“Treasure trove?” Quinley responded with a puzzled look.
“That's right. The Night Sea is widely rumored to be extremely perilous, which is why very few people venture here,” Zordey explained. “It's precisely because of this that many treasures within the Night Sea have remained undiscovered. If it weren't for the massive waves that recently swept across the Night Sea, washing up some treasures onto the shores for people to find, there wouldn't be so many treasure hunters here now.”
“Normally, the Night Sea doesn't attract as many people. It's mostly due to those who have seen treasures spreading the news that draws others in,” he added with a hint of frustration.
“So, if I understand correctly, the Night Sea is essentially a vast treasure trove?” Jared sought clarification.
Zordey nodded as he spoke. “Of course. The Night Sea is undoubtedly a massive treasure trove, but I've never seen anyone venture deep into the sea itself. At most, people ride a spirit ship to salvage some floating treasures or explore the islands within the Night Sea in search of opportunities. Anyone who dares to venture into the sea is essentially seeking death. There's no way they could survive such an expedition.”
“What about the reports of the sinking of a spirit ship a few days ago?” Cloud, eager for information about his father, asked. He wanted to know if his father had perished at sea.
“I've heard about that incident too. The Night Sea is unpredictable, and anything can happen, including the sinking of a spirit ship. Also, there are all kinds of demon beasts in the sea. Otherwise, why would they set up such an extensive arcane array on this spirit ship and sell their tickets at such a premium rate?” Zordey explained confidently. “But rest assured, this is the largest spirit ship. Even though the tickets are costly, traveling on this ship is also the safest option. Moreover, I'm here to take care of you, so you won't encounter any problems. After all, I've crossed the Night Sea several times.”
It was evident that he was saying that to impress Quinley.
Cloud's heart grew heavier after he heard Zordey's words. If his father had indeed been involved in a tragedy, he would have to take on the responsibility of leading Stellaris Sect.
However, Cloud was aware of his limited abilities, and he feared that the future of the sect might be uncertain.
“Mr. Zupakie, thank you, but I'd like to rest for a while,” Quinley politely stated, subtly requesting some privacy.
There were many matters she could not discuss with Jared and Cloud if Zordey was present.
