I Have a Sailing Game-Chapter 112 - 108: Unhinged
My travelogue needs to be rewritten!
Kadi felt like crying without tears, but he still offered words of comfort to Mayor David.
[Mayor David, you needn’t worry about Captain Rogel. He’s an Extr... extraordinarily skilled person, the Stone Demon certainly can’t hurt him.]
Kadi almost let something slip again.
[I certainly understand the precious courage of adventurers, but I’m even more aware of the terror of the Stone Demon.]
Mayor David sighed and waved his hand towards the security team behind him.
[Let’s go, although the hope is slim, we must go in and take a look. At the very least, we can’t let a warrior who fought for our Seren Island die in vain.]
Mayor David prepared to lead the group on their way.
As they were about to set off, some members of the security team began to grumble.
[We shouldn’t have hired these unreliable adventurers, they’re as stupid as mules, overestimating themselves.]
[How strong can one person be? Can they really stand up to the Stone Demon’s fist?]
[In the end, we still have to risk finding him, and we might even have to put ourselves in danger...]
Hearing these words, Kadi felt an urge to retort.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a familiar figure, and immediately rejoiced.
[Mr. Rogel!]
That’s right, Rogel was already returning with the head of the Stone Demon.
His return instantly drew everyone’s attention.
Mayor David, upon seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he might have overthought things; Rogel was indeed just scouting the mine environment.
[Mayor David, here is the head of the Stone Demon.]
[The commission is complete.]
Rogel weighed the stone in his hand as he spoke.
[What? You...]
[You mean, the Stone Demon has been dealt with, by you alone?]
Mayor David’s first reaction was one of disbelief.
Such a creature as a Stone Demon, apart from specialized hunters and armies, it’s almost impossible for anyone to easily handle.
And Rogel had only left his mayor’s office for how long?
Less than half an hour!
That’s simply not something a person could accomplish!
[That’s impossible! Kid, stop joking, you must have brought a fake stone to fool us!]
Someone behind Mayor David, with a more straightforward nature, voiced their doubt.
[Fooling you? You must be overestimating yourself!]
Kadi immediately retorted.
Rogel raised his hand to stop their argument.
[Alright, just go back to the mine and you’ll know, stop the meaningless quarrels.]
Rogel’s voice was very calm.
[What a joke! If the Stone Demon is still there...]
Before he could finish, Mayor David reached out to stop him.
[Let’s go take a look first.]
Rogel nodded and led the group to the mine.
When they saw the body of the Stone Demon, everyone fell silent.
If the Stone Demon’s head could be faked, the body simply couldn’t be.
Not only did its body have special patterns, but most obviously, its massive weight.
[See? Here is the corpse of the Stone Demon. Our Captain Rogel only needed to make a slight move to send the Stone Demon to hell unharmed!]
Kadi proudly raised his head, hands on his hips, as if it was he who slew the Stone Demon.
[Mayor David, I’m sorry to trouble you to come all the way to find me.]
[However, although this Stone Demon was tricky, I could barely manage to solve it.]
[I’ll leave the head of the Stone Demon to you for now. I’m going back to town to find my crew.]
[Oh right, there are also the remains of three miners over there.]
Rogel pointed to where he had previously discovered a diary.
With that, he tossed the head of the Stone Demon in front of them.
With a thud, the Stone Demon’s head hit the ground and made a hole.
[...Thank you for your help. Seren Island will remember your kindness; I will double your reward, Captain Rogel.]
Mayor David said very earnestly.
Rogel smiled, patted Kadi’s arm beside him, and left the mine.
The security team members looked at each other, then a strong person stepped forward to try lifting the Stone Demon’s head.
However, he struggled for a long time before barely managing to lift the head.
[So... heavy!]
Unexpectedly, this not-so-large Stone Demon head was so heavy.
Yet Rogel could hold such a heavy object with one hand and appeared so relaxed.
No wonder he could single-handedly take down the Stone Demon!
It’s terrifying!
What kind of person is this exactly?
The person who was complaining earlier swallowed and looked down, not even daring to look at Rogel’s departing figure.
...
Mayor David, to express his gratitude to Rogel for his help, specially arranged a banquet on Seren Island to entertain everyone from the Gelin.
After a day’s rest, the supplies on the Gelin were almost fully replenished.
Rogel took a turn around the blacksmith shop, but didn’t find anything good and reaped little.
The blacksmithing skills on Seren Island are also quite ordinary.
After taking a rest, Rogel and the others prepared to board the ship and set off.
However, just as they were on their way back, a young man in a green robe stopped them, angrily looking at Rogel.
[Did you kill the Stone Demon in the mine?]
[You damned executioners!]
[The Stone Demon was living well in its territory; it was the greedy humans who disturbed it for the minerals that caused it to kill. How could you do this!]
[Those miners deserved to die, and so do you!]
[Heaven will definitely punish you!]
"..."
Rogel and his crew exchanged glances, a bit at a loss.
Is there really such a person?
He remembered that the miner’s notes mentioned this matter, so it seems this kid must be the one causing trouble at the mine.
Mayor David, who was seeing Rogel off, frowned and gestured for the security team to take away this guy immediately.
Mayor David rubbed his brow, a bit of a headache.
[Sorry, Captain Rogel.]
[This person came from the Royal City a few days ago, seems to be from the Yonghe Sect... the people from this sect are quite...] 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Mayor David tried hard to search for suitable words in his mind but found none, so he just pointed to his head.
Crazy.
The word popped into Rogel’s mind.
Perhaps rare, extraordinary species indeed should be protected, but it’s absurd that someone even wants to protect such a ferocious and irritable extraordinary creature like a Stone Demon.
Ridiculous.
This person is truly all-loving; he should be left to live with the Stone Demon and watch its teeth baring.
Presumably, the Stone Demon would also be happy to crash him into a pancake and preserve it.
However, this made Rogel somewhat curious about what kind of place the Royal City of the Thousand Islands Kingdom actually is.
On one hand, there is the Mother Goddess Church which is mysterious and dangerous; on the other, there is the Yonghe Sect which can cultivate such crazy people.
A zoo or a hotchpotch?
...
After finishing the rest on Seren Island, the Gelin once again set sail on its journey.
When Rogel and the others set off, it was already afternoon, so he did not explore the last level of the Land Cave but instead started forging in the casting room.
Although Rogel didn’t find anything particularly precious in the Seren Island blacksmith shop, he still managed to buy some equipment blueprints from the blacksmith master.
He began honing his forging skills.
However, his current blacksmithing skills are already at level five, and the leveling speed has slowed down.
To level up quickly, he must create some high-quality weapons and equipment.
In the evening, Rogel emerged from the casting room.
The equipment he was forging this time couldn’t be completed in one day, so he has to take it slow.
As Rogel was about to go help in the kitchen, he saw Kadi engaged in a discussion with Mira about the contents of a book.
[...It is certainly not without merit, Miss Mira; you can feel the beauty of the words within. Its romantic feel can leave one feeling pleasant and joyful.]
Kadi’s expression was one of bliss.
[So, it’s useless besides its flowery language.]
Mira concluded in the end.
Kadi was immediately at a loss for words.
Seeing this, Rogel smiled; ever since Kadi got on board, the Gelin had indeed become much livelier.
He went into the kitchen, where Lina was busy cooking.
Regardless of her cooking skills, Lina’s knife work was simply impeccable.
The sliced ingredients were of uniform thickness, neatly arranged, and looked pleasing to the eye.
Rogel stepped forward and began to help out.
[Meow~]
Big Orange circled around Lina’s feet, nuzzling her heels affectionately, ignoring Rogel completely.
Lina cut off a small piece of meat and handed it to it.
[This lazy cat has gotten fatter again.]
Rogel realized he could barely recognize the once Big Orange.
[It comes to the kitchen on time every day.]
Lina said with a smile.
No wonder it doesn’t even look at me; turns out it’s a repeat offender...
Rogel thought to himself, chuckling inwardly.
