I couldn't let this continue. Otherwise, the turtles might eventually disturb even the massive harbours that sent out ships all over the world.
Yes, the world! If there wasn't a third continent hiding somewhere away from even the humans of the Vardish Empire (and by calculations of the continents' size and the planet's curvature and surface area, there was just no place for anything but polar caps), then the two discovered continents made most of the planet's landmass.
And the turtles, of course, would interfere with my plans to move the capital closer to the sea.
Thus, I took a day off from regular administrative tasks and flew closer to the sea on a dragon so I could send an astral projection to one of the sites with roaming turtles and see them myself.
While my body was safely asleep in a guarded bedroom of a sub-hive I stayed at, my astral projection travelled to the shore with the speed of thought.
