As dusk fell, Morris was summoned to the captain's cabin.
Duncan sat behind the nautical chart table with a serious expression, his desk brimming with a chaotic collection of books—from those brought on board from Prand and Frost to others obtained from the Mist Fleet.
After confirming that reading at sea was "harmless," the ship's library had steadily grown.
Morris glanced at the table and noted the diverse categories of the books—ranging from bizarre tales from each City-State to authoritative historical documents and even "dangerous books" on fringe theories like doomsday and revelations.
A wave of curiosity and slight anxiety swept through the old scholar.
It seemed the captain had suddenly wanted to find some information, and judging by the books he had taken out, what he was looking for was probably not simple—his calling Morris here most likely pertained to this matter.
