Iron Soul Island.
Departure Coast.
The combined ages of all the Black Sail's core members didn't add up to Garscek's; how could Liszt, with just a few words and a temptation of something he didn't carry on him, convince her?
She had already left with all the treasures from the underground palace, claiming she was going to adapt to the outside world by first touring the inland.
Whoever partnered with Garscek won.
But Garscek would partner with whoever won.
The East Sea was now a winner-takes-all game, standing with the remaining side meant no risks and the greatest benefits.
When the dust settled, she would return to the East Sea.
Whether she would be promoted alongside Doringger.
Or traverse the Four Seas with Liszt.
That remained to be seen.
By the coast.
Liszt emerged from the underground palace and did another round of exploration, but still no sign of the gold mine. By the time he returned to the coast, it was already January 28th.
