The wooden boat sailed in the sea for about three days, finally reaching its destination - Ivephia Island.
Ivephia isn't large - it's a small island nation that thrives on foreign trade and fishing.
The island doesn't have any arable land, all vegetables and grains are imported from abroad, thus making them very expensive. Only the wealthy could afford these items, they are beyond the means of the poor.
However, seafood was plentiful and cheap. Almost every household had fishing nets and rods, some of the poor would trade their catch with foreign merchants in exchange for grains.
These past days, An Yeran has been feeling awful.
Besides seasickness, she had been having strange dreams about a pair of hands that kept touching her face.
This caused her restless nights, and in the end, she couldn't take it anymore and decided, even if it meant she was going to be sick and vomit non-stop, she would not sleep at all!
