Chapter 200: Home Coming (2)

A strange feeling erupted inside everyone present, but mostly in everyone who once lived in that archipelago. Not mattered how they looked at it, it was still their home.

As for everyone who came from the tribes in the desert, it was strange to be there.

“Look at how much water there is!” someone from the tribe said.

“Don’t drink it,” Arthur said, worried that one of them might drink sea water.

For most of these tribe members, it was their first time seeing the sea.

“The town should be nearby, but I don’t think we can enter with that many people,” Myria said.

They had appeared inside that island out of nowhere using that portal. Arthur did not know who was the strongest person in the archipelago was.

It was a mysterious place that still needed exploration. Who knew what dangers could lurk? So for that reason, everyone waited on the other side of the shore, away from the city.

Arthur and Myria went in with the goal of buying two ships.

Guards were in front of the gates, making the day-to-day routine.

“Some things never change.” Arthur thought.

A quick search and they were good to go. They could not help but think about the difference between the archipelago and the Elven kingdom.

The mighty and beauty of Slyvian far exceeded that of those cities. Even the biggest city in the archipelago could not compare to it.

“Let’s go to the port area.”

With one goal in mind, both Arthur and Myria did not care for anyone or anything inside that city, and simply walked towards the port area to buy their ships.

There, a fatty vendor was sitting on a chair, waiting for a customer to look at the ships he had to sell. No one did, as why would they?

Those who bought ships were pirates, and pirates would not go to that island.

“Excuse me. I want to buy a ship. Show me the biggest who can fit more people.”

The fatty vendor heard those words, but it took him some time to realize the meaning behind them, and when he did, a huge smile formed on his face.

“Y-YOU will BUY A SHIP? Look, this is the….”

He showcased all the best ships he had, and Arthur bought two of the biggest.

Speed was not something he was looking for, but space. There were lots of people that needed to go along, so space was the most important aspect of a ship in that moment.

Money was not an issue for him, at least not to buy mundane stuff, so he paid the fatty a few hundred gold coins for the ships.

They still needed to buy some food for their trip, and even though it was a small town, it was something easy to find.

Within thirty minutes, both ships had many crates inside, and these had a magical symbol carved in it so the food did not rot.

It was basically potatoes, rice, meat, and that’s it. They would not have the luxury to choose.

Fresh water was also important, but any mage could cast that, so it was not something Arthur needed to worry about.

Back at the port, Arthur said, “you drive one and I the other. As we don’t have a crew now, let’s just use wind or water magic to move it.”

One of the many perks of being a mage was to do things like that. Arthur hopped inside one ship, waved his hand, and controlled the water beneath the ship, making it move to where he wanted to.

“Sailing a ship with magic is way easier, but I don’t have the patience to control the water for over one hour.” Arthur thought.

On the horizon, two immense ships came towards a shore where lots of people were waiting, jumping in excitement. Not only people, but it seemed there was a wyvern with them, which made the scene even funnier.

“Everyone, jump in. We already got the food, so we are good to go!” Arthur said.

The students and devotees were not experienced sailors, so driving the ship in the common way would not be possible.

“All right, everyone. I think all of you can control the water to move the ship, even if your element is not water. We will work with shifts.”

No one complained, and soon two large ships left the island, going towards the kingdom they once lived.

“Excited to go back?” Arthur said to Eleonora, who was inside his captain’s cabin.

Not only her, but Wisa, Jane, and Harmony were there. Harmony had been helpful since the start, teaching the students and taking care of them while everyone was away.

Arthur wanted to repay her, but giving the bloodline would be too extreme, so his idea was to get her a high-grade technique so that her mage journey did not end.

“I am. I guess we all are.”

“Now that we are returning, it reminds me of Hiley. She helped a lot back in the palace when I came to rescue you, Jane.”

“Thinking of trying to find her? We have no clue about her whereabouts,” Wisa said.

“What happened to her, anyway?”

“Well, remember when I told you Myria and Lilia moved out of Odemore by themselves to explore the world? Hiley did the same, but we do not know if she stayed in the archipelago or moved out to another place.”

Wisa had told him before that Hiley had left Odemore just like Myria, but different from them, Arthur did not find her again. Deep in his heart, he hoped she was okay, and that perhaps fate would reunite them again.

The number of days they all spent inside that ship was unknown to them, but soon a familiar city was within sight, Rento.

It was the city they once used to flee Rhupia. Rento looked as vivid as ever, and Arthur entered a deep thought if he should hide his identity or not.

“Well, considering Jane and Eleonora are both princesses of this kingdom, and you did not kill the king, it was already dead, possessed by something else. So, you are innocent, and should not have to worry,” Wisa said.

Arthur was not scared, as he knew there wasn’t someone in his realm of power inside that kingdom. During their ship trip, Arthur and his wives had a lot of fun, which gave him a few extra levels, thus his normal mana pool increased again.

With the increase of the mana pool, Arthur practiced the Monlog Giant Meditation Technique, condensing his mana into Spiritual Force, getting closer and closer to the tenth circle.

He was not completely in it, but was at the peak of the ninth circle. That meant even if my a miracle Rhupia kingdom had someone of the ninth circle, it would still not be a match for Arthur.

“I also have my dragons skills, which I can only practice outdoors and without people around.”

It had been quite some time since he last practiced his dragon skills. These were more volatile, thus practicing inside a closed space was not recommended, and it had to be in secret as well.

“We are finally here. Shall we make a quick stop at the castle?” Eleonora said.

Arthur, who was just beside her, answered with a smirk, “absolutely.”
