<h4>Chapter 247: Traveling</h4>


    After saying those words, Minos'' group quickly left that ce, heading in more than 20 carriages towards the ck in.


    The group returning to the Dry City contained slightly more than double the number of persons that had arrived. So, they took several of the carriages from that ce before departing.


    Minos had already ordered some soldiers to destroy the identification items on these carriages so that no one would recognize them for walking around with the Chambers symbol.


    Thus, in just a few minutes, more than ten carriages had their symbols torn off or were painted over, making them devoid of identification.


    Then, Minos had enough transport to carry all those people to the ck in, where they could live from now on.


    And among the people who were traveling on the Minos'' convoy, Barbara, Robin, and Joey traveled in the same carriage as Peter. The only one who had not continued the trip with the group was Milton, who had left even before Vivian left that base.


    As for the ves who were ''disciplined'' with Peter''s group, they all received grade-1, medium-grade pills to recover themselves.


    These items were obtained from that Chambers'' base, and as many of these people were severely injured, Minos had decided to hand over these resources to these individuals.


    They would soon be citizens of Dry City, and these pills held little value in the eyes of the soldiers who took part in this rescue mission.


    Anyway, that ce had been left behind as the carriages disappeared over the horizon.


    The Chambers family base had beenpletely emptied, with not a single piece of furniture left behind, as well as essential papers and documents from this ce!


    Minos knew that on a ce like that, it might have some information or two. And even if it wasn''t anything very significant, anything could help them.


    Even the smallest of information could be significant at a critical time!


    When they arrived in the Dry City, all documents from that location would be directed to the ck in Army''s headquarters, where administrative soldiers would handle the analysis service.


    Anyway, from where the Minos group was, they would need about a week of travel to reach the City of Waters, from where they could continue traveling to the Dry City.


    This was the shortest route and also the safest, as there was not much movement on this side of Cromwell Kingdom.


    ...


    While Minos'' team was returning to this young man''s territory, somewhere in Stone Ind''s north sea, a small ship sailed at cruising speed towards the Kingdom of the Waves.


    That ship had no external markings that could identify the power behind it. Still, it was a noble ship with a certain refinement and quality for the people who used it.


    In one of the four rooms on that ship, the most refined and spacious one, two young blondes were sitting on both sides of a table while talking and ying a chess game.


    One of them had a burning beauty, sensual curves that would make even other women desire her... She had her beautiful hair loose while a beautiful fringe covered part of her forehead.


    Her blue eyes were focused on the game in front of her when she finally made her move.


    While the second young woman was not as stunning as the first, she was gorgeous and could be called a rarity in the northern part of the Central Continent.


    Her thin face and well-proportioned but not exaggerated body measurements could please almost any man who saw her. Her skin was soft as silk, with a white hue that made her green eyes even more dazzling.


    These, of course, were the two Minos'' acquaintances on Stone Ind, Elen, and Elena. The two of them had traveled for days, across the territory of that ind, out of the central part until they reached the north coast of that state.


    They were starting this trip to visit the ck in, where they wanted to settle matters of prime importance with young Stuart.


    However, with the constant persecution of spies from other prominent Stone Ind families, the two young women could not simply go directly to Minos'' territory.


    To safeguard this information, the two intended to travel to the Kingdom of the Waves and settle some matters there, thereby deceiving their pursuers. They hoped that by doing so, they would be able to proceed unnoticed towards the Dry City.


    This was neither easy nor quick to do, but the two would do anything to make this trip to the Kingdom of the Waves as authentic as possible. It wasn''t unusual for Elen to travel to this state. Therefore, this could help cover the two women''s interests.


    Anyway, at that moment, while the two of them were still ying that chess game, Elena suddenly asked her friend. "Elen, how are we going to make our pursuers lose our trail?"


    Hearing this, Elen closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them after some time, looking at the window of that room, which overlooked the blue, north sea. "Well, escape of them by boat is impossible, as there isn''t much difference between the boats'' speeds on our ind. Consequently, we can only do this after we have spent a few days in the Kingdom of the Waves."


    It would be very suspicious if they arrived at that ce and immediately tried to flee. This would only increase the motivation of the spies chasing them, which would make everything difficult for them.


    They could also clearly see that the pursuers'' ship was not that far from theirs, and they would certainly have enough time to pursue them once they reached the maind. So, Elen would first do some business in that ce to lessen the focus of these pursuers.


    "After that, we will use a spiritual flying beast to flee to the ck in when our pursuers are most vulnerable!" She finished with a smile on her face.


    Elen had ordered one of her subordinates in the Kingdom of the Waves to buy a beast of this type that could fly and carry at least two people.


    As for why she wanted to use it, it was because it would be challenging to chase a flying beast. Flying beasts could fly in any direction for thousands of kilometers a day without stopping, depending on their level, creating a big problem for spies.


    It was difficult to follow the tracks of such a beast because it only left tracks when it stopped in urban agglomerations. Other than that, there weren''t any traces left behind during the flight. Therefore, even if they stopped in a forest, it would be difficult for pursuers to reach these random locations.


    Because of this, following a spiritual flying beast was an arduous task, especially if there was a long dy between the departure of one side and the beginning of the pursuit of the other.


    After hearing her friend''s exnation, Elena smiled, pleased that her friend had already thought of everything they would do next. This trip was Elena''s first tour outside Stone Ind, and she was very eager to see this vast world.


    The Stone Ind had a territory that didn''t even amount to 5% of the total area of ??the north of the Central Continent, so Elena felt like she was about to change worlds. There were many cultures and stories that she only knew about in books, but now she could enjoy and get to know some of that in practice.


    "Hehe, I''m looking forward to getting to the Dry City. You said Minos built a cultivation tower in that ce, right?"


    Elen then made another move in the chess game the two of them were ying when she nodded in agreement and said. "That''s right. It seems he has made a lot of changes in that ce since the end of the Spiritual Tournament."


    "That''s great. Even if we travel there, we shouldn''t be harmed with our cultivation speed slowing!" Elenamented in happiness. However, that didn''tst long when her friend finally defeated her in that game.


    "Elena, you should pay more attention... Hehehe."


    And so, the boat trip of the two young blondes continued when the two finally went to bed, ''ying'' with each other...
