The Thousand Year Dynasty
24.5 Antology Story: Bringing in Help
That morning it looked like the horse carriage that Ellian had been waiting for had come as well. Since yesterday morning he has been waiting for her.
The chariot had a shape and motif that rarely existed in the Elbrasta region. The body of the train is slightly higher because of the diameter of the wheel circumference which is larger and thicker than the many chariots that are often seen in the Elbrasta region, even in the Estrinx region.
The four large wheels were still coupled with the position of the coachman's seat which was not in front of the train, but in front of the top of the train, which gave a more majestic impression when the train passed.
And the impact of the large, thick body of the chariot and the wheel was the need for four horses to pull it.
It was a characteristic form of horse carriage from the kingdom of Cilum located at the northwestern end of the Elder land. Half of the land is ice. The train was made to be able to walk through slippery and snowy land.
And obviously because of this, the arrival of the horse carriage attracted a lot of attention. Not to mention the body color of the train, bright green. Which can still be recognized even from a distance.
"How sis? You brought all the seeds I ordered?" Ellian sauteed as soon as he saw someone coming out of the horse carriage.
"You know, my dear sister? It took three weeks for Herico to come here, and the first thing you asked was the seeds?" Said a woman with a high body posture, get off the train. Her hair was covered with a thin lace cloth to the left of her eyes. It was dark green in tune with the color of the thick hairy robe she wore.
Although she looked much younger, the woman was the elder brother of Ellian.
"Sorry, come to my tent, I have the right herbal drink for you. It was drunk after a long trip" said Ellian taking her older sister into her tent.
"Actually what are you doing in a weird place like this, El? To the point of having to share the camp with the old group of bangka" said the brother when Ellian had finished brewing herbal tea in his tent.
"Don't start it, brother. You haven't seen each other in a long time, have you? Don't you miss her at all?" Said Ellian this time while sipping tea in front of the woman.
"Would never be. Back to my question, what are you doing in this place? Even bringing all your members and work from Noro here?" Said the woman while sipping tea in her glass and then closed her eyes for a moment, seen enjoying it. "Even Couran to be able to invite the old man to participate? There must be something going on" the woman added afterwards.
"It's true, as I mentioned in my previous letter, that we're working on a job plan"
"And you promised to explain everything as soon as I got here" said the brother as he put his tea glass.
"really. That's because this story won't sound reasonable if I tell it in the mail" said Ellian who followed the laying of her tea glass.

"Have you started to get affected by Couran's wrong way of thinking? How could you agree to join this senseless plan?" The woman raised her tone, after hearing Ellian's story.
"I've told you before that Couran sent me a letter containing farming methods, right?"
"Yes, then?" It seems that my brother is starting to calm down.
"So the methods were written by two young men who would build the land of Pharos"
"Only with that do you trust them right away? They could be fraudsters, they might have stolen from someone"
"I know, you wouldn't believe it. Then come with me, brother. I showed you how the other method the young man had told me afterwards" said Ellian, who then pulled her sister out of the tent.
It looks like a building is no bigger than a warehouse, with the shape of a building that is also not much different from a warehouse. But the roof that should be installed tile or straw, is now replaced with colorful mosaic glass that is usually only in temples, castles, and palaces, for the purpose of art and beauty.
Seen the brother was curious to see this, but did not ask. While Ellian was still pulling him into the room.
In the room there are shelves of wood with various pottery pots lined up containing various types of plants. The room was colorful because of the sunlight that penetrated the mosaic glass.
Then on the other side of the room is also installed a pottery container that is made to extend like a gutter with a tool like a box that has a waterwheel on the outside. Inside the container there is water flowing down and then sucked up again through the box that has the wheel.
Above the gutter hangs plants in bamboo tubes that have many holes.
"So what exactly is El?" Ask the Brother.
"This is called Hydroponics, a way of growing plants without soil" Ellian explains. "This box is called a Pump Machine. Its use is to pull water from the bottom up, so that there is a flow cycle" he added later.
"Planting without soil?" The woman again raised her tone. Then touch the back of his hand to his forehead in a dramatic style."For a moment, I need my therapeutic scent" he added later while looking for something from under his cloak.
"Have not gone overboard" said Ellian with a lazy face looking at her brother.
"How is it possible? Planting on water? Are those people the droplets of the god Dryad?"
"It's a technique used by flowing the minerals needed by plants in a stream of water" explains Ellian who apparently was not heard by the older brother.
The woman walked over and touched her hands on one of the plant leaves in the Hydroponic device.
"And what do you think? Are they growing healthy?" Ellian asked when she found out her brother was reading the flow of Souls in the plant.
"True, they grow normally. There was no indication of any damage in the Soul flow they had" the woman said curiously. "How can you?"
"And because of this I will not think twice to participate in building the land of Pharos. No matter how damaged and dead the soil was, they could grow plants without soil"
"Then the building with mosaic glass like a temple what is its function? Is there some kind of magic to increase the flow of the Soul of the plant?"
"No sis, no magic was used to grow these plants"
"Then what to install? Don't tell me the color of sunlight affects the way plants grow?"
"Not you, they say the glass room captures what ultra it is from sunlight and locks it, its main use anyway, to regulate the temperature and humidity in the room"
Then the explanation of Ellian was cut by Couran who suddenly entered.
"Katarina! Why don't you see me first?" Said Couran who immediately hugged the surprised-looking elder sister Ellian.
