Klayr stopped and turned to look at Roy, waiting for him to continue.

Roy stared at the copper-covered textbook Silver Moon Elf girl was holding, and said with straight eyes, "I want to buy a magic book. There are several magical spells engraved on the pages. The copper-patterned cover must be thicker. It is not only a Holy Prayer book, it can also be used as a shield."

"..."

Klayr followed Roy's gaze and saw the two elf girls in front of them quickly disappearing behind the bush wall...

He looked back and said to Roy, "Roy, do you know how much a magic book that can record magic skills is worth? The more magic skills are recorded on the page and the higher the skill level, the more expensive the magic book is. I remember that a magic book that can record four primary magics at the same time costs at least more than two hundred Magic Crystal Stone."

Roy was shocked. "So expensive?"

Klayr put his arm around Roy's shoulders and explained to him:

"Of course, there are many magic skins that can be engraved with Magic Rune Array. The most common one is to make low-level magic skins like Magic Scroll, but this kind of magic skin can only be used once. Once the magic on the scroll is activated,, the entire Magic Scroll will be destroyed. However, the magic skin that can be used to make a magic book needs to be able to withstand the power of the magic engraved in it so that it will not be burned when the spell is cast. This kind of magic skin needs to be at least level 4 or above."

There are only thirty Magic Crystal Stone left in Roy's Magic Pouch. According to what Klayr said, these Magic Crystal Stone in his hand probably can't even buy a single page of the magic book.

"Okay, I'd better go shopping in Forging Workshop first and see if there is a shield suitable for me."

Klayr smiled proudly and said:

"If you have this time, you might as well listen to my performance of 'Bernice'. I found that after changing the music score to playing with a violin, the melody became more contagious..."

"Hey, hey! Roy, don't walk so fast..."

After the two classes in the morning, Roy quickly left Elf Academy. He wanted to go to the Magic Guild to see Magician Scarlett, and to see if there was any shield at the right price in Magic Shop.

Ordinary shields can be purchased at the blacksmith shop, but shields with magic resistance can only be purchased at Magic Shop in the lobby on the first floor of the Magic Guild.

And the price of anything related to magic will increase exponentially.

Roy strode into Inscription Workshop and asked an elf waitress at the front desk, "Is Magician Scarlett here?"

"Yes, please come with me!"

The elf waitress came out from the front desk and led Roy...

Going upstairs, Roy waited for a moment at the door of the magic laboratory, and heard from inside the laboratory:

'Come in! '

Roy Push the door and walk in.

There was a shoulder armor on the magic test table. Scarlett was doing the final solidification of the magic patterns on the shoulder armor. He raised his head and saw Roy. He raised his slender eyebrows and asked Roy:

"You don't want to buy Magic Inscription Construct again!"

"No, I came to see you this time because I want to know something from you." Roy said.

Magician Scarlett was sitting in the armchair, and the assistant next to her took off her gloves...

"What's the matter? Tell me!" Miss Scarlett stared at Roy and asked.

Roy asked Scarlett directly, "Miss Scarlett, is there a fire magician in Castleton Magic Guild?"

Miss Scarlett gave Roy a very positive reply:

"Of course!"

Roy stood in front of the test bench and asked Scarlett:

"Then... how many fire magicians are there in Castleton Magic Guild?"

Miss Scarlett thought about it seriously, then turned to the female assistant beside her and said:

"Although the number of fire magicians is relatively small, there must be at least more than seventy fire magicians officially registered at Castleton Magic Guild."

"That's right, including those from outside, the number of fire magicians may exceed a hundred..."

The female assistant agreed.

"So much?"

Roy was a little dumbfounded.

He originally planned to... if there weren't too many fire magicians in Castleton City, he would investigate them one by one in private.

Now it seems that this idea is unnecessary to even think about, it will not work at all.

Miss Scarlett nodded and said:

"Well, there is a shortage of elves, but many magicians occasionally practice fire magic as well."

Since Magic Guild couldn't find any clues about the fire magician, Roy had no choice but to leave.

Silver Moon Elf's heavily armored warrior is Sword Dancer, but Sword Dancer are better at dual-wielding one-handed swords or two-handed swords. There are very few Sword Dancers holding swords and shields on the battlefield...

Most of the elves who like to use shields are rangers. The weapons used by Silver Moon Rangers are very mixed. Every Silver Moon Ranger is good at using Battle Shortbow. When fighting in close combat, many Silver Moon Rangers use short swords with small Round Shield.

Therefore, most of the shields in Magic Shop are small Round Shield or arm guards that are mainly light-sensitive.

The shop owner told Roy that if you want to buy a heavy shield, you still have to go to the blacksmith shop. Magic Shop only has various kinds of exquisite metal Round Shield.

Roy From the wall of Magic Shop, I also saw a row of Round Shield inlaid with magic gems. It is said that such a magic gem is worth one hundred Magic Crystal Stone...

After choosing among Magic Shop for a long time, I finally picked one Crescent Small Shield.

For this reason, Roy spent five Magic Crystal Stone.

Magic Shop Boss also specifically emphasized that although this shield is called Crescent Small Shield, it is not the very famous epic shield. It is just an ordinary Magic Shield card that can block Fireball Spell.

Even so, that's enough for Roy.

Goddess of Freedom Temple, the number of believers coming to the rally continues to decrease...

The original choir of forty people had three cantors, but now the number of cantors has been reduced to two, and the choir has only twenty people.

Roy stood in front of the high platform with Wisdom Holy Grail, and it took just over an hour to distribute the holy water.

He looked back at Holy Water Pool, and saw that less than one-fifth of the holy water in the pool had fallen.

There are not that many believers to receive the holy water, and the remaining holy water is enough for Roy to take a bath.

It is said that regular drinking of this holy water containing Holy Light Power will help Holy Light Power condense, so Roy also filled his kettle with holy water this time.

When Main Hall was dealt with, Roy was the only one left.

Originally, the work of three people fell on one person, Roy, and it took him a long time to finish it.

Recently, Roy has been learning 'Hammer of Judgment' from High Priest Reed, but this offensive magic that Priest is suitable for learning is really a bit difficult...

Over the past few days, Roy couldn't even draw a complete divine pattern.

High Priest Reed is very patient in correcting Roy's mistakes. Recently, every time he comes to Study Room, he will tell Roy about There are various books on each row of bookshelves in Study Room. According to High Priest Reed, it is not required that Roy has read every book, but you must know what books are in Study Room...

Goddess of Freedom Temple The second batch of Expeditionary Force has been prepared at the headquarters of the Elf Continent. When the third batch of Expeditionary Force is the last batch, High Priest Reed will also go to Gorfito.

As for Castleton's Goddess of Freedom Temple, it will be demolished, and this building will become an orphanage for Castleton Lower District.

High Priest Reed said that there were not many things left for Roy. He would take Wisdom Holy Grail to Dark Land and give all the books in the temple to Roy and Roy are going to move the books in Study Room to Black Pearl when High Priest Reed leaves the temple.

People who are also thinking about Black Pearl are Benjamin and Abbott who are far away from Tree Forest Port.

Tree Forest Port is a small fishing port. There is only a shallow water dock suitable for Flying Fish Boat to dock. There are a lot of Half-Elf living near the fishing port.

This is a more pure Half-Elf residence. There are only Guard Squad and the tax officer named Silver Moon Elf on the dock. They usually have almost no sense of existence. The Half-Elfs living here are squeezed out by the Silver Moon Elfs.

There are large areas of Apple Orchard around Tree Forest Port. Almost all of these orchard owners are Silver Moon Elf, but few orchard owners will hire Half-Elf to work in the orchards. They would rather pay high prices to hire Silver Moon Elf...

Therefore, most of Tree Forest Port's Half-Elf rely on fishing for a living.

Many Half-Elf live in poverty. Life here is not directly proportional to wealth. It does not mean that the longer you live, the richer you will be. Whether you have money in your pocket has nothing to do with your age.

Benjamin put out a sum of money, and then Abbott came forward. It took the two of them just two days to recruit thirty-six fishermen at the port who were willing to go to sea.

Benjamin and Abbott only stayed in Tree Forest Port for three days, and left with thirty-six Half-Elf fishermen and six Flying Fish Boat After driving the Tree Forest Port, the group originally planned to return to the Castleton Harbour port overnight, dig a waterway at night before the tide came, and try to sail the Black Pearl into the sea during the high tide.

In October, the north wind will blow on the sea most of the time. As long as you raise the sail when the north wind blows, almost any lighter sailboat can glide on the beach. The Black Pearl is a bit bigger, but if you want to use the tide to return to the sea, you still have a good chance.

But as soon as the group went out to sea, they encountered a sea storm.

After entering October, such extreme storm weather is rare in the Silver Moon Elf sea area, but rarely does not mean there is no such weather.

Benjamin and Abbott happened to catch up, and the six Flying Fish Boat were completely broken up in the storm. Benjamin and Abbott's Flying Fish Boat persisted in the storm for a day and night, but were eventually overturned by huge waves.

After the fishing boat overturned, Benjamin pulled Abbott into the sea and pulled it onto Magic Broom. The two lost their way in the cloudy storm. Benjamin flew for six consecutive hours despite the storm before they found a reef island. The two set up a tent on the edge of the woods on the reef island to escape the storm...

In the tent, Benjamin looked out at the pouring rain without tears...

The storm completely obscured the blue sky and sea in front of them, and the two of them didn't even know where they landed.

I can only wait for the storm to stop and make plans.

On Castleton Port West Beach, Black Pearl stood motionless in the raging storm. All sails were tied to the crossbar, and all windows were tightly closed. Heavy rain fell on the deck, and the collected water flowed along the water gathering system on the ship and into the fresh water collection tank behind the hull.

After the water tank is full, the rainwater flows from the overflow port to the outside of the hull.

Tiffany transformed into a Naga mermaid, sitting alone in front of the bronze statue on the bow of the ship, letting the strong raindrops beat on her body.

It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears, her face was wet.

She looked at the Endless Sea covered by the heavy rain, her eyes filled with confusion about the future...

She has been tracking the whereabouts of Abbott in the past few days, but this guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air. No matter how hard she tries, she has gained nothing.

She recalled the scene when she secretly left home and left the tribe. The letter she left home at that time was somewhat decisive.

So much so that she now feels regretful and has the idea of going home. When she thinks of that letter, Tiffany feels that she should stay on Black Pearl for a while.

In recent times, tracking down Abbott has almost become her entire life.

The magnificent Tri-Color Fish Tail was thrown onto the deck. The Naga Mermaid's body is about three meters long, and its tail below the waist accounts for almost two-thirds.

Probably because they need to swim in the sea, every Naga mermaid's waist is relatively slender and toned. The vest line on their waist and abdomen is very clear. Men have steel plate-like muscles with scales on their chest and abdomen, and women have snow-white belly.

The rain made Tiffany's long hair stick tightly to her head. She rested her head on the bronze man's shoulder, just soaked in the rain.

"I know it's hard to catch fish in the sea when it rains so heavily. You must not have eaten yet..."

Roy was carrying a small iron bucket, and was moving towards the bow of the ship little by little, despite the wind and rain that could almost knock people over.

I really don't know how Tiffany can sit so firmly.

Tiffany heard Roy's voice and turned around, only to see him standing stupidly on the deck with a tin bucket, one hand tightly holding the front mast of the ship, hunched over, and there were a few Blue Mackerel fish in the shaking iron bucket.

Tiffany swung his fish tail, twisted his body and slid to the deck, taking the iron bucket from Roy's hand.

She glanced at him and said to him:

"If you want to bring me something, just bring a few books. If you want to eat fish, I can go to the sea to pick something fresher, fatter and thinner, always choose something that suits your eyes. In addition, I prefer to eat some oysters and mussels."

After saying that, he swung his fish tail and slid into the cabin.

Roy followed carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief after entering the cabin, and said, "I also like to eat oysters. Seeing that you are fine, I will go back first. I will bring you some books tomorrow."

Tiffany said nothing. He watched Roy walk down the cabin and then said from behind, "There has been no news from Abbott recently. I think he may have left Castleton Harbour..."

"I guess I just went out to avoid the limelight. I will come back eventually. I have to be patient and don't be too impatient."

Roy's voice came from underneath the cabin.

The violent storm roared outside the cabin, and the sound was not very clear:

"When the weather is nice, just go shopping. Castleton City The security is still okay..."

I've been a little stuck lately. Don't worry, I'll adjust back soon.
