The Kingdom of the End was a state located at the northern end of the Central Continent, being the last piece of land.
To give you an idea, if someone traveled always following the north direction on this continent, after passing through the Kingdom of the Waves, that person would arrive at the Kingdom of the End.
Emlyn then continued to tell her story as she sat next to Minos' chair. "For more than two months, we traveled on that pirate ship. At that point, I discovered that I was pregnant with my daughter."
"After that, my husband planned our escape for the moment when we arrived here on the Central Continent. He was already in the 6th stage of cultivation, so he wanted to hold on to enemies while I ran away to a distant place."
"He wanted our daughter to have a chance."
"In addition to him, other beasts that had been kidnapped joined my husband and decided to attack the pirates when we arrived at the continent. And although the other side was able to kidnap us, many of their men ended up dying during those two months of sailing."
The route that the pirate ship Emlyn was on was considered one of the most dangerous in the Spiritual World. Usually, if someone wants to travel between the two continents, this will be done by the southern region of the Central Continent, the safest route.
The Central Continent was an enormous landmass, which ran from the Spiritual World center to the extreme north of this planet. In comparison, the Continent of the Beast was a landmass between the extreme south and the opposite center of the planet.
That caused the two continents to be closer to each other, both from the extreme south and north end of each continent. However, the sea in the north of the Central Continent was dangerous, while the sea in the south was very calm.
And because of the storm that the pirates went through, their ship was thrown into the most dangerous sea, from which they could not simply return. Because in this sea, the sea currents are powerful, to the point that the arrays used in the ships couldn't circumvent these natural forces.
That made it possible to diminish the enemy forces of Emlyn and her husband. She then continued. "But that was still an arduous task. They had many Spiritual Kings and even a Spiritual Emperor on that ship."
She stopped for a second while remembering what had happened with tears in her eyes. "When we arrived here on this continent, a great fight started, between the dozens of beasts and the pirates. While some of us were running away, I could see from a distance when my husband and other beasts sacrificed themselves to stop that Spiritual Emperor..."
She stopped for a moment and then said. "After I ran away, I started to run as far as I could. That was until two months ago when I started looking for a safe place to give birth to little Kyla. It was at this point that I came to this region."
While he heard this, Minos thought of the memories he had inherited from Henricus Longus. From then on, he knew that some of the prominent families in the south of the Central Continent, since that time, have sponsored pirate groups, which brought spiritual beasts from the Continent of the Beast.
These families usually bought couples of spiritual beasts of the same race, leaving them together to procreate. After that, they killed the parents right after the cubs were born, preventing any 'bad influence' from being passed on from parents to their cubs...
That was the way these families tame these high-level spiritual beasts without them rebelling after reaching the intelligence of an adult human.
These families did not see them as equal to humans, even for those who had the potential to reach level 70. For them, these beasts were only slightly better than the others and deserved only the position of servants of the great families of the Central Continent...
Minos then said. "I'm sorry for your loss. But do you know what power is behind the pirate group that attacked you?"
She shook her head and said. "No, I just saw a red triangular symbol on the clothes of some of them."
"Okay, let's do something about it in the future." Minos sighed and said. "But it will take a few decades, do you understand me?"
"I know."
Minos knew nothing about this symbol. But that was expected. His knowledge of geopolitics was from millions of years ago, so not knowing about it was expected. But that was a significant lead that he would follow when the time came.
Minos then got up from his chair and said out loud in the direction of Alison and Lee. "You two, come here!"
Upon realizing that Minos was here, the two youths ran towards him quickly. But soon, the two noticed two spiritual beasts alongside Minos. A little fox with a tail and a big one with five tails!
They've never seen anything like this before. "Master, what do you want from us?" Lee asked as he looked at the two spiritual beasts.
At the same time, Alison was about to pick up tiny Kyla when Minos said. "Lee, Alison, I want to introduce you to Emlyn. She will take care of everything here starting today." He then pointed to the mother fox, who was beside him.
"Hmm, my name is Emlyn, and I will take care of the Spatial Kingdom."
After hearing this, Lee almost lost his balance, and Alison stopped halfway before catching Kyla. The two could not believe that this beast could speak the human language!
They didn't know that since their Dry City was still very humble in that kind of information.
"As long as you don't use the medicines, I won't get involved with any of you." She said as she looked at the two.
"All right." The two waved in unison, afraid to irritate this new neighbor that they would have.
Alison recovered from the shock after a while and asked in a low voice. "This is your son? What's his name?"
"She is my daughter. She's called Kyla." Emlyn said calmly. 'These human children could be a good company for Kyla.' She thought to herself. After all, Kyla had a lot of energy to play with, and there were no other fox cubs around here.
After that, Minos spent time in the Spatial Kingdom to work out the last details with Emlyn and then return to the Yellow City mansion.
'Let's see if everything is ready.' Minos thought as he left the room where Emlyn was previously staying. He then headed toward the mansion's exit, past the entrance garden, to the gate, where he saw Ruth waiting.
She was beautiful as always, wearing a dress that was neither too short nor too long, with a decent cleavage around her breasts and her beautiful black hair hanging loose in the air. Minos took a good look at her and then smiled as he approached her.
Upon noticing the arrival of Minos, Ruth snorted and said. "Hmph, you finally decided to go out. Where are those foxes?"
"They left. Maybe we'll see the two in the future..."
She then frowned and looked at Minos' face and asked. "Why are you smiling?"
Minos then responded. "Nothing, I was thinking of something interesting... But never mind, let's go. I want to go back and cultivate for a while before we go to the Cromwell Kingdom."
"Oh! You're finally starting to take this seriously... Maybe you're excited, aren't you?" She teased.
"Hahaha, come on." Minos ignored what Ruth said, heading for the carriage that Dillian was waiting for them.
It did not take long, and several carriages headed towards the exit of the Yellow City, going to the central region of the Black Plain.
As they passed through the city, several residents noticed Minos' movement while having different thoughts in their minds. Some of them wanted this person to stay and rule the Yellow City. Others were happy because they now had no arrogant, or violent, or any kind of leader who could harm them.
They could self-govern themselves until a new administrator came to this place. And in the worst-case scenario, they would at least not be exploited in a short time. That was something to be celebrated by the unlucky people of Yellow City.
...
In a restaurant in that town, a tall, strong man was standing next to a middle-aged woman while talking at the door of that establishment. When one of the two sighed, and that's it. "He did what he had promised. He dealt with the bandits and then left. So, perhaps the rumor spread by this one is true. What do you think, Ros?"
"Hmm, I also think that way. I see no other reason than trying to attract labor to their city. Otherwise, they would not come to help us and then return without any gain." Ros said as he looked at the carriages of the Minos' group moving away.
"Well, it won't be long until we're sure of that. The groups left here must be in the Dry City by now..." The woman said excitedly.
