When High Priest Reed arrived at the Shallow Water Pier, he saw Captain Relf knocked unconscious on the ice.

The Half-Elf fisherman, who had been watching from the sidelines, mustered his courage and cast his Fishing Net, which surprisingly caught Captain Relf perfectly.

Captain Relf struggled to his feet on the ice and saw that the ice beneath his feet was still expanding. Moreover, a chilling aura spread from his feet to his body, causing a thick layer of frost to condense on the surface of his Captain Relf.

Only then did Captain Relf realize that something was wrong.

Covered under the Fishing Net, several Fletched Arrow pierced his chainmail, leaving several bloody holes.

Captain Relf grabbed the Fishing Net with both hands and pulled it forcefully to both sides, Fishing Net to tear instantly under his brute force.

Several fishermen wielding harpoons tried to take the opportunity to stab him with several bloody holes, but Captain Relf, who had broken free from the Fishing Net, grabbed the harpoons and threw them into the sea.

An Ice Cone materialized above Magician Scarlett's head, and with a short incantation from the elf sorceress, the Ice Cone flew out from the direction of the dock...

A chill emanated from the Ice Cone, instantly causing Captain Relf's expression to change drastically as he broke through the Fishing Net.

Captain Simpson and Instructor Virgil pressed down from both sides, while Captain Relf stood on the ice, raising his Dwarf Chain Shield with both hands, instantly blocking the longswords of Captain Simpson and Instructor Virgil at the same time.

Even though he had several arrows stuck in his body, it did not affect his movements at all, and he could even smash Captain Simpson's Heavy Sword with his Square Hammer.

The Ice Cone exploded on his shield, bursting into a cloud of icy mist.

High Priest Reed and Jasper rushed to the battlefield, but Roy was nowhere to be seen.

High Priest Reed didn't ask any further questions. He saw that the Gray Dwarf Relf, who was being besieged, was fighting with increasing ferocity. The ice beneath his feet was beginning to crack inch by inch, and he was on the verge of escaping back to the sea...

High Priest Reed then began to pray, and a divine rune composed of holy light almost illuminated the surface of the sea.

Captain Relf, with his tattered Fishing Net still hanging from his waist down, braced himself with his chain shield and looked down at the cracked ice beneath his feet, overjoyed...

I couldn't resist stretching out my feet to stomp on the ice. With each stomp, a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks appeared on the ice.

Just when he thought he could escape, a small Holy Light Hammer flew shakily from in front of High Priest Reed toward Captain Relf. The Holy Light Hammer danced in the air and struck Captain Relf Captain Relf hard on the head when it reached him.

' Hammer of Sanction '

Captain Relf's Dwarf Chain Shield failed to stop the Holy Light Hammer.

Immediately, Captain Relf, wearing Fine Steel horned helmet, lay down straight, falling onto the three-meter square ice surface.

Before Captain Simpson and Instructor Virgil could make a move, two Elf Ranger who had run over from the dock quickly grabbed Captain Relf's chainmail with long hooks, pulled him directly from the ice onto the platform, and then dragged him all the way to the dock.

Two more Elf Ranger quickly untied the Fishing Net from Captain Relf's body, then removed his exquisite chainmail one by one, and ransacked him, leaving him only with a pair of underpants, before chaining the dazed Captain Relf up.

The two Elf Ranger addressed High Priest Reed, Captain Simpson, and Instructor Virgil, saying, "He is a fugitive wanted by the Guard Squad and is currently being held by the Guard Squad. Thank you for your cooperation. If it is convenient, please leave your names and addresses. The Gray Dwarf Relf has a Bounty Reward, which will be paid out after the case is closed."

No one can refuse Bounty Reward.

Captain Simpson stepped forward and said to the two Elf Ranger:

"I'll let it go, but capturing Relf is also within my duty!"

Jasper looked at the chaotic Fish Market and called out to High Priest Reed, "My lord, Roy is over there at the Fish Market..."

Captain Simpson, the two Academy Instructor, and the Silver Moon Elf mage all rushed towards the Fish Market, completely ignoring the two Elf Ranger.

Madam Yidula sat astride the Magic Broom, the light shield around her now almost transparent.

She put her wand into her Magic Pouch and gave Instructor Nora, who was lying on the fish stall and struggling to get up, a victorious smile.

The patterns on the Floating Device on the Magic Broom gradually lit up, the rudder tilted thirty degrees toward the sky, and then it suddenly shot into the night sky, with a magical stream of light even appearing at the tail of the broom.

Instructor Nora grinned and struggled to her feet from the fish stall, completely ignoring the fishy smell that covered her.

They chased after Madam Yidula, but it was too late.

I didn't even touch the tail of the broom handle...

But Roy, who was hiding to the side, was already prepared. Just as Madam Yidula took off, Roy stepped onto the cutting board of the fish stall next to him, took a few running steps, and spread his arms...

Just before Madam Yidula took to the night sky, Roy threw himself on Madam Yidula and clung tightly to her slender waist, following Madam Yidula into the night sky.

Instructor Nora slammed her longsword down and shouted at Roy was flying into the night sky, "Roy, come down here!"

Ms. Jillian, standing in front of the fish stall, was also dumbfounded. She watched as Roy jumped onto her table and then pounced on Madam Yidula...

If she had simply reached out and stopped Roy, he might not have been able to touch the magician.

But now he had already soared into the night sky with the Magic Broom, Ms. Jillian's eyes followed the swaying Magic Broom in the night sky.

At the Fish Market, many elves were watching Madam Yidula fly into the night sky...

Everyone was terrified because of Roy.

As Roy soared into the night sky, he was terrified...

He was worried that if he fell from a great height at this moment, his head might be cracked open.

It was like a watermelon that had fallen to the ground and smashed to pieces.

Fortunately, Madam Yidula rushed into the dark sea. With the sea below, Roy felt he could still try.

Of course, Roy didn't dare let her fly too far away from the dock, or she wouldn't have the strength to swim back to shore, which would be the worst thing.

So, after embracing Madam Yidula's soft, slender waist, Roy immediately pulled out his Wooden Stick and smashed it against the Floating Device at the tail of the Magic Broom.

'Clang... Clang...'

After just two strikes, the Floating Device at the tail of the broom became loose, and even the Magic Power was interrupted...

Yudora desperately pulled the helm up with both hands, fearing that a great Elf Archer would arrive and shoot her a fatal arrow, which would almost certainly kill her.

"Stop! If you break this, we'll both fall to our deaths..."

Madam Yidula screamed, gripping the helm with one hand and trying to pull Roy off the Magic Broom with the other.

Roy completely ignored Madam Yidula and smashed the Floating Device completely with just three blows of his wooden stick.

The Floating Device's Magic Power vanished instantly, Magic Broom lost its buoyancy, traced an arc in the air before plummeting into the sea.

'plop' 'plop'

Roy and Yudora fell into the sea almost simultaneously.

The instant he fell into the sea, Roy took a deep breath, covered his head with his hands, and plunged into the ocean.

After falling into the sea, Roy immediately stretched out his body and swam a short distance underwater before surfacing to breathe again...

Madam Yidula was also a good swimmer, and at almost the same time, she surfaced about fifteen meters from Roy.

Roy swam towards Madam Yidula without hesitation...

Madam Yidula Yudora, however, swam towards the Magic Broom floating in the sea. She quickly picked up the broken magical broom from the seawater and, seeing the almost completely smashed Floating Device, cursed in despair.

She put the Magic Broom into her Magic Pouch and immediately swam out to sea.

She needs to escape Castleton Harbour docks; the Magic Broom has been destroyed, and now her only option is to swim to safety...

But then she discovered... Roy was swimming hard in the sea, getting closer and closer to her. Madam Yidula gritted her teeth and pulled a sharp dagger from her pouch, ready to give him a good whack as soon as he swam up and send him to his death.

Roy knew that chasing Yudora was dangerous, but since the two of them had fallen into the sea, Instructor Nora on the dock might not be able to see Madam Yidula's exact location.

Therefore, he released a ball of holy light as quickly as possible.

' Glimmer Illumination '

Then he swam desperately toward Madam Yidula.

Upon seeing a ray of holy light appear on the sea, Instructor Nora and Ms. Jillian leaped into the sea from the dock almost simultaneously.

Instructor Nora, with her excellent skills, cleaved through the waves with her arms as she swam toward Roy, confident in her swimming abilities.

But not long after, Instructor Nora discovered that the fishmonger, who had fled into the sea at almost the same time, had actually swum more than 50 meters underwater in one go. By the time she surfaced, she had already left Instructor Nora more than 30 meters behind...

Ms. Jillian was like a Naga Sea Clan in the sea; her swimming style was beautiful.

He swam vigorously toward Roy.

Other Half-Elf stood on the dock, some even on the ships, holding Carbide Lamp and gazing out to sea, occasionally pointing at the holy light in the water and letting out cries of surprise.

It is said that once a mage is brought into close combat, he becomes powerless.

Roy doesn't think so.

Roy swam up to Madam Yidula and was nearly stabbed to death by her with a dagger.

Fortunately, Roy has been using his shield frequently lately. When he saw Madam Yidula thrusting at him, Roy actually flipped over in the sea and kicked out.

Roy kicked the dagger out of Madam Yidula's hand, but Madam Yidula then entangled Roy in the sea.

Roy didn't expect Madam Yidula to be so skilled in martial arts; her body was as flexible as a sea eel. After entangled Roy, she dragged him into the sea.

Roy was then choked so badly he could hardly breathe and gulped down several mouthfuls of seawater.

Roy held onto Madam Yidula tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much she thrashed about in the sea, until Ms. Jillian and Instructor Nora swam over, at which point Roy finally released Mrs. Yudora.

Ms. Jillian lunged at Madam Yidula, and they struggled in the sea for a while before Instructor Nora joined in, and Madam Yidula was finally unable to resist...

Madam Yidula was practically dragged ashore by the hair by Ms. Jillian.

After getting ashore, Ms. Yudora, soaking wet, took off her magic robe and untied her Magic Pouch, leaving her only in a petticoat, with her legs and hands bound by chains.

High Priest Reed rushed over from the Shallow Water Pier and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Roy resting on a stone bench by the dock.

The other instructors from the Elf Academy arrived one after another, excitedly telling Instructor Nora about their recent battle with Captain Relf, the Gray Dwarf.

Only Instructor Eleanor was still searching for Captain Relf on the West Beach, and unfortunately missed this battle...
