Chapter 692: Floating Ship?

Chapter 692: Floating Ship?

After another week of travel we had arrived in a small rural village, they were independent and did not trade with other cities, they were all retired Adventurers and their families.

It was easy to spot a retired Adventurer in this place because of scars, missing limbs, or their Auras too strong to be ordinary people.

I was relieved that everyone seemed able to cause common language in this place, in most villages or small towns we passed many are not able to speak common language so I have to let Elsaris and Lilian take care of everything because they know the Demon language.

What made me very happy was to see the variety of food they grew in that village, each family grows something different, many of these foods were things we already had, but there were things we didn't have.

I made a seed exchange with them as they don't care much about money here because they live isolated.

After that we went back to our smooth ride, I changed from the carriage to a ride on Ragnar by land, I must say it was faster and more exciting.

Ragnar moved through a forest better than a Wolf, he could even run over the calm trees, his ability to maneuver with movements in all directions was a lot of fun, I can move like that myself, but it's always fun to see the someone else do it.

As I ran there was always someone running beside me to talk to, whether it was Diana riding her Family Wolf or Vanessa on a Nightmare Horse.

I took the opportunity to talk to Elsaris and Lilian about this Kingdom we are going to, this time I wanted to know more about the dark side of the Kingdom.

One of the things he was interested in was how the ruler of that Realm's criminals was chosen, but Elsaris replied something that Lilian later confirmed with more details.

It seems that the leader of criminals changes every 50 years, but whoever chooses is the current ruler, according to Elsaris they always evaluate the most competent, favoritism by friends or family always ends in death, and the chosen one must have the ability and respect of other criminals to occupy such a position.

I was a little surprised that criminals followed a culture that takes skill and reputation, I always thought only cruelty and money were worth it to them.

I saved the Golem Core to give it to Nicolas later, he'll be put to better use.

I'm sorry for the mages who worked hard, but I couldn't miss this opportunity and I leave resuming our journey, after 4 more days we arrived early in the morning in the capital city of Vartry Kingdom.

The first thing I noticed was the solid defense of the defensive walls and the strength of Grade B and above the guards in the surroundings.

But all this was diverted from my attention when I saw something amazing, right over my head and heading towards the city was a ship as big as the one I have kept inside the flying Dungeon.

It was a flying ship, I was completely blown away and I'm sure my jaw dropped to the ground I was so shocked.

Unfortunately, I wasn't on high ground, so the Flying Ship disappeared behind the city walls, but I was still shocked.

Soon an idea started to form in my head, a very fun idea.

"We're not going on a Floating Ship!" (Nix)

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" (I)

"It's basically written all over your face." (Nix)

"But it looks like a lot of fun, imagine the landscapes we would see..." (I)

"Riding a ship on the ocean with you nearly leads to death, I don't want to find out what kind of horrors traveling with you on a Floating Ship can cause." (Nix)
