Path of Light.

Chapter 42 42. Fishing Nets
Roy was taken aback by the scaly arm.

He moved closer calmly, trying to push the celery leaves out of the box to see what it was.

But the moment he picked the celery leaves, Roy's hand stopped suddenly and he forced himself to turn around.

Because under the light of the divine twilight, he had already seen clearly what was behind the shelf... That was the person he least wanted to see, maybe he couldn't be called a human being.

The Naga killer I saw this morning was actually hidden in the deepest part of the two rows of shelves.

Roy was really worried, he would suddenly jump out and stab himself in the back,

However, he didn't seem to move at all, not even turning his eyes. If it wasn't for the slight ups and downs of the gills behind his cheeks, Roy would have felt that he wasn't breathing at all just now.

He's like a... salted fish leaning against a shelf.

Could it be that he disguised himself as a salted fish?
He was like the silly emperor in the emperor's new clothes, who had been exposed to the light but didn't know it.

And I am sure that no one else will see it...

Roy moved the dim light away calmly. He tried to make himself look normal. When he looked over, it was as if he saw a shelf full of vegetables...

As the dim light in Roy's hand slowly moved away, the shelves and Janna Killer merged into the darkness again.

Without the sacred twilight to illuminate that place, it is really impossible to see the Naga killer...

Roy turned around and realized that the Naga killer still had some concealment methods.

But under the low-light lighting technique, he had nowhere to hide, but he didn't know it, and Roy pretended not to see it...

At this moment, Roy felt that his heart was beating so hard that he was about to squeeze it out of his throat.

He didn't want to eliminate potential threats for the sailors on the ship, so he walked back calmly.

Jasper was still standing where he was, thinking about what reason to find so that the storage room could be transferred to the oar room on the lower floor. When he saw Roy walking over with a ball of dim light, he immediately opened his eyes wide and shouted With a voice:

"Oh, Roy, right here, don't let him get away..."

Roy felt that if Jasper went to the opera, he would definitely become a very good actor.

When he yells into the air, the emotion he expresses is very full.

When he turned around, Jasper had already rushed out from his side, and he followed closely behind Jasper, with that holy twilight...

……

The door of the storage room was opened with a dull sound.

The Naga Killer quickly hid his body in the shadow of the corner of the shelf.

Then two people walked in from the door, and then he realized that he had misread it, it should be an elf and a human.

And he had seen that young human being in the morning, the young man who escaped by accident.

It seemed that there was nothing wrong with catching him. The Naga killer stared at Roy. He was indeed a member of the ship, and he was also the weakest one.

I have long guessed that he is not a good person. When I shot in the morning, I should have been more ruthless...

Seeing Roy and his companion muttering, the Naga Killer considered the two of them...it's not convenient for him to do it.

Once discovered, his infiltration plan will be in vain...

In addition, there were two sailors guarding the door, and he could clearly feel the bloody smell from the two sailors outside the door, which made him hide in the storage room, not daring to act rashly.

Then he saw Roy walking towards him holding a lamp, but when he was about to walk in front of him, he suddenly turned and passed by.

As long as Roy takes one step closer, even if the Naga killer is hiding in a dark corner, his feet will inevitably step on the coiled tail fin of the Naga killer.

At that time, even if he couldn't hide, Killer Janna was going to stab the dagger directly into his chest.

For him, at this time... kill one, earn one!
It's a pity that Roy was just one step away from the Naga killer, turned around suddenly, and walked back...

His elf companion was also a bit inexplicable, and he looked like a fool when he first came in.

At this moment, he ran directly in the narrow storage room, and yelled inexplicably.

Killer Naga thought he was discovered by those two people, but then he found out that this was not the case at all...

……

In the storage room, Roy and Jasper ran out one after another. When they were about to reach the door, Jasper suddenly stopped, holding a magic book and reciting a short prayer.

Suddenly, a holy light fell from the roof, like a cone-shaped beam of light shining on the wooden floor.

The second officer who was guarding the door of the storage room turned around and took a look inside. He saw the beam of light exuding a sacred aura, but he didn't see the ghost covered by the beam.

At this time, Jasper knelt on one knee, pressed one hand on the floor, and asked Roy:
"How did it go down there?"

Roy also took back the dim light, walked to Jasper's side, and asked casually, "What should I do?"

"Follow the chase, are there any stairs here?" Jasper asked decisively.

The burly body of the second officer almost blocked the door of the storage room tightly, bending over to poke his bald head in...

"What's the trouble?"

Jasper pointed to the beam of light that had not completely dissipated, and said to the second officer:

"We just saw a vengeful spirit, but it has already developed spiritual intelligence. When it saw us, it ran away quickly, and it has already escaped below the deck..."

The second officer looked at the two suspiciously, and then said:
"Come with me!"

He stepped aside from the storage room door and stood in the narrow hallway.

The crew member following the second officer stood in front of the two of them, sandwiching them again...

Roy guessed that he didn't want to beat the vegetables in the storage room to pieces during the fight, so he agreed to Jasper's proposal and agreed to go down to chase the wraith.

……

When a group of people passed by the kitchen, the head chef, who was instructing his subordinates to work in the kitchen, deliberately ran out, blocked the corridor, and asked the second mate unceremoniously.

Roy couldn't understand what they were saying, but he felt that the second officer was so tall and strong that he was very polite in front of the head chef.

Probably the head chef was in a good mood when he heard that the wraith escaped, and he praised the second mate...

The stairs leading below the deck are located in the middle of the first floor of the ship building.

Extending diagonally from here, it will not take up much space in the kitchen.

The stairs here are rather dilapidated. Apart from some scratches, there are traces of corrosion on the walls, the paint surface is also tattered, and even a little moldy.

The walls on both sides were also mottled, and it was hard to see what kind of paint was applied, but it was just black, and there was even a layer of black mud stains on the places that were often touched.

Going down the stairs, here are the cabins of the crew, one next to the other, very dense.

The light in this corridor is a little dark, and there are no lights on the walls.

Roy walked in holding a twilight, and saw that besides some chores, there were a few stinky shoes lying in the corridor, which made it almost impossible to settle down.

The second officer stepped on these sundries without noticing them, walked along the corridor for a while, and there was a corner ahead.

Opening this door leads to the oars room to the left of the crew quarters.

The oars room on the right is opposite the crew cabin, which is next to the pier. If he can go to that room, Roy plans to jump directly from the window to the pier. Anyway, the height of more than four meters is not too high. Jump down At most, it would break a leg.

But the two were led by the second officer into the oar room on the left side, the side of the ship facing the sea...

If you jump off the boat, you have to jump into the sea. Although it is safer, you need to swim back to the port. If you are caught by them during this period...

Roy was a little afraid to think about it.

The room is long and narrow, just like a large bunk. The wooden oars with a length of more than ten meters are hung on the side of the roof, and there are places for oars. Each oar has about eight seats, which seems to be eight. The crew has an oar, and there are still some luggage here. It seems that there should be crew members living here.

But now the room is empty...

Under the light of the sacred twilight in Roy's hand, there were actually more than a dozen resentful spirits floating in the room.

The wraiths here are almost completely lost, just floating motionless in the room.

The fire of souls on them was strong or weak. Roy passed by these wraiths, and just the power of the holy light emitted by a glimmer of light completely extinguished the fire of souls on a lost undead.

Then it disappeared into the air like a wisp of green smoke without any struggle, and the blue soul was freed from the shackles of resentment, and revealed its form under the divine twilight.

This soul that lost all memory flew towards the sky without any nostalgia, and disappeared on the ceiling of the cabin in a blink of an eye.

There are still many dead souls wandering around in the room. Roy and Jasper carefully identified them. Some are dead crew members, and there are also Janna Sea Clan and elves...

Seeing so many wraiths, Jasper's face turned pale.

With the power of his holy light, it is impossible to purify so many dead souls.

His panicked appearance was not completely frightened by these ghosts.

Seeing the ship as a cemetery was the reason for his great fright.

Roy's biggest worry was that the ship had been in port for three or four days. Obviously, they would never stay in Castletown port for too long.

The high tide tonight is about three o'clock in the morning, and this sea boat can leave the port just at the time when the fishing boat enters the port.

All the oars in the oar room are ready, and the storage room is also full of food. It is obvious that all preparations before the trip have been made...

They had invited Jasper to come this evening, probably because they wanted him to purify some of the dead souls on board, and then...they hadn't thought of letting him go.

Roy's arrival was a buy one get one free. The two exchanged glances again, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.

The two started running almost at the same time, and they were less than three meters away from the oar window.
Before the second officer and the seaman could react at all, they rushed out without turning back. The two of them were so thin that they could just slip out through the window of the oar.

The second after Roy's body slid out of the window, his mood completely fell to the bottom.

A huge trawl net lay in front of the two of them, and Jasper and Roy fell into the net in no particular order.
