Lower District, Edward Street Guard Squad.

Some Half-Elf in the market specifically target stall owners who are about to close up shop, buying cheap items labeled as clearance goods from their stalls.

Some Half-Elf had finished dinner would go out into the streets and often gather at the Cross Street Intersection. When the music started, they would sing along.

Some fruit wine merchants tie their barrels to flatbed carts and park them at any busy Cross Street Intersection. A string of cups hangs next to the barrels. They don't need to hawk or sell their wine; they just wait for the elves to finish singing a nice song, and someone will come over and buy a few cups of fruit wine, offering a drink to the elf who performed the best.

The girls always swayed their lithe waists, making their skirts dance, sometimes like an open umbrella, sometimes like butterflies fluttering in the air.

This is the Lower District, where the Half-Elf also enjoy a vibrant nightlife.

At this moment, the Elf Ranger captain was sitting in front of his desk with a bitter face, the magic lamp on the desk emitting a soft light.

There was a report on his desk, with only the beginning written on it.

He clutched the Quill Pen in distress; it was a report to the highest-ranking officer of the Guard Squad.

The report clearly states the following line:

' Lord Amos ...'

The Elf Ranger captain of the Guard Squad wanted to write a report accusing the Moon God Temple of causing trouble during the day and arbitrarily arresting a Novice Priest Moon God Temple from the Goddess of Freedom Temple.

Although he is a Silver Moon Elf and a follower of the Moon God Temple, this does not mean he will protect the priests of the Moon God Temple.

As Elf Ranger in the Lower District Guard Squad, every time he encounters Half-Elf dying unexpectedly, it is a very painful thing to go to the Moon God Temple to ask for a priest.

The priests of the Moon God Temple are unwilling to guide the dead Half-Elf, sometimes finding various reasons, and sometimes simply refusing outright.

Often, the Elf Ranger need to ask the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple to hold funeral ceremonies in the cemetery.

The priests of the Moon God Temple's arrest of the Novice Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple in the Lower District streets was somewhat excessive.

Not to mention that the Lower District is full of followers of the Goddess of Freedom Temple, even if these Elf Ranger encountered such a situation, they would definitely step in to stop it. There was no other reason than that the Goddess of Freedom Temple would often step in to resolve troubles that the Guard Squad couldn't handle...

"If we don't step up and help the Goddess of Freedom Temple now, what will we do when we run into trouble later? Can we expect the Moon God Temple to help us?" the Elf Ranger captain thought to himself.

Meanwhile, in a small conference room behind the Moon God Temple, the Moon God Temple's Priest Sandike, sat around a round table with a gloomy face.

He never expected that, even now, when he thought the Holy Grail incident had completely subsided, some nobody would suddenly appear, and judging from his behavior, he was clearly already following the clues...

If that's the case, the Priest at the Goddess of Freedom Temple might start to suspect him.

The Priest Sandike took a sip of tea, feeling a slight pang of regret.

He placed the teacup on the round table, his gaze falling on the wick at the top of the magic lamp in front of him. The wick, Stone Sculpture, emitted a soft glow.

The light in his eyes gradually transformed into a Holy Grail...

As early as six months ago, the Moon God Temple had already discovered that the Holy Radiance of the Goddess of Freedom no longer shone on the Elf Continent.

Elune, the Moon Goddess Goddess, has seen her number of followers on the Elf Continent decrease in recent centuries.

The main reason is that the Wood Elf ' god has become a nature god, while the Dark Moon Elves worship a Moon Well...

In order to prevent the believers from leaving too quickly, the Moon God Temple also took a series of remedial measures, but most of them had little effect.

Only by distributing the Tree of Life Sap equally among the Silver Moon Elf could the young Silver Moon Elf have brought about some change in their attitude towards the Moon God Temple.

However, for the priests of the Moon God Temple in Castleton, their greatest potential threat is the Goddess of Freedom Temple in the Lower District.

Because Castleton City is divided into two districts: the Upper District is where the Silver Moon Elf live, while the Lower District is where the Half-Elf live.

The Moon God Temple does not accept Half-Elf as believers, but Half-Elf make up more than half of the population in Castleton City.

The Goddess of Freedom Temple has been actively cultivating its Half-Elf followers in recent years, gaining considerable prestige in Castleton...

Just as the Moon God Temple was searching for a solution, the Holy Radiance of the Goddess of Freedom disappeared.

This is precisely why a large number of Half-Elf followers from the Lower District have left the Goddess of Freedom Temple...

However, at this time, the Goddess of Freedom Temple was still able to hold two gatherings per week.

This is because, in addition to the Holy Light Power possessed by the Priest themselves, there is also the golden Wisdom Holy Grail placed in the side hall of the temple. Soaking this Wisdom Holy Grail in water can create a pool of holy water.

Without this miraculous Wisdom Holy Grail, the Priest would have to do everything, and they would likely not have been able to hold their weekly gatherings twice a week.

So... half a year ago, the Priest Sandike was already plotting to steal the Wisdom Holy Grail from the Goddess of Freedom Temple, hoping to use it to... completely dismantle the Goddess of Freedom Temple.

Unfortunately, this plan was delayed until two and a half months ago before it was put into practice.

During this period, another major event occurred at the Goddess of Freedom Temple: the Goddess of Freedom Temple was dismantled on a large scale Elf Continent, and all the Priest gathered at the temple headquarters in Gorfito. Soon after, news came that the Goddess of Freedom Temple intended to launch a campaign against the Dark Land.

This is exactly the kind of news that the higher-ups at the Moon God Temple want to hear.

Therefore, during this period, the orders issued by the higher-ups of the Moon God Temple could not prevent the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple from conquering the Dark Land.

For the Novice Priest of Castleton to enter the Dark Land, a prerequisite is that they must possess the Wisdom Holy Grail; otherwise, they will be unable to replenish their Holy Light Power once Dark Land.

Priest Sandike sat at the round table with a gloomy face. Now, the Holy Grail that had been left outside had become a problem for Sandaike.

When Roy returned home that evening, he saw Ms. Belinda tidying up her upstairs studio...

Many of the half-body art sculptures in the studio have already been packed up, making the second-floor studio a complete mess.

Ms. Belinda is preparing to travel to Buenos of the Silver Moon Royal Capital, tomorrow, so she needs to pack all her personal belongings now.

Roy will stay in Castleton City to continue his studies.

Although Ms. Belinda was somewhat worried, Roy's past experiences had proven that he was fully capable of living alone.

Before leaving, Ms. Belinda had many regrets...

Roy took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and climbed upstairs to help Ms. Belinda pack her luggage. He also tried to reassure the worried Ms. Belinda, saying, "Don't worry about me. I'll be very busy with schoolwork lately. I can take care of myself."
