500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 203 The Boat Idea



​ "As you can see, it is not as clear as you had assumed. Unless you can make the Easterners less tired, then this will continue to be a problem. I left it alone because I, too, believe that the Easterners leaving and finding their own homes to restart it would be best for them. I could force them all out, but not all Easterners get tired all the time, and there are some good ones, right, Melrose?" Tallia asked, looking at the Queen, and she nodded.

"This is true, but most of the useless ones have spoiled it for them. I can try to tell my people to be nicer, but unless things change, it will just fall to ears that are not listening. Do you have any suggestions? You are a God, so you must be able to figure something out for this, right?" Melrose asked me.

"I will think about it, but this isn\'t something that can be solved in a day. I have a lot to do the next day, but after that, I will try to figure something out that doesn\'t involve forcing people. Now, can we talk about you building a boat for me?" I asked but then paused. "I am not a traitor anymore, am I?"

"No, that will be removed, and you will be an honored guest while in the city of Bramma," Melrose said, and I sighed.

"Good," I said. "Now, I have an idea for a boat that I want to be built, but It is going to be much bigger than anything you have, so I am going to need a new one. How long do you think it would take to build a boat that could fit about four hundred people comfortably? We don\'t need that many, but I want to make sure that I have lots of room. There should be about ten floors and a pool on the top deck. There are a bunch of other things that I will need, but this should get you started."

Everyone, including Tallia, just stared at me like I had just grown horns or something.

"You know that sounds like a pretty large vessel. How soon are you going to want this? Melrose asked, looking like she was about to start sweating.

"I mean, yesterday would have been good, but I will take it as soon as you get it finished. I should have been here yesterday to talk about this, but things have been busy," I said with a sigh.

"I will have to talk with the women at the boat yard, but I think something like that will take a week at the very least. What you are asking sounds like the biggest ship that has even been made!" Melrose explained. "How are you even going to make it move?"

"Don\'t worry about that, when you are almost done, I will come and do the finishing touches. If you do a good job, I will even show you what I am doing. Just make sure that the bottom of the boat is clear," I explained, and Melrose nodded.

"For a land-bound person, you seem to know a lot about boats," Melrose said.

"There is a lot that I know about a lot of things," I said with a shrug. "Now, I need to go speak with the Easterners. I will come back the day after tomorrow to talk more about the boat."

"I will come with you. Don\'t go running off without me," Tallia said, keeping a tight grip on my hand.

"I would like to join you as well," Mishal said, but the woman I assumed to be Kira shook her head.

"No, you will be coming back with me to the temple. It has been a while since we have talked, and I am sure that this Galio will come to the temple when she is done," Kira said, and Mishal sighed.

"Fine, I will go with you, but I want to speak with Galio before I leave," Mishal said, and Kira nodded.

"I will go speak with the Easterners with you as well," Melrose said, but I shook my head.

"No, I need to speak with them alone. I will come to find you when I am done," I said, and Melrose nodded.

"I will be in the throne room if you need me," she said, and I nodded before leading Tallia and Mishal out of the room.

"Fine, I will go with you, but I want to speak with Galio before I leave," Mishal said, and Kira nodded.

"I will go speak with the Easterners with you as well," Melrose said, but I shook my head.

"No, I need to speak with them alone. I will come to find you when I am done," I said, and Melrose nodded.

"I will be in the throne room if you need me," she said, and I nodded before leading Tallia and Mishal out of the room.

Once the three of us had stepped into a hallway, Mishal turned to me.

"So, what exactly are you planning on doing with the Easterners?" Mishal asked.

"I am going to try and figure out why they are so tired all the time and see if there is anything that can be done about it," I said. "Do you have any idea why they might be so tired?"

"No, I have no idea. I have only heard rumors," Mishal said.

"What kind of rumors?" I asked.

"Well, the most popular one is that the Easterners are weak, and that is why they are always tired. Another one is that they are under a curse, but no one really believes that," Mishal said.

"A curse? What kind of curse?" I asked.

"No one really knows. It is just a rumor," Mishal said with a shrug.

"Do you believe that the Easterners are weak?" I asked.

"No, I don\'t think that they are weak. I think that they are just different," Mishal said.

"Different how?" I asked.

"I don\'t really know. They just are," Mishal said with a shrug.

"Well, I am going to try and figure it out. Maybe there is something that can be done to help them," I said.

"I hope so. They deserve to be treated better," Mishal said.

"I agree," I said. "Now, let\'s go find the Easterners."
