“Raise th' anchor lads!”

“Aye, raise th’ anchor!”

Following the shout of Isabela, the sailors started raising the shi+p’s anchor The sounds of large thick chains buainst the side of the shi+p were heard as it was ready to set sail

This shi+p was your regular large sail shi+p with a lot of space for cargo Thanks to the spatial y in this world a shi+p like this could carry a staggering nuht and saved up space for the crew members and travelers Due to this, there were quite a nu one of theroup of travelers just like hi solo, the rest either had some friends, business partners, or other kinds of companions

This was a merchant shi+p which also meant that it had a lot of protection He could see various adventurers battle-ready and in gear If not for the destruction of his card he could have also saved so as last time He at least hoped that he could spend this trip without anything going horribly wrong

Roland didn’t really have anything to do now There was no one that he knew and talking to strangers was so that he wouldn’t do He wished that he could repair some of his iteone through the bulk of the the bandit attack

There was just no privacy here though He had glanced down into the lower deck where everyone was supposed to sleep It didn’t look too good, a person was supposed to either sleep on the wooden floor or in a hammock It also smelled like seawater and sweat down there, the lack of ventilation alsohard

‘This is it huh?’

He looked out into the distance The people that had come to wave at them as they departed were already out of view He looked at the port town getting s moment There were so but with tiht back to his adventures on the main continent There weren’t many treasured moments that he could think back to His stay at the Arden estate was already buried deep and soet about

There weren’t that many people that he reme encounters with a couple of adventurers but years had already passed since those times He didn’t think that they would remember him that much for the couple of months he spent with them

Life moved forward and so he would also have to He wanted to leave the past behind and th he would be able to relax He knew that it wouldn’t be easy but if he took precautions and bettered hioal

He knew of the existence of hybrid classes Ones that co professions with more battle focused classes He just needed to see if he could nab one after his next class change

If there wasn’t anything available he was also considering taking so like a runic weaponsht be able to somehow make it work

A weaponsmith class lacked any active or passive skills that increased his battle strength directly though The runic variant would probably be the sah ic runes more proficiently He would just need to procure the runic version of skills of other battle classes Just like he did with the mana slash and mana thrust runes

‘Wait, maybe the runic armorsmith would be a better choice I will be able to fit more runes on a suit of armor than a sword…’

He rubbed his chin while conte, there were a couple of possibilities with his class options He could also take one that focused on runes only Then he could just order arular blacksmith instead That would lower the custo profession sooner or later

“Well looky here, wha' are ye doin' here all alone, wants big sis t' keep ye co a wo around he noticed that it was the woman that he previously met This was this shi+p’s first mate, she went by Isabela and for some reason, she was interested in him

“Uh, no thanks I’ like this so he wasn’t really sure how to react The woave him a somewhat seductive look To Roland, it felt as if she was so at a juicy piece ofto her but he was mentally older than the woman that looked to be in her late-twenties It was true that with a high enough vitality stat her real age her

He realized what she was after but he didn’t feel co like that This was a shi+p filled with people and he barely knew this wo off some steam after the bandit attack would feel enjoyable but he just wasn’t the type to juar, 'tis goin' t' be a long trip 'n thar ain't much t' do around here Jus' relax 'n 'ave su bottle of ru The moment she came closer the stretch of alcohol washed over Roland and e

“No it’s fine, I really don’t need a drink”

He just shook his head whileto the side Isabela was just about to lean on hirasp herself on the shi+p railing

“Look lads, Isabela got due was noticed by the sailors They started pointing fingers at their firstout loud

“She be losin' her touch, ettin' old”

Roland started toon Isabela’s forehead She even pulled out her saber fro it at her crew , Emmett?”

She pointed the sharp tool at the sailor’s nether region and he instantly backed away This didn’t stop the otheras they chuckled ahilst their first mate cursed at them The whole scene only stopped after the captain ca and he was now free to think in peace

The day flew by and it was night This he spent in the coht above the resistance he would be fine with only a couple of hours of it It looked like the trip would be uneventful and that he would arrive at his new home soon

But on the second day, the sailor that was atop of theRoland looked out into the distance but couldn’t see anything The person above had a specialized sea fairing scout-like class and he could tell that so

“A monster off the starboard bow, incoht, 1 or 2 o clock…’

Roland was curious about as co It was the middle of the next day but the sea was dark and , he could try to activate his detection device but with its lie, he decided otherwise For now, he decided towhile he examined it from a distance
