Black Sail

Sefer’s back was covered in cold sweat, and he didn’t know who he had provoked. He carefully thought back on recent times, wondering if he had offended anyone.

But he couldn’t recall anything.

Swan worked fast and was already using a special clay that mimicked skin texture to alter Sefer’s appearance. This didn’t require a custom look, just a change of features, and it wouldn’t take long.

Soon Sefer had transformed into a generic face, and Swan’s work was officially done.

This operation

was largely for Liszt to profit from. If he didn’t give other key members their share, it would turn into a straightforward case of using someone else to do his dirty work, and that would change the nature of things.

Although Liszt had the greatest say in the Black Sail, everyone had to obey the captain’s commands, but to truly lead and consolidate his authority, he had to cover all bases.

Liszt ordered Swan to search the bodies and rob the three men of all their valuables.

What a haul.

As expected of those attending the auction, Sefer’s trusted aides carried with them twenty blood-red Magic Energy Crystals of excellent quality, glowing and extremely eye-catching. Their value was unknown at the moment, requiring appraisal, but these were undoubtedly significant goods.

There was plenty of Golden Dragon too. Coming from the Southeast Province, even though such Great Nobles certainly had their own means of transport, they still needed money for food and lodging. Over two hundred coins were found, plus Sefer’s daughter’s wristbands, necklaces—everything was taken off.
