Witness Sandike

Every time after cleaning the yard, Jasper and Abbott would go to Study Room to learn magic.

However, in recent times, Abbott to Study Room have been studying less and less.

He has been obsessed with reading geography-related books these days, wanting to learn as much as possible about the Endless Sea.

According to Jasper, Abbott is simply obsessed with pirate treasures and has occupied almost all of Abbott's life.

Every day, he dreams of arriving at the island where the treasure is hidden. In order to make Abbott sober, Jasper has taken back his half of Treasure Map from Abbott after persuading him several times to no avail...

For this reason, the two almost had a big fight.

Although Abbott apologized to Jasper afterwards, once some things are cracked, they may become... irreparable forever.

Jasper pushed the door and walked in Study Room. As expected, Abbott did not follow him. He would rather consult the map in the concierge than learn magic in Study Room.

"Where is Abbott?"

Roy looked up at Jasper and asked casually.

"He went to the library in the city. This guy has been like this recently. Whenever he has time, he will go to the library to look up information." Jasper said helplessly, "Roy, do you think it is possible that Treasure Map is a fake?"

Roy was slightly startled! He hadn't thought about this.

Jasper walked into Study Room and closed the door.

He did not rush to the bookshelf to find books, but stared directly at Roy and asked him, "Roy, now that Wisdom Holy Grail has been found, do you have any ideas about joining the war in Dark Land with us? With Wisdom Holy Grail, we can walk freely in Dark Land..."

Roy looked at the heat in Jasper's eyes and asked:

"What, have you decided yet?"

"Well!" Jasper said to Roy with firm confidence in his eyes, "In my opinion, joining Holy War Army is my belief, and we join Dark Land to spread the holy light and to make the holy light shine to every corner of the world."

Roy's eyes fell on the magic book on the round table and said, "I don't want to go, I also want to take a look at the other side of the sea!"

Jasper seemed to know that Roy would say this. Hearing Roy say this answer again, his eyes dimmed slightly and said, "Abbott doesn't want to participate in the Holy War Army either. I will be the only one left by then. I guess that journey will be very boring! Hey! I don't know when this temple will be dismantled..."

After saying that, Jasper stood up.

He took it out from the bookshelf, sat down at the round table again, and began to read seriously.

Study Room became quiet.

After a while, Roy began to try to recite Purification Art's prayer.

Jasper suddenly raised his head, stared at Roy with a pair of bright eyes, and suddenly asked him, "Roy, if I can't go to Dark Land, can you go there for me and take a look?"

Roy stopped reciting the prayer, stared at Jasper speechlessly, and said to him helplessly, "Hey..."

"Just take a look."

Jasper still refused to give up and said persistently.

Roy waved his hand without hesitation and said, "I'm not going, I'm going... go by myself!"

The two of them studied in Study Room for a whole afternoon.

Until Abbott returned to Goddess of Freedom Temple holding a few geographical atlases, pushed open the wooden door of Study Room, and then looked back at the sunset at dusk.

"Why are you still here?"

Abbott asked strangely.

Only then did Roy see a ray of setting sun shining through the door, so he closed "Detailed Explanation of Purification Art" on the table, put away the bookshelf, and then said, "Uh... it's so late! Okay, you two, I'm going home."

"Wait for me, I'm going to clean Black Pearl."

Jasper quickly put the books in his hands together, followed Roy's footsteps, and quickly put them back into the bookshelf, and then walked out of Study Room with Roy.

"Then I'll also check out Black Pearl, Abbott, will you go?"

Roy turned to Abbott and asked.

"Me? Forget it, I just borrowed a lot of albums from the library and want to take a good look..."

Abbott hesitated and replied.

After finishing speaking, Abbott sat down in front of the round table, took out a magnifying glass from his pocket, opened a geography album, and stared at an ancient scroll with eager eyes.

Jasper and Roy walked out of Study Room.

"He's always been like this lately..."

Roy followed Jasper to Black Pearl. Someone often needs to clean here, because the deck is often covered with skua feces.

Roy found that during his absence, many things had been added to the captain's cabin, and several pots of green plants by the window were growing well.

Jasper first brought up a few buckets of sea water, cleaned the deck of Black Pearl, and then checked all the windows on the ship. After finishing these tasks, he sat alone on the bow of the ship, waiting quietly for Miss Tiffany.

Although she doesn't know when she will appear, Jasper still comes to the boat to sit for a while almost every day.

Sunday morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Standing at Cross Street Intersection and looking towards the sea, you can see Flying Fish Boat far away.

Roy got up very early and came to Goddess of Freedom Temple after breakfast.

A carriage stopped at the gate of the temple, and a Half-Elf coachman was sitting on the charioteer's seat chewing Breadfruit. When he saw Roy walking over, he grinned at Roy, showing a row of neat teeth.

Walking into the temple, I saw High Priest Reed standing at the door of the Main Hall neatly dressed.

"Good morning, teacher!"

Roy stood by the pool and saluted High Priest Reed.

"Go put on Novice Priest's robe, and come with us to attend Priest Theodore's court hearing later..."

High Priest Reed said to Roy with a serious expression.

"Oh!"

Roy quickly walked to the dressing room in the backyard. Jasper and Abbott just ran down from the second floor. Jasper said to Roy, "Roy, hurry up! The carriage at the door is already waiting for us!"

"Got it!"

Roy Only then did he think of why the coachman was grinning at him mischievously when he was chewing Breadfruit.

It is relatively quick to run to the dressing room and change into a Novice Priest robe. If you don't wear a belt, this kind of robe will look like a sack with five holes. Just put one on your body. Of course, only after wearing a belt will it look like Novice Priest.

Roy put on Novice Priest's robe and chased him from behind.

Jasper and Abbott worked together to close the door of Goddess of Freedom Temple and put a 'temporarily closed' sign on the door.

Then we took the carriage to Elder Council Tribunal in front of Heroes Square.

Roy, Jasper and Abbott, led by High Priest Reed, came to the trial court again.

Compared with the first time, this time Roy came here with a much more complicated mood.

Because the one who is about to be tried is Priest of Goddess of Freedom Temple. Although he has betrayed the temple, he is Priest of Goddess of Freedom Temple after all...

No matter how you say it, it will greatly affect the reputation of Goddess of Freedom Temple.

Roy walked into the circular trial hall and immediately felt an invisible pressure on the top of his head, making him seem a little out of breath.

Then he discovered that the conditions of Jasper and Abbott around him were actually not as good as his own.

It's the same stepped Hall of Judgment where Golden Tangerine Slave Traders was tried last time.

When a group of elves listening to the trial were filled with Hall of Judgment, Arbitration Committee also appeared on their seats one after another.

The Old Elf presiding judge was still standing in the emerald green sky, being supported by a thick tree vine and moving around freely in the Hall of Judgment.

After all the elves were seated, the presiding judge signaled the guards to bring the prisoner to the trial stand.

Roy, Jasper, and Abbott were sitting behind High Priest Reed, and the other two kept looking into the passage pointed by Roy.

Roy thought that Priest Theodore and Priest Sandike appeared at the same time, but after waiting for a long time, he saw Priest Theodore, who looked haggard, slowly walking out of the passage with his hands and feet in shackles.

In just three days, Priest Theodore lost a lot of weight. The loose skin on the side of his face drooped down, making him look like a dejected Shar-Pei...

The presiding judge was brought to Priest Theodore by Shuteng, and he shook the bell in his hand vigorously in front of Priest Theodore.

"Priest Theodore, can you hear me?"

Theodore nodded, lowered his head and remained silent.

The presiding judge asked again, "Are you conscious now? Please raise your head, look at me, and answer with Elven Language."

Priest Theodore raised his head, his eyes were so red that he could hardly open them.

"Yes, I am very conscious." His voice was also a little hoarse.

The presiding judge nodded slightly and asked:

"Okay, then let me ask you, what do you have to say about the murder of Half-Elf Pelius?"

Priest Theodore's eyes flickered, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said:

"No, I did all this. I killed Half-Elf Pelius. I wanted to ask him about the whereabouts of Wisdom Holy Grail, but he didn't tell him until he died."

The presiding judge asked again, "Then how did you obtain the Wisdom Holy Grail in your hand?"

Priest Theodore glanced around, his gaze lingered on High Priest Reed's face for a moment, then he looked at the presiding judge and replied:

"I saw it at Master Claire Latin's home. I was invited by Master Claire Latin and was preparing to treat him when I saw Priest Sandike walking in with Wisdom Holy Grail. This kind of Holy Grail is only available from Goddess of Freedom Temple Only Priest can use it, so the agreement reached between Priest Sandike and Master Claire Latin is that I will treat Master Claire Latin. No matter whether Master Claire Latin lives... or dies, this Wisdom Holy Grail will be given to me."

"I treated Master Claire Latin for more than a month as agreed. In the end, Master Claire Latin passed away due to severe organ failure. I got Wisdom Holy Grail as agreed. Although I found Holy Grail, I never thought about returning it to Goddess of Freedom Temple... so I plead guilty!"

The presiding judge nodded, turned around and said loudly, "The following witness Priest Sandike please stand up!"

"..."

Roy was a little confused for a while, how Priest Sandike, who was obviously an accomplice, turned into a witness.
