William shook his head repeatedly. Then, he pulled Hobbs’s arm and walked to their side.

“This person is a magic chanter proficient in the Storm element. When he recovers from his injuries, you can get him to work on your ship. When the time comes, you can give him a nickname like ‘Fast Wind.’

William pointed at the injured person and then at the other three people in sailor clothes. He continued, “And these are ordinary imperial sailors. Lock them up later. As for what to do with them when the time comes, it’ll depend on their willingness to cooperate.”

William made it clear he was leaving them to him before turning to Diana and saying, “As for the last one… Please arrange a better private bedroom for her and treat her as a VIP. Don’t worry, she will go to Ava State with me in the future. She won’t stay on this ship.”

Diana suddenly looked at William and said, “No, please let me stay in the same room as you,”

William glanced at Hobbs and asked hurriedly, “Why?”

Diana looked at the strange expression on William’s face and explained seriously,

“As a believer of the Eighth Holy Spirit, I trust your morals more in an unfamiliar environment.”

William turned his head awkwardly and looked at Captain Hobbs. The other party looked at William thoughtfully. After a while, he said, “So this is why you brought them on board?”

There was a hint of vigilance in his voice. Of course, he wasn’t targeting William but the few of them. After all, the ships sailing on the sea were equivalent to isolated islands. The sudden appearance of a few people who were about to plunder him made him feel uneasy.

“I just wanted to understand something previously, and I’m not used to leaving people in the lurch. Other than this lady, if you think the others are troublesome, you can leave them all in Ava State. After all, this is your ship,” William said.

Then, he continued, “In addition, prepare a separate room for this lady.”

…

Captain Hobbs ultimately didn’t make those people walk the plank.

The three sailors were temporarily locked in an empty storage room. Hobbs planned on releasing them when they were about to reach the shore. After the mage proficient in Storm magic recovered (it didn’t take long with William’s help), he was in charge of summoning the wind to accelerate the Whalebone under the supervision of Big Steel Cannon. This greatly accelerated the time needed to reach the Mist Port in Ava State’s Isu City.

As for Diana, after William’s persuasion, she finally gave up on staying in the same room as him.

William didn’t have any gender concerns. He felt that it wasn’t safe for a prophet of the Eighth Holy Spirit to sleep in the same room as him. At the very least, it was inconvenient—even though he didn’t need to sleep and was only a clone.

In the last few days on the Shattered Sea, William obtained a lot of information from the survivors either via threatening or oblique references.

The empire warship was out on an escort quest, and the person it was escorting was the prophet from the Eighth Order, Diana.

Diana’s full name was Diana or Saint Diana for formal occasions. She didn’t have a last name.

After a prophet’s status was confirmed by the clergy, they had to abandon their former last names as an act of devotion to the Holy Spirit—this was the same as in the past. Creating an account for the Prophet class only allowed the player to type their name because they needed to have a different Holy Spirit name in place of their last names.

This prophet named Diana was chosen by the so-called Eighth Holy Spirit five years ago.

Back then, a plague called the Blood and Tears Plague erupted in Storm Province’s Myriad Feet City. Tens of thousands of people were infected, and the infected lost their sight from constant crying. The local church and the Astral Lighthouse were helpless in the face of the plague. A young maid hired by an old noble family in the city vaguely heard a voice one day. This voice guided her to dig out an ancient amulet from the noble family’s courtyard and made her throw it into the well.

Then, someone found himself healed from drinking the water in the well, and the news that the water in this well could cure the Blood and Tears plague spread. Soon, the Eighth Order found the maid and retrieved the amulet from the well. After confirming that what she said was true, she was quickly certified as a new prophet by the episcopate.

Then, after the consecration ritual presided over by the Church’s Patriarch, she brought the amulet and dispelled the plague in the city.

William couldn’t help but interrupt the ‘young maid’, Diana, and asked, “Wait, is the amulet you mentioned in the shape of an eight-pointed star?”
