One of the crew members asks Seiko, "What is in this box?"
"Gold."
He laughs and says, "Don't lie."
"Well, there is some stuff that is more expensive than gold to us."
"How?"
"I used every penny on this. That made it more expensive than gold."
"That doesn't make it more expensive than gold."
'This guy is annoying.'
They argue for hours. At last, Seiko says, "I give up. You win."
"But I don't want to win. I want you to understand what I have said."
Seiko cries and runs towards Rachid and says, "Rachid! Help me."
At night, Seiko shouts, "Who wants to hear a story?"
Few people gather around him. He starts the story. "Once upon a time, there was a big ship. It had food, a place to live, and whatnot. It was considered to be a moving small city on Ocean. Its name was Gigantic. It was considered to be unsinkable. A poor young man named Jakel won a chance to board on this ship. On the other hand, we have Rosemary, a rich girl who is bored with her life. Because she was a noble she couldn't do a lot of stuff she wanted to do. So one night she wanted to jump from the ship but Jakel saved her. Jakel falls in love. They did a lot of naughty stuff like holding hands. She once invited that poor boy to the party of Nobles. They had fun. One day the unsinkable ship Titan- Gigantic hit a mushroom of life and started to sink. Jakel and Rosemary somehow survived. But the water was cold and they were floating on one piece of wood. Jakel told Rosemarie to "Give me some money, my mom is ill". She replied, "I'm your mom". Then he remembered he was an orphan and he had a picture of his mother. He matched those. She looks like her. Jakel jumps from the piece of wood into the ocean. He died. And Rosemary is alone."
Everyone around him starts crying. He says, "Give me money and I will tell you more stories."
He told a lot of stories. If I describe those I may not be able to monetize.
In a few weeks, they arrived at the dock, named Al-Quhar. It is a busy dock. There were British, Arabian, and other ethnic groups. There was slave-trading too. When Seiko was carrying his So-called refrigerator. A crew member asked, "It looks heavy." "Not that much."
"You need help?" "Thank you, but I have someone to help."
Seiko placed the refrigerator. Unfolds it, the Ice in it was melting. "Rachid! Cast your magic." Rachid casts his magic. He asks, " How many days will it stay fresh?"
"Approximately, 1 and a half months. Highest for 2 months. If I tell you the truth then I don't know how many days it will stay fresh."
"What about the fish you put in the ice?"
Being surprised Seiko says, "How did you know there are fish?"
"It is visible."
"S**t, I should have hidden it well."
"Why?"
"It was supposed to be a hidden plan. Whatever, the fish can be good for a long time. But for now, Let's tag with traders and go to a city."
Leaving Rachid as the guard of that So-called "refrigerator", Seiko starts to find some traders who will take him. He asked a lot of people but none of them agreed to take him. At last, Seiko found someone in a restaurant. That man told Seiko that he will take Seiko but if Seiko could ensure their safety they could take him. Seiko asked, "from who?". They replied, "From thieves, it looks like you are new. Let me tell you the rules of the desert. If you have a strong person with you whose mana level is at Captain tier, you will have less chance to get robbed. But if not then you will get robbed. We can't hire someone with a high mana level."
"Oh, Captain tier, no problem. I have a kid with me, Who is at that tier."
One of his comrades started to laugh and said, "A kid at Captain tier. That was a good joke."
"Are you his comrade?"
"Yes."
"Then come with me and confirm it."
.
Seiko took him to Rachid. Seeing Rachid he witnessed his mana and understood that he was at Captain tier. He is shocked, he took them in the team. They also told Seiko to buy their food. The leader of the team is Osman. He told Seiko, "What is in that box you are carrying?"
"It's a secret."
"Ok, whatever is in the box we can't take it."
"Why?"
"It looks heavy. It will make you exhausted and that can slow us down."
"Don't worry, I will be fine."
"Ok, so be at the spot with food and especially water."
"Ok."
After they left the place, Seiko thought about it and he concluded that he was right. It would be hard for him. So he made a plan, He buys food and makes a cart to carry the box, from the money he earned through telling stories
In a few days, they left for Usran. It will take 1 month for them to reach that city. Most of the team members are from Usran. They don't want to spend money because they couldn't profit from their trip. That's why they are trying to spend as low as they can. There were 5 people in the team excluding Seiko and Rachid. They had 3 camels. While going Seiko and Rachid became very thirsty. Rachid used his magic to cool down. They decided to walk at night and sleep at day. Around a week after a sand storm came and they could not sleep. They had no choice but to camp at night. They lit a campfire. They are eating, at that time some thieves attack them. Everyone is surprised. They are thinking, they have someone at least at Captain tier does that mean the enemy has someone at Knight tier?
