Book 5: Chapter 41
** 10km off the shores of Saint Knight Kingdom **
The sea was quiet at night. The water surface was so calm that it even reflected the starlight.
『…………』
However, in the dark sea, even deeper darkness emerged to the surface. It was big enough to swallow an entire village, but it stayed still near the surface of the sea, and then slowly sank.
** Saint Knight Kingdom Port Town, Zackerhafen **
「I found it, young miss, head. There are four magic ships in Zackerhafen.」
The cold light of a magic lamp illuminated the room. Four men sat around a small table. Lark was sitting on a bed and listening to them.
These people have been following the “Boss” Kook since their bandit days. They conducted small-scale raids with the policy of “Attack people but do not hurt them. Take their money but not too much”. As such, they have been able to avoid the town guards and lived by barely getting by.
Their roles have not changed since those days.
