I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 273 - 189: Boarding the Ship (Double-Length)

The Fire Seed Ship is about to dock.

Due to the recent announcements, the majority of people on Ozuric Island have accepted the Kingdom's arrangement and started to take their eligible relatives to register, hoping to board the Fire Seed Ship.

However, many also believe that the Fire Seed Ship cannot reach a safe place, pinning their hopes on Ozuric Island.

In any case, everything is progressing tensely but orderly as time passes.

Today is the day Rogel and the others are setting off.

The boarding point for the Fire Seed Ship is in the eastern city district of the Royal City, the closest point to the Sea of Sin.

At this moment, Kadi and the Shadow Leader and others are heading to the eastern city district with the crew of the Gelin to see them off.

Meanwhile, Rogel is watching the fair-skinned, beautiful girl Mira beside him, lost in thought.

She is currently engaged in a discussion about a book's content with the tall Kadi, arguing non-stop, just like when they were onboard.

It's quite an odd thing.

On the ship, one was sitting in a wheelchair, and the other was inserting feathers as a poet.

But now, the one in the wheelchair suddenly stood up, and the frail poet became a king.

The only thing that hasn't changed is their mutual cursing during arguments.

"This passage doesn't relate to Moqueto at all. I've seen it with my own eyes; its eyes aren't set in sockets at all. The author is just making things up, so none of his other words can be trusted; this book is worthless!"

"Fantasy elements. It's fantasy elements, do you understand? Can you have some appreciation level?"

"..."

It's truly a reminder of how unpredictable life can be.

Yet Rogel's focus is not on this.

[Special State (Hidden): Endured the curse of an unknown ritual, it hasn't affected the host in any way. Has it... disappeared?]

Rogel withdrew his gaze, his eyes flickering.

Mira's curse is really strange.

Previously, it kept sucking her blood, making her continuously weak, but now suddenly withdrew its influence, allowing Mira to stand like a normal person.

For what purpose?

It's undeniably puzzling.

Retracting his gaze, Rogel looks towards the crew discussing the issue of the Penance Strait with the Shadow Leader and others.

"So... the people who come in from outside the Penance Strait mostly end up here due to getting lost or by sheer coincidence?"

After listening to the Shadow Leader, Lina asked curiously.

Actually, even in the Sea of Sin, there is a tiny number of people who come from outside the Penance Strait.

Even in the dangerous Sea of Sin, the intelligence network managed for years by the Shadow of the Divine Descendant can reach.

Therefore, the Shadow Leader still holds some relevant intelligence.

But even the Shadow of the Divine Descendant does not have precise information.

The most known situation is mostly a small group inadvertently stepping into unknown zones and getting lost, thus being forced to come here.

Among them is also a rather unique group, including not just humans but also some strange intelligent species.

...Whether they can communicate or not remains uncertain.

And the outer world information obtained by the Shadow of the Divine Descendant from their mouths... how should I put it, it's really bewildering.

Some say they live in a barren sea, where the environment of the Five Great Seas is a paradise by comparison.

Others claim to come from a prosperous Empire where powerful Extraordinary often appear, but this Empire is established by Demons, humans enslaved under control, like grass.

The Shadow of the Divine Descendant has even communicated with some unknown species with bizarre appearances yet distinct intelligence.

But the responses were... Sumimasei can't understand Samida Aba Aba...

"This is the only way to explain it."

The Shadow Leader expressed reluctance.

"Their explanations are chaotic and entirely different, with no decisive information, and the truth is untraceable."

Then the Shadow Leader further explained their investigations on the Penance Strait over these years.

"We've also paid attention and even dispatched many boats into the Penance Strait."

"But the peripheral regions are rife with dangers and monsters; deeper areas are a one-way trip, hardly anyone has returned."

The people who go in can't come back, and outsiders don't know where to enter.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Penance Strait.

However, at this point, the Shadow Leader's tone suddenly changed.

"But it's not that no one ever succeeded. There was once a lookout in a fleet that the organization was watching who successfully returned."

By now, everyone was deeply absorbed in the story.

Noemi anxiously shook her tail: "Someone did it? What did he say? What happened next? Tell us, Shadow Leader uncle!"

The Shadow Leader, seeing this, became embarrassed: "Actually, his words aren't very useful because he was already insane when he returned."

"At that time, the organization found him in a corner of the black market in the Sea of Sin. He was filthy, stinking, starving, and delirious; when found, he was muttering crazy words like 'kill, kill' incessantly."

"And he soon after died."

"So the valuable information he provided was only limited to the fact that the Penance Strait does indeed lead to the outside world."

"If not for the Kingdom's chronicles clearly recording that the original King led a fleet through the mist into the Five Seas, no one would believe the legend of the Penance Strait now..."

After the Shadow Leader finished, everyone fell into contemplation.

It's unexpected that the Penance Strait is such a place, no wonder there are few visitors and hardly any rumors.

So on this journey, the biggest challenge they face might not necessarily be danger, but more so... the unknown!

While chatting casually along the way, they finally approached the coastal eastern district of Ozuric Island.
