Aelric was hiding behind his uncle who stepped aside, making the hiding completely useless. "You!" Aelric looked at his uncle in disbelief. But it was already too late as the girl seed to have noticed it.
The whip in her hand ca alive as it flew like a snake towards the ship. Within an instant, it passed through the portal and wrapped around Aelric's body, dragging him outside forcefully.
Even though Aelric was carrying a powerful sword on his back, he didn't use it to protect himself for so reason.
"Don't worry about him. It's just the thing between those siblings." Aelric's uncle told Karyk, noticing the confusion on the young one's face.
He tapped Karyk's shoulder, gesturing to accompany him outside.
Karyk left the ship, accompanying the Aelric's uncle who wasn't just the leader of the Drike Family's Militia but also the younger brother of the Drike Family Patriarch.
"Sister, release this instance!"
Stepping out of the ship, Karyk was able to hear Aelric who was struggling to free himself from the whip which was a treasure in itself.
"You dare put to sleep and run away for the birthday banquet alone?" The girl, who looked completely harmless before, slapped the back of Aelric's head lightly.
"They are going to take their sweet ti," Aelric's uncle comnted, not even trying to hide the smirk on his lips as he watched Aelric get bullied by his sister.
In the Drike Family, only the male heir could beco the next leader of the family. However, despite that, his sister was just as valuable to the family.
Aelric was trained seriously as he was ant to inherit the family in the future. On the other hand, his elder sister was highly respected, loved by almost everyone.
Not only was she extrely talented, but she also had a remarkably pure bloodline, similar to Aelric's in purity.
Unlike him, she did not focus on becoming stronger only. She also wielded significant influence in other aspects of the Drike Family, especially the business side of things.
If Aelric needed any financial resources, he had to request them from his sister, as she managed the family's assets.
If Aelric represented the strength of the Drike Family's next generation, his sister represented the intellect. Both of them were crucial for the future of the Drike Family.
That's why they were both supposed to attend the Ti Lord's Birthday Banquet. However, Aelric did not want that. It was the sa reason he did not want to take any guards.
When he was outside the family's domain, he craved absolute freedom, especially since he was planning to engage in so fights with the heirs of other families.
If his sister and other guards accompanied him, they would undoubtedly try to stop him. Even though he knew he would be scolded later, he still put sleeping dication in the drinks of the guards who were supposed to accompany him the next day.
He did the sa for his sister, putting her to sleep so she couldn't join him. Thereafter, he left alone.
It was because he was not accompanied by his sister that Aelric was able to engage in the battle with the girl, which resulted in the splitting of the river of ti and space for a brief mont.
Karyk did not know it, but it was because Aelric had left his sister behind that Karyk was able to escape the river of ti and space.
While Aelric was getting thrashed by his sister, begging for forgiveness, Karyk stopped looking at the sad scene.
Instead, he observed his surroundings. This was the domain of the Drike Family, being multiple tis bigger than his entire galaxy.
It was a world that was unlike anything he had seen before. In the surroundings, he was able to see the Warships that numbered in thousands, simply floating in the endless space that stretched to an eternity.
There were also other ships that were similar to the rchant ships that he had seen along the way. There were also beings that belonged to other Species, that were pulling down large boxes from the rchant Ships.
Looking at the scene, Karyk grew slightly confused. The Drike Family was able to manipulate space to fit an entire world inside a Warship.
Why didn't they have rings or similar storage items that could keep things? Why did they need to transport things in boxes like ordinary Civilization?
Karyk tried to see just what was inside those wooden boxes, using his shadows. One of his shadows sneakily entered the wooden box, only to get destroyed in an instant.
Before his shadow was destroyed, Karyk was able to get a glimpse as to what was inside these boxes.
There was a spatial disturbance inside these boxes which was what destroyed his shadow. These were not ordinary boxes but ones that were specially created to store large amounts of things.
Even though he didn't know exactly how large the space inside these seemingly wooden boxes was, he felt that it was at least the size that he had seen inside the Warships.
There were even chanical giants that were coming out of the rchant ships, carrying boxes that were hundred tis larger than the boxes from before.
If one box itself could fit a world, then what about a box that was hundred tis larger? Looking at the scene, Karyk was really curious as to what the Drike Family was importing through these rchants.
Was it in preparation for the upcoming war with the Angels? he wondered.
After thrashing Aelric properly, the girl finally cald down. She could now focus her attention on other people.
First, she thanked her uncle for bringing his brother back safely. Next, she turned to Karyk who stopped looking at the boxes.
"Are you curious about what's in these boxes?" she asked, as if she was able to see through his thoughts.
Her eyes were observing Karyk with great interest as it was also her first ti seeing a species that was said to have gone extinct. By now, almost all higher ups ca to know about Karyk who had saved Aelric.
