153. Plan

"Instructor Nora, I've got a problem." Roy said euphemistically.

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

Instructor Nora cracked the corners of his mouth, with an intriguing smile, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and asked Roy:

"Is it that the remnants of the Kumquat have come to the door and need me to help you solve it?"

The students on the training ground were almost gone, 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 road leading to Building No. 3 and motioned for Roy to follow her in that direction, saying as she went:

"Almost...... Tell me where you met those slave traders. ”

Roy squeezed out an embarrassed smile and whispered:

"Instructor, I'm in trouble now...... Not the slave traders, but I did see the escaped magicians of the Kumquat in the back streets of the Academy, but they disappeared when I chased them out, and I reported the matter to the guards. ”

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

"The escaped magician appears in Castletown? You...... Why did you tell me now, you should have told me about it in the first place! Roy. ”

Instructor Nora was silent for a moment before he added:

"Now...... Tell me about your troubles! ”

"Instructor Nora, two friends and I have a stranded ship on the beach, which was once owned by a group of pirates, and the captain and first mate escaped...... Now they're sneaking back back, and they've been living in that boat for the past few days. Roy made a long story short and gave a brief account of the situation on the Black Pearl.

Instructor Nora stared at Roy in amazement:

"You mean...... On your ship lives a pirate captain and his men? ”

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

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

"I see! What about their strength? ”

Roy thought for a moment and replied, "That Grey Dwarf Captain is very powerful, probably ...... There are probably ......."

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

However, when Instructor Nora heard the word 'Captain Grey Dwarf', Instructor Nora immediately asked with a serious face:

"The two pirates you're talking about are Ralph the Grey Dwarf and Eudulla, the Blood Elf Mage?"

Roy was also taken aback by Instructor Nora's serious expression, and asked cautiously, "Do you know them?" ”

"In Castletown, almost every guard has wanted portraits of the two of them hanging on the wall, and since they are the ones who have come out again, I will help you with this." Instructor Nora frowned and said, "When are you going to do it?" ”

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

"If you can, then ...... tonight"

……

After making an appointment with Instructor Nora and taking his second geography lesson at the Academy, Roy ran to the entrance of the Academy and returned to the Statue of Liberty in a carriage.

While passing through the lower town, Roy sees a number of half-blood elves taking to the streets and participating in protests.

It's just that this time it was some stall owners who set up stalls on the street, some stall owners closed their stalls early, and then joined the protest procession, but some stall owners were slow to react, and before they could close their stalls, they were swept away by the protest procession.

The whole of Downtown was in shambles, and the carriage made its way around Downtown for a few impassable blocks to reach Brown Street.

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

However, in the distance, there was a large group of elves gathered in Castletown Harbor, and Roy walked down Brown Street towards Castletown Harbor, and found that a group of protesting half-blood elves had also gathered on the port docks, and now there was chaos on the port docks.

Even in the small square next to Castletown Harbour, there are a few excited half-blood elves who plan to rush to the castle by the sea.

When Roy ran to the harbor, he saw that the large ships that were parked on the deep-water pier had been ordered to prohibit the crew from disembarking.

The fishing boats at the wharf in the shallow water are parked densely on the wharf, and no fishing boats are seen going to sea.

The fish market is also closed......

I didn't expect such a big contradiction to erupt in the matter of the Thorndike priest killing the half-blood elf girl.

The elven guards were maintaining order, and Roy did not enter the harbor, but walked along the road to the edge of the harbor to the small square leading to the castle by the sea, where some half-blood elves were also gathered, and they were stopped in the small square by a group of silver moon elf guards, and simply staged a sit-in in the square.

A group of Silver Moon Elves guarded the mountain path leading to the castle by the sea, and Roy found the Simpsons Squadron Leader, who was maintaining order.

The elven guards were just at a standoff with the protesting half-blood elves, and neither side did anything aggressive.

Roy squeezed in front of Squadron Leader Simpson along the edge of the crowd of protesters, shouting Squadron 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, Squadron Leader Simpson, who was riding a war horse, frowned.

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

"Squadron Leader Simpson, I'm here to tell you something, last night we spotted the grey dwarf captain and blood elf mage on the Seawolf, who seems to have sneaked into Castletown Harbor again, and later stayed on that ship for the night......"

Squadron Leader Simpson felt the cold sweat on his forehead run down his forehead, thinking of the castle ball the night before, fortunately it was to strengthen the castle guards, and secretly exclaimed 'luck'.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me about it earlier?" Squadron Leader Simpson asked Roy.

The night before, Roy had only said that he had found some clues on the ship, and only guessed that Ralph and Eudulla had sneaked back to Castletown Harbour.

"When we saw you the night before, they weren't on the boat either, we didn't know for sure at the time, and you were on guard duty at the time, so we were sure it was them last night." Roy hurriedly explained: "They shouldn't stay on the ship during the day, but they may come at night, so I think if it's convenient for you, we'll act together at night." ”

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

"Got it, this protest will end before dark, I just have time tonight, this time I'm going to catch them anyway......"

Roy didn't expect Squadron Leader Simpson to agree so readily, and immediately thanked Squadron Leader Simpson:

"Thank you so much for helping!"

Squadron Leader Simpson motioned for Roy to walk to the edge of the small square and said to him:

"In fact, it can't be ruled out that they came back this time to take some revenge on Princess Ophelia, no matter what they want to do, we had better keep them, otherwise it will always be a threat to us that cannot be ignored......"

……

Squadron Leader Simpson agrees to help, which is a surprise for Roy.

Back at the temple, Roy walked into the main temple and told Archpriest Reed, who was praying in front of the Statue of Liberty.

Jasper was also praying with Archpriest Reed, and was shocked to hear Roy say that Captain Ralph had actually lived on the Black Pearl last night.

The early warning facility he set up could only notify him that there was something alive on board, but he couldn't directly confirm the identity of the other party like Roy.

"Roy, how did you do that? Who did you say you were going to give a gift to yesterday afternoon? Jasper asked.

"Well, that's for it!" Roy replied calmly.

Standing in front of the Statue of Liberty, Grand Priest Reed said nothing, except silently: "We are the propagators of the Light, so we must remember at all times; 'Be kind and just'. ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the main hall without saying a word.

Roy didn't expect Grand Priest Reed to say such a sentence ambiguously, and Jasper, who was standing next to him, was also confused, a little confused about Archpriest Reed's thoughts.

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

Grand 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 Grand Priest of the Temple of Liberty, I don't recommend your actions tonight."

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

Roy breathed a sigh of relief......

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

"Before that, I had already invited the Nora instructor from the Elven Academy, and I also met the Simpsons Squadron Leader at the seaside castle, and they all promised to come and help at night." Roy said.

The trio walked down the path to the temple's backyard and continued to discuss plans against Captain Ralph.

……

Captain Ralph was hiding in a cave formed by a reef not too far from the Black Pearl......

Originally, Captain Ralph had planned to leave Castletown Harbour as soon as possible after grabbing a sea ship nearby after dawn.

But they finally waited until dawn, but then they found that there was not a single fishing boat out of the port of Castletown.

The two waited from morning to noon, but they did not see a single fishing boat.

Not only that, but even the big sea ships did not make any movements.

After the sea rose, the reef cave had been flooded by the sea, and the two could only huddle together wet, without fishing boats passing by, they were even more afraid to run out, but fortunately, there was no shortage of food in this reef area, and for the gray dwarves, the shells on the reef were also very delicious.

"Wait a little longer, and in the evening we will sneak back to Castletown Harbour and grab a ship to go to sea at night......"

Captain Ralph pried an oyster from the reef and sucked it into his mouth.
