Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

Luo Ya drew two buckets of well water in his small courtyard and quickly washed himself, finally getting rid of the blood and dust all over his body.

Wiping his wet hair, he looked up and saw that the clinic next door was still lit up, clearly indicating that Sophia and Old Adam's heart-to-heart talk was not yet over.

Luo Ya sat at the table, and with a thought, opened the system panel.

The previously empty list of [Instances] now has a brand new option.

After slaying the poisonous lizard, the new dungeon was unlocked.

He was about to set sail and didn't have time to check.

At that moment, Luo Ya suddenly realized that the so-called dungeon entrance might not be an inanimate object, but rather included the concept of living beings.

He began to examine the copy information carefully.

[Medium-sized dungeon: Purify Poison Lizard Island]

Challenge Level: 5-20

[Rewards for clearing the stage: Sequence Potions, Rare Items, Mysterious Treasures, Alchemy Items, Enchantment Equipment, Rare Materials, Summoner Class Items, Monster Eggs]

[Maximum number of projected summoned creatures: 2]

[Enter the instance immediately?]

After examining the situation, Luo Ya could only regretfully give up.

Ah-Dai and Mi-Sha have already cleared the dungeon once today, but they've run out of attempts and will have to wait until tomorrow to try again.

After closing the panel, Roya suddenly heard arguing coming from next door.

Sophia cried out in a tearful voice, "I'm not a child anymore!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp, loud slam of the door followed immediately.

Luo Ya listened carefully, feeling curious: How did this grandfather and grandson break up?

Sophia was a crew member he had reserved, a core member of the team. Now that she was in low spirits, should he go up and comfort her?

Before I could finish my thoughts, a low knock came from outside the door.

"Kid, come out here, I have something to say to you." Old Adam's hoarse voice rang out from outside the door.

Luo Ya felt a little guilty, but quickly regained his composure.

Now that he is a transcendent being of the Black Iron rank, Old Adam is no match for him at all, so there is no need for him to be afraid.

He immediately opened the door, and what came into view was old Adam, who looked dejected and exhausted.

"Come with me."

Old Adam left with a single sentence, then turned and walked away.

Luo Ya was completely confused. After a slight hesitation, he still followed.

Old Adam walked extremely fast, with steady and powerful steps that were difficult for ordinary people to keep up with. However, Roya, who had broken through to the Black Iron level, had a physique far superior to that of ordinary people and easily followed behind.

The two continued on their way and soon arrived at a seaside cliff on the edge of Baisha Town.

The wind howled against the cliff, the night was vast and dark, and a cold tombstone stood silently on the edge of the cliff.

Old Adam sat before the tombstone, gazing at it, and murmured to himself, his voice filled with vicissitudes and sorrow: "This is the cenotaph of Sophia's parents."

"Her father came from a remote island, but he was exceptionally talented and got into the Royal University in the capital on his own. It was there that he met Sophia's mother, and the two fell in love and soon had Sophia."

"After graduation, the two of them were busy with their work and traveled around all year round. Sophia was raised on the island from a young age and was raised by me."

"Ten years ago, young Sophia was seriously ill. The couple put aside all their affairs and rushed back to be with her. Those were the happiest times for that child."

"But just as they were on their way back to the capital on a merchant ship, disaster struck, and they encountered a once-in-a-century maritime catastrophe—a tsunami unleashed by the legendary sea monster, the narwhal king."

"No one survived the merchant ship that was full of passengers."

"Over the years, Sophia has been deeply mired in self-blame. She always felt that if she hadn't fallen ill back then, her parents wouldn't have returned, let alone boarded that wrecked merchant ship and ended up like this."

Luo Ya stood quietly to the side, speechless.

He never imagined that Sophia, who was usually cheerful, sunny, warm and gentle, carried such a heavy and repressed past in her heart.

Old Adam slowly turned his head, his gaze fixed on Roya, and said slowly and deliberately, his tone extremely solemn: "Do you know? This child has always insisted on going to sea. I have tried my best to stop her all these years because I was afraid she would go to her death."

"Her determination to go to sea was never about yearning for poetry and distant places, but rather to find that narwhal king and take revenge."

The Narwhal King is a truly legendary sea monster.

Its age is far older than the founding history of the Thousand Islands Kingdom, and its enormous size even surpasses that of the entire White Sand Island.

Legend has it that this sea monster can unleash a massive tsunami that overturns the sea with just a slight turn, making it a natural disaster that roams the ocean.

If others knew that Sophia was determined to seek revenge against such a terrifying being, they would most likely think she was overestimating herself, having wild fantasies, and even secretly laugh at her naive idea.

No matter what others said, Sophia's obsession never wavered in the slightest.

……

"hiss……"

When Luo Ya woke up, he felt as if his mind had been shredded with an iron bar.

Looking back on last night, he couldn't remember whether he had made any promises to Old Adam. He only remembered that after hearing those heavy stories, the old man dragged him to a tavern to drink without saying a word, and they drank until he blacked out.

At that moment, he felt dizzy and his only thought was to curl up in bed and catch up on sleep.

Unfortunately, this small wish was soon cruelly shattered.

"Waaah—"

The long, drawn-out sound of the ship's horn drifted from the direction of the dock.

Normally, Luo Ya might have gotten up out of curiosity to take a look, but with his hangover, all he wanted to do was sleep, so he simply ignored it.

"Ugh—!"

The second whistle sounded again, this time clearer.

His home wasn't very close to the pier, but the sound of the horn was extremely penetrating, almost echoing throughout the entire White Sand Island, making it impossible to escape.

"Waaaaah—!!"

The third blast of the steam whistle came on, making our eardrums buzz.

"Which bastard is disturbing the peace so early in the morning?!"

Luo Ya was completely wide awake. He got out of bed with his hair all messy and a face full of resentment.

"Bang bang bang!"

A rapid knocking followed.

Luo Ya walked with stiff steps, opened the door, and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy with a clever face standing outside.

Before he could speak, the little boy shouted rapidly, "Big brother! A Gypsy merchant ship has arrived at the dock! They sell all sorts of goods and treasures on board! Everyone, hurry over!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy dashed to the clinic next door and knocked on the door with lightning speed.

A moment later, the clinic door opened, and the blue-haired girl Sophia looked sleepy, with obvious dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she, like Roya, had not slept well last night.

The child repeated the message verbatim, then quickly turned and ran to the next house, not giving Sophia a chance to rub her face in revenge.

"Damn it... Fine, let's go take a look."

Sophia watched the child run away and sighed helplessly before turning to invite Roya over.

"Okay." Luo Ya nodded happily.

Although both of them were eager to go and see what was going on, they tacitly agreed not to set off immediately. Instead, they each went back to their rooms to wash up and tidy themselves up before heading to the dock together.
