171. Board the ship
Castletown Harbour Pier, where a seagoing ship sailing from Pallam Island docks.
Benjamin the Magician was in line to disembark, and the trip to Pallam Island did not go as smoothly as he had hoped, and it took him two days to meet the lookout on the Kumquat, and the rest of the crew did not see him.
He didn't even meet Ralph the grey dwarf, and he had to return to Castletown to find a way......
The afternoon sun shines on your body and makes you feel very comfortable.
As soon as Magician Benjamin stepped off the ship, he saw a brig docked on the dock, this sea ship was particularly exquisitely built, the bow turned out to be a unicorn ramming, the sails on the mast were also brand new white canvas, and the mast was even covered with a safety net, and the shipbuilding occupied a third of the whole ship, and the four corners of the ship's building were hung with delicate magic table lamps.
The ship was less than forty meters long, but it was extremely ornately designed, and it was supposed to be a sea ship on which the upper elves were riding.
Benjamin the Magician stopped and looked at the ship with a greedy look in his eyes......
A group of young Silver Moon Elf nobles appeared at the top of the ship, and Benjamin immediately withdrew his gaze.
Edith was standing on the ship's floor, the ship was about to leave, and most of the invited guests had already boarded the ship, but Roy and Claire had not yet arrived.
The butler came to Edith's side and asked in a low voice:
"Miss, the tide has risen, can you set sail?"
Edith looked at the end of the harbor and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wait a minute."
The butler respectfully replied, "Yes."
Several Silver Moon Elves sat in the pergola on the roof of the ship, with ice drinks on the round table in front of them, and saw Edith standing on the ship's top looking into the distance.
An elf asked curiously:
"Edith, who are we waiting for?"
Edith turned and responded:
"There are a few classmates who haven't arrived, they're attending a party at sea for the first time, and I'm afraid they won't find the Nautilus."
As he spoke, he saw a car speeding from Brown Street at the end of the harbor.
Roy sat in the carriage and kept looking in the direction of the docks.
"Claire, why don't you get up from your bed when the sun goes down into the sea?"
Claire, with two big dark circles under her eyes, curled up in the corner of the carriage with a tired face despite drinking a glass of Life Tree sap.
In the face of Roy's questioning, he didn't feel the slightest guilt, but said weakly, "No matter what, this piece is finished!"
After speaking, he stretched his waist and said to Roy, who was looking anxiously at the dock:
"Roy, come and give this song a name!"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to your ......"
The carriage continued to speed and drove straight into the harbor.
Finally stopping in front of the Nautilus, Roy jumped out of the carriage and saw a familiar figure walk into the grocery store on the docks.
He blinked vigorously, feeling that he might not have slept well in the past two days, and he actually looked like Benjamin......
This guy should be hiding in the city of Castletown, how could he risk running to the port docks.
When Roy was stunned, Claire walked out of the carriage, pushed Roy's back with both hands, and urged:
"Roy, don't be in a daze, we're on board!"
After saying that, he waved his hand at Edith, who was standing on the ship's tower and looking this way, and said loudly:
"Sorry, Edith, it's a little late!"
Immediately after, Claire and Roy boarded the ship.
The coachman also drove the carriage away from the dock slowly.
Edith waved at Roy and Claire, then turned to the butler waiting nearby and said, "Butler Alan, it's time to go."
On the deck of the Nautilus, a group of young elves heard the shouts below the ship and ran to the side of the ship, and when they saw Claire and Roy boarding the ship, they all greeted Claire warmly:
"Claire, it's you!"
"Claire, did you also receive an invitation from Miss Edith?"
Roy and Claire boarded the ship, and the crew waiting at the boarding gate quickly removed the sampan.
With a string of loud rattles......
'Dangdang!
Several crew members pushed the winch and pulled the anchor up.
The two crew members untied the oil-soaked twine, lowered the sail halfway, and adjusted the angle of the sail, and as the sail swelled, the Nautilus slowly departed from port.
Roy found that the ship had no oars, no long oars, the bottom awning was painted vermilion, and the cabin windows and the edges of the ship's sides were covered in a layer of metal.
The ship slowly descended the aisle, and Edith and Phyllis descended from the ship's building.
At this moment, although Claire has dark circles under her eyes, she is still surrounded by a group of enthusiastic elves, and everyone wants to chat with him.
Instead, Roy was isolated on the periphery, and no elves noticed him.
"I thought you missed the appointment......
Phyllis took two glasses of juice from the waiter and handed one to Roy.
"Sorry for the delay!"
Roy hurriedly apologized to Edith, after all, it seemed that this boatload of elves was waiting for the two of them.
Phyllis took Edith's arm, and the two silver moon elf girls, one cold and the other bright.
"Roy, are you sailing on a boat for the first time?" Phyllis asked tentatively.
Roy pointed to the Exocet boat on the dock in the shallow water and replied:
"I used to go out on that kind of flying fishing boat, and almost always went out in the morning and returned to Hong Kong in the evening!"
Edith saw that the young elf was looking this way, and said to Roy:
"Let's go, I'll show you the room, there are limited spaces on the ship, Roy, can you stay in a cabin with Claire?"
Before Roy could speak, Claire immediately responded:
"No problem......
Among the elves gathered around Claire, a young elf hurriedly said:
"Claire, you might as well share a cabin with me, my cabin is a little bigger."
The young elf on the side also chimed in:
"yes, Justin's cabin has a view of the ocean ahead! It's one of the best cabins on board."
"I'm still staying with Roy, and I'm partnering with him!"
After saying that, Claire came out of the group of elves, stood beside Roy, put her arm around Roy's shoulder, and said to Edith:
"Miss Edith, please take us to see the cabin, I need to catch up on sleep......
Edith nodded, turned and walked back into the cabin.
As soon as he was about to enter the cabin, he heard someone shouting to the two of them in the shipbuilding overhead:
"Roy, Claire, I'll be up there and blow the sea breeze!"
Hearing someone shouting his name overhead, Roy looked up and saw Bertha and Theresa huddled in a row of young elves, waving at them.
In the jungle of Malaga, Roy treats Bertha's injuries.
It was from Bertha's mouth that Roy heard that the Holy Grail of Wisdom was hidden in the house of Master Claire Latin......
The ship was obviously much smaller than the Black Pearl, but the interior of the ship was full of Silver Moon Elves, with a red carpet and elaborate curtains.
Roy and Claire's room was one level below deck, and the two of them were the last to arrive, and the room was next to the stern.
Many of the hatches were open, and the cabins were filled with young Silver Moon Elves, who stood in front of the hatches to greet Edith and Phyllis......
The cabin is a little small, but the interior is very delicately decorated, the upper and lower bunk beds are carved with this delicate pattern, the armrests are even ground out with a layer of pulp, the beds are covered with snow-white velvet blankets, and there are half a small table and a chair in the room.
"Roy, Claire, you two can live here
Is it?" Phyllis asked with a smile.
"Not bad!" Claire readily agreed......
When the ship enters the open sea, a dance party is held on the deck.
Until then, the two can rest in the cabin.
Edith and Phyllis then took their leave, and as the organizers of the event, there was still a lot for Edith to deal with.
Claire and Roy were soon left alone in the cramped cabin.
The two of them lived together in the jungle of Malaga for a month, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
When Claire had waited until everyone else had left, she threw off her boots and climbed barefoot onto the bunk bed, where she lay down and fell asleep with a tired face......
'Tuk tuk
There was a knock on the door, and Roy, who was sitting in a chair, stood up and pulled the door open.
A waiter stood in the hallway with a tray and said to Roy:
"Miss Edith asked me to bring you a refreshment, and if you need anything, you can always order it."
