65. Dare to love
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the large iron gate of the temple, and the courtyard walls on both sides were covered with lush dark cat vines, making the temple look a little old.
Abt and Jasper worked together to close the large iron gate, and the three midshippers stood side by side at the gate of the temple, looking at the harbor not far away.
Fishing boats enter the harbor from the sea and dock at the port's shallow dock.
A lot of elves waited in front of the docks, checking the catch that had been brought down from the fishing boats.
Jasper suddenly turned his head and asked Roy:
"Roy, would you like to see that Seawolf?"
"Are you going to the beach?" Roy was taken aback by Jasper and immediately replied reflexively, "Forget it." ”
Jasper put his hands on Roy and Abt's shoulders and swore by that:
"Believe me, that gray dwarf and elven mage must not dare to wander around the harbor, and they don't know us, isn't the second mate Nerev who knows us dead?"
Roy and Abt saw Jasper's expectant look and had to agree, "Okay then......"
After so many days had passed since the Battle of the Harbor, Roy knew that the Grey Dwarf Captain could not still be near the harbor.
And, as Jasper said, the captain and first mate of the Seawolf had never met either of them that night.
Passing through the lively harbour docks, the fish market is filled with a variety of fresh marine fish.
The old man, who often buys sea fish from Roy, sat in front of the stall and waved at Roy.
After walking through the crowded fish market, the trio finally came to the beach on the west side of the pier.
There are hardly any decent sandy beaches here, most of them are dotted with reefs, and further west you will find a steep cliff.
And that seaside manor was on top of the cliff, with a high wall built from the steepest point.
On the beach, the three of them finally saw the black ship stranded in the sand, and the elves on the pier had laid countless wooden rollers along the way to pull the boat to this side of the beach, and now it was abandoned on the edge of the reef.
As Roy approached, he saw the large hole that had been broken in the bottom of the ship, which was actually in the upper part of the closed cabin, and now looked dark.
The edges are clearly cut with an axe......
Roy stood on a rock, standing on tiptoe to see inside the cave and some of the stinky water in the boat.
The ropes and canvas on the ship had been removed, and many of the windows of the ship's building behind the hull had been broken, and it looked like there was nothing of value inside.
Except for the large hole in the bottom of the ship, there was no serious damage to the whole ship......
This sea ship is almost more than sixty meters long, the middle part of the deck is about ten meters wide, the middle of the hull is low, the two ends are slightly cocked, not counting the masts, it is about seven or eight meters high, there are five masts on board, the canvas has been removed, only some bare pillars remain.
There were still some dried blood stains on the side of the boat, and there were still some holes on the outside of the hull that had been shot out by spearguns.
Roy found that he could not climb to the ship from all sides, and if he wanted to climb to the deck, he would probably have to throw the hook and rope to the side of the ship, and then climb down the rope to the ship.
The three of them walked around the Seawolf before Abt sighed: "This ship is so big!" ”
Then he pointed to the broken hole and asked Roy and Jasper:
"That's where you got out?"
Jasper squinted, looking a little nostalgic for the experience: "Yes, the hole was a bit small, and Tiffany pushed me out before he swam out."
Roy pointed to a row of oars windows on the top of the ship, and behind that row of oars there were three circular windows, and said, "That Naga Sea Killer took me and climbed out of that window, and then we climbed down the outer wall of the ship into the sea......"
"It's kind of unbelievable that they're chasing you down Brown Street in the morning and getting you out of the Seawolf in the evening......" Jasper said.
Abt stepped on the reef, took a few steps back, looked up at the high side of the ship, and asked:
“…… Roy, how did you climb to such a high deck and fight them? ”
Pointing to the deep waters of the harbor docks, where a row of large ships are still moored, Roy said:
"Jumping ship, there are sea boats about the same height on either side, and the elven guards use hooks to connect the three boats together, and then everyone jumps on."
Abt patted the outer wall of the ship's hull and asked suspiciously, "Is this ship going to be abandoned here?" ”
Jasper stretched out his hand and asked, "What else can it do?" ”
The waves poured out through the cracks in the reef, and the tide was about to rise, and the distant sunset had sunk into the sea, and only a bright orange line was still on the horizon.
Several of the brightest stars appeared in the sky.
The waves came one after another, and there was a group of reefs more than ten meters away, and Roy thought that he might be dazzled, and he saw a slender figure.
Some shadows at dusk might give him the illusion, so he needs to make a careful look.
He turned around and looked carefully towards the reef area, only to see a Naga mermaid lying behind the reef, cautiously peeking in this direction.
Seeing that beautiful face, Roy patted Jasper on the shoulder, and suddenly asked him in a loud voice:
"Jasper, what if...... I mean, if that mermaid girl suddenly came out of the sea to find you...... What will happen to you? ”
Jasper smiled and replied without hesitation, "I'll pounce on her and give her a big hug, after all...... After all, she was the one who rescued me from the boat. ”
"Don't you have anything else in mind?" Roy couldn't help but quip.
"Idea ......"
Jasper was about to answer, when he suddenly felt Roy's eyes always looking behind him, and he couldn't help but turn his head sharply......
Just as half of Tiffany's face poked out from behind the reef.
"Tiffany'......"
Jasper let out a shout and strode away.
He opened his arms and hugged Tiffany, who was leaning out of the rocks, and laughed happily.
Abt looked enviously at the Naga mermaid who was only willing to poke out of the reef pile, and wanted to walk over to say hello, but Roy grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards the harbor in the opposite direction.
……
The two textbooks that Roy bought from the back street of the college were almost full of notes.
There are many blank spaces where passages of text are recorded, but much of the content is a concise summary of some historical events, and there are few that can clearly describe this period of history.
So Roy decided to go to the library to read some related books, otherwise once he was asked to go on stage to talk about the Renaissance era of the Elven Dynasty, he would never be able to just stand on the podium and listen to the other team members talk......
The next day, when I came to the Elf Academy, I still took the elementary martial arts training class first.
With Moira's help, Roy's primary martial arts have improved rapidly in the past few days, and when he practiced with Claire, the wooden sword in his hand could always be pointed at Claire's chest unexpectedly.
Claire's strength is not enough when she fights, but her speed is okay, but everyone only learns two sets of moves, and she can hardly play any tricks when she fights.
Claire pulled away Roy's wooden sword from his chest, sideways to avoid Roy's slash, and tried to use the tip of the sword to pick Roy's wrist, but Roy blocked it with a backhand......
The two played back and forth on the training ground.
"Roy, do you want to join the Academy's Adventure Commune?" Claire asked breathlessly.
"I don't want to!"
Roy said it succinctly.
Claire asked, "Don't you want to go out and have an adventure?" We can go to the outskirts of the city on weekends to explore the castles or ruins, which is very interesting. ”
Roy snorted, not wanting to bother with him at all.
Claire saw that Roy was indifferent, and continued:
"I submitted my application to the Adventure Commune, and since I was involved in that battle in the harbor last week and shot a crew member with a longbow, they approved my application, and I would like to introduce you to them as well."
"Me? Forget it, I don't have time on weekends. ”
Roy replied casually.
Claire's shuriken was knocked off by Roy's wooden sword, and Roy's wooden sword rested on his shoulder.
Claire paused, raised her hands, and pushed his wooden sword away......
"Think about it, it's actually quite good to join the Adventure Commune."
Claire continued.
"Don't go!"
Roy replied to him again dryly.
……
After the geography lesson, Roy didn't rush back to the temple as soon as possible.
Instead, come to the Castletown City Library.
The library is just across the street from the Elven Academy, diagonally opposite the main entrance to the left.
The building resembles a four-story square birthday cake, shrinking inward with each floor, but the outer walls of the building are covered with elaborate reliefs, and the outer ring of each floor is vaulted with Roman columns.
From a distance, the whole building is full of quaint and luxurious atmosphere.
The students of the Elven Academy often go to the library to read books, and the collection of books here is also very complicated, covering almost all the subjects taught in the Elven Academy.
The entrance of the library is a wide gentle staircase, and when you walk in from the main entrance, you can see a counter nearly fifty meters long in the lobby on the first floor, and at least ten librarians are standing behind the counter, providing borrowing services to the elves who come to borrow books.
The marble floor of the hall on the first floor was about six or seven meters high from the dome, and the total height of the huge bookshelves was at least five meters, and the interval between each bookshelves was about three meters.
Almost every bookshelf has this type of tripod ladder between them......
Most of the books in the hall on the first floor are some basic knowledge, among which music, art, and poetry books occupy about half of the entire hall.
Roy walked up to the front desk and, with the help of an elf lady, spent a hundred Kohler on a voucher.
