Chapter 34

The people inside the inn never thought they would see that. A random youth going toe to toe against the famous Captain Claridge. If they weren’t present and heard such a rumor, they would think it was only but a fairy tale.

“Impressive, kid.”

He did not think Arthur would defend his punch, but Claridge prepared another one right after. Claridge vanished from his chair and appeared behind Arthur, sending yet another punch.

Everything happened so fast no one else inside the inn saw a thing, but Arthur was well aware of Claridge’s every move. Just as the punch would hit the back of Arthur’s head, he vanished.

Arthur was the one behind Claridge now, but instead of a punch, he used his leg to kick Claridge’s leg, making him stumble.

Some people present wanted to laugh at the scene. The mighty Captain Claridge hit his face on the ground. No one had the guts to do that, though.

“What the fuck?”

Claridge could not believe what had happened. He got up and stared at Arthur. Contrary to all thoughts, it did not piss him. The treasure hunt needed powerful people, and the rest did not matter.

“I’ll be glad to have you on my crew, even if it’s temporary. We will leave tomorrow, so prepare yourself. Meet me at the port at dawn.”

He left after saying those words. Arthur returned to his table and sat as if nothing had happened. No one else inside the inn came to talk with him. They were too scared and could only stare at the distance.

.

Arthur would look at them from time to time, and they instantly avoided his gaze. It was not worth to piss off someone strong and end up dead.

“Boss, that was awesome. I knew you would win.” Kai said.

Kai said that, but he barely saw the fight. It was too fast for him, and that only increased his desire to grow stronger. He had a powerful master, so all he had to do was work hard, and pray luck stays on his side.

The crew of the treasure hunt would leave the next morning. Arthur would have barely any time to prepare. Hell, he did not even know where that island was, so how could he come up with a plan, anyway?

There was still one thing he could do, and it was a thing he missed.

“You stay here in the room and rest. I’ll look around for more clues, all right? Sully will be here too, so everything should be okay.”

Arthur rented a room in the inn for them to stay the night, but he left to do other really important things.

“Welcome, honey!” a hot-looking woman said. She wore tight clothing, showing off her big boobs.

The place Arthur went to was a strip club. It was impossible for him to get any decent information within a day, so he might just have fun before the trip.

“The fee is one silver coin.”

Arthur tossed the coin and entered inside without wasting time. The place was not as empty as he had thought. It was afternoon and people were already there to have fun.

Naked women dancing, lots of tables to sit and watch, and of course, beer and some substances Arthur did not know about. It looked exactly as Arthur had pictured it.

A woman passed by Arthur and said, “Do you want some fun?” She grabbed his arm and led him to a separate room with just the two of them. The woman thought a youth like Arthur would be an easy prey on the bed, but she was mistaken.

“Ahhhh!”

She had never fucked like that. Arthur made her feel things she never did, and that was only the beginning. Her perfect body moved, twerking on Arthur’s dick. The cowgirl position, one that Arthur loved.

He grabbed her rounded big boobs and squeezed them. Arthur’s dick went in and out with ease, as the pussy was really wet. They kept going until one of them had lost all of its stamina, and it wasn’t Arthur.

The stamina he had before was already impressive, but now that he was a dragon? He could keep going all day, and that was what he did. After giving pleasure to one girl, he would call the next, and the next, and the next…

A bright full moon in the sky gave light to the dark streets of Crila. After fucking for hours, it was time to get back to the inn room. Arthur walked leisurely, looking at the moon and the stars. On the way, he wondered if he should tell Kai the truth about what he was doing.

“I don’t think so. This is only for adults, that’s right. What would Kai think of his master if he got to know that?” thought Arthur.

The inn was more crowded at night than it was at lunch. Differently from the lunch time were people only drank a few beers, now at night everyone was drunk.

Some people who were inside gazed at Arthur as soon as he walked in. Rumors about him spread quickly through Crila, and people got to know him.

Arthur noticed these gazes, but he did not pay attention. He walked upstairs to his room. Kai sat at the table with two bowls of soup.

“Who’s there?” Kai heard the door opening, and got scared for a second, but it was only Arthur.

“Ah, it’s you boss. Sit, I bought us dinner already.”

“A soup? Nice, I love that.”

“So, how did it go? Did you find any news?”

“Sadly, no. But don’t think too much of it. Claridge will probably give us the information we need tomorrow morning.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Kai said.

Arthur was feeling guilt of lying to him, but it was for the best. They chatted and ate the soup until late at night. The room had two small beds, so Arthur and Kai did not have to sleep together.

Sully slept beside Arthur. He was on his tiny form, and he had left the room a few hours ago to hunt for something to eat. So, he was okay.

~~~~

Morning came, and Arthur and Kai had to leave to meet with Claridge. It would be a dangerous place for Kai, but the safest place for him was besides Arthur and Sully.

He did not know if Claridge would allow him to bring another person, but if he did not, then Arthur would just beat his ass again until he says yes.

They had packed up all of their stuff, which was almost nothing, the prior night. So, after stopping to get a quick bite downstairs in the inn, they left towards the port of Crila.

The port of Crila was not far. It took them 10 minutes of walking to get there. Lots of ships were there, but it was easy to find Claridge. He stood in front of a ship, and at least other twenty people gathered there. These were probably the people who would ride along on the treasure hunt.

Arthur scanned each one of them, and saw that they varied between level 15-23. It was not high, but it was not low either. All of them used different weapons and presumably had distinct elements and spells.

“Oh, it’s you.” Claridge said. He quickly noticed Arthur’s arrival, as Arthur had been the only person he hired that was stronger than him.

“Hey, how is it going, old man? Also, how much will you pay me for my service? You explained little.”

“Right. Now that everyone is here, then I’ll say to you all.”

“I’ll pay each one of you 2 gold coins for the trouble of going with me. You’ll be all facing danger in there, so it is fair for you to get some sort of payment,”

“But, as you can see, 2 gold coins are not an enormous sum. For that reason, we all agreed that whoever finds treasures in there can keep them. Whoever gets their hands first in the treasure haves it.”

The people who were there for the treasure hunt exclaimed in ecstasy. It was on good terms, but Arthur thought otherwise.

“This thing will turn into a battle royale for the treasures. Now not only beasts there but also greed humans trying to get their hands on the treasures. I’ll not allow it. All treasures belong to the dragon right here, hehe he.”

After they spoke more about how the mission would happen, all of them hoped inside the ship. Kai went along, and Claridge did not say a thing, but he only paid 2 gold coins for Arthur, who would help in there, and not to Kai.

“Don’t worry, my disciple. I’ll buy you good stuff with this money, just like we did with yours.”

Sully hid inside Arthur’s pockets, and no one inside the ship noticed his presence. Claridge cut the ropes who tied up the ship to the port, and they left.

A dangerous island with many treasures waited them.
