I was looking at it and realized that the values I set for Excalibur and EA are way too high, since I feel that there are things—there are weapons—that are not far from their power that have a much lower price than those two.
The idea was to let people know that there was a possibility that the protagonist could obtain that type of weapon, but that it would not be easy, but I feel like I went a little overboard. Given this, I plan to fix that too, but when I can; my PC is still having problems, so much so that I want to buy another one, since I also need it for college. So if it's already fixed when you see this, just know that it was worth much more than it currently is.
-------------------------------------------------------
Once again adrift at sea, it will take us a few weeks to reach Welliston, as the ship will be going from island to island selling merchandise; this is both good and bad. Good, because we can do what we always do: go to an island and do heroic things, so to speak. The bad thing is that we're delayed in getting there, and if the person who was there making people disappear leaves, it will be a waste of time to go there.
But there's nothing I can do; we can't hire any ship to go directly there. The only ones who would do that are pirates, but we can't hire them; we would lose a certain image, and it would make us look like fakes in the face of all the actions we have taken.
We can work with pirates, who say that all our actions are false or bought.
But back to today's main topic, I received Morgan' special pelican; it was one with a yellow hat, which was the only special thing about it, and a large bag to put things in, or manuscripts in this case.
I already had something written. They were children's stories, a collection of them; among them were Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Pinocchio, Aladdin and the Lamp, etc.
The idea is to start with something that parents want to buy for their children, as well as familiarize young children with certain stories so that they are more adapted to more fantastical stories later on. Adults can also enjoy these stories in certain ways. Start little by little.
It's also worth mentioning that all the books have my name as the author, the first being The Iliad, which Morgans has already published.
And speaking of publishing, today's newspaper is very special, as we are on the front page.
The heroes of Paradise. A group of three warriors has been traveling throughout Paradise, helping the villagers where they visit, exterminating bandits, scaring away pirates, and even helping with small things like hunting a large beast so that orphaned children can eat their fill. The actions of these heroes have filled the hearts of the people they meet. And all of this is led by a man named Dante; we can say that he is the great hero of Paradise. We are waiting to see what will happen when they arrive in the new world.
I couldn't contain my excitement; I jumped up and shouted. Some people came over to see what was going on; among them was Arthur.
Dante: "Look, we're in the newspaper," I said happily.
Arthur: "Aren't we already in the newspaper?" he asked, a little confused.
Dante: "Yes, but this time it's different." I handed him the newspaper to read; Trini had just arrived, and she also started reading it and looked at me.
Trini: "Yes, it's different, because they're kissing your ass."
(Note: I didn't know how to write that insult in a way that everyone would understand and that wouldn't sound so ugly).
Dante: "That's not what's important. Now we'll be more relevant, ordinary people will love us, and evil people will fear us. We have to celebrate this."
Everyone: "YES!!" Everyone on the boat shouted except Trini.
And the party began: alcohol, dancing, food, women, everything. Being the center of attention.
Dante: "Bring me the most exotic wine and food you have," I said cheerfully. The ship's chef looked at me doubtfully, but he did it anyway.
First came the wine, very good, a little more bitter than expected; I prefer sweet wine, to be honest. The food arrived later, but with a warning.
Chef: "This is the most unusual dish I make; this is the second time I've made it. It comes from two poisonous fish; neither is very harmful, but I don't know how they will turn out together. I can't be 100% sure that all the poison is out, so I recommend not eating it."
Obviously, I didn't listen to him. I took the food that was in front of me, and just as I was about to eat it, Trini appeared.
Trini: "I don't think that's a good idea. I have a bad feeling about it."
I didn't feel anything, maybe because I was drunk, but that didn't matter.
Dante: "Relax, I'm the hero of Paradise. I'm unbeatable; nothing can defeat or stop me, least of all a plate of food." Completely ignoring Trini's opinion, I ate the exotic sandwich in front of me, and after that, everything went black.
Trinity's POV.
How I would love to beat Dante half to death, but sadly I can't, since he's already in that situation; you can't hit someone who's sick, it wouldn't be ethical.
If only he had listened to me. When he ate that weird dish, nothing happened at first; after about 30 minutes, he said he felt strange. Then his stomach started to hurt, and he began to vomit and pass out.
Unbelievable, he poisoned himself, and in a way that no one on this ship can do anything about.
The poison acts in a way that prevents Dante from detoxifying, so from the start of the party until now, I've been drunk; he can't get out of that state. Also, every time we try to give him something to eat, he vomits it up; he hasn't eaten anything practically.
There is no one on this ship with sufficient medical skills to treat him. Since he can't eat normally, we've been trying other methods, but none of them are very effective, but that's not the biggest problem.
Being drunk, he has been in a hallucinatory state, so there are times when we have not been able to control him, because, although it pains me to admit it, he is the strongest person on this ship; he is on a different level from us at the moment.
We have both been training quite a bit, Arthur with his spear skills and me with the pistols and rifle he gave me, but Dante has not stopped training either, so we have not yet been able to reach his level.
Dante: "I am Sonic, the talkative hedgehog who runs very fast."
His hallucinations reach an incredible level; suddenly he leaves this world and invents another one, sometimes based on the stories he has told us and sometimes completely made up.
I went to where the captain of the ship was.
Trini: "Captain, I need you to travel to the nearest island as quickly as possible. You don't need to wait for us; it's enough for the three of us to get off. Once that's done, you can leave immediately; you don't want me to try to cut the ship in half again."
He listened thoughtfully; he really didn't want us to leave his ship, but with what had already happened, I had to rethink that option.
Captain: "All right, there's an island near here that marks the log pose. We'll approach it so you can get off, and then we'll leave."
Trini: "Thank you."
They already had a path to follow, and they had enough Eternal Pose to travel those paths. Thankfully, they let us go to another island, diverting us from their path.
It took about three hours to reach the nearest island; it was already becoming difficult to restrain Dante. Now he thinks he's some kind of messiah who's come to heal the world. All his stupidity is multiplied a thousandfold when he's sick and drunk, both at the same time.
Once we arrived at the island's port, the three of us got off, thanked the ship's captain, and headed for the city center.
Arthur was leading Dante, chained with the chains we use to keep him from going to casinos, only they don't work as efficiently with him. The good thing is that he's more docile now; he was sad because he remembered the death of a certain Carlos. I didn't pay attention to him, since he was an ant, as far as I understood.
We were running around without noticing the atmosphere of the place, not to mention that Dante was drawing more attention than usual.
Hopefully we'll find a doctor who can help us quickly and get out of here.
Suddenly I stopped; by default, Arthur did too.
Arthur: "What happened?" he asks.
Trini: "I feel like someone is spying on us."
Arthur: "Should we do something?"
Trini: "No, for now, the priority is to go to the doctor to get Dante fixed up."
And so we continued looking for a clinic, still feeling uneasy about the situation we were in.

Due to time constraints and the fact that I need the rest of my time for other things, I won't be able to do a first review of this chapter.
In addition, this weekend I will be doing university work and rereading the previous chapters to save important things so I don't forget them later, so I won't be able to upload the next chapter in the next few days; at the latest it will be on Tuesday, just a heads-up.
