Path of Light.

Chapter 43 43. Prison
Under the sky,
Castletown Harbor Wharf,

There are still some people busy on the pier at night.

Everyone is used to the occasional shout or two from the boat.

Like playfulness, or punishment, in short, this kind of thing is not in the security affairs handled by the elf patrols, and there is no regulation that does not allow the crew to shout on the ship.

If it really caused a very bad impact on the dock, at most it would be to drive away from the port.

Such a large ship is docked at the pier, and the crew will come out to buy a lot of supplies every day. Who would not like the Castleton elves who rely on the port pier for a living?

As for those noisy and noisy voices, wouldn't you not hear them if you turned your head away?

……

The heads of some crew members poked out from the side of the ship.

Everyone was laughing when they saw two sprites on the fall arrest net with some fishhooks on them.

Obviously, everyone is used to this kind of scene, no one will be furious, there is no abuse, and no one will beat the two of them with a long pole.

Everyone hurriedly pulled Jasper and Roy from the fishing net onto the deck. As long as the two of them didn't shout for help, the crew had no intention of doing anything.

Fishing nets are wrapped around Roy's body, and there are countless small fish grooves hanging on the fishing nets. Many fishhooks pierced Roy's clothes during his restless struggle, and pierced into his flesh. As long as he struggled, he would pull the flesh Get up... it hurts.

Although he hummed in pain, he still tried his best to keep his mouth shut and didn't yell.

Jasper next to him was not so lucky. He started to cry out for help as soon as he lay in the fishing net, and was directly hit by a crew member with a five-meter-long wooden pole on his lower abdomen. Now his whole body is still intact. Bowed like a shrimp, cold sweat drenched all over his body.

Some crew members helped them untie the fishing nets, those crew members didn't care if they were in pain or not, they pinched the small fish ditch and backed out directly, their movements were extremely skillful...

Jasper also cried out in pain because of this.

Luckily, Jasper wasn't stupid enough to sit on the deck and shout for help.

Not to mention whether the patrols could hear or not, it is estimated that the two of them would be directly slaughtered by the crew.

They are a group of murderous pirates.

Roy sat on the deck with his face covered in blood. After the fishing net tied to his body was untied, the crew took away everything and tied his hands and feet with hemp rope.

Roy felt that if he fell into the hands of these pirates, he might be dead...

As the fear of death lingered in his heart little by little, the feeling made him weak all over, and he felt that he couldn't stand up with both feet.

His heart also began to beat rapidly, and even his breathing became short of breath. Thinking that he hadn't been able to enjoy life well when he came to this world, and that he was going to die at the hands of these pirates, he had regrets and regrets.

Lights were lit on Castletown Harbour.

He took a long look at Brown Street, but he couldn't say a formal goodbye to Ms. Belinda.

Thinking that my side is about to be sunk into the sea, the seaside aristocratic manor next to the port pier is lit up with gorgeous lights, and there is the faint sound of a piano...

Roy regretted coming to this world, and he hadn't had time to hold hands with the soft elf girl and go shopping together.

The burly body of the second officer blocked the lights on the boat, squatting in front of the two of them, a huge shadow enveloped the two of them.

He turned his head and glanced at Roy, then pinched Jasper's chin with his hands and lifted his head up:

"I said a long time ago that it's best not to wander around and look around. Now it's fine... It's really troublesome! I thought the elves could be smarter."

The second officer felt that Roy was just a little follower, seeing him lying on the deck honestly, he didn't even bother to look at him.

The hands and feet of the two were firmly trapped.

Roy thought he would cut his throat with a knife, tie stones to his feet, and throw them directly into the sea. Unexpectedly, the second officer said at this time:
"Shut them up in the bilge, tie them up firmly, and be careful not to let them escape."

Four burly crew members picked up their heads and feet and walked down the stairs to the deck below.

Roy counted carefully, and there are actually three floors below the deck of this big ship...

There should be a sealed cabin at the bottom, but in the corridor of the cabin on the second floor, there is sea water that is almost not as deep as the thigh. The four crew members walked in the corridor, almost all of them wading through the water.

Open the front hatch, there is also waist-deep seawater in the bilge, there is no light around, only a strong fishy smell can be smelled, and the air in the bilge is very turbid.

Before Roy could take a closer look, he was roughly thrown into the seawater in the bilge by two crew members.

Roy's body was covered with small wounds pierced by fishhooks, and he fell into the sea, screaming in pain...

The two crew members quickly fished Roy out of the sea. One of the crew members whose arms were almost as thick as Roy's thighs raised his hand, but was grabbed by his companions.

The two said a few words that Roy couldn't understand...

"Don't slap him. We still have to take them out to sea. Nelev needs the two of them to purify the wraiths on the ship."

"Then gag his mouth!"

"Just use their socks..."

"Hahaha……"

So Jasper and Roy, the two unlucky guys, were taken off their boots by the four sailors, their socks were pulled down into balls, and they were stuffed into their mouths again. A bandage was tied to prevent them from spitting out the socks.

Even the bandages were removed from Roy's arm...

Then they hung the two of them like pork on the iron hooks hanging from the main keel armor. The two of them were hung in the bilge like pork, and their thighs were still soaked in sea water.

After confirming that the two of them were tied very firmly, the four crew members waded through the water in the hold for another round before leaving...

As the cabin door made a muffled sound in half of the sea water, the entire bottom cabin was once again plunged into darkness.

……

In fact, when he was hoisted, Roy found that he and Jasper were not the only ones locked in the hold, with slight breathing, panting, moaning, and crying...

The sound of that hatch closing was like a signal for all the voices to open.

Roy even heard the sound of splashing water. Enduring the pain in his body, he struggled to move, and his body hung on the hook turned half a circle.

Although there was no light in the bottom cabin, he did have holy light. When he output the holy light to his palm, a ball of flame immediately illuminated the bottom cabin, which was half filled with sea water.

Jasper was hanging not far from him, the iron hook hanging from a keel in the center of the hull, hooked on the rope between their hands, which would make the rope tighter and tighter. , and it is not easy to break free.

Both Roy and Jasper's legs were soaked in the smelly sea water. Jasper was repaired by the crew on the deck. I stabbed him in the lower abdomen, and now he is in a miserable state, his right eye is swollen, and there are some blood stains on his face.

Then Roy looked behind the hold, only to find that there were actually many Naga mermaids hanging in the hold.

The bodies of these Naga mermaids are much longer than Roy and Jasper. This is due to their beautiful fish tails, so they are tied with their hands and hung on the iron hooks. Their bodies below the waist are actually immersed in the water. Yes, it would at least keep them from dying of dehydration.

There are at least a hundred such tied up Naga mermaids in the entire hold, and almost all of them are young mermaid ladies, covered with a layer of light blue scales, the scales on the shoulders, upper arms and ribs are the clearest, the chest and abdomen It looks exceptionally white and delicate.

Naga mermaids are similar to elves. Because of their blood and talent, Naga mermaid girls all have a pure face.

The lines of their abdomen are the most charming, matching the streamlined fishtail below.

Roy almost shouted: 'Nami! '

Of course, his mouth was blocked by a sock.

Contrary to the ugliness of the Naga men, the Naga mermaid girls are almost all good-looking, which is probably the main reason why the slave traders ventured to the sea to catch them.

There was about half of the seawater in the bottom cabin, and the hands of those Naga mermaids were tied behind their backs with ropes, collars around their necks, and chains hanging from the ceiling.

The situation is much worse than that of Roy and the others.

The bilge was filled with rotten and fishy smells, and the sound of splashing water could be heard from time to time.

Those Naga mermaids were surprised to see Roy and Jasper hanging in the hold...

However, Roy later discovered that the state of these Naga mermaids was already very bad. Some were completely unconscious, some had a very weak breath and looked dying, and some were staring at the two of them warily.

In particular, a holy light lit up in the palm of Roy's hand, which made some Naga mermaids feel shy and wanted to bury their heads in the sea water, staring at the light with awe-inspiring expressions.

Roy was a little dumbfounded, and quickly dimmed the holy light in his palm.

Until now, Jasper and Roy knew that this large ship was indeed a slave ship.

But there are no elves on board, all of them are some Naga mermaids.

And it’s not surprising that the Naga killer appeared on the beach in Castleton harbor, and also specialized in assassinating human sailors...

Roy suddenly thought of one thing. The Naga killer has now sneaked into the ship, and it is in the storage room behind the kitchen on the first floor of the deck.

The socks on his feet were stuffed into his mouth, making it difficult for him to breathe.

There was no place on his body that didn't hurt. His hands were hung up by iron hooks. He didn't feel much at first, but after hanging for a quarter of an hour, Roy finally knew that it didn't feel good.

The muscles on the arm began to ache and spasm, but if he didn't exert any strength, the joints of the arm seemed to be broken.

Roy felt that the ligaments in his arms had been completely strained. If he wasn't released from the hook in time, the two arms would be completely useless.

Roy tried to struggle, but unfortunately he couldn't break free...

At this moment, there was a clicking sound from the door of the lower cabin, as if someone was trying to pick the big lock of the cabin door.

It didn't take long to hear a crash, and all the iron locks and chains fell into the water.

Then the cabin door was pushed open by a large hand covered with scales, and a familiar figure slipped into the bottom cabin. Roy saw clearly the moment he entered the door, it was the Naga killer he met on the street in the morning ...
