Path of light

Chapter 152 153.Plan

"Instructor Nora, I encountered a problem." Roy said tactfully.

If Instructor Nora frowned or didn't answer, Roy would politely say goodbye and then turn around and leave.

Instructor Nora opened her mouth with an intriguing smile, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked Roy:

"Did the remnants of the Kumquat come to your door and need me to help you solve it?"

The students on the training ground had almost left, and another group of senior students gathered towards the training ground.

Instructor Nora looked at Roy with great confidence.

Roy touched his face and asked in a low voice: "Is the expression on my face so obvious?"

Instructor Nora pointed to the corridor leading to Teaching Building No. 3, motioned Roy to follow her there, and said as he walked:

"Almost...tell me where you met those slave traders."

Roy forced out an embarrassed smile and whispered:

"Instructor, my current trouble...is actually not with those slave traders. However, I did see the magician who escaped from the Kumquat in the back streets of the college. It was just that he disappeared when I chased him out. I have already reported this matter to the police. The guards are over there."

Instructor Nora stopped, stared at Roy, and asked him with some dissatisfaction:

"The escaped magician appeared in Castletown City? Why... why are you telling me now? You should tell me about this as soon as possible! Roy."

Instructor Nora was silent for a while, and then said again:

"Now...tell me about your troubles!"

"Instructor Nora, two friends and I had a stranded ship on the beach. The ship once belonged to a group of pirates. At that time, the captain and first mate escaped... Now they have sneaked back. These days Tian has always lived on that boat." Roy kept the story short and introduced the situation on the Black Pearl.

Instructor Nora stared at Roy in surprise:

"You mean... there's a pirate captain and his men living on your ship?"

Roy nodded quickly: "Yes, I confirmed it last night."

Instructor Nora looked at Roy again, stretched out a hand to rub the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said to Roy:

"I understand! How is their strength?"

Roy thought for a while and replied: "The gray dwarf captain is very powerful, probably... probably..."

In fact, he didn't quite know how to describe it.

But when Instructor Nora heard the word ‘gray dwarf captain’, Instructor Nora immediately asked with a serious face:

"The two pirates you are talking about are the gray dwarf Ralph and the blood elf mage Udula?"

Roy was also startled by Instructor Nora's serious expression and asked cautiously: "Do you know them?"

"In Castletown, almost every guard team has wanted portraits of the two of them hanging on the wall. Since they have appeared again, I will help you with this matter." Instructor Nora frowned and said: "When are you going to take action?"

Roy was worried that Captain Ralph would run away and said quickly:

"If possible, then tonight..."

…

After making an appointment with instructor Nora and finishing his second geography class at the college, Roy ran to the entrance of the college and took a long carriage back to the Temple of Liberty.

While passing through the lower city, Roy saw many mixed-race elves taking to the streets and participating in protests.

It’s just that the unlucky ones this time were some stall owners who set up stalls on the street. Some stall owners closed their stalls early and then joined the protest march. However, some stall owners were slow to respond and were stopped by the protest march before they had time to close their stalls. The stall was smashed into pieces.

The entire downtown area became a mess, and the long carriage also detoured through several impassable blocks in the downtown area before reaching Brown Street with difficulty.

Roy jumped out of the car and found that Brown Street was quite quiet.

However, a large group of elves gathered in Castletown Port in the distance. Roy walked along Brown Street towards Castletown Port and found that a group of protesting mixed-race elves also gathered on the port pier. Now on the port pier It was also chaos.

Even in the small square next to Castletown Port, there were some excited mixed-blood elves who planned to rush to the seaside castle.

Roy ran to the port and saw that all the large ships parked on the deep-water docks had been ordered to prohibit the crew from disembarking.

The fishing boats at the pier in the shallow water area are densely parked on the pier, and no fishing boats can be seen going out to sea.

The fish market is also closed...

Unexpectedly, the murder of the mixed-blood elf girl by Priest Thorndike would lead to such a big conflict.

The elf guards were maintaining order. Roy did not enter the port, but followed the road on the edge of the port to the small square leading to the seaside castle. There were also some mixed-blood elves gathered here. They were stopped by a group of Silver Moon elf guards. We walked into a small square and simply sat in meditation in the square.

A group of Silver Moon Elf guards blocked the mountain road leading to the seaside castle, and Roy found Captain Simpson who was maintaining order.

The elf guards were just in a stalemate with the protesting mixed-blood elves, and neither party did anything radical.

Roy walked along the edge of the protesting crowd, squeezed in front of Captain Simpson, and shouted Captain Simpson's name.

Squadron Leader Simpson walked up to Roy and took him to a slightly quieter place:

"It's you, why are you here?"

Seeing Roy, Captain Simpson, who was riding a war horse, frowned.

Roy took the opportunity to get close to Squadron Leader Simpson and whispered to him:

"Captain Simpson, I'm here to tell you something. Last night we discovered that the gray dwarf captain and blood elf mage on the Sea Wolf seemed to have sneaked into Castletown Port again, and were still there later. Stayed one night on the boat..."

Captain Simpson felt cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Thinking of the castle dance the night before, luckily the castle's security had been strengthened, and he secretly secretly exclaimed 'lucky'.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Captain Simpson asked Roy.

The night before yesterday, Roy just said that he found some clues on the ship, and just guessed that Ralph and Yudula sneaked back to Castletown Port.

"When we saw you the night before, they were no longer on the ship. We didn't dare to confirm it at that time, and you were on guard duty at that time. We were only sure it was them last night." Roy quickly explained: "They were there during the day I won’t stay on the ship, but I might come at night, so I thought if it’s convenient for you, we can go together at night.”

Squadron Leader Simpson looked up at the scorching sun above his head, reached out and patted Roy on the shoulder before saying:

"I know, this protest march will end before dark. I just have time tonight. I will catch them no matter what this time..."

Roy did not expect that Captain Simpson would agree so readily, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Captain Simpson:

"Thank you so much for helping!"

Captain Simpson motioned Roy to the edge of the small square and said to him:

"Actually, we can't rule out that they came back this time to carry out some revenge against Princess Ophelia. No matter what they want to do, we'd better keep them here, otherwise they will always be an indispensable part for us. The threat of neglect…”

…

Captain Simpson agreed to help, which was an unexpected surprise for Roy.

Returning to the temple, Roy walked into the main hall and told the matter to High Priest Reed who was praying in front of the Statue of Liberty.

Jasper was also praying with High Priest Reed, and was shocked when he heard Roy mention that Captain Ralph actually lived on the Black Pearl last night.

The early warning facility he set up could only notify him that something alive had boarded the ship, but it was unable to directly confirm the identity of the other party like Roy.

"Roy, how did you do it? Is this why you said you were going to give someone a gift yesterday afternoon?" Jasper asked.

"Well, that's why!" Roy replied calmly.

Grand Priest Reed stood in front of the Statue of Liberty and said nothing. He just said silently: "We are the spreaders of the Holy Light, so we must remember at all times; 'Be kind and uphold justice.' "

With that said, he turned around and walked out of the main hall without saying a word.

Roy didn't expect that High Priest Reed would say such an ambiguous sentence. Jasper, who was standing next to him, was also confused and couldn't understand what High Priest Reed was thinking.

The two followed High Priest Reed out of the main hall.

High Priest Reed, who was standing on the steps in front of the main hall, suddenly turned around and said to Roy and Jasper:

"As the high priest of the Temple of Liberty, I do not recommend your actions tonight."

"But as your teacher, especially since both of you were held hostage by them, of course I have to settle this matter with them."

Roy was relieved...

"Roy, what are your plans?" Jasper asked Roy.

"Before this, I have invited instructor Nora from the Elf Academy, and I also met Captain Simpson at the Seaside Castle. They both agreed to come to help at night," Roy said.

The three of them walked along the path to the backyard of the temple and continued to discuss the plan to deal with Captain Ralph.

…

At this time, Captain Ralph was hiding in a cave formed by a reef not far from the Black Pearl...

Originally, Captain Relf planned to grab a ship nearby after dawn and quickly leave Castletown Harbor.

However, they finally waited until dawn, but then they sadly discovered that there was not a single fishing boat out to sea in Castletown Port.

The two of them waited from morning to noon, but could not see even a single fishing boat.

Not only that, even the big ships didn’t make any movement.

After the sea water rose, most of the hidden cave in the reef was submerged by the sea water. The two of them could only huddle together soaked in water. No fishing boat passed by, so they did not dare to run out. Fortunately, there was no shortage of fish in the reef area. Food, for gray dwarves, those shells on the reef are also very delicious.

"Wait a little longer. We will sneak back to Castletown Harbor at night and grab a boat to go to sea at night..."

Captain Relf pried an oyster from the rock and sucked it into his mouth.
