Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

As dusk fell, the sea breeze began to pick up.

When Mrs. Mars learned that a storm was about to hit Gourmet Island, she took out planks and nails from the storeroom and reinforced the doors and windows.

Arya immediately offered her help.

After returning from their walk in the woods, Roya and Sophia joined in.

With everyone working together, they quickly reinforced the hotel's doors and windows.

In addition, Mrs. Mars also had to bring back the ripe vegetables from the fields outside the inn, otherwise they would be swept away by the storm or rot from the heavy rain.

There are too many vegetables to eat, so they can be pickled and preserved.

As night fell, the sea breeze picked up again, with the wind force soaring from level three or four to level five or six.

There were hardly any customers left on the food street; most were either in their hotels or had gone home early to reinforce their doors and windows to prevent further damage from the storm.

At this moment, a group of marines were busy in the square of the food street, dismantling the arena to prevent it from being blown away by the storm and causing even greater disaster.

"Fire!"

A shout rang out, and the marines looked up and immediately saw flames and billowing black smoke rising into the sky from the direction of the dock in the distance. They immediately abandoned the dismantling of the arena and rushed to put out the fire.

The fire at the pier naturally had no effect on the French Riviera hotel located in the suburbs.

After Mrs. Mars reinforced the doors and windows, she lit the fireplace in the hall. The warm firelight dispelled the dampness and chill.

After dinner, the three of them did not go back to their rooms to rest immediately. Instead, they sat together and played cards.

Mrs. Mars did not participate; she was at the counter doing the accounting, and in the meantime, she provided Roya and his two companions with a pot of hot tea and several plates of delicate snacks.

"Knock knock knock!"

There was a rapid knocking on the hotel's main door.

Mrs. Mars, who was doing her accounts at the counter, looked up in confusion.

With a storm approaching, this timing of their visit seems highly unusual.

She walked to the door, moved the wooden stick blocking the door, and opened the door.

A howling wind swept in, carrying with it a strong, pungent smell of blood and rust.

"I'm sorry I startled you, madam." Outside the door stood a young man, one hand holding a rapier and the other clutching his blood-soaked abdomen.

"Kino!!" Roya was quite surprised to see the figure at the door.

"It's me, Mr. Roya."

Seeing that the injured young man knew Roya, Mrs. Mars stepped aside to make way for him and invited Chino into the shop to escape the storm.

"How did you get hurt like this?" Roya looked at the information above Kino's head to confirm that the person was indeed there.

Kino's health was down to half, and his internal injuries were far more dangerous than they appeared.

"Please treat my wound first. Once you're done, I'll explain everything slowly," Kino said with a wry smile.

Roya nodded in agreement, and Sophia immediately went upstairs to get a first-aid kit and went to the table to bandage and treat Kino's wounds.

Roya and Aria watched Kino quietly, wondering how he had gotten into such a sorry state.

"After we parted ways, I went to search for the Evil Eye Pirates, and tonight I finally found their stronghold."

"I used my ability to eavesdrop, and I never expected that Evil Eye Potter would actually cooperate with a team of bounty hunters in the black market."

"I was exposed and almost killed. After escaping, I came to find you."

"Wait, if you just come over like this, won't that attract the Evil Eye Pirates?" Roya frowned, his face full of displeasure.

"It wasn't a trap. The Evil Eye Pirates were planning to launch a sneak attack on you and eliminate you during tonight's storm," Kino said, shrugging.

But Roya was still very angry. He turned to Sophia and said, "Don't bandage him up. This guy is a traitor."

"Let's just poison him," Arya suggested.

"Okay." Sophia nodded; she also hated traitors.

"There's no need for this, I apologize. After defeating the Evil Eye Pirates, you'll take 70% of the bounty, and I'll only get 30%, okay?" Kino quickly said.

"No way," Roya said decisively.

"Ten percent of the bounty?" Kino continued to shout, seeing that Roya still didn't look happy, he knew that he hadn't done anything right.

He could feel the wound going numb and was afraid he would actually be poisoned to death.

"I don't want the other spoils of war either, and I'm not unprepared; I've also called for a powerful reinforcement," Kino hurriedly shouted.

"Okay, I'll forgive you for now," Roya said, pursing his lips.

Upon learning that the Evil Eye Pirates and a team of superhumans from the black market were about to attack, Roya and his companions immediately began preparations for battle.

Sophia was preparing potions. Having just been promoted to Black Iron Witch Doctor, she was about to participate in a battle against a Black Iron-level superhuman. To be honest, she was a little nervous.

Arya, on the other hand, was rubbing her hands together, warming up.

She excels in close combat and is proficient in a set of advanced fighting techniques, having already incorporated fire abilities into her fist and foot techniques.

Kino, on the other hand, lay leisurely in the rocking chair in front of the fireplace, showing no sign of tension whatsoever.

Roya also changed into clothes suitable for combat. He left his steel longsword and musket on the ship and could only make do with a short sword.

Thinking of this, Roya's gaze couldn't help but fall on Kino.

How did he manage to carry that rapier without being questioned by the patrolling marines?

Luo Adam asked out of curiosity.

"I'm a registered bounty hunter, so I'm legally allowed to carry weapons," Kino explained, shrugging.

Roya: "..."

"Knock knock!"

The knocking sounded again.

Luo Ya and the others immediately stopped smiling and looked at the door with vigilance. They could clearly sense a figure with a chilling aura standing outside the door.

"Mrs. Mars, it's me." A slightly familiar voice sounded from outside the door.

"It's Mr. Simon." Mrs. Mars looked surprised.

Roya suddenly remembered the naval captain in civilian clothes who had visited Mrs. Mars some time ago.

Arya deftly moved the wooden stick aside and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a blond man in a naval uniform with a long sword at his waist, standing tall and straight.

"I received intelligence that a pirate crew is about to attack the inn." Colonel Simon entered the inn, his gaze sweeping over Sophia, Aria, and Kino in the lobby, before finally settling on Roya.

His gaze sharpened.

Of the four, only Roya had a bounty on his head.

"Are you still a wanted criminal? How much is the bounty?" Kino was clever and immediately guessed the reason, then asked Roya with a face full of curiosity.

"Hmm, so-so," Luo Ya replied dismissively.

Now that things have come to this, he simply cannot bring himself to offer the three silver coins as a reward.

Kino was extremely anxious, desperately wanting to find out the amount of Roya's bounty.

However, Luo Ya refused to give a direct answer, so he could only secretly plan to go back and check the bounty list to verify the information.

For now, let's help Roya out of this predicament.

Kino immediately said, "It's the Evil Eye Pirates and a small team of bounty hunters active on the black market."
