Gifts

She is such a simple Half-Elf.

She prefers to stay home all day, unwilling to interact with the spirits outside, and has a gentle yet sensitive personality.

Even a fish, a walk on the beach, or even a simple lizard tooth necklace can make her happy.

She was like a Night Blade Leopard cub with its first teeth, wary of the world, carefully hiding in the shadows of the bushes, quietly observing the movements around her.

She finds it difficult to trust others easily. Apart from her mother, Ms. Jillian, and her sister, Sabrina, Roy is able to gain her trust because the two of them have something in common: they both had a lonely childhood.

While her older sister Sabrina helped their mother Jillian sell fish at the Fish Market, Moira would stay at home alone. She would never push open the gate to sneak out into the street to meet other elf children.

Roy was also very reclusive when he first moved to Brown Street.

At that time, Moira noticed the Half-Elf boy next door who looked very much like a human. Perhaps it was because of his Half-Elf identity that Moira became a little curious. Occasionally, she would peek over the yard wall to observe what Roy was doing in the yard.

During the time Roy lived in the Upper District, he suffered discrimination and alienation from the Silver Moon Elf children, which made him somewhat paranoid and withdrawn from a young age.

It is precisely because of their past that Moira and Roy get along so well.

The two would occasionally share a slice of Breadfruit across a low wall of bushes, and sometimes Moira would even hand Roy a piece of tuna...

Speaking of which, it has to be said that Ms. Belinda doesn't usually like to eat fish, and the first fish Roy ate was actually given to him by Moira.

As Half-Elf, Roy grew very quickly. Originally, Moira and Roy were about the same height, but in just a few years, Roy became more than half a head taller than Moira and was catching up with his sister Sabrina.

It was from this time that Roy began to change. He would occasionally stare blankly at Sabrina's neckline, and even dared to secretly lift Sabrina's skirt.

Sabrina reprimanded Roy more than once, but Roy remained unrepentant.

It wasn't until Sabrina went to the Elf Academy and learned Elementary Martial Arts that she gave Roy a good beating...

That time, Roy hit his head on the stone steps in the yard and bled a lot. It terrified Moira and Sabrina, and they were severely scolded by their mother, Ms. Jillian.

Roy stayed in bed for three days before getting up, but during that time he seemed to have amnesia, unable to remember many things, and became much quieter.

The only thing that hasn't changed is that his eyes still can't help but look at Sabrina's chest, and he still loves eating fish...

Ms. Jillian told the two sisters that all elves who reach adulthood also have this bad habit.

Moira clutched a tattered linen rope, looking at the lizard teeth threaded through it. To avoid scratching herself, Moira found some more hemp rope and wrapped the lizard teeth around it little by little before hanging it on the wall next to her bed.

Every time Roy came home, he would wash the dirty clothes that had accumulated in the bathroom, then take a good shower, and hang the washed clothes on the clothesline on the second-floor terrace.

The wooden door to Ms. Belinda's studio was half-open, and some of the finished carvings had been placed in Wooden Box lined with hay, presumably to be taken to Buenos.

Roy wanted to go to the drainage outlet on the other side of the seawall to see the Dark Moon Elf Viesel, to find out if he had left Castleton safely.

I've decided to go take another look there tomorrow morning...

Roy walked into his cabin, where the crystal ball was still on the table, but it had been wiped very clean, without a speck of dust on it.

Roy drew the curtains, lay on the bed, reached under the bed, and after groping around for a while, finally pulled out the Holy Scepter inlaid with gems.

To be honest, this thing is a bit like a work of art. The patterns on the entire scepter are very exquisite, and the handle is very comfortable to hold.

Roy is now considered Novice Priest has learned three divine spells. He can feel the faint Holy Light Power on the scepter. When he holds it in his hand, he can also feel that the holy light seems to be nourishing him, and a warm holy light keeps flowing into his body from his palm.

Roy gripped the Holy Scepter and attempted to cast ' Glimmer Illumination Spell ' once, but aside from the Glimmer Illumination Spell being slightly brighter than before, he found nothing else.

As Roy approached, he cast another ' Strength Blessing ' on himself.

This time, Roy felt the blessing effect much more clearly; the added power attribute was significantly higher, a very noticeable sensation.

Looking at the scepter in his hand, Roy really wanted to throw the Wooden Hammer straight into the sea...

When he tried the ' Minor Healing, the Holy Scepter became ineffective again. It seems that the Holy Scepter only provides some attribute bonuses to ' Strength Blessing ', and no other effects have been found yet.

However, it was clear that the divine runes on the scepter were not activated, so Roy judged that the power of this scepter was not limited to this.

After putting the Holy Scepter back under the bed, Roy took out the bottle of ' Permanent Agility Potion ' from his satchel, not expecting it to be so valuable.

When the cap was removed, another string of bubbles rose from the green liquid inside. Roy leaned in to smell it but didn't detect any strange smell.

He carefully brought the bottle to his lips, then gulped down the cool, bubble-like agility potion in one go, finally letting out a satisfied burp.

Roy felt a cool sensation rush through his stomach and into his limbs. His joints were undergoing noticeable changes, and the fascia around his joints was tingling. Roy stretched out his hands, carefully experiencing the wonderful sensations the drug was bringing to his body.

He tried jumping in place. Although the height of the jump did not change much, in the instant he took off, he felt as if he could keenly grasp every detail of the movement.

Roy clearly felt that his control over his own reaction ability suddenly seemed to have improved significantly.

He pushed open the bedroom door, ran quickly to the terrace, and lightly leaped onto the railing. He would never have attempted such a dangerous move before, but now he found that his balance had improved a lot.

Standing on the terrace, he casually performed a few Elementary Martial Arts moves, and the stiffness he had felt before completely disappeared. He could even complete these moves with ease.

Now he truly understood how effortlessly Moira performed these movements.

It turns out that performing these movements smoothly feels so good; I can feel every muscle and tendon in my body moving rhythmically with the movements...

It seems this ' Permanent Agility Potion ' is truly worth the price!

No wonder it's so valuable.

Roy spent some more time on the terrace before returning to his room to sleep, completely satisfied.

That night, the drunken Ms. Belinda was actually helped back by Sabrina.

Roy, still half-asleep, opened the door and saw Ms. Belinda, who was completely drunk, staggering towards the house with Sabrina's help. He immediately ran over and, with Sabrina's assistance, carried Ms. Belinda into the room.

Roy skillfully carried half a basin of water and a towel, and thanked Sabrina repeatedly.

"I saw Ms. Belinda at the street corner. Some of her friends saw that I could help her home, so they left in a carriage..." Sabrina explained.

This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. Roy knew that Ms. Belinda's Silver Moon Elf friends held a serious prejudice against the Lower District Lower District, believing it to be chaotic, unsafe, and teeming with thieves, robbers, and thugs. If it weren't for the fact that they were taking Belinda home, they wouldn't want to stay a moment longer.

"Thank you for helping her back. She must be very heavy after drinking!" Roy said as he helped Ms. Belinda take off her shoes.

"It's alright, it's getting late, I'll head back now..." Sabrina whispered to Roy.

Roy helped Ms. Belinda untie her hair tie, then wiped her face with a damp towel before turning to Sabrina and saying, "Wait a minute, I have a gift for you. I happened to meet a Petrification Lizard on my trip to the Magala Jungle."

As he spoke, Roy strode back to his room and took out two Petrification Lizard forepaws from his bag.

The two front paws were wrapped in oiled paper, with no other treatment besides preservation. They had a faint smell of decay, and there was darkened lizard meat inside the lizard skin, making it very ugly.

Neither Roy nor Klayr were professional skinners, and they dared not attempt to skin the paws.

So all four Lizard Claw were cut off whole.

"These two lizard forepaws are just the right size to make a pair of heavy leather gloves, which should be perfect for you," Roy said, wrapping the lizard forepaws again and handing them to Sabrina.

Sabrina knew, of course, that if these two Lizard Claw were given to a tanner, they could be turned into a very good pair of heavy leather gloves in a week.

But then she suddenly remembered the lizard tooth holder she had seen by Moira's bedside that night, and inexplicably pushed the two Lizard Claw back, then said something completely out of the blue:

"If I could, I'd like a tooth pendant like that too."

Roy paused for a moment, then glanced at the handbag.

Although lizards have many teeth, Roy actually only made two, which were the best he could find among many. He originally planned to keep one for himself, but since Sabrina brought it up, Roy had no choice but to take the other one out of his bag as well.

"I only made two. If you like them, I'll give them to you..."
