Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

In fact, there are quite a few people in the queue who think this way. Many people feel very uncomfortable seeing Luo Xiu, who was once similar to them, now completely surpass them, and they want to use this Golden Apple Garden to catch up.

Because of the existence of [Judgment], Luo Xiu saw all the changes in everyone's hearts, but he just laughed it off.

He desperately wanted someone in his team to rise to prominence in this Golden Apple Garden, ideally defying fate and achieving the seventh rank, giving Dorant a much-needed breather.

His mind was now completely focused on monsters and the legendary "Demon Race," and he didn't care much about these other things.

"Now that everyone's here, let's set off."

Luo Xiu placed his hand on the teleportation array, and his demonic power surged within him. The originally dim array suddenly lit up, and as it slowly rotated, a vast spatial power instantly enveloped the area.

Luo Xiu felt everything around him become blurry, as if it were being blurred and turned into mosaic-like lines. Then, the next second, his vision blurred and he heard the sound of crashing waves.

A faint, salty smell filled his nostrils, and images of azure seas, blue skies, and sandy beaches automatically appeared in his mind.

Slowly opening his eyes, the dazzling sunlight entered his vision. This was indeed a vast and boundless sea, but it was completely different from the ocean in Luo Xiu's memory.

White waves, azure sea, and a gentle sea breeze—they stood atop a massive stone pavilion in the sea. Everything seemed perfectly normal, but the surrounding sea was covered with clumps of tumbleweed stretching as far as the eye could see, swaying and rolling in the sea breeze.

These tumbleweeds are all as big as houses, with hollow centers, as if people exist inside.

Most of these people had dark skin, wore canvas headscarves, short-sleeved shirts and shorts, straw sandals, and fish baskets beside them.

Upon seeing Luo Xiu and his group arrive, their eyes lit up, and they all controlled their tumbleweeds to approach the huge stone pavilion where Luo Xiu and the others were, shouting:

"Fresh salmon, fresh salmon, bosses!"

"Marlin! Marlin for sale! Only 10 silver, a whole marlin!"

"Big brothers and sisters, let's buy a fish. My mom just caught a red fish today."

There was even a child who was only a teenager. Luo Xiu looked at the fish basket next to the child and found that the fish were indeed of good quality, all of them lively and jumping around.

After being politely refused by Luo Xiu, the child wasn't annoyed. He grinned, revealing his bright white teeth.

"Then come again next time you have time, big brother."

Luo Xiu was infected by the smile and responded with a smile in return:

"it is good."

The people here seemed to be very good at business, and they were all friendly and smiling. Even though Luo Xiu and his group said they were not traveling merchants or fishmongers, they were not disappointed. Instead, they stood in the tumbleweeds and introduced Luowangpu to Luo Xiu and his group.

"This is the Windy Sea. We are just small fishermen or odd jobs. The rich people take the ferry. You must be going there, right?"

"First time here? Welcome to Rovanpuha. We hope you will patronize our business in the future."

"How about I give you a few fish? It's alright, take them, consider them for the kids. You all probably have children, right? Try them, they're really delicious..."

Apart from Luo Xiu and Leila, the rest of the group were generally in a stable mood. After all, they were top-tier nobles, and their attitude towards the commoners in front of them was certainly not very good, if not terrible.

However, Hup, who had come along, was very excited, standing on the stone pavilion and opening his arms to embrace the warm sea breeze:

"This is my hometown! I'm back!!!"

He had been depressed since yesterday because his own unit had been imprisoned by Luo Xiu. He wanted to plead with Luo Xiu, but he was also angry at the attitude of the people in the unit. So, in his dilemma, he simply ran into Hathaway's room and completely let himself go.

It wasn't until he came to this ancestral homeland today that he was healed by the sight of the ocean before him, and the knot in his heart was untied.

"You really are from Rovanpu. I thought you were lying to me when we met."

Luo Xiu recalled the scene when he met with Xiu Pu. At that time, Xiu Pu had said that the residents of Luowangpu all liked to have the character "Pu" in their names.

In the Dorrant language, "P" means ocean.

"Yes, brother, this is where my father was born."

Shoep was very excited:

"But this is my first time here. My father has never been back since I was born. I ran away this time, and besides Kanriel, I just wanted to come and see this place."

"It's exactly as I imagined, much more spectacular than the painting in my living room."

Luo Xiu nodded and gazed into the distance. At the horizon where the sea meets the sky, white mist rose up, and sunlight refracted through it, revealing a garden surrounded by a tall fence, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

"That should be the Golden Apple Orchard."

As Luo Xiu was thinking, he suddenly caught sight of a huge ferry approaching from a distance. It was moving very fast and quickly grew to several times its original size, closing in on the area where the tumbleweed was located.

The people in the tumbleweeds manipulated them to avoid the ferry, which was like a means of transportation to them and they were already skilled at using it in their daily lives. However, the speed of retreat was limited, and some people could not avoid it in time. Their tumbleweeds were directly hit by the huge ferry and were thrown into the sky in the towering waves.

Luo Xiu frowned as he watched this scene. He thought of his teacher. Could it be that the reason his teacher stayed in Kanriel was because everything outside Kanriel was the same?

But soon, he saw people disembark and maneuver their small boats toward the residents who were dazed and soaked from the impact, offering them compensation and condolences.

Immediately afterwards, a dispute seemed to have broken out on the ferry, with the sound of two people arguing coming from some distance. Although they were still some distance away, Luo Xiu could hear it very clearly.

"Novanp, they are just a poor group of residents who make a living by fishing. Why are you making fun of them?"

"Here we go again, you old hag, always making a fuss. I'm just having some fun. Does it hurt them? We work so hard to protect them every day, what's a little fun compared to that? Without us, they would have died in the demonic tide long ago."

"That won't do either. So your idea of ​​having fun is to torment these poor people? I'm speechless. I'm starting to regret letting you steer the ship."

"Alright, alright, stop nagging, Neptune. There are so many people on the ship, they're not here to watch us argue."

It seemed that the words "there are so many people on the ship" had an effect, because the woman named Neptune really didn't say anything more.

The argument stopped.

The ferry slowly approached the stone pavilion and finally stopped. Luo Xiu observed the ferry; its hull, painted red, was reinforced with magic arrays, and its power source was also a giant magic-integrated array.

Two wide, sloping stairs extended down from one side of the ship, and a man and a woman walked down them.

The woman wore a merchant's robe, its style high-end and elegant, charming yet tasteful. Although it was predominantly white in a cool tone, it gave off a sense of approachability.

The man was wearing armor, but unlike the silver-white armor of the Bandanda and Kanriel Knights, it seemed to be made of crystal, and was a deep blue and translucent.

"Welcome, gentlemen. My name is Nipp, and I come from the Rovanp Adventurers' Academy to guide you to the central shore area for rest."

"We received the energy fluctuations transmitted from Kanriel and rushed here immediately, but we are still a step too late. Please forgive us."

The woman named Nip had a melodious and gentle voice, and spoke in a generous and appropriate manner, making people feel as if a warm ocean current was blowing on their face.

"I am Novanpu. Which one of you is the newly appointed deputy commander?"

Novamp spoke more casually, his eyes scanning over Luo Xiu and his group before he frowned.

Because Luo Xiu and his group all looked too young.

Until the basil opened:

"I'm."

He looked at the basil, his eyes widening, and then burst into laughter:

"Where did this little girl come from, joking around like this? Is she one of your kids?"

Basil has always had a bad temper, but he didn't lash out at this moment. Instead, he threw a punch at the surrounding sea from a distance. The air exploded, and a large area of ​​seawater was blasted dry, revealing a hole and creating a huge wave hundreds of feet high.

Novamp stopped laughing and looked at Basil seriously. His previously mocking gaze hardened, as if he were assessing Basil's true age.

Finally, a smile returned to his face:

"Not bad, but with Kanriel's commander here, he's only barely qualified."

"Our Knights of Rovanpu don't accept cowards or weaklings. If you have any skills, you'd better show them to others, otherwise don't blame others for laughing at you."

His words implied that he was absolving himself of responsibility and not believing that he was wrong to mock basil first.

Neptune frowned, about to say something.

Luo Xiu's voice rang out among the crowd:

"I'm also participating in the Knights' Order this time, sir. Do I need to demonstrate?"

Novamp looked toward the direction of the sound and saw Luo Xiu raising his hand with a gentle smile.

Chapter 218 Is it an old friend who has come?

Novamp frowned as he looked at the blond man with a smile as warm as sunshine.

"The information we received this time is that they will only accept the Grand Master of the Knights of Kanriel; we haven't heard of anyone else being accepted."

"I brought him along on my own initiative."

Basil spoke softly, her golden-white hair gleaming in the sunlight:

"As the vice-commander of the Knights, I believe I should have the authority to make decisions about my subordinates; this is a consensus within the Knights of Dorant."

Novamp laughed upon hearing this, and scoffed:

"I didn't expect that he would put on such a big show even though he hasn't been an official for a single day."

"But I'm sorry, as I said, our Knights of Rauwanpu don't accept just any lousy fish. As for you saying you'll be the future vice-captain, let's talk about that after you actually take office, hehe."

After these words were spoken, Neptune, who was standing to the side, did not know what to say. After all, this was an internal matter of the Knights, and as a member of the academy, she should not interfere.

But anyone could tell that Novamp was deliberately making things difficult for Role and trying to give Role a hard time. Roxiu was just someone who happened to step forward and was casually used as a tool to humiliate Role.

Basil clenched her small hands into fists, her fingers turning slightly purple.

But Luo Xiu, standing beside her, patted her on the shoulder and smiled, indicating that he would handle it.

He looked at Novamp across from him:

"Sir, does that mean I just need to prove that I'm not a worthless nobody?"

Novamp grinned:

"Of course, but how can rotten fish and shrimp prove that they are not rotten fish and shrimp?"

After mocking Luo Xiu, he realized something was wrong.

For some reason, the way the group of people opposite him looked at him suddenly changed. The indifference of most of them turned into a look of anticipation, pity, or excitement.

What was going on? Before he could react, Luo Xiu, sitting opposite him, placed his right hand on his left shoulder and bowed to him.

"Then please allow me to challenge you."

???

Not to mention Novamp, even Nipp was stunned. She looked at Luo Xiu and realized that no matter how you looked at it, Luo Xiu was no more than 30 years old. Even if Luo Xiu was in his early 30s, what level could he have reached that he dared to challenge Novamp?

It's important to know that Novanpu is no small fry. Those who have reached the position of vice-commander in the Knights of Rovanpu are all figures who have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood from monsters. Their combat experience and ruthlessness are extraordinary.

Could this young man be a peerless genius that Kanriel has recently nurtured, who has already reached the fifth rank at around 30 years old?
