Path of light

Chapter 270 271. Death of Ralph

In just a few days, the Black Pearl has undergone great changes. The sides of the hull are covered with a kind of vine. This kind of vine will not be affected by wind and waves, but the strange thing is that it only needs to As soon as you touch its leaves or rhizomes with your hands, the main rhizome of the tree vine will tremble violently.

Woods calls this kind of creeper the vine, which grows deep in the dense forest in the southern part of the Elf Continent.

Woods used the power of nature to accelerate its growth. In just five days, the hull was completely covered with a layer of such vines.

The top of the Black Pearl's ship building is where Woods cultivates some plants, and eighteen flowers of light are placed here.

Woods even built an awning. Roy told him that if the Black Pearl sailed at sea in the future, it must build a sunroom so that you can eat vegetables while sailing at sea.

Woods uses the power of nature to perform a ritual called 'life awakening' on the main mast every day.

It looked very ceremonial, and Roy soon discovered that there were wet water stains on the main mast, which flowed from the heart of the tree and felt sticky, like glue.

Woods squatted in front of the mast, put his nose up and sniffed, then turned to Roy who was guarding behind and said:

"This mast has already responded a little bit, but if you want it to completely come to life, you may still need a drop of life spring water."

"I've heard of the tree sap of life, and you can get it in Castletown, but where can I get the spring of life water?" Roy asked with some confusion.

Woods blinked, feeling for the first time that Roy didn't look like a resident of the Elf Continent at all.

"The three royal cities in the Elf Continent, Buenos in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, Innohouse in the Dark Moon Elf Kingdom, and Darnassus in the Wood Elf Kingdom all have springs of life, but if you want to get the spring of life, Unless you are a member of the Silver Moon Elf royal family," Woods said.

Roy patted his forehead. He had never been to Buenos...

"Can I buy it in the underground market?"

Woods spread his hands, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Roy glanced at the main mast that was glowing with a little life, and hesitated before saying, "You can try your luck. How much life spring water is needed to revive this main mast?"

"Just one drop will do." Woods said, "In fact, it's okay if there is no spring water. The wound has been repaired, and the heart of the tree is no longer a dead tree. It seems to be asleep."

After hearing what Woods said, Roy let go of his hanging heart.

Tiffany had been standing behind the two of them, their fingers intertwined, she was a little hesitant.

After Roy and Woods finished discussing the main mast, they turned to look at Miss Tiffany.

"Roy, can I go to the Partington plane with you?" Tiffany asked cautiously.

"Of course, but if you are too far away from the sea, will your body be able to bear it?" Roy felt that a fish out of water would not survive for long after all.

"It's okay to be prepared. I've wanted to wander around on land for a long time." Miss Tiffany said happily when she saw Roy readily agreeing.

She had lived on this boat for more than four months and wanted to go out for a walk.

Seeing that Miss Tiffany was so impatient, Roy said:

"Well, we will go to the Partington plane next week. At that time, we need to take a boat to Partington Island in Castletown Port, and then arrive at Padstow City through teleporters. Before departure, I And Woods will come and call you."

This time, the instructors were going to Hood Island to take charge of various assessment items in the field practice course, and could not leave to go to Padstow.

At first, only Roy, Woods and Sabrina went to Padstow City. Later, Claire joined in. Now there is another Miss Tiffany, and the team going to the Partington plane is constantly growing.

Roy looked up at the flowers of light on the roof of the ship building, and said somewhat worriedly: "Woods, what will happen to these flowers of light while we are away?"

"It's fine to keep them on the ship's roof, but you have to find someone to water them regularly. I really don't understand why the flowers will be wilted when you bring them back the next day, Luo. Yi, are you sure you didn't do anything excessive to these flowers of light?"

After saying that, Woods stared at Roy very seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have it!"

Roy responded with some annoyance.

…

The gray dwarf Ralf poked his head out from the sea and wiped the sea water from his face.

He felt that if he continued to soak in the sea, he would soon become a salted fish. Under the scorching sun, sea salt would definitely appear on his body.

Looking at the Sea Wolf from a distance, he wanted to drag this big ship into the sea.

Now the ship is covered with green plants. He really wants to tear those vines off his precious ship, but he can't do it now...

He knew that there was a naga mermaid living on the boat, but the mermaid lady was very alert. Every time he tried to get close, she would wake up immediately.

There were two windows in that room. No matter which window was opened, one could immediately escape into the sea.

He didn't want to alert the enemy, so he never took action.

Just as he was thinking about how to take back the Sea Wolf, Captain Ralph suddenly felt a cold aura lingering in his heart, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

He suddenly turned around and looked into the sea, and saw an ugly face suddenly revealed in the depths of the sea. A Naga warrior holding a long thorn kept twisting his fish tail and aimed at Ralph like a sharp arrow. The captain rushed over.

Naga men and Naga women are completely the two most extreme existences.

The faces of male Nagas resemble those of the great demons in hell. Their purple faces are covered with scales, and they cannot even smile.

Female Nagas are also called mermaids. They are almost the embodiment of beauty. People often say that the most beautiful race on land are elves, and the most beautiful race in the ocean are mermaids. This sentence excludes male Nagas...

This Naga assassin is Roy's old acquaintance Xiu.

He knew Captain Ralph, who had led a group of human crew members to rob the women of their tribe.

Hatred also grew little by little from then on. What he saw and heard on the Sea Wolf later made Xiu's hatred for this group of humans reach its peak.

When he came to Castletown Port, he actually didn't expect to meet Captain Ralph. He came... this time to visit Tiffany.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into Captain Ralph in the shallow sea area.

He hid in a rock crevice on the bottom of the sea, silently observing the surrounding situation, and after confirming that there were no accomplices of Captain Ralph around, he sneaked past Captain Ralph's feet.

It's just that he didn't hide the hatred in his eyes in the sea, and Captain Ralph felt it.

Captain Ralph did not dare to relax at all. He raised his head, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the sea.

He had no armor on his body, and no warhammer in his hand. He held a hand ax in his right hand.

Captain Ralph has good water skills. He can move the water with his hands and swim flexibly in the sea.

When Xiu saw Captain Ralph diving into the sea, he didn't dare to get too close. He just swam back and forth around Captain Ralph, looking for the best opportunity to attack.

In this way, the two of them had a stalemate from early evening until late at night.

Xiu is a Naga who lives in the sea. He doesn't feel tired swimming around in the sea. When he's hungry, he can easily grab some fish and shrimp and stuff them into his stomach.

But Captain Relf couldn't. Although he had plenty of physical strength, his body began to gradually become dehydrated after being soaked in the sea for a long time. Moreover, he hadn't eaten or rested for a long time, and he kept diving into the sea to confront the Naga warriors. .

Captain Ralph did not dare to swim towards the port shore, so he could only stay in place.

Late at night, the water gradually became cooler.

Captain Ralph also realized that if the stalemate continued, he would be the first to be unable to stand it.

He wanted to rush forward and quickly deal with the Naga warrior, but he could never find a chance. Every time he tried to rush forward, the cunning Naga warrior would dive into the seabed and play hide-and-seek with him in the crevices of the rocks.

Captain Ralph was so angry that he wanted to smash all the rocks on the seabed...

…

At the strong request of Tiffany and Woods, Roy agreed to grill the fish for them again.

Before the charcoal fire could be lit, Sabrina and Moira also ran to the Black Pearl. They also brought some mackerel from the fish market, so the simple dinner turned into a barbecue dinner.

Miss Tiffany even went into the sea to catch some scallops and oysters herself.

At the last barbecue dinner, Roy made a simple garlic scallop dish, letting Miss Tiffany know that scallops can actually be eaten like this...

As night fell, everyone sat on the side of the boat, eating grilled fish and talking and laughing.

When there were many people, Moira would squat next to Roy without saying a word.

She had long been accustomed to Roy's barbecue method. With her helping him, Roy saved a lot of trouble...

"Roy, did you hear anything in the distance?"

Moira squatted next to the oven on the bow of the boat, using tongs to put the roasted shells on the plate, and said to Roy.

Roy calmed down and listened carefully to the movements around him. Apart from the chatter on the deck, there was the sound of waves one after another.

Roy shook his head...

"There seem to be two big fish over there that keep splashing in the water."

Moira pointed to the sea and whispered to Roy.

"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten, Tiffany, you have to dry some small fish in the past two days. There is nothing in Padstow except fruit!" Roy looked at Tiffany who was sitting on the side of the boat. Vanney said loudly.

Tiffany drank a little ale.

She has a very low alcohol capacity, and her face will turn red after drinking even a little bit. Then she cannot maintain her elf form, and a long three-color fish tail is exposed from her skirt.

"I know, it's really verbose..."

Tiffany was clearly drunk.

When she saw some sea water under the boat, she jumped directly from the side of the ship, which was seven or eight meters high, and jumped into the sea.

The moment she entered the water, Tiffany had already woken up. The water below was only knee-deep at most, which was not enough to relieve her from the rush of jumping down. She might have to be inserted into the sand on the bottom of the sea. If she hit her head first. If you get to the rocks, it will only be bad luck for Tiffany...

Tiffany spit out a string of spells, and without even seeing how she drew the magic circle, a wave of waves actually appeared under her body, dragging her body away like the sea.

The wave turned into a water-shaped war horse on the sea. Tiffany lay on the horse's back and was carried dozens of meters away by the war horse.

While everyone was anxiously waiting for Tiffany to come back from swimming, the sound of fighting in the distance gradually became clearer.

…

Roy's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Moira, who looked at the dark sea with a worried look.

Roy no longer hesitated, stood up and rushed to the side of the boat. He reached out and grabbed a vine on the side of the boat and slipped down along the ivy vine.

Sabrina and Woods also realized what was happening on the sea in the distance, and Sabrina also imitated Roy's movements and slid down the edge of the hull.

Woods jumped forward on the boat and actually jumped directly into the sea. The moment he entered the water, Woods' body transformed into a sea lion, dived into the sea very smoothly, and rushed to the place where the sound of fighting came from.

Roy and Sabrina both followed, swimming hard.

Moira stood on the boat, looking at the sea with a worried look on her face. She was so anxious that she almost cried, but she didn't dare to go into the sea...

…

Xiu didn't expect that Tiffany would suddenly appear...

Her appearance instantly broke the stalemate, and Captain Ralph seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions. He used all his strength to hit Tiffany with his hand ax.

Tiffany turned pale with fright. She didn't expect that she would cause such a big trouble with just a slight jump.

Captain Ralph was like a sea beast hiding in the darkness, suddenly appearing and baring its fangs...

Tiffany let out a short spell, and slapped the neck of the water-shaped war horse with one hand. In an instant, countless ice breaths caused the war horse to freeze into ice, and the ice horse crashed into the oncoming Captain Ralph.

Miss Tiffany jumped into the sea early.

The ax hit the ice crystal war horse's head. The ice horse shattered into slag, and countless ice shards fell into the sea.

Captain Ralph was blown away by the ice until his hair and beard turned white...

Captain Ralph didn't dare to pay attention to Miss Tiffany at all. He turned around and raised his ax to face Xiu who rushed up from behind. However, he found that a layer of ice had condensed on his body, and even his movements were much slower than usual.

If this were on land, Captain Ralph would not pay attention to this ice magic at all.

But now that he was soaked in the sea water, he had difficulty moving. Now that he was covered with a layer of ice, it was even more unbearable for him.

Captain Relf seemed to force out the fighting spirit in his body and shattered the ice shell on his body. As the ice shell shattered, the Naga warrior actually appeared behind Captain Relf and stabbed Relf with the spikes in his hands. Captain's neck.

Captain Ralph was aware of it, but it was difficult for him to exert force in the sea...

Originally, the trouble could be solved with just an elbow strike, but Captain Ralph gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the Naga warrior's spikes.

The spikes penetrated Captain Ralph's palm, Xiu hugged Captain Ralph's shoulders from behind, and wrapped his body around Captain Ralph's body.

Tiffany waved her hand and threw two ice arrows into the sea...

While the Naga warriors hugged Captain Ralph, two ice arrows also penetrated Captain Ralph's shoulders.

Captain Ralph took the Naga warriors and struggled upstream to the sea.

Naga warrior Xiu dragged Captain Ralph and pulled him hard to the bottom of the sea...

Then, like a spider web, the ice shell condensed and spread on the sea surface above Captain Ralph's head, like a huge umbrella cover.

A look of defeat appeared on Captain Ralph's face. He was now exhausted. He was wrestling with Naga in the sea, and his body sank to the bottom of the sea little by little...

…

Woods was the first to arrive at the battlefield here and saw a Naga warrior dragging a gray dwarf into the seabed.

The gray dwarf kept spitting out bubbles from his mouth, and it looked like he had drank a lot of sea water. The gray dwarf kept grabbing at the sea with his hands, trying to find the last straw.

Unfortunately, his strength to struggle was getting weaker and weaker.

Woods immediately swam to Miss Tiffany's side and saw that except for her pale face, everything else was normal.

It's just that the two of them couldn't communicate normally in the sea.

Roy and Sabrina also arrived in time. Looking at Captain Ralph's face, Roy was stunned in the sea.

Unexpectedly, Captain Ralph successfully escaped from prison.

But when he ran out of prison, he didn't seem to be doing well. He had no armor on his body and no weapons in his hands...

At this time, he was struggling for the last time... struggling in vain.

Captain Relf did not expect that after being a slave trader all his life, he would be dragged into the bottom of the sea by a Naga warrior and drowned alive.
