Chapter 204 - 21: Salted Fish Port (2)
The sea breeze blew gently. Waves crashed against the rocks, and the cries of seagulls filled the distant cliffs.
The dwarves lay sprawled all over the hall, while the sleepless Silver Moon Knights continued their guard duties with unwavering determination.
The night at Salted Fish Port was so tranquil it was as if nothing had happened or ever would. Lying in the room assigned to her, Yilin found it hard to sleep.
*She slowly sat up, hesitated for a long time, then lit a candle. Cloaking herself in her outer garment, she grasped the candlestick and pushed open the door to walk out.*
She was greeted by a squad of Silver Moon Knights.
Seeing their skeletal faces, Yilin was startled. But she quickly composed herself and exhaled slowly.
*It had to be said, being human, it was quite terrifying to encounter a group of undead knights in a dark night.*
The squad of Silver Moon Knights passed by Yilin, saluting respectfully before heading off to their next patrol location.
Yilin nodded to them, then continued forward with the candlestick in hand.
This castle was different from others; no massive torches were lit at night. After all, there were few actual humans in the entire castle. The undead had night vision, and even the dwarves possessed much better night vision than humans. As a result, the whole castle was shrouded in darkness.
Blue moonlight, symbolizing peace, slanted through the windows onto the corridor, giving an indescribable eerie feeling.
