Chapter 842: Sharing
Stuffed into the eaves of a two story home was a bundle of reeds, loose threads, and fluff stolen from pillows and mattresses. These castoffs were carefully arranged into a birds nest. Beneath a pair of eggs was a small golden ring. Despite the fact that Deep Shore was located underwater, a population of birds had still managed to thrive there. The city itself had an immense bubble of open air within it, which gave the scavenging birds enough leeway to thrive on the scraps of the citys inhabitants. They also seemed to be something of a delicacy for the aquatic races, just as things from the deep sea could be for humans. Catching seabirds was comparatively more difficult than catching fish or other seafood for them. Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
When dozens of body doubles were leaving the inn, Sage had one of them toss a stone as a distraction. That stone hid the Universe Ring inside. Then he used the Little Birdy techniques to get a bird to pick up the stone and drop it while in flight. The stone shattered and the ring was picked up and deposited within a different birds nest. Just in case the stone was noticed or marked he went through the extra level of misdirection. Sage did not intend to underestimate these foes so he used every trick he could think of to make it difficult to be noticed.
The dozens of body doubles were not Hoplites or Dragoons that could possibly be tied to him. Instead, they were people from the Inner World that had earned themselves life sentences in prison. He gave them all a deal, they would be sent to another world and if they could survive for 72 hours then the Human Seal he placed upon them would dissolve on its own and they would be free to stay there. The Human Seals made them all look like the same person, then he added an extra layer of disguise with the Little Birdy Mud Mask technique, and topped it all off with matching outfits. He also used the same mud mask disguise and outfit when he went to visit Blue Tiger. From there he brought a temporarily unconscious Blue Tiger into the Universe Ring and released the convicts one after the other. They were all given similar stones and told to use them to create noise distractions or cause conflicts between their pursuers and the other locals. The last dozen or so decoys were released at the same time clueless that one of them carried the stone with the Universe Ring inside it. Who could imagine that they carried in their pocket the place they were just standing inside of?
It seemed utterly ridiculous, but Sage could only assume it was related to this place being used as a training ground. If someone could easily run away from their enemies it wouldnt be nurturing a fighting will. Or, maybe the rulers of this place were just vicious and ruthless, wanting to earn money while also creating permanent citizens for themselves.
Whatever the reason, it also created a demand for undersea caravans, traveling between the cities of the Depths for those who couldnt use the Transportation Arrays. It was especially bad because only after arriving in the Depths would one realize that the cost to leave was many times higher than it was to arrive. Those who were sent here to improve were expected to stay for a long period to grow and improve. If they couldnt gather the funds to return then they didnt deserve to. Or at least thats the sort of thing Sage imagined those ruthless Sect and Clan leaders would do. They wanted truly powerful people, not failures that were sort of strong.
The water cultivator had already been given a long debriefing on the Inner World and he calmly boarded a structure mounted on the back of a large sea turtle. The turtle was controlled by a Beast Tamer, and Sage was tempted to speak with the old woman, but he chose to keep a low profile instead. Without any considerable danger presenting itself he chose to remain in hiding until they reached their destination. One of the problems with an undersea caravan was that safety was not guaranteed. It was also a long voyage and became something of a whole adventure on its own. The water cultivator joined in at least six battles over the course of the next three months, conflicts where all the passengers had to get involved with the defense. The huge turtle and the hired guards were not enough to hold off the myriad of threats they faced while in transit. They traveled through dark waters and bright shallows, navigating through an immense forest of kelp and seaweed before finally arriving at their destination. A beautifully colorful city hidden among an immense coral reef: Coral Shallows.
