Chapter 323: Black Sail (2/2)

Aragon shrugged with a gentle smile. ”Forests, dense forests.”

”This world is truly too wonderful. My vocabulary has a lot of words that need to be filled in. I previously read some book in the Royal Library that described the sea. However, I took a trip all around Arborea, and the most we had there was a lake, but no sea.

Lola slightly nodded.

The two chattered for a while when Aragon suddenly pointed at the lonely figure at the end of the ship and whispered, ”About Sir Marvin, do you understand him?”

Being asked a question like this so suddenly, Lola fiddled with her fingers and asked, ”He's younger than me, likes to be in the limelight, and is a Swimming Fish… would this count as understanding?”

Seeing Lola's serious expression, Aragon felt speechless.

'Is she serious?'

'The powerful Sir Marvin… In this girl's eyes, is such a simple youth?'

Aragon was doubtful.

That was someone who could defeat a god!

In Nottingheim, everyone was practically worshipping Marvin. These days in White River Valley he could also feel the love and respect that the inhabitants had for him.

But what surprised him was that this kind of love and respect wasn't a kind of worship.

And someone like Lola looked at Marvin even more differently.

This Chief of Finance was grateful toward Marvin. Because he gave her a chance to use her talents.

Apart from that, she didn't seem to have another particular feeling.

Aragon was getting more curious about Marvin.

He was about to continue asking Lola, but at that time, he heard a strange sound.

This sound was mixed in the sea breeze, and others most likely couldn't notice.

But Aragon was different!

He trained in the way of the Storm Swordsmen, and had an affinity toward the wind!

He turned and saw a few shadows faintly appearing in the distance.

”What is that?” Aragon wondered aloud.

”Pirates.

He didn't know when, but Marvin had already come over and was watching the approaching shadows.

Aragon was a bit startled.

He hadn't expected Marvin to notice this before him.

Before he could ask what the word ”Pirates” meant, the ship became noisy and lively!

The sailors seemed uneasy.

It was clear that the lookout had seen the shadows approaching!

Roberts' face paled. He quickly approached Marvin. ”Lord, it's the [Black Sails Fleet].”

”This is open sea. Their base should be in the North Sea's fog-covered archipelago. They probably robbed a merchant fleet and are on their way back.”

”But if we let them catch up, they might not mind getting a few more treasures!”

”Our speed is comparable to theirs, but if Lord's servant makes a move…”

Roberts was talking about the Wind Fairy.

With the Wind Fairy's help, the Black Sails Fleet wouldn't be able to catch up.

But he couldn't have expected Marvin to shake his head and indifferently give the order:

”Prepare for battle.”
