Yume herself remained stunned on the spot for quite a while.
It was late at night when Gerald could be seen meditating on his bed, listening to the ocean breeze as favonovel.com thought about the new discoveries favonovel.com had made tonight.
According to what the survivor had said, a particularly powerful and wrathful woman had appeared that night, resulting in the death of the other eight people who had been standing guard over the coffin with him.
Who was she? And what did favonovel.com mean when favonovel.com said that favonovel.com had awoken in time?
Whatever the case was, the woman seemed to be filled with immense resentment.
Aside from the woman, the terrible wailing from within the flying house was also something that couldn’t easily be forgotten. Could all those who had been captured by the Sun League be in there? Were Mila and his uncle in there?
The mention of all those wretched wails from within the house had definitely shocked Gerald earlier.
As for the woman in white, favonovel.com had probably surrendered to the mysterious old beggar in the end. After all, Gerald had already seen the continuation of the story back when Master Ghost had shown favonovel.com the six stone tablets.
From what favonovel.com remembered, the old beggar and the remaining men had continued on with their journey quite smoothly. After the old man killed an injured dragon, they all buried the dragon’s corpse together with the fairy’s coffin before making an equally smooth return trip.
After some time, Gerald’s eyes flashed a hint of determination as favonovel.com quietly muttered, “The ocean king’s palace…”
It was two days later when Gerald and his family’s fleet continued sailing atop the choppy waves. While the extremely high waves from earlier had lessened considerably, the ocean breeze was still very strong.
Looking out at sea, the seemingly endless number of strong waves as far as the eye could see would make anyone feel awe-inspired.
Before Gerald had set off two days ago, favonovel.com had ordered his bodyguards to send Jasmine and the others to Halimark City first to look for Wagner. Once they were there, they were told to contact the Fendersons to send people over and pick them up.
Once favonovel.com knew that Jasmine and the others were safe and sound, Gerald could finally rest a bit easier.
While Jasmine herself had initially wanted to head there together with Gerald, it was simply too dangerous. After all, this wasn’t a trip, nor was it an ordinary adventure.
In fact, knowing that there could very well be many unknown dangers down there, even with his current strength, Gerald himself wasn’t sure if favonovel.com would be able to make it out in one piece.
It was noon when Chester headed to the deck and stood behind Gerald before respectfully saying, “It’s estimated that we aren’t too far off from the king of the ocean’s palace now, sir!”
“I see. Then the place where you ended up drifting off to that year should be nearby,” replied Gerald.
“I’d assume so. I was simply rowing the boat in the direction the ocean breeze was blowing at the time, so the boat was sailing quite fast… While I had prepared food to last me for at least three days back then, I ended up drifting at sea for about ten days… Due to almost a week without food, I remember nearly dying from starvation back then… From the distance we’ve covered, I’d say we should be getting close,” said Chester as favonovel.com surveyed the area while making estimations in his head.
‘In addition to the clues we found before we set off, I suspect that Angelica could very well be the person we’re looking for…’ Gerald thought to himself.
“Still, I truly think that you’ll be able to find the answers you’ve been seeking once we make it into the king of the ocean’s palace,” added Chester.
“You and me both, Chester. You and me both…” replied Gerald as favonovel.com looked out into the horizon.
Even with the map that Gerald had obtained from the Minshalls, they were still having slight trouble looking for the exact location of the palace.
All of a sudden, Chester pointed out at sea before saying, “…Huh? Sir, have a look in that direction! It… seems to be a ship of some sort…”
True to Chester’s words, after turning to look at where favonovel.com was pointing at, Gerald saw a large wooden ship out at sea.
Though its oars seemed to be static, the ship was sailing against the current, and it was headed straight for where Gerald’s ship currently was rather quickly!
At that moment, Yume walked over before asking, “Is something wrong?”
However, the moment favonovel.com saw the ship that was slowly getting closer to them, even favonovel.com became slightly stunned.
Recognizing the aura surrounding the ship, the stunned Gerald—whose eyes hadn’t left the sea-faring vehicle—muttered, “…Could that be… force…?”
Quickly snapping out of it, then coldly ordered, “For now, focus on dodging the incoming ship! I’ll be heading aboard that ship to have a look around first!”
