Once Nicole had all the necessary informationpiled into her holographic map, we continued the meeting, at which point it was past midnight.


    "This is the map I put together with all the information gathered, but let me be clear that most of the information may be slightly off." (Nicole)


    "Battlegrounds can shift, troop movements can take detours, new battlegrounds can emerge, and there''s always the possibility of monsters moving to get away from war zones." (Nicole)


    "Thanks for the exnation, we are all aware of that." (I)


    "I wasn''t aware of that." (Ibuki)


    "Me neither." (La)


    "I do not care." (Lilith)


    "Why bring these three to a strategy meeting?" (Irina)


    "..." (I)


    I try to pretend I didn''t hear anything as I focus on the map, Nicole has given very detailed information.


    "It seems that there are many trade routes, can we use these routes?" (I)


    "Yes, but you''d better think about which routes to take because some of them are going to change." (Elsaris)


    "Like this?" (I)


    "War brings a lot of profit to certain types of merchants." (Elsaris)


    "Trade in Weapons, Armor, Metals, Monster Cores, Potions, etc..." (Nira)


    "So can we expect these outlying routes to change?" (I)


    "That feels right, traders won''t miss out on a chance to make such big money." (Ivan)


    "And if we go to that city and from there to the capital of that Kingdom, then we''ll have a direct route to Floating Ind." (I)


    "These routes must be very busy, so they must be safe." (Nira)


    "But thest part doesn''t seem to be as busy even though it''s the shortest route." (Diana)


    "There are mountains there, so there will be flying monster nests." (Diana)


    "The chance of having strong monsters is low, there is a dungeon at the foot of the mountain." (Nicole)


    "Does everyone agree on this route?" (I)


    I look at everyone nodding, so it''s decided.


    "Can you identify how long the trip takes this route?" (I)


    "If using a carriage it would take 3 months, using a normal Floating Ship it would be a little over 1 month, but we should take less than 3 weeks." (Nicole)


    "Did you finish your project?" (I)


    "The project itself was alreadypletely nned before getting this new body." (Nicole)


    "But I had to postpone construction until I had a suitable body to do such technical work, meanwhile I gathered all the materials I would need." (Nicole)


    "After getting this body I took every opportunity to finish the construction, I finished the construction a few days ago and was in the part of configuring the spells and Runes." (Nicole)


    "So it''s not over?" (I)


    "It can fly very well and has a strong barrier, but its energy consumption is still very inefficient, most of its functions are being tested and the weapons are not finished yet." (Nicole)<novelnext></novelnext>


    "I''m going to steal this ship." (Caitlyn)


    "You wouldn''t know how to handle something like that." (Natasha)


    "I can always kidnap someone who knows." (Caitlyn)


    "Could you at least avoid talking about something of mine as if it were already in your hands?" (I)


    "We are family, what''s yours is ours too." (Caitlyn)


    "I have nothing and neither does she, so don''t try to gain anything from us." (Natasha)


    "That Floating Ship would make a wonderful home..." (Caitlyn)


    My sisters who were silent started to speak when they saw that the meeting wasing to an end, I turn to everyone and tell them to pack things up, we will be leaving in the morning.


    "Master, I have something to tell you, I found out during my time in the coliseum that..." (Ibuki)


    -------------


    Dawn.


    The Suns were rising over the horizon, and the time to leave was approaching, I didn''t think I would be leaving this city so soon.


    "I''m not going with you, I have another ce to go, but I left a mark with Margareth to find you if I need to." (Caitlyn)


    "You go where..." (I)


    Before I finished speaking she had disappeared, but my sister Natasha wasing as she dragged manyrge boxes along with Margareth.


    "What''s in those boxes?" (I)


    "Food, your Dungeoncks variety and my Mistress Natasha has decided to take our manor stock to make up for it." (Margareth)


    Margareth goes to the Floating Ship that is floating above the mansion, the modifications Nicole made are just huge, she basically destroyed the Ship we had and the Floating Ship we stole when we left the Dark Continent to build this Floating Ship.


    I look up to see the underside of the ship which was made using bones, the entire main structure was made using bones simr to a spine and ribs, and the rest is made of wood with metal ents.


    Just looking at the Ship that is bigger than the mansion, you can see that it has spent a lot of resources, I can feel the Aura Barrier in the old Ship in this new model, and I can also feel a great amount of spiritual energy and mana flowing throughout its structure, a lot of that energy is leaking out of the Ship, that must be what she was talking about improving the ship''s functions.


    The ship now has a different sail that was made almost entirely from materials taken from me, the sails were made using my thread, scales, and blood to harvest energy from nature rather than using the wind as a propent.


    On the front of the ship is the head of a ck Dragon with different color eyes like mine along with 6 stars around the neck strap of different colors, the Dragon itself is representing me while the 6 stars represent my Familiars, or at least at least that''s what Nicole told me.


    All the design, ornaments, and aesthetics of the Ship were nned by Leonardo, it seems that the construction wasmanded by Nicole under her strict supervision with the help of people from the Dungeon who were personally approved by her.


    The Ship was wonderful to look at, but I''m concerned that it''s not 100% finished yet, I know Nicole well enough to know that she doesn''t just want to make an ordinary Floating Ship.


    "Is everything ready yet?" (I)


    "Yes, everyone is inside, Kira''s Father is searching inside for safety and his Sister ran inside as soon as she heard Irius talking about the training area." (Freya)


    "Is there a training area?" (I)


    "Yes, my daughter is in the kitchen organizing everything with the help of Alice and Margareth, most of them are already inside." (Freya)


    "Your guest is not happy, but your group is delighted." (Freya)


    "Then it''s time to leave, let''s go." (I)
