" Dragons will fly across the seas. If we have the need to land we may stop at your ships. We will not be involved in the building." Terron was sure that he would be hating the travel regardless. Therefore he decided not to even be involved with it. He could do more good down in the caves with the king of the deep caves.

"I will continue mining. Whether the dragons or anyone travels I will remain here. Someone needs to fully establish the trade route and begin the proper building of the underground city." The king of the deep caves had a better direction and reasoning for staying behind.

He had taken a lot on himself in the building of Genesis. Many of the metals had come from the excavation of the underground tunnel that would be the main trade route to the dwarf city. On top of this, the dirt that he had brought was used in the fields so that it could be fertilizer. The unfarmed soil had proven to be great as a seed bed for new crops.

"I agree, I will not be sitting on a ship. I will fly above the water close to the sun. If you need assistance you can ask Current." Rise dismissed herself. Ignus nodded in agreement and Terron left as well.

"Hmm, they are correct. They will remain in the sky along with myself. My children are protecting the demon villages while some of them rebuild. I do not wish to leave so far from them. I will though. It would be dangerous to send every dragon but myself. My strength may be needed to reclaim all the skies." The wyverns were a monster that could kill her children, of course, Ventus would leave them far behind if it meant their safety.

"I agree, whatever the cost of it, I will be there." Mordant had arrived silently. He was still a little shaky after the incident with Greed and his freedom from the sin title. He had not expected that Luna, the elemental water spirit, had arrived. He also did not expect that the dream abilities of Sandman could collectively affect memories. All that proved to be a major surprise and problem to work around.

There was also the fact that Sandman was considered one to the more powerful beings that the Genesis council knew of other than the man that had arrived to share teleportation. Many of the beings that roamed the world or the other planes of existence were very different. They had power that was currently unknown to all of them.

The dragons seemed to have the most trouble with this since they had always believed themselves the most powerful. They may not be as strong as their race was in ancient times, but they were still well above other races. Unfortunately, they lacked the power to meet the beings on other planes. That was one reason why ascending to another elemental plane was a taboo for the most part.

"I have no issue traveling in the waters. I want to protect the ships we bring along with the important quest we will undertake." Naturally, Current was thinking about traveling in the waters himself. He wanted to see what monsters called the vast oceans home. The monsters that they might have never seen before. The monsters that might be able to be cooked by top notch chefs. He had truly fallen from the unique cooking of other races.

"General Scylla, what do you think?" Leon was preparing to lead those who wanted to see the current state of ship building to the place they were being built. This was because he wanted to show them the safety and power that the dwarves had created.

"Whether it is in the water or skies, I don't care. I will be there, the wyverns were found to have destroyed farms when they were defeated. More records of them being found are showing up as we search. Some even stated that they were seen flying high in the sky. They may be traveling the world looking for more land to burden."

Since Scylla saw the dangers that the wyverns possessed she did not hold back her words. She was ready to battle them right away if necessary. "Even though some of the elves have suffered because of the mana imbalance, they will come. All the elves want to see these lands where the ancient race came to live. They want to know what else is in the world. I will be the first queen to go there."

"That means that there will be a very large force of expert elves on the ships. It also means that we will be relying on the dwarves' craftsmanship even more." Gil made this clear. He wanted to ensure that they were perfectly ready.

​ "I will not doubt the craftsmanship that the dwarves have. I have surveyed the building area personally when allocating some funds. It is better than you may think." Markus Raven spoke up more than usual. His words were held by fact and he did not have to prove them. He knew that they would all see it as well.

"Then it sounds like it is time to follow Leon." Su stood up and looked at Leon who had already prepared to leave the room. The others were quick to follow.

Current and Mordant had already decided to trust the dwarven ship builders. This was also because they wanted to take the time to properly prepare. They needed to absorb more of their elemental mana so that they were in pique performance for the battle. The wyverns would take a great deal of their time to handle. Not to mention the injuries they might take from the wild wyverns that lacked sentience.

"The ships are being built far from the ocean because we will be able to use magic to create a false flood. It will allow the ships to make it through the rivers to the ocean easily. From there it will be simple as getting our bearings. We already have some astrologers charting courses using the stars. The only issue will be the undiscovered currents, storms, and potential monsters." Leon had perfectly prepared himself.

Since Leon had a very strong father to live up to, he had decided that he needed more than just battle strength to be a proper king. He had to be able to use his mind to lead a people in every path they chose. This was also why he had been putting so much effort in to helping his people build their homes along the rivers. The merfolk would have a solid place in Genesis.

"So that means we will need to create a map of the oceans as well?" Remey was not sure she would be of much use on the ships at all. Her best ability was to punch things, not swim.

"Yes, the currents are a tough thing for many that sail. We have been able to gather some information from merchants along the shores and also from past experiences. Most attempts to travel across the ocean are failures or unknown. No one has come from there." Leon knew that the danger was great but he believed they would be able to handle things.

"OI will just focus on seas sickness medicines then. You can all worry about the other things." Remey felt useless so ended up stopping halfway to the building area.

"That's a ship?" Walker had never seen a ship like the one he was looking at. Instead of the wooden boards being bent to create the ship he was imagining, he was looking at rune carved metals.

"Oh, you didn't expect this? The dwarves are already using some new runes that were discovered after the change in communications. Half of that side was taken off to change things this morning. It will be a very tough ship that is able to withstand the tides and monsters." Leon was brimming with confidence.

"You mentioned that you wish the dwarves to create some of the golems they normally do but with the ability to swim. Do you think that will work?" Su was concerned for the safety and use of golems in the water.

"Yes, the runes can be used to better create them. From there they will be able to act as warnings, scouts, and battlers in the water." Since Leon had been working with the dwarven craftsmen closely, he knew that they were capable of this.

"That just leaves how they will move. Care to show us?" Walker needed more information. He knew he lacked a lot and wanted to absorb as much knowledge as he could. The more he learned the better it would be. He could help and potentially save them if things went poorly in the ocean.
