Chapter 18: Chu Long's Gift - The Departure of Dreams

Boom, boom, knock, knock......

Goring Island, ten days later, the dining room of the royal palace.

Two savages were squatting in bathrobes and munching on a long red and black table filled with roasted whole pigs, roasted whole lambs, roast geese, lobster platters, roasted tuna, and countless fruits. Xiao Ming squatted on the table and munched on roast pork, stuffing a bunch of grapes into his mouth while nibbling on pork, Zorro held a roast leg of lamb in his right hand, and drank a pot of wine called Oriental wine in his left hand.

"Don't worry, the two young heroes, there will be golden caviar made by our Western chef for the two of you to taste later. An attendant said next to Xiao Ming.

"King Yan has arrived!" The brown-red gate opened, and a young man in a yellow robe walked in with the support of two maids, followed by Chu Long and the rest of the royal family.

As soon as Yan Yang came in, he saw the two of them gobbling up, and there was a messy table, he had no desire to eat, but he didn't dare to make any unhappy expressions, after all, he was able to stand here alive because of these two people.

"Xiao Shaoxia, Zuo Shaoxia, don't be in such a hurry, the banquet will be held for a few days, don't break it!" Chu Long said with a smile.

"What? How many days will the banquet be held? Hahaha, I've never been so happy in my life!" Xiao Ming laughed, climbed down from the table, leaned back in his chair, his stomach swelled like a pregnant woman, and Zorro was also flushed from drinking, and he was still pouring wine into his stomach.

"Zuo Shaoxia, Xiao Shaoxia, can you suspend the meal first, and let the old man explain something about the capable person to you?" Chu Long said softly.

Zorro turned his head all of a sudden, his eyes were fixed on Chu Long, and the atmosphere on the field dropped to zero for a while, only Xiao Ming continued to eat and drink like a nobody.

"Hey, Xiao Ming, you can stop, Uncle Chu is going to talk to us about serious things, this is not only related to me, but also inseparable from you, don't you still want to break through the blue ocean?" Zorro said loudly.

Chu Long raised his head and signaled, and the two attendants opened a secret door in the hall, "Follow me!" Chu Long walked in.

"Hey, old man Chu, what are you going to say, I'm still waiting to eat golden caviar!" Xiao Ming sat on a stone chair, jumping up and down like a monkey. Zorro gave him a helpless look.

"Old man, I am also approaching sixty years this year, and when I was young, I went to sea with King Yan, who had not yet succeeded to the throne, and I can't forget that experience to this day. Chu Long sighed, "Zuo Shaoxia, have you ever seen someone with wings who can fly in the air, or someone who can release flames at will, or someone whose body can change at will?"

"I haven't seen it, but I've seen people who can conjure objects or even living things with their minds. Zorro looked at Xiao Ming with bad intentions.

"I've seen a guy who is cold all over his body! I don't need to soak in water in the summer, just stand next to him. Not to be outdone, Xiao Ming fought back. Chu Long smiled helplessly when he saw these two people 'fighting' in the fight.

"Actually, what you see are all capable people, in the eyes of us ordinary humans, they are all monsters, of course, you are too. Chu Long said with a smile.

"As you experienced in the previous two days, this world is definitely not only ordinary humans like me, there must be many monsters in the vast blue sea, and if you want to continue the adventure, you will definitely encounter monsters that are even more ferocious than this time, do you dare?" Chu Long stared at the two.

"If you don't dare, whoever stands in my way will cut whom. Zorro said calmly.

"It's okay, it's okay, Zorro has helped me cut people, and with such a strong partner, I can think about life while taking risks. Xiao Ming smiled heartlessly.

"Well, since the two young heroes have such a firm determination, then the old man will do my best to tell you the world I know!" Chu Long said in a deep voice.

"Old man Chu, no need, I won't be afraid of any powerful monster, because my dream is to travel around the world and be the freest man, so no matter how strong the enemy I will encounter in the future, I will not escape!" Xiao Ming said to Chu Long, and picked his hair that had not been washed for a long time.

"Yes, although traveling around the world is not my dream, but in order to be able to challenge all the strong people in this world and become the strongest swordsman, I am still very willing to go out with Xiao Ming, as for your adventure experience, you should save it for your grandson to tell stories, we don't want to become cringe after learning what can and cannot be done, we want to be the freest man on the sea!" Zorro said coolly.

"Well, since the two young heroes have firmly established their belief in taking risks, then I have no choice but to bless you, although you don't need my experience, I have something else to give you, please follow me to the port. Chu Long said in a deep voice, thinking that he would soon be separated from these two young heroes who had the grace to save his life, his mood became extremely heavy, but he also knew that he couldn't keep these two men who dreamed of freedom, so he didn't say anything.

Chu Long led Xiao Ming and Zorro to the port, where a small brand new sailboat was parked, with beige paint and two orange trees planted in the center.

"I call it the Jiaolong, and it's a nice ship. I was going to use it for your old age, but now I have given it to you, and I have asked someone on board to load you with enough food and fruit, and drinking water, enough for you to sail at sea for three months. I'm afraid you'll be bored, so I've prepared a fishing rod for each of you to fish. I also loaded some black oil and coal, I don't know if you can cook, so I bring cooked food, to be honest, I can really be a good housekeeper. Chu Long said with a whimper, turning his head to remove the mask and wipe away his tears.

"Old man Chu, you are such a good person!" Xiao Ming hugged Chu Long, dancing excitedly, Zorro didn't say anything when he saw this, just went up and hugged Chu Long.

"That's it, go to the sea, don't look back, and bravely chase the footsteps of freedom!" Chu Long's tears fell.
