After the Blessed Child settled into a peaceful sleep and her condition stabilized,
the Latoreia Family delivered its promised reward in full.
With the wholehearted support of this powerful local family in the Millis Holy Country,
Cui Ciyou and his companions enjoyed a smoother journey than ever before.
It took roughly half a year.
They crossed the vast forests and hills of the Millis Continent.
At last, they reached their destination-Sien Port, the largest port city in the west.
Sien Port and Zant Port, the northern harbor where they had first arrived,
shared some similarities in their architecture and urban layout.
After all, they belonged to the same continent and the same country.
Their cultural roots naturally came from the same source.
Throughout the city, they could see
pure white stone buildings and sacred emblems carved in stone, symbols of the Millis Faith.
Yet Sien Port was far larger than Zant Port.
It was the most important maritime hub connecting the Millis Holy Country to the Asla Kingdom on the Central Continent.
It was the busiest artery of trade between the two continents.
Countless merchant ships docked here every day.
They carried the Millis Continent's abundant forest products and magical ores to the prosperous Central Continent.
In return, they brought back exquisite crafts and luxury goods from the Asla Kingdom.
It could well be called the starting point of this world's maritime Silk Road.
Standing on a high hillside, Cui Ciyou gazed down at the bustling city bathed in the sea breeze and thought:
Sure enough, no matter which world you're in...
Coastal cities tend to be wealthier.
The sea is always generous with its gifts.
This shipping route connects the two richest human nations in the world.
Its commercial value is immeasurable.
