Typically, people avoid pirates, not storms. How could one possibly evade massive weather phenomena? Moreover, the storms in the Nightmare Strait would never disappear as long as the Lighthouse Keeper’s curse over Miarma remained unbroken.
Yenkos looked at Isaac with a doubtful expression.
“Sir Holy Grail Knight, you must not know much about the sea. The sea doesn’t have shortcuts like forests or cliffs.”
