EPS 5 Spring Colony Movement

On the morning of Spring Colony, Krieg, the higher-ups and some of the residents gathered in the hall. In a firm tone, Krieg began his speech, 'Good morning, Spring Colony.' The residents and members eagerly replied, 'Good morning to all of us!'

Krieg continued, 'I announce that Spring Colony is running low on water and medical supplies.' The residents began to worry. Realising this, Krieg said, 'The residents need not worry because there is already a way out. We will hunt more Horned Serpents to sell them to Glory Kingdom to buy water supplies. Therefore, I have divided the tasks to be completed today. Firstly, I need twenty people to come with me to hunt six Horned Serpents. Secondly, Neved made sure the amount of water could last and took full control of the water needs. Thirdly, Dracko trained the villagers to use cores. Fourth, Harpy maximises the growth of herbal medicine and teaches the villagers recovery magic. Fifth, Dann please repair the equipment in the warehouse and check the livestock occasionally. And finally, William, where did you go yesterday?'

William, the centaurs guarding Spring Colony at sunrise, replied, 'I'm following the Horned Serpents. Their movements are uncharacteristic, they seem to be monitoring our colony's movements. Moreover, Horned Serpents usually attack anything in front of them, but yesterday they decided to retreat when I followed them. It went into the desert and I lost track of it.'

Krieg asked again, 'Where did Steven go?'

William replied, 'He always goes to bed after a task.'

Krieg, who understood William's explanation, gave orders to guard and patrol the area around Spring Colony. Krieg then announced the dissolution of the meeting and thanked everyone and wished them well.

Everyone dispersed and prepared to carry out their orders. Krieg was approached by Neved and Dann. Neved asked, 'Did any signs of the Dragon Horned Serpent appear?'

Krieg replied, 'I don't know, there is no further information about it.'

Dann asked, 'Does the Dragon Horned Serpent exist?'

With high emotions, Krieg snapped, 'The Dragon Horned Serpent is real!'

Dracko, who heard Krieg's shout, walked over and ordered Neved and Dann to end the conversation. Krieg left, leaving the three of them behind. After Krieg left, Dracko said to Dann and Neved, 'Don't bring up the Dragon Horned Serpent if you don't see any real evidence.'

Dann asked Dracko, 'What exactly happened? You can't rule without a good reason.'

Dracko replied, 'Dragon Horned Serpent killed the Krieg family in front of his eyes.'

Neved and Dann were shocked. Neved asked, 'Why is something like this a secret?'

Dracko explained, 'Krieg asked me to keep the Dragon Horned Serpent and his murdered family a secret. If rumours about the Dragon Horned Serpent spread in this colony, the residents will not be able to live in peace, especially since our territory is in the middle of the Horned Serpent.'

Dann and Neved understood the situation and decided to keep quiet and resume their activities.

In the middle of the desert, Primo heard someone whispering in his ear, 'Celestara, look for me there.' Primo turned her head towards the voice and found herself waking up from her sleep. Holding his head, Primo tried to remember what Celestara was. Primo realised that Celestara was a secret project. He got up from his bed and rushed to find Neved. Primo asked a neighbour about Neved's whereabouts, and the neighbour told him that Neved was in the area of the well at the end of the road.

 well at the end of the road. Primo rushed towards Neved. Primo met Neved and said 'can we talk for a moment? I have something to ask you.'

Neved stopped what he was doing and invited him to talk in a field not far from the well. Once there Neved said 'what do you want to ask Primo.'

Primo asked 'What do you know about Celestara?'

Neved with a shocked expression replied 'How do you know Celestara?'

Primo said 'I remember Celestara after I dreamed of someone whispering the word and I remember before I moved here on earth netizens discussed the Celestara Project, where a habitable place there is abundant natural wealth, do you understand the location of Celestara?'

Neved replied 'I only understand as you say but maybe Kreig has a little more information about Celestara, but before that practice your magic with Dracko in the training area.'

Primo asked 'Who are Kreig and Dracko?'

Neved replied 'Kreig is the leader of this colony, Spring Colony to be precise, and Dracko is the battle magic teacher as well as the leader of the exploration area.'

Primo asked 'Where is the exploration area?'

Neved replied 'Just follow this path and you will arrive.'

Primo rushed to the training area.
