The sea wind, tinged with the smell of gunpowder, blew gently.
Chen Qi looked up at the lighthouse keeper, whose face was covered with wrinkles.
When he first landed, the first person he had seen was this lighthouse keeper, already past his middle age.
As a Lamp Keeper, nobody knew how many years he had been guarding this place.
With such credentials, even if Maro Town was completely transformed, he remained the town's sentinel, responsible for guarding against pirate and Sea Beast invasions.
The apprentice of An, that poor child... The lighthouse keeper's hand rested on the alarm bell, feeling astonished.
In his memory, Chen Qi had once run a dining boat business, but soon after, he had vanished without a trace!
Therefore, he had assumed that Chen Qi had long been devoured by some unnamed Sea Beast.
That wasn't strange, under the lure of treasure, countless youths perished in the raging sea every day.
