Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

Half of the White Dove's sailors and guards boarded the pirate ship, bound all the pirates on deck tightly, and imprisoned them on two separate ships.

Steelbeard Selman and the sea monster Olly were also imprisoned. To prevent Steelbeard Selman from breaking free and causing trouble after he awakened, Sophia concocted a potion that could suppress magic power and then bound Steelbeard Selman with heavy iron chains.

After bidding farewell to Mayor Locke and the sailors aboard the White Dove, Roya and Sophia watched the two ships gradually sail away.

Roya carefully kept the IOU. If Mayor Locke violated the deadline, he could take the IOU to the Royal Court in the capital to apply for arbitration and seize White Sand Town for himself.

The next step, naturally, is to check the spoils.

Inside the Velvet's restaurant, Arya dumps the loot she plundered from the pirate ship onto the dining table.

There were more than ten gold coins, more than thirty silver coins, and hundreds of copper coins inside, all of which Aria had looted from the pirates on the deck.

In addition, Arya also searched the pirate ship's kitchen, cabins, and storage rooms, bringing back a lot of spices, honey, and sea salt.

Sophia searched the infirmary and the captain's cabin, bringing back the medicines and magical plants from the infirmary and storing them on the Velvet.

In the captain's cabin, Sophia didn't find the money hidden by Captain Steelbeard Selman, but only a golden treasure chest that she couldn't open no matter what she did.

This treasure chest is half a meter long, half a meter wide, and half a meter high.

Sophia realized that this treasure chest was no ordinary item, so she brought it back. Besides that, there was also Steelbeard Selman's enchanted longsword.

The enchantment above only increases strength slightly, which is far inferior to Roya's Poison Scales, so it's best to save it.

The silver and copper coins were deposited into the team's funds, while the gold coins were divided among the three members, with each person receiving six coins.

Roya's gaze fell on the golden treasure chest; it wasn't locked, so he couldn't open it.

He stared at the golden treasure chest for a long while, and a notification popped up on the panel:

[Secret Treasure Chest]

[Type: Treasure Trove, Storage Box]

[Quality: A Miracle]

[Ability: Users need to enter a pre-set password to turn it on and off. It contains fifty storage slots. (Note! Objects larger than ten times the size of the treasure chest cannot be placed inside, nor can living creatures be stored.)]

[Introduction: The previous user is dead, and the secret code is no longer valid. Or you could ask a divination mage for help?]

Luo Ya never expected that this was a secret treasure that required a password set by the user to open and close.

If Steelbeard Selman were still here, Roya could have interrogated him and obtained the secret message, but unfortunately it has already been handed over to Mayor Locke.

Fortunately, there is a second option.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, once Mayor Locke hands Steelbeard Selman over to the Navy, they will have him executed.

Once the previous user dies, the password becomes invalid, and the treasure chest can be opened.

As for hiring a divination mage, forget it, I don't have the connections.

Luo Ya told the two curious children that the golden treasure chest was a secret treasure and required a secret code to open.

They immediately exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that the golden box would be a secret treasure.

All three were extremely curious about what was inside the golden treasure chest, and could only pray that Steelbeard Selman would be hanged by the Navy soon.

Tonight's dinner is grilled sea monster meat, which is a piece of tail that Arya cut off from the two-headed dragon lizard.

The energy contained in the sea monster roasted meat was astonishing; Roya felt full after eating only a fist-sized piece.

Sophia and Aria only ate two ounces, and they were full.

In the end, Misha got the big piece of roasted sea monster meat.

……

Three days later, standing on the Velvet's lookout tower, Arya exclaimed with delight, "Captain, Sophia! We can see the coastline! We're almost at Bear Paw Island!"

In the past few days, the Velvet's sailing time has remained unchanged at ten hours, but with the blessing of the Hurricane Eye Treasure, its speed has always been maintained at 8 to 9 knots.

Therefore, the Velvet sailed nearly 500 nautical miles in just four and a half days.

"We can only see the coastline; there's still quite a distance to go," Sophia, who was in charge of steering the ship, said helplessly.

As for Roya, he was fishing at the stern.

At the stern of the Velvet, he appeared to be fishing, but his mind was actually focused on the text briefing on the panel.

After grinding levels for the past few days, Ah-Dai and Mi-Sha's levels remained unchanged, while the two-headed dragon lizard went from level 18 to level 20.

Once Abao reaches level 21, he should be able to clear the dungeon. I wonder if he can obtain the treasure that will allow the Skeleton Warrior to break through his rank in the dungeon.

"Captain, a three-masted sailing ship spotted!!" Arya's urgent voice interrupted Roya's thoughts.

He got up and packed up his fishing rod and stool.

Upon reaching the bow, Roya spotted a three-masted sailing ship over fifty meters long, sailing in the same direction as the Velvet, its destination also being Bear Paw Island.

Both sides were seven or eight nautical miles apart and could clearly see each other.

"Is it a pirate ship?" Roya asked.

Arya was examining the ship through her nautical telescope when she spotted the flag flying from the mast and immediately exclaimed, "That's an adventure ship!"

"An adventure ship?!"

Roya and Sophia exchanged glances. The so-called adventure ship actually meant a fleet of ships composed of adventurers.

Adventurers need to register with the Adventurers' Guild and earn rewards by completing tasks assigned by the guild.

Some adventurers, whose strength has grown, have become dissatisfied with the quests on their islands, or the monsters on the islands have been cleared out. So they buy ships, form teams, and set sail on adventures.

The size, flag, figurehead, and identification code of an adventure ship are registered at the naval port and cannot be changed arbitrarily.

Besides adventure ships, there are also exploration ships on the high seas, mainly for exploring dangerous places and searching for treasures.

Of course, on the high seas, whether it's an adventure ship or an exploration ship, it can easily transform into a pirate ship.

In short, you still need to be more discerning and attentive.

"They're using flag signals on the other side," Aria's voice continued.

Arya doesn't know semaphore, so Sophia has to take over.

Sophia climbed to the lookout point, and after observing through her nautical binoculars for a while, she said, "They are asking us who we are."

Roya nodded and had the [Active Rope] raise the merchant ship's flag.

At the same time, have Sophia send out flag signals that indicate no ill intent.

Roya meant no harm, but he didn't know if the adventure ship was hostile. He was prepared to summon Ah Dai and the others at any time.

The sailors on the deck of that adventure ship raised their flags again.

Shortly after, Sophia frowned and said, "They told us not to follow them and to land separately."

Roya didn't want to cause any more trouble. "That's for the best. Bear Paw Island should have many natural harbors. Tell that adventure ship we're going to the right side of the island."

Soon after, the two ships separated, one on the left and one on the right.

The unfamiliar adventure ship sailed towards the left side of the island.

The Velvet cruise ship circled around to the right of the island, searching for a suitable natural harbor.
