The second-class cabin was not big. Apart from the two wooden beds, there was only a small table and a cabinet connected to the cabin. If the luggage was added, it would be even more cramped. If the two of them sat on their respective beds, their cheeks would be less than ten centimeters apart.
In such a small space, Lolo felt like she could neither sit nor lie down. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles for the rest of the afternoon. When Six Flowers was far enough away from Sword Bend Harbor, the girl found an excuse and hurriedly ran out of the cabin. "I … I want to stay on the deck for a while."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, no, no, it's fine. You haven't rested well for the past two days in order to escape the pursuit of the Temple of God and the Magic Association. Why don't you take this opportunity to take a nap? I'm just going to enjoy the breeze," the girl quickly said.
"Oh, it's fine. I just need to meditate for half an hour."
"Huh? I-I … I'm more used to enjoying the breeze alone, "Lolo stammered.
Rob raised his eyebrows, but he did not insist.
The girl escaped from the cabin and walked to the railing. She looked down at the blue sea and took a deep breath, finally calming down a little.
In fact, she was not as calm as she appeared after knowing the identity of a certain person. Everyone in the Dawn Continent knew the name Atleid-Richard Holstein. Lolo did not expect this person, who had been following her every day and practicing swordsmanship for almost two years without any improvement, to be the strongest genius in the magic world after Roland in the history of magic. In fact, other than the fact that they shared the same name, even Lolo could not link the two together.
However, this also explained a lot of things that happened before. From the beginning of the adventure in the Endless Forest to the recent trip to Oglin, she seemed to be blessed by the Goddess of Luck and always managed to avert danger. But now, looking back, the root of the matter was obviously not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The real reason was that there was a certain guy who had been protecting her silently by her side all the time.
However, the reason why Rob escaped from the Royal College of Magic and Magic made the girl not know whether to laugh or cry. This guy just wanted to return to his hometown and live an ordinary life.
If someone told her this before she met Rob, Lolo would definitely think that the person was crazy. However, after spending two years with Rob, she knew that this was indeed something that he would do.
The girl sighed. She knew why Rob hid this from her. From the moment Rob revealed his identity, she could not help but worry. In the past, she was alone. If she chose to embark on this path, the worst result would be nothing more than losing her life. She would have to see her mother. She was already in a dilemma because Rob had a special identity. Your Honor, the future Supreme Magus, did not only represent herself. Lolo did not want others, especially those innocent people, to be involved in her affairs.
The city of Gudilesi that night was a living example. Because of her, many shops and houses were destroyed that night, and many civilians were injured. It was not only the masters of the underworld who came for the huge bounty offered by the Divine Temple, but also some gangs in Gudilesi who took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Before the Association of Sorcerers took action, the situation in the city was on the verge of losing control.
Lolo did not want to see this happen again.
…
There were many people on the deck. Most of them were here to watch the sunset.
The red sunset slowly set the horizon, and the afterglow of the sunset dyed the nearby sea a rosy color. Although Lolo had been sailing at sea for more than half a year before she came to Gudilesi City, she still felt that the scenery was beautiful and magnificent no matter how many times she saw it.
Lolo was wearing a simple disguise, but it could not fool the real masters. Therefore, she did not plan to stay on the deck for too long. She could not go back to the place where she lived for the time being, so she planned to sit in the tea room below for a while. There should not be many people there.
However, when she was about to leave, she heard an exclamation behind her. "Look, there are people who fell into the water!"
The sailor on the observation deck saw a few pieces of wood floating on the sea in the distance with binoculars. It seemed that there were two people lying on the wood, dead or alive. He quickly reported the discovery to the captain.
People who made a living on the sea could encounter danger at any time. Most people hoped that others could help them when they were in danger. Therefore, when they encountered similar situations, they would rarely leave people to die.
Therefore, Six Flowers slightly deviated from the established route and fished the two people out. Unfortunately, they seemed to have been floating on the sea for too long. One of the women had died, and the other man was breathing weakly. However, the good news was that he was only weak because he had not eaten or drank for a long time.
The captain asked someone to carry the person into the cabin and found an old sailor with a lame leg to take care of him.
The onlookers on the deck gradually dispersed. After that, they gathered in groups of three to five and began to guess the identity of the two people and the reason why they fell into the water.
Not only was the sea beautiful, but it also contained many dangers. Apart from the storms that were everywhere, there were also some sea beasts that lived in the sea. Compared to the magical beasts on land, these sea beasts were more docile. However, many ships that passed by were attacked by them for various reasons. Some places were also frequented by pirates. Their targets were mostly merchant ships and passenger ships that passed by.
Apart from that, there was also the Calm Belt, which made many ships pale at the mention of it.
The Calm Belt, as the name suggested, was an area of the sea where there was no wind. Sailors always had a love-hate relationship with the sea wind. On the one hand, it was likely to bring storms, and on the other hand, it was the source of power for most ships. Ships that were trapped in the Calm Belt could not move for a few months, and eventually die of despair after running out of water and supplies.
However, unlike ordinary sailboats, Six Flowers was a multi-masted magic hybrid ship. Most of the time, it sailed on the wind like an ordinary sailboat. However, if it accidentally sailed into the Calm Belt, it could still rely on magic to continue moving forward. Also, the ship was equipped with armed forces from the Haifa Chamber of Commerce that were specially equipped to deal with pirates.
Because of its unparalleled safety, Six Flowers had always been favored by travelers. Basically, tickets would be sold out before each voyage.
