Lynn surveyed the crew members waiting for his instructions and spoke with ease, "In that case, I kindly ask you all to continue working hard. We won't be truly safe until we're completely out of this sea area."
Under Lynn's command, the sailors in attendance temporarily suppressed their excited emotions and returned to their positions. However, unlike before, they no longer bore worried ...

The sail ropes tightened, and the winches spun relentlessly, raising the canvas made from camel leather. These camel leather sails were incredibly resilient, capable of withstanding the wildest storms and gales.

2023-10-28 00:10:40 +0000 UTC View PostLynn couldn't help but be astonished by the "advanced" political system in the land of the wizards, which seemed to operate under a fast-paced democratic parliamentary structure.
But upon further reflection, it made perfect sense. High-level wizards were akin to entire armies on their own, and denying them corresponding rights would only breed chaos.
In this world, the status of wiz...

The relentless raindrops pounded on the deck, creating a series of crisp, low-pitched notes. Inside the cabin, Lynn awoke from a night of continuous nightmares.
Once he had a clear view of his surroundings, Lynn couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The sudden appearance of the goddess's apparition last night had put significant psychological pressure on hi...

A burly man tightly gripped a longsword in his hand, with a fierce intent to strike Loude, but as the blade descended, it suddenly stopped in its tracks. His once menacing expression contorted into one filled with doubt, and he cautiously inquired, "Mr. Loude, do you really want me to strike?"
