Miss Louisa From the Valley of the Wind

Rocky hills (1)

The next day when the sun was still not showing itself, Louisa and her entourage had already rode at high speed towards the town of Rock.

Rock is located east of Hilton, three quarters of a day's drive away by horse-drawn carriage.

Whereas if riding a horse at high speed like Louisa and her entourage did, they need not up to half a day of travel.

But the purpose of Louisa and the troupe is not the town of Rock, but a hill in the village area of Tov. A year ago while visiting the training and trial grounds of the town of Rock, which was in the village of Gers they passed through the village of Tov.

While resting on the side of the road, Louisa accidentally saw a small red pomegranate stone and picked it up.

When she returned to Hinom, Louisa sent the stone to a craftsman in the Gems town of Gordon's kingdom. What the craftsman wrote in his letter to Louisa, made Louisa very happy. Because the stone he found was ruby, which is a very valuable gemstone.

Louisa was sure the place where the stone was found was also another precious stone. Therefore, Louisa returned to the place, which was a rocky hill overgrown with grass between the stones.

"We get to the chairman" said Shine who led the group.

They immediately got off their horses. After he tethered his horse to a tree, they walked up the hill.

"Shadow, can you check this entire hill with your abilities? Maybe we can find something."

"I'll try the chief. But it might be a bit long since this hill is quite wide, while my abilities are limited to only a hundred meters circumference. "

"It's okay. We'll also go around checking around. Light you accompany Shadow. Shine you try to check the west, me and Marco will check the east."

"Good chief" they answered in unison.

They eventually split up.

Louisa and Marco walked together, examining the surroundings closely. Look at the rocks scattered around them.

"The two tried to look at this stone" Marco said, showing a stone covered in moss. The stone is firmly attached to the ground surface. The size is not so big, but sandwiched between other large stone stones.

Louisa approached, trying to clean up the moss that covered her.

"It looks like one of the other precious stones. It's greenish, but I don't know what kind" Louisa said.

"Try me to take the chairman" Marco said.

"It looks pretty tough Marco, got to be gouged"

Marco tried to pull the stone, but as Louisa said the stone didn't even move in the slightest.

Let's just mark Marco first, so that later we can find him back easily.

By the time the two reached the place, Shine was already waiting there. Shadow and Light are not yet visible.

"Find something Shine?" ask Louisa

"It looks like this hill is the chief's treasure hill. Almost all of its distribution contained precious treasures. But for more details we wait for Shadow"

They waited long enough for Shadow and Light to arrive. The faces of the two of them were smiling brightly.

"Chairman, it looks like you can already send a message to the city of Topaz" Shadow said

"I sent a message a month ago. Maybe tomorrow the foster brother will arrive at Rock city. But what did you find?"

"Something extraordinary is on this hill. If the chairman wants to know, we'll spend the night here. I wondered why the villagers of Tock, unaware or paying attention to this rock hill"

"We also did find some land surfaces. When it comes to villagers, the difficulties of life sometimes make the mind dull. All you have in mind is how to make tomorrow still eat. It's so dull to think, maybe if you offer him a plate of food and a handful of gems, they'll pick a plate of food, not knowing if he sells a handful of gems, he'll never be short of food in his lifetime"

"What the chairman said has a point. Not to mention because indeed most residents never receive any education, even just being able to read was only able to be mastered by a few people" said Shine

"That's why I really hope on this hill, so that the kingdom can be financially independent. Thus the basic education program for all villages throughout the Valley of the Wind kingdom can be realized."

"Chairman, so how? Do we spend the night here or go back to Rock?"

"We're back in Rock City. Because tomorrow the foster brother arrives"

"Oh yes chief, there is one thing I forgot to say" Shadow said.

"What's that?"

"About three hundred meters from here, there was a hole whose face was one meter wide. But I'm sure it's wider inside"

"How many meters deep is Shadow?"

"My estimate is about ten meters. But it can be deeper, or it can be shorter. But it won't be too far, the difference is one or two meters" Shadow explained.

"If so, we should be more prepared for everything. We're back in Rock City now"

"Good chief" they answered in unison and walked towards each other's horses.

Soon they left the hill and went to the town of Rock. By late afternoon Louisa's group finally arrived at Rock city.
