As night fell, Rhodes returned to his room. It's a small bedroom, but it's actually very small, just big enough for a small bed and a desk. The room on the ship is no better than on land, and for such a small room, Rhodes has to spend money to use it.

As soon as he entered the door, Rhodes noticed that something was wrong, the plank under his feet was wet and cold, not the moisture from the sea breeze, but a cold air on land. There is also a hint of frost...... However, winter is long gone.

As Rhodes crouched down to investigate why, Caroline's figure slowly emerged from the darkness. Just like in the hot springs that day, first the waves of water ripples, then the substance.

Invisibility ...... One of the common spells used by magicians.

"I should have thought you'd use this set. ”

Rod's expression was full of anger, but also a little helpless. To deal with such a stubborn magician, I can be considered convinced. As long as there is something new, she will always keep up, curiosity, adventurous spirit, how to describe this strange witch?

"It's not too late to know. Caroline smiled and said, "It seems that your room is quite clean and comfortable." Much better than those poor sailors' rooms. ”

Rod noticed that she had changed her clothes, no longer the standard wizard's robes she had before departure, but into a man's outfit, burlap, straw sandals, and a shirt...... Even the hair was cut...... If you hadn't looked closely at her breasts, you wouldn't have been able to tell that this guy was a woman.

"For the sake of adventure, you are really willing to do it. ”

Rod couldn't help but 'sigh'.

"I can't help it, I can only give up a few things in order to go to sea with the Lord of Blackhammer Castle. ”

Caroline said, sitting down in Rhodes' chair, and unceremoniously tasting the wine on the table.

"That thing has a lot of stamina, and it's used to relieve insomnia. ”

Rod said, snatching the bottle and placing it in its place. They don't have the slightest distinction between status and identity before departure.

"That's not right, in this bumpy boat, I guess I won't be able to sleep well tonight. ”

Caroline blinked back.

"You must go back, this is not yours, you know, the Frost Witch can't leave the country. Wizards, any wizard, must be monitored by the Academy of Magic. Rod's expression became serious.

"If you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows about them?" But Caroline remained unmoved. She started playing tricks like a child.

"Paper can't hold the fire, you'll always know. You have to go back, go back now. ”

Rhodes said.

"Now? I'm afraid not, I've already paid for the ticket, and besides, how do you want me to go back? Jump into the sea and swim back? The Frost Witch doesn't have the ability to freeze the water. Or are you going to have the captain send me back? It's possible, but you'll have to pay for the requisition of the whole ship, and they're in a hurry to sell it. I'm afraid it's going to be expensive. ”

Caroline said with a wink.

Rhodes shouldn't have her, and now it's in vain. Where a witch wants to stay, she always has a way. Of course, it's not impossible, it's just that this trip has added another burden to Rhodes. Caroline must not be able to cast spells in a foreign land, which would touch the kingdom's ban, and, if it hurts someone, it will involve diplomatic issues. Therefore, along the way, Rhodes must be careful not to expose her as a frost witch. At the same time, she can't have an accident in a foreign country, otherwise, she will have to bear this responsibility herself. It's like a drag bottle...... Rod expressed helplessness in his heart...... And even more helpless things are yet to come......

"Well, stay as long as you like. But I'm afraid my room isn't big enough to accommodate your delicate body. Do we have to squeeze into a bed?"

Rod shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically.

"That's definitely not going to work, I'll sleep in the bed, you sleep in the chair. ”

Caroline smiled back. For such an answer, Rod once again expressed his helplessness, and the gentlemanly demeanor told him that he could not fight with the lady, let alone be rude to the lady...... Then, waiting for me, there is only that cold wooden chair. And the bed can only be given to such an unreliable lady...... The point is that I have to watch her all night, a beautiful lady lying in front of her, sleeping soundly, but I can't do anything about it, there is nothing more uncomfortable than this.

Forget it, it's only three nights, and after three nights, they'll arrive at Port Baker, and they'll have a place to stay. Rod thought to himself......

The night at sea was long, the waves crashed against the ship's side, splashed onto the deck, and looking out the window, the pitch-black sea was nothing but endless darkness. It is understandable why those born at sea are always fiercer and more violent than those on land.

They have no fixed place, the sea is their home, the wind and waves have tempered their courage and physique, and the fury and darkness of the sea have shaped their fearless and brave souls. Death is normal for seafarers, you don't even know if you'll live until tomorrow, sometimes a storm can swallow you up. The crumbling boat is like a plaything in the palm of the sea god's hand, and it wants you to die as easily as pinching an ant to death. Then it's better to have fun in time, drink wine if you have wine, and grab a woman if you have ...... This was the case with the Norscar pirates.

They are ferocious beasts, even wilder than beasts. A Norscar pirate may have been born at sea, and ships were its birthplace. The education of their fathers and the long hours of life at sea made the boys of these tribes full of blood. They fight, as naturally as eating. If you don't have wealth, you will rob it, and after you will rob it, you will squander it, and when you squander it, you will rob it, and the plundering and killing again and again make these northern humans more cruel than wild beasts.

Of course, not all pirates of the north were Gnoscans. There are also some southern humans who join them and join the business. They may be murderers, rapists, wanted people from the Empire and Bretonnia, or debtors who have turned to pirates in desperation. There were many of these people, but as far as Rhodes knew, the Norskas were not very tolerant of these outsiders. In their eyes, the people of the Empire are too weak, and although they are all human, the long period of geographical isolation makes them look like two races.

Caroline was already asleep on the side, and by the big lord's side, she felt safe, at least she didn't have to worry about Rod's character. It was Rod, looking at the undulating sea, with mixed feelings.
