Cazanette - Testing Hypothesis

CHAPTER TEN - Testing Hypothesis

"What are you six doing here in the hybrid village?" Alnah asked even while still about twelve meter distance away from us. There was a big question mark on her face while she was asking us encircling the weird tree.

"Hey, Alnah! How are you?" Reevahn greeted.

"I am wondering about what you are doing around the hybrid tree." Alnah said.

"Hybrid tree?"

"Yes. That is the hybrid tree. That is the entrance to the hybrid village."

"Oh! Isn't it a stealth control?" asked Reevahn.

"Stealth control? It's not." She ansered and landed in front of us. "As you can see, this is the gate and the only way to reach the hybrid village."

"I told you. It's enchanged." I whispered to Reevahn.

"How did you know that? You are residing in the Harpies cave, aren't you?" Brix confusingly asked.

"Remember, I am still a hybrid. Just like how the purebreds from anywhere visit the Town of Knowledge." Alnah explained.

"Oh, I see. Then, why don't you have any idea of this, Globus?" Brix said.

"We were born and raised in Master Ren's ranch and we've never gone out until you came. We just have little information of the entire Cazanette." Globus explained.

"See, Gaila, they are little 'dere-dere' now." I whispered to Gaila while she giggled.

"Now, I'll ask again. What are you six doing here? Do you have a mission in hybrid village?" Alnah asked.

"Well," Brix started while taking the paper out from his armor. "Gaila, Globus and Granger said a human Purebreed of middle class dropped this outside the palace during inauguration. We went and asked for this in the Town of Knowledge but no one has an idea so that they recommend us to the hybrid village."

Alnah checked the paper but it seems she is confused as well. "I have no idea about this as well. Maybe the Hybrid Chief has an idea. Let's go inside the village."

Between the tall roots of the Hybrid tree is a passage enough for three people to enter but we never noticed because it needs a very keen eye which cannot be affected by visual illusions. We walked on a spiral ramp and reached the tree top. We stopped at its trunk which isn't obvious outside. We reached an arch door covered with colored strings of plants and designed with arching creeping vines.

"It's amazing and beautiful." I whispered with wonder as small glowing lights freely fly inside the tree.

"Why do hybrids reside in a higher place?" Reevahn asked.

"Because most hybrids plant aerial plants for food which doesn't need water." Alnah replied.

"But I can't see a garden or farm. Where do they plant their food source?"

"Why don't we visit the Hybrid Chief first before looking for the place where they plant those aerial plants?" Brix suggested. "Because we are spending more time for the detour than for our main objective." Globus added.

"Okay." I said.

The village consists of straw huts of almost the same sizes. – twice as big as our room in the palace. On our way, a hybrid cat with wings waved, "Hey, Alnah! It has been a while since you last visited here!" "Are you an exceed?!" I said on the back of my mind. I never thought of meeting an anime creature in person.
