Mermaids Have No Tears

The raindrops falling from the sky crackled against the glass window of the captain's cabin. The rainwater flowed down the glass and left water marks on the glass.

Tiffany leaned against the window of the captain's cabin. She sat on a bench and laid her huge fish tail flat on the chair.

Through the blurred glass window, you can still see Roy walking in the rain against the wind. He was hunched over and walking very hard.

On the west coast of Castleton Harbour, waves rolled in, and waves washed up on the beach, like countless brave and fearless warriors, setting off countless white waves on the sea rocks.

In the tin bucket at the door, there is also half a bucket of fresh Blue Mackerel fish...

Roy brought the fish over and left in a hurry without sitting in the cabin for a while.

Tiffany withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the rough sea. She sighed softly. In order to run out to find Jasper this time, she almost completely broke with her family. The letter before leaving swore that she was going to find love and freedom.

Tiffany didn't even finish all the magic courses. She just learned Transformation Spell and some basic Ice Magic, and then said goodbye to the teacher.

She gave up everything her family had given her, and also gave up the engagement that her family had made for her, but now Tiffany can only live in this big ship that cannot sail on the sea, like a wanderer with no fixed abode...

Jasper died, and she found that everything she had done was meaningless.

Tiffany blinked her eyes, the mermaid had no tears.

Her eyes fell on the ship, looking at the steering wheel in the captain's cabin, looking at the masts on the deck outside the window, looking at the sails tied to the crossbars and countless ropes and Cargo Net. Compared with the Naga Sea Clan warships, this large sailing ship was really lagging behind.

In the empty captain's cabin, except for Steering Wheel, there is not even the most basic Navigation Chart.

A rope was connected to the bronze bell on the top of the main mast. Tiffany stretched out his hand and pulled the rope, and the bronze bell on the top of the main mast rang.

Fortunately, the weather outside was bad, with wind and rain, so even if the bell rang, the sound could not travel too far.

Tiffany is wandering alone on the boat.

Pushing open the door of Oar Room, Tiffany walked into this long and narrow room and saw that the windows on the outside were actually sealed with pieces of wood, and huge oars were hung on the ceiling in the corners of the room.

Opening a wooden board that closed the window, a strong sea breeze blew in with raindrops.

Sticking to the window, Tiffany faced the storm, stuck his head out of the window, and looked at the turbulent sea...

As November enters, the weather in Castleton Port gradually turns cooler.

Tiffany has been investigating for many days, but unfortunately there is no clue...

It has to be said that elves are quite exclusive, and they will not reveal information to strangers casually.

Guard Squad's Elf Ranger's investigation has not made any progress either.

Abbott could not be found, and Tiffany had no intention of leaving. She settled on Black Pearl.

Under the arrangement of Tiffany, Black Pearl finally had some flavor of life. Roy brought a basket of lemons to Tiffany and squeezed the lemon juice on the open oysters. The taste made Naga Sea Clan, who has lived in the sea all year round, find it too delicious.

Although the war between the elves and the Nagas has ended for many years, there is not only no contact between the two races, but also no trade.

Therefore, Naga Sea Clan lives under the sea all year round and rarely eats fruits. Some fruits are high-end foods that only the Naga royal family can afford.

Lemon, a fruit, is only used to make fruit tea in Castleton City.

Although Silver Moon Elf eat fish, they never eat shelled creatures in the sea, so no elf squeezes lemon juice on the oysters. The lemon brought by Roy is a new dish on Tiffany's menu.

Tiffany has been going to Castleton City's library frequently this week.

At first, she went to the library just to investigate the news about Abbott, but after a few days of investigation in the library, she found that Abbott had not appeared again since that night, and the clues here were broken...

But she figured out the library's borrowing procedures, so Tiffany began to patiently study Elven Language on Black Pearl, and also read some Silver Moon Elven History books.

She would bring the borrowed books back to Black Pearl, and then sit quietly on the edge of the boat for the whole day...

Since Tiffany lived on Black Pearl, Roy rarely went to Black Pearl. Usually he would visit Tiffany on Saturday evenings and occasionally bring her some daily necessities.

Recently, Roy's life has become calm and regular.

The nightly martial arts sparring between him and Moira was changed from the terrace to the backyard lawn. Occasionally, Moira would join forces with Roy to fight against Sabrina.

I have to say that Sabrina's two-handed sword is quite powerful.

Even if Roy or Moira join forces, they can only stand in front of Sabrina for a quarter of an hour. Often, either Moira is too aggressive, or Roy cannot stop Sabrina's Heavy Sword offensive.

Roy spent three weeks and finally learned to draw the divine pattern of 'Hammer of Judgment'.

High Priest Reed said that Roy is the most talented one among all the Novice Priests he has seen.

It is a pity that the world is not good, Holy Radiance of Goddess of Freedom disappeared, and Priest lost their way to promotion.

High Priest Reed asked Roy to learn these low-level magical arts just to give him some power to protect himself.

Roy does not intend to enter Dark Land, which means that he will officially leave Goddess of Freedom Temple during the third expedition of the temple...

In fact, Roy is just a Novice Priest, and has not officially registered with Goddess of Freedom Temple. He is more like a temporary worker with a little magic in Goddess of Freedom Temple.

Therefore, Roy does not need to hold complicated rituals when leaving the temple.

'Hammer of Judgment' has a very long prayer. Roy now comes to Goddess of Freedom Temple every day and practices this prayer almost all the time.

Even though High Priest Reed personally supervised the exercise, progress in this part of the practice was still slow.

November is the graduation season for some students in the Elf Academy.

This semester will officially end in two weeks.

Most students, including Roy, are about to face the most troublesome final exam in the college.

Elf Academy is a college with a rigorous academic style. The entrance threshold is very low. As long as you are willing to pay the tuition, the college does not even care whether the student is Silver Moon Elf...

Throughout the semester's study process, some courses were easier, while others were more difficult, and I didn't even dare to ask for leave.

Teachers have different requirements for students...

However, during the final exam period, whether it is the teacher who is usually demanding or the teacher who is usually more lax, they will become unselfish during the final exam. Those students who usually do not study well, once they fail to pass the exam, will continue to retake the course in the next new year until they pass the exam or give up.

Roy has been busy taking exams in three courses recently. He is the kind of person who usually has fewer courses and is relatively relaxed.

But the exams in class Elf Continent Geography are notoriously difficult, with the passing rate never higher than 60% every year. The final exam questions from Master Harper are also notoriously difficult.

In comparison, the Modern Elf History exam here at Princess Ophelia is relatively easy, otherwise there wouldn't be so many elves lining up to apply for her Modern Elf History.

For Roy, the easiest thing is Instructor Nora's martial arts training class exam.

Martial arts relies on daily exercise and accumulation. This semester, Roy first met Slave Traders from Golden Tangerine, and later met Captain Relf from Sea Wolf. He also had a bumpy experience in outdoor practice classes.

So this semester, what he studied the hardest was martial arts.

Just like an obstacle course at the beginning of school, Instructor Nora prepared for the test without any prior notice when the end of the semester was approaching...

Instructor Nora completely separates the physical fitness test and martial arts test.

For a Warrior Class, strength, agility, and physical strength are the three basic attributes. If the Instructor Nora cannot meet the standards, Elementary Martial Arts Training of Instructor Nora will never pass.

When Roy and Klayr arrived at Training Ground in the morning, they saw some elf students who had arrived earlier lining up. Many of the elf students had sad faces.

In contrast, the expressions of those Half-Elfs are relatively relaxed.

Silver Moon Elfs are naturally weak in strength, and they are better at using martial arts, so this basic test is what Silver Moon Elf students are most afraid of.

Seeing the items on Training Ground, Klayr was also a little dumbfounded.

The first item is to split wood. A log as thick as a bucket must be split into two halves. It should not take more than three minutes.

Instructor Nora uses precise hourglass timing and is prepared from the hardest oak.

The elves at the front will choose drier logs when choosing wood sections. Of course, the ones at the back have no choice...

The second item is also limited time Obstacle Course. You can see that the elves waiting at the origin of Obstacle Course have more relaxed expressions.

The third test is endurance. Instructor Nora requires students to hold their feet and hands on a log pillar without any points of strength for a quarter of an hour.

The third test does not mean that those with stronger strength will have an advantage. Not only do you need stronger hands and feet, but you also need to weigh less...

The latter two items were probably not difficult for Klayr. He just glanced over there and stopped looking.

The two came to Instructor Nora who was recording the results. Instructor Nora marked behind their names, then pointed to the strength test and said to them, "You two go over there and line up first!"

Klayr ran to the pile of logs with a grimace, intending to find himself a piece of wood that was as thin as possible and that looked drier. In addition, he ran to the weapon rack where Logging Axe was placed, intending to choose an ax that came to hand first, and then polish the ax blade.

Roy Although he doesn't chop wood much, he occasionally uses some firewood when frying fish at home.

Therefore, he still has some experience in chopping wood. In addition, he has been using Wooden Stick and a shield in recent sparring. He thinks that he must be qualified in terms of strength.

In order to help Klayr find some tips on cutting wood, Roy was ranked ahead of Klayr.

Although Roy was a little nervous about the first test, seeing the sawdust flying in the test field made him more excited.

Klayr followed Roy, feeling a little uneasy, and whispered to Roy, "Roy, or you can secretly bless me with Strength Blessing later..."

Roy turned to look at Klayr and whispered to him:

"I think if we do this, we will definitely insult Instructor Nora's IQ. We may not need to explain at that time. Our names will definitely be included in the reconstruction list..."

Klayr Hearing what Roy said, his expression changed and he said no more.

The two didn't wait too long. Roy picked up a Logging Axe. He first checked the ax blade to see if the sharpness was okay, then stood in front of the test bench.

He did not choose a log. Two young teaching assistants carried a log over. This test was conducted by ten students at the same time. A log was placed in front of each student. Everyone stood in front of the log holding Logging Axe with both hands.

Instructor Nora held the hourglass, and following her order, the ten elf students began to chop this piece of wood with all their strength.

Roy discovered that cutting this piece of wood is actually quite skillful.

It must be cut straight down first, then slightly tilted to the left, cut down, and then slightly tilted to the right. By cutting the log over and over again in this way, a huge gap will be cut out in a short time.

When the gap was about to reach halfway, Roy ran decisively in front of the log and actually turned the log over in full view of everyone.

In this way, chopping the log becomes much easier.

Klayr was watching from the team behind and saw that Roy easily cut the log in just two minutes and successfully passed the strength test. He waved to Roy happily.

Roy walked from the test bench to Klayr and whispered to him a few tips on chopping wood.

Klayr's confidence suddenly increased and he walked to the test bench with a confident face. When his group started chopping wood, the confidence on Klayr's face suddenly disappeared.

The seemingly ordinary task of chopping wood was not so easy in his hands. The ax hit a piece of wood, and the ax blade was caught in the log...

Not only were his hands numb from the shock, but Klayr also spent a lot of effort on his hands and feet to pull out the axe.

The next step was a little smoother. Klayr felt that he had performed exceptionally well. He didn't waste any time and used his full strength from the beginning.

Even so, Klayr only cut off the log at the moment when the hourglass just leaked light.

I barely passed the first test, and the moment I saw the hourglass leaking light, Klayr was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat.

Afterwards, Roy and Klayr were preparing to take the Obstacle Course test. Instructor Nora was still in front of the team doing the strength test, registering the students one by one...

"You! Open your mouth."

Instructor Nora shouted at the Silver Moon Elf student in front of him with a cold face.

The thin elf student trembled with fright and quickly opened his mouth.

Instructor Nora didn't even look at it, but said with a cold face, "Come back next year!"

The elf student still wanted to defend himself and said with an aggrieved look, "Instructor, I..."

Instructor Nora didn't even give him a chance to speak. He turned around and motioned for the next student to come up and said, "There is a smell of Lion King Strength Potion in your mouth. Do you think I can't smell it?"

The Silver Moon Elf's face turned pale, and then he left with a look of shame on his face.

Roy felt that Instructor Nora should not be able to smell the smell of Lion King Strength Potion. She must have some other method before she discovered that the elf student was taking Lion King Strength Potion.

I have a stone problem, I am really a Buddha, let me be lazy for another day
