Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle
Chapter 69 Mayor Kro! First Encounter with the Sea Monster!
The atmosphere on the Velvet was exceptionally relaxed; as long as there was no emergency, all positions could be flexibly rotated.
When Roya got tired of helmsmanship, he switched positions with Sophia. He went to the lookout tower to stand guard, while Sophia took over the helm.
In addition, you can clean the deck or move a chair to the stern to fish.
Arya wants to learn how to sail. She only needs to tell Roya to take over the helm. If the course is slightly off, Sophia will correct it in time.
The atmosphere on the whole ship was free and comfortable.
Arya was on lookout duty today, and her voice rang out: "Captain, a merchant ship has been spotted at 11 o'clock ahead, along with a pirate ship pursuing it!"
Upon hearing this, Roya immediately secured the rudder, quickly climbed up to the lookout tower, took the nautical telescope handed to him by Aria, and looked in the direction of eleven o'clock.
Today the sky is clear and the view is excellent.
Through the lens, Roya saw a large, two-masted merchant ship with a figurehead resembling a white dove sailing towards him.
Behind the merchant ship was a two-masted pirate ship flying a black pirate flag, which fluttered in the wind and followed closely behind the merchant ship.
Both being two-masted sailing ships, the merchant ship ahead had a very deep draft and was fully loaded with cargo, so it couldn't pick up any speed at all, and it was only a matter of time before it was overtaken by the pirate ship.
"It's an old acquaintance." Roya put down his binoculars, his face showing surprise.
"An acquaintance?" Aria tilted her head.
"That's the White Dove. It's like we're from the same hometown."
Seeing that the White Dove was in danger, he naturally couldn't leave it alone. Luo Ya grabbed one end of the active rope, jumped down, and landed steadily next to the rudder.
He loosened the active ropes, turned the rudder, and propelled the Velvet toward the Dove at full speed.
The White Dove was originally the famous pirate ship Red Pearl. After being captured by Roya, it was sold to Mayor Locke of White Sand Town.
The ships were converted into merchant vessels, traveling between various commercial islands in the Seifeng Sea.
On the deck of the White Dove, Mayor Locke was covered in cold sweat. Anyone being relentlessly pursued by pirates would find it impossible to remain calm and composed.
"Locke, what are you waiting for!"
Captain Edward roared, "The White Dove must jettison its cargo and lighten its load before we can shake off those pirates!"
He was the captain of the White Dove, hired by Mayor Locke at a high salary of fifteen silver coins a day, and had twenty years of sailing experience.
Mayor Locke looked pained and hesitated. Losing a ship full of cargo was more painful than cutting off his own flesh.
However, if they insist on not abandoning it, the White Dove's speed is insufficient, and it will soon be overtaken by the pirate ships.
Once boarding action begins, winning means saving the cargo, while losing means losing both the ship and the cargo, and even risking one's life.
Even more fatally, the White Dove had no hired adventurers on board; the ship was filled with ordinary sailors and a dozen or so ordinary guards composed of retired soldiers.
Engaging in close combat with pirate ships would be like throwing an egg against a rock, a suicidal act.
"Captain! Mayor! Ship spotted ahead!" a sailor on the lookout suddenly shouted, his voice echoing across the deck.
"A ship!?" Captain Edward and Mayor Locke perked up and took out their binoculars to look around.
Upon realizing it was just a small two-masted sailing ship, Captain Edward's face instantly filled with disappointment.
If it is a large merchant ship or warship, half of the cargo can be used as payment to ask the guards and marines on board to help.
But this sailboat is too small, with at most a dozen or so crew members, so it's not reliable at all.
Mayor Locke immediately recognized the ship as the Velvet, which had been sold to Roya.
At the ship's helm, a familiar young figure noticed his gaze and immediately waved to him.
"Great! We're saved!" Mayor Locke put down his binoculars, his face beaming with joy.
Captain Edward was puzzled, unable to understand how this unassuming little boat could help them escape their predicament.
On the Velvet.
With a thought, Luo Ya summoned the two-headed dragon lizard, A Bao, from the sea beside the ship.
A Bao reached level eighteen, his body length increased to eighteen meters, and his two giant ice and fire bodies were ferocious and domineering, exuding a chilling aura.
"Wow! Bao has grown so big!" Aria jumped down from the lookout tower and stood on the deck, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.
Sophia came out of the infirmary after hearing the commotion and learned that the White Dove was being chased by a pirate ship. She immediately decided to take action.
"You two are coming together?" Roya looked at the two women in surprise.
Aria and Sophia nodded in unison.
Luo Ya then gave them the opportunity to participate in the event. A Bao bent down and carried Aria and Sophia on his back as they swam swiftly toward the pirate ship.
Abao's normal swimming speed reaches 18 knots, and its short-distance sprint burst can soar to 54 knots, far exceeding the speed of ordinary enchanted ships.
Luo Ya stroked his chin, secretly pondering: once A Bao grows a bit bigger, will he be able to get in front of the Velvet and pull the ship to catch up?
At this moment, Ah Bao was unaware that his unscrupulous master intended to use him as a "sea laborer," carrying two women and charging towards the enemy pirate ship at a speed of forty knots.
On the pirate ship, a group of pirates were eager to catch up with the White Dove merchant ship and plunder it.
"Something's coming!" A pirate noticed the waves breaking, his pupils contracted, and he shouted in terror.
"It's a giant sea monster! And there's someone on its back!"
"Damn it, it's a sea monster!" The pirate captain frowned, but remained calm.
Among the pirates, some who looked young and whose complexions weren't as dark showed fear.
But the veteran pirates remained unperturbed, instead displaying expressions of keen interest or pride, whispering to the newly joined pirates, "Leave that sea monster to the first mate; he'll definitely handle it easily."
"A sea monster messenger? Let me handle it." A cold, arrogant voice rang out.
A dark-skinned, burly man with a horse-like face emerged from the cabin.
He glanced at the Velvet in the distance, his face full of disdain: "It must be the superhumans on that small boat. Daring to interfere in Steelbeard's affairs, I'll teach them a lesson!"
The pirates immediately cheered.
The reason they were not afraid of the attacking sea monster was because their first mate, Ollie, was also a sea monster hunter.
Ollie thoroughly enjoyed the praise from everyone, and his arrogance grew even stronger.
Even the pirate captain, Steelbeard Selman, was wary of this powerful first mate, but he wore a warm and respectful smile on his face.
Having enjoyed the adulation to her heart's content, Ollie slowly opened his eyes and shouted, "Elsa, come forth! Let the sea resound with your fear!"
"boom!"
The sea to the right of the pirate ship suddenly exploded, and a huge horse head broke out of the water. Its long, serpentine body coiled on the surface of the sea, its scales dark and its length over thirty meters, exuding a terrifying aura.
This is Ollie's contracted sea monster, the horse-headed snake demon, Elsa!
