Chapter 963: Solare (2/2)
”That's...a name...” Krune looked at the Seamstress for a while before nodding. ”Sounds good. We'll call him Solare from now onward.”
Krune then played with Solare after that while the Seamstress was resting, seated in a tub of water as she was meditating, observing the ins and outs of her new passive ability. She then frowned all of a sudden, shooting her eyes open as she said, ”This is strange.”
”What's strange?” Krune frowned.
”We have been traveling for almost a day now, but I can't sense that the distance between us and the pirate ship has reduced. In fact, I feel like the distance between us has increased.” She massaged her forehead, feeling irritated.
”Are they moving while making use of a lot of Motor Fishes? The generated currents are immensely powerful with a lot of them, right?” Krune thought as he spoke.
”That is true, but why?” the Seamstress muttered, gazing at Solare as she muttered to herself, ”Have they given up entirely on Solare?”
”Fighting the two is too risky for them,” Krune said as he frowned. His voice then turned solemn as he continued, ”But, it seems they have higher priorities, no?”
”Let's continue giving chase,” the Seamstress said as Krune nodded. Among their four Motor Fishes, two took charge of moving the boat in half-day shifts. This way, they kept moving nonstop. Moreover, no matter what, the bone trees continued to supply them with enough fruits for their needs.
As for Krune and the Seamstress, they occasionally stopped in places where a lot of fishes were close to the surface and fished them quickly using the nets. They then proceeded with the chase.
Days passed in such a fashion before Krune muttered, ”It has already been a year. I can feel something drawing my focus.”
”That should be the Checkpoint Turtle. I can feel it as well.” The Seamstress nodded as she sighed” ”Until now, we have been unable to close in on the pirate ship.”
”There is no other choice, then.” Krune nodded as he suggested, ”Let's give up on them and focus on heading to the upper layer.”
”You're right on that one.” The Seamstress nodded before asking him, ”Do you have any plans?”
”I've already visited a Primary Landmass before. I am confident of accumulating all 15 Godly Points there now, as long as the place isn't too unsuitable to my abilities” Krune nodded, looking at the Paddle before continuing, ”Also, I figured out a method that can be used to take this boat with me while heading there.”
”But.” He looked at Solare before adding, ”We can't leave him behind. No matter what, since his mother handed him to me, he's now part of my responsibilities.”
”Alright.” The Seamstress nodded, suggesting, ”Then, instead of heading to a Primary Landmass, we'll head to a Secondary Landmass together. Three people can head into one at the same time. This way, we can protect one another and harvest points faster.”
”But, I only have 7 Godly Points with me right now,” Krune said. ”I can't buy a ticket to a Secondary Landmass. And besides, one ticket costs 15 Godly Points. Three tickets cost 45 Godly Points. And the total amount of Godly Points you can obtain from it are 45 as well. So, we would only be wasting our time there.”
”That is true, but...” The Seamstress smiled as she shot a glance at the cupboard where the bone tree fruits were. ”Will it really be a waste of time?”
”Hah!” Krune flashed her a thumbs-up as he agreed. ”Indeed. If we do it right, we can profit a lot from the place. Plus, the Secondary Landmass has a radius of 150 kilometers. It's huge.”
As the boat headed towards the nearest Checkpoint Turtle, the Seamstress spoke, ”I'll buy the three tickets. So, the first 45 Godly Points are mine. We'll split the profits after that.”
”Perfectly fine by me.” Krune laughed as he looked around, noticing that they were the first to arrive at the Checkpoint Turtle. The Seamstress quickly entered the entrance in the shell, purchased the three tickets and exited.
She then looked at Krune and asked, ”Do we have enough Water Essence for emergencies? I think we have enough.”
”Yes.” Krune nodded, also noting that he had stocked up to the limit on food and water. The three people then hugged each other while holding the boat, ripping apart the three tickets. Not long after, they vanished from the scene.
