Chapter 22
So it seems that everyone was going south with Joseph and John this ti around . They were going via the sea because there was a whole fleet of Morgan family going south to conduct their trade and it would be much safer going with a group . Plus it would anyways save ti and reduce tolls going via the sea . The only problem was the Noble funded pirates but it was safer with a fleet this ti around . Hence all of them got busy in their preparations for their journey the next day . This ti Grandma lanie didn’t nag as she hoped Eva and John got closer while John was also learning at an alarmingly fast speed so she wanted a breather in teaching him as she thought John would learn everything in no ti . As there was no ti everyone was in a hurry to make preparations for the journey . Sally as always joined them as she didn’t want to be left behind while Josephine had no qualms about this issue . This made Sally very sure that there was sothing going on as both Josephine and Eva seed proactive nowadays but she couldn’t figure it out but knew that it was related to John sohow . However, she was more interested in food served in John’s mansion this ti around so she didn’t bother much about other things and hence started doing the preparations for the journey .
Next day Jay, Eva, and her team and everyone else left for the east seaport . John also took most of his money with him since he was going to make big deals this ti around .
They left with Joseph as he had prepared carriages for travel this ti around . They reached East sea city in a day after they traveled from North-frontier City . John had automatically beco the chef for the group this ti around .
After they reached the port they saw various fleets of various nobles this ti around . However only Morgan family recently traveled with a big fleet here in North because of their Soap business with John .
This ti the Fleet was led by Captain Eric who served in Morgan family for a long ti . It was so that He could protect both the trade fleet and Joseph .
Captain Eric was a tall middle-aged man with sharp features, fair complexion, and brown hair . He had a slight tan probably because of all the sailing he did at the seas . He looked like any other Navy n from dieval tis however he had jolly nature unlike most strict n from the army or navy . This was because he believed in having fun and not be serious all the ti . So he was like a handso navy man with a jolly nature . The woman had a good impression of Eric after eting him .
The fleet was with 5 ships with 1 main big ship and 4 dium sized ships . The fleet was equipped with a Morgan family flag . Soaps were loaded in the Main ship while other materials for trade were loaded in other remaining ships . The fleet had a total of 110 n with 30 n in the Main ship and 20 in other ships . These n were sailors and hunters as they perfectly fitted the criteria for Navy battles . Knights weren’t preferred in the Sea where mobility was important as they would be considered more of a burden .
The fleet also had 2 magicians as support for healing n at tis of danger .
Captain Eric was drinking and having fun with his fellow n on the ship as they had nothing to do and all the preparations were already made and they were only waiting for Joseph to return for the past two days . Joseph quite liked Eric because of his jolly personality unlike the strict n from his family who only preferred interests above anything else .
After getting inford by the guard that Joseph had arrived with everyone else . Eric stopped the chattering and started giving commands to his n to prepare for the journey . He then arrived to invite Joseph into the ship .
"Joseph you have arrived at last . I was pretty bored for these two days waiting for you . Well, we are anyway prepared for departure so would you like to rest first or should we depart imdiately?"
"So what do you think?" Joseph asked John and others for their opinion .
"Well, I think it’s better to depart early now that sun and seas are clear" John and Jay said their opinion .
"We don’t have any problem with an early departure . I guess its better if we leave now, What do you think captain?" Eva said to Joseph and asked Eric’s opinion .
"Well its certainly true that now is a good ti to leave," Eric said his opinion to everyone .
"Since everyone is in agreent . I shouldn’t be a party-pooper and ruin everyone’s fun . Eric, we will depart after all the preparations are made . Ready the n and load the ship . " Joseph gave his order to Eric .
Joseph later introduced everyone to Eric after the Fleet set sail . During these days on the ship Eric was caught trying to steal clothes of won but they didn’t think anything of it and it was only later known from Joseph that Eric was a pervert . Joseph sighed as he said the harsh truth regretfully . However, this didn’t change the fact that Eric was Joseph’s most trusted man .
After watching all the shenanigans of Eric, the looks of all the won changed from a good handso man to a pervert with looks of scorn burning from their eyes .
The sailors on the ship were all laughing as they had long known how won’s views would change after staying together for a few days because they had seen this scene quite a few tis already .
"People don’t understand " Eric sighed as he left . Before he left he glared at Joseph, it seed his eyes said the words ’Traitor’ to him .
People beca used to the atmosphere on the ship . John also taught the Chef of the ship so of his recipes as he was plenty tired these days from all the cooking . During these 3 days of travel, they experienced attacks from pirates only once however after watching the big fleet the pirates only tried to probe and left after they watched the firepower of John’s team from the main ship . They thought the Fleet was well ard this ti around and they would most probably lose if they didn’t have enough firepower to overpower and occupy the ships .
