Path of Light.

Chapter 57. The Mermaid's Kiss
When Jasper woke up, he was soaked in the seawater of the bilge...

It's just that he was held by Tiffany with both hands, and Tiffany was lying on his back on the bottom of the cabin, with soft lips sticking to his mouth.

Jasper faced down, and the moment he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of big blue eyes staring at him without blinking.

Although the air passed from Tiffany's mouth wasn't too much, it wouldn't make Jasper feel suffocated...

Jasper subconsciously embraced the Naga mermaid girl Tiffany, and subconsciously looked at the door of the bilge.

That door is being re-closed by the Naga Killer Hugh.

When the door was closed, Jasper noticed that the water was filled with a reddish color by a glimmer of light.

Just before the door closed, Jasper saw a hand protruding from the hatch, a pale right hand.

As the hatch was completely closed, that hand was completely isolated from the hatch.

Hugh put a spear across the door bolt slot of the cabin door, then swam to Tiffany's side like a big fish, pointed at the hole in the cabin bottom, and motioned her to get out first. .

At this time, other Naga mermaid girls left the Sea Wolf one after another along the entrance of the cave.

Wait for Tiffany to take Jasper out of the dug hole.

Before they could disperse, they saw some elf guards falling into the sea one after another on the dark sea...

The elves can almost swim, and when they fell into the water they hurried to the shore.

However, some injured elf guards fell into the sea and drowned.

At this time, some Naga mermaid girls who barely regained their physical strength swam over, pushed them above the water, and waited for the rescue of their companions...

Tiffany was going to take Jasper to the pier in the dark, but was led by Hugh to the pier in shallow water...

Together, the two naga pushed Jasper onto the dock floor.

Jasper took a big gulp of fresh air...

Hugh also put the ax and chisel beside Jasper, and took out a few Kohler shells and put them beside the axe.

Then he plunged into the sea, turned over a wave and disappeared into the dark sea.

……

The owner of the grocery store didn't fall back asleep after being woken up by Roy. He was still hesitant to run out to help. The grocery store was only a few tens of meters away from the wharf in the shallow water area.

The movement in the shallow water area was just heard by the owner of the grocery store.

He bravely came to the pier, and saw a half-breed elf lying there powerlessly.

There were wet axes, chisels, and even a few Kohlers beside him, so he quickly ran over, dragged Jasper to the door of the grocery store, and kindly gave him a blanket.

Then he took the broken ax and chisel and went to look for Roy at the pier in the deep water area.

……

Abt, who was sitting on the opposite side of the bed, straightened his eyes when he heard this.

For those Naga sea people with exotic customs, the elves who pursue perfection can be said to be very fascinated.

"That... Jasper, how did you feel after such a long kiss?" Abt couldn't help asking.

Speaking of this, Jasper became a little bit complacent, the corners of his mouth grinned when he said these things, and he said with a smile:
"Their bodies are cold, and the temperature of our bodies is a little different, and there are hard scales on their backs and upper arms. Hugging them is like hugging a female warrior wearing scales, but... it is indeed very fragrant. Yes, you don't know how charming she is..."

Abt put his thumb on his cheek, stroked his chin back and forth with his index finger, and said enviously:
"Wow, although I have a little sympathy for what happened to you tonight, but now I have to say, I'm a little jealous..."

Priest Reed tapped the table in the room with his fingers, making the three trainee priests in the room focus on him.

Seeing that everyone looked over, he said worriedly:
"Speaking of which, as a free trade port, Castletown Port has not been rectified for a long time. This time, it is estimated that the Castletown Presbyterian Home should have some new measures, which may have some impact on the lives of the elves in the lower city. "

Priest Reed's concern is not without reason, because every time the elders' house takes new measures, it is aimed at the half-blood elves in the lower city, and these new measures will be directly reflected in salaries and taxes in many cases.

The believers in the Temple of Liberty are almost all half-breed elves. Once they have less money in their pockets, they will have even less energy to become believers in the Statue of Liberty...

But these have little to do with the immediate interests of the three trainee priests, so the three don't care too much.

Priest Reed said again:
"About, you and Jasper usually take some commissions outside. Priest Theodore and I both know about this. We haven't talked about it usually, and we also think that these will help you practice magic. It helps, and it spreads the glory of the Statue of Liberty, so there's no objection."

His tone became heavier, and he set his eyes on Roy's face again:
"But now that something like this has happened, I have to remind you... and Roy, although you don't have enough magic to accept these commissions, I still want to say that you must carefully distinguish the commissions. difficulty, especially not being able to easily accept the entrustment of a sea-going ship."

"Otherwise, once you encounter slave traders or pirates, you may encounter big trouble."

The three trainee priests quickly and solemnly responded:

"Understood, High Priest Reed."

Then the High Priest Reed stood up and said:
"Okay, let Jasper have a good rest, Roy, do you want to stay here for one night, if necessary, let Abbott help you go to the warehouse to get a quilt."

Roy stood up quickly. He didn't want to worry Ms. Belinda, so he said, "Master Reed, I can walk home..."

"Well, be careful on the road."

After the High Priest Reed finished speaking, he left Jasper's room.

……

Roy walked home in the dark. The crew of the Sea Wolf was still being arrested at the port pier, but there was no movement on Brown Street.

The several street lights on the street are far apart, and the range that can be illuminated is also very limited. Most of the time, Roy needs to walk through the dark.

When he saw the familiar buildings on the street, even his steps became lighter.

The injuries on his body have not fully recovered, and his clothes have become a set that doesn't fit well. Roy is worrying about how to go home. If Ms. Belinda sees herself in this state, she will be very sad. It is best don't let her know...

As Roy walked, he thought about how to deal with Ms. Belinda...

Unknowingly, he walked to the front of the pharmacy at the intersection of the street, and he stopped habitually.

This time, Roy didn't look at the small nest in front of the store, but at a corner at the street.

It wasn't that he noticed any movement there, but he smelled a strong smell of fish and blood. He stopped and looked at the shadow over there...

Seeing Roy, the night saber bravely came out of its nest again, baring its teeth and growling at the dark corner of the street.

Roy took another two steps in that direction.

Sure enough, the Naga Killer Xio swam out from the shadows, with a huge fish tail that was so strong and powerful.

The nightsaber was scared again and hid in its den.

Seeing that it was the Naga killer, Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to him:

"Could you please stop being so scary when you appear again in the future?"

Judging by the dull expression on Naga Killer's face, he couldn't understand at all.

He stared at Roy blankly.

The two can't communicate at all...

Roy also didn't understand what this Naga killer was going to do...

Hugh didn't get too close, but only moved forward for a certain distance. Roy's tall body made Roy even thinner.

He stretched out two arms forward, holding a silver-plated scepter in one hand, and a crystal ball the size of a coconut shell in the other.

Two hands were sent in front of Roy.

It wasn't until Roy took the two items over that he retracted his arms.

The Naga Killer turned and swam back to the dark street corner.

The two didn't even have any communication.

When Roy turned to leave, he saw at a glance that there were two scimitars hanging from his waist, and at least ten spears on his back. It seemed...he was on the Sea Wolf. There is no shortage of loot picked up.

Roy lowered his head and looked at the two 'gifts' in his hands.

The scepter was very heavy in the hand, it felt a bit like the weight of a No. [-] sledgehammer.

With Roy's current arm strength, it is still very difficult to swing with one arm.

It looks a bit like a trekking pole, but the top is carved into a fist-sized crown, and in the middle of the crown is a crystal-clear red agate the size of a goose egg.

Roy thought that the material of the scepter might be silver.

I thought to myself: If the top is really a red agate, it may be worth some money.

The crystal ball in the other hand is not so special. This kind of crystal ball is very common in the free market. Many elves like this kind of handicraft. Buying one and taking it home and putting it on the bedside will make the bedroom look more beautiful. with style.

The only bad thing about this crystal ball is that the rusty cast iron skeleton arm under the crystal ball is a bit scary.

Looking at the gift given to him by the Naga killer in his hand, Roy did not expect that there would be unexpected surprises on the way home.

Of course, if the gift can be chosen, he would prefer that Naga Killer would give him a bag of Kohler...

……

When I walked home, I found that the lights in the studio on the second floor were still on.

Pushing the door and walking in, Roy stood at the top of the stairs and took a deep breath, and shouted towards the second floor:
"I am back……"

Afterwards, Roy quickly walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Roy, you..."

Ms. Belinda poked her head out of the studio with a carving knife in her hand, only to hear the sound of running water in the bathroom, she could only shrink her head back helplessly.

Roy, who was standing in the bathroom, was relieved when he heard Ms. Belinda's door close.

He simply wiped himself, put away the dirty clothes, and then tiptoed back to the bedroom.

Put the crystal ball on the square table.

But Roy thought the silver scepter was more valuable and put it in the closet.

Lying on the bed, thinking about the misfortune of the whole day, Roy only felt a little heavy in his head, and soon fell asleep.

The seed of light in his body was emitting dim holy light at this moment, and the two tentacles kept waving, diligently absorbing the particles of holy light in the surrounding air...

　It's on the shelves, and it will be changed twice a day normally in the future, and the rest will be added.
