Chapter 113: 113. Departing

From time to time, there would be the Life Force of heaven and earth and unique materials of the plane that condensed into different creatures. These Creatures are rare in the south but in the north one can see a lot of creatures that have turned into humanoid form.

The world is cylindrical with pointed edges. ’The edge of the world’ or also called ’The beginning of the world’ is in the south pole. One can see a beautiful sight, if they visit there.

Most of the records point out that this world was indeed created by Ancient Gods. The secret of Ancient Gods and many things are in the North. That’s why everyone is travelling to the North, to the other edge of the World. The place where One Piec- .... The place where Eternity is....

Lily Gomes is explaining everything to Tyler. .

"What is your real name anyways?" Lily Gomes asked.

"Oh ... It’s Tyler... Tyler White." Tyler said.

"Looks like Phantom Blackwood got a bounty." Lily Gomes placed the Bounty poster on the table.

"I don’t understand why you didn’t get any bounty." Tyler asked in confusion.

"Well... I was easily defeated by ’you know’. So you are the only one who killed the Warden." She said,

"Well it doesn’t matter, I am gonna travel south and glance at the Edge. Then I am gonna start my adventure to the north." Tyler explained his plan.

"Well I am worried about Young Master Zhou Qingchen retaliation for killing his Lackey," Tyler said.

"You don’t have to worry. He doesn’t care about useless people." She said,

"That’s good. Also one more thing, Can you take care of Silvia after I leave." Tyler requested.

Sound of something shattering resonated. Tyler looked around and saw Silvia dropping a cup of Tea. She is showing a look of disbelief. Tears began to form as she ran away.

"Oh I forgot to tell you. Silvia came to visit you." Lily Gomes informed him.

"Thank you so much. Very helpful."

Tyler ran after Silvia and caught up with her. He walked beside her

"You see. The Sea is a Very Dangerous Place. "

"I won’t listen to you. I hate you." Silvia ran away. Tyler’s mouth twitched. He definitely can’t bring her with him.

Later that day, Tyler visited all his restaurants. The White Auction Hall is also doing well lately. So he doesn’t need to worry about anything.

Then he returned home just to find someone still sulking.

"Alright I will take you with me." Tyler compromised.

"You are the best, Uncle Horny." Silvia turned cheerful. What Tyler didn’t say is that he would leave her here after returning from the south. It is dangerous for a non practitioner to travel north.

The sun had already set long ago, and the night soon enveloped. Tyler woke up in the middle of the night, he walked outside and looked at the sky.

"Uncle Horny can’t sleep?" Mana popped out and asked.

Tyler gave her a look.

He recently got a habit of gazing at the stars. The sky with 3 moons and the countless stars are absolutely beautiful.

Tyler energy surged.

1 star Elite Mage Level.

"Did I just make a breakthrough?" Tyler was baffled.

"Your mind was calm. Which is more important for mages. That’s why your Mage level broke through." Mana explained.

He is still a 5 star Novice Warrior. But a 1 star Elite Mage. Even Tyler didn’t expect the sudden breakthrough.

The following month Tyler attended the Array Classes, went to work and copied many Materials and sold them via his managers.

Tyler ordered a Custom made ship. It will take a month to arrive. Meanwhile, He is preparing to become a travelling merchant. He is stocking up with unique things from these Islands and decided to sell them while travelling.

Merchants, Adventures and Pirates. If one caught a sight of another ship in the sea, the possibilities of them being one of these three is higher.

Tyler really doesn’t need to stock up. All he needed was to check what was on demand and copy them multiple times. He made a lot of money by following this strategy.

┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉

A month has passed, and Silvia is packing up her things happily. Tyler bought some soul bound slaves to work for him. It’s Very common buying trained slaves to sail the ship.

Tyler gave the contract to Mana. She would monitor them, she has experience of handling the workers in the ship.

Mana used the mask and transformed into a human form and took the task. Silvia was looking at her wary like her place had been stolen. Mana is still in small girl form and that made Silvia a little panic.

The newly acquired merchant ship gleamed under the sunlight, its pristine white hull standing out against the deep blue of the sea. The ship’s sleek design featured a pointed bow, cutting effortlessly through the waves, and an elegant stern that tapered gracefully. Embellished with gold trimmings and intricate carvings of mythical sea creatures along its sides, the ship exuded an air of both sophistication and strength. The deck was spacious and meticulously maintained, providing ample room for the crew to manoeuvre and for goods to be securely stored.

Inside, the cabins were a marvel of efficient design and luxury, tailored to meet the needs of a prosperous merchant’s crew. The main cargo hold, located in the belly of the ship, was vast and well-organised, with sturdy wooden partitions to keep the various goods separated and secure during the voyage. Above, the crew’s quarters were divided into neat, compact rooms, each equipped with comfortable bunks, personal storage chests, and portholes that offered views of the expansive ocean. The captain’s cabin, situated at the rear of the ship, was a testament to opulence, furnished with polished mahogany, a plush bed, and an intricately designed desk for charting courses and managing the ship’s logs.

The ship’s upper deck boasted several key features, including a state-of-the-art navigation room filled with the latest instruments, and a galley where the ship’s cook prepared hearty meals for the crew. The dining area was a communal space, fostering camaraderie among the sailors with its long wooden tables and benches. The ship’s rigging and sails were crafted from the finest materials, ensuring maximum speed and manoeuvrability. Every inch of the vessel reflected the merchant’s investment, designed to ensure that both crew and cargo could travel safely and efficiently across the seas.

"Nice ship, let’s go." Lily Gomes said. She already packed her things.

"Huh? What are you doing here?" Tyler asked.

"You asked me to watch over your little girl, right? Since she is going with you. I am also coming with you." She said,

Tyler just stared at Lily Gomes.

"Alright. Now I really don’t have any purpose in life. So I just decided to visit the south with you. I can be a good navigator. You can trust me." she said.

Tyler didn’t refuse her. Lily Gomes is strong and her detective skills are top notch. So he is happy to get her onboard.

"I don’t see any of your employees onboard." Lily Gomes said while observing.

"Yeah. Because they don’t wanna travel. They are happy with where they are." Tyler replied.

"Who is this cute little girl? Do you have a thing for little girls?" Lily looked at Mana and asked.

Tyler’s mouth twitched and said, "she is my accountant."

Mana giggled.

The ship began to sail. Omar, who was crying on the shore, waved his hands at the departing ship. Everything happened so soon. His crush, his boss, just left with the new assistant. It was a little blow for him.

Yan Xi, who is also watching the ship from far away, sighed. He is glad that Tyler left. He can’t touch the restaurants because Omar is watching them. But at least he can make it difficult for his fiancee. She had become closer to her enemy recently.

Yan Xi went to the medical hall to meet his fiancee Mathilda. The maid who almost got killed by him last time came out with an aggrieved expression.

"Senior Sister Mathilda went missing."

Yan Xi’s face changed when he heard the news. He suddenly thought of Tyler’s ship.

"That scandalous couple." He gritted his teeth in anger. He wanted to kill the maid but he couldn’t because Mathilda’s Master was present.

Meanwhile Tyler is showing around the ship to Lily Gomes. He even assigned her a room.

"Thank You Captain." Lily Gomes saluted jokingly.

"Captain?"

"Yes, you are the captain." Lily Gomes smiled.

Tyler smiled and left. He really likes the term ’Captain’. He arrived at his room. Inside his room there is a secret room behind the bookshelf. It is inspired by Lily Gomes’ office. But the only thing is that there is no Spatial array. It’s just a secret room.

Tyler looked at the girl who is cuffed in a chain sitting in the bed.

"Hello senior sister Mathilda." Tyler smiled gently.

He kidnapped Mathilda.
