"Wow," I said as I looked at the giant ship. 

I have seen some enormous ships, but it is the biggest one I have come across and it is not surprising, seeing how many people want to travel through it.

They need a giant ship, because, unlike the normal sea, expanded space doesn't work on the bold sea. It released some strange energies that damage the expanded spaces, breaking them.

It is also why; people are warned about storage. Asking them to change into a better quality one or store them in ship's vault.

The journey would be two weeks long, but it will not be a boring strip. Seeing the ship is like a small city, from stores to casinos. Everything is there.

Though, I plan to spend most of my time in my suit. I want to study and work on my inheritance.

I stared at it for a couple of seconds before walking on its giant ramp.

"Welcome to Varana. Mr. Mark," said the elf as greeted me and handed me the key and catalog of ships activated.

"Thank you," I said and looking around the ship, while my clones looked through the large catalog.

Now and then, I would be surprised to see something on the ship or in the catalog being read by my clone. The ship had a large number of things, more than I had thought.

A few minutes passed when I stopped and looked at the performance happening on the floating stage. There are a group of people of different races giving a performance.

The leader is Sovereign, and she is good; she immediately mesmerized me with her performance.

Hun!

I was looking at the magical dance performance when a surprise appeared on my face.

My clone is reading through the auction page of the catalog when he found something, I had been looking for.

The Alom pearl and it at Sky Sovereign level. It is not a complete pearl, or rather, it is a complete peal; just broken into seven pieces.

Which would lose appeal to most people instantly; for most things, a complete peak is required. 

Not for me. From the tests my clone had done, as long as it retained its magical properties, it will not matter, even if it is broken into a hundred pieces.

Despite being broken, they are asking for an astronomical price, and it would likely increase during the auction. 

Well, I don't mind, I want the peal and I will have it.

Once I have it, collecting the supplementary materials wouldn't be a big task. Then I would need to wait for the Sovereign before I started to work on my dream abode.

By that time, I would be able to gain all the skills I need to craft it.

The grand auction is going to be interesting. They have only revealed only a quarter of things and only one thing from the top ten list, which is a broken alom pearl and it is at the bottom of the list.

I watched till the performance was over and clapped and even sent a few glowing crystals toward the direction of the performers, before walking away.

Click!

One and a half an hour later, I opened the door of my suit. It had a small room, a similar size practice room, and a tiny kitchen and bathroom.

The amazing thing about it is the balcony; people say the view from it is to die for and it is amazing, and it would be even more after the ship leaves in two hours.

By then, the ship will be covering energy later and it would become denser or thinner according to the danger we will face. 

The trips are relatively safe. Though sometimes they turn dangerous, even for a ship as powerful as this and Earth Sovereigns guarding it. 

Most of the dangers are from the monsters and unpredictable things happen to water.

There are pirates, but they rarely attack Varana.

I hope the journey would be smooth without any danger. As I planned to spend these fifteen days doing nothing but studying.

"Hey neighbor," I heard and looked back, only to see two men. One is a blue skin man with long ears and a black tail, while the other is a beastman, belonging to some white cat family, that I can't tell.

"Hello," I replied.

"Are you going to, Marlin, if you don't mind me asking?" asked the Cat Beastman. "Yes, but my destination is a little further," I replied. 

There is no harm in telling them that seeing most people on the ship are the same as me. 

"You guys?" I asked, and they smiled. "We are from Marlin. We had come to Behill to visit the place where we had met the first time," replied the blue skin man, with a smile.

I smiled and talked to them for a few minutes, while my heart flooded with memories of Marina.

I miss her every day, but the memories become intense when I see romantic couples enjoying their lives, rather than chasing power like crazy.

A few minutes later, I came back to the room and lay down on the bed before closing my eyes. Immediately, I appeared in my core and walked toward the clone, who was practicing alchemy.

I am giving more than double the time to alchemy than the artificing, but artificing is rapidly approaching alchemy and leaving it behind.

It is not surprising, seeing I have not been imprinted with the knowledge of Alchemy as I had been with the knowledge of artifice.

Even if I give a tenth of my time to artificing. It will still be going to leave the alchemy behind.

It didn't matter to me. My skill in alchemy is where I need them. As long as I continued practicing the alchemy and improve with the speed I am improving, it will be more than enough for me.

I have not learned alchemy for some grade or to use at trade, but for myself.

I need these skills to use my resources as efficiently as possible, and I am doing that.

Hun!

I practiced the alchemy for nearly six hours, before opening my eyes as I sensed the ship had started to move. 

Yes, it had started to undock and at the same time, a thin, nearly invisible layer of energy begins to form over the ship. 

I reached my balcony and touched the energy layer. I didn't feel any repelling force, just stretchiness like a rubber. The energy layer wouldn't react unless I used a Sovereign level force on it.

As for the below it; it didn't matter if I keep punching it for a day and night.

I could see the invisible formation covering the energy. It is not only to save us from danger, but its main function is to create a stealth field.

Which will hide it from most of the monsters.

A few minutes passed, and I watched the ship enter the bold sea with my neighbors. Nobody talked, we just watched the wonderful view under the bright moon.

It is really beautiful that I wish Marina was here with me. She loves these kinds of romantic sceneries.
