Chapter 845 Heaven Port's Long History
-----
Apparently Heaven Port was an ancient port in this world that was founded by the damn Frost Queen Venerable. Due to this, it is incredibly ancient. Over the years, it slowly moved more in land while the sea took over the ancient port city, now in ruins undersea. The tower ended in the sea because of this reason, and it formed a strange "Ice Island" surrounding it, which seems to have a settlement and a small port where boats bring adventurers that want to take into the tower's trials. There might also be some unique fauna in that place, so I am quite interested in looking forward to going to the Ice Island.
Of course, we are in quite the hurry due to our sweet Ruby being caught by the Vampires. We still got time to go rescue her, but I know that Rakasha nor anyone else can take it easy when she's not with us and in danger. So we are going to make a quick trip around Heaven Port today, and tomorrow morning we'll rush to the Frost Tower. Taking that into consideration, Fuyu swiftly moved downwards, meddling with a large and dense pine tree forest there was in here. Thanks to having become a Goddess at this point thanks to becoming my Divine Realm, she can easily use camouflaging powers to meddle with her environment. And thanks to her abilities being contained within the interior of her body which is like a separate dimension, she doesn't give off any sort of divine aura that could be detected by some pesky god either. So we are rather safe.
And while we were at that, we continued our discussion.
"Amazing, I wonder if the old Heaven Port city is underwater! I want to swim in the sea and catch some fish too! Dear, you remember when we went to swim in that one lake, and we caught a giant squid?" Wondered Benladann with a soothing smile.
"I do! It was pretty entertaining, let's do that again then. We could go swim all together. There's also a big beach, let's spend today exploring and doing various things, tomorrow we'll go to the Frost Tower. Hopefully I can complete it in a day, after that, we'll prepare to go after Ruby. Is that alright for you, Rakasha?" I asked, as Rakasha nodded.
"Yeah, I don't want to put pressure on you, Drake. I know you're as worried as I am. And you've said you keep contact with her a lot too, if she got over a month, you don't have to rush things for it." Said Rakasha.
"No, there's no problem about that. I am really worried too, so rushing things seems to be necessary. I feel like this Dungeon is really calling me. The more I look into it from the horizon, the more I feel… strangely attracted to it." I said, I had my sight fixated into the beautiful tower made of ice sitting in the middle of the ocean. There was a strange feeling that was attracting me to it. This feeling wasn't something normal like an adventurous feeling or curiosity… It felt strangely mystical.
"I see… Maybe it has to do something with your origins as the son of two gods?" Wondered Miranda. "After all, I feel like there's something fishy about the Frost Queen. If all the Venerables are like the Dream Venerable and prepared for the future, most likely even predicting it through their amazing powers. There's no saying she… might have seen this in the past. …I mean, I am just saying."
"Yeaaah… Let's not get ahead of ourselves with weird theories, let's go to the city already." Said Benladann. "When we reach the place, we can go see the guilds that dear wanted to check, right? I also want to check some guilds myself!"
"Oh? Which ones?" I wondered. "I want to go to the Chef Guild more than anything."
"I remember you said there was the Blacksmith Guild, right? I kind of want to meet these amazing Dwarfs, maybe there are some there. I like a lot the black axe you bought for me, but in the last battle it kind of got cracked, I want to find someone that can repair it." Said Benladann. "And maybe get something new too."
"Oh, shouldn't you go to a shop for that though…?" I sighed. "The Blacksmith Guild is for blacksmiths, not to go buy stuff- Wait, if the chef guild is like a restaurant, I can guess it's the same for the Blacksmith Guild then… Never mind."
"Hahaha! I guess we are all going our separate ways, my fellow friends." Laughed Yuki, the pesky Monkey Chinchilla Beast girl jumped over me and sat over my shoulder. Her small body was as light as a feather.
"What with the cocky laughter? Don't you dare do anything weird while we are in the Port, alright?" I asked her. "Maybe after we rescue little Ruby, but for now, keep yourself away from danger and problems."
"I actually heard there was a Tamer Guild in this massive place, I kind of want to go see what they got there!" Said Yuki.
"Aren't you tamed though?" Asked Benladann.
"I am an independent Beast Woman!" Said Yuki. "And I was never truly tamed, you know? I helped Drake in those times as it was a relationship with mutual benefits. Actually, I used him. He kept me away from danger and I feed him with fruit, hehe. It could be said he was the one that was tamed-"
BONK!
"UGEH!"
I gently karate chopped the head of Yuki, throwing her down into the grass. She was a strong Pseudo Rank 6 at this point so she survived it. I couldn't let her talk so much out of her ass.
"W-Why are you so mean with meeee?!" Yuki began to cry.
"Because you talk nonsense all the time!" I sighed. "Now stop crying crocodile tears, nobody believes you."
"Ugghh… I am just interested in taming… I want to tame a pet! Is that bad?" She sighed.
"Not really… But you don't have to make up a whole story about taming me!" I sighed, as most of everyone else with us began to giggle a bit at our interaction.
