Roy floated in the sea, the night sky was starry, and the depths of the sea were like a lightless hell......

Not far away, the port of Castletown is brightly lit, and some sailboats at the deep-water pier are still carrying various supplies.

Roy and Sabrina are not so good at the water, so they can only float on the surface and wait anxiously, and they can't even see what is really going on at the bottom of the sea.

……

The Naga warriors dragged Captain Ralph to the bottom of the ocean, and Captain Ralph had a bloody hole in his palm with spikes in his hand and two ice arrows stuck in his shoulder.

Although the gray dwarf was born with brute strength, he was trapped in the sea, unable to be as agile as on land, and constantly poured seawater into his stomach when he was engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Xiu wanted to kill Captain Ralph with his own hands, and he pestered Captain Ralph to crash into the rocks at the bottom of the sea.

Miss Tiffany and Woods also descend to the bottom of the ocean with Xiu.

A large mist of blood appeared in the sea, and there was a long gash in Captain Ralph's forehead, and blood continued to come out of his forehead.

Even so, Xiu's arms were still tightly clasped around Captain Ralph's neck, and he didn't let go even though he was no longer able to struggle......

Miss Tiffany swam over and pointed to the shore on the west side of Castletown Pier, motioning for Hugh to tow Captain Ralph to shore.

Xiu nodded, and as Miss Tiffany had instructed, he dragged the upright Captain Ralph ashore.

……

Seeing Miss Tiffany and Woods swim out of the sea safely, Roy and Sabrina breathe a sigh of relief.

The group then helped Woods drag Captain Ralph's body to the beach, his body was very strong, his belly was like a bulging ball, and his mouth was constantly gushing with seawater.

When Xiu dragged him to the beach, Roy noticed that his heart was beating and breathing.

His face was frighteningly white due to excessive blood loss......

Captain Ralph was dressed in linen clothes that only half-blood elf fishermen would wear, and his feet were barefoot, presumably soaked in the sea for too long, and the soles of his feet and palms were full of uneven folds.

"He's Captain Ralph?"

Sabrina came up from behind, looked at the corpse of the gray dwarf, and asked Roy.

"Hmm."

Miss Tiffany asked, "Isn't he in Parram Island Prison?" How did you end up here? ”

Roy can only say the riot that happened on Pallam Island some time ago: "There was an escape from the Pallam Island Prison some time ago, and it is estimated that he escaped at that time. ”

"You've all escaped from prison, why do you want to return to Castletown Harbour, do you want to recover the Black Pearl?" Miss Tiffany asked, a little puzzled.

Roy shook his head and said:

"Maybe there was something else that attracted him, but unfortunately he died, and even if there was any secret, he could only be buried in a coffin with him."

Although Roy said this, he had the treasure map and the golden key in his heart.

……

The beach was close to the reef, where Miss Tiffany and Xiu hid and chatted for a while in Naga.

Miss Tiffany brought Xiu over, and compared with half a year ago, Xiu had changed a lot, he had two more spines on his shoulders, the spines on his back had become more prominent, and his body had become much stronger.

After fighting with Captain Ralph in the sea for so long, Xiu's strength is much weaker than that of Captain Ralph, but fortunately, in the sea, Xiu and Captain Ralph have been in a stalemate for so long, and Captain Ralph doesn't even have a decent weapon in his hand......

Xiu was wearing scale armor and holding two spikes in his hands, and his weapons and equipment had the advantage.

But even so, when Captain Ralph fought back, he still scratched Xiu's arm.

"Roy, Xiu's arm is suffering, can you help treat it?"

Miss Tiffany stepped forward and pleaded.

"Okay, come and show me......" Roy beckoned to Xiu and said.

The Naga Assassin was a bit restrained, the upper body of the Naga was similar to that of the elves, but with thin scales on the surface of the body, and the tail of the lower body was more than two long, and when it walked, it was like a snake, and it could slide back and forth on the beach.

Of course, it was not the first time that Xiu had dealt with Roy, and the sacred scepter and crystal ball in Roy's hand were given to him by Xiu.

There are also so many nightmare vines......

"The injury on the arm is not too serious, with a little treatment, it will heal quickly when bandaged."

Roy helped Xiu inspect the wound, performed a secondary healing technique, and said to Xiu.

Xiu couldn't understand Elfish language, so Miss Tiffany sat by and helped translate.

……

Captain Ralph died on the beach west of Castletown Harbour.

Roy ran to the harbor guard and informed the elven guards on duty about this.

The elven guard on duty reported the matter to the elven captain, and two elven guards hurried over......

Roy was crouching on the beach, speaking alone to the corpse of a gray dwarf:

"If you honestly squat in the Pallam Island Prison, maybe you can live for another hundred years, why bother sneaking out and losing your life now......"

“…… Even if you escape, you should try to get home! What are you doing here? ”

Two elven guards stood behind Roy and listened to the black lines.

The elven guards came to this side of the beach to check the identity of Captain Ralph.

"It's Captain Ralph who escaped from prison, go write a report tomorrow morning and hand it over, so that the arrest warrants of the guards about Captain Ralph will be removed." One of the elven guards commanded.

Another elven guard hurriedly responded, "Yes, Captain." ”

Later, the captain of the elven guard said to Roy, "Roy, we will submit an application for the bounty on the wanted warrant later, and I will notify you when it is sent." ”

"Okay." Roy agreed.

The captain of the elven guard then said:

"If nothing else, let's go!"

Roy was standing alone on the beach, a little dumbfounded.

He had thought that the elven guards would carry Captain Ralph's body away, but now ...... The elven guards prepare to leave, but they don't want to take Captain Ralph's body with them.

"Wait, that...... What to do with the body of that Captain Ralph? Roy hurriedly asked.

The captain of the elven guard stopped, turned to Roy and smiled slightly:

"The bounty on the wanted warrant will be given to you, and this body will be disposed of by you......"

……

The elven guards took only Captain Ralph's beard, left the whole body on the beach, and slowly returned to the guard.

Sabrina, Woods, Miss Tiffany's, Hugh, and Moira hid aboard the Black Pearl until the elven guards returned to Castletown Harbor and fled from the ship.

Roy bent over and strapped several pieces of sea reef to Ralph's ship, preparing to sink Captain Ralph's body into the sea.

Without saying a word, Woods came up to help.

But the beach was full of reefs, and it was just time of low tide, and Captain Ralph's rope and clothes were always hanging on the reef, making it very difficult to drag around.

The two worked together to drag more than ten meters, and then they had to give up the sea burial plan.

"Roy, what are we going to do?" Woods hesitated and asked in a whisper.

In fact, he thought that if he couldn't do it, he would turn into a giant bear, so that he could easily drag the dwarven corpse into the sea......

Roy said, "If this doesn't work, then we'll cremate him on the spot and scatter his ashes into the sea......

Then the two of them went to the dense bushes near the cliff wall, and picked up two large bundles of dead branches.

Sabrina and Moira also went to help, and soon built a large wooden bed out of wood, and Roy, Woods, and Xiu worked together to drag Captain Ralph to the pyre, which was then lit by Roy himself.

Little by little, the flames flickered, and soon the flames engulfed the corpses on Ralph's ship.

The firewood burned for a long time, and eventually it was all burned to ashes, and the sea began to rise continuously......

The waves continued to rush towards the burned bonfire, and some of the dark red charcoal made a 'sizzling' sound.

Soon the ashes and soot were carried by the waves and melted into the sea.

There were only a few gray-white bones on the beach, which shattered with a touch of your hand.

The group was busy until late before leaving the west side of the beach.

……

Early in the morning, as soon as it was dawn, Roy came to the cemetery in the western suburbs.

The morning mist has not yet lifted, the barren grass on both sides of the mountain road is covered with dew, and the woods on this hillside are shrouded in mist, as if entering some unknown valley fairyland.

Roy walked along the mountain path for a long time, and finally found Jasper's tombstone, and he took out a few apples from his magic belt bag and placed them neatly in front of the grave.

He sat down in front of the cypress tree, and looked at the green grass that had grown into the grave, and Roy said casually:

"Jasper, Captain Ralph was killed by Xiu last night, we burned him to ashes, and scattered his ashes into the sea, I guess his soul will go to hell."

"I'm going to go to Paddestow the day after tomorrow, and I hope that this city-wide manhunt in Paddestow will find Benjamin and Abt......"

"I will personally send them to the Inquisition of the Council of Elders."

"The Liberty Temple hasn't been notified of the revocation yet, and Grand Priest Reed and I are waiting for the notice, I don't really want to go to the Dark Lands, so I probably can't go to see the scenery over there for you."

Roy babbled on and on until it was getting dark, this time down the steps to the exit of the cemetery.

On the steps, Roy meets Miss Tiffany.

Roy waited on the side of the stairs for a while before he saw Miss Tiffany walking down the stairs with red eyes......

……

Roy bought a ticket for the Monday morning boat to Partington Island.

The group gathered in the morning in front of the deep-water pier in Castletown Harbour, and five people, Roy, Woods, Sabrina, Claire and Miss Tiffany, boarded the boat with their tickets.

The ship sailed at sea for most of the day and arrived at the small pier on Partington Island.

Roy led everyone out of the docks, and instead of following the example of Nora's instructor, he rented a carriage and drove to the small town of Partington.

He led the group on foot into the crevices of the mountains, and soon they were in the small town of Partington.

This portal pass was provided by the Earl of Swinburn, and Roy didn't plan to stop on Partington Island, but went straight to the central square of the town, and sure enough, this portal was still delivering boxes of supplies to Padstow.

There was no large amount of supplies piled up in the central square, and after all the supplies arrived on Partington Island, they were quickly sent to the Partington plane.

"It just happened to be a teleportation to Padstow, so we took the opportunity to go directly through the portal and save ourselves a night here." Roy said to the others.

Naturally, everyone has no opinions.

Roy took the teleportation credential to the portal guard and showed it to him.

The portal guard was actually wearing a standard military uniform, and after seeing the teleportation pass, he immediately said respectfully to Roy:

"Wait a minute, everybody, we need to check it one last time."

The portal guard said it politely, and Roy naturally had no reason to refuse.

The team waited in the lounge area next to the portal for a while, both Claire and Tiffany's were new to Partington Island and were extremely curious about the town of Partington......

After a short time, the portal guards finally beckoned a few people to pass through the portal, and Roy actually saw Miss Christine standing at the portal with a battle bow on her back, waving at everyone.

"Christine, are you going to Padstow too?" Roy asked.

Christine rightly said:

"Of course, I'll be in charge of communicating with the military, and I've met Wizard Benjamin, so I can help."

Unable to stay at the portal for long, they walked into the magical vortex of the portal.

This time through the portal, Roy didn't have such a strong reaction.

After exiting the portal, everyone arrived at the central square of Padstow City, which was surrounded by elven warriors, and it was clear that this was a special area controlled by the military.

A young officer approached him, and Miss Christine immediately greeted him, and after a brief exchange of words, the officer led Roy and his party to the edge of the square, where a row of carriages was parked, and the officer casually opened the door of one of the carriages and invited everyone to sit in.

"This time we stayed at the same hotel as last time...... Miss Christine said to everyone.

Claire stared at Miss Christine and asked cautiously, "Are you Christine. Miss Swinburn? ”

"Yes, you're the one?"

"Wagner...... Wagner. Claire, I'm from the Claire family. Claire hurriedly introduced herself.

"No wonder I feel a little familiar......"

Miss Christine responded politely and held out her hand to shake Claire's hand.

Horse-drawn carriages pass through the city of Padstow, where the bustling streets are now long gone, and the boulevards are deserted, with military patrols passing by every few moments, and most of the goods on both sides of the street are closed.

The half-blood elf rebel army that emerged some time ago scared away all the merchants and adventure groups in the city.

Many half-blood elves also took the opportunity to leave Padstow City, and the entire city has lost nearly two-thirds of its elves in the last two months......
