Yana and the other had finished their breakfast. Pan's food never failed them.

Yana looked at Ragha.

"ok then, let me know your patrol result"

Ragha approached him and bowed.

"savior! I'm patrolling from this place till that giant sword statue in the middle of big plaza over there, and I'm finding several things"

He took his breath first.

"people in this district start their day early in the morning. The activity at the market is the most crowded. Many children and old people are sleeping in the side street on the small alley. Also, there's no soldier patrolling in this district"

"hmmm, got it. And what do you find in the town?"

"the soldier always patrol in the area, and there's a thing that i don't understand savior"

"and that is?"

"...maybe I'm wrong but.....i saw an elf....wearing lace clothes and...guarded by the soldier"

"hoo, don't worry. That's an elf without a doubt. How's the soldier treated that elf?"

"they kept their distance and always watched her. Seemed she was out to buy some food and vegetables? i don't get a good look at that. forgive me savior"

"no no, it's okay. Thank you Ragha, that's really a useful information"

"glad i can help savior"

"now then" He turned his sight to Pan

"hm~ what's wrong Yana?"

"can i ask some questions Pan?"

"sure~ as long it's not my private information"

"ahaha, don't worry. Ok then, What's this giant sword statue? a monument or something?"

"ah, you mean sword of light statue? that's our fort and town symbol. That's the sword of our hero, Bar'thiel. The sword that brings justice"

"the sword again.. this town and that monument..i want to know the history, but that will take time for sure"

"yes~~ that's a long story"

"then, move into my next question. Soldier usually don't come here. Is that right?"

"y...yes! people in the town or soldier will try to evade this place"

"say Pan...do you have some connection with soldier?" He stared at her

"!! huh?! what are you talking about Yana? why do we want something to do with them?" She was quite panic

"....i see. Then it must be something extra ordinary if someone from this district want to do something with them"

".....i don't know Yana, i think there's no one like that from this district.." Her voice became small

"thank you Pan, and for the breakfast too"

"sure~ do you wanna go somewhere?"

"yes, we want to take a walk. This is our first time at this town after all"

"take care. Don't make any trouble in the town"

"that is the last thing that we will do" Yana waved his hand

They left the shop. While Pan still stood there and stared at the door with not so focused eyes.

"....why Yana asked like that...."

Yana asked Ragha to take them to the sword of light statue. He walked in front of him and led the way. They walked to the east through the small street and saw the condition of Khal'ard district.

Just like Ragha's report, most of the people there didn't have a decent life like the town's people. Yana already predicted this kind of situation, so nothing would suprise him at this point.

After walking for ten minutes, they could see the giant sword statue. It's really big to the point they barely could see the tip of it. It was really an majestic statue. The details and every curve were telling something to everyone who looked at it.

"amazing. It almost like the real thing" Yana stared at it

"you're right sir Yana. somehow i can feel a little life force from it"

"really? then this is not just an ordinary statue"

Yana observed his surrounding. The place was really crowded and really....bright, compared to the Khal'ard district.

"based on the rumors...should check this wapeer and raven's tears river"

He decided to check the river and headed to the north with Shanti and Ragha.
