Path of light

Chapter 46 46. Ask for help

The Janna Killer was like a sea snake, its huge fish tail swaying back and forth in the water in the bottom cabin corridor, and it swam forward silently carrying Roy on its back.

The scales on his body were a little hard, and although the dorsal fins had all been retracted, they still stung Roy inadvertently.

Probably because he had been hung for a long time, Roy's arms could hardly exert any strength, and he could only let Naga Killer carry him forward.

Just when Roy thought that this corridor was about to end, Naga Killer suddenly patted Roy gently with his hand...

Then, Roy was frightened and sank little by little into the seawater less than one meter deep in the corridor.

The corridor was dark, and there were some thick wooden walls on both sides of the corridor. Due to long-term soaking in sea water, these wooden walls became extremely slippery, and some seaweed and shellfish even grew on them.

The depth is only one meter, and there is a very clear dividing line on the wooden wall.

The Naga Killer sank not very fast, quietly, without even the slightest ripple...

By the time Roy realized he was about to take a deep breath, the seawater was almost covering Roy's lips, so he took a quick breath.

Before Roy's hair was completely submerged in the sea water, there was already the sound of wading in the water from the other side of the corridor.

A sailor came from the other end of the corridor.

He was also carrying a tin bucket in his hand, which exuded a strong fishy smell.

His feet were bare, and even though his pants were rolled up to his thighs, they were still wet.

A big foot stepped into the sea water, and the surging water hit Roy's face, and the hairy knee almost hit Roy's face.

Roy held his breath and hid behind Naga Killer, not daring to move...

Just when the sailor was about to walk past Naga Killer, a shout came from the end of the corridor:

"Pat, don't feed them tonight. Nerev is worried that they will have the strength to call out. He will go back to attract the elves on the dock. We are about to leave the port and we will go to feed them then..."

"Damn it, if I didn't tell you earlier, I would have to stand in this smelly sea water for so long!"

The sailor cursed and turned back.

When turning around, Roy dodged cleverly and was almost hit by a strong knee from the thick thigh.

After the sailor walked out with the iron bucket, Naga Killer came up from the bottom of the water. After Roy put his head out of the water, he gasped for air.

The air in the corridor was extremely turbid, and there was a fishy smell that hit his throat, but Roy couldn't care about it at all...

At the end of the corridor is the staircase leading to the first floor of the deck. The hatch is closed, and some chaotic footsteps can even be heard.

Naga Killer did not walk towards the stairs, but swam half the way secretly, and then squeezed into a utility room with Roy on his back.

This place has also been soaked by sea water, and all supplies have been emptied, leaving only some empty shelves and some wooden boxes on the top of the shelves.

There is also a strong musty smell in this room.

After Naga Killer swam into the room, he came directly to the corner of the wall, stretched out his arms, inserted his sharp fingernails into the gaps in the wooden wall, and actually climbed up the wall with his bare hands using the strength of his arms.

Roy hugged Naga Killer's neck tightly to prevent him from sliding off Naga Killer's body...

The room was very dark.

After all, we are in a cabin, and the roof of the shed can almost be touched by raising your hand.

Naga Killer touched a round hole with his hands, and with a little force, his whole body squeezed into the hole.

The hole was a bit narrow, allowing only one person to get through. Roy wrapped the Naga Killer's tail fin and followed the Naga Killer into the lower deck.

This is a cabin that can be lived in. There is a bed against the wall in the room. It is not a double bed on the upper and lower floors. It is also two meters long and one meter three wide. There is also half a table in the cabin. There are also some leather armors and a scimitar with a golden mouth...

Although the room is not big, it is very clean.

You don't need to look at it to know that the owner of this room must have some status on this ship.

Roy wanted to take a closer look, but the Naga killer on the side was actually in front of half of the desk. He stretched out his hand and pulled open the curtain in front of the desk. Suddenly Castletown, the night sky and the sea came through the glass window. caught Roy's eyes.

The circular glass window is less than fifty centimeters in diameter. Although Naga Killer is three meters long, his body is very slender and he can easily climb out of the window.

Roy followed closely behind him and got out.

Worried that the huge sound of water splashing into the sea would attract the attention of the sailors on the ship, Roy still lay on the Naga Killer's back and let him crawl down against the outside of the hull...

Finally, he dived into the sea quietly. When the long-lost smell and coolness of the sea enveloped Roy's body, Roy's body was so excited that he trembled.

He suppressed the emotions in his heart that he desperately wanted to vent, and quickly swam to the shallow water dock with Naga Killer on his back...

Castletown Pier at night, less than 200 meters away from the Deep Water Pier.

Rows of small wooden boats were parked on the passage made of wooden planks at the pier. The small wooden boats closest to the edge of the pier had completely run aground, and only the small wooden boats here were still floating in the water.

Naga Killer held Roy's butt with both hands, lifted him up, turned around and prepared to dive into the water.

Roy half squatted on the wooden board, wiped the sea water from his face, and shouted softly:

"etc"

Naga Killer couldn't understand what Roy was saying and looked at Roy suspiciously.

Roy made a waiting gesture to the Naga Killer and immediately stood up and ran to the pier.

There are no boat-cutting tools on these small wooden boats, but there are some in the general store at the dock...

Roy was now covered in injuries. The trainee priest's robe had been stripped off by the crew, leaving him naked except for a pair of shorts.

The wrists and ankles were all red from being strangled, and the muscles in both arms were sore, as if they were dislocated.

His body was covered with dozens of small wounds from fish hooks. Being soaked in sea water, the stinging pain required Roy to use all his strength to resist.

He was running on the dock, looking very embarrassed.

It's just that the pier in the shallow water area was almost deserted at night. The old elf guarding the entrance of the pier looked surprised when he saw Roy's embarrassment, and the teacup in his hand rolled under the table.

Roy looked human. The old elf just stared at Roy, but he didn't want to cause trouble.

Rushing to the dock, Roy didn't shout for help.

This place is less than two hundred meters away from the sea ship. Although the night and the sea ship block the view, the shouting may make the crew find out what happened.

It's so late, and all the grocery stores on the pier are closed.

But Roy knew that the grocery store here at the port wharf was specialized in shipping business. The owner of the grocery store slept in the store almost every day. He quickly ran to the window behind the grocery store and knocked on the window of the bedroom cabin.

The shop owner yelled angrily from inside the house: "It's so late, the shops are closed, why are you knocking?"

Then there was another complaint, and he pushed open the window very dissatisfied. When he saw a human boy wearing only shorts and covered in injuries standing outside the window, his complaints stopped immediately.

Roy grabbed the window with both hands and said as quickly as possible:

"Give me an ax and a chisel. I am Roy who lives at No. 57 Brown Street. The money I owe you will be paid back to you tomorrow. Help me..."

When the shop owner saw Roy's look, his eyes showed some caution. Then he seemed to remember something and said hurriedly:

"I know you. You are Roy, the elf boy who looks like a human. I'm not that old yet. Oh my God, God of the Moon. What did you encounter? Did you fall into the fishing net of the tugboat? "

As he spoke, he opened the door to the side and turned around and walked into the grocery store inside.

"I've run into some trouble and need an ax and a chisel..."

Roy didn't have time to elaborate.

"If you are in trouble, go find the elves on guard. Don't show off on your own."

The shopkeeper reminded Roy as he handed him the ax and chisel.

"I will go to them for help right away. This is a very big trouble. One of my companions is trapped in the boat..."

Roy quickly ran to the shallow water dock with an ax and chisel. Before he entered the wooden platform of the shallow water dock, he saw the Naga killer emerging from the sea water against the stone wall of the dock.

He didn't leave and kept secretly observing Roy at the edge of the pier.

Roy couldn't help but threw the ax and chisel to him. Knowing that he couldn't understand Elvish, he pointed at the Naga Killer and then at the ship. Then Roy pointed at himself and then at the guard. In the direction, he made a slashing motion with his shield and sword.

Then he stood up and ran towards the guards.

The port guard is also on duty at night, and is only separated from the grocery store by a warehouse.

There are two magic lamps lit at the door of the guard team, which are particularly eye-catching at night.

Roy ran over panting, pushed open the door and came to the reception desk.

It was actually the same elf lady from last time, but this time she was not wearing leather armor, but a loose skirt that looked like a nightgown. There was a soft blanket on the seat, and she looked like she was about to get ready for a rest.

When Roy pushed open the door and rushed in, she was startled.

"My name is Roy. I live at No. 57 Brown Street. I serve as a trainee priest at the Temple of Liberty. Tonight, when my companions and I were purifying the ship, we were detained by the crew of the ship. At the same time, I I found out that they had captured a boatload of Naga Sea people, so I took the risk and escaped, and I asked you to help me rescue my companions."

Roy stood in front of the reception desk and spoke the organized language in one breath.

"Captain...Captain!"

The elf lady covered her collar with her hands, ran to the stairs, and shouted towards the stairs.

Roy took this opportunity to take a breath and looked at the furnishings in the guard team. He suddenly realized that the guard team at the port dock was usually only responsible for the security of the dock. He wanted them to deal with a whole ship of pirates. The guard team was so small. …

It seems that's not enough.
