789 Chapter 789 Setting Sail
“I see not until the second day after departure. Got it.” Marcus said after Dustin answered his question.
During the first day the waters off the shores of Borealia were pretty deep and some very large creatures lurked down there.
The ship had enchantments that camouflaged it to make it seem like part of the ocean and those beasts and monsters in the depth would not notice them most of the time.
However, in the past a truly frightening creature once came up on the lines and it was now forbidden to fish until they reached shallower waters.
“Now please allow me to show you around the rest of the ship.” Dustin said.
With expert knowledge cultivated by being a member of the crew for several years Dustin led Marcus and Mrazivý around and showed them everything that they had access to aboard the ship.
“Thank you for showing us around. I think for now we are going to go settle into our room until the ship departs.” Mrazivý said at the end of their tour.
“It was my pleasure. And feel free to ask me or any of the other crew for anything you might need during your stay.” Dustin said before heading off.
Once he was gone Marcus and Mrazivý returned to their room, and the moment the door was closed Mrazivý fixed Marcus with a serious look.
“That tiger beast woman, you know her, don’t you?”
Taken aback, Marcus had not expected to be suddenly asked this.
Nevertheless, he had no reason to hide it and told Mrazivý about Treasa.
“I see. A temporary party member when you were in Lethallan. So, she is one of the ones you fought the boss monster with.”
“Yeah, she was a real help. Without her contributions it would have been impossible for us to win. She even got the finishing blow on the thing.” Marcus said with a nostalgic smile.
It was at this moment that for the first time they felt the ship move and it lurched forwards ever so slightly.
“I suppose that we are finally beginning to move. Did you want to head back up to the top deck and watch?” Mrazivý asked.
Nodding his head, Marcus was more than happy to, and the both of them made their way on up.
Yet when they arrived, they found the place was quite crowded and all of the railing space where one could look out was being taken up.
‘Do they really need all that room.’ Marcus thought as he turned an annoyed gaze towards numerous noble guests.
Many of them had large sofas that were set up for them to watch the launch of the ship and their servants were blocking off huge areas to make sure no one else got near.
“We can get a better view from up there anyway.” Mrazivý said, pointing to the top of the sails that were still tied up.
The ship they were on had a mana engine to use as propulsion, but it also had sails since it would be too costly to only use the engine.
“Sure. Sounds like a good idea.”
Moving stealthily, the two of them made it to an area where there were no people and flew up to the top of the sails.
From there they had a better view than anyone and gazed out at Loursend as it started to get smaller.
Then when the massive port city was only a small sliver on the horizon, they turned towards the ocean and marveled at the sparkling water that went on for as far as the eye could see.
‘Even after all I have witnessed on this world. This is still a sight to behold.’
For nearly forty minutes the two of them simply stood up on the highest point of the ship and looked out at the ocean
Occasionally they would see flocks of birds flying since they were still near the shore, and at one point a pod of some sort of whale breeched the surface before disappearing back down into the water.
“Hey! What the hell are you two doing up there!”
Suddenly being yelled at, Marcus and Mrazivý looked down to find members of the crew glaring at them.
They had apparently come to unfurl the sails and noticed that they were standing at the top of them.
“Guess it is time that we head back.” Mrazivý said with the best innocent smile she could.
Of course, they did not climb down and apologize for going somewhere they should not have, and instead jumped off and flew down to the deck before making their escape.
Back inside their room they had a good laugh at their escape and discussed whether or not they should change their disguises a bit.
“I doubt they got a good enough look to recognize us with certainty. I think it would be more conspicuous if we changed out hair colors again.” Mrazivý said.
“Fine, it probably won’t be a problem anyway.”
With that settled the two of them pulled out a pamphlet that listed the events that were going on and picked out the ones they wanted to go to.
“I think that the concert tonight is something we need to go to. I read that ship recently picked up one of the best musicians on the continent.” Marcus said.
“That sounds good. I wonder if they might have some songs I have never heard. Since this is a ship that travels up the entire coast of the continent Borealia is on to pick up passengers.”
Having decided on their first choice the both of them got ready.
They naturally could not attend the concert in just whatever clothing they liked and got dressed up a bit for it.
When they were ready the two of them left their room and ascended to the second deck.
The large concert hall was located on that level and towards the back.
“They really went all out for this place didn’t they.” Marcus said in awe of the hall.
“Nothing new there. This entire ship is about as high class as possible. Now our seats are up high and far in the back. I guess that is what we can expect from buying the cheapest tickets.”
“We did not want to stand out by dropping too much money. And anyway, it is not like either of us have problems hearing.”
Once they had found their seats, they got comfortable and looked down at the stage.
There was a lone piano off to the side and a microphone-like magic tool sitting at the front.
Time passed by slowly as they waited for the concert to start, and they passed their boredom by watching the types of people that were coming in and making a game of finding certain characteristics.
“Got one. That guy over there is over level fifty. I guess we are not the only guests that are stronger than average.” Mrazivý said, pointing out a large man sitting near the center of the stage.
“Huh but I got a rejected reading from him because of some magic item. It is not fair that your dragon eyes can see through almost anything.”
“Just one of my many advantageous.” Mrazivý said with a proud grin.
The two of them continued to mess around until finally the lights began to dim and the pianist walked out onto stage.
Then following shortly after him was the singer who caused both Mrazivý and Marcus a bit of shock.
