"Uh, terrifying?"
Roselle thought back. Hmm! Zaratul really was pretty scared back then!
Zaratul said evenly, "Only an avatar of his came that time. If it had been his true body, even if I managed to escape, I might have had to pay a terrible price."
Fine, I get it. You're very afraid of that Amon.
After that inward grumble, Roselle said, "Then you came tonight to..."
"Why did you suddenly decide to go to sea?"
"Why else? I got tired of staying in Intis. I've wanted to get out and see another side of this world for ages, but before this, I was either too lazy or never had the chance. But my recent application to serve as an officer in the Army has been approved. I knew that if I didn't set sail now, I really wouldn't have time later."
Zaratul asked, "Would a mere Army officer really be that busy?"
Roselle smiled without answering.
Speaking of which, Roselle's "experience" in dealing with the evil god above the gray fog had all come from his dealings with Zaratul. Roselle knew perfectly well that this angel, who had approached him of his own accord and taught him all sorts of precious knowledge, must have had some other designs on him.
And very likely, it was something only he could help Him with.
But unlike when he faced the evil god, Roselle could retain more of the initiative until the matter was accomplished.
"Actually, Zaratul, you've lived for so many years. You must know quite a bit about the sea, right? Any sailing experience, rumors or secrets about the sea, anything like that? Just teach me a little."
Zaratul thought for a moment and said, "Are you planning to visit the War of the Gods Relic in the far east?"
