Chapter 534: Offer (1/2)

”Hello, I am pleased to meet you. I am Captain Aron. Pleased to meet you all. I am the captain of this ship going to State Region.” The captain walked out of the ship with the portman in tow, ”I have heard that you want to go there?”

”Yes.” Lucas said and showed an imperial rune, ”We want to go there as soon as possible. Will it be possible today?”

The captain was shocked to see this rune. This rune was the symbol of being an ancient emperor and said, ”It's possible. However, I need to remind you that this is a one way trip. Of how you will return here or somewhere, it will be up to you.”

The region wasn't permitting any ship to park by their territory, thus no ships were allowed to hit the dock. This was an iron rule that the established, and those who dared to break this would suffer death without excuse.

”That's fine. We just need to get there and you can return.” Lucas have been briefed by this and nodded, ”How much do we pay for the trip?”

”Oh, Your Majesty. You are an emperor, so I won't dare to take payments from you. Just see this as me giving a token of friendship.” The captain smiled and said. Having a connection with an emperor was way better than asking for a fee. So this was worth it.

Lucas nodded. He knew what the captain was trying to do, but he didn't mind. As long as the captain could take them there.

Immediately, the captain told the three to get on board and they would soon depart. After several minutes, the captain and his few crews set sail towards the north where the State Region was.

As hours passed by, Jin Rou was looking at the big horizon in front of him. It was his first time riding a ship, and it was an awesome experience.

”Such a beautiful horizon.” He couldn't help but be mesmerized. It was truly a beautiful thing to see, the feeling was very peaceful and he even thought for a second that it would be good to stay like this. But, he knew it was impossible. His path was filled with blood and bones of his enemies, and he had no path to return to. All he could was go on and go on, until he couldn't.

Memories flashed in his mind as he remembered everything that happened in the past. He was also thinking about a certain woman who captured his sight from the beginning. He compared her to this horizon and laughed heartily, ”You're way prettier.”

Tiresh was about to come over to Jin Rou when she heard what he said, which stopped her from approaching him. She froze for a moment before leaving him in silence. But for some reason, she felt a bit of pang in her heart.

Two days passed. The captain said that they were already half of their total destination and it would take two more days to reach the region if there would be no problems to occur.
