334 Reaching the Western Continen (1/2)
Everyone was excited while the ship neared the western continent. They had always been traveling to the west, so the group had decided to call that continent like that since they didn't know if it had any other name.
Since it was considered impossible crossing the ocean at the east of the Revgen Empire, Yale's group had always headed to the west to reach the other continent, and since the only thing they knew for sure of the continent was that it was on the west, that was the name they thought.
As the ship neared the land of the western continent, everyone saw it better, and at first sight, there wasn't anything strange on it because there wasn't any city or building on their sight, it was just the natural coast.
”It seems that there isn't any town or city in this area, but this is good for us.”
Given that they came from another continent, it would be easy for them to have misunderstandings if others were to see them nearing with their huge ship.
Although Yale knew that probably they would end up being in some conflict, he wanted to minimize it, and for that, it was better to meet the natives personally rather than being discovered when nearing the coast.
”I can't wait for exploring the western continent. It sounds like an adventure of those I have read in the novels.”
Mercer was greatly excited about that because he liked exploring and he had already explored the whole ship.
”I have only read about the land. I can't wait to explore it by myself!”
Merumi, who was at Mercer's side, was even more excited because she had never seen a continent before, much less explored it. Moreover, Mercer had recommended her some books, so she was also quite knowledgeable regarding novels.
Yale couldn't say that he didn't understand them because he was also an avid reader and understood how exciting could be for two kids that had never explored the outside world something like exploring a foreign continent. However, being their master, Yale needed to play the role of the evil part at that moment.
”I am sorry, but neither of you will explore the continent. You two are still too weak right now, and we don't know what kind of dangers there are on the western continent.”
Mercer was already a 5-star Practitioner, which was a lot compared with his previous self, but it was still too low for exploring an unknown land. As for Merumi, she was even quicker than Mercer and already reached the 6-star Expert, but Yale still considered that it was too low.
”Why? We are weak compared to master, but we have improved a lot...”
Mercer was unable to understand why his master was that strict with that matter when he knew that Yale understood very well the allure of exploring a foreign land.
”Although my healing capabilities are enough to save you as long as you are alive, I can't do anything if you die on a sneak attack or if your soul dissipated due to a soul attack.”
In the first case at most Yale could force them to reincarnate, but Yale was still unable to control where and when would they reincarnate, so it would be hard for them to meet again, and even after meeting, the other party probably would have already become a different person.
On the second case, if the soul dissipated there wasn't anything that Yale could do, if it were just a damaged soul, reincarnation would work, but a completely dissipated soul had no way to reincarnate.
Since Yale didn't have knowledge regarding the inhabitants of the western continent, he didn't dare to put his disciples in danger.
”This...”
Mercer and Merumi spoke at the same time after hearing Yale's words because they didn't know how to reply to that. After all, they had to admit that Yale's words were true, and that Yale had forbidden them to follow him in the exploration because he worried for their lives.
”You two aren't the only ones who will need to wait inside my dimension. There will be more people waiting there than coming with me.”
Yale wasn't just worried for Mercer and Merumi, everyone in the ship was included in his worries, and unless Yale had confidence in them surviving a sneak attack, he didn't plan to let them accompany him unless he knew that the area was completely safe.
