The Mystery of The Indigo Valley
Chapter-3
The Collectors Association
As I went through the city I saw many people carrying baskets and a tool which looked liked a very long forceps with a wooden handle. I saw many people having such gear so I just asked an old man having the same things sitting on pavement of a building. He told me that these were his flower collecting gear, the forceps kind of thing that they called inglo was tool that helped in plucking many flowers in a row and then of course the basket was used to keep them safe. I soon realized that these were the ancient flower collecting traditions that I read in a report given by my officer before I came here. It mentioned that some of the flower collectors were also reported missing while searching the east side of the indigo valley. So, I thought of investigating about these collectors. I headed for the collectors room which was at the municipality ring. I was a bit surprised that municipality owned the collectors association. It was a big building with beautiful lawns and gardens, according to the map outside the building, the building was divided into two parts one was the office and other was the store and transport section. After some time I saw a stone statue at the rear left corner of the big building, I asked a man sitting under the building. “Excuse me old man, can you tell me something about the statue at the rear left corner” “Well, stranger it is the statue of the founder of the collectors association Mr. lock.” He said. I was surprised to know that Lock was the founder of the association as I have seen many posters around the city that claimed Windwood’s the founder of the association. When I asked the man about the issue he got mad “Windwood’s are the traitors, they killed lord Lock and claimed that they were the founders!” He said very fiercely. “What do you mean, please tell me more?” “Okay as I do not want travelers to believe that those traitors are the founders I will let you know after all it is a long story….
