Bab 1022: Protection

F***!

What do they do now?

Everyone felt a wave of fear slowly inched its way into their hearts.

And coupled with the darkness all around them, they felt genuinely helpless.

Whether it was day or night, the hallways always remained dark unless one moved with a flaming torch by them.

Of course, there were always unlit touches against the walls that typically got lit once in a while.

But since the entire ship was made of wood, no one played like that.

If the ship burned, they all drowned. That's why torches were only lit when need be.

Plus, the eye patches help them adjust from day to night when they move in and out, back and forth the deck.

Be it pirates or even merchants, they all covered one eye with a black scarf or eye patch from time to time.

This way, the light and changes don't just blind them all at once... Especially when running out to face an enemy.
