The Great War of Rhodesia

10. Farmland Area

The sun was already parallel to the top of the hill wall on the west side when the Lucia Iron Train stopped in front of Selene's yard.

Just as when he arrived at the place where Ellian had been, it appeared that Selene and some of her family, as well as the old workers at the place, had been waiting for the arrival of Aksa and Nata in front of Selene's house. Even Selene Silver Wolf was in that place, waiting along.

The men immediately greeted and greeted the two young men as they entered the front yard of Selene's house, which now appeared to have a decent fence.

The giant cone-shaped cooling building and the iron tanks that now do not look shiny anymore, still stand at a distance behind Selene's house. While to the west there is a high fenced animal sanctuary area, which now looks overgrown with many trees.

Do not waste time Aksa and Nata immediately go around the ranch area. Now the cattle cages look better built and look clean. While the rest is not too much change except the size and the number that is now increasing.

"So what about the processing of liquid biogas over the last five years, Mr Selene?" nata asked as they arrived at the Cooling complex.

"Now the production of liquid biogas and gunpowder is no longer held by me. My brother is now taking care of it," replied Selene who was walking next to Nata followed by her Silver Wolf. "That's because I can't handle it on my own. Even for some types of commodity animals outside of food is also taken care of by others. But still they are reporting to me" he added.

"Oh, now that you're a boss, it turns out?" Aksa said from next to Silver Wolf Selene seemed busy observing her surroundings.

"It's not. Because basically I am only able and interested in taking care of animals and breeding them," Selene answered quickly. "For trouble; this animal can produce that thing, or it can be useful for such things, those are not my true interests" he continued with a chuckle.

"Yes, I can understand it, Mr. Selene," Nata replied with a small laugh as well. "Then what about your Asylum now?" continue with the question.

"Oh, that place is getting crowded now. I've added a few animals over the years that I know are being threatened with extinction" replied Selene, visibly excited as they began to head to her residence. The sky is getting darker. The sun was already covered in a hillside on the west side.

"And as you can see. Our Botanical Druid group has succeeded in breeding several types of plants in the region to create an environment that resembles the original habitat of these animals," selene added again when they were back in front of her house staring at the asylum spot.

"Druid is indeed amazing" Aksa chirped in admiration.

"Well, thank goodness that's the case. I'm happy to hear it" Nata said before entering Selene's house.

.

"This is a list of animals in the asylum. Along with the evidence." Selene gave the little book she took from her closet to Aksa.

"Well, a lot of it turns out. And also very diverse. But why are nearly seven tenths of them Mystical Animals, Mr Selene? Are ordinary animals difficult to coexist with Mystical animals?" Aksa asked a question. Now they're in Selene's living room. But only three. Lucia and the others were conversing with the others in the front yard.

"Not really. Mystical animals can coexist with ordinary animals. It's just that because there are indeed many Mystic animals that are on the verge of extinction because they are hunted to be used as totems and the like." Selene answered while presenting two glasses of tea to Aksa and Nata.

"I want to see the contents of the asylum. Is dangerous?" Ask Aksa then. Although his face looks doubtful, but his eyes look sparkling.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine with me" Selene replied confidently.

"Regulate," said Aksa still sounded doubtful.

"But you better see it in the morning. Because there are only a few types of night animals in the asylum. And at times like this the average animals must have returned to their respective nests." Selene added.

"For now we are only selling their body parts unprocessed. Usually the parts are valuable for making totems or Mystical weapons and equipment" Selene replied.

"Oh, I see." Nata's speech was then cut off by Lucia who entered the room with the others.

"It looks like we have to get back to Central City immediately. It's afternoon now" Lucia said later.

"You can go first, Your Majesty. Because maybe we'll talk a little bit. We'll be back by Steam Train later. So don't worry." Nata answered.

"You should come too. Cause tonight we're gonna have dinner to celebrate your arrival." Lucia retaliated.

"A dinner for us? No need, Your Majesty. You don't seem to know us." Nata hurriedly rejected it.

"But it is our form of gratitude because you are back. We will also invite others. So you don't have to go around on your own like today."

"I appreciate your intentions and others, Your Majesty. But we do this and want to see developments and situations in every region." Nata tried to explain Lucia's pepper. "And if it just wants to meet, we can hold a meeting or the like. There's no need until it has to be an all-dinner show."

"I also agree with Nata. Dinner is too ordinary to welcome a God Envoy like me. So we have to hold a Festival" Aksa said suddenly. Which made Nata shook his head slowly while exhaling a resigned breath.

"Festival?" Look Lucia made sure.

"Yes, but tomorrow we'll talk again, after we've really finished touring the region" he said quickly.

.

Finally, after a longer conversation, Aksa and Nata's group left Selene's residence. The sky is really dark. And the lights along the street in front of Selene's house were already visible. Which is not only in charge of illuminating the streets, but also decorate and make it look beautiful.

"But, by the way, where are we going to sleep tonight, Nat? In the Central City inn?" ask Aksa who just remembered that their tent is no longer theirs now.

"What are you guys talking about? Obviously in your own tent, you know," Luque said as they walked towards Lucia's Iron Train.

"Corrections. That's your tent now" Aksa replied quickly.

"Just calm down, we made a partition to separate the beds of the two of you with the beds of the two of us," Luque replied trying to explain.

"But even so..." Nata seemed unsure of Luque's words.

"I will not allow you to spend the night anywhere else. Because that tent is your home." Luque spoke normally but with a face that looked like he was threatening.

"Alright, Miss Luque. We'll sleep in the tent" replied Nata looking resigned. Following Aksa who had given up on debating ever since Luque replied to her earlier remark.
