But just then, the seawater at the cave entrance suddenly began to churn like boiling water.
With a bubbling sound, the water surged upwards, completely sealing the cave entrance. Simultaneously, a series of evenly distributed, unknown runes appeared on the interior walls.
Seeing this, Andre frowned but did not adopt a defensive posture.
"Andre, come up."
Hearing the voice from above, Andre picked up Ed with one hand and Jason with the other, leaping onto the ship's deck.
After landing, Ed looked around. The ship's interior, apart from its color scheme, wasn't vastly different from others. It likely also possessed an automated runic system, as the deck held only three religious members dressed in simple gray robes, with no crew in sight.
The three hooded figures stood side-by-side with their arms crossed. Andre walked toward them.
"What's going on? Why are we sealing this place off so suddenly?"
