Chapter 586: To Flavos

Sam was relieved when he saw Yodha. The deal he made with the smuggler is something that has many loose ends on. Even though he gave him the Pill of servitude, he has to make sure that there would be no possible loss of betrayal because of this.

That is why he wanted to find Yodha once again.

Since Yodha himself came now, it is much easier. And the thing is Yodha came for a ship too.

Sam couldn't help but chuckle.

"There is a small problem here. The ships for the Navy cannot be built individually. Since you gave me the chance to build this small fleet, you have to wait for it. If we build the ships individually, there is a high chance that it would go to waste." Sam said upon Yodha's request.

"Then, is there any other ship for travel?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Flavos."

"For the Volcanic region?"

"How do you know that?" Yodha asked with a little surprise. After all, he knew that Sam only came recently and the Volcanic region is not a common news for the locality in Mov empire.

"How many people are going? I can arrange a ship if there are few people. I built a few ships already during the training period of the employees and we built one for each model. The small-sized semi-cargo is already reserved. So, you can ask for another ship and I can get you one. They are all travel ready."

Yodha looked through a booklet on the table that has the specifications and said.

"The eight cabin passenger ship will do. Are you going to visit Flavos as well?"

"I am. How can I miss such a great opportunity?"

Yodha's face became complicated and said.

"Actually, our empire decided to send a team of five Nascent stage cultivators and three Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, but I am not the leader of the team and all the places are reserved previously. And everyone is a Naga.

This was all agreed by the nobles and the emperor previously, so we cannot get you in."

"No problem. I will go on my own. I am not even traveling on the same ship as you. I have my own transportation."

"Then that is fine. But if you are not a part of the team, you have to finish a test at the entrance of this volcanic region.

Although it is the natural reduction of heat that allows the people to enter, the ancestors of the Nagas had created a special entrance. The entrance will test the candidates who want to enter and as long as they can make it through the entrance, they can enter the region.

It is better to be prepared as the test would be strong. It mostly based on the fire elemental energy and pressure." Yodha said a few more things that he had to remember and after he was done, Sam said.

"I have a business deal. You want to take it?"

"What is that?"

"A weapon deal."

"A new weapon?"

"Yes, new to you people. It is specially made for Naval soldiers. Are you interested?"

"What is the deal?"

"Before I explain, I would like to say that there is a condition that you must fulfill. And it involves an extremely huge amount of money. Of course, it is my money, but I wouldn't be there to manage it. So, I need the Navy or army anyone else that could guarantee it. I don't want my money to be lost and if something really happens. I will not only stop this weapon deal, but there will also be no further cooperation between us regarding any other weapons."

"Sure, but first tell me the condition, then we can discuss the weapon."

Sam agreed and explained what he needed. After some deep thought and a long discussion finally, Yodha agreed.

Sam then took out the breathing device and the Flat-fish puppets.

He took Yodha to the docks and dove into the water and gave him a demonstration.

Yodha liked this thing very much. He immediately agreed and asked Sam if he has any more conditions he wanted them to fulfill.

Then, they started discussing the factory and the production.

The Flat-fish puppets are not products of mass production and they are only suitable for elites. Sam's deal with them is that he would sell them the design, the production plan, machinery and even train the artisans to make them along with training the enchanters on how to give the necessary commands to the spirit in the puppet.

But, Sam would get a royalty for every puppet that was made.

This is more to Sam's taste than a full-fledged factory because Sam wouldn't stay in this place forever.

On his home planet, he has a solid foundation and sufficient power, so that he can ensure that no one will cheat him off. Here the situation is different. The only person he can trust is Yodha and that too not unconditional.

He can only trust him because Sam has more weapons in hand and Yodha who likes making money needs a person like Sam who is good at doing that.

At least, he knew that this type of trust exists, unlike the one that is full of flowery words.

After making the deal and talking about the rest, Sam set a date that he would teach them after a month.

Meanwhile, he gave them the blueprints of the different parts of the puppet so that they could make them.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something else, but since you are also going to the volcanic region, we can talk about it after this one month," Yodha said these words before he left to take a look at the ship.

Sam also went on to deal with the tasks and then went to the resort. After two days, two ships left the docks of the Mirage city Industrial zone. One of them is an eight cabin passenger Ship. Another one is a Semi-cargo ship. Which is the same size as a mini-version of the small-scale ocean liner.

There is a special crew on both ships. The passenger ship has a crew from the Navy and only two people of Sam's employees are there as for the Semi-cargo; apart from him and the smuggler and there is a full cabin crew that is trained and are current employees of Sam's shipbuilding company.

They are responsible for testing of the ship for sails and they are hired. Even though there are not many large orders and the Navy orders which are large are still not ready at the moment, the crew is only tasked to test the fishing ships and the speed boats.

Now they are extremely excited. They can now use the semi cargo as much as they want in the ship.

From the engine crew to the navigation crew everyone is excited to see the metal beast go on a voyage. But they were disappointed to know that they have are only going to Flavos. Because it is one of the nearest places. But still, it is better than nothing.

After five days on the sea, the two ships reached Flavos side by side.

The smuggler, whose name is Buck, has a license to bring ships and enter the docks and the other ship is on official notice.

So, they have no problem docking in.

The whole docks though, are stunned and attracted by the two ships that seemed to have outclassed every other ship on the docks.

Sam and the smuggler left the docks and entered the city. The volcanic region is a bit far away and the smuggler said he is not going to use the official route to go there from the port city.

Since Sam also didn't want to associate with the rest of the group from the Mov empire, he also wanted to go with the smuggler.

This route is similar to the route the smuggler took when he smuggled Arkiv.

They first went to a small village that has an estuary and they sneaked into the forest following the water upstream.

After they arrived deep into the forest near the waterfall, where the stream originated, they went to the deeper region of the forest and traveled for three days before they arrived at another village. From that village, they took a mountain route to stop at a final village.

This is called Hot spring village and this is nearest to the Volcanic region.

There is another town on the other side from where the official people will come.

The smuggler went to a house on the outskirts of the village and entered with familiarity as he led Sam inside.

The villagers greeted him casually as they came across him.

"You seem quite familiar with this place."

"Of course, I am. I stay here quite often. After I was done with a job I will come here. I wouldn't stay for more than forty-five days on the sea continuously and if something like that happens then I would stay at other places.

After all, Flavos is a great place to live."

There are still three days till the volcanic region entrance opened and Sam is waiting in the Hot spring village.
