As Aaron was reading the travel map to the Full Moon Continent in his room, there was a sudden knock on the door."Just come in. The door is unlocked," Aaron said without taking his eyes off the map. He didn't have any bad thoughts about who was coming.The door was opened, but Aaron couldn't see the person because he was too focused on the map, until the sound of clearing his throat was heard.Aaron was surprised. It was a voice he recognized very well. He quickly turned his head."Hello, Leen." Aaron forced his lips into a smile. "Did you get enough sleep?"Not answering, Leen glared at Aaron. "You! I've been waiting for you to wake up from your coma for a whole week so I'm sleep deprived, but how can you not wait for me even for just one night?!"Aaron scratched his non-itchy head and chuckled softly. "Hehe, I'm in a hurry, so please forgive me."Yet, Leen still didn't seem satisfied with that answer. "And who dared to carry me? I'm sure I was in your room when I accidentally fell
Leen took out a small box from the pocket of his robe. "This is a teleportation token," Leen said as she handed it to Aaron. "With this, you will arrive directly at the port without the need to spend a very long time on the journey."Aaron looked at the box with a doubtful look. "But, this thing must be very expensive."Leen smiled. "Actually, this is a gift from Martial Online Company for you. So, you don't have to pay for it."Aaron raised his eyebrows in astonishment. "Really? But, why would the company give me a gift like this?""Because you're the best player ever in Martial Universe Online," Leen replied. "And our CEO, Jhon, wants to make sure that you return as quickly as possible to Shadow Legion Castle.""I'm sure you'll make it, Aaron. And don't worry, I'll still be watching you from afar."Aaron nodded and thanked him once again. Then, he began to cast a magic spell on the teleportation token before disappearing with his horse.***Silk Bay was a very active port in Golden
The passengers listened intently, intrigued by the captain's story. Aaron too followed the conversation with enthusiasm.The captain continued his story, "The pirates we faced were very cruel. They had a thousand troops and surrounded our ship from all directions. But we were well prepared. We hid hundreds of cannons in the hull of our ship, ready to be unleashed when needed."The passengers nodded along to the captain's story. They became more and more fixated on the story."When the battle started, we took out all the cannons we had. The explosions were so powerful that they tingled our ears. However, we managed to destroy many pirate ships and kill many of their troops.""Unfortunately, when I was caught up in the battle, I was injured and one of my legs had to be sacrificed," said the captain in a sad tone.The passengers were silent for a moment, contemplating the captain's heroic story. However, the captain quickly restored their spirits, "But that didn't stop me from continuing
Aaron took a fighting stance on the deck of the ship that was swaying under his feet. He looked up at the pirate who had just managed to climb up using the ladder they had installed."Come on, come here!" Aaron shouted to the pirate standing in front of him.A burly pirate smiled sarcastically and removed his sword from its sheath.'He must be the boss of this pirate group. He's the strongest,' Aaron thought.Both of their eyes looked at each other for a moment before they heard the sound of metal clashing together.Within seconds, Aaron and the pirate exchanged attacks with their swords. Their movements were so fast that they looked like shadows in the middle of the dark night. They tried to gain an advantage over each other, but neither succeeded in doing so.Aaron twisted his body and dodged the pirate's sword strike that was meant to hit his head. He then counterattacked with a swift movement toward his opponent's stomach, but the pirate easily dodged it."You're no match for me,
In addition, the captain also gave Aaron a VIP room and refunded his ticket. Aaron was very grateful and touched by the special treatment given to him.After the award ceremony was over, the passengers began to notice Aaron. They whispered to each other and gave respectful looks to the young man. Aaron felt a little uncomfortable with the attention given to him, but he still felt very grateful for the honor that had been given to him.The next day, when Aaron woke up, he felt very refreshed and energized. He felt he had a greater responsibility to protect the crew from any danger that might come his way. He was happy to be carrying the book of Water Spiders with him and looked forward to practicing his new skills right away.Over the next few days, Aaron practiced his skills diligently. He practiced walking on water and fighting using his new abilities. The crew saw his talent and toughness and respected him even more.At the end of the trip, the captain asked Aaron to speak in front
Aaron gasped when he saw the beautiful woman playing the lute downstairs. He paused for a moment, staring at the woman in amazement, enjoying the beauty of the music plucked from the strings of her lute. Aaron felt swept away by the beauty of the music and the beauty of the woman.When the woman finished playing the song, Aaron immediately gave her a round of applause. "Wow, you are very talented at playing the lute," Aaron praised.The woman smiled, "Thank you. I'm happy to be able to play music for the guests staying here."Aaron nodded, "I didn't know that this inn also offers live music entertainment. It's amazing."The lady smiled again. "We always try to provide a memorable experience for our guests. If you'd like to hear more, I'd love to play a few songs for you."Aaron smiled happily, "I would love to. Thank you very much."The woman took hold of her soy sauce again, playing some beautiful songs that made Aaron even more lost. Aaron felt mesmerized by the woman's beauty and
Eira suddenly interrupted their conversation seriously."I ask you to be on your guard, Mr. Aaron. At night, hundreds or even thousands of orcs will roam around here, looking for travelers who aren't lucky enough to encounter them. We'll have to find a place to hide tonight, so the journey will have to be temporarily halted.""Just continue our journey." Aaron smiled widely with arrogance. "I'm hunting orcs, those who won't be lucky enough to meet me.""Are you sure you have enough strength to face them all, Mr. Aaron?" Eira asked nervously.Aaron looked at Eira with a confident gaze. "Of course, I can face them. I'm not afraid of orcs."However, Eira still warned Aaron about the danger and suggested that they find a safe place to spend the night. Aaron then decided to listen to Eira's advice and find a safe place to stay.As a good traveler, Aaron had to follow the orders of his guide.After all, even if he didn't hunt orcs, his orc kill count would continue to grow as Shadow Legion
Aaron stared at Eira with wide-open eyes. "Did I hear you wrong, or have you gone crazy?"Eira relaxed her smile. Looking a little offended by Aaron's words."You didn't hear wrong, and I'm not crazy," the girl said. "This is part of the safety procedure. If we sleep in different tents, then we can't immediately combine forces when a surprise attack occurs. It's a very common thing, but you don't even know it, Mr. Aaron."Eira then told me about the tour guides who were found dead along with their customers for sleeping in separate tents. They all thought orcs weren't smart enough to strategize an attack. Such false assumptions successfully sent their lives to the afterlife."Mr. Aaron, I'm the leader of this trip, so you can't object to anything I say." Eira gave Aaron a sharp look. "If you refuse, I will leave you here. You may decide."[Quest: CommonSleep with Eira without committing a crime.Reward: Eira's respect].Aaron let out a long breath before finally accepting the request
