The Story of the Wind Wanderer
The Government Coming #88

The horse-dracing of the royal soldiers seemed to be heard. They looked handsome and cool with iron armor clothes with identical light blue color. They were all soldiers belonging to the Kingdom of Lagarde, who at this time they visited the village of Blissville and met with the village chief. Liam and Altezza were present in front of the soldiers who could not be seen with their faces because they were covered in armor and iron helmets.

The village of Blissville is very crowded today, due to the arrival of the honorable soldiers from the royal capital. They came to solve the problems that befell the village. Liam as the village chief welcomed their arrival very well and warmly, even the villagers also seemed pleased with the presence of the soldiers.

A man in a light blue robe approached, riding on a pure white horse, walking among the soldiers. There was no crown, but Altezza's eyes were familiar with the figure of the man who had now descended from his horse and stood right in front of him.

"Good day, Yan-*ekhem* ... Altezza and Mr. Liam." The reddish-brown and white-skinned man looked a little nervous, even coughing once in the middle of his words which he then instantly erratied.

Altezza smiled and felt relieved because the agreement he wrote in the letter he sent yesterday was well executed, even though the man in front of him almost slipped when calling himself.

"My name is Ethan. My arrival to this village is in accordance with a warrant given by His Royal Highness Prince Xavier and approved by Her Majesty Queen Freya" said Ethan, while taking a large enough roll of letters from a bag hanging on the saddle side of his horse, and read out the contents of the letter.

"Prince Xavier has received reports of problems caused by abandoned mining projects owned by the Kingdom of Lagarde, and he sent us here to resolve them."

Liam seemed to smile at what the man named Ethan said. Good news, because the problems experienced by his village will soon be resolved. Ethan had not finished reading the letter, he continued reading it.

"Almost first written by Prince Xavier, we will complete the slack that befell the village of Blissville with the shortest tempo. Second, we will not return until the problem has not been resolved. And thirdly, we will guarantee the comfort and peace of this village" Ethan said, then looked and smiled at Altezza and Liam who were in front of him after the last sentence he read was finished.

Liam seemed very happy to hear a lot of good news during the day. The man bowed his head before Ethan and said, "please help, thank you."

Ethan responded by saying, "get your head up, Mr. Liam. And save your gratitude for Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince," with an engraved smile. Ethan glances at Altezza, before looking back at Liam as he raises his head.

Liam, Altezza, and Ethan walk through the forest located close to the village of Blissville. Not only the three of them, there were about five to seven soldiers who were accompanying their security. Arriving at the mouth of the cave, the three of them walked into the dark cave slowly.

The structure in the cave is very clear, and almost entirely colored granite rocks . Liam was stunned to see granite rocks that looked shiny when exposed to light from Ethan's wand. The color and pattern of granite rocks stored in the cave also vary, from gray, red, brown, to black.

"Initially we intend to manage the natural resources in this cave, only there are some crucial obstacles that then make us stop the mining project by force." Ethan seemed to speak as he walked through the various glistening granite faces with an average smooth surface inside.

"What happened?" altezza asked, walking beside Ethan towards the deep darkness of the cave.

"Local residents did not approve of our plans, and disturbed most of our mine workers, even injuring them" Ethan said.

Ethan then stopped his steps when he was in the deep enough part of the cave. The man pointed his staff forward, and then slowly the light on his staff grew brighter, revealing thousands of sleeping bats hanging on top of the cave.

"Are they really the ones who attacked the settlement and destroyed your farm?" ethan asked Liam who was standing next to him.

Liam nodded and replied, "yes."

"What did you do to those bats?" altezza asked, looking at the trusted man of the Kingdom of Lagarde and immediately asked, "you don't think about destroying them, do you?"

"Of course not" replied Ethan casually, lowering his wand back down, before moving out of the cave.

"By cleaning this place of the mining goods is probably the best step, because of course it will make them comfortable in their own homes," ethan spoke when he reached the mouth of the cave again, and then turned off the light on his wand with just one small swing.

Ethan folded his arms over his chest, and looking at how big the cave was from the outside, "there were soon three sorcerers from the kingdom to come, and they would clear it all," said talking.
