Chapter 302: Encounter with Pirates
[Mermaid] merchant ship,
At the loud call of the lookout sailor, many ran to the side of the ship, gazing at the eastern horizon.
A small black dot had appeared there, slowly growing larger in view.
Captain Loren quickly emerged from the cabin upon being notified by other sailors, his agile body climbing up the mast to the lookout platform to also look eastward.
The view from here was better, and as a Silver Level strong man, Loren's eyesight was naturally superior to that of ordinary people.
In his vision was a single-masted sailboat, noticeably narrower than the [Mermaid], which was clearly not a normal merchant ship, advancing rapidly toward the [Mermaid].
At that moment, mercenary Evar appeared beside Loren, observed for a moment, his expression somewhat grave.
"This could be a pirate ship!"
Evar declared in a deep voice.
"A pirate ship?"
Loren's face grew stern as he confirmed once more:
"Are you sure it's a pirate ship?"
