Mr. Xiao Jun, or he refers to himself as Jun, was a very polite man. he understands our delay because we scheduled a meeting this morning, not only that but he apologizes for causing an 'inconvenience' on our way here. then he guided us to the meeting room. while walking he briefs us about the recent 'accident'-
"You see we were recently under attack by barbarians from the south, the fight was so large that it escalated to a war."
Jun explained, that thanks for the winter season that is near. the barbarians from the south tried to go to the east, where it was still warm even in the cold season, making it easier to survive in the winter. but, several of the tribes that were in their path to the east suddenly tried to sack the surrounding city. At first, it was just one to three tribes that were trying to pillage some of the surrounding cities. but suddenly, the number of the tribes that tried to sack was stacking in the numbers. then a war couldn't be stopped. the war was short because some of the tribes were suddenly moving back to their route to the east. but even so, the impact was large. thanks to the war several cities were laid to ruin, and not only the city but several paths to go to Jin Xianglo city were broken. these made the transfer of commodities and the production of several commodities was delayed. those make many shops close because there are no commodities to sell. and not only that but this accident made people scared to go, they were scared that there were remaining barbarians. these, in turn, gave a significant blow to the city's economics, where it was hard to help themselves, even impossible to help their neighboring cities.
"I Like you to send that item to the central so that it could tread with the empire in the western for their support."
This mission was very important, if we failed this, we just had to hope that they wouldn't wage a war against us. understanding the heaviness of the situation right now, my uncle told mister Jun to wait till tomorrow to discuss the next course of action. because we couldn't afford to just bring this 'item' without having a foolproof plan.
understanding this Mr. Jun, gave us the chance to discuss our plan that night. after being permitted to leave, the four of us chose to leave the city hall. and went to the inn for an intense discussion. several people who didn't join our meeting with Mr. Jun this evening are attending the discussion right now, there was Roxy, Brook, Jacob, Jackie, Ronan, and Friedrich. at first, I thought we would have a long discussion but it was not. it was very fast, we concluded that we should just create another team for this mission. at first, there were several who tried to speak up about this ridiculous idea, but then my uncle silenced them with his gaze. then he told everyone to leave, except for the line. not knowing just what the hell happened, I chose to wander around this city.
from the information that I get, this city should never sleep even in the night. but now, it was nothing but silence. all the door was closed, a place where you could see people actively pouring their gold was nowhere to be found, and not even a single fly could be seen in the distance. the city that should stand majestically in the bask of gold was no more, what was left behind was nothing but a whisper of parent to their child to not look outside.
when I think of such a thing, suddenly someone pokes me. I looked at the person, and then what I could see. was a beautiful rose, namely an angel's pride rose, that basked in the luminescent of the moon. those i could help but took a deep breath, seeing me like this lina open her mouth-
"Are you eat something wrong?"
while giving me an look, if i were a bard that always use poet to said something, and that poet was so dramatic that it rip your ear not your heart, and the most scariest thing is that, you doesn't ask for him to open his mouth.
