So it really was worth it! I scanned the lines of text, then looked up and smiled at the images of the gods. Then I quickly but carefully took the painting down from the wall and placed it in my bag. There! It was mine now, and I could admire it more closely later. First, the ring. The System could not send me anywhere until I collected my reward. If I had grabbed the ring first, I probably would not have gotten the opportunity to nab the painting.

A magical light played a fascinating dance along the edges of the large, blue, square-shaped stone. The ring was made of black iron. I picked it up from the table and focused my eyes.

Well, now I had easy employment once the Prophecy was done with. As soon as my current adventures were over, I’d set out to sea. And it didn’t matter that I didn’t know quarter-decks from poop decks and gunwales from cleats. When you’re an admiral, you can use whatever terms you damn well like!

In all seriousness, though, the ring was truly priceless. And worthless. A fourth artifact in my collection. Two rings, a sword, and a boar. Actually, my boar was epic, but to me he was more valuable than any artifact could ever be.

I turned to the door and realized I was still aboard the ship. What the hell? What could possibly be left for me to do here? Oh, Hart take the ship! I could reflect on things in the morning, after a good, long night’s sleep! I thought for a moment, then took off one of my dwarven rings and put on the gift from the sea god instead. If I had to wait for this ship to reach its destination, at least now it would reach it ten percent faster.
