Jason and the others hadn't expected it. They had only learned a few days ago that people from the outside world might arrive after some time. They hadn't anticipated it happening today. Moreover, their first encounter was with such a large vessel—essentially the largest they had ever seen.
The ship's hull was a mix of black and gray. The center of its white sail, painted a pale gray, bore the image of a hand holding a Gold Coin. It was uncertain whether this emblem belonged to this merchant ship's fleet or represented an even larger power.
Jason observed only one row of cannon ports on each side, indicating a single cannon deck. This hardly seemed to match the ship's size. But considering it was a merchant ship, such firepower seemed somewhat excessive. After all, even a single row of cannons on such a large vessel was quite impressive. The ship's combat capability couldn't be low either.
