Chapter 99 Setting Sail

"Set sail!"

Ding, ding, ding—

On the three-masted sailing ship, four muscular men pushed the wooden capstan, and the thick iron chain was pulled up and wound, clinking as it collided.

After a while, the heavy anchor rose from the seabed.

Then, the three-masted sailing ship slowly started moving.

Colin stood at the raised stern, watching the bustling wooden pier not far away, watching it gradually recede.

The frenzied crowd filled the nearest dock, extending to the surrounding docks and the beach.

At the moment, they were excitedly reaching out towards him, shouting something incessantly.

Some even jumped into the sea, desperately swimming towards him.

If one ignored the fierce expressions, it looked as though they were seeing him off, or bidding a reluctant farewell.

As the sailing ship moved on, the distance grew.

The various objects and stones thrown by the crowd could no longer reach the departing ship.
