When the white light disappeared, Kieran found himself in a narrow room.
The shaking under his feet was enough for Kieran to know where he was. It was a ship.
"Am I on the way to the Trial Island?"
Kieran glanced over the Main Mission background again before sizing up his surroundings.
His backpack was beside his feet and he was leaning on the wooden hammock that was supposed to be his. On the other side of the hammock was a cabin post with a calendar hanging on it.
It was the date on the calendar.
It was the end of spring and summer was just around the corner.
It had been more than four months since he left the dungeon world.
However, what he saw through the round window was still the middle of winter.
No!
It was a coldness that was even more chilling than the deep winter.
White!
Boundless whiteness filled the entire world.
Even with Kieran's eyesight, he could not see what was at the end.
All he could see was white snow and a translucent layer of ice. uu1;
The ship that he was on was sailing slowly on a sea route.
As the ship slowly sailed forward.
The thin layer of ice on the surface of the sea was pushed away and started to flow to both sides. Some of the ice broke into smaller shards but most of the shards overlapped with the sturdy ice that did not move at all.
Kieran looked at the sturdy ice, his heart trembling with fear.
He had no doubt that if the person at the helm of the ship was careless and moved the rudder slightly, the ship would be destroyed and everyone on board would die.
"It must be an experienced captain who had been here for a long time."
Kieran deduced with certainty.
Apart from the experience accumulated over a long period of time, no one could navigate through these layers of ice.
No matter how talented one was, it was impossible.
Using some special and mysterious means.
However, that wasn't something an ordinary person could possess.
In other words, it was impossible for someone with that kind of ability to sail a ship here.
However, nothing was absolute in this world.
Kieran would never forget what he was going to do on the ship.
The Trial of the Templar
No one could guarantee the identity of the person driving the ship.
It was possible that he was just an ordinary captain.
But it could be.
He was the examiner of the test.
Kieran had seen this kind of inconspicuous trick more than once as a bystander at the place where he used to work.
He saw an unexpected surprise.
It was even more awkward.
But no matter what it was, what Kieran remembered the most were the smiles of those who had the power to decide.
Smiling in the face of surprise. uu2;
Facing an awkward smile.
Smiles never change, because they always gain something.
The former was a usable talent, the latter was a usable reputation.
Kieran clearly remembered when one of the higher-ups who had the power to decide reprimanded an arrogant candidate and fired the two interviewees, the whole company changed drastically.
It might seem like the company lost two skilled workers but the benefits it brought was ten times, no, a hundred times more.
So, Kieran didn't object to the method.
However, he didn't want to be a part of it.
Being a bystander was the best choice.
Therefore, even though Kieran sensed a few presences that were far stronger than normal people in the cabin, he didn't have the intention to investigate.
Squinting his eyes, Kieran laid down on the wooden hammock.
The thin mattress and quilt were enough to make people complain under the cold weather. But for Kieran who had Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance, the cold was nothing but a cool breeze.
Kieran's breath started to slow down and become orderly.
The power that represented the Knights of Dawn Body Tempering Art in his body started to circulate throughout his body, changing his body at a slow speed that even he himself could not accurately judge.
But there was one thing that Kieran was sure of.
When the Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art reached its peak, his body would surely welcome an earth-shattering change.
It would be a qualitative change.
Before that, although he had the system's support, grinding was still necessary.
Time passed minute by minute.
When the sky turned completely dark, a simple meal was placed on a plate and carried by a sailor to Kieran.
Three pieces of dry bread and a pitiful piece of vegetables and a piece of ham.
The vegetables were shriveled and didn't have any texture.
The same went for the ham. When placed in his mouth, it felt like he was biting a piece of hard cowhide.
The drink that he was drinking was called hot cocoa, but it wasn't hot at all. At most, it was room temperature and it didn't taste sweet at all.
In simple words, there was nothing praiseworthy about the meal.
However, when Kieran heard the ice shoveling noises outside, he didn't feel any dissatisfaction. uu3;
In order to prevent the ship from freezing, they could still continue sailing.
Every once in a while, the sailors would remove the ice on the ship and under it.
Compared to the sailors who had to work in a harsh environment, Kieran considered himself lucky.
More so, the food was much better than fast food.
Kieran wolfed down the dry bread, a piece of vegetable, and a piece of ham. He then drank the hot cocoa in one gulp.
Then, he let out a satisfied breath.
It would be better if he had more.
Kieran thought.
However, not everyone was as satisfied as Kieran.
"What is this?
Are you going to feed me pig food? "
"No!"
"Even pigs eat better than this! Don't forget that I paid enough to board the ship, it was enough for me to buy this broken ship of yours … Ugh!"
Before the word 'ship' could be uttered, the clamoring stopped abruptly.
Around 10 seconds later, a splash was heard.
What was it?
The answer was obvious.
"It's stricter than I thought."
Kieran had already guessed it, so he gave his comment without showing any emotions.
Then, he prepared to continue practicing Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art.
However, a series of footsteps heading towards his cabin interrupted him.
