[During the brewing process, you excelled, and the quality of the potion improved!]
[Brewing successful, you have obtained White Rose Potion ×1.]
[You successfully brewed a potion, increasing your Pharmacy skill experience and leveling up.]
[Pharmacy lv1→Pharmacy lv2.]
[White Rose Potion]
[Type: Potion]
[Quality: Green]
[Effect: Restores a certain amount of Life Value in a short period upon consumption.]
[Negative Effect: Toxin Accumulation 20%.]
[Explanation: An exquisite White Rose Potion, smooth taste with a hint of white rose fragrance, bringing a refreshing pleasure.]
Rogel satisfactorily placed the three freshly brewed White Rose Potions into the Item Inventory.
Then, he noticed the Sound Transmission Conch acting up.
After listening to Lina’s message, Rogel was a bit surprised.
A merchant ship in distress?
After pondering for a moment, Rogel decided to go back and take a look.
...
Rogel opened the door, went to the deck, and with Lina’s guidance, saw the incident merchant ship in the distance.
At this time, Gelin was already quite close to the merchant ship, and the black smoke and fire could be seen clearly.
Although it was unclear what had happened to the merchant ship, it obviously wasn’t anything good.
[Let’s go take a look.]
After saving, Rogel spoke.
Yas nodded and began to steer with Bone Spirit, heading toward the merchant ship.
As Gelin approached, Rogel and the others started hearing some sounds.
It seemed to be the cries of some women and children, along with some people’s pleas.
The sounds gradually grew clearer.
However, Rogel on the deck sharply noticed a man at the edge of the merchant ship glancing at them in shock before quickly running away.
Soon after, all the sounds on the ship disappeared.
[Help! Help!]
[Please have mercy! Save us! There’s a monster on this ship!]
As Gelin was about to approach, several men stood on the deck waving their arms, shouting for help loudly.
By this time, the cries and screams on the ship had vanished, leaving only the towering flames and the sound of burning.
But within these sounds, Rogel could hear something eerie.
It seemed to be the sound of chewing.
Like a hungry beast voraciously devouring fresh meat.
After a moment’s contemplation, Rogel instructed Yas to bring a ladder and place it between Gelin and the merchant ship.
"We’re saved!"
Upon seeing this, the men across were overjoyed and tried to scramble over the ladder to get across.
But Rogel raised the cold barrel of his gun to them.
[What happened on the ship?]
Faced with the dark barrel, the faces of the few men froze instantly.
A relatively burly shirtless man quickly responded, explaining.
[Bro! Don’t be rash!]
[There’s a monster on board! It wrecked our ship!]
[We intended to set the ship ablaze with it, but thank heavens, you came, we’re saved!]
[Please, save us!]
[For heaven’s sake, let us live!]
As he continued, the man’s face was pleading, looking at Rogel hopefully.
Rogel’s gun remained raised.
He glanced at the ship, noticing many extinguished scorch marks.
[Stay where you are.]
Rogel ordered.
Then, he looked toward Lina and Yas, his gaze inquiring.
[I’ll go with you.]
Lina drew the dagger from her waist, skillfully holding it in a reverse grip.
Rogel nodded and then took the lead in stepping onto the ladder.
The few men across were dumbfounded.
[Good heavens, are you crazy?! There’s a monster on that ship! With such massive flames, why are you coming over?!] 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
[Let us come across already!]
They were getting anxious.
Despite being fewer in number, this group of people was far from normal.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was danger on that ship, so why take the risk of approaching?
Rogel and Lina ignored them and quickly boarded the merchant ship still alight.
[Where are those bloodstains from?]
Rogel looked down at one man’s blood-stained pants.
Most of these men were shirtless, their lower bodies obscured by the railing.
Upon hearing Rogel’s words, a trace of murderous intent flashed in one man’s eyes from the rear, his right hand slowly moving.
[The blood is from battling that monster!]
A long-haired man explained.
But his explanation clearly didn’t help as one of his companions had already raised a long-concealed gun, aiming it at Rogel.
[Stop the damn talking! You damn bastard! If you don’t move, I’ll blow your... ah!]
The person threatened viciously.
But, before he finished, he saw a flashing silver blade.
Bang!
Immediately, a sharp pain erupted in his hand, blood gushing from the wound.
With a thud, the gun clattered to the ground.
A dagger had precisely pierced through his palm.
[Do not move.]
Lina retrieved her hand and took out another dagger from her waist.
The one she had just thrown was an ordinary dagger, one of many Rogel had crafted in his spare time.
Both she and Rogel could clearly sense that these men were definitely lying.
This maneuver directly left the men drenched in cold sweat, and one hurriedly covered the wounded companion’s mouth to stop any foul words.
[...Sorry, my companion has a bad temper, he meant no harm, hope you don’t mind...]
He spoke with a forced smile.
[If you don’t believe us, you can check below. We’re telling the truth, not a single lie!]
He seemed earnest.
[But it’s really dangerous down there, and this ship won’t last much longer, once the fire spreads...]
[Ah—]
As the man anxiously explained, a child’s scream echoed throughout the ship.
This caused the leading man to change his expression instantly.
[I’ll check it out.]
Rogel said to Lina before heading toward the door leading below deck on the merchant ship.
He had recently tested Lina’s combat abilities.
Though there was still a big gap compared to himself, against these men, Rogel had no worries.
Upon reaching the door to the lower cabin, Rogel found it chained and locked.
Clearly, the men’s doing.
With a bang, Rogel kicked the door to the lower cabin open roughly.
Instantly, a wave of scorching black smoke engulfed him.
Unfazed, Rogel strode inside.
It seemed the fire was slowly spreading from the lower cabin.
After Rogel entered the cabin, the men began whispering among themselves.
[That kid went in, perfect to feed the monster!]
[What about us? We only have one gun, and that damned woman looks tough to handle...]
[No rush. Even if that guy is skilled, he won’t be a match for the monster. If something happens to him, that woman wouldn’t stand idle, then we wait for the chance...]
