The boat came to a halt and shook a few times at the level before it stabilized, the water on the deck was drained, and a short man in a one-piece overalls and goggles stepped out.

It's been a long time since Lycia has seen a modern outfit, and she is in a trance.

The thin man, with his hair disheveled, held a huge axe, clattered up a deck, and then spat and muttered a great deal of things that Lycia did not understand.

'Woo, it's really not our fault. Island Grul began to whimper again, even trembling a little.

'Gruul, have there been any ships like this before?' Lycia assumed that Gruul could sense the shape of the ship.

'I don't know, I don't have a good memory. ’

Lycia retracted her godhead speechlessly, and instead went to take a closer look at the man who had been standing on the ship as if he was modifying the hull.

The other islands did not react, and the ship just stopped above the passage and was being repaired.

Lycia waited for a while, and the man with the wrench stopped, and many people wearing the costumes of the Thorn Empire appeared on the splint, and their words turned out to be the common language of the Thorn Empire, and they couldn't hear any difference in the slightest.

Yes, these people are all people who have been mixed into the Thorn Empire, and like Raphael, they know all the language and customs of the Thorn Empire.

If they were all as capable as Raphael, Lycia felt that the empire would collapse from within without the need for an army.

"Well, remember, now you are the people of the Thorn Empire, you don't need to do anything if you don't hear the call, you just need to survive in every city. The man with the wrench jumped to the top and made a speech.

"Yes, Mr. Van Van Ross. "The standard official language of the Thorn Empire.

The boat began to start slowly, and everyone returned to below the splint, except for the man with the wrench who continued to clatter.

Lycia remembered the direction the boat had left and plunged headlong into the water.

Blue bubbles enveloped her, allowing Lycia to breathe normally in the water.

There is a clear demarcation line between the sea at the bottom.

Lycia sank, wanting to sink into the darker waters, and she even felt a thrill at the possibility of reaching the other shore.

However, Lycia found that her body could not enter the darker waters at all, no matter what she could do.

She can only surface temporarily.

Looking at the ships that could still be seen in the distance, Lycia decided to follow them.

Steel-forged ships must be very conspicuous in the Thorn Empire, where the sea is considered unnavigable by default, and no one wants to sail on the sea except for a few explorers.

Sailing on a river that is calm almost all year round does not require a large-displacement steel ship.

"We're going to have to disguise ourselves. Someone said in the words of the Empire of Thorns.

Lycia found the groove for the barrel of the cannon under the hull and sat down, she had to admire the determination of the people on the other side, now their conversations were all in the language of the Thorn Empire, and in the Thorn Empire, it is estimated that there is no one who can speak their language.

"Boat?"

"Mr. Wanross said no, our boat stopped in a natural harbor, and then we left in a small wooden boat. ”

"When will I be like Mr. Wanwanros?"

"Wait until you kill their emperor in the Thorn Empire. ”

"It's incredible that they have only one emperor. ”

"Of course, they have only one country, and one country has only one emperor. ”

"yes, do you think that there are two emperors in one country, like that small country of Zambika?"

"Hmm, of course they need two emperors, after all, one emperor has already sent himself to the Thorn Empire in advance, isn't it?"
