Hellbents
Chapter 33: Sailing

Due to the disturbance last night, Ava woke up late to do her regular exercise, therefore she just did a simulation fight with all the status points added.

This basic change of her body was fortunately accompanied by an increase in her sense status points as well, so even though Ava was a little dizzy with her movements that were faster than usual, it was even more so, all of his sense tools managed to capture the information around him well. By the way, is intelligence also included in this consideration? Ava actually does not know, points for intelligence itself is still abstract use, not many books that explain it. He only knew that the points of intelligence and senses were useful for increasing his level of observation skills.

"May your journey be accompanied by a blessing from the god," Selena greeted her farewell with two clenched palms, bowing respectfully with a calm expression.

River replies by imitating Selena's movements, saying the same sentence, "May your journey be accompanied by the blessing of the gods." Seems like that's the culture here, or is this just exclusive to religious individuals?

Ezra and his entourage then appear as well. It was still half an hour left before the ship's departure. The prince wouldn't suddenly follow her again, would he?

"Good morning, Ez-I mean, sir." Seeing River suddenly speak formally, Ava also knew if River was also visited by the prince and his two servants, revealing their secrets and opportunities. But seeing that the monster tamer was still attached to Ava's side, it seemed that she also rejected the offer that Ezra had given her.

"... You can treat me like you used to, and I don't want to attract the attention of the kingdom before my army is ready." Well, Ava understood the sentiment, she would also assume if a seedling is better cut if it threatens her, too, in this case, the princess or prince who has first cultivated their credit score to fight for the throne.

By the way, the prince himself has allowed, "So, where are you going?" Ava was acting normal.

"Our goal is Berloi!" Roy replied with passion. Berloi, the kingdom to the south of the continent of Meridianam, was separated from the kingdom of Igoceolon because the other two kingdoms, Viridium and Ronik, so they never had any territorial conflicts. The friendly political atmosphere signifies the good relations between Berloi and Igoceolon. The prince has set his next target.

Good thing for Ava. "But wouldn't it be faster if you took the land route?"

"Ah, we did ride the horse carriage later."

So they went to the harbor just to say goodbye to him and River? He was a little touched.

"All passengers are aboard!" The ship's staff began to call.

Parting time.

"Hopefully whatever you want can be achieved" Ava brought a smile to the four people she was watching.

"You too" Ezra replied.

"Ready!" Roy broke the spirit.

"Miss too," still with a cold face, Al chimed in flat.

"God be with you." Ava prayed especially for Selena who seemed willing to become the prince's personal priest.

Ava and River boarded the ramps used to board the ship, then showed their tickets to the staff on duty. But not a step to set foot into the ship, River was detained. "Specifically for you, please do not call your pet monster on board, if it is an urgent situation, please attach this to their neck." An iron necklace with a basketball-like diameter was thrust into River's chest.

Ava's emotions instantly rose, how disrespectful they were to the passengers! He almost jumped, if only River a second slower in replying, "Alright, thank you."

All right, thank you?

All right, thank you?!

Ava's hands clenched, she could feel her nails getting poked in her palm. But the girl realized, if she snapped at the tambung staff, they would instead get more attention from other passengers who had given them cynical gazes.

So Ava smiled, saying thank you anyway.

But he will remember the faces of the people there.

If their roommate also put a bad preconception on River just because of the man's skill in taming monsters, Ava could have 'accidentally' mixed the paralysis poison into their drink.

"34. 34," after getting the keys from the ship's staff guarding the passageway, River muttered softly as he searched their room. Ava followed with fretful eyes even though her lips were pulled upwards with false hospitality.

"Ah, meet!" The brown wooden door swung open, revealing two bunk beds separated by drawers with still-dead sleeping lights, leaving a distance for two adults in between.

Still empty.

"I'm the top bed," Ava already claimed her place. River chuckled amusedly, his hand automatically landing on the top of the girl's head, patting her gently, "I'm downstairs then, let our roommate get the other bunk bed."

Actually Ava does not need to arrange the items in their room, considering the important stocks he keeps in the inventory, only a backpack he put in the corner of the bed containing items from his home world But River found a way to meet the inventory while carrying other items that are still a lot. Clothes, pants, hats, medicine, umbrellas, wooden dolls, books, books, books, and books.

Ava had no idea River was reading the book.

But the next gesture made Ava stop moving. The stack of books River brought he handed to the girl.

Ava doesn't understand why people always think of this man as a doom-bearer. "You can just bring one book, it doesn't need to be this much."

"But you read fast, one book will only bore you later."

Ava noticed the titles presented by River.

Geography of 7 kingdoms. History of the world volume VII. Maybe because River often saw Ava reading a book like this while accompanying her to the library to look for information when she was just thrown into this foreign dimension.

Alchemist and mana. Encyclopedia of herbs. Related to his fake profession as a Herbalist, Ava also needs to find out the ins and outs of the ingredients in the recipe in the journal Eve, maybe there are traps that he does not know.

Thumping in two hearts.

Huh huh?

It's a hot night in the spring.

Hold still.

Hugs under the moon.

Romance novels ... adults?

"River, do you know what kind of book you gave me?"

"Eh? Are there any uninteresting books? Almost all of it was recommended by the bookstore keeper," River chimed in plainly.

Ava picked up the last three books. "Do you really not know that this is a ... adult novel?"

"Adult novel ...?" At once River's face flushed. His hand reached out in panic, trying to snatch the book that was in Ava's hands.

"The bookstore keeper said yesterday that all three books are popular for women your age!" the man squealed, justifying himself.

This time Ava who chuckles amusedly.
