Without delay, the four of them packed their stuff and left for the mission the same day.
The ship was already rented, but they still needed to reach the coast to board it. And so, they left the imperial capital in a carriage. After a one-day-long journey, they arrived at the coast where the ship was supposed to be.
The ship they were supposed to board was both similar to what Adrian had imagined and different at the same time.
It was massive, large enough to house more than a hundred people. Its body was made entirely of wood, and the structure was much the same as a normal ship. The only difference was that the hull of the ship was covered in a thick layer of metal.
According to Xion, that layer of metal was there for several reasons. The primary one was the increase in durability, which was necessary to protect the ship from beast attacks from below.
And so, they boarded the ship.
