Similar to most other ships that travelled between the Master Realm and the many Lower Realms, the Oasis Seeker was a huge vessel that could accommodate a large number of people and cargo.
The vessel that would lead one to the oasis in one's life, giving a brief respite in a lifetime that was filled with hardships – that was the intention behind the naming of the ship.
On one end was the Master Realm, which was the ultimate gathering point for the most ambitious people in the world.
On the other end was Green Realm, a Lower Realm that was abundant with vegetation like trees and plants, an ideal location for the nature lover.
Both destinations had their own charms, and no matter which direction one travelled in, it could be argued that one was headed towards paradise.
The ship's main structure was made of oak, coupled with layers of protective enchantments that greatly increased its resistance properties. Magical formations on the ship allowed it to hover weightlessly in the air and reduced vibrations to mitigate the problem of motion sickness, while four giant beasts were leashed to the front of the ship, poised to pull it along upon departure.
Silver-Winged Herculean Bears.
True to their names, they looked just like brown bears with a pair of silver wings sprouting from their backs. However, the main difference would be that they were more than a hundred times larger than regular bears, each growing over a hundred metres tall with a wingspan than stretched over two hundred metres.
They were powerful beasts native to the skies of Green Realm.
Then again, only such physically powerful beasts would be able to ensure the safety of a huge ship like the Oasis Seeker. In times of emergency when the magical formations on board the ship were to encounter a problem and stopped working, these beasts were even able to rely on just their physical prowess to keep the Oasis Seeker airborne.
But more importantly, their thick hide possessed a special property that provided it with the necessary defence against the harsh conditions expected of the journey ahead.
There was still quite some time before the Oasis Seeker departs, and at this time, two groups of people were facing each other and saying their farewells in front of the boarding area.
Or rather, only the leaders of each group were bidding farewell to each other while the others simply stood behind.
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to send us off today, Lord Rocker!" one of them was respectful in his speech, obviously being careful with his words.
"You must be joking, old friend! I really appreciate your visit this time! The Pierce Family had really done well by bringing in Don of Flames, one of the leaders of the Elemental Bandit Troupe. Coming here to send you off is the least that I can do in return!" Evan Rocker laughed.
"That is the least that I can do for the renowned Rocker Family!" Anthony Pierce shook his head in response, but had a wide smile on his face.
At this time, Evan Rocker let his gaze wander past Anthony Pierce to the people behind him. His eyes lingered lasciviously on a young girl for a good few seconds before finally turning his gaze to the young man standing right behind Anthony Pierce.
"Samuel there has grown to be a capable man too, so I guess there is nothing more for you to worry about!"
"My thanks to Lord Rocker for the kind words," Samuel Pierce was composed as he thanked the elder for the compliment.
"All right then, we really should get going now or we might miss the boarding time," Anthony Pierce was pleased that his heir was being praised, but still kept a level head in keeping track of the time.
He naturally noticed the impure gaze of the other party, but that was no issue at all. After all, that was exactly why he brought the young lady along – as bait.
"I look forward to your next visit then, old friend!" Evan Rocker offered his hand.
"I look forward to seeing you again too, Lord Rocker!" Anthony Pierce completed the handshake and left for Gate A with his entourage.
Anthony Pierce was extremely pleased with how their visit to the Master Realm had turned out.
Even though it was already time for their short stay to end and to return to Green Realm where their foundation was still the strongest, they had managed to further strengthen their relationship with Baron Evan Rocker.
After they successfully received the support of the Rocker Family, they would be considered to have a connection to the authorities in the realm.
Then it was just a matter of time before they could shift their base of operations to the Master Realm!

After Kyle boarded the Oasis Seeker, he naturally headed straight for his room. Even though he brought nothing along with him, Kyle still wanted to at least familiarise himself with it.
Opening the front, he nodded in satisfaction at the sight that welcomed him.
At least those old bastards had some proper manners!
They had actually gotten him a King Suite, one of the most expensive rooms available on the ship!
It would have been spacious even for a family of ten to stay in, not to mention the fact that he was going to be staying there alone.
Truthfully, this was an unnecessary waste of space.
Not that he was complaining, of course.
This would be his home for the coming month, but even if that was not the case, he would definitely rather have a bigger room than a smaller one!
Next, Kyle threw himself onto the huge bed.
To his surprise, Kyle felt himself sinking right into the mattress. He closed his eyes and almost moaned out in comfort subconsciously!
He could feel the softness of the sheets wrapping around his body, and it was coupled with just the right amount of firmness to ensure that every part of his body received the optimal level of support.
This feeling right now, it must be what heaven feels like!
Without a doubt, this bed is the highlight of the room!
At that moment, Kyle clearly understood how he would be spending most of his time for the coming month-long journey.
30 minutes passed in a flash, and as the timeframe allocated for boarding ended, the boarding gate promptly closed its counter, no longer entertaining passengers.
The four Silver-winged Herculean Bears in front of the Oasis Seeker let out a roar upon being given the signal. With each flap of their wings, a powerful gust swept out across the surroundings.
Thankfully the port was well designed to resist against such incidents, and the people in the lobby were well protected from the strong winds by huge enchanted nets hanging from the tall ceiling.
With that, the Oasis Seeker was turned right around and swiftly left the port, heading straight for the Reality Rift that connected the two realms.
