On the eighth day of their arrival at Volcano Island, Ivita and her companions set sail once again. Ivita watched as the island gradually became a speck in the distance behind the ship, eventually disappearing into the vast sea where the sky met the water.
This time, they left the ranger girl and two knights on the island, significantly reducing the number of professionals on the ship.
There were only five warriors, two apprentice hunters, two vampires, the Hearthstone Witch, and Ivita herself remaining.
There was also the Duck Feather Captain whose strength was equivalent to an apprentice knight, and who they had controlled with mental coercion.
Standing on the deck of the ship, watching the sailors busily working, Ivita felt the need to recruit more people.
The current manpower was a bit lacking.
However, in this world of piracy, recruitment could be done by force, eliminating the need for money.
