It had a white sail and a small cabin. Just big enough to be used for maybe a fishing trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of the cheapest boats Machary could find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I checked the boat for any damage, and it looks fine. I would avoid any major storms while out in the sea, or we will be swimming with the fishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ragnar came from the lower deck, looking a little winded, as it was really narrow down there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, someone jumped from the docks to the deck of the ship, a smile frozen on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary looked over, scoffed, and said, \"About time you came,\" and in that moment, saw someone accompanying Fang Raon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yes, another girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail whispered under her breath, as she didn’t want to be the only girl in the party, surrounded by these foolish boys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is the one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmn, this one is Poppy, and she’ll be our Helper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s nice to m-meet you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy bowed respectfully and looked at the other members of the party, and at first, she noticed that they seemed to be a few members short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Fang Raon with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It’s just us five, but that should be enough, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy nodded, but she started to feel a little jittery about whether they could really complete the boss raid with just five of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then saw Ragnar and flinched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He looks even scarier than Lucas!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy almost screamed but held it in and was then greeted by Abigail, who looked at her with a reassuring smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made her feel better to have another girl here, and there were other girls in Lucas’ party, but they were horrible witches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Always badmouthing her behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Is she any good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary whispered to Fang Raon, and he just shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean you don’t know? Wasn’t it your idea to get a really good Helper in our party?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary asked with a twitching eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I realized how hard it was to get Helper, so I was just satisfied with level 2. Even if she is not that good, we can always teach her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Fair enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already very happy that they actually got Helper in their party, as they couldn’t do the raid without one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s sail!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tug on the ropes, the boat set off into the open sea, slicing through the water like a knife through cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They waved goodbye to the 6th floor’s beach city. It was a place they all—except Poppy—had fond memories of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...I will definitely visit this place in the future as well. It would be a shame not to.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for now, it was time to keep climbing the tower, and it would probably be another year or two before he could return here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon sat down on the railing of the boat, looking down at the water below him, and saw several fish swimming lazily in the crystal-clear water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, even a dolphin passed by, flipping its tail out of the water before diving back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, we haven’t met before, but I am Machary, and I am the leader of this party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary talked to Poppy and shook her hand, but she looked confused, as she thought Fang Raon was the leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Co-leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Right, Co-leader. Fang Raon and I are leading this party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that’s cool...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy said with a shy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then glanced at Ragnar, who was sitting inside the cabin with his arms crossed and the large axe on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is he...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s Ragnar. No need to be scared. He is a big teddy bear. He is the team’s Tank, so he will be the one protecting you during the raid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poppy nodded with a slightly relieved look, but she still thought he looked scary, as if he would suddenly start growling and roaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, at the docks of the 6th floor, a party led by Lucas arrived at their boat, which they abruptly rented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the boat, already waiting, a little-presence-having Assassin stood in salute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did they head off to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...To the open sea. It does look like they are heading to Sea God’s Tomb to acquire the Sea Tower Key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Assassin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He followed Fang Raon and Poppy by Lucas’ orders ever since they left the Player’s Bar. It was hard to notice him because of his level 2 Stealth skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It sounds like we can kill two birds with one stone. They’ll get the Tower Key for us, and we’ll also get Poppy back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas said with a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His party members were also grinning evilly, and they then boarded the boat and headed off to the Sea God’s Tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sailing through the open sea, a small wobbly-looking boat slowly made its way down the calm and still sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Sea God’s Tomb is our destination. It is where we will get the Sea Tower Key, but it’s in a somewhat bothersome location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said while everyone listened around him, and he then pulled out a map of Sea God’s Tomb, which he purchased for 100 square coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sea God’s Tomb is underwater, so we will have to dive down to retrieve it, and there will be a guardian protecting it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he patted Fang Raon’s shoulder and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was thinking that I will go retrieve it with Fang Raon and...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, that won’t do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Fang Raon stopped him, and everyone turned to look at him with raised eyebrows, and even Machary looked at him with, \"What are you talking about?\" look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t swim.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a sheepish smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Are you kidding me? What are you, a child?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary asked angrily, almost gritting his teeth, and Fang Raon just playfully scratched the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never had the opportunity to learn swimming because of his condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can come with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abigail said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That will do. The rest will stay behind to guard the boat, just in case other players happen to come around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Machary said.\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c73fe48490ab622b98cfb48c709d7e57f2e0de37619f8d905dc50f903a31178","black-online-chapter-68","black-online-chapter-66",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
