The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1866

Three weeks later...

After days of peaceful travel through the South Seas, Minos and Emlyn had had a great time together without much to worry about, as they enjoyed the experience on this top-of-the-line ship.

They interacted with each other as if they were addicted to each other's bodies, having spent more than 35% of the voyage deeply connected...

But while they enjoyed a peaceful start to their voyage, they had also taken advantage of many of the ship's services. Minos loved to eat and taste high-level cuisine, and on this ship, he had been exposed to unique dishes prepared by grade-4 chefs.

On the other hand, even though they had a great time on this trip, Minos and Emlyn had trained together several times in the days since they left Lusmait.

Cultivation and training were some of the most important things in their lives.

But while they were peacefully enjoying this trip, they gradually began to hear inside the ship about some recent problems related to the Ancient Dragon Spatial Kingdom!

...

"So the two tribes are moving to confront each other because of what happened in this place?" Minos asked a man with white hair, black clothes, and a calm look who was standing in front of him and Emlyn in a rather dark cabin.

The information vendor nodded and said. "Yes. It seems that the young sky whale devoured one of the dragons that entered that space. This has made the dragon tribe very angry.

There are already reports of at least three incidents between members of these two tribes in the oceans and on the central continent.

Even the calm waters of the South Sea are becoming more turbulent."

Emlyn already knew what had happened in the unfinished event in the Flaming Empire. So when she heard what the man Minos was paying for the information said, she wasn't confused at all.

Minos had expected something like this. To him, the man's words only confirmed his suspicions.

But he had to keep an eye on such serious problems, so he had sought out this man to get information, even though he was on this ship.

This ship was like a small, high-level city. Just as one could get information in cities, one could get that and much more on this ship.

Minos asked. "Will we have problems on our journey because of this?"

The territory of the sky whales was in the South Sea. If this tribe started to move against the dragons, the calm seas in this area could change a lot in a short time!

"Unlikely. Although the sky whales have begun to take action against the dragons and are more agitated than usual, they are still the rulers of the seas, and no one would dare attack their territory.

At the same time, our crew is well aware of the problems in the South Seas and knows the routes to avoid trouble. So if I were you, I'd rest easy." The man said with a neutral expression, "But it's completely different for the Marine Empire's voyages to the Divine Continent or the Continent of Beasts.

There are reports of elders from the two tribes becoming estranged on their way to the area that ships from the Marine Empire would have to pass through on their way to one of those two continents."

Sky whales would not attack the heart of the dragon's territory, and dragons would not attack the headquarters of the other tribe. It would be too risky for both sides to act in the name of the juniors.

So, the clashes between them were expected to take place halfway between their tribes, between the South Sea and the East Sea.

When Emlyn and Minos heard this, they looked at each other and saw they would have some problems on their journey.

But they could do nothing about it, as it was beyond their control.

With that, they left the information vendor's establishment, for the moment, unconcerned about part of their journey but aware that they would have some problems later on.

"Will we make it to the Continent of Beasts in one piece?" Emlyn asked with a bitter smile.

"It is hard to say. But I believe the shipping companies are already sending their specialists to their ships. This is a very important operation for the powers behind these ships, so I think we'll have a good chance of reaching your continent," Minos said.

These shipping companies had friendly and commercial relations with the major sea beast tribes on their ships' routes.

This was one of the reasons why continental voyages were so expensive, as there was almost a guarantee of safety for those traveling with one of these companies.

At the same time, these were high-level powers with even high-level Demigods in their ranks. They had enough to definitely create defensive barriers that could protect their ships from even high-level beasts of the strongest races.

Because of this, Minos believed that his chances were better than the words of the information vendor made it seem.

Still, he didn't underestimate the problem, and his words didn't mean they wouldn't face any challenges.

"Anyway, we can do nothing but continue to become stronger and more influential. Don't think about it too much. When the time comes, we'll deal with whatever comes our way." He said, leading the way to this ship's cultivation and training area.

...

For the next few days, the group traveling from Lusmait to the Marine Empire would continue their journey peacefully without encountering many problems along the way.

Because of the marine transportation company's relationships with the tribes along the way, they had the safest possible route for this journey.

But even with the best route, a good ship, and a strong crew, the passengers on this ship would witness some clashes in the coming days, the appearance of powerful beasts nearby, and much more.

Fortunately, there would be no high-level battles in their vicinity, and most of the time, the beasts that would come their way would only be those who were interested in doing business.

The seabed was very rich in minerals and precious resources for humans. As such, the beasts used many of these resources to barter with humans whenever possible, which often happened when humans traveled on ships like the one Minos and Emlyn were on.

Only twice during the entire voyage did the group of Demigods on this ship have to act in any way to protect their passengers.

And so another few weeks would pass before the party finally arrived near the Marine Empire, the first stop for Minos and Emlyn on their journey to find followers and fighters!
