On the second day after occupying Cappadocia City, Charles sent letters to Notruden, but he was unable to wait for a reply. Instead, he was greeted first by two merchant ships mooring at the docks.
Before the crews of these two merchant ships could even understand the situation, they were boarded by the Westwind Knights, who had been lying in wait for some time, and all the crew were detained. Charles skillfully "brainwashed" them, using the combination of salty fish essence and leg-stretching, eye-bulging pills, progressing the Labyrinth to (6/18).
There was a minor incident this time; one of the captains, who claimed to have been a pirate, retired after losing an arm during a boarding fight when a Transcendent on the target ship severed his limb. He then turned to becoming a merchant ship's owner, but as he was not familiar with the business, his venture was not very successful.
