The three-masted vessel on the ocean was like a monster hiding in the darkness.
As soon as the two pointy-headed boats stopped beside it, two rope ladders were quietly dropped from the deck.
"Stay quiet." Tom whispered to the apprentices.
They were still teenagers. Now, suddenly, they felt very nervous. They were well aware of the fact that what was waiting for them was either their wonderland or the gallows.
Then Tom turned to Lucien, "I need to get on the ship to check first. After I make sure that the ship is safe, you arrange them to get on the ladder. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Lucien nodded, "Be careful."
Tom, who was a level two knight, patted Lucien’s shoulder, gripped the ladder and swiftly got on the ship like a shadow.
No one on the small pointy-headed boats said a single word. They were quietly waiting for Tom’s signal.
