board the ship

"Put the brooch on when you get to the ship and someone will know who you are ......"

  "You may meet people with the same purpose as you, more communication will help you ......"

  "When you get to Elgrim's, you must find Lissa, besides the letter you need to give her, she has some of my old stuff there ......."

  "Your ship is on the last one, be careful not to get on the wrong one ......"

  Freya nodded her head gently quietly listening to the old man's instructions, but with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

  Salty sea breeze through the carriage window blowing on her, now the time of year is approaching autumn, some cool feeling.

  Soon the carriage stopped at the dock where the carriages were specially placed.

  The two of them got out of the carriage, Freya hung the cross sword on her waist and carried her suitcase to look into the distance.

  The sky was clear, the wind was gentle and the sea was calm, a merchant ship was slowly sailing on the sea, either coming or leaving.

  On the wharf were piles of goods to be delivered and people waiting for the ships, a few white seabirds chirped from time to time, a harmonious scene.

  Hegel found a bench under a tree and greeted Freya as she went over.

  Sitting on the bench, placing the suitcase beside her, Freya gently collected her hair, which was blown by the sea breeze, and she waited quietly with a somewhat strange mood.

  The old man on the side also seemed to be out of the mood to talk, just slightly squinting his eyes at the sea, not knowing what he was recalling.

  In such a similarly silent atmosphere, after about ten minutes or so, in the calm sea level in the distance, a row of black ships slowly appeared, approaching this side of the pier.

  Hegel, who was in contemplation, saw the fleet of black ships and stood up.

  "The flotilla is coming."

  The old man's words caused Freya to also turn her attention to that fleet of ships in the sea.

  Decent eyesight allowed her to see the general appearance of that flotilla as well, and compared to the other merchant ships, there wasn't much difference between these black merchant ships from the outside.

  Only as the flotilla rapidly approached, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

  "So big..."

  In her line of sight, the merchant ships that were no different from any other ships were huge in size.

  Like a tall building sailing on the sea, this extent was not far from the giant luxury cruise ships of her previous life.

  As the flotilla approached, the originally tranquil sea became somewhat choppy, and in the sky above the flotilla there was actually a certain number of seabirds hovering, chirping and calling.

  Just as Freya was a little shocked at the construction of this huge ship, Hegel beside her patted her shoulder and said.

  "Don't look, the fleet will only stay here for ten minutes, so hurry up."

  "Oh, good."

  Freya, who woke up with a start, immediately lifted her suitcase and walked towards the pier with the old man.

  The speed of the giant fleet of ships was fast, and they docked in no time.

  The fleet of ships that were lined up like tall buildings made half of the pier almost buried in shadows, and at this moment, just after docking, the hatch of the giant merchant ship opened directly and lowered the boarding board.

  The workers who had been waiting for a long time, as if they were rescuing the ship, quickly moved out the goods from the ship.

  And Freya and the two of them directly jogged towards the last giant ship.

  Upon reaching the location, the hatch of that last ship had just opened, and the boarding planks were slowly lowered down bound by two thick black chains, landing on top of the dock's cornerstone with a ''bam'' sound.

  Several strong men in black robes quickly stepped down from the ship and stood on either side of the entrance.

  There several gorgeously dressed people were already waiting with their luggage, seeing the boarding board fall, they quickly took out a card and handed it to the black robed men, then one by one they lined up and walked up along the boarding board.

  Not many people boarded the ship, and soon it was their turn.

  Hegel also pulled out an identical golden card from his sleeve and handed it to one of the black-robed men in hand.

  Freya glanced slightly and realised that he was handing out no other than the gold card that symbolised gold coins, and the few letters representing numbers on the back of the card made her suck in a slight breath of cold air.

  As if he didn't care about what he handed out, Hegel patted Freya's back and smiled.

  "Go on, I've already told you everything that should be explained, be careful not to forget what I told you."

  "Hmph!"

  Freya nodded heavily, gathered her mood, pinned the brooch at her left chest then dragged the suitcase to board the giant ship.

  Hegel looked at the young girl's back indifferently, and without her turning her head, he gently waved his hand before turning directly away.

  Without noticing the old man's departure, Freya boarded the ship and was seeing a black-robed man was distributing a black sign into the hands of those in front of him, and those who got the sign, immediately scattered.

  And that black-robed man soon came up to her as well, handing a black card into her hands, and said in a flat tone.

  "This is your room door card, stick it on the door lock and you can open it, be careful not to lose it or you will have to pay for it, food is supplied all day long, if you need to shout directly, your destination has been recorded, you will be notified when you arrive, is there anything else you don't understand?"

  "Well, understood."

  Freya looked at the numbers on the sign in her hand indicating the room number and nodded.

  Seeing Freya nod her head, the black-robed man was about to turn around and leave, before an old man in green robes walked in slowly at the hatchway entrance that had yet to be closed.

  The old man left hand carrying a small black suitcase, right hand on a brown wooden staff, full head of white hair is not trimmed casually scattered, but the old face a pair of brown eyes but shining.

  The black-robed man who was about to leave just now saw the appearance of the old man, his face changed slightly, and immediately trotted to meet him, his expression becoming unusually respectful as he pulled out a red sign from his waist.

  "Sir, this is your room card ......"

  "You go down."

  Before that person finished speaking, the green-robed old man waved his hand to interrupt him, and directly swept past on his wooden staff, only to freeze slightly as he passed next to Freya, his gaze but glanced at the pin on her chest.

  "I didn't expect someone with talent to actually appear here... it's really rare..."

  The soft murmur was just enough for Freya to hear.

  She immediately understood that the old man in front of her might also be a figure closely related to wizards, only before she could even think of doing something, the old man turned around and left directly with a somewhat hobbling pace.

  Watching the old man gradually walk around the corner, Freya's eyes flashed, and ultimately did not do anything.

  According to the explanation that Hegel had given her before, anyone who was related to a wizard was full of all sorts of mysteries in themselves, if there was no intention of harming people it was fine, if there was, they would die without even knowing how they would die.

  And there was no need for her to take her chances now for someone who couldn't even be considered an opportunity.

  ''Crunch, crunch.''

  The boarding board behind her was slowly pulled back by the chains, and the boat began to slowly leave the dock.

  Freya stood still and looked around.

  "Better find the room before anything else."

  She thought for a moment, dragging her suitcase towards the location on the black sign.

  The slight rocking of the ship on the sea didn't cause her much discomfort, and she soon found her room in a corner of the three-storey ship building.

  As the black-robed man indicated, she pasted the black card in her hand on the door lock, and after a slight 'click', the door of the room was opened directly.

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  The room was dark, she took out a white light stone from her waist, and the white light instantly illuminated the entire room.

  Freya put down the suitcase and casually surveyed the room environment.

  The room had a lot of space, a mahogany bed, two high-backed chairs that were also mahogany, a desk with a tea set and an oil lamp used for illumination, and a bookshelf with rows and rows of books in the leaning area.

  Freya swept a glance, but found that most of them were novels and biographies, thinking that they were put there to pass the time.

  In addition to that, Freya actually found that there was a compartment in this room, and after gently opening it, it was a special room for toilets and baths.

  With this kind of décor and facilities, if it wasn't for the fact that there weren't any electrical devices here, she would have even thought that she had returned to that familiar world.

  "Worthy of making a fare of thirty thousand gold coins...the treatment is just different." Freya murmured somewhat breathlessly.

  She walked over to the window and pulled the curtains open, the sunlight was projected through the round ship's window into the room, giving it a warm feeling.

  Vaguely, she could also hear the sound of waves coming from outside the window.

  Now that she had just arrived on the ship and was unfamiliar with the place, she didn't have much of a mind to wander around, so she simply took the meditation manual out of her suitcase and prepared to meditate.

  Currently she could already imagine the level of twelve mystical runes after these few days of exercise, and according to the meditation manual's description, if she meditated fifteen runes while reaching the second class apprentice physique, then she would be able to simply learn to control a trace of energy particles to enter into herself, in order to achieve the level of changing her physique.

  However, even if she didn't reach that level now, with the fact that she could meditate twelve runes, she could clearly feel her body slowly changing, this subtle change also seemed to have a certain increase effect on her own physique and qi, and she vaguely felt that her current strength was firmly heading towards the higher level of a Knight's Peak.

  Only, I wonder if this kind of increase would directly allow her to break through the limit and be promoted to a Grand Knight... One must know that the strength of a Grand Knight had already reached the point of inhumanity, with ordinary weapons and bows and arrows to the point where they were simply ignored, and it would be very difficult to kill a powerhouse of that level, unless it was exhausting with a pile of people or if it was a Grand Knight of the same level sparring against each other.

  "If this kind of change to the physique is universal, then don't wizards also have that terrifying physique?"

  Sitting on the soft bed, Freya thought wildly while closing her eyes and entering the meditation stage, quickly entering into formal meditation.

  Life at sea was a dull one, there was nothing particularly interesting after the novelty had worn off.

  For the next few days, apart from meditating and reading books in her room, she was in the exercise room in the ship's building condensing her sword skills to continuously improve her strength.

  As for those people who were originally on the ship with her, apart from the occasional one or two that they could run into in the cabin, most of them were also in their rooms not knowing what to do.

  This kind of life continued until the fifth day.

  The azure sky, a few white clouds slowly drifted.

  Freya, who had changed into a red dress, stood at the side of the ship, quietly looking at the undulating sea.

  The strong sea breeze blew her blonde hair backwards and forwards, a few days of living as a house girl had made her face a little pale, that's why she had planned to come outside to get some sunshine from the sea breeze.

  There were only a few commoners in sailor uniforms busy on the deck.

  The speed of the huge ship was very fast, the waves lapped against the hull from time to time, making a loud noise, Freya reckoned that this ship must have an unknown power system, or else it would be impossible to drive such a large ship with the technology of this world.

  The original row of the fleet, now because of the different destinations of the only one left is the one she is travelling on.

  Although the endless sea is magnificent, but after seeing it for a long time will also be aesthetic fatigue, and the humid sea breeze makes her skirt also a little wet, just as Freya intends to go back to the cabin, in the distance on the sea level a tiny black dot appeared in her line of sight.

  And as the ship sailed quickly, that black dot slowly became bigger and bigger.

  The sailing route of the giant ship was clearly going in a direction

  She narrowed her eyes slightly and beckoned to a common sailor not far from her.

  The sailor who was suddenly called out froze, then seeing the brooch on Freya's chest, his eyes changed immediately jogging towards her.

  "What's that? Are we going there?" Freya asked as she pointed at the black dot in the distance.

  "My lord, that's the Mayan harbour, it's our destination for today, we're going to stay at that harbour for about ten minutes to pick up some people."

  "Mayan harbour?" Freya curiously looked at the approaching harbour and thought for a moment, "If I'm not wrong, this Maya harbour belongs to the Kingdom of Bailey, right?"

  "Your Excellency is truly knowledgeable, there is no mistake."

  Hearing the sailor's confirmation Freya frowned slightly, the distance between the Beli Kingdom and Rudin already spanned several large and small countries, she didn't think that it was just a few days that it had actually travelled so far.

  She thought for a moment and continued to ask the sailor, "Then do you know when we will reach the territory of Elgrim?"

  "Elgrim?" The sailor scratched his head and said, "This... I have not heard of this place..."

  "Haven't heard of it?" Freya raised an eyebrow, she clearly remembered the black-robed man saying that the destination had been recorded when she boarded the ship.

  "...My lord, the place you're talking about might be 'that' kind of secret place, I'm just an ordinary person...but although I don't know, the black-robed adults on the ship surely do, so if you don't mind you can ask them. " Seeing Freya's expression that sailor hurriedly replied.

  "Alright, I know, you go down." Freya nodded, with some understanding in her heart.

  Witches have always been synonymous with mystery, many ordinary people might not be able to see this kind of existence in their whole life, these sailors, although they are working on a ship related to witches, they have only seen a little more than ordinary people, and the witch organisation also has a secretive nature, it's also within the normal for them not to know.

  The sailors left, and the distant black dots slowly approached in Freya's line of sight, and the general outline of a harbour city could already be vaguely seen.

  Some sailors on the deck slowly began to get busy, preparing to do the advance work for the landing.

  About twenty minutes later, the giant ship finally arrived at the Mayan harbour.

  Leaning against the side of the ship, Freya looked down and found that the number of people boarding the ship this time was much, much higher compared to when it was in the port of the giant dragon.

  The boarding boards hadn't been lowered yet, and the people below were waiting silently.

  These people waiting to board the ship were dressed differently and had different age levels.

  She even saw some young boys and girls around fourteen or fifteen years old in the crowd, waiting quietly with their luggage under the protection of their servants.

  As the boarding boards were slowly coming down, Freya suddenly saw some young boys and girls actually take out a special shaped brooch and pin it on their left breast.
