In the evening, the clouds on the horizon made the scene look like it was on fire.
The red sun between the sky and the sea slowly sank into the sea.
The sound of ding ding dong dong bells came from the port pier, and some seabirds accompanied the small wooden boat to the port, probably hoping to catch a few small fish from the fish hold.
Jasper asked for leave from High Priest Reed and left Liberty Goddess Temple early.
When Roy walked out of the temple gate, Jasper was waiting for him at the corner of the street. Roy ran over, and Jasper walked with him towards the port pier.
The fish market not far away was almost empty of fish. A few seabirds landed in front of a garbage basket and pecked at the smelly offal inside.
There was a strong smell of sea fish floating on the pier.
In the deep water dock area, some crew members left the dock in small groups and moved towards the downtown area where the lights were gradually lighting up.
In addition to buying wine, you can also harvest other things there.
Of course, if you want to have an unforgettable night, you must have kohler in your pocket.
…
Seabirds, sunset.
On the harbor pier, a huge five-masted ship was docked.
Two sailors stood under the sampan of the seagoing ship, a second mate and an ordinary seaman. They saw Jasper and Roy walking along the pier and hurriedly greeted them.
Jasper saw the bald second officer and said hello.
"Has the introducer made it clear to you what exactly you are going to do on the ship?" the second mate asked, squinting his eyes.
He is really strong, with bulging muscles all over his body. He wears a tight-fitting vest with cut sleeves, a pair of lantern-leg trousers, a pair of big rusty feet, and a machete hanging on his waist. and a bundle of rope.
When he turned around, Roy saw a large anchor from Azure tattooed on the back of his neck and skull.
Jasper nodeded.
The ordinary crew member on the side also wore a long knife, a black turban on his head, leather armor and leather pants, with a full beard on his face, making it almost impossible to see his facial features clearly.
Roy even smelled the smell of blood coming from the long knife...
The second officer said to Jasper: "Then don't waste time and try to end it as soon as possible."
Then he turned around and stepped on the sampan to board the boat, with Jasper and Roy following behind, and the sailor at the end.
After walking along the trembling sampan onto the ship, Roy realized that the ship was really big.
The length of the deck alone is nearly forty meters, and there is a dark ship building behind it full of small windows.
The huge copper horn in front turned out to be a bust of a giant with its arms spread out and its head raised, but there was a sharp copper horn more than three meters long on the top of the giant's head.
On the back of the giant bronze statue was a mast that stretched out diagonally. There was a triangular sail hanging on this fifteen-meter-long black wooden mast.
There are also five masts, some of which are more than 20 meters high, arranged on the deck in the middle of the hull. Each mast is about seven or eight meters apart. Thick sails are tied to the bottom of the mast and the horizontal mast, and there are hanging sails on it. Some slings with pulleys attached.
The deck at the back suddenly rose upward, which was about two stories high. This part was the ship's building, and on the top of the ship's building was the captain's cab.
There are also double-layered rowing windows on both sides of the hull, but at this time the oars have been completely retracted.
The black ship looked a bit old, but when Roy walked onto the ship, he discovered that the black color was because the wooden boards on the ship had been treated with anti-corrosion and fire protection.
A group of crew members were sitting around the deck having dinner. Almost all of them were naked and wearing light leather armor, with long knives hanging on their waists, daggers tied to their legs, and bare feet. Some even had long knives on their ankles. There was some moss on them, and apart from their messy long hair that could be tied into braids, the crew members had bald heads.
Their dinner was pretty good, including a grilled sea fish, octopus feet skewered on wooden sticks, a large bowl of vegetable soup, and some whole-wheat bread as their staple food. There was also some fruit in a large wooden barrel in the middle of the deck, which looked like a The huge bucket of plums makes Roy's teeth feel sore just looking at it.
The crew saw Jasper and Roy walking up to the deck, and those eyes kept passing over them...
They didn't cover up their voices when telling jokes, but they were not speaking in Elf, and Roy simply couldn't understand them.
On the other hand, the second mate who looked like a black tower spoke ELF with a weird accent, but Roy could at least understand him.
On this sea ship, Roy did not see the captain or the first mate on the ship.
Jasper just said that the brawny man was the second mate on the ship. The second mate took Jasper and Roy across the deck and took them directly to the captain's cabin at the highest point of the back building.
This is the highest place on the entire ship. The entire floor is the captain's cabin. Although it is divided into several rooms, each room is very spacious and the furnishings inside are also very exquisite. The furniture is extremely exquisite, and all seats The surface of the chair is engraved with some fine reliefs.
The place where Roy and Jasper were located should be the captain's usual office. There was a table in the middle of the room. On the table was a two-meter by two-meter chart. Roy could tell at a glance that the chart was The Sea Territory shown above should be the Endless Sea, because Castletown Port is in the most remote upper right corner of the chart.
Unfortunately, all the languages marked above are extremely unfamiliar to Roy, and he simply cannot understand what is written above...
A single-tube telescope was hung on the wall nearby. Only then did Roy notice the walls of the room. There were various specimens hanging on the walls, including simple skeletons, teeth, and horns. Each specimen was They all seem to have some special powers.
"There is a ghost causing trouble in this room. Help me find it and purify it."
The second officer was sitting on a set of leather sofas in the room, with his hands on the back of the sofa, his head raised and his eyes closed as he spoke.
The ordinary crew member stood at the door of the room, never looking away from Roy and Jasper.
Jasper glanced at Roy, suddenly thought of something, and said to Roy:
"Roy, didn't you learn the 'Glimmer Illumination Spell'? You can try it now. I'll tell you how to use this divine technique..."
"It can not only provide us with light. In addition to having a weak healing ability, it can also illuminate hidden units hidden in the darkness, including ghosts."
Roy did not hesitate and immediately started drawing divine runes and reciting prayers.
"Roy, if you have the opportunity to buy a magic book like mine in the future, you can record the commonly used divine runes in it. My book records the divine runes of two divine techniques. You can usually use these two divine techniques. When the time comes, you only need to inject Holy Light Power into it and recite the prayer, which is very convenient."
Jasper waited for a glimmer of light to appear above Roy's head before speaking to him.
Roy nodded.
High Priest Reed was opposed to his early contact with this kind of magic book, and he didn't have that many kohlers. This thing was not expensive.
A glimmer of light floated on Roy's shoulder, exuding weak and soft golden rays of light.
"You can just walk around the room..." Jasper said to Roy.
Roy followed Jasper's instructions and started walking around the room with this shimmering light, while Jasper followed Roy with a magic book in hand, watching everyone around cautiously.
The shimmering light was floating around Roy, like holding a candle at night.
There were roars of laughter from the crew outside the cabin. They were probably doing some post-meal exercises on the deck...
The room in the captain's cabin seemed very quiet, except for the occasional conversation between Jasper and Roy.
According to Jasper's request, Roy walked around the captain's cabin eight times without stopping, but still didn't sense the ghost hiding in the dark.
Roy can't help but feel that this kind of work is a bit boring!
Jasper was also a little speechless. He didn't expect to find the ghost after searching for so long, so he had to say to Roy:
"Roy, please turn up the brightness of the shimmer a little bit."
"oh!"
Roy raised his hand, held the floating shimmer in his palm, and injected a bit of Holy Light Power from his palm to make the light group brighter.
The illuminated area was larger than before. When Roy walked to the second window on the left side of the captain's cabin, he found a silhouette behind a white gauze curtain. The silhouette only had a very dim upper body. There is a state of complete nothingness below.
Jasper, who was following Roy, also saw the silhouette. He immediately pushed Roy from behind and motioned for him to come closer.
didn't expect that ghost jumped out from behind the curtain alertly. Under the sacred dim light, its outline was extremely dim. The brightest part of its head was its eyes that were shining with dim-blue flames. It moved towards Roy baring fangs and brandishing claws pounce.
Just under the divine dim light, the body became darker, so that it flew to the left halfway through, preparing to find a dark place to hide.
simply don't dare to get close to Roy…
Jasper saw this ghost and saw that it was not offensive at all. If he wanted to escape, it would be more difficult to find it.
Jasper unfolded the magic book in his hand, and as he uttered a short and smooth prayer, a beam of light shot down from the ceiling, trapping the ghost within it with great accuracy.
Under the illumination of the holy light, the ghost's body began to drift away like blue smoke, and the originally unclear outline quickly became lighter.
That group of Soul Fire is like a candle in the wind, and will be extinguished at any time.
It was bound in the holy light, and its body transformed into a little white. The ashes fell on the ground, but the transparent light blue soul floated up in the wind, breaking away from the shackles of the holy light, and floated above Jasper's head. superior.
Seeing the complete blue outline, Roy discovered that this ghost should have been an elf girl in life. Her delicate face and pointed ears could indicate her identity.
"Let's go back to the arms of Goddess Elune, there is no use staying here."
Jasper said softly, and then closed the magic book in his hand.
As the holy light beam slowly disappeared, the blue soul also turned into dots of light and disappeared into the captain's cabin.
