Chapter 3870 Thirteen Months
"What have you heard?" I asked as Zarna and Uhar sat beside us, one of the trendy restaurants on the ship exclusive to the Sky Sovereigns.
"Taurus Whales have covered more area for their breeding than they had first thought. The prime had personally gone to scout; he will make a decision tonight on the route we have to take," she replied, turning everyone's mood somber.
"Fuck!" cursed Karih.
He isn't the only one cursing; I am too cursing when I looked at the map, flashing in front of me.
"Those bastards have to pick this area of the breeding!" said Lilan.
Taurus Whales are herd monsters and usually harmless as long as one stays away from their herd, but they become extremely dangerous during the breeding season.
They will consider anyone dangerous that gets close to them.
The things that made them dangerous are the Primes they have. Yes, the big herds have Primes in them, not one, but several. If our luck is bad, there might be even Silver Prime, which will leave us no chance of survival.
"The journey will become longer and more dangerous if the ship changes the route," said Ayashar.
"It will, but what other choice there is," I said and sighed.
It had been thirteen months since the journey started and it should have ended in two to four months, but if the routes changed. It would take longer, as Ayashar had said, and it would also become dangerous.
I don't mind if it becomes a little longer, but danger isn't something I want.
Because danger here is the Primes, that could kill me like an ant. I rather not face such danger before I become powerful enough to face them.
"We will know by morning what decision, they take," said Zarna.
Nobody said anything to that.
There was silence for a whole minute, before we spoke again, this time on a completely different topic.
Talking with these people is a game and transaction. Every piece of information has a price. If someone shares something valuable, you will need to share something just as valuable.
If you did not for a couple of meetings, you won't be invited to further meetings. We had cut four people like that.
Here we are on the ship and aside from practice, we couldn't do anything. So, this will help us gain the information which will aid us after we get out of the ship; I had quite a lot in the past year.
Three hours passed, and we ended the meeting.
We will meet once again a week later at another restaurant. There are many on the ship and they are good. Eating in them is one of my favorite things, aside from jumping into the sea for the treasure.
It has been over a year since I was in the shop and, to be honest; I am not bored at all.
I thought I would get bored in a few months, but nothing like that had happened. Instead, my mood is quite good and I enjoying, all the things the ship has to offer.
It is likely because I am making steady progress in my methods and the inheritance. If we changed the route and I didn't die; there is a good chance that I will make the breakthrough in the ship.
The progress had been really good. I am getting closer and closer to the forbidden limit each day.
I am also making progress in my professions and inheritance. I should have done the challenge sooner; the fifth floor had been immensely helpful. The books in it are a grade above the fourth floor.
Click!
I opened the door and entered inside, before laying on the bed.
Bang Bang Bang
A moment later, I was at my core, which was green everywhere, but currently, it was not serene; there was a Sky Sovereign battle going on.
The octopus is out of the water, and it is fighting the bees; it turns out the octopus fights with the ground with only slight decrees in power.
It is fighting against the bees; it has already killed two of them and injured score, but they are still coming at him with vengeance.
I had been in quite a dilemma; the bees finished off the monsters quickly. There was nothing to challenge them and aquatic monsters are good, and I don't want to pull too many of them, seeing Prime might notice.
So, I am using the octopus.
It challenges the bees, which helps in their evolution, and it also brings out the octopus from its depressed mood.
It didn't like to be caged at all and after countless struggles, it understood, that there was no escape from it and thus became depressed. It only brightened up, when it battles the bees.
It killed the third bee and then the fourth before eating it when I waved my hand.
'It is enough,' I said and pulled it back into its tank. The bees searched for it for a while before moving back to their hives, nursing their wounds.
All the bees had reached the Sky Sovereign stage and producing amazing honey from these thousands of plants. I wanted to sell but didn't dare to do it.
I noticed that I had come under the eyes of Prime. I felt his soul sense focused on me sometimes and I don't like it.
While I think, it would be extremely hard for him to find the slight traces of forbidden power in the honey. I don't want to take a chance; I rather store it in large amounts and sell it when it's safe, rather than take a risk.
I am doing that with many other things.
Still, it didn't stop me from trading. I have a lot of things; they are not just from me, but also from the large number of Grimms, I had killed.
I am selling them in many fairs, personal trades, and auctions.
The people here have a huge number of things and with time. Rare things have started to come out.
I am quite excited about the other stuff that will come out in the next few months.
