Chapter 137 Rushing
After the adventurers brought several children on the transport ship, the young man in light armor had a private conversation with them and finally believed what the captives said.

After the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious, Roland didn't bother to care about how they negotiated next and returned to the room with Hela.

"What do you think?"

Roland sat at the table and asked Hela, who seemed to be thinking about something.

"Well"

Hela thought for a while and said hesitantly.

"The importance of communication? If the prisoner had not said nothing but chosen to explain, perhaps there wouldn't be so many problems?"

"And I have to be strong enough to suppress everyone, so that they will listen to me obediently."

Roland looked at her with some surprise and said.

"Yeah, that's right. Your mouth is for talking. If you don't say anything, how can others know what you are doing?"

"Besides, the Tower of Truth is the place with the highest average quality in the Silver Empire. But even there, you have encountered some unreasonable idiots. And outside, there are even more stupid and bad guys."

"If you meet someone who doesn't understand what you're saying, don't waste your breath trying to reason with him. Just beat him up first."

"I teach you the truth so that you can reason with idiots calmly, and I train you so that idiots can reason with you calmly."

Hela nodded obediently.

Because Roland demonstrated his strength, the crew of the entire merchant ship became more respectful to the two men.

As for the adventurers, after explaining the mistake, the garrison soldiers let them go. However, the captives were not released. They were simply taken out of the cage and placed under house arrest in a room.

Roland didn't bother to care about what agreement they had reached and just pretended nothing had happened.

The sailing for the next few days went smoothly. Except for encountering a group of rookie pirates who were sunk by elemental cannons within two minutes of approaching, there were no ups and downs or waves.

On a sunny noon, the disguised merchant ship, like other merchant ships, quietly docked in the busy port.

Several sailors on the edge of the merchant ship waved to the approaching port workers and shouted at them.

"No stock, don't come over here."

While the sailors were driving away the port workers who were approaching, Roland and Hela also left the merchant ship directly.

Not long after Roland and Hela left, a small team of sailors on the merchant ship also ran over in a hurry. He looked around, patted the sailor leaning against the edge of the boat, and asked.

"Have you seen the two people on the boat?"

"Which two?"

The sailor who was questioned scratched his head, but he quickly reacted and continued.

"Oh, are you talking about those two wizards? They just got off the boat."

"Ah? Have you gotten off the boat yet?"

The captain slapped his head and said with some regret, then he glared at the sailor and cursed.

“I don’t know how to stop it.”

"Ah? Is it true that I stopped the wizard?" The sailor was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself with his right finger, and said hesitantly.

He was just an ordinary person. Even though he had been trained and his physical fitness was slightly better than that of ordinary people, if he really went forward to intercept, he might be killed by a fireball.

The captain also knew that it was a complete dream to ask the sailors to stop the extraordinary people, and he himself didn't even dare to go up.

So, he was just speaking casually. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he did not listen to the sailor's answer, but turned around and ran back to the merchant ship.

Because of the robes they were wearing, almost everyone in the port would step aside and make way.

Therefore, after leaving the merchant ship, Roland and Hela also left the port smoothly and quickly.

Standing outside the port, Roland glanced at the sign next to the port exit, then looked at the map in his hand to confirm that he had not come to the wrong place.

Roland's right hand moved upward from a black dot city on the map. After passing by a dozen black dots of different sizes, he stopped at the largest black dot. Next to this large black dot, there was a string of characters written in the common language of mankind: Ginza.

After reconfirming the route, Roland looked at Hela beside him and asked.

"Are you tired? Should we rest here for a night or continue on our journey?"

Hela shook her head and whispered in response.

"I'm not tired. I can continue on my way."

Roland looked at her and confirmed that she did not look tired before putting away the map.

The two then bought two horses in the port town and continued riding north.

Since Hela has been promoted to the fourth ring, she has entered a period of expansion of her extraordinary combat power and needs to settle down.

In order to continue to advance, in addition to conventional knowledge and resources, you also need to spend time to accumulate experience and have a firm will.

Although the disintegration of the soul's protective membrane frees the caster's soul from its constraints and provides it with more room for growth, it also means that the caster's soul loses protection.

In the past, under the effect of the protective film, no matter how the caster's soul strengthened itself, the overall structure would still remain in the form of a human.

After losing the protective film, the humanoid soul turns into a soul ocean, and the caster can only rely on his own will to control and lock his soul ocean.

However, this is not a mandatory requirement. If you simply give up, it is not impossible to give up control and lock in at the cost of a significant decline in strength and loss of the possibility of promotion.

This is because every promotion after the fourth level is a challenge to the soul ocean. The caster needs to have enough willpower to fight against the huge waves and storms caused by the soul ocean during promotion. Moreover, in the process of confrontation, the stronger the soul, the greater the test of will.

As for weakening the soul and reducing the intensity of the test in order to skip classes, that is also impossible. After all, if the soul strength is not high, it will not meet the promotion requirements.

Therefore, in order to train Hela's will, Roland did not take a carriage to avoid most towns and villages as he did before.

If Hela continued to study quietly in the carriage as before, she would not be able to exercise her will.

Therefore, on this trip to Ginza, Roland chose to travel like an ordinary adventurer, mainly by walking, riding a horse, or taking a car or boat.

As the sun slowly set, Roland rode his horse up a small hill.

Under the setting sun, he saw a small village in the distance. Looking at the small village in the distance, Roland looked at Hela beside him and pointed at the village.

"Tonight, do you want to go over there and ask for a place to stay?"
