Path of Light.

Chapter 70 71. Black Pearl

"You two boarded the Sea Wolf?"

Roy straightened his waist with the handle of the bamboo stick, and looked at Jasper in surprise.

Jasper proudly moved the bench back to its place, and said to Roy:
"Of course, I made a special trip to the port guard to inquire about this, and I was sure that the ship was abandoned, and it was not considered trespassing on private territory."

Roy couldn't believe it, and asked, "If such a big boat is thrown on the beach, is it true that no one wants it?"

Jasper stopped altogether and whispered to Roy:
"When Abt and I went to the port guards yesterday to inquire about the situation, those guards were still worried that we would be entangled by the ghosts on board."

"Actually, they have also submitted an application. They want to ask the priests of the Moon God Temple to perform a purification ceremony on this abandoned ship to remove the dead souls left on the ship."

"However, the priests of the Temple of the Moon God think that since the ship has been completely abandoned, it should be completely sunk into the bottom of the sea. In that case, there is no need to perform the soul purification ceremony."

"So when Abbott and I said that we were trainee priests in the Temple of Liberty, the captain of the elf patrol of the guards entrusted Abbott and me to deal with the dead souls on this ship. Although there was no extra reward for this commission, But from the moment we boarded the Sea Wolf, that ship was ours."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and added:
"It belongs to the three of us."

Abbott also echoed: "Of course, there must be a share of Roy."

Jasper continued: "So, in the next period of time, we will not only purify the dead souls on this sea ship, but also repair this sea ship."

"I plan to turn this ship into a stronghold for the three of us. At least the windows and doors of the ship building have to be repaired. I have checked it out. It can be furnished with three bedrooms. The captain's cabin can be our activity room."

Hearing Jasper say so much, Roy still felt a little unbelievable, muttering to himself:
"Such a big ship really belongs to us?"

Jasper put his arms around Roy's shoulders and said happily, "Of course, do you want to go and see now?"

"Okay!"

……

Originally, the temple held a gathering every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Seventh.

It was only after the Holy Light of the Statue of Liberty was gone that Priest Reed reduced the temple's gatherings to twice a week. Now that the holy grail in the temple is lost, even the twice a week gatherings are almost unsustainable.

At the end of the assembly, the believers left one after another, and the three priests also went back to their rooms to rest.

The three trainee priests cleaned the inside and outside of the temple, and then ran out heartlessly, planning to take a look at the Sea Wolf on the beach on the west side of the port.

As Jasper walked, he also told the two of them some ideas about the transformation of the Sea Wolf.

Roy felt that Jasper had put so much effort into transforming the Sea Wolf because he must have wanted to date that naga mermaid Tiffany on this ship...

But he couldn't handle it by himself, so he and Abt were also brought in.

He wanted to ask Jasper if something indescribable happened with that Miss Tiffany the afternoon before yesterday?

However, I felt that a few priests were talking about this in the vestibule of the temple, and they somewhat disrespected the goddess, so they wanted to ask after they walked out of the temple.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the gate, Roy saw a carriage parked on the street opposite the temple.

When Roy looked up, Claire opened the door and got out of the car to wave to him.

The three trainee priests walked over, and Roy introduced Claire to Jasper and Abbott.

Claire invited the three of them to sit in the carriage, which just fits four people.

Claire tactfully explained to Roy:
"Sorry, Roy, my family members are all believers of the goddess Elune. Although they don't mind me making a few priest friends, they don't let me enter the Temple of Liberty without authorization, so I can only wait for you at the door."

Of course Roy knew that Claire must have found the heavy armor when he came here at this time, and he couldn't wait to let him try it on.

"Didn't you say you brought it to the academy tomorrow morning? Why did you bring it here in the afternoon?" Roy asked casually.

Claire smiled and said, "I just didn't have any classes, so I chose a few sets, you can try them on..."

After finishing speaking, he dragged out the big box that was put in the magic pocket, but obviously this box was a bit big, and there were four more people squeezed in the carriage, so it obviously couldn't fit.

Jasper saw the big suitcase under the feet of the four of them, turned his eyes and invited Claire:

"It's too narrow here, why don't you go to our stronghold and have a seat."

"You still have a stronghold?"

Roy also found that he was sitting in the carriage and couldn't try on this set of heavy armor at all, so he said to Claire:

"Actually, you've seen it before, let's go, you'll know when you go."

……

The carriage passed through the pier of Castletown port and stopped at the small square beside the port.

The four young men got out of the carriage, walked westward along the beach for more than 500 meters, and came to the front of the Sea Wolf.

The Sea Wolf was stranded between the beach and the reef. Even if the tide was high, the water level here would not be able to take the ship to other places...

"Is this Sea Wolf yours now?" Claire asked.

There was originally a section of ladder extending downward from the left side of the ship. These sections of ladder should have been completed yesterday by Jasper and Abbott, but they didn't extend all the way down, even if they jumped up, they couldn't reach them.

Then Jasper pulled out another ladder from the bottom of the boat and hung it on the ladder extending down from the side of the boat, finally managed to make a complete ladder.

The four of them climbed onto the deck one by one, only to find that standing on the bow of the ship really felt different. The view here is wide and you can see the sea far away.

Basking in the sea breeze and basking in the sun, if the tide rises, you can still fish.

Jasper said with some pride: "The guards of the harbor guard gave it to the three of us as a reward, on the premise that we need to purify the dead souls on board."

Claire was pulling the suitcase out of the magic pocket, but when she heard Jasper say this, she was startled: "There are dead souls on this boat?"

His hand trembled, and the big suitcase fell heavily on the deck with a bang.

People are almost scared to sit on the deck.

Jasper laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, the dead souls on the ship are all in the cabin below the deck. In such hot weather, they won't foolishly come out to bask in the sun."

Roy walked over, patted Claire on the shoulder and said, "I'll invite you to visit the ship when we clean the ship inside and out."

Claire's complexion changed a few times before she forced a smile and said:
"Okay, it feels really good to stand on the bow of the ship. It would be great if this ship can also go to sea."

……

Abt curiously walked to the side of the big suitcase, and saw that Claire had lifted the lid of the suitcase. The top layer was a set of chain armor, so he reached out to pick up the top chain mail, and urged:

"Don't talk about that, let Roy try this suit of mail."

It would not be easy for Roy to wear this chain mail weighing more than 30 kilograms on his own.

It was only with the help of Abt and Jasper that he put on the heavy mail armor.

Jasper asked jokingly, "Oh, Roy, are you frightened by the slave traders on this ship, how did you think of wearing such heavy armor?"

Before Roy could speak back, Claire said from the side:
"Roy and I are going to duel with two nasty guys in the arena next week. This trial is to prepare for that duel."

Roy put on the chain mail, which felt very heavy, but not so heavy that he couldn't walk.

It's just that there are some effects on jumping, raising hands, and raising legs will be greatly affected.

This is a standard chain mail, similar to a long windbreaker. After Roy wears it, the hem of the chain mail extends to the calf, and the sleeves are a bit long. When Roy lowers his arms, the cuffs of the chain mail catch his eyes. Yi's palm.

After locking the buckles on both sides of the mail armor, Claire also took out a pair of chain gloves and a pair of chain boots from the box for Roy to try on.

The chain gloves are very suitable. Wearing such a pair of chain gloves, you really don't have to worry about slashing with rapiers and daggers.

The boots are a little big, but that's not a problem.

"Is there a hat missing?" Jasper stood aside, looked left and right, and said, "Roy, how do you feel? Can you still run?"

Roy tried to move his feet and replied: "You can jog, but you will be tired if you don't run very far."

Hearing what Roy said, Jasper immediately said: "So... as a priest, you are not suitable for wearing this kind of heavy armor. When we go out to accept commissions together in the future, we will save money to buy a decent priest. robe."

Roy ignored him at all, and directly cast the 'Blessing of Power' while wearing chain mail. Although the movement was a bit slow, practice makes perfect.

The divine pattern slowly turned into a golden fist and merged into Roy's body. Roy immediately raised his chest and said:
"It just feels so much better."

After speaking, he jogged around the deck twice, made some swings and blocks, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Jasper and Abbott had learned the 'blessing of power' for so long, but they never thought they could do it again.

"No wonder you want to learn 'Power Blessing'..."

Jasper watched Roy leaning on the side of the boat with both hands and looked out, and couldn't help but said.

"This set is not bad, just wear this set!" Roy said to Claire.

Then he jogged a few laps on the boat to get used to this set of mail armor in advance.

Claire said to Roy: "You have to wear it frequently these days. Wearing this kind of heavy armor requires an adaptation process..."

"it is good!"

A few people sat on the copper ram at the bow of the boat, and the sea in the distance surged up one after another, and the tide was about to rise.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the four people so long that even the waves in the distance were inlaid with golden edges. Behind them was the seaside manor built on a lonely cliff. The white castle looked very quiet and beautiful...

Jasper suddenly said:
"We should give this ship a new name!"

"Or else it's called the Black Pearl..."
