3386 Five Days
“Hundred and two Salnis crystals and I will throw in a stalk of bleb grass too,” I said to the stone skin woman in front of me.
She glared at me for a moment before sighing dramatically.
“Fine. This arvus root is yours,” she said and slid the blackish toward me while I gave her the crystals and a stalk of bluish-red grass before walking away from her stall.
There are a couple of markets on the ship, and I am in my favorite. The free market.
Here anyone could buy a shop and sell their goods.
It had been five days since I started my journey through the bold sea, and everything is going great. Except for a few small problems, which are quite common, there was no hiccup in my journey.
I roamed around the market for half an hour, buying things that I need or found interesting before I went to my favorite shop.
“How many did you get today?” I asked her blue-horned woman. “Three hundred and fifty-four,” she said with a smile and pushed the crystal toward me; I touched it and immediately a list appeared in front of me.
“Good,” I said, and she handed me a storage ring to me, which I checked for things before placing it back in my storage.
The woman is Lera, an employee of the ship, and a commission agent. I give her the list of things I want and what I am willing to offer in exchange and she would find me those things.
The ships have a large number of powerful passengers, including the Earth Sovereigns, and they are rich.
The list of resources I had given contained over twenty-five thousand resources and in these four days, since I had used her services, she had found me eighteen hundreds of those resources.
They are a lot.
“Thank you, Lera. You are a big help,” I said to her, and slid the storage ring toward her, before walking away.
The ship pays her from the percentage of what they earn from me, but there is nothing wrong with giving tips to show my appreciation to a person who is doing such a good job.
A few minutes later, I am back in my suit.
There I freshened up and started making dinner for myself. When I am finished, I took it to the balcony and ate it with a bottle of wine.
The gentle waves and light rain under the lightless sky are proving an amazing view. I loved it; it made me feel melancholic and happy at the same time.
I finished the dinner but didn’t get up and instead stayed on the balcony for an hour before walking inside the practice room for the treatments.
A minute later, I was in my core.
I directly went to the library and looked at my inheritance and directed my clones, before sitting on the table.
For a few minutes, I did nothing. I remained seated with my eyes closed.
I opened them a couple of seconds later, and energy came out of my finger, which soon formed a complex rune. After it, another one formed, and then another.
I moved the fifteenth and ninth runes and made a change into the fifth, seventh, and twelfth ruin, before once again changing my head and making the changes.
An hour passed, and I was still struggling with my homework.
It is such a small formation. On common runes, I could create it within a minute, despite it having over a thousand runes, but I have to do it, in ancient runes, and that is a challenge.
Even in my early days of learning the runes without a teacher, I had not struggled as I am struggling right now.
It is not the first time I am trying to create the formation. I have tried for hours in the afternoon and struggled as I am struggling right now.
It is frustrating for me, but it is a part of the learning curve.
Time passed and kept trying and finally succeeded in four and a half hours. It looked good, but I still spent an hour on it, to see if there is any problem.
I couldn’t see one, but I will keep checking before the class tomorrow.
Many times, I had thought my formation was perfect; only to see teachers finding many faults in it.
I put aside the formation and studied. It is not the runes I am studying, but the data of the breakthrough in Sovereigns. I have collected quite a lot of it, not to mention there are thousands are books about it in the library.
Still before making the breakthrough, I would like to collect the data on more breakthroughs.
I have developed a few tests, and I want data from them; it would help me a lot in my breakthrough.
I am not in a hurry to collect it, but if I got the chance. I wouldn’t waste it. Having data ready means I won’t have to search for it if I am stuck somewhere else.
I would be able to use it for my need whenever I want to.
The Sovereign Inheritance is going to take time; I don’t know how long it could take.
A year or more.
I will not hurry or do anything to compromise on the quality of my inheritance. It is extremely important for my inheritance to be of the highest standard.
It is not just because of the power, the standard grants, but also because it would create fewer obstacles in practice.
The quality of inheritance matters to those with celestial inheritance. The better inheritance is, the fewer roadblocks we will face in our journey to the next stage.
For this fact, many people are jealous of us, but celestial inheritance is not something anyone could try.
Here, it is quite common to find one doesn’t even need to join any organization for it.
To be honest, I pity the people of the Prime world. Unlike us from the lower world, they didn’t have the luxury to start with a fraction level.
As the hosts of celestial inheritance, the first inheritance, they will have to create is at the Tyrant level. Though it is also the fact; they have all the knowledge available to them to make the inheritance.
A few hours passed, and I got out of my core and showered, before once again entering the core.
I studied there for three hours before closing my eyes to sleep. It didn’t even take me a minute to fall asleep.
“ATTENTION EVERYONE. PIRATES ARE COMING. SOVEREIGN AND ABORE BE READY TO FIGHT, THOSE BELOW, PLEASE ENTER THE CLOSEST SAFE ZONES,”
I was sleeping soundly when I heard the loud siren and warning. I immediately opened my eyes, and armor appeared on my body.
I looked out of the window and what I saw couldn’t help but surprise me.
I saw torrential rain come down from the sky and also big flashes of lighting. The most dangerous things of all are waves; there are giant waves.
The ship is sailing through them and the thing is, despite such tremulous weather; I am not feeling a thing inside.
