“Of course, I'll have someone sail the spirit ship over immediately,” he said. “However, resources are rather scarce on the small island, so you can't stay for long. When the time comes, I'll provide you with a spirit ship for your departure.”
Arnold continued to employ the strategy of feigning an attack to retreat.
“Of course, we won't be staying long.”
Wyatt quickly nodded in agreement.
The spirit ship swiftly headed toward the group of alchemists. Only when everyone had boarded the spirit ship, did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“You can rest for a while on the spirit ship. Once we've gathered some demon beasts, we'll take you to the small island,” Arnold said to Wyatt.
“Mr. Lund, please don't let us keep you busy. As long as we have a place to rest our feet, it's fine,” Wyatt said.
“Once we approach the storm-prone sea area, the spirit ship will sway quite a bit. So, it's best for you all to stay inside the spirit ship and refrain from moving around unnecessarily,” Arnold said.
“Understood. We've also just navigated through the storm-prone sea area, so we're well aware of the storm's ferocity!”
Wyatt gave a nod.
Numerous alchemists had all entered the cabin of the spirit ship.
The spirit ship was spacious, so even with dozens more people on board, it didn't feel crowded.
People like Wyatt and Hartwin, all had separate bedrooms arranged for them.
At that moment on the deck of the spirit ship, the young man clad in a green shirt asked Arnold in utter confusion, “Mr. Lund, if everyone is already on the boat, why aren't we heading back? Why must we venture into the storm-prone sea area to retrieve the body of some demon beast?”
“What do you know?” I just said, “We came here to retrieve the body of the demon beasts, to gather some resources. If these people get on board, and we immediately turn around, it's bound to raise suspicions. That would just lead to a whole lot of unnecessary trouble. That's why the less attention we pay to these people, the more at ease they feel. This is also why I said they can't stay on the island for long. You should learn from this, it's all about giving them enough rope...”
Arnold was very pleased with himself.
“Brilliant, truly brilliant...” The young man gave a thumbs up.
