Chapter 920: Disturbance by a Great Monster

Water magic users love the ocean, and their reasons are abundantly clear. The Trembling Ice Tower was constructed by the seaside, which naturally makes sense. Afterward, people gathered around the Trembling Ice Tower, forming a coastal city.

On the coast, the lighthouse stood vigil year-round with sentinels from the Trembling Ice Knights, alert to any movements on the sea. Spotting a small merchant fleet by the shore, a sentinel emerged from the lighthouse’s top, holding an amplification magical device, and bellowed at the fleet, “Where are you from? How could you pass by the Trembling Ice Tower at such a crucial time? Quick! Quickly dock, don’t sway on the sea anymore.”

His shout left the people on the ship utterly bewildered.

The fathers of the two young girls quickly rushed to the deck, picked up the magical amplification device, and shouted back, “What’s going on? Why should we dock? Is a storm brewing on the sea? Is it a tempest or something?”

“Worse than that, hurry to shore!” the sentinel urgently yelled. “Haven’t you noticed? There’s no other ship in the nearby sea?”

As he spoke, the fathers of the two girls were momentarily taken aback. Indeed, this was the stronghold of the Trembling Ice Knights, their lair, and a significant coastal city. In a city like this, how could they not depend on maritime trade? There should always be a constant flow of merchant ships nearby. However, at this moment, there were only their three ships on the sea. Other ships were all tucked away in the harbor.

There must be something wrong at sea. The two ship captains were startled, quickly saying, “Dock, dock quickly!”

Even Robb could not help but become curious. What was going on here? He turned to the two captains and said, “Let’s not reveal my identity for now. I want to watch.”

The two captains nodded.

The three ships rushed into the harbor at full speed, furling their sails and dropping anchor. Then, the sentinel from the lighthouse swiftly climbed aboard, followed by several other sentinels from the docks. They began by checking the credentials of the two captains, confirmed that one of them was indeed a merchant from the Kingdom of Gran, and then verified that there were no prohibited goods on their ships. Only then did they return to the deck.

They saw Robb sitting on the edge of the deck, fishing. However, not many people in this world recognized Robb’s face, so they treated him like an ordinary crew member and paid him no mind.

The sentinel said to the two captains, “You two have quite the audacity. You don’t even know what’s happening in the nearby sea, yet you dare to pass by the Trembling Ice Tower so confidently… If your luck weren’t good, you’d already be fish food at the bottom of the sea.”

The two captains asked in curiosity, “What’s wrong with this sea?”

“I might have an idea,” a crew member raised his hand. “You can’t catch fish in this sea. You can only catch dried bananas and similar things. It’s quite abnormal.”

The crowd: “…”

They ignored him!

The sentinel addressed the ship captains, “Recently, a mysterious sea monster has appeared in this area of the sea. It drags both people and ships under the sea when they set sail. So far, over twenty ships have gone missing here, yet we don’t even know what the monster looks like. All we know is that when it appears, it brings huge waves and dense fog. The ships get surrounded, and then strange sounds echo through the mist. By the time the fog clears, both the ships and the people are gone.”

The two ship captains were taken aback.

Robb couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow,” from the side.

The sentinel continued, “The magicians of the Trembling Ice Knights are preparing an ‘extermination team’ to deal with this monstrous threat. Until this creature is taken care of, you are not to leave the harbor, understood?”

The two captains quickly responded, “Understood!”

Robb, on the side, inquired, “How long will it take for this extermination team to deal with the sea monster?”

The sentinel felt a bit puzzled. The captains here were all saying “understood,” but now a crew member was chiming in to talk. He wasn’t in a position to speak, yet he did. This kind of behavior could get him in trouble with the captains.

However, Robb’s question was a standard one. Anyone would’ve asked it, so the sentinel answered out of habit, “It will take a few more days. As you know, the Trembling Ice Knights are currently responding to the call of Her Majesty the Queen and Godfather of Westwind City. They’ve dispatched their main forces to the Jinghong Mountains to exterminate the monsters and prepare for the cooperative effort to slay the Black Dragon worldwide. Therefore, the main forces of the Trembling Ice Knights are not in the city right now; there are only a few resident magicians.”

Robb certainly knew this the best, so he simply nodded.

The sentinel continued, “The combat capabilities of the resident magicians are somewhat inferior to those of the expeditionary forces. They are aware of this themselves, so they act more cautiously. Currently, they’re researching a solution.”

Robb said, “So, it’s possible that this could take a long time to resolve?”

The sentinel replied, “I understand your eagerness to make money quickly while trading, but don’t risk your lives for money. When it’s time to rest, rest well.”

Robb: “…”

Behind him, the two young girls burst into giggles. One of them leaned close to Robb’s ear and whispered, “Let’s go defeat that sea monster.” She got too close, and the warm breath from her small mouth blew into Robb’s ear, making him feel strangely comfortable.

The other young girl followed suit, leaning close to his other ear, and giggled, “Give us a blessing of the king and let the two of us handle the sea monster, okay? Let us have some fun too.”

Two innocent and adorable young girls talking like this, one on each side, nibbling on his ears – who could resist that?

Robb raised his hands in surrender, “Alright, alright, alright. Go ahead, just go already! Don’t tease me like this; I can’t handle it. I must say, you two are quite different from Xuelu.”

The two young girls burst into laughter, one on each side. One of them leaned closer and said, “We won’t be like her. We won’t call you ‘darling’ while hanging from your neck.”

With that, the two young girls hopped in front of the sentinel and raised their hands, saying, “We can handle the sea monster.”

“What?” The sentinel looked puzzled. “What are you saying?”

The two young girls earnestly replied, “We can help you deal with the sea monster.”

The sentinel: “Young ladies, I understand that you’re playful at your age. My daughter is around your age and loves mischief too. But when adults are discussing serious matters, it’s best not to disrupt.”

“We really can help defeat the sea monster!” The two young girls said, “If you don’t believe us, we’ll bet ten gold coins.”

“I won’t bet.” The sentinel said, “I’m just a poor sentinel. At most, I can bet ten copper coins. Oh, wait, I won’t bet with you girls. Please don’t cause trouble just because you’re upset. It could get you killed.”
