Path of Light.

Chapter 802 803. Captain Ralph

During this period, the gray dwarf bandits near Kui Island have been completely frightened by the griffin riders on the magic airship.

During the day, it is rare to see the gray dwarfs' ships appearing on the sea. They usually hide their ships in a secluded place far away from the island and go out to sea to fish at night, or send some dwarves to Que Island to investigate the situation on the island.

Few of the dwarves who landed on Kui Island were able to leave alive.

This is mainly because in addition to the construction of a more than 30-kilometer-long coastal defense embankment on Kui Island, there are nearly 10,000 half-elf warriors setting up fishing net-like guard posts in the dense forest in the southern part of Kui Island, and there are also secret posts set up by nearly 1,200 Dark Moon Elf assassins.

In fact, when the gray dwarf bandits sneaked into Que Island, the first people they faced were the Darkmoon Elf assassins.

Most of the gray dwarves would be wiped out in the jungle near the coastline by reconnaissance teams like Moira's.

While Moira was on duty last night, she saw another gray dwarf bandit sneaking into the dense forest of Que Island at night.

In fact, she had long wanted to let these intruders know that Kui Island was not a place they could come to. Unfortunately, these gray dwarf bandits were very stubborn, and there was an endless stream of wave after wave of gray dwarf bandits who wanted to enter the island for reconnaissance.

A gray dwarf bandit wearing black leather armor and covered in wet and rotten seaweed was pushed onto the beach by the waves under the cover of night...

As soon as he appeared on the beach, he was discovered by the Dark Moon Elf warrior hiding in the dense forest.

But this pile of seaweed obviously has no self-awareness. It keeps approaching the reef area, where there are many places to hide. Once it reaches the reef area, it may not land through the jungle entrance here.

The Dark Moon Elf warriors didn't want to let the merit slip away, so they imitated the calls of the night owls to contact the sentries near the reefs...

"Goo-goo-goo..."

Although the half-elf guards on the sea reef outpost wanted to curse in their hearts, according to the unwritten rule that 'whoever finds the prey first gets it', they could only carry longbows and stand on a conspicuous black reef.

Even though there was no bright moonlight tonight, the gray dwarf intruder still immediately spotted the half-elf guard on the sea reef...

He hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed his route, covered with seaweed.

He didn't dare to move further towards the reef area, so he moved cautiously towards the grass more than 30 meters away from the beach.

The gray dwarf intruder even left a wet trail on the beach. He expended a lot of energy to get into the grass. Just when he was trying to get rid of the sticky seaweed on his body, he suddenly felt a sharp object against his neck.

He twisted his body slightly and the sharp object pierced his neck.

At the same time, his arm was stabbed with a dagger.

He didn't dare to struggle violently, so he could only stop all movements and said in Elvish:

"I surrender, don't kill me!"

An oiled hemp rope was immediately put around his neck from behind.

He resisted a little, and the bayonet in his neck went deeper.

He quickly raised his hands to indicate that he would not resist any more, and the bayonet stopped again...

After the oil rope tied up the gray dwarf intruder tightly, the dagger that pierced his neck was suddenly pulled out.

At the same time, a bandage was quickly wrapped around his neck.

The wound did not touch the artery and trachea, so he immediately recovered his breathing. He turned around and looked behind him, but to his surprise, there was no one behind him.

Then the gray dwarf intruder's eyes suddenly turned black, and he was knocked unconscious by the Darkmoon Elf warrior and fell to the ground.

The Darkmoon Elf warrior happily dragged over a stretcher and moved the gray dwarf intruder onto it.

"I'll send him away first. Moira, you stay here for a while. Don't act rashly if you encounter any situation..."

Moira pursed her lips and said nothing, but gestured to the Dark Moon Elf warrior...

This was the 56th gray dwarf intruder they had captured this month. Moira didn't even want to see the face of that gray dwarf intruder. They all had a big nose and an ugly face.

Moira wiped the bloody bayonet and put it back into the scabbard outside her thigh.

Her body was hidden in the shadows and not exposed...

Sometimes she would encounter a group of gray dwarf bandits landing on the island. In that case, they would not hesitate to call on their companions for support.

But if it is a small vegetable that acts alone, she will get a little more merit by working together with her companions to eat it.

After a day and a night in the dense forest, there was basically no harvest during the day, and only at night would fish enter the net...

In fact, Moira was a little confused. Why did these gray dwarf bandits take the risk to land on the island so rashly when they knew that they would almost never return once they landed on the island of Que.

When it was daybreak, another patrol team came to take over the shift, and Moira followed the patrol team back from the dense forest. After the patrol team returned to the Assassin Corps camp, the first thing Moira saw was the gray dwarf intruder trapped on the big tree stump.

The bandage on his neck was made by Moira herself. He looked a little listless, but there were no more wounds on his body.

Moira stopped and looked at the gray dwarf intruder. After thinking for a moment, she slowly walked over and squatted beside him.

He had an injury on his arm, which prevented him from using his right arm.

When I was tied up with ropes, the wounds were still bleeding...

"Do you speak Elvish?" Moira asked him.

The gray dwarf nodded weakly.

Moira took out her kettle, unscrewed the lid, and poured the water on his face.

The gray dwarf bandit, his face covered in blood and oil, quickly raised his head and opened his mouth, letting the clean water flow into his dry throat.

"Don't you know that as long as you land on the island, you will most likely be caught by us?" Moira asked curiously.

"No... We know that once we land on the island, we can't go back." The gray dwarf said breathlessly.

"Then why do you keep sneaking onto the island? Do you know how much annoyed we are by your endless visits?" Moira frowned and questioned the gray dwarf bandit.

The gray dwarf bandit looked at Moira in surprise and said:

"We don't want to give this island to you for nothing..."

"So you have to choose such a stupid way to die?" Moira poured the last bit of water on his head, put away the kettle, and turned around and walked towards the seaside cabin without listening to what the gray dwarf robber said. This cabin was her only privilege on the island of Que.

The wooden house was built under a few coconut trees at the edge of the port pier.

Looking forward from the terrace in front of the cabin, you can see the most beautiful scenery in the southern part of Kui Island.

There were traces of Roy's presence in the room. He also left a small piece of wheat cake for Moira. The taste was not as good as the elf biscuits, but Moira still sat happily at the dining table and ate the wheat cake.

Even though she had been up all night, she wasn't very sleepy.

After taking a shower and changing into a cool and dry skirt, I sat on the rattan chair on the terrace, hiding in the shade, watching a magic airship dock and a team of gray dwarf bandits get off the ship.

……

Recently, there have been a number of gray dwarf bandits being captured. These gray dwarf bandits will not be sent to the Partington plane immediately, but will be detained separately and then undergo a series of interrogations by Roy.

Mainly, it's about the dwarven treasure...

Many gray dwarf bandits firmly believe that the dwarf treasure hidden by Ralph is actually hidden on the main island of Queen Eweni Islands.

But apparently there are also some gray dwarf bandits who think that Ralph is the craziest pirate leader among them.

The gray dwarf bandits all knew that Ralph was an out-and-out slave trader. He accumulated a lot of wealth in the process of slave trading, and he hid this wealth. The gray dwarves near Que Island all wanted to find Ralph's treasure.

An elven army forcefully occupied the island of Kuei. The gray dwarf bandits around the island even thought that Ralph's treasure was on the island. This half-elven army would capture the island of Kuei at all costs because they knew the specific hiding place of the treasure.

The real reason why the gray dwarf bandits secretly landed on the island of Kuei was that they thought Ralph's treasure was on the island of Kuei...

Roy came up with this answer after interrogating nearly a hundred gray dwarves.

"So they think Ralph's treasure is on the island of Kuei, so they keep sending gray dwarves to sneak into the island..."

Roy said in the captain's cabin of the Black Pearl.

This captain's room originally belonged to Ralph, and the bedroom behind the captain's room was Ralph's room. Originally, there was a sacred scepter, a divination crystal ball and a soul-binding bronze mirror in it.

Now the empty room is full of nautical charts drawn by Abbott.

Moira stood in front of the steering wheel in the captain's room. The steering wheel had been completely repaired. Now, if she turned it casually, the rudder at the stern would swing back and forth...

"So that's why you asked Tiffany to find out about the Sirens on the Isle of the Lost?"

Moira asked Roy.

"Aren't you afraid that she'll be in danger on the Isle of the Lost?"

Roy looked through the window in front of the captain's room and saw Miss Tiffany climbing onto the deck. He said:
"It may be a little dangerous, but with Tiffany's wisdom, I think all the troubles will be easily resolved..."

Moira was obviously not satisfied with Roy's words and wanted to continue arguing with him, but then she heard familiar footsteps coming from the stairs. Only Miss Tiffany would walk on the stairs with such light footsteps.

"I'm back! You two are actually here."

After Miss Tiffany rushed into the captain's room, she immediately hugged Moira.

Her hair was still wet. Although her mermaid-patterned skirt was dry, her body was stained with sea water, which made the skirt stick to her tightly.

"Roy, I have found out clearly this time that the sirens in the Lost Sea are actually a group of slave traders."

Miss Tiffany couldn't wait to tell Roy the news she had heard:
"They have been receiving all kinds of slaves from slave ships, whether elves, Nagas, or orcs, so the Lost Sea was originally a transit station for slave traders. The Sirens completely controlled that sea area. The Naga Sea Clan once organized two wars to fight for the Lost Sea, but those Sirens took advantage of the unique geographical environment of the Lost Sea and firmly controlled the Lost Sea."

"So did you go to the Lost Sea?" Roy asked curiously.

"I went there once, but I was not able to enter the interior of the Lost Sea. I could only peek at it from afar from the periphery."

Miss Tiffany felt a little regretful, and then she said with lingering fear:

"I was very careful... but even so, they still found me. They chased me with a group of moray eels. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and turned into a water element to escape..."

Miss Tiffany came to a sea chart, slightly expanded the scope of the Lost Sea, and introduced it again:
"There is thick fog all year round. The entire island group is shrouded in thick fog. I found that even the wind can't blow away the fog there."

She looked at Roy:
"So your magic airship has no way of entering the Lost Sea."

Roy rubbed his forehead...

Miss Tiffany continued:

"There are a lot of sirens over there. They hide in the fog and sing. Once a ship passing by is attracted by the singing and sails into the Lost Island, it will be difficult for the sailors on the ship to get out of the fog alive..."

"The only ships that can freely enter the Land of the Lost are the slave ships!"

Miss Tiffany gave Roy a conclusion.

Roy thought about it and asked her again: "If my ship is disguised as a slave ship, will there be a chance to sneak in?"

Miss Tiffany shook her head and said to Roy:

"I suggest you wait for Zeina to come before you go after the Sea of ​​Mist!"

She took Moira's hand and prepared to lead her out of the captain's cabin.

Roy asked in the captain's room:

"They said that Ralph and the Naga Sea Clan sank three ships of the Gray Dwarf fleet that were transporting treasures. Is this news true?"

Miss Tiffany patted her forehead and said to Roy:
"I almost forgot to mention... the Naga tribe did indeed obtain the dwarven treasure, but it was not the Naga tribe that pierced these ships. It was actually a group of sirens who pierced these three-masted sailing ships. It was just that they ventured out of the Lost Sea and were discovered by the Naga tribe's patrol team. The patrol team then called in a large group of Naga tribe warriors and planned to capture all of these sirens, but unfortunately most of them escaped."

"In addition, the gray dwarf treasure on the ship was indeed taken by a group of Nagas, but the treasure is worthless to the Naga sea people and is currently stored in Gomez."

"Ralph found out that the Naga tribe had obtained the dwarven treasure, so he sent a group of sea monsters to attack our village. I was kidnapped by the sea monsters at that time."

"Ralph wanted to use us to threaten the Gomez Naga Legion, but the talks between the two sides broke down..."

"So Ralph planned to sell us to Roland Continent."
