"My grandfather has over forty ships, the largest is almost as big as this combat vessel of yours."
Aesop's words left Saleen in shock. A pirate had over forty ships, this was a formidable force in the Qin Empire. Did Lianyun City have forty combat vessels? Probably not.
"Over forty ships? Then how did you become a mage and not take over the family business?" Saleen could not help but ask.
He was not ridiculing Aesop. If he had inherited over forty ships back then, he would not have chosen to be a mage.
A fisherman's roughed up boat was worth hundreds of gold coins, a pirate ship was probably worth over ten thousand gold coins. If he had four-hundred-thousand gold coins, the beggar back then would not have chosen the journey of a mage.
