EPS 8 Unrest Amidst Spring Colony

Primo William and Dracko enter Spring Colony Headquarters, Dann asks 'Who is this kid?'

Neved replied 'He's Primo.' While asking Dracko 'How did your training go with him?'

Dracko replied 'He's full of surprises, I'll tell you later' Dann introduced himself to Primo followed by the other members.

Dann said, 'Primo, my name is Dann from the Spring Colony Spy Division.'

Natali said 'Primo, please meet Natali from the Spring Colony medical division.'

Neved said 'I'm Neved from Spring Colony's vice chairman and operations division.'

Dracko said 'Dracko of the Spring Colony Exploration Division.'

William said 'Sunrise Defence Division, my name is William.'

Kreig said 'My name is Kreig, I am the leader of Spring Colony and the hunting division.'

After getting acquainted, Kreig started the meeting.

Kreig said 'Dann, your report.'

Dann gave his report saying 'I have repaired the weapons and armour for hunting although not all of them are in good condition due to lack of materials, and tomorrow morning I will leave for the Glory Kingdom.'

Kreig asked Dann 'How long will you be gone?'

Dann replied 'One week at most, but if there is important information, I will return as soon as possible.' Kreig gave Dann permission to leave. Kreig gave Dann permission to leave.

Kreig said 'Natali, your report?'

Natali said, 'There are two more members who can use recovery magic, but the supply of herbal medicine is dwindling, plus many of our members returned home with fatal wounds and ten are beyond help, the medicinal plants are also beginning to be difficult to grow in the normal phase due to the prolonged hot weather.' Kreig's expression was very upset but tried to remain calm.

Kreig said 'Dracko your report.'

Dracko said 'The members who learnt magic mostly didn't show any progress, I sent them to learn recovery magic during the day to sort out what their magic is, then personally trained Primo to practice magic.'

Kreig asked 'How did Primo's training go?'

Dracko replied, 'He is quite skilled, but lacks experience. I will take him tomorrow to explore the spring.'

Kreig with emotion said 'What do you mean to do exploration again you already did it yourself did not find anything plus you are only two, if it is up to Horned Serpend what is the fate of primo?'

Dracko casually replied 'I'll take responsibility plus Primo knows the location of the spring and it's only 10km away we'll be back in the afternoon.'

Kreig asked Neved 'How is the water supply.'

Neved replied 'the water supply is not increasing wells do not produce water naturally, I also agree with Dracko's opinion if there really is a spring.' Kreig was getting more and more indecisive with his decision.

Kreig said 'William your report.'

William said 'So far the Horned Serpend has not been detected.'

Neved asked Kreig 'How did your hunt go?

Kreig sadly said 'We came home wounded, the Horned Serpend's movement is more difficult in groups.'

Neved asked Primo 'Are you sure there is a spring?'

Primo answered firmly 'Yes, I found it accidentally because when I realised the spring was right near me and I drank the water myself, the spring was in a cave the mouth of the cave was in the rocks it looked like an ordinary rock but inside it was very large.'

Natali walked towards Primo and kissed his right eye after kissing him Natali said 'Primo is not lying I saw his memory the spring is very clear plus there is no life there, the location is also not far from where Horned Serpend attacked.' Knowing this, Neved believed Primo.

Kreig also divided the tasks again 'Dann go tomorrow and come back with a Fighter to keep watch if Dracko Primo and Natali fail to find the spring we will sell some of our equipment in exchange for water, then Primo Natali Dracko search for springs, Neved Organise the schedule of the residents tomorrow, and lastly William recruit two members to guard the colony area occasionally you help Neved, so the meeting is closed let's have dinner.'

They also rushed to the hall when they arrived at the hall they all ate heartily with the residents with a warm atmosphere Primo who felt the softness of the meat asked 'How delicious is this meat so soft?'

Dracko replied 'Horned Serpend.'

Primo, who couldn't believe it, said 'Really, Horned Serpend meat is this soft.'

Dracko replied 'relying on livestock alone is not enough to cultivate is also not easy, therefore Kreig and the residents hunt Horned Serpend in addition to eating meat can also be sold at high prices plus Horned Serpend's horns and hard skin can be used as weapons and armour.'

Shortly after, several villagers shouted at Kreig, 'One of the villagers' old men immediately dropped Kreig and beat him, saying 'Why didn't you save my son?'. Kreig was silent as he was beaten by the man. They were the families of the victims who died while hunting Horned Serpend in the morning.

Neved also tried to stop the man who was beating Kreig, a girl desperately said 'Why did you stop him, Kreig should die too, why does it have to be my husband.'

The warm atmosphere became tense, and Primo, who was annoyed that he was only looking for other people's faults without introspection, said 'It's not all Kreig's fault.' The man stopped beating Kreig, while walking towards the man. The man stopped beating Kreig and walked up to Primo and said, 'What does a kid like you know?'

Primo said 'After you killed Kreig, what are you going to do, old man?' The annoyed old man said 'Shut up, you little boy, what do you know about me.' While trying to hit Primo.

Primo easily dodged attack after attack. Primo said 'If you attack like this, it won't take ten seconds for Horned Serpend to kill you.' The annoyed man used his magic to make a wind knife and tried to attack Primo.

Primo said 'Oh first level magic weapon is that all you have?' Primo easily dodged the man's attack. Dracko who saw only smiled shortly after that Primo tried to use his magic in his heart said 'Slow motion slow down' the man's movement slowed down as well as the area around him as if time went slower Primo also realised from the beginning he had used magic quickly Primo held the man's hand The wind knife fell Primo hit the man's stomach until it fell.

Primo said, 'Kreig has done his best and so have the other members. If you think it's all Kreig's fault, you're wrong. You have to change your mind. Don't put yourself in a place where you want to be protected. At least you can protect yourself, your power like that won't hurt Horned Serpend at all. The man said, 'You're talking like you've fought him before.'

Primo replied 'You fought him once and I was almost killed Dracko saved me since then I want to train beyond Dracko even though I can't protect others at least I can save myself without bothering others.' The man came to his senses and so did the other victims.

Primo continued his dinner. Primo asked Dracko for help to recover the man. Kreig unexpectedly rose using his magic to restore the man. Kreig then said goodbye to go rest while eating Horned Serpend meat.
