Path of Light.

Chapter 95 96. Sea
Roy returned to the pier in the shallow water area. This row of pier was built with wooden boards. The waves kept beating against the pillars below, and the splashed water carried the salty smell of the sea...

The morning sun peeked out from the clouds, there was no fog on the seaside, and the sun was a little dazzling.

While running on it, the boards creaked and jumped onto Boss Duke's fishing boat. Roy sat down beside the flying wing skillfully, and beckoned Jasper and Abbott to pick up the oars and sit on his boat. Front.

This kind of fishing boat is very similar to a canoe. It is made of a piece of giant wood into a boat shape with two pointed ends, and then the hull is made by hollowing out the middle and painting.

Afterwards, a rudder frame must be made at the stern, and the most special feature of this flying fish boat is that there is no main mast like a sailboat, but two flying wings are installed on both sides of the boat.

In fact, the flying wings are two small sails, and when there is no wind, wooden poles can be inserted to become paddles for paddling.

This kind of fishing boat is thin and long, and when sailing from the pier to the sea, it needs to be paddled for a while.

Captain Duke stood at the stern and controlled the tiller, and Roy, Jasper, and Abbott rowed the fishing boat out of the port with their oars. Except for the area where the boat was moored, Captain Duke stood at the stern to identify the wind direction. At this time Roy will unfold the flying wings on the left and right sides of the ship.

The sea breeze blows, driven by the flying wings, the flying fish boat flies out like an arrow.

This kind of fishing boat becomes amazing when it is pushed by the wind, it feels like riding on the top of a wave...

Jasper and Abbott have almost no experience of going out to sea in a fishing boat. They sat on the boat and shouted excitedly, watching the coastline getting farther and farther...

"Do you still have friends from the Dark Moon Elf clan?"

Although Boss Duke is also a mixed-blood elf, he is the kind of silver moon elf who only has a quarter of wood elf blood. Her grandma was a beautiful wood elf, so although his eyes are blue, but There is still a green thread in the pupil, which is very cool.

Likewise, he didn't like the Darkmoon Elves very much.

He believed that the dark moon elves living in the Evernight Forest were the culprits that caused the complete split of the elf dynasty.

After adjusting the angle of the flying wing, Roy tied the rope to the ship's side.

"Just met a few days ago."

When Roy said this, he smiled.

Thinking that he bought a bag of oranges for the Dark Moon Elf.

Roy then thought of the phrase, "This is the end of the matter, don't be sad, but there is no end to the road..."

Seeing that Roy was still giggling, Captain Duke was a little dissatisfied with Roy. This kid has a strong learning ability and is smart enough, but he is a little dissatisfied with his attitude towards the Dark Moon Elf ...

"It seems to be a ranger and a dark moon elf. Maybe it's an assassin. So...be careful when you touch it. The elves patrolling the pier are not blind. Don't try to challenge their patience." Captain Duke reminded Roy.

He knew that Roy was a smart man, and he didn't need to talk too much to chat with a smart man.

"Oh, I see."

Roy stopped the faint smile on his face, and looked at the sea in the distance.

The sea water here is extremely clear, like a magnificent sapphire, and you can see the three-meter-deep seabed at a glance...

However, the deeper the fishing boat travels into the sea, the darker the sea will become.

When the weather is good, the biggest trouble on the sea is the sun overhead. Flying fish boats rely on sea wind as power, and there is no sunshade on board.

Under the sun exposure, people who go to sea for the first time will easily get sunburned by the scorching sun...

However, for the three trainee priests of the Temple of Liberty, this kind of minor injury has become a bit insignificant, because the sacred shimmer released by the low-light illumination technique also has a weak healing effect, which can just relieve the pain on the body. sunburn.

Although the holy shimmer can heal the sunburn of the skin, it is not sunscreen. In just over an hour's voyage, the exposed arms and necks of the three of them were tanned by the scorching sun like cooked shrimp.

Captain Duke was covered in gauze, apparently already prepared for sun protection.

After the fishing boat arrived at the fishing spot, Roy put away the flying wing sails on both sides of the boat, and drifted on the sea.

Only then did Jasper run to the bow of the ship, standing at the front of the hull, he opened his arms and shouted: "So this is the sea!"

Roy reminded behind him: "No, this is just the sea. After the elves signed a peace treaty with the Naga Sea Clan, we elves can fish in the sea."

Then Roy also stood up from the boat, pointed to the dark blue in the distance on the sea, and said to Jasper:
"Did you see the dark blue sea over there? It is the territory of the Naga Sea Clan from there. If we trespass in that sea, if we are lucky, we will be driven back by the Naga patrols. If we are unlucky, we will be detained by the other party. , At that time, you may have to pay a fine to get out.”

"If you see Naga patrolling and resisting, you may be besieged by Naga warriors...it is very dangerous." Captain Duke also began to popularize the knowledge of going to sea.

At this moment, Abbott asked a little stubbornly: "So, why are those slave ships on the sea still sailing unscrupulously in the endless sea?"

"You can wait until you are caught by the Naga patrol, and ask them in person to get the answer..."

Roy responded with a smile...

"forget it……"

Abbott immediately became a coward.

Everyone took out the prepared hooks, fishing lines and baits, and sat on the boat to catch sea fish.

In fact, sea fishing does not require any skills. As long as there is an experienced veteran on the boat, it is easy to find the fish, register the bait on the hook, and as long as it is thrown into the sea, the fish will bite the hook immediately.

Of course, how to pull up the biting fish requires some experience.

The teeth of most carnivorous marine fish are very sharp, and it is easy to cut the thread with brute force...

Roy's luck was not bad, and soon he caught a sea fish weighing more than ten catties similar to a mackerel.

Although Jasper had no interest in fishing, he learned how to do it well with a fishing rod when he went out to sea for the first time.

Only Abbott was sitting cross-legged on the bow, with a sea chart that he found on his legs that he didn’t know where to find, staring at the area on the sea chart related to Castletown Port, and started Find the specific position of the fishing boat at sea at present.

Occasionally, he ran to Roy with a map in his hand, pointed to an area on the chart, and asked Roy, "Roy, are we here?"

It has to be said that Abbott's sense of direction is extremely poor, even though there is a tiny piece of land in the distance as a reference, Abbott still can't figure out the position and direction...

After tossing and tossing for a long time, I could only sit in the bow of the boat quietly in a daze.

Obviously the reality of the sea is too far from the imagination...

"I knew that the endless sea was huge before, but I never thought it would be this big." Abt sat on the bow, the map in his hand was crumpled by him.

Jasper put down the fishing rod in his hand, ran over and comforted him:

"So, listen to Roy and I's advice...that's right, we have to wait patiently for a good time to go out to sea by boat. This plan may take many years, but it doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time..."

Abbott sighed and didn't respond.

Obviously still obsessed with Captain Ralph's treasure.

Several people had a simple lunch on the fishing boat. Jasper and Abbott only ate two pieces of fruit, and only Roy and Captain Duke ate a little sashimi.

In the afternoon, everyone stopped fishing. Captain Duke took the three trainee priests for a circle in this sea area.

It was not until the sun was about to sink into the sea that Captain Duke hurried back with everyone...

……

In the evening, Roy pushed open the courtyard door with a mackerel in his hand, and walked a few steps into the courtyard, but he didn't see Moira.

Only then did he look up at the terrace, and he found that Ms. Belinda in a nightgown was lying on the wicker chair on the terrace and fell asleep...

Roy carried the fish into the kitchen, then climbed up to the second floor, took out a thin blanket from the bedroom on the second floor, and quietly covered her.

Ms. Belinda was wearing a silk nightgown, curled up on a chair, her hair was scattered, and there were even beads of sweat on the tip of her straight nose.

During this period of time, Ms. Belinda spent almost all her time and energy on putting her stone sculpture in the exhibition hall of the art exhibition, but Roy heard that Master Claire Latin was so ill that she was bedridden...

For an 837-year-old Silvermoon elf, he outlives most elves.

The art exhibition was also postponed again and again because of Master Claire Latin's illness.

Roy tiptoed downstairs and started to process the mackerel. He was going to make a pan-fried fish steak tonight, and he was going to report to the Elf Academy with a salute tomorrow morning. It is said that this outdoor practice will last about four weeks.

Put the marinated fish in the hot oil pan.

With a sound of 'zila', the unique fragrance of sea fish spread out...

When Roy put the fried fish steaks on the plate and was about to bring them to the dining table, he came back to make a pot of black tea. When he turned around, he found that Ms. Belinda was leaning against the door of the kitchen, with her hands folded on her chest, quietly staring at his background.

"what happened?"

Roy walked into the restaurant with a plate and placed the fried fish in the middle.

"The art exhibition may be on hold indefinitely, and my work may not have a chance to be exhibited..."

Ms. Belinda said somewhat sadly.

"Don't be too sad, there will always be a chance in the future, just so you can take this time to take a good rest." Roy said to Belinda.

After speaking, he helped her pull away the chair in front of the dining table, and asked Ms. Belinda to sit down. Roy took out the dinner plate and placed it on the dining table, made another pot of black tea, and sat opposite Ms. Belinda.

Ms. Belinda smiled, the loss on her face was beyond words...

Roy stood up and walked behind Ms. Belinda, gently squeezing her shoulder.

"From next week, we will start outdoor practice classes, and I may have to stay outside for a while..." Roy said.

Ms. Belinda asked curiously: "Where does the academy arrange for you to go?"

"Malaga Jungle."

Roy replied.

Ms. Belinda thought for a while, then told Roy:
"I will remember to buy a bottle of green herb ointment at the magic pharmacy at the intersection later. Although the monsters in the Malaga jungle have long been extinct, there are a lot of poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants in it, so we must take good precautions..."
