Roy stepped onto the deck of the Black Pearl, and the last thing he wanted to see right now was Tiffany.

Miss Tiffany sat on the side of the Black Pearl, she wore a pale blue mermaid dress, with a gradient of color from light to dark with gold lines, which perfectly set off her figure, slim waist and hips.

She held the side of the boat with both hands, and said excitedly to Roy:

"Roy, I heard that you helped Xiu cut down a nightmare vine, this nightmare vine has been entrenched in that area for a long time, killing many Naga, and now you have finally cut it down."

"It was a coincidence, our boat was just about to spend the night next to that sea reef, if it hadn't been for Xiu running out and cutting down that nightmare vine, maybe we would have fought that group of water ghosts until dawn......"

Roy said with a dry laugh.

Tiffany saw that Roy's expression was a little unnatural, glanced behind Roy, and asked suspiciously:

"Where's Jasper? Why didn't he come with you? ”

Then, she couldn't wait to pull the shark-patterned dress on her body, show the outline of her legs, and said to Roy with a proud face:

"See? I've learned Transfiguration, and now I can walk freely on land, but I can't stay out of the water for too long......"

Roy noticed that the pale scales on her cheeks, nape of her neck, and arms had faded away, turning her skin white.

Aside from the lack of pointed ears, she is almost indistinguishable from an elf......

Roy had a wry smile on his face and said:

"Tiffany, Jasper is dead."

“……”

Sitting on the side of the boat, Tiffany's face changed, her body shook violently, and she almost fell into the sea......

She stared at Roy with wide eyes, emotional, grabbed Roy's shirt collar with both hands, and asked eagerly:

"When?"

Roy wanted to soothe Tiffany, who was almost completely out of control, but he didn't know what to do.

He didn't struggle, let Tiffany grab him by the collar, and said:

"The morning before yesterday."

Tiffany looked like he had been beaten with a stick, his body shook a little, but his eyes were fixed on Roy, and he asked, "How can this be...... How did he die? ”

"Someone cut his throat."

Tiffany has cyan scales on the back of her neck......

"Where is he now?"

"Western Suburbs Cemetery." Roy replied.

Tiffany asked Roy in despair, "Can you take me to see him?" ”

"Yes, you wait for me here, I'll go to the dock to find a carriage first......"

With that, Roy helped Tiffany to sit on the deck, and then he slipped down the ladder on the side of the ship and ran to the docks.

……

Even at night, horse-drawn carriages can be found at the Port Docks of Castleton.

It cost Roy a hundred Kohlers to hire a carriage willing to go to the cemetery in the western suburbs at this time, and even with such a high price, the half-blood elf coachman couldn't help but complain.

Roy had the carriage stop by the small square on the west side of the harbor pier, and then walked over with Tiffany and Co., boarding the carriage.

Presumably seeing that neither Tiffany nor Roy had elven pointed ears, the coachman gave them a few more looks.

The two sat in the carriage and could see that Tiffany was in a bad mood, and Roy didn't speak.

Only the sound of horses' hooves clattering on the cobblestone road and the sound of wheels crushing the cobblestone road.

The cemetery in the western suburbs was extremely quiet at night, and there was some dim light around the fountain of life at the gate of the cemetery, and Roy could even see some soul elves dancing around the fountain of life.

The coachman parked the carriage next to the fountain of life, and was reluctant to drive into the cemetery under any circumstances.

There was a grave keeper's hut, and the coachman walked to the hut with a lantern and sat down on a wooden chair at the door.

Roy takes Tiffany up the stone steps of the cemetery, where many neat cypress trees are planted, and behind each cypress tree is a grave with nameplates hanging from them, which look gloomy at night.

Occasionally, there are a few owl calls, which are even more creepy.

Tiffany's first visit to the Elves' Graveyard was with her hands clasped to her chest......

I don't know if she was too scared, or if it was too cold at night, her face turned blue.

Walking up the stone steps, she took out a water bladder and poured the seawater in the water bladder head-on, and suddenly her body was wet and her body regained some vitality.

From memory, Roy found Jasper's grave, where the newly transplanted cypress tree in front of it still had Jasper's nameplate on it.

Roy crouched in front of the cypress tree and showed the nameplate to Tiffany......

The nameplate was engraved with the name 'Jasper', and Tiffany, with one hand over her mouth, suppressed her crying, crouched beside the tomb behind, she leaned down, pressed her face to the grass of the tomb, and whispered:

"Jasper, I'm back, didn't you say okay, you're going to wait for me......"

Roy took a few steps back, letting Tiffany and Jasper in the tomb whisper.

It was a long time before Tiffany walked out of the tomb with a cold face and came to Roy.

She asked Roy:

"Who killed him?"

Roy walked back with Tiffany, and replied, "The Elven Patrol suspects Abt as the murderer." ”

"I'm asking you."

"Abt is the most suspicious, he has been missing for two days now." Roy hesitated, then continued, "I think if he were still alive, he would still come to me." ”

Tiffany's eyes flashed with anger:

"I don't care who killed Jasper, I want revenge!"

……

The carriage left the cemetery, and Miss Tiffany sat in the carriage, feeling a little calmer.

Tiffany looked at Roy and asked him:

"I want to know what happened between you during the time I'm gone."

Roy sighed softly and said:

"The three of us found a treasure map and a golden key in the Black Pearl, and we agreed to go together in a few years to find the treasure, and we divided the treasure map into two parts, one for Jasper and the other for Abt to keep......"

Tiffany asked, "The golden key in your hand?" ”

"Well, I hid it." Roy agreed.

Roy didn't tell Tiffany about Jasper's desire to go to the Dark Lands, but only about the conflict between Abt and Jasper that had accumulated recently.

Said that Abt might come back to get the golden key for him.

Tiffany bowed his head and said to Roy:

"I'd like to stay on the Black Pearl for a while......"

Roy said dryly, "Oh, yes, there are almost no elves who usually come to this ship. ”

The carriage stopped on the west side of the harbor dock, and Roy opened the door first and jumped out of the carriage to help Tiffany down.

After paying for the car, the driver drove away with his horsewhip raised.

Without saying a word, Tiffany walked towards the Black Pearl on the beach on the west side.

Roy didn't leave immediately, he stopped on the dock for a while, looking at the ships docked at the deep-water dock, wondering if Abt, who had obtained the entire chart, was on one of the ships.

……

Deep-water pier.

A large sea ship named 'Mosra', in the cabin of '07' on the first deck.

Wizards Benjamin and Abt huddled around a narrow square table, and the two disagreed a little about their next plan of action......

"Now the problem we need to solve is how to drive the Black Pearl away instead of taking the risk to take the Golden Key!"

Benjamin pressed his hand to the chart on the square table and said to Abt.

He brought Abutra in, in fact, to obtain the Black Pearl, and then go to Prison Island to rescue some of the Kumquat seamen, and finally set sail into the Endless Sea.

But now Abt is making a mess......

Until now, Abt was convinced that the Welsh magician was helping him go to sea in search of treasure, so Abt not only wanted Jasper's half of the chart, but also Roy's golden key.

"Welsh, listen to me, the golden key is also very important."

Abt spoke a little dryly, he took a sip of water from his cup, and continued:

"As for how to drive the Black Pearl, how simple it is, as long as we go to a nearby fishing port and hire some half-blood elf fishermen, they have experience in going to sea, and there must be no problem in becoming a crew member."

"But they don't know how to fight, but if we can hire a group of half-blood elves who are willing to follow us to the sea, it doesn't seem impossible to ......"

Benjamin said with a wink.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart:

'How the hell do you get the crew of Param Prison Island?'

If you want to return to the Roland Continent, you have to cross the endless sea, and without a group of experienced old sailors, you can't rely on the half-blood elf fishermen you have recruited.

But it's not impossible to take advantage of the half-blood elf fisherman for the time being!

It is also a fortune to rescue the old crew members on Prison Island and transport these half-blood elves back to the Roland Continent. ’
