>>6286183Setting aside yesterday's event from your mind, you think that it's more optimal to get on Freeport. You don't have to stop at every island since you can just ask other passengers for info, and when you do find out he whereabouts of the Anchor, you can wait until Freeport makes their way there.
"I've decided, getting on Freeport is important to our misson. So let's head to the port!"
Passing several overgrown towers, you finally arrived at the port. Huh, it used to be more livelier than this - there's only a couple of boats moored at the piers.
That is, if you didn't count the commotion in front of the Freeport ticket house. A fat cat with a flat cap is trying to calm a small crowd down.
"Everybody, we are sorry, but we cannot sell tickets at this time!"
"What?! Why not?!"
Yells an exasperated fishman in yellow oilskin.
"C'mon guys, I have the scrips! Sell one to me!"
A young sailor tries forcing the issue. The fat cat talks again.
"We received news that Freeport's engines broke down for the foreseeable future, just yesterday. We still don't know when or if the engine will be fixed, so we cannot sell the tickets yet! Those of you with tickets scheduled for today, we can refund it in full..."
As the fat cat explains and apologizes, you hear a hyena captain muse out loud.
"Is it because of that pillar of light yesterday?"
A passing fox gives her two cents.
"I bet it's the gear vs magitek thing again!"
Well, well, well. Seems like the juiciest rumors are floating about, ripe for the asking. But then, how are you going to travel the East without riding on Freeport? Should you wait?
