152 Progress

At the Cross Street Intersection, after watching Night Blade Leopard disappear back into its den, Roy finally returned home.

Sitting at his desk, Roy saw the crystal ball on the table and immediately remembered that it must have been taken from the Black Pearl by the Naga assassin. With that thought, he quickly hid the crystal ball under his bed.

He glanced at the Holy Scepter under the bed, hesitated for a moment, then changed his mind. He put the Holy Scepter and the crystal ball into his Magic Pouch.

Only then did I feel a little relieved. I took a quick shower and washed and hung the clothes to dry on the second-floor terrace.

Then I saw Moira practicing ' Dance of Radiance ' on the opposite terrace.

He waved to Moira, indicating that he was going downstairs to sleep.

Moira stopped, took a towel from the clothesline, wiped the sweat from her face, and nodded obediently...

Roy lay on the bed, watching the curtains sway gently back and forth in the sea breeze, always worried that the man from the Relf ship might jump in through the window.

Opening his eyes and staring at the dark ceiling, Roy began to ponder how to deal with Captain Relf and the Blood Elf mage.

He didn't report the matter to the Guard Squad because he was worried that the Elf Ranger of the port Guard Squad would alert them, and once Captain Relf was scared away, it might not be so easy to find them again.

Moreover, almost none of the Elf Ranger in the Guard Squad could defeat Captain Relf.

At this moment, Roy had no idea that the mere infiltration of the Night Blade Leopard into the ship had frightened Captain Relf into fleeing in panic...

Roy's immediate priority was to find some reliable helpers, preferably to capture the two of them.

The first person Roy thought of to help him was High Priest Reed.

He witnessed High Priest Reed display powerful divine magic on the Cliffside Avenue, and now that the Wisdom Holy Grail has been retrieved, at least he no longer needs to worry about being unable to hold temple gatherings after exhausting the Holy Light Power...

Roy then thought of Instructor Abbott. Nora. Ever since he witnessed Instructor Nora's bravery in the Malaga Jungle, Roy believed that Instructor Nora was definitely a powerful elven Elf Warrior.

Thinking about this... Roy felt that if he could persuade Instructor Nora to help, things would be much easier.

So he planned to tell Instructor Nora about his troubles during his martial arts training class the next morning.

As he pondered, drowsiness overcame him, and Roy curled up on the wooden bed and fell asleep.

While he slept, the Holy Light Seed within his body slowly extended five tentacles like an awakened sea anemone, continuously absorbing the surrounding Divine Light and causing the Holy Light Power within Roy's body to grow stronger.

The Holy Light Seed already has two tiny tender leaves, and the third bud has just sprouted.

In the early morning, sunlight shines through the morning mist onto Brown Street.

Roy stepped out of his house and saw Sabrina standing at the door as well. Lately, the two had gotten used to walking together.

In Sabrina's eyes, Roy's image was also constantly changing.

She found that, apart from the occasional wandering of his eyes, Roy was quite a gentleman in other respects.

The two boarded Long Carriage at the Cross Street Intersection of Brown Street.

The carriage was nearly empty, so Roy and Sabrina could choose their seats freely. Sabrina sat by the window, while Roy sat right next to the aisle.

Roy really liked the scent of lilacs on Sabrina. Even though the lilac season was over, it seemed like she had made dried flower sachets, and she always had that scent on her.

Long Carriage entered the Lower District, the Half-Elf passengers boarding along the way were all discussing one thing: a silver moon Elf Priest had murdered a Half-Elf girl in the library.

Roy listened attentively for a while before discovering that the murdered Half-Elf girl's name was Windsor, and the murderer with blood on his hands was the Priest Sandike.

It turns out that the Windsor case has also been uncovered...

Roy didn't know why he felt a little relieved.

In the past two days, Roy has not encountered the Half-Elf students with whom he had a conflict a few days ago.

A little while later, Sabrina's two best friends boarded the Long Carriage one after the other. There weren't many passengers in the carriage. Sabrina gently pulled Roy, who was about to offer his seat, and gestured for her friend to sit in the front row.

The two best friends have gradually accepted that there is always a Half-Elf around their friend. They were a little resistant at first, but now they are used to treating him like he doesn't exist.

The two Wood Elf also had fair skin and beautiful emerald-like eyes.

Sitting on the double chair, with her incredibly flexible waist, she turned around and whispered to her friend Sabrina:

"Sabrina, did you know? There has been another murder case recently, in which Silver Moon Elf has been persecuting Half-Elf. The murderer is actually a priest from the Moon God Temple."

"I heard he went into the library and pushed a Half-Elf librarian off the third-floor terrace. The librarian died instantly!"

"These Silver Moon Elf in the Upper District are really going too far these days!"

"That is..."

Sabrina listened with a look of surprise, while Roy, standing to the side, was thinking: This Priest Sandike must have offended the Elf Ranger of the Guard Squad too much, to have solved this murder case so quickly.

Roy had always thought that the Elf Ranger of the Guard Squad were not very capable, but now it seems that he had underestimated Elf Ranger.

The discussion in the carriage grew louder, Half-Elf became very angry. They even began to criticize the privileges enjoyed by the many Silver Moon Elf in the city...

The carriage finally arrived at the Elf Academy, and surprisingly, there were fewer students at the Elf Academy gate than usual.

Roy jumped off the train and saw Klayr waiting at the door. Klayr waved vigorously at him. A group of Silver Moon Elf surrounded him. When they saw Roy, they just smiled and nodded. No one was willing to get to know him.

Klayr put her arm around Roy's shoulder and waved goodbye to the Silver Moon Elf.

As they walked along the path, Klayr whispered to Roy:

"Roy, do you know that Priest Sandike is in new trouble again!"

"..."

It seems the entire Castleton City already knows about this.

Klayr then told Roy, "The Elf Ranger of the Guard Squad not only found out that he killed a Half-Elf thief, but also murdered a Half-Elf librarian in the library."

Roy thought to himself: I even know the name of that Half-Elf girl, and I have her diary.

"Right now, the Half-Elf of the Lower District are holding a protest march under the Tree of Life in Heroes Square," Klayr added.

Hearing Klayr say this, Roy looked around and found that there were indeed fewer Half-Elf in the Elf Academy...

No wonder there seemed to be far fewer elven students on the Long Carriage and at the academy gate than usual.

"So that's why so many elves in the academy didn't come to class?" Roy whispered.

Klayr said in a low voice, "Not only that! Even some faculty members from the colleges have gone to participate in the protests."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the Training Ground Training Ground martial arts classes, where a group of elf students had already begun some preparatory activities.

Klayr and Roy also need to do some stretching and joint exercises to avoid straining their ligaments during class.

Instructor Nora wouldn't set aside twenty minutes after class for these preparatory activities; as soon as class started, students had to learn Elementary Martial Arts.

Both of them practiced diligently every day. Klayr would also practice swordsmanship and assassination at home every night. However, since the practical course in the Malaga Jungle, Klayr discovered that Roy not only improved rapidly in physical fitness, but also often suppressed her in martial arts sparring.

Although the combination of Wooden Stick and a shield is effective against Long Dagger, Klayr still practices assassination and combat skills extra every night...

This was something Klayr couldn't quite understand.

"Roy, what do you do at the temple every afternoon?"

He asked, somewhat puzzled.

Roy pulled the Wooden Stick and shield out of his Magic Pouch; having the Magic Pouch made things so much easier.

"Aside from distributing holy water at the Wednesday gathering, I usually just study divine magic in the Study Room," Roy said.

"Divine magic?"

Roy gave Klayr a strange look and said:

"Haven't you seen them before? ' Strength Blessing,' ' Glimmer Illumination, ' and ' Minor Healing ' are these. Hey, Instructor Nora's here..."

Instructor Nora still wore Light Leather Armor, always carrying Battle Shortbow and longsword, and her hair was tied back in a ponytail.

It was another lesson where Claire was completely outmatched, Klayr noticed that Roy's reaction time and speed had improved significantly.

After the martial arts training class ended, Roy didn't rush to the classroom for the next class. Instead, he walked up to Instructor Nora, who was packing up her things, and said, "Instructor Nora, I'd like to talk to you!"

Instructor Nora glanced up at Roy, put the wooden sword back on the weapon rack, and looked at him, saying:

"Speak, what is it?"

At the beginning of the semester, Abbott. Nora had a rather bad impression of this Half-Elf because his physical fitness was poor, and compared with the elves, he had a natural deficiency in speed and flexibility. She was actually very worried that Roy would become the worst student in the martial arts training class.

If it were an ordinary elf child, it would be fine, but if it were a Half-Elf, it would easily become a topic of discussion and could be interpreted as discrimination or differential treatment, making the issue very sensitive.

So for a period of time at the beginning of the semester, Abbott. Nora was trying to persuade the Half-Elf to quit.

To this end, she even selected a set of martial arts techniques that required the most flexibility and coordination, and broke down the movements to teach the elf students.

However, it was from that time onwards that Instructor Nora began to pay close attention to Roy's changes.

In almost every martial arts training class, Instructor Nora could see Roy's growth.

His progress was so rapid that it completely surpassed that of the other 199 elf students she was teaching...
