章 481: The Power of the Sea

As the Roaring Lady set sail from Isalin, the wind filling its sails and carrying it out to sea, Nicholas, Lyle, and the others gathered on deck to watch the port city fade into the distance. Ahead lay the open ocean and the unknown challenges of their journey to the Sundering Isles.

As they sailed, Nicholas and Drake discussed their route and the dangers they might encounter along the way. Drake shared stories of his past adventures on the sea, regaling them with tales of storms, sea monsters, and daring escapes.

Lyle, of course, noticed immediately that the stories of the ship captain were either fake or largely exaggerated. As a pro, it was easy for Lyle to notice when somebody was lying or not speaking the entire truth.
