Chapter 728 - Three Routes
Angor gazed at the clear blue sky through the window.
“Is this really Devil’s Water? Well, Lucas’ diary said something like the God of Ocean blessed him with everlasting peaceful weather. Was he talking about here?”
Normally, this was a crazy idea in these parts, but Angor was not so sure about it when The Limpet had enjoyed calm waters for an entire week after leaving the foggy area.
Still, he didn’t believe that this place was “peaceful”. They never ran into any sea monsters these days, which might not be a good thing.
Without work to do, Toby lay sprawled out on the balcony enjoying the sunlight.
Angor yawned and also walked under the light to get rid of the humidness in the room.
“Wherever this place is, it’s good to have the warm sun on the winter sea.”
When he decided to return inside to keep up his crafting research, he suddenly noticed that the deck area below was awfully quiet today. Usually, there would be sailors yelling at each other. But now, he only saw one single sailor leaning against a pole mast with a pale face.
“I’ll tell the decision to Captain Erwin now.” Helen picked up her chart and prepared to leave.
Angor glanced at the map again and noticed another straight course in the middle of the mentioned three, but it was marked by a skull.
“What is this?” he asked.
Helen looked and widened her eyes. “Sir, this is an extremely hazardous area that even wizards from the association would not enter unprepared. Mister Roman once told us that this is called the Specter Basin, haunted by countless ghosts. Any ship that wanders inside will end up as a ghost ship and never to get out.”
“Specter Basin? I see…”
Angor waited for Helen to fold the map before he asked the question he had been wondering today, “Hey Helen, is this area always sunny like this every time you came?”
