This time, the journey to the "Sea Devil" turned out to be much calmer and more pleasant than last time. One of the captain's men led Amos to his leader, and there he saw not only Vincent Agares but also an old acquaintance – Laust Brightstrider; the two men were arguing heatedly about something.
Hearing these words, the crew of the "Sea Devil" reached for their sabers and pistols.
Laust gently placed his hand on the head of the excited girl and leaned slightly towards her, looking into her eyes. - Calm down, my dear. - Then he addressed Vincent again: - I will return later.
With these words, he left and left the captain at Amos' complete disposal.
