Chapter 170 171. Boarding the ship

Castletown Port Pier, a ship sailing from Parram Island docked.

Magician Benjamin was in the queue to disembark. This trip to Parram Island was not as smooth as he thought. It took him two days to see the lookout on the Kumquat, and the rest of the crew members were not seen. arrive.

He even failed to see the gray dwarf Ralph, who had to return to Castletown to find a solution...

The afternoon sun makes people feel very comfortable when it shines on their bodies.

As soon as Wizard Benjamin stepped off the ship, he saw a ketch docked at the pier. This sea-going ship was particularly exquisitely built, with a unicorn's horn on the bow, and the sails on the mast were also made of brand new white canvas. There is even a safety net covering the bottom of the mast. The ship's building occupies one-third of the entire ship, and exquisite magic lamps are hung in the four corners of the ship's building.

This ship is less than forty meters long, but its design is extremely gorgeous. It should be a sea ship used by the upper elves.

Magician Benjamin stopped and looked at the ship, his eyes looking a little greedy...

A group of young Silver Moon Elf nobles appeared on the top of the ship, and Benjamin immediately looked away.

…

Edith stood on the ship's roof. The ship was about to leave the port. Most of the invited guests had already boarded the ship, but Roy and Claire had not arrived yet.

The housekeeper came to Edith's side and asked in a low voice:

"Miss, the tide has risen. Can we set sail?"

Edith looked at the end of the port pier and hesitated before saying, "Wait a moment."

The butler replied respectfully: "Yes."

Several Silver Moon elves were sitting in the pergola on the roof of the ship, with ice drinks on the round table in front of them. They saw Edith standing on the ship's roof looking into the distance.

An elf asked curiously:

"Edith, who are we waiting for?"

Edith turned around and responded:

"There are still a few classmates who haven't arrived. It's their first time attending a sea party. I'm worried that they won't be able to find the Nautilus."

Just as he was talking, he saw a carriage speeding from Brown Street at the end of the port.

…

Roy sat in the carriage and kept looking towards the dock.

"Claire, why don't you get out of bed before the sun goes down?"

Claire, who had two big dark circles under her eyes, still looked tired even though she drank a glass of life tree sap, huddled in the corner of the carriage.

Facing Roy's questioning, he didn't feel any guilt at all. Instead, he said feebly: "No matter what, this piece is finished!"

After speaking, he stretched and said to Roy, who was looking anxiously at the dock:

"Roy, come and give this piece a name!"

"I'm too lazy to care about you..."

The carriage did not slow down and drove straight into the port terminal.

Finally stopping in front of the Nautilus, Roy jumped off the carriage first and saw a familiar figure walking into the grocery store on the dock.

He blinked hard, feeling that he might not have slept well in the past two days, but everyone looked like Benjamin...

This guy should be hiding in Castletown. How could he risk running to the port dock?

When Roy was in a daze, Claire walked out of the car, pushed Roy's back with both hands, and urged:

"Roy, don't be dazed, we're on board!"

After speaking, he waved to Edith, who was standing on the ship's roof looking over here, and said loudly:

"Sorry, Edith, it's a little late!"

Immediately afterwards, Claire and Roy boarded the boat.

The coachman also drove the carriage slowly away from the pier.

Edith waved to Roy and Claire, then turned to the waiting butler and said, "Butler Allen, you can go."

On the deck of the Nautilus, a group of young elves heard the shouts below the ship and ran to the side of the ship. When they saw Claire and Roy boarding the ship, they all greeted Claire warmly:

"Claire, it turns out to be you!"

"Claire, have you also received Miss Edith's invitation?"

Roy and Claire boarded the ship, and the crew waiting at the boarding port quickly removed the sampan.

With a series of loud ringing sounds...

‘Dang Dang Dang! ’

Several crew members pushed the winch and pulled up the anchor.

The two crew members untied the oil-soaked hemp rope, lowered the sail halfway, and adjusted the angle of the sail. As the sail swelled, the Nautilus slowly left the harbor.

Roy discovered that this boat actually had no oar room or long oars. The awning on the bottom of the boat was painted vermilion, and the cabin windows and the side edges of the boat were covered with a layer of metal.

The ship slowly sailed out to sea along the lane, and Edith and Phyllis walked down the ship's roof.

Although Claire had dark circles under his eyes at this moment, he was still surrounded by a group of enthusiastic elves, and everyone wanted to chat with him.

On the contrary, Roy was isolated on the periphery, and no elf noticed him.

"I thought you broke the appointment..."

Phyllis took two glasses of juice from the waiter and handed one to Roy.

"Sorry, I was delayed because of something!"

Roy quickly apologized to Edith. After all, it seemed that the ship of elves was waiting for the two of them.

Phyllis held Edith's arm. One of the two silver moon elf girls was cold and the other was bright.

"Roy, is this your first time going out on a boat?" Phyllis asked tentatively.

Roy pointed to the flying fish boat on the dock in the shallow water area and replied:

“I’ve gone out on that kind of flying fishing boat before. I almost always went out in the morning and returned to port in the evening!”

Edith saw a young elf looking over here and said to Roy:

"Let's go, I'll show you the room. The cabins on the ship are limited. Roy, can you and Claire share a cabin?"

Before Roy could speak, Claire immediately responded:

"no problem……"

Among the elves surrounding Claire, a young elf said quickly:

"Claire, why don't you share a cabin with me? My cabin is bigger."

The young elf on the side also echoed:

"Yeah, Justin's cabin has a front view of the sea! It's one of the best cabins on the ship."

"I still want to live in the same room with Roy, he and I are partners!"

After saying that, Claire emerged from a group of elves, stood next to Roy, put her arm around Roy's shoulders, and said to Edith:

"Miss Edith, please take us to see the cabin. I have to catch up on my sleep..."

Edith nodded, turned around and walked into the cabin.

Just as they were about to enter the cabin, they heard someone shouting to the two of them from the cabin overhead:

"Roy, Claire, come up and enjoy the sea breeze later!"

Hearing someone calling his name above his head, Roy raised his head and saw brother and sister Bertha and Theresa huddled among a row of young elves, waving to them.

In the Malaga jungle, Roy treated Bertha's injuries.

It was from Bertha's mouth that Roy heard about the Holy Grail of Wisdom hidden in Master Claire Latin's house...

This ship is obviously much smaller than the Black Pearl, but the interior decoration of the entire ship is full of the style of the Silver Moon Elf, with red carpets and exquisite curtains hanging everywhere.

Roy and Claire's room was on the lower deck. They were the last to arrive, and their room was also close to the stern.

Many cabin doors were open, and the cabins were filled with young Silver Moon elves. When they saw Edith and Phyllis, they all stood in front of the cabin doors to say hello...

The space in the cabin is a bit small, but the decoration inside is very exquisite. The upper and lower bunk beds are carved with exquisite patterns, and there is even a layer of patina on the armrests. The bed is covered with a snow-white velvet blanket. There is also half a small table and A chair.

"Roy, Claire, can you two live here?" Phyllis asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Claire agreed readily...

After the ship enters the open sea, a dance will be held on the deck.

Until then, the two can rest in the cabin.

Edith and Phyllis then left. As the organizer of this event, there were still many things waiting for Edith to deal with.

Claire and Roy were soon the only two people left in the narrow cabin.

The two of them had lived together in the Malaga jungle for a month, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Claire waited until everyone else left, then took off her boots, climbed onto the upper bed with bare feet, lay on the bed and fell asleep with a tired look on her face...

‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

There was a knock on the door, and Roy, who was sitting on the chair, stood up and opened the door.

A waiter stood in the corridor holding a tray and said to Roy:

"Miss Edith asked me to bring you a refreshment. If you need anything, you can give it at any time."
