"So you can believe no, but that's the truth" Nata added later.
"And then, what will you do after this?" Lucia asked despite looking still full of doubts.
"Let's go, maybe we'll figure out a way to get back to our world" Nata replied later. "So once you know the truth, then it's not strange anymore right, if I want to ask about the general things of this world?"
"So first of all, where did you hide the Legendary Relic, that?" sahut Aksa before Nata could continue his speech.
"Remember him" Nata quickly replied. "So does this land called Elder really have a kingdom?" tanyanya.
"That's right," replied Couran quickly.
"The northern mainland is divided into three kingdoms. The kingdom of Estrinx in the east, the Kingdom of Cilum was dissolved, and its largest kingdom was Elbrasta, which lay in the middle of the plain. While the southern region there are more small kingdoms," explained Lucia later.
"That means there are nobles and commoners?" Nata continued his question.
"Yes," replied Lucia again.
"And the kingdom is pulling taxes from the area past these nobles?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why are you asking me that?" Lucia looks curious.
"We're just making sure before we get to the big city someday" Nata replied later. "Oh yes, we want to make sure of one more thing. It's about magic. How exactly does the use of magic work?"
"Are you kidding me? You don't know how magic works?" Jean still does not believe that Aksa and Nata are from another world.
"We're not kidding. Remember, we are not of this world" Nata replied later.
"So in order to cast magic, we must concentrate on using. "not to mention Lucia finished saying,
"Where!" Aksa has already replied.
"What is Mana?" asked Lucia who had just heard the word for the first time.
"Have not been ignored, just continue your explanation, Miss Lucia," said Nata later.
"We need to use flow...."
"Cakras? The chi? The aura? Ki? The force?" Aksa again interjected with a barrage of guesses.
"Not, but using the flow of the Soul," said Lucia who sounded irritated with Aksa.
"Well, the name is not cool" Aksa later said.
"meaning?" This time Nata asked.
"Every living human being always has a Soul flow in their body. This flow is energy that can resonate with natural energy." Replace Couran which explains in more detail.
"Oh, so we just need to move this energy to affect the natural energy outside the body?" Nata tried to make sure.
"Right, that's how magic is used." Couran answered quickly.
"Wow, energy remote control," Aksa said.
"What is remote control?" asked Jean who had never heard the word before. But not ignored by Nata and Aksa.
"Means the use of magic depends on how skilled we are to use that energy? That Soul Stream?" Again, Nata tried to make sure.
Couran and Lucia nodded almost simultaneously.
"It looks like we will continue to use Science only," Nata said later.
"Yes. Much easier" said Aksa who responded to the uncomfortable smiles of Lucia and Couran.
"So Jean, what magic can you cast?" Aksa's turn is now asking questions. This time it was personally for Jean.
"Building magic" Jean replied without thinking.
"Can you show me what booster magic looks like?" pinta Aksa later.
Jean responds to Aksa's request by appearing to concentrate, then turns her right hand toward her chest, and then the surface of her protective metal plate starts to glow a dim blue. Jean seems satisfied to find Aksa and Nata flabbergasted to see a small show of magic that he made.
"Wow! I thought, what is the shape of magic? It turned out to make the iron plate so light blue like that. Does that magic mean to charm your opponent, Jean?" ask Aksa later.
"Pronounce that one more time and I'll make you feel the coldness of my sword metal, boy!" Jean seemed to have no longer held back her emotions.
"Jean!" Lucia immediately rebuked Jean for her disrespectful words.
"Hey, I'm just asking" Aksa said.
"So you're good at talking, you're getting annoying, kid. You'd better stay quiet and know nothing like ten days ago" Jean growled later.
