Path of Light.

Chapter 170 171. Boarding the Ship
Castletown Harbor Wharf, a ship from Pallam Island docks.

The magician Benjamin was in the disembarkation queue. The trip to Palma Island was not as smooth as he thought. It took him two days to meet the watchman on the Kumquat, and the rest of the crew did not see him. arrive.

Not to mention the gray dwarf Ralph, he has to go back to Castletown to find a way...

The afternoon sun will make people feel very comfortable when they shine on the body.

As soon as Magician Benjamin got off the boat, he saw a two-masted sailing ship docked at the pier. This sea ship was very delicately built. The ram of a unicorn turned out to be on the bow, and the sail on the mast was also brand new white canvas. There is even a safety net under the mast. The ship building occupies one-third of the entire ship, and exquisite magic lamps are hung in the four corners of the ship building.

This ship is less than 40 meters long, but it is extremely gorgeously designed. It should be a sea ship for the upper elves.

The magician Benjamin stopped and looked at the ship, his eyes seemed a little greedy...

A group of young silver moon elf nobles appeared on the top of the boat building, and Benjamin immediately looked away.

……

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

The butler 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, hesitated before saying, "Wait a little longer."

The steward replied respectfully: "Yes."

Several Silver Moon elves were sitting in the pergola on the roof of the ship building, with iced drinks on the round table in front of them, and saw Edith standing on the ship building and looking into the distance.

An elf asked curiously:
"Edith, who are we waiting for?"

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

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

……

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

"Claire, why don't you get out of bed after the sun sets?"

Claire, who had two big dark circles under her eyes, curled up in the corner of the carriage with a tired face despite drinking a glass of life sap.

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

After finishing speaking, he stretched his waist, and said to Roy who was looking anxiously at the pier:

"Roy, come and name this song!"

"I don't care about you..."

The speed of the carriage did not decrease all the way, and it drove straight into the port pier.

Finally stopped in front of the Nautilus, Roy jumped out of the carriage first, and saw a familiar figure walking into the grocery store on the pier.

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

This guy should be hiding in Castletown, how could he risk running to the port pier.

When Roy was in a daze, Claire walked out of the carriage, pushed Roy's back with both hands, and urged:
"Roy, don't be in a daze, we're on board!"

After speaking, he waved his hand to Edith who was standing on the ship tower looking this way, and said loudly:
"Sorry, Edith, it's a bit late!"

Immediately afterwards, Claire boarded the boat with Roy.

The coachman also drove the carriage and left the pier slowly.

Edith waved to Roy and Claire, then turned to the butler waiting aside 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 one after another. When they saw Claire and Roy boarding the ship, they all greeted Claire warmly:
"Claire, it's you!"

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

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

With a series of loud ringing bells...

'Dangdangdang! '

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

The two crew members untied the oil-soaked hemp rope, lowered the sail by half, and adjusted the angle of the sail. As the sail bulged, the Nautilus slowly left the port.

Roy found that this ship had no oar room or long oars. The awning at the bottom of the ship was painted vermilion, and the windows of the cabin and the sides of the ship were covered with a layer of metal.

The sea boat slowly went out to sea along the laneway, and Edith and Phyllis came down from the ship building.

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

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

"I thought you missed the appointment..."

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

"Sorry, I was delayed because of something!"

Roy quickly apologized to Edith, after all, it seemed that the elves in this boat were waiting for the two of them.

Phyllis held Edith's arm, and the two silver moon elf girls were cold and beautiful, and the other was bright.

"Roy, is this your first time going out to sea by boat?" Phyllis asked tentatively.

Roy pointed to the flying fishing boat on the pier in the shallow water area, and replied:

"I used to go out on that kind of flying fishing boat. I almost always went out in the morning and returned to Hong Kong in the evening!"

Edith saw a young elf looking this way, and said to Roy:

"Let's go, I'll show you the room. There are limited seats on the ship. Roy, is it okay for you to share a cabin with Claire?"

Before Roy could speak, Claire immediately responded from the side:

"no problem……"

Among the elves surrounding Claire, a young elf hurriedly said:
"Claire, you might as well share a cabin with me, mine is bigger."

The young elf on the side also echoed:

"Yeah, Justin's cabin has a front ocean view! One of the nicest cabins on the boat."

"I still want to live in the same room as Roy, I'm his partner!"

After finishing speaking, Claire emerged from a group of elves, stood beside Roy, put his arms around Roy's shoulders, and said to Edith:

"Miss Edith, please show us the cabin, I need to catch up on 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 upper deck:

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

Hearing someone calling his name above his head, Roy raised his head, and saw Bertha and Teresa siblings crowded in a row of young elves, waving to them.

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

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

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

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

Many cabin doors were open, and the cabins were full of young Silvermoon elves. When they saw Edith and Phyllis, they stood in front of the cabin doors to say hello...

The space in the cabin is a bit small, but the interior decoration is very delicate. The upper and lower bunk beds are carved with exquisite patterns, and a layer of paste is even worn out on the armrests. The bed is covered with snow-white velvet blankets. There is half a small table and a chair.

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

"Not bad!" Claire agreed very 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 are still many things waiting for Edith to deal with.

Soon there were only Claire and Roy left in the narrow cabin.

There was nothing embarrassing about the two of them living together in the Malaga jungle for a month.

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

'tuk tuk tuk'

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

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

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