71. Black pearls
"Did you two board the Sea Wolf?"
Roy straightened up with the handlebars and looked at Jasper with a look of surprise.
Jasper proudly moved the bench back to its place and said to Roy:
"Of course, I made a special trip to the harbor guard to inquire about this, and made sure that the sea ship was abandoned, not trespassing on private property."
Roy was a little incredulous and asked, "Is it true that no one wants such a big ship if it is lost on the beach?" ”
Jasper simply stopped and whispered to Roy:
"When Abt and I went to the harbor guard yesterday to inquire about the situation, the guards were worried that we would be haunted by the ghosts on board."
"In fact, they have also submitted an application to ask the priests of the Moon Temple to perform a purification ceremony on this abandoned sea ship to remove the souls of those left on the ship."
"But the priests of the Temple of the Moon God think that since the ship has been completely abandoned, it should be completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, in which case, there is no need to do the ritual of purifying the souls of the dead."
"So when I told Abt and Abt that we were the Cadet Priests of the Liberty Temple, the Elven Patrol Captain of the Guard entrusted me and Abt with the handling of the souls of the dead on this ship, and although there was no additional pay for this commission, the ship belonged to us from the moment we boarded the Seawolf."
After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added:
"It's for the three of us."
Abt also chimed in: "Of course, there must be Roy's share." ”
Jasper continued, "So, for the next period of time, we are not only going to cleanse the souls of this ship, but also to repair this ship. ”
"I'm going to turn this ship into a stronghold for the three of us, at least the windows and doors of the building part of the ship will be repaired, I've checked it, and there are three bedrooms in it, and that captain's room can be our activity room."
Hearing Jasper say so much, Roy still felt a little incredulous and muttered to himself:
"Such a big ship, really belongs to us?"
Jasper put his arm around Roy's shoulders and said, "Of course, do you want to go and see it now?" ”
"Okay!"
……
Originally, the temple held a meeting every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and July.
It was only later that the Lady of Liberty was gone, and Grand Priest Reed reduced the temple meeting to twice a week, and now that the chalice in the temple is lost, even the two weekly meetings are almost unsustainable.
When the assembly was over, the believers left one after another, and the three priests went back to their rooms to rest.
After cleaning the temple inside and out, the three midshipmen ran out of the door to take a look at the Seawolf on the beach on the west side of the harbor.
Jasper walked as he walked and told the two of them some thoughts about the transformation of the Seawolf.
Roy thinks Jasper must have gone to such great lengths to rebuild the Seawolf that he must have wanted to date Tiffany, the Naga mermaid, on this ship......
But he couldn't do it alone, so he and Abt were brought in.
He wanted to ask Jasper what unspeakable had happened to Miss Tiffany the afternoon before yesterday?
However, I felt that a few clergy were talking about this in the vestibule of the temple, and they were somewhat disrespectful to 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 side of the street across the temple.
When Roy looked up, Claire pushed the door open and slipped out of the car and beckoned to him.
The three midshippers walked over, and Roy introduced Jasper and Abt to Claire.
Claire invited three people into the carriage, which could seat just four people.
Claire euphemistically explains to Roy:
"I'm sorry, Roy, my family is all followers of the goddess Elune, and although they don't mind me making a few priest friends, they won't let me enter the Liberty Temple without permission, so I can only wait for you at the door."
Of course, Roy knew that Claire must have found a heavy armor when she came over at this time, and couldn't wait for him to try it on.
"Didn't you say you brought it to the academy tomorrow morning? Why did you send it here in the afternoon? Roy asked casually.
Claire smiled and said, "I just didn't have any lessons, so I chose a few sets of them, you can wear them and try them on......"
After saying that, he dragged out the large box packed in the magic waist bag, but obviously this box was a bit big, and there were four more people in the carriage, obviously a little too much to fit.
Jasper saw the large suitcases at the feet of the four of them, and with a turn of his eyes, he invited Claire:
"It's too narrow here, why don't you go to our base and sit down?"
"You still have a stronghold?"
Roy also found himself sitting in the carriage and couldn't try on this heavy armor at all, so he said to Claire:
"Actually, you've seen it too, let's go, go and find out."
……
The carriage passed through the Castletown Harbour Docks and stopped at the small square next to the port.
The four young men got out of the carriage and walked more than five hundred meters west along the beach before they came to the Seawolf.
The Seawolf ran aground between the beach and the reef, and even at high tide, the water level here would not be able to carry the ship anywhere else......
"The Seawolf is yours now?" Claire asked.
The left side of the boat had a section of ladders that Jasper and Abt should have done yesterday, but they didn't go all the way down, and even if they jumped, they couldn't reach it.
Jasper then pulled another ladder from the bottom of the ship and hung it on the ladder that extended down from the side of the ship, and finally managed to make a complete ladder.
One by one, the four of them climbed onto the deck, only to find that standing at the bow of the ship felt really different, and the view here was so wide that they could see the sea far away.
The sea breeze blows, basks in the sun, and if the tide rises, you can also go fishing.
Jasper said with some smugness, "The Harbor Guard guards have given it to the three of us as a reward, provided that we need to cleanse the ship of the souls." ”
Claire was pulling the suitcase out of her magic fanny pack, and was startled when she heard Jasper say this: "There are dead souls on this boat?" ”
His hand shook, and the large suitcase landed on the deck with a thud.
The man almost sat on the deck in fright.
Jaspaha laughed and said, "Don't worry, the souls on the ship are all in the cabins below deck, so they won't run out to bask in the sun in such a hot weather." ”
Roy walked over, patted Claire on the shoulder, and said, "When we clean this ship inside and out, we will invite you to visit this ship when the time comes." ”
Claire's face changed a few times before she reluctantly smiled and said:
"Well, it feels good to be at the bow of the ship, if only this ship could go to sea."
……
Abt curiously walked to the side of the large suitcase, and saw that Claire had lifted the lid of the suitcase, and the top layer was a set of chain armor, so he reached out and picked up the top chain mail, and then urged:
"Don't talk about that, let Roy try this chain mail."
This piece of chain mail, which weighs more than thirty pounds, is really not easy for Roy to wear on his body if he wants to wear it alone.
It was with the help of Abt and Jasper that he was able to put on the heavy chain mail.
Jasper quipped, "Oh, Roy, were you frightened by the slave traders on this ship, how did you think of wearing such heavy armor?" ”
Before Roy could fight back, Claire said on the side:
"Roy and I are going to duel two nasty guys in the Colosseum next week, and this tryout is to prepare for that duel."
Roy put on chain mail and felt very heavy, but not so heavy that he couldn't walk.
It is that some effects on jumping, raising hands, and lifting legs will be greatly affected.
This is a standard chain mail, similar to the style of a long trench coat, after Roy wears it, the hem of the chain mail extends to near the calf, the sleeves are a little long, when Roy hangs down his arms, the cuffs of the chain mail look at the palm of Roy's hand.
Locking the buckles on both sides of the chain mail, Claire also took out a pair of chain gloves from the box and a pair of chain boots for Roy to put on.
Chain gloves are quite suitable, and with such a pair of chain gloves, you really don't have to worry about the cutting of swords and daggers.
The boots are a little bigger, but they're not a problem.
"Is there a hat missing?" Jasper stood aside and looked left and right, and said, "Roy, how are you feeling?" Can you still run? ”
Roy tried to move his feet and replied, "You can jog, but you will be tired if you can't run far." ”
Hearing Roy say this, Jasper immediately said, "So...... As a priest, you are not suitable for wearing this kind of heavy armor, and when we go out together to take on commissions in the future, we will save up money to buy a decent priest's robe. ”
Roy ignored him at all, and directly wore chain mail to cast the 'Power Blessing', although the movement was a little slow, but it could be regarded as practice makes perfect.
The divine pattern slowly turned into a golden-colored fist and merged into Roy's body, and Roy immediately straightened his chest and said:
"It feels so much better."
After saying that, he also jogged two laps on the deck, doing some swings and blocks, and it didn't feel like a problem.
Jasper and Abt had studied the 'Blessing of Strength' for so long, and neither thought they would be able to do so.
"No wonder you have to learn the ...... of 'power blessings'"
Jasper couldn't help but say as he watched Roy look out with his hands on the side of the boat.
"This set is not bad, just wear this set!" Roy said to Claire.
He then jogged around the boat a few more laps to get used to the suit of chain mail.
Claire said to Roy, "You have to wear it a lot these days, and you need to get used to wearing this kind of heavy armor......"
"Good!"
A few people sat on the brass ramming horn in the bow of the boat, and the sea in the distance was surging up wave after wave, and the tide was about to rise.
The sunset stretched the shadows of the four people for a long time, and even the waves in the distance were inlaid with gold edges, and behind them was the seaside manor built on a lonely cliff, and the white castle looked particularly quiet and beautiful......
Jasper suddenly said:
"We should give this ship a new name!"
"Otherwise, let's call it the Black Pearl......"
