High Priest Reed jumped into the sea again and pushed Priest Theodore, who was almost at the bottom, out of the water. A group of Elf Ranger stood on the dock and helped pull Priest Theodore out of the sea.

High Priest Reed removed the Magic Pouch from his waist and, sure enough, found the golden Wisdom Holy Grail Magic Pouch. The entire Holy Grail felt heavy in his hand, and bright golden holy light flowed within the magic runes on Holy Grail exterior.

The Guard Squad Elf Ranger wanted to keep the Golden Holy Grail as evidence, but High Priest Reed put it away first.

Priest Theodore was carried back to the Guard Squad on a stretcher by two Priest Theodore Elf Ranger, because he was involved in a murder case in which the victims Pelius and Windsor, were lying in the cemetery in the western suburbs.

As for the Golden Number, although it has already left Castleton Harbour, it is estimated that it will return to the port soon.

Because the security situation in the area Outer Sea the port is now under the jurisdiction of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the dazzling sunlight quickly dried the damp port docks...

Roy lay on the floor of the port dock, a few glistening water droplets still clinging to his face, sparkling in the sunlight.

He was soaking wet, and his hair was plastered to his forehead.

High Priest Reed knelt beside Roy, slowly reciting a prayer, when a beam of light fell upon Roy ...

' Holy Light Art '

A rich, sacred aura filled Roy's body, and a ball of holy light shone brightly...

High Priest Reed stared in astonishment at Roy, who lay unconscious on the stone floor, never expecting that he would actually advance at such a time.

Abbott had been waiting in the back with some worries on his mind, widened his eyes when he saw the intense holy light emanating from Roy.

Roy slowly woke up, and sunlight shone through the clouds, creating beams of light on the sea.

The Night Blade Leopard was long gone. Instead, High Priest Reed and Abbott appeared before Roy, along with two Guard Squad Elf Ranger. There were a few elves watching the commotion on the dock, but none of them gathered around.

Roy fainted simply because he choked on seawater. Although he was struck in the chest by the Hammer of Judgment, his body possessed sufficient Holy Light Affinity, making it difficult for the Holy Light Power to harm him...

He sat up from the stone floor, feeling cold all over. Thinking of Priest Theodore, he asked High Priest Reed:

"Teacher, where is Priest Theodore? Has the Holy Grail been found?"

High Priest Reed patted Roy on the shoulder and smiled as he said:

"He's been taken back to the Guard Squad by the Elf Ranger, Roy, look at this!"

As he spoke, High Priest Reed took out the Wisdom Holy Grail. It looked quite heavy, and the golden Holy Grail was extremely magnificent, with its surface covered with intricate patterns.

Streams of holy light flowed through the intricate patterns, making the entire Holy Grail appear radiant and dazzling.

This was the first time Roy had ever seen the Wisdom Holy Grail. He reached out and touched the patterns on the Holy Grail, clearly feeling a gentle, sacred aura.

"They found it? That's wonderful!" Roy said happily.

Roy jumped up from the ground...

Although I felt a bit uncomfortable being all wet, my chest didn't hurt at all.

Looking at the sky, Roy remembered he still had to go to the Elf Academy for class, so he said to High Priest Reed, "Teacher, I have to go to the Elf Academy this morning. We can talk about it this afternoon..."

After saying that, he waved to the dazed Abbott before quickly running out of Castleton Harbour.

As Roy passed Mrs. Winnie's Potion Shop at the Cross Street Intersection, he saw the Night Blade Leopard snoring soundly in its den, though the den was damp and water was seeping out...

Seeing the Night Blade Leopard lying obediently in its den, Roy breathed a sigh of relief, whistled softly, and then ran past the entrance of the Potion Shop.

He first ran home to change into clean clothes, then ran out with his textbooks and went to the Cross Street Intersection to board Long Carriage.

Having barely slept all night, Roy stood at the Cross Street Intersection, yawning, feeling his eyelids drooping.

Even so, Roy didn't dare skip class. In the Elf Academy, the consequences of skipping class without a reason were very serious. Anyway, the elves had no shortage of time. The most common punishment was to repeat the course, or of course, they could choose to give up.

Just as Roy was about to lean against a small tree on the side of the street for a nap, a fair arm reached out from the side, and in that delicate and soft hand was a green apple.

Roy looked up and saw Sabrina standing prettily in front of him.

This time, instead of the low-cut, oval-necked Apricot Yellow Dress, she wore a floral print dress with white lace trim at the neckline, and her long golden hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

"Didn't you eat breakfast?"

Roy took the apple Sabrina offered him and took a big bite. It wasn't as sour as he had imagined; it was slightly astringent...

Sabrina couldn't help but feel a little regretful, thinking she had beaten him too badly last night.

"Thank you. I barely slept last night and I'm a little sleepy."

Roy said casually as he ate an apple.

At this moment, the Long Carriage silently stopped at the Cross Street Intersection, and the elves waiting at the Cross Street Intersection boarded the carriage one by one.

Sabrina took a seat by the window, gesturing for Roy to sit next to her. She patted her round, plump shoulders, a slight blush rising to her cheeks, and whispered to Roy, "If you're sleepy, you can lean against me and take a nap. I'll wake you when we get to the Elf Academy..."

Roy stared at Sabrina with some surprise, then tried to turn his head away. Seeing that she didn't have any unusual expression, he leaned closer to her with peace of mind.

The smooth, cool skin carried a faint scent of lilacs; Roy thought it must be the scent of youth...

Klayr is becoming increasingly popular at the Elf Academy, with many elves waiting on the path leading to the Training Ground every day, eager to get to know him.

Roy wished he could get as far away from him as possible to avoid being trampled underfoot by the rushing elf students.

In the past few days, Roy has gradually become familiar with the members of Sixteenth Team.

After school at noon, Roy returned to the Goddess of Freedom Temple. Jasper was cleaning the forecourt. Seeing Roy walk in from outside, Jasper asked Roy with a puzzled look:

"Roy, how did you manage to get back to Brown Street before me?"

Jasper walked up to him and looked at Roy expectantly.

Roy pointed towards the mouth of the Da Nei River and explained to Jasper, "I rushed down the Da Nei River. The Guard Squad Elf Ranger stormed into the treehouse, and Priest Theodore broke out of the window and jumped into the Da Nei River. Kitty and I followed. You probably don't know, but Kitty is actually a pretty good swimmer and swam me back to Brown Street."

Jasper raised his fist and bumped it with Roy's, then said excitedly, "Now the Holy Grail is finally back! That's great!"

The theft of the Holy Grail remained a knot in his heart...

Perhaps it's because of Priest Anderson, Roy thought.

Jasper muttered to himself:

"I never imagined that Priest Theodore was among those who stole the Holy Grail. Besides them, there were also priests from the Moon God Temple and Master Claire Latin from the Art Gallery. If this gets out, it could become the biggest scandal in Castleton this year..."

"Roy, High Priest Reed calls you; he's over in the Study Room."

Abbott came out of the backyard carrying a bucket of water and said loudly to Roy.

He even winked after saying that, making the implication quite clear; it seemed like something good was about to happen...

Roy walked along the path beside the cypress wall to the temple's backyard, climbed the stairs to the second floor, and hurried to the door of the Study Room.

'Ding ding ding'

"Come in!"

High Priest Reed's calm voice came from inside.

Roy pushed open the wooden door to the Study Room and saw High Priest Reed with his back to the door, rummaging through the books on the bookshelf.

On the round table in the Study Room sat the golden Holy Grail, Holy Grail emitted a soft holy light, filling the entire Study Room with a rich Holy Light Power.

High Priest Reed pulled out a thick book, turned around and walked to the round table, gesturing for Roy to sit down.

"Roy, we were able to retrieve the Wisdom Holy Grail this time thanks to your tireless search."

High Priest Reed placed the book in front of him and said to Roy with a look of satisfaction.

"Teacher, it was just a coincidence."

Roy responded modestly.

High Priest Reed tapped the table with his finger and said approvingly:

"Boldly guessing, meticulously investigating and verifying, and after discovering the target, even knowing that the opponent is a strong enemy, they are not afraid and refuse to retreat. This kind of courage of a fearless strongman is also very precious!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "I will write to the Gorfito Headquarters, and I expect there will be an award for you. But before that, this... is my personal reward for you!"

High Priest Reed took out a brand-new Magic Pouch and placed it on the round table.

The Magic Pouch looks ordinary, but there are two small Magic Pattern Cloth pouches on each side of the belt. Roy had seen a belt with two Magic Pattern Cloth hanging on it in the magic Grocery Store, but he had never seen four in a row. Roy had asked about belts with a single Magic Pattern Cloth, and one of them was worth about eight Magic Crystal Stone.

And now, the Magic Belt High Priest Reed gave to Roy actually has four magic rune pouches.

So he didn't immediately take the Magic Pouch, but instead looked up at High Priest Reed and asked:

"Teacher, isn't this too expensive?"

High Priest Reed smiled gently and said, "Compared to the Wisdom Holy Grail, this is just a small gift!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the Magic Pouch into Roy's hand.

"Alright, this book is a detailed explanation of ' Purification Art,' I believe you are ready!"

After High Priest Reed finished speaking, he pushed the books in front of him toward Roy.

Just as Roy lowered his head and silently read the thick book, High Priest Reed turned and walked out of the Study Room...
