"Maybe they're the same as me."
Freya guessed faintly in the back of her mind.
Only she saw that the look of the brooches on the group's chests were too different from hers, so it didn't seem to have been issued from the same place.
The black-robed men also arrived in time after the boarding boards were lowered.
The people who had been waiting for a long time silently lined up to board the ship one by one.
Freya watched for a while before collecting her eyes and leaving the ship's side with the intention of returning to her room.
Although Hegel had said earlier that he wanted to communicate more with these people who were also seeking to learn, but we all had different purposes and no one would trust anyone if they weren't relatives.
After Freya returned to her room, she packed up her things and began to enter into meditation.
In just five days, she could already gradually be able to meditate fourteen runes, and she could also vaguely control a trace of energy particles in the air to improve herself, and thought that soon when she could meditate fifteen runes, this improvement would be even greater.
However, more importantly, the ice blue earrings she had been wearing on her ears seemed to be able to use a small portion of their functions due to the slow change in her physique.
That was her biggest gain so far.
Knowing that she had already experienced the strong power of the ice blue earrings at the beginning, this magical item could also be considered a rare gem in Hegel's eyes, and even if it could only be used for a small portion of the time now, its effect also made Freya feel very satisfied.
Ten short minutes passed quickly, the ship shook fiercely while Freya was meditating, thought it was leaving the harbour.
From time to time there were some small footsteps and the sound of doors opening, but soon the rattles were quiet again.
Those who came on board the ship did not bring any influence to Freya, the daily life still consisted of reading books, exercising sword skills and meditating, even if she occasionally encountered teenagers with the same status as her, they all tacitly staggered past, without any intention to make acquaintance.
Half a month later.
On the brown deck, a casually dressed Freya sat on a chair, in her hand was a fishing rod borrowed from a sailor, and beside the chair was an empty iron bucket used to contain fish, in a peaceful manner.
Back in the first few days she was able to pass the time by exercising her sword skills and reading fictional biographies, but after reading everything on that bookshelf she realised that there was no longer anything else she could do other than practicing her sword skills and meditating.
The daily meditation time was fixed, and too much exercise would hurt her brain and mental power, and with her increased strength now, she had gradually figured out a hint of the path to promotion to Grand Knight, and knew that it wasn't a realm that could be reached through non-stop exercise.
That's why in order to find something for herself to do without being suffocated and going crazy, she chose fishing to relieve her boredom.
However, perhaps it was because the speed of the giant ship was so fast that she stayed for almost half an hour without catching a single fish.
With the distant sunlight shining on the surface of the sea like a blue mirror, with dolphin-like large fish leaping out of the water from time to time, and a slight sea breeze blowing, today seemed to be a good day.
In addition to Freya fishing, on the other side of the deck at the side of the ship, two young men and women who were about the same age as her were also talking about something there, the two of them actually embraced each other as they chatted.
Because of the following sea breeze, Freya was positioned just vaguely enough to hear only a few of their words.
"Tonight...there's...inside the room...you can come..."
"...Really...but you can't...there's someone else in...that's bad..."
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
Freya glanced at the two young men breathlessly, not knowing what they meant by their words.
Not being able to catch any fish right now anyway, Freya wondered if she should leave lest she disturb these two, when in the distance a burly sailor in a white sailor's uniform with a red bandana walked briskly towards her.
"This lord, we're going through a storm in a few moments, if there's nothing else, please return to your room, I hope it's best if you don't come out during the storm." The sailor said respectfully after bending over and saluting.
"You mean a storm?" Freya looked up quizzically at the blue sky without a single cloud the sun was hanging high.
"Yes my lord, although it is flat and calm right now, wait a little while for the rain clouds to come through." The sailor replied with a careful explanation.
"Well thank you for your input, I was just about to head back." Freya nodded and put away the fishing rod in her hand.
She was aware of the fickle nature of the sea's environment, and was only slightly puzzled to suddenly hear the sailor say that a storm was coming on a sunny day.
After the sailor got Freya's answer, he went back towards the two men not far away.
After returning the stuff fishing stuff to the sailor, Freya also went straight back to her room.
It was only just a short while later.
Outside, a thick layer of thunderclouds quickly pressed over the originally sunny sky.
Because of the cover of the thunderclouds, the light in the room became a bit gloomy, and Freya stood in front of the small round window and looked at the sea outside.
The sea surface which was calm just now had already started to roll up, and the dark sky also became like night under the dark thunderclouds.
The undulating waves made even the giant ship sway slightly.
''Ka!''
The gloomy sky steeply lit up with a bolt of lightning, followed by a loud rumbling sound as if it was the prelude to a storm, and after the lightning and thunder, sharp rains descended.
The thick rain slapped against the round windows as if someone had poured water from them, and when blown by the whistling sea breeze, it made a continuous 'snapping' sound.
However, although the storm looked big, the giant ship was rocking slightly before, and after that it became stable again.
Freya, who was standing in front of the window, meditatively felt as if the ship was wrapped up by a mysterious power, making it unaffected even in this manic storm.
"It seems that this is also the power of a sorcerer... "Freya mentally sighed with some admiration.
The storm outside the window didn't seem to have any intention of stopping for a while, and just as Freya turned her head back with the intention of meditating, the originally smooth giant ship shook violently, as if the ship had hit something.
This sudden change made her immediately hold onto the wall next to her to steady herself.
"What's going on?"
She turned her head to look out the window, and at some point in time, a few huge dark figures actually appeared on that choppy sea, standing in the sea in an undulating manner, as if they were completely unaffected by this treasure storm clouds.
''Ka-ching''
A bolt of lightning streaked through, the bright electric light illuminated the pitch-black sea surface as if it was daytime, and Freyja was able to see the true faces of those huge figures.
Those were four huge sea fish with dark blue scales, shaped like the grouper of the previous world, except that they were all about the size of a small merchant ship, and on their backs actually stood a number of similarly blue-skinned humanoid creatures.
"That's... the Sea People!?" Although it was only a glimpse, Freya did recognise the identity of these guys.
Just as Freya was somewhat puzzled as to why there were figures of the Sea Race in the storm, the huge ship that had just calmed down shook violently again, followed by a rocking that was even stronger than earlier.
