When you go North from the city Yucca, you'll find a tall mountains on the horizon, passing this mountain by following the road will lead you to a town called Flambeau, its essentially not that different from a city, just a lot more smaller in comparison.
With just walking, it would take atleast a day to get to Flambeau, that is if theres not a single hindrance on the way, along the roads, theres an occasional resting spot for travelers, it has a sitting bench, and a place to lay down away from the sunlight, theres also an unlit lantern hanging on one of the wooden bar, just in case if someone were to sleep at night at this place.
It took Kyne a day to get to the town, he decided to sleep at one of the resting place, theres no pillow or any mattresses, but Kyne ended up sleeping comfortably with his coat, its quite effective for absorbing the cold of the nignt, before he went to sleep he lit up the hanging lantern with small fire magic, its going to last enough until tomorrow, Kyne hoped that no monsters or spirit will appear out of nowhere while he was sleeping
.
.
After getting enough sleep and continuing the journey, Kyne finally arrived after another 7 Hours of walking, it is now almost evening, at the town he could see that it is also surrounded with walls, shorter than the ones in Yucca, but its still very effective at fending off against wild animals and monsters.
Just like the cities, this town also had an entrance fee with the same rule, with the difference being its relatively cheaper cost.
There's a couple of carriages that is seen entering the town, they're most likely a merchant that just left from Yucca aswell, among the not so many people in line, Kyne also joined and waited for his turn.
"Next" - Guard
"Name and Reason of Visit?"
"Here." - Kyne
He showed the guard his Detective card, it contains his full name, Kyne Rowenn, and a statement that confirmed his identity as a member of the Crime Management, the guard responded with a simple nod, he lets Kyne inside without having to pay the fee.
Inside the town, Kyne walked for a while, stopping at a nearby food stall to fill his stomach, after having his stomach full, he goes further inside until he was almost at the middle, at this point he had already seen most of the buildings and store, there's not really a new store, he thought that its understandable.
"Hmm, maybe here.."
Kyne stopped at a building larger than the ones surrounding it, theres a flag being put at the top of the door, aswell as an iron shield sign that says "Adventure".
Yes, it is infact the Adventurer's Guild building of Flambeau, Kyne slowly opened the door inside without hesitation, he saw a crowded space filled with Adventurers drinking, eating, and conversing with one another, there is a group of party, and then there is a lone wolf that preferes solitude rather than teamworks, Kyne didn't care about them though, as his reason for coming here is different from just seeing Adventurers living their life.
He walked to the receptionist counter.
"Hello!, is there anything i can help?"
The receptionist greeted Kyne.
"I'd like to collect the newest information around the kingdom." - Kyne
After showing Kyne's identification card to the receptionist, he immediately allowed to get into the second floor, which is the place where private matters and business happens.
Kyne got guided by the female receptionist to the second floor, where there are multiple doors that leads to different rooms, he entered the room that says "Office" and inside, he met with the cold looking and full of scars Guildmaster, Haiden, hes sitting in his chair, infront of him is a table that had a lot of paper being stacked ontop of eachother, with a writing feather and ink at the side of it.
"..."
"Welcome, detective" - Haiden
"Im sorry for the intrusion, my name is Kyne Rowenn" - Kyne
Haiden offered Kyne a seat at the couch beside him, which Kyne gladly take.
"Nice to meet you, im Haiden, the guildmaster, I heard you want to know the newest information around the kingdom?" - Haiden
"Yes, and i'd prefer an information regarding incidents or crimes." - Kyne
"Hmm, i'll have to see about that, but you know how our information networking works right?" - Haiden
"Yes, i've heard that at each Adventurer's Guild located in the city will have a squad full of carriers that will bring news and information to nearby towns, i've seen a couple of them when i was working at the Crime Management in Yucca" - Kyne
"Ah i see you're from Yucca.. I suppose you also know about the delays right?" - Haiden
"Yes, since the carriers have a limited speed, it needs time for the carriers to arrive at each locations, making the news or information to be delayed, not to mention about the risk of the carrier being attacked by something or someone." - Kyne
"That's right, if there is an emergency situation like an attack or destruction caused by someone, it would take time for everyone to receive the order, and when the order do arrived, it is most likely that the issue had already been taken care of." - Haiden
"By the way, how long did it took for you to come here?"
"Around a day of walking, i didn't rent or bought any carriage" - Kyne
"Ah, is that so.." - Haiden
"Well, going back to the original topic, i actually have something that might interest you, its coming from the neighbouring city, Dordén."
"What is it?" - Kyne
Haiden then grabbed one of the paper that is placed at the top, he gives the paper to Kyne and commented.
"We just got that news a few hours ago." - Haiden
As Kyne continues reading the paper's content, his eyes seems to be getting more tense and showed an expression of shock, there's something about the news that he was reading that truly brought him a certain bad mamories.
"Im sorry, but you said this news came from Dordén?" - Kyne
"Yes.. And to be honest, im also shocked too when i read that, an unbreakable barrier that couldn't be dispelled even with all of the mages in the city, thats really crazy.. Not to mention the massacre that happened inside the barrier." - Haiden
"Haiden, how long to reach Dordén from here?"
"Huh? Oh, umm, if you were to take a carriage, then i suppose it would take atleast a day, but if you walked there.. Probably around three or four days" - Haiden
Kyne dropped the paper on the couch and began preparing to set out towards Dordén.
On the paper that was dropped by Kyne, there's an information regarding the mass murder that happened in Dordén a few days ago, and theres an image that stood out from the rest, that is the image that was captured from outside the barrier, to which it manages to capture None flying in the sky above all of the people that was trapped.
'She arrived there not even a day later since our last meeting!!??' - Kyne thought
