*Sigh* I knew this would happen, I knew, I knew it, I KNEW IT! The kids are so annoying! Every three minutes it's 'are we there yet? I'm bored can we play something?' At first it wasn't too bad and we played little games here and there but after a few hours it gets tiring. Fast.
Well anyways we should be descending to below the clouds very soon as I believe we should be out of view of even the furthest out fishing boats. Although I have enjoyed the scenery of this fluffy cloud filled landscape it gets boring fast. A change in scenery may be nice but it will be the same situation when at ocean level after a while so I guess I prepare games I and the other adults can play with, with the kids.
Not too much later we started to descend to only be met with the vast blue ocean that stretches as far as the eye can see. Now this scene caused my people to look on in wide eyes amazement as most people would have never have seen the ocean before. In this world unless you actually have money people won't travel out of their home town or village. The only none stupid rich people that would are merchants or adventurers.
The change of scenery should hopefully keep them quite for about an hour and now with only a few hours of travel left it should be fine. I have a few games planned out for the kids to play so all should be good. I should also introduce these games to my empire as I believe they may be very popular. An example of these games can be snakes and ladders. Although simple to make especially so with the help of the System it can entertain a child for a while. These will surely become popular if I introduced them to the empire seeing as how this world doesn't have a big market for entertainment and board games.
With all this said nothing much is going to happen or not until we arrive at the 'lost continent'. Oh I actually should also tell you that we are going to be renaming the 'lost continent' to the Crimson continent. Not a very original name seeing as our empire is named the Crimson empire but it works. I mean look at Australia on earth naming an entire continent after themselves.
Well now that I've informed you of this I guess I'll see you in a few hours or so. No point in having you here with me when nothing is going to happen anyways so I'll talk to you later. Bye for now!
~A few hours later~
I can finally see it! We have finally arrived back home and to be honest there is a tear in my eye. Not because I missed home, oh no. It's because the kids have gotten so bored that all the girls are playing with my hair and all the boys are keeping their distance while staring directly at me. It's not the most comfortable I've been, after before I met Sylvie I had absolute minimum human contact. What human contact I did have was when I was stabbing one in the back of the neck or pulling the trigger of a pistol at point blank range. Not really the most pleasant thing I know but I'm just getting the point across.
Eventually flying over land the thick forests of the now named Crimson continent shows just a glimpse of the beauty of this place. Rivers, mountains, lakes, and grasslands all come into view as we fly towards our final destination. This whole time everyone is sat in silence watching the beautiful landscape as we pass by. Although beautiful it's very dangerous.
Everyone here had been informed of the dangers of this place and not to explore off on your own unless you get approval of the city guards that you are more than capable of holding your own. When we eventually get the official adventurers guild up and running there will have to be restrictions put in place for people going out of the city walls for jobs. I don't want people dying every where. And no it's not because I'm soft hearted for my people it's because it's like saying to the magical beast 'Hey! There's a vending machine here that will feeds you for free just wait for the next idiot to come out of the walls!'. It's like if you feed a stray cat they tend to stay at the same place thinking that they'll be fed again. It's like that.
Snapping out of my little thoughts the huge palace and city was coming into view. Sylvie and I had built a landing pad of sorts in a large open area outside of the walls. Because of Sylvie's presence no magical beasts will attempt to attack so we'll be safe. Landing safely we had everyone climb down off of Sylvie's back. Sylvie then transformed back to human form while leaving the makeshift platform saddle off to the side.
-Iris lets get everyone inside of the walls then we can have the other citizens show the new members around. We'll go to the palace to check up on everything through the reports the head off to the east coast where we just came from so that you can start designing the harbour city.
Although I'm very thankful for Sylvie being so diligent in her work isn't she overdoing it? I have asked her but she just said that because of the species essentially being that of a dragon I don't need to worry. Of course I still worry but I can't really say anything else. She's really determined to get this empire up and running and it seems like she's having fun so what can I do?
Entering that gates that's were open to us by the guards everyone was kneeling on the ground while the guards maintained a position of attention with their weapons in hand. It it quite cool but we wrapped this up quickly to allow everyone into the walls. As we brought everyone in the citizens all went about introducing themselves and already assigning them homes, jobs, and showing them around. I have to say these citizens of mine are very hard working and reliable people.
While I was watching this Sylvie took my hand in hers as she guided me to the palace after leaving the new citizens in the care of the older ones. Walking towards the palace Sylvie and I took our time just enjoying the warmth of each other's hands.
Once we arrive we'll have to look through reports and work on any problems that have shown up since we left. After that we will have to travel to the coast to build a harbour town and then find people to work and live there. It will definitely strain our manpower as we need guards, workers, food and water supplies, and to top it all off a road connecting the two cities.
I guess we'll go through this next time. So I'll see you all later when I and Sylvie will be focused on these new tasks for us. So bye and I'll see you later!
