Chapter 224: The closing act of a falling star (1)

The ship, a formidable vessel with its sturdy wooden construction and massive sails, seemed like a defiant conqueror of the sea.  The tedious waves breaking upon contact with the massive wooden construction created a symphony of crashing sounds that echoed throughout the ship.

The crew bustled about the ship, a well-orchestrated ballet of coordinated efforts. Some tended to the rigging, adjusting sails with expertise honed through years of experience. Others engaged in a relentless battle with each other, throwing dice in a simple betting activity hoping that luck would be on their side that day.
