The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1865 First Goals

Chapter 1865 First Goals?

After a few days of sailing the South Sea, Minos and Emlyn had used the days to get to know each other better, having spent almost half of the voyage locked in their room.

During the other half, while one of them rested, the other used most of the time to train on this ship, continuing his work to get closer to level 84.

On a few occasions, Minos and Emlyn had dined in the ship's restaurants after trying out some of the services offered to make the trip more enjoyable for the transport company's customers.

Since this ship followed an old route and had a capable, experienced crew, no incidents disturbed them after seven days of travel. On this last day of their journey, they were already approaching the port of Lusmait when Minos and Emlyn finished their entertainment and prepared to change ships.

As they left their first-class apartment, the two observed the coastal city they were about to reach, a very beautiful and peaceful place despite being in the troubled western region.

But the most dangerous places in the west were those closest to the Flaming Empire's border, so the effects of the war were not visible in this remote area of Lusmait.

There were many effects that they would notice if they entered the city. But from a distance, they couldn't see or feel them.

Seeing this place from afar, Minos and Emlyn soon heard the captain's warning about the ship docking and then went back to the area where they had to wait to get off the ship.

Minutes later, they arrived at the local harbor, a place more than three times the size of the harbor they had seen in the Flowers Kingdom. This place had ships leaving for many more destinations than the last port they passed, with ships from the Marine Empire to the Divine Continent.

In the Central Continent, you could take ships from four states to any destination in the Spiritual World. Three of them were in the Western Region, and one of them was Lusmait.

Arriving there, Minos and Emlyn soon made their way through the harbor and found the counter of one of the local companies that offered trips to the Marine Empire.

"Hello, welcome to Lusmait. Where would you like to go today?" A well-dressed attendant asked them.

"Hello, we'd like tickets to the Marine Empire. We'd like to go as soon as possible and in the first class." Minos said.

The man quickly found a ship soon leaving and said. "We have a ship leaving for the Marine Empire in 3 hours. Two first-class tickets cost 10,000 high-grade crystals."

The price difference between traveling within the same continent and traveling to distant islands or other continents was really huge!

The Marine Empire was practically at the South Pole of the Spiritual World, almost as far from this city of Lusmait as it was from Dry City.

Since this journey had to be made by ship and couldn't be made through wormholes, it was a journey that could take several weeks!

Knowing this, Minos didn't try to haggle over the price. He quickly paid what he owed before picking up their ticket and making his way to the new boat he and Emlyn would be taking.

After a few minutes of walking around the harbor of the city of Lusmait, the two arrived at the entrance to the first-class of the ship 878 of this other transportation company.

As they entered the ship, they quickly realized how good it was, a medium-level grade-4 ship!

Not only was this ship of higher quality than the previous one, but the crew was also much stronger, with several Demigods and even level 96 individuals in command.

But that was what one should expect from a ship that was going to the Marine Empire.

The Marine Empire was a high-level empire, as strong as the strongest states in the Spiritual World!

The journey there had its dangers, even though the South Sea was considered the safest in the Spiritual World.

Realizing this, Minos and Emlyn appreciated the fact that this crew and this ship were of a higher level, something that could guarantee them not only more safety on this journey but also better services for both of them.

Having finally found their apartment on this giant ship, which could carry up to 4,000 people, the two soon prepared for their departure and the start of their journey to the Marine Empire.

"What are we going to do there, Minos?" Emlyn asked as she felt the ship begin to move away from Lusmait.

"The Marine Empire is a special state not only because of its level, Emlyn. It is the home of the Sea Folk but also the home of the strongest mercenaries in the Spiritual World.

In the distant past, it was founded as a safe stopover for pirate crews and a home for mercenaries fleeing trouble on the Divine Continent. Eventually, its founders got together and decided to create something organized where anyone could come and go and be protected from the troubles of their past."

In the Marine Empire, hunters and people looking for criminals couldn't go after their targets if they were in such a state. If that happened, the forces there would act against the pursuer, even if those people were doing what was correct.

Because of this characteristic, there were many more people willing to sell their services in that state than in any other state in the Spiritual World, and it was cheaper to hire mercenaries there than on the Divine Continent.

"At the same time, the Sea Folk are the most similar to the elves in the Spiritual World in terms of their role in keeping the world as it is. They are almost as sensitive as elves and are among the beings most likely to join our cause."

Minos added that this tribe was also very influential. "They also have ties to almost as many groups as the elves. With just one member of the Sea Folk, we will access hundreds of thousands of tribes around the seas of the Spiritual World."

The Spiritual World had more sea creatures than land creatures. Therefore, a sea race as relevant as the elves were important to someone like Minos looking for allies!

"But can we really get help? Why would these creatures act any differently than the humans in the Western Region that Emperor Quinn informed of his concerns?" Emlyn asked.

"These beings can sense things like elves. But I'm not looking for immediate assistance. I'm looking for contacts with people who can lend their strength or join us later. If just one member of the Sea Folk agrees to come with me when I investigate the North Sea, that will be enough.

I'll use their testimony to get us the support we need."

"So that's it... I hope it all works out. But I'm confident that we can get help from my tribe. With what you've told me about what happened in the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom, I'm sure the elders will welcome us and listen to your request." She said.

"For now, I don't need to bring any armies. As long as I can get one person from each tribe or place I visit to agree to come with me to the North Sea, that will be perfect." Minos said, thinking about the dangerous journey he wanted to make before the Continental Tournament.
