Luckily the factions that were battling it above them didn’t care about theeveryone they headed towards land and the forest area in the distance Their aie where the Abyssal Cult’s relic was hidden Soon enough the distance increased and the only thing the party of people could complain about was that they were now all wet

Finally, it was over Thevessels were now a s monsters appeared they were far away from their current location as they had ion Yet not every shi+p had made it out in one piece, they could see that so in the distance

“I can’t…”

Roland dropped down to one knee while holding his head, during the escape, he pushed histo really get a raine that if he continued would cause hie”

Isabela showed up to deliver a smack to his metal back that probably hurt her more than hihing while holding the hand she smacked him with The other sailors around with the two sisters burst out laughing in unison as if this was a nor to join the others?”

“No, I'm fine here, I need to do some repairs”

“Is that so…”

A so filled with so at Roland He was in the process of fixing so the battles with the monsters A day had already passed since they left the city of Reeka and everyone was taking it easy

Not far away there was the sound of cheering andaround with both of Isabela’s sisters and having a good old tier had passed Roland could not relax, instead of partying with the others, he decided to work on his gear

After going through this whole predica style His overreliance on spells was one of the proble the choice of weapons, the sword and shi+eld weren’t used as ical staff After soht of a replacement that would fit his frame more

“Common, relax for aa coht? For all her size she drinks like an old gno to the side he noticed the passed-out barbarian wo all over the place while challenging Senna to another drinking competition Of course, she lost the new bet and was a few coins behind once e the port they were going to Roland wasn’t sure if it was because of hiet out at the city he arrived in all those years ago, the captain hu her life or scared of his spell-slinging capabilities Thanks to this change he would arrive home sooner than he expected

“Don’t be a stick in theacquaintance would take no for an answer She was quick to pull out a fresh bottle of rum that was probably acquired in some shi+fty ways The bottle was thrown his way so he was forced to stop and catch it

“Hm…”

It took hiive in His ar on this shi+p was less than optimal After the cork was popped open with the help of his thu The alcohol filled his throat and started burning it, the sensation quickly subsided as his various skills took effect

“Yeah, that’s better!”

Senna cheered out and her lass bottle that he was holding Roland tried re alcohol and started recalling the party of three he encountered when he was about ten years of age

“So, what are your plans for the future? We haven’t had the tirade Me and the boys are probably going to check it out”

“Oh? Are you going to stay in Albrook?”

“Ye, that’s the plan, think we can get ourselves up to the gold rank there, that idiot ht also join us…”

That idiot was the passed-out Grisalde While she was over-leveled for being their party ainst the tier 2 fire roup would cause theain experience slower due to a her than the rest

“You’re also froht? Can I count on you to show us around?’

She s that was not eon would be a perfect training ground for adventurers below the golden rank Theoverly easy or overly hard to combat

“Ah… sure”

Roland felt like he was sca as he just blurted out the answer before thinking much about it He wasn’t really sure what tobut he did not dislike her or the other three froot space fer a third?”

“Hey cap’n, co competition with Wayland!”

“No, eren’t…”

“Can nah 'ave a drinkin' competition withoutlike a drunkard So were drawn to the voice of their captain Soon enough they were all cheering and chanting as the drinking commenced

‘Why did this end up like this…’

“Drink, drink, DRINK!”

Roland looked at the glass filled with alcohol and quickly tossed it down his throat His competitors were red in their faces while he only had soht as the two had already been drinking beforehand but even with that, he was starting to zone out

He had gained resistance to alcohol but even he had a lih their life drinking wine and rue Thus the night of partying ended with hi out at one point in tiht on his face

“Ugh?”

When pushi+ng it down he realized that it was so to push it away he was surprised by the alluringsounds Soon he realized that the captain had passed out on top of hilad Elodia isn’t here’

He wanted to laugh while placing the passed-out wo in strange positions while the other half continued to tend to the shi+p In a few days they would arrive at their destination and then finally this little adventure that turned out to be a disaster would come to an end
