CHAPTERS
During the early Renaissance, designers seemed to focus more on the construction of buildings rather than churches—this kept the churches in Italy during this period firmly rooted in the Gothic architectural style, intricate, ornate, and richly colored. The buildings, not yet weathered by history, gleamed magnificently under the sunlight. The faint hymns from the churches filled the air, and a strong artistic atmosphere permeated every corner. Unlike the restored historical films he had seen on TV,…- 221.3 K • Completed
- Big Dog tends to avert his gaze when he lacks confidence, sometimes even pretending to scoff with a disdainful hum. For example, every morning when Miguel greets him cheerfully from across the ship, saying, "Good morning, Captain." Or like just now, when he shifted the blame for giving the first mate a hard time onto the communicator. And again, like when he claimed he came to Cagliari just to witness the target cargo being loaded onto the ship. When Miguel saw that ninety-degree zigzag "Z"…

- On the fifth day of Miguel's boarding, the Black Sea Wolf fleet did not head directly to Spain as planned. Instead, they chose a straight northern route to Cagliari—a port belonging to Italy, located midway between Italy and Tunisia. As an independent island and the future capital of Sardinia, the island's prosperity was evident. Dancers, merchants, mercenaries, thieves, and pirates from various fleets gathered here. Though it might not compare to the freedom of Djerba Island, known as the "Pirate's…

- It was the second day since Miguel had boarded the ship. On this day, the sun was shining brightly, the sea was calm, the breeze was gentle, and the ocean stretched out before them—it was a scene of spring warmth and blossoming flowers. The Mediterranean Sea was no longer as tranquil as it usually was. Across the vast, boundless blue sea, two magnificent three-masted galleys, each armed with twenty-four cannons, sailed side by side, cutting through the waves. Dozens of various types of ships…

- After the recruitment, the Wind Fury had three more days of docking time at Djerba Island. Thankfully, the Saint Monarch, captained by the troublemaking captain, didn't scare the new recruits out of their wits. This time, the Black Sea Wolf's fleet recruited a total of 132 crew members, including one navigator and two drummers. The quality of the remaining sailors varied, and they were picked up by other fleets that had come to join the fun. Although they were left with the scraps, these ship captains…

- When the only first mate of the Black Sea Wolf fleet obediently returned to the main ship with hundreds of contracts in his arms, hoping to find his captain under the warm sunlight, he was met with an empty Captain's Cabin. The red-haired first mate felt utterly exhausted, realizing that even after all these years, he was still too naive when it came to the captain's shamelessness— The Black Sea Wolf had disappeared without a trace, taking the dozens of newly recruited crew members with…

- …Asshole. Miguel: "…I'm here to apply for the position of navigator." Caesar stopped his low conversation with Rick and raised his head impatiently, lifting one eyebrow. "And?" Miguel: "Why do I have to chop wood?" "Why? I'll tell you why, kid—because you're about to board a pirate ship," the man chuckled, shifting his neck to a more comfortable position as he lounged on his overly ornate chaise lounge stuffed with ostentatious velvet cushions. "And unfortunately, the captain of this…

- The next morning, the sunlight peeking through the gaps in the curtains signaled a bright and sunny morning on Djerba Island. After a long yawn, the black-haired young man struggled to lift his head from the soft blanket, his dark eyes slightly squinting. With a stretch of his long legs, he expressionlessly kicked the pillow that had been wedged between his thighs to the floor. What a joke, naive Big Dog—did you really think I wouldn't notice that it was your enticing waist I was clinging to last…

- Chapter 17 A brief silence followed in response to the captain's words. Suddenly reaching out to casually touch the black pearl earring on Miguel's earlobe, the unhealed wound made the latter hiss lightly. With a cold laugh, Caesar withdrew his hand and licked the remaining blood on his fingers, curling his lips as he slowly said, "Seems we've reached a consensus." When Miguel looked up at him, the captain noticed that the eyes of the dancer he'd bought for fifty gold coins tonight looked…

- "……" "Fifty gold coins, includes a suite on the second floor and breakfast service. Enjoy your stay, respected Captain Caesar." The tavern owner, Fugar, leaned against the bar with a smile, raising his glass in Caesar's direction. Fugar's words seemed to awaken all the stunned patrons in the tavern. Someone in the crowd started with a whistle, followed by a cacophony of teasing and lewd blessings. "Well done, Caesar!" "Show that little vixen what you're made of!" "Make her cry! Make her…
