The Great War of Rhodesia

21. Old Friend IV

And in the end the entire Yvvone troupe followed Aksa and Nata to the Trava Mines.

They use the Steam Train whose track has just been completed.

In the middle of the trip they had talked about people who were looking for Scion's bracelet.

"So you think the people who tried to collect Alta Larma had something to do with the current situation of the Elbrasta kingdom?" murrel asked as they were having tea in the carriage.

"My guess is the situation in the kingdom was deliberately made to always be in chaos by the same people who were collecting Scion's bracelets." Nata explained his conjecture.

"And what is their purpose, if you think?" This time Morgana asked.

Nata, Lily, Murrel, and Morgana sat face to face at one table. While next to the table they sat Aksa, Val, Yvvone, and Solas.

"Of all the information we know today, there is most likely someone or maybe a group that is eyeing power and power" Nata replied later.

"How can you conclude this?" Morgana asked again.

"First, the chaos in the Elbrasta Kingdom that continued for 5 years was clearly deliberately guarded to keep it that way. Which is most likely to weaken and facilitate when to be conquered." Nata.

"And if my guess is correct about the people who have messed with Elbrasta are the Scion bracelets, it is likely that the Alta Larma will be used to bring down the Elbrasta Kingdom" Nata explained.

"Oh, that's right." It looks like Murrel has just thought of that possibility.

"Yes, if they are the same person, then their motivation is more or less like that" added Nata again.

"That means by referring to that reason, it is likely that we can narrow down the guess of who these people are, by looking for information related to the kingdom, right?" This time it was Yvvone who was sitting right behind Lily who asked.

"I don't think it will be that easy" replied Nata. "Because maybe it's not just the Kingdom of Elbrasta that they're targeting. But also other kingdoms." Nata answered without turning to look at Yvvone.

"You mean like a Land Conqueror? The one who wants to rule the kingdoms to unite the land?" This time Morgana made sure.

"It could be," replied Nata not entirely sure.

"Will the Black Fire war a hundred years ago happen again?" Solas asked no one.

"It could have been worse," Nata replied which made some people seem wary of staring at him.

"You mean?" Morgana asked again. This time I look pretty worried.

"I mean, with the power of Alta Larma that they have in the future, it's likely that not only humans will be affected." Nata answered.

"Elf and Yllgarian will not escape if indeed those people have obtained the weapon." Lily added.

"But that's just my guess. It could still be wrong." Nata spoke again to melt the tense situation.

"But when there's such a possibility, it means we have to prevent it." Ymone spoke from another table behind Yvvone.

Two hours later the Steam Train arrived at Trava Mining Fort. The large entourage was greeted by the Hunter Trio, Go, as well as Helen and Wedge who had arrived the day before

Everyone looks surprised to see Aksa and Nata who came with the Yvvone troupe.

And after greeting each other and having a light conversation, Nata began his meeting with Helen and Wedge about the backup of the Augra Force.

While Aksa with Go, and the Hunter Trio talk about the results of the mine and the obstacles that occur during mining.

While the Yvvone troupe just around looking at the fort and mining.

-

Then after lunch, they all gathered in a field not far from the barracks of the workers. Aksa was about to show the Airship to Yvvone and the others.

"Today the sky was clear and cloudless. But luckily we were in the mountains far from everywhere. So maybe no one will see it" Aksa said, staring around at the surrounding sky.

"Where is the Airship?" Yvvone narrowed his eyes as he looked up.

"From the West. They had just returned from Ulry City. It should be, up to this hour," said Aksa while checking the watch in his hand.

"That's it," said Helen recklessly pointing towards the sky at the far west. All eyes are staring in that direction.

"Oh, what's that piece of cloth?" ask Yvvone who can only see the air balloon from a distance.

"Oh..." Yvvone can not wait to see the shape of the Airship. It was no different with his other group.

.

Soon the shape of the body of the ship hanging under the balloon began to be seen along with the closer the Airship.

And once it was just above that field, dozens of Yllgarian Owls slid down from the Airship in a neat formation.

"Good day, Mr. Evora," Nata greeted as soon as the Owl Yllgarian landed.

"Siang, Mr. Nata, Mr. Aksa, and all." Evora greets. "What is it that's of interest until everyone's gathered here?" follower asked.

"Yvvone wants to see the Airship" Aksa replied quickly.

"Oh, that's how it looks."

"So that's the boat? Then I ride first," said Yvvone who then glided up with the help of his wind magic.

"Yvvone, wait," said Ymone who then along with Ares darted after Yvvone.

"Flying can be envious." Aksa looks to make a manyun face.

"Can you take us upstairs, Mr Evora?" pinta Nata later.

"Well, Mr. Nata," Evora replied as she signaled to her men.

And then the rest of the people who were in that place were carried up by the Owl army. Except Morgana. Because Murrel was flying while carrying it.

.

Upon arrival on the deck, Yvvone was observing the metal pole Tesla Coil at the end of the bow. While the two Aerons his family seemed to be observing the surroundings.

"What is this thing?" yvvone asked as soon as Aksa and Nata approached her.

"The instrument of the lightning," replied Aksa of origin. Who was immediately responded by a head-butt from the other towards the young man with a face that seemed to say, 'didn't I hear wrong?'

"Light maker tool?" Yvvone asked again to be sure.

"Is that some kind of Magic Formation?" Solas asked this time.

"No. Although the pole can draw lightning when it gets electricity, but not a Magic Formation," Aksa replied later.

"So you don't think it uses the Soul Stream?" This time it was Ymon who sounded incredulous.

"really. Using only the voltage obtained as the magnetic field moves, "Aksa replied again with an explanation that was not understood by the others.

"What's really going on? Magic can be created other than Soul Stream?" Ymone sounded increasingly incredulous.

"Try turning this thing on. I want to see it," pinta Yvvone who looks curious just like her brother and also Solas.

"Don't. It's dangerous." Nata immediately stopped him.

"Yes, Miss Yvvone. The lightning strike was wild and could not be controlled" Evora said, reinforcing Nata's ban.

"Have you seen him, Mr Evora?" Yvvone asked.

Evora nodded. "We have to be inside the bridge if we want to turn the device on. Because the lightning will strike people who are nearby," he said later.

"And also the Airship must float above the empty land. Because the swipe's down to the bottom." Helen added to.

"Oh, I've become more and more eager to see it" Yvvone said with a feisty smile.

"We better see something else from this Airship. Have you seen the lower deck?" Nata immediately shifted the theme of Yvvone's talks and focus from Tesla Coil.

That evening the Wedge troops plus the Elite Army and Yllgarian soldiers who were guarding the Trava Mountains region, began heading to the predetermined position of the reconnaissance the day before. They're preparing to ambush the Augras.
