271. Death of Ralph

In just a few days, the Black Pearl had changed a lot, the sides of the hull were covered with a vine that was not affected by the wind and waves, but the peculiar thing was that the taprhizome of the vine would tremble violently as soon as you touched its leaves or rhizomes with your hand.

Woods called this creeper a fearful vine that grows deep in the dense forests of the southern Elven Continent.

Woods used the forces of nature to accelerate its growth, and in just five days, the hull was completely covered with a layer of such vines.

At the top of the Black Pearl's ship, Woods cultivated some of the plants, and eighteen flowers of light were placed here.

Woods even erected a canopy, and Roy told him that if the Black Pearl sailed at sea in the future, he must build a sunroom so that she could eat vegetables while sailing at sea.

Every day, Woods uses the power of nature to perform a ritual on the mainmast called 'Life Awakening'.

It looked ritualistic, and Roy soon noticed that the mainmast had wet water stains, flowing from the heart of the tree, and it felt slimy to the touch, like glue.

Woods crouched down in front of the mast, sniffed his nose, turned to Roy, who was standing behind, and said:

"The mast has already reacted a little, but it may take a drop of the Fountain of Life to bring it back to life."

"I've heard of the sap of the Tree of Life, and it can be found in Castletown, but where can I get the Fountain of Life?" Roy asked, somewhat puzzled.

Woods blinked, feeling for the first time that Roy didn't look like a resident of the Elven Continent at all.

"The three royal cities of the Elven Continent, Buenos in the Silver Moon Elf Country, Enohus in the Dark Moon Elf Country, and Danassus in the Wood Elf Country all have the Fountain of Life, but if you want to get the Fountain of Life, unless you are the royal family of the Silver Moon Elf." Woods said.

Roy patted his forehead, Buenos he hadn't even been......

"Can you buy it in the underground market?"

Woods spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. ”

Roy glanced at the mainmast, which had glowed with a little bit of vitality, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You can try your luck, how much life spring does it take to revive this mainmast?" ”

"A drop will do." "Actually, it's okay without the Fountain of Life, the wound has been repaired, and the heart of the tree is no longer a dead tree, it's like it's asleep," Woods said. ”

Hearing Woods say this, Roy let go of the hanging heart.

Tiffany had been standing behind the two of them, her fingers tangled together, and she was a little hesitant.

Roy and Woods finished discussing the mainmast and turned to look at Miss Tiffany.

"Roy, can I come with you to the Plane of Partington?" Tiffany asked cautiously.

"Of course you can, but if you're too far from the sea, can you stand it?" Roy felt that a fish out of water would not survive for long after all.

"It's okay to be prepared, I've wanted to get around on land for a long time." Miss Tiffany said happily when she saw that Roy readily agreed.

She had been on this boat for more than four months and would love to get out and about.

Seeing that Miss Tiffany was so impatient, Roy said:

"Alright then, we're heading to the Partington Plane next week, and we'll need to take a boat from Castletown Harbor to Partington Island, and then arrive in Paddestow via the Teleporters, and before we go, Woods and I will call you."

This time, the instructors were going to Hudi Island to take charge of the various assessment items of the field practice class, and they could not take time to go to Padsto.

At first, only Roy, Woods, and Sabrina went to Paddestow, but then Claire joined, and now there is another Miss Tiffany, and the team to the Partington plane is growing.

Roy looked up at the flowers of light on the roof of the ship, and said with some sorrow, "Woods, what will happen to these flowers of light while we are away?" ”

"It's good to keep them on the ship, but you have to find someone to water them regularly, I really don't understand, why this flower is only taken away by you, and when you bring it back the next day, Roy, are you sure you haven't done anything too much to these flowers of light?"

After saying that, Woods also stared at Roy very seriously.

"What nonsense, how can I have it!"

Roy replied, somewhat irritated.

……

Ralph, the gray dwarf, poked his head out of the sea and wiped the water from his face fiercely.

He felt that if he continued to soak in the sea, he would soon become a salted fish, and under the scorching sun, he would definitely be able to shine with sea salt.

Looking at the Seawolf from afar, he was eager to tow the big ship into the sea.

Now that the ship was covered with greenery, he wanted to tear the vines off his precious ship, but he couldn't......

He knew that there was a Naga merfolk living on the boat, but the mermaid was very alert, and every time he tried to get closer, she would wake up immediately.

The room had two windows, and when you opened either window, you could immediately escape into the sea.

He didn't want to startle the snake, so he didn't do it.

As he was thinking about how to get the Seawolf back, Captain Ralph suddenly felt a cold aura lingering in his heart, as if he had been targeted by a poisonous snake.

He jerked to look out into the sea, and saw an ugly face suddenly appear in the depths of the sea, and a Naga warrior with a long thorn twisted his fishtail and rushed towards Captain Ralph like a sharp arrow.

The Naga man and the Naga woman are completely two of the most extreme existences.

The male Naga's face resembles that of the Great Demon of Hell, and their bruise-purple faces are covered with scales, and they can't even make a smiling face.

Female Naga is also known as mermaids, they are almost the embodiment of beauty, people often say that the most beautiful race on land is elves, the most beautiful race in the ocean is mermaids, this sentence is to exclude male Naga......

This Naga assassin is none other than Roy's old acquaintance, Xiu.

He knew Captain Ralph, who had led a group of human crews to raid the women of their tribe.

Hatred also grew little by little from then on, and what he saw and heard on the Seawolf later made Xiu's hatred for this group of humans reach its peak.

He came to Castletown Harbour, but he didn't expect to meet Captain Ralph, and he came this time...... It was to visit Tiffany.

Unexpectedly, in the shallow sea area, he actually bumped into Captain Ralph.

He hid in a crack in the rocks at the bottom of the sea, silently observing the situation around him, and made sure that there were no accomplices of Captain Ralph around, so he sneaked under Captain Ralph's feet.

It's just that he didn't hide the hatred in his eyes in the sea, and Captain Ralph felt it.

Captain Ralph did not let up in the slightest, he tilted his head and took a deep breath, and then plunged headlong into the water.

He had no armor on his body, no war hammer in his hand, and an axe in his right hand.

Captain Ralph is very good at the water, with both hands on the water, and can dive flexibly in the sea.

When Xiu saw Captain Ralph diving into the sea, he didn't dare to get too close, but just swam back and forth around Captain Ralph, looking for the best time to attack.

In this way, from the evening, the two were in a stalemate until late at night.

Xiu is a Naga who lives in the sea, and he doesn't feel tired swimming around in the sea, and he can easily catch some fish and shrimp and stuff them into his stomach when he is hungry.

But Captain Ralph couldn't, although he was full of energy, but the long time he soaked in the sea made his body gradually dehydrated, and he did not eat or rest for a long time, and kept diving into the sea to confront the Naga warriors.

Captain Ralph did not dare to swim towards the shore of the harbor, so he was trapped in place.

Late at night, the sea gradually cools.

Captain Ralph also realized that if he continued to be in such a stalemate, he must be the first to stand up.

He tried to rush up and quickly take out the Naga warrior, but he never found a chance, and every time he tried to rush forward, the cunning Naga warrior would dive to the bottom of the sea and play hide and seek with him in the crevices of the rocks.

Captain Ralph was so angry that he wanted to smash all the rocks on the ocean floor......

……

At the strong request of Tiffany and Woods, Roy agrees to grill the fish for the two again.

Before the charcoal fire could be lit, Sabrina and Moira ran aboard the Black Pearl, and they brought a few mackerel from the fish market, so the simple dinner turned into a barbecue dinner.

Miss Tiffany even went into the sea to catch some scallops and oysters herself.

At the last barbecue dinner, Roy made a simple garlic scallop dish to let Miss Tiffany know that scallops can still be eaten like this......

When night fell, everyone sat on the side of the boat, talking and laughing and eating grilled fish.

When Moira was crowded, she would crouch beside Roy without saying a word.

She had long been accustomed to Roy's way of barbecuing, and with her by her side, Roy saved a lot of trouble......

"Roy, do you hear anything in the distance?"

Moira said to Roy as she crouched on the edge of the oven and tucked the cooked shells onto a plate with a tong.

Roy calmed down and listened carefully to the movements around him, except for the chatter on the deck, the sound of waves after waves.

Roy shook his head......

"There seem to be two big fish over there that keep splashing."

Moira pointed to the sea and whispered to Roy.

"Don't you say I forgot, Tiffany, you've had to dry some dried fish for the last two days, and there's nothing in Padstow except fruit!" Roy shouted to Tiffany, who was sitting on the side of the ship.

Tiffany drank a little ale.

She drank very little, and when she drank a little, her face turned red, and then she couldn't hold her elf form, and a long tricolored fishtail peeked out of her skirt.

"Got it, it's really verbose......"

Tiffany was clearly drunk.

She saw some seawater underneath the boat, so she jumped directly from the side of the boat seven or eight meters high and jumped into the sea.

The moment she entered the water, Tiffany had already come to her senses, and the water below was only knee-deep at most, which was not enough for her to relieve the rush of a jump, and if she didn't do it, she would have to plunge into the sand at the bottom of the seabed, and if she hit the rocks headlong, it would only be considered Tiffany's bad luck......

Tiffany spat out a string of incantations, and before she could see how she drew the magic pattern, a wave actually appeared under her body, dragging her body like the sea.

The waves turned into a water-shaped war horse on the surface of the sea, and Tiffany was lying on the horse's back, and was carried by the war horse and ran out dozens of meters away.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting for Tiffany to swim back, the sound of fighting in the distance gradually became clear.

……

Roy's face changed slightly, and he looked at Moira, who looked worriedly at the dark sea.

Roy no longer hesitated, stood up and rushed to the side of the ship, reached out and grabbed a vine beside the boat, and slipped down the creeper vine.

Sabrina and Woods also realize what is happening at sea in the distance, and Sabrina follows Roy's movements and slides down the edge of the ship.

Woods jumped forward on the boat, and actually jumped directly into the sea, and at the moment of entering the water, Woods's body changed into a sea lion, diving into the sea very smoothly, and rushed to the place where the sound of the fight came from.

Both Roy and Sabrina followed, swimming hard.

Moira stood on the boat, looking at the sea with a worried face, so anxious that she was about to cry, but she didn't dare to go into the sea......

……

Xiu didn't expect Tiffany to suddenly appear......

Her presence broke the deadlock instantly, and Captain Ralph seemed to have found an outlet for his emotions, and with all his strength, he slashed his axe at Tiffany.

Tiffany's face turned pale with fright, she didn't expect that she would get into such a big trouble with just a slight jump.

Like a sea beast hiding in the dark, Captain Ralph suddenly appeared and opened its fangs......

Tiffany let out a short spell, and she slapped one hand on the neck of the water-form warhorse, and in an instant, countless cold breaths made the warhorse freeze into ice, and the ice horse crashed headlong into the oncoming Captain Ralph.

Miss Tiffany jumped into the ocean early.

The axe slashed at the head of the ice crystal warhorse, and the ice horse shattered into slag, and countless ice slags fell into the sea.

Captain Ralph was blown white by the ice......

Captain Ralph didn't dare to pay attention to Miss Tiffany, and turned to meet Xiu who pounced on him from behind, only to find that he had condensed a layer of ice on his body, and even his movements were much slower than usual.

If it were on land, Captain Ralph wouldn't have paid any attention to the ice magic.

But now that he is soaking in the seawater, he is unable to move, and now he is wrapped in a layer of ice, which makes him unbearable.

Captain Ralph seemed to force out the fighting spirit in his body, shattering the ice shell on his body, and as the ice shell shattered, the Naga warrior actually appeared behind Captain Ralph, and the spikes in his hand pierced Captain Ralph's neck.

Captain Ralph was aware of it, but he was not good at working in the sea......

What could have been a problem that could have been solved with just an elbow blow, Captain Ralph hardened his head and reached for the Naga warrior's spikes.

The spikes pierced Captain Ralph's palm, and Xiu grabbed Captain Ralph's shoulder from behind, wrapping his body around Captain Ralph's body.

Tiffany waved his hand and threw two ice arrows in the sea......

As the Naga warrior hugged Captain Ralph, two ice arrows plunged into Captain Ralph's shoulders.

Captain Ralph and the Naga warriors fought their way to the surface.

The Naga warrior Xiu dragged Captain Ralph to the bottom of the sea......

Then, like a spider web, the ice shell condensed and spread like a giant umbrella cover in the sea above Captain Ralph's head.

Captain Ralph's face was ashen, and now he had exhausted his strength, wrestling with the Naga in the sea, and his body sank to the bottom of the sea little by little......

……

Woods was the first to arrive on this side of the battlefield, when he saw a Naga warrior dragging a gray dwarf to the bottom of the sea.

The gray dwarf kept spitting blisters in his mouth, and it seemed that he had drunk a belly of seawater, and the gray dwarf's hands kept clawing in the sea, trying to find the last straw.

It's a pity that his strength to struggle is getting smaller and smaller.

Woods swam to Miss Tiffany's side for the first time, and saw that everything was normal except for her paleness.

It's just that the two can't communicate normally in the sea.

Roy and Sabrina also arrived in time for Roy to look at Captain Ralph's face, and Roy was stunned in the sea.

Unexpectedly, Captain Ralph managed to escape from prison.

But when he came out of prison, he didn't seem to be doing very well, he had no armor on his body, and he didn't have a weapon in his hand......

At this time, he is making a final struggle...... Needlessly struggling.

Captain Ralph also did not expect that after being a slave trader all his life, he was dragged to the bottom of the sea by a Naga warrior and drowned himself.
