Su Lun and Mr. Jing bid farewell to the others and left the Eternal Night quietly without disturbing the other members of the Dawn group.
He left the God Burial Ground and headed south towards the open sea.
By nightfall, he had already reached near the Cobros Strait, eight hundred miles south of Blizzard City.
The moon was faint tonight, and a thick fog enshrouded the sea surface.
Su Lun walked on the sea as if strolling in his own courtyard.
A legend known to nearly every sailor in the Alchemy plane persisted: on foggy nights, lucky individuals might encounter a ghost ship adrift on the sea. Aboard were treasures, fine wine, and beautiful women for the taking and revelry. However, one must disembark before midnight, or they would never leave again, becoming a phantom of the ship once it disappeared.
Su Lun had heard numerous variations of the "Cursed Ship" tale within the island communities, mostly related to beauty and fortune.
