The King Of Warriors (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4225

“You're from the central region. How did you end up in Epea?” Ernesto asked.

“In Ethereal Realm, Epea has the most alchemists and alchemy family. Epea's Yannopolis is home to the Epean Alchemist Guild, where the Alchemist Fair is held. Since I didn't have a mentor, I had no choice but to secretly learn here. Yannopolis is right next to the sea, so I'm very familiar with these waters. I've even visited Medicine God Island several times,” Sinclair explained.

Thaddeus nodded in agreement. He knew how difficult it was for someone like Sinclair, from a non-alchemist family, to become an alchemist and learn the art of alchemy.

Self-study and learning from others in secret were often the only options. Yannopolis, with its concentration of alchemists, offered the fastest way to grow and learn.

“You mentioned you had a way to take care of those people behind us. What do you mean by that?” Thaddeus asked.

“President Surrey, we shouldn't head to Epea right now. Instead, we should turn south. In about an hour, we'll enter a stormy sea. That area regularly experiences massive storms. The storms are said to come from giant sea creatures deep below the ocean, and they occur at set times every year. If we lead those chasing us into that storm-prone sea area, the storm will take care of them for us, and they'll end up feeding the demon beasts,” Sinclair revealed.

“Won't we get caught in the storm and get eaten by the demon beasts too?” Ernesto asked, confused.

“Mr. Boucher, don't worry. I know the paths the storms take. I'll guide us away before the storm hits. Right now, this is our only option. If we continue toward Epea, they'll catch up to us before we even reach land,” Sinclair explained.

Ernesto fell silent, unsure whether to trust Sinclair.

Meanwhile, after a moment of contemplation, Thaddeus made a quick decision. “Turn the ship! Head south!”

Thaddeus chose to trust Sinclair this time, as it seemed like the only viable option.

Besides, Sinclair's reasoning made sense. There were no other ways to ensure their survival.
