Chapter 7: The Road of Kings

  When Rolen was killing sharks in the sea water, the sailors on the deck of Davy also saw the blood-red ripples on the surface of the sea and sighed: "It's all over, that kid Rolen is done for."

  No one thought that such a frail-looking young man could kill sharks, in fact, no sailor or dockworker on this ship could do it.

  Everyone in Vandom knows about Hai Xiang's terror.

  "This poor kid is so pitiful, first time out to earn some money and ends up dying at the hands of a shark." Gertz sighed, but it was just a sigh.

  "It's a pity, really," said Steward Last, shaking his head. He turned to the first mate and said, "The sky is getting dark, we can't do any more work today, let's go back."

  The first mate nodded and began to shout orders for the sailors to weigh anchor and set sail. As for this orphan who had been hanging around the docks, no one would really care about his life or death.

  At this moment, a keen-eyed sailor shouted: "Look quickly, that little guy is floating up, his body seems to be intact."

  "Is he still alive?"

  The first mate felt somewhat incredulous, hastily turned around to look, and when he saw the situation on the water's surface, he burst out laughing: "Oh, indeed, this is truly good news. He swam over, hurry up and receive him!"

  "Good boy, he must have killed the shark, otherwise there wouldn't be so much blood on the water surface!"

  Rast shook his head and couldn't help but sigh: "You really can't judge a person by their appearance."

  People on the deck were in an uproar, no one had expected such a result, a frail young boy, fighting with powerful sharks in the sea, actually killed the shark.

  "Look out, there's more than one shark!" The sailor cried out again.

  Everyone looked out to sea and saw three more shark fins moving rapidly across the surface of the water, their center of movement being Rowland. The sailors knew that these sharks had been attracted by the smell of blood, whether it was the blood of their own kind or that of their prey, both were equally exciting for them.

  "Swim faster, young man, swim faster!" The first mate shouted and waved his hand from the side of the boat.

  Before, his impression of Luo Lin was just a young man with excellent swimming skills, but after the other party killed a shark, this impression changed, and he became a capable and respectable person, although he was very young, he had just killed a shark!

  Luo Lin achieved what no one else in the room could achieve. To some extent, he became a strong man, and it's natural for strong men to receive respect and admiration.

  Now, sailors instinctively did not want to see a fierce kid like Loring being killed by a group of sharks.

  "Hurry up and throw the harpoon, spear that shark to death!" Some sailors started throwing harpoons at the shark, trying to drive it away.

  But the sailor wasn't a fisherman and his aim with the fishing spear was extremely poor, several times almost spearing Rolen.

  "Avast ye, do ye want to murder him?" the first mate bellowed.

  Just as three sharks were about to reach Lorin again, three icy spikes suddenly appeared out of thin air.

  These three ice shards cut through the air at an extremely fast speed, emitting a 'hissing' sound. As they flew, they brought up a white misty line that extended out and pointed towards the shark in the water.

  "Snap", "snap", "snap", three crisp cracking sounds, each icicle accurately hitting the sharks in the sea, directly blasting a large blood hole in their bodies.

  Three sharks about two meters long turned over their bellies silently and that was it.

  This sudden change was really too sudden, and the deck suddenly became quiet from the noise, with everyone turning their heads to look at the source of the ice thorn, only to see a blue-robed Davy standing on the bow of the ship, with a wisp of white mist entwined in her outstretched hand, reminding everyone that those three deadly ice thorns were her masterpiece.

  "Second Miss." Laster hastily stepped forward and bowed.

  The first mate and all the sailors also hurriedly saluted, their eyes looking at this young woman with boundless reverence.

  "Alright, it's settled then. Kao Wen, you guys pull that kid out of the water." Dài Wēi pointed at Luo Lin in the water.

  "Yes, Miss." First Mate Kawahara immediately ordered the sailors to rescue her.

  "It's getting late, Laste, and we need to deal with the goods we've salvaged. Let's head back to port."

  "Yes, Miss Two."

  After finishing her orders, Davy looked at Rolin again, smiled, and then turned around to leave. It wasn't until her figure disappeared into the captain's quarters that everyone felt the pressure in their hearts dissipate, and they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  The power of these noble and wise masters is really too terrifying.

  In the water, Luo Lin saw more things, and his intelligent brain gave him some information about this woman.

  Davy de Vries

  Ordinary lawyer apprentice of 8th grade

  Mastered Spells: Ice Thorn, Flame Breath, Arcane Wall.

  He didn't expect to run into a real Taoist priest, and although he was only an apprentice, his power was already this strong!

  Luolin discovered that the magicians in this world were completely different from those player magicians in the game. The magicians in the game were just a group of players controlling energy, they were still ordinary people. In this real world, magicians represented noble status, unmatched wisdom, and supreme power, possibly the highest class in this world.

  An ordinary law apprentice has such a status among ordinary people, so what level is Vianna, who is not only a great law master but also a dragon clan? Perhaps it can only be described as the pinnacle of the golden pyramid.

  At this moment, Luo Lin felt that the road he had to walk was very long.

  His physical origin is extremely ordinary, at the bottom of society, and compared to Vianna, he is inferior in every aspect by tens of thousands of miles, it's simply a difference between clouds and mud.

  "The gap is huge, but as the saying goes, 'Are there any heroes among kings and nobles?' Heroes emerge in chaotic times. The Beastman's frenzy a year later, followed by twenty years of turmoil, was exactly my opportunity to rise rapidly... To counter the equally heroic Beastmen, it's useless for me to be alone, I need helpers, the more the better." Luo Lin thought about his future plans.

  "Roland, you are on the path of a king, for only kings can stand firm in this world and have the capital and strength to welcome the arrival of the Federation." The intelligent brain gave out the answer.

  Luolin was taken aback, then agreed with Zhi Nao's words: "You're right, it's the King's Road."

  But it's not for some damn welcoming of the Federation.

  In the sea, the surviving sharks seemed to be scared away by supernatural forces, and Rowlin returned smoothly to the deck of the Davy.

  "Good boy, you're impressive." The deputy commander walked over and patted Luo Lin's shoulder.

  Luolin smiled foolishly and scratched his head, saying apologetically: "Sir, I owe you an apology. I lost the dagger you lent me."

  The deputy commander was taken aback, smiled and shook his head: "It's just a dagger, it's lost, so be it. No big deal."

  "Thank you very much."

  "Haha, good kid, your soul is much stronger than your body, he's very brave." The first mate patted Roland on the shoulder and then turned to command the sailors to set sail back to port.

  Luo Lin put on his own clothes, and soon found that the sailors and dockworkers on the ship had a subtle change in their attitude towards him. The implicit disdain in their eyes when they looked at him before had completely disappeared. When he occasionally glanced over, the other party would smile and nod at him.

  Gertz uncle no longer had to look at the child's attitude towards him, he saw Roline and smiled: "If Amos that old drunkard knew his adopted son was so capable, he would be surprised to jump out of the water, haha."

  In short, after killing a shark, Luo Lin suddenly gained everyone's recognition and respect.

  More than an hour later, the Davy returned to the port of Vandom and when disembarking, Rast paid the reward as promised, at a rate of one silver coin per crate, so Loring had seven more silver coins in his hand.

  Compared to his previous dock work, earning a few coppers a day, this sum of money was entirely profiteering, enough for Luo Lin to spend a month drinking and eating meat every day.

  If he hadn't met him, Luo Lin would have really used the money to eat and drink, but now, he had to use this sum of money to earn him an even greater reputation.

  Because of his reputation for bravery will be a great help to his future development.

  As he thought so, he turned around and walked towards the small restaurant by the dock. But just a few steps later, he heard someone calling his name from behind. He turned his head to see that it was the first mate of the Davy, a man named Cowan.

  "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

  "I don't have anything in particular, but our young lady has something she wants to see you about."
