The carriage moved slowly along the flat road, which was lined with green trees.

The carriage passed through the shade of these trees, leaving only the crisp sound of horse hooves in the forest.

Roy struggled for a moment, thinking that this matter was a bit dangerous, coughed lightly, and said to Sabrina:

"Sabrina, actually you can stay and participate in the college's outdoor practice class. Regarding Padesto City, it's enough for me and Woods to go."

Sabrina is tasting a plate of fruit on the square table. The green agate-like grapes not only look attractive, but also taste very delicious.

"It's okay, just go together if you want to go." Sabrina said.

Seeing that Sabrina decided to go, Roy stopped trying to persuade her...

Roy finally got back to Goddess of Freedom Temple before noon. Sabrina got off the bus early at Cross Street Intersection at Brown Street. When the carriage was picked up at the gate of Goddess of Freedom Temple, he happened to see a postman on horseback parked at the gate.

"Excuse me, where did the letter come from?" Roy asked curiously.

"Padesto City from Pattington Plane is addressed to a person named Woods. Is there anyone here named Woods? How come I haven't heard of it before?" The postman twisted the mustache on his upper lip with his hand and looked at Roy sideways.

He is a Silver Moon Elf who hates these Half-Elf and Half-Elf from the bottom of his heart, but the area he is responsible for is Lower District's Brown Street, Edward Street and Roger Street.

The postman knew Roy. Although he couldn't pronounce his name, he also knew that he was a resident of Brown Street.

"He is Woods!"

Roy has long been used to this, and pointed at Woods and said.

Woods was stunned for a moment, then walked over and took a letter from the postman. The postmark and ink pad were all there, and it had obviously not been opened.

This is a letter from Pattington Plane.

The envelope was ordinary and there wasn't even a return address filled in.

After opening the letter, Woods became particularly excited.

He turned around and said excitedly to Roy that this letter was sent to Woods by the elder who stayed at Pattington Plane.

Then Woods politely thanked the postman, turned around and ran into Goddess of Freedom Temple's courtyard.

Roy could only take out two Kole from his pocket and handed them to the postman while thanking him.

After the postman with eyes on his head rode away, Roy walked into Goddess of Freedom Temple's courtyard.

Woods held the letter and sat by the pool, reading the letter while shedding tears.

Roy walked over and Woods told him the content of the letter.

The letter said that he had joined Half-Elf Rebel Army and would not return to his hometown for the time being. He also asked Woods not to go to him and just buy a boat ticket to go home...

Roy is a little speechless.

I just decided to go to Padesto City, but it seems that maybe I don't have to go to Woods.

Roy learned magic from Goddess of Freedom Temple all afternoon. High Priest Reed joked to Roy:

"Roy, you may be the last Priest of Castle Town Goddess of Freedom Temple, and you are also a Priest who has never been favored by Goddess's Holy Radiance. I really don't understand. Where did you accumulate so many Holy Light Power that you can be promoted to nine levels in a row?"

"It all depends on the holy light in my body to slowly recover... occasionally I will secretly drink some holy water."

Roy put down the structure diagram of 'Wisdom Blessing'. He almost exhausted all his patience, but unfortunately he still failed to learn Wisdom Blessing.

Soon it was evening, and Roy and Woods left Goddess of Freedom Temple together. They rushed to Black Pearl, and then Miss Tiffany and Moira were grilling fish on the deck.

As a Naga, Miss Tiffany can catch all kinds of delicious sea fish.

Roy feels that Moira is probably attracted to Tiffany because of this.

Seeing Roy and Woods rushing over, Miss Tiffany quickly handed over the grilled fish in his hand to Roy. Only the grilled fish made by Roy himself was the most delicious.

Tiffany and Moira are sitting on the side of the ship...

Moira did not forget to whisper to Tiffany, "Look, I just said that the grilled fish made by Roy is the most delicious. He likes to use the freshest sea fish."

Moira was wearing tight-fitting leather armor, with a dagger stuck to the belt on his slim waist.

There is no difference in length between the dagger and Long Dagger.

The dagger is a broad-edged sword, while Long Dagger is sharper and lighter...

Because it is a sword weapon, although Moira is good at assassination fighting, she can still learn sword dance.

When no outsiders are around, Tiffany will dispel the magic, expose her fish tail, and stretch it out on the deck, which will make it more comfortable.

"Roy, someone sneaked onto Black Pearl last night. They probably found someone living here, so they left secretly again!"

Tiffany Put his hands on the side of the boat and lean back...

"Did you see his appearance?" Roy squatted next to the oven and turned to ask.

Miss Tiffany shook his head. "I found him relatively late. When I found him, he had already run outside my door. And I still need to keep the position by the window so that I can escape in time when I meet a powerful guy... With the keen intuition of a Naga mermaid, I don't think I can beat that guy."

Woods and Roy looked at each other. Someone was probably eyeing Black Pearl.

Moira took courage and invited Miss Tiffany: "How about you stay at my house tonight, and you can share a room with me."

Tiffany's physique requires frequent soaking in sea water after transforming back into a mermaid. Otherwise, once the scales become dehydrated, they will dry out and fall off, which is the most troublesome thing.

In the bedroom of Black Pearl's Ship Building, there is a large bathtub, just big enough for Tiffany to sleep in the bathtub in the form of a mermaid.

Tiffany said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Even if someone sneaks up and I can't beat him, I can still escape. There is the sea below, and I can go down along the window strips."

Woods touched the pocket on his waist and hesitated to speak.

Roy knows that there are several kinds of seeds in Woods's pocket, among which Thorn Seeds Roy has seen it.

Woods grabbed a handful of seeds, handed them to Tiffany, and then took the seeds back.

Woods said to Tiffany, "I can help you arrange some plants and let them help you guard."

Then Woods sprinkled some seeds in a flower pot, and then moved the flower pot to the room where Tiffany lived.

Woods recited a string of mantras, and the seeds soon began to take root and sprout.

It was like a creeper, and those vines quickly spread out, and the outside of the hull was covered with such tree vines.

"This kind of ivy only becomes particularly active at night. As long as someone touches its leaves, it will become extremely nervous." Woods introduced to Tiffany.

Then, Roy was asked to go outside and touch the leaves of the vine. Sure enough, the entire leaves of the vine were shaking violently.

"There are actually such magical plants!"

Roy said with some curiosity.

"Actually, this plant is not that magical..." Woods explained in a low voice.

Then Woods took Roy and the three of them into his plant cultivation room.

The most gratifying thing is that under the careful cultivation of Woods, those Light Flower seeds actually sprouted in the breeding box on the Black Pearl ship.

There are only twenty-three flower seeds in the whole ear. Woods successfully caused all nineteen Light Flower seeds to germinate. They grew in flower pots, and each plant almost grew three leaves.

Light Flower is a light-loving plant that requires long hours of sunshine, but cannot be watered too much. The delicate leaf pods will break if blown by the wind, making them very delicate.

The leaves of the young buds that grew out also have shiny patterns. The leaves look a bit like highland barley and grow very slowly, but Roy can clearly feel that each leaf has a faint sacred atmosphere.

Roy looked at these Light Flower placed on top of Ship Building, and his mood immediately improved.

When leaving Black Pearl, he also took away two pots of Light Flower.

When passing by Goddess of Freedom Temple, he gave a pot of Light Flower to High Priest Reed.

But the strange thing is that High Priest Reed has no feelings for Light Flower, and seems to be unable to detect the sacred aura of Light Flower at all.

He stood next to the Main Hall, holding a flower pot, and was very happy that Roy could send such a gift.

Roy took another pot of Light Flower home, and he placed Light Flower on the windowsill.

He slept very soundly that night, but when he woke up the next morning, the pot of Light Flower had become wilted.

Roy was so frightened that he quickly moved Light Flower to Goddess of Freedom Temple, pulled Woods out of the bed, and asked him to help see what was wrong with the pot of Light Flower.

Woods could only carry it back to the breeding room. For a whole day, when Roy walked out of Goddess of Freedom Temple and ran to Black Pearl with Woods, the Light Flower actually became full of life again.

But the problem is that Woods has been outside all day long and hasn't taken much care of this Light Flower...

Roy is a little confused as to how Woods did it.

Since Light Flower is difficult to feed, but Roy needs Holy Light Power above Light Flower very much, so Roy can only go home with a pot of Light Flower, and then move it back to Woods, because he can't feed it at all...

But we still have to absorb Holy Light Power from the blades, so we have to do everything possible to get in touch with these Light Flower...

Roy could only move around like this, and the speed at which he obtained Holy Light Power every night also began to speed up.

Woods has recently been trying to water Light Flower with holy water. Although it seems to have no effect, Woods still insists on watering these Light Flower with holy water.

Every time Roy absorbs the holy light attached to Light Flower, he feels that his state is only one step away from Priest.

Elf Academy's courses here are also very intense.

Whether it is astrology or Twin Seas Geography, it is all new knowledge for Roy, and he needs a lot of time to digest this new knowledge.

On the contrary, the martial arts training class has become much easier for Roy.

After he became level nine Novice Priest, learning the elves' close combat and Archery Body Art was not that troublesome.

The elf student who is sparring with Roy is still Klayr.

Although Klayr has been exercising throughout the holiday, during sparring, he will feel that he is clearly no match for Roy.

Because Roy not only crushes Klayr in terms of strength, but is not much slower than Klayr in speed, so every time Roy swings Wooden Stick, Klayr can only struggle to parry.

After some practice, the two sat on the grass slope to rest.

Klayr almost lay on the lawn, turned his head and said to Roy, "Roy, this time our outdoor survival practice class will be held on Hudi Island, let's stay together then."

Roy shook his head and said, "Klayr, I guess it may not work this time. I will take this time to return to Padesto City and cooperate with the military to find Benjamin. It is best to find Abbott. This matter of Jasper must be settled."

After hearing what Roy said, Klayr immediately became interested.

"Roy, how about I also go to Padesto City?"

Roy glanced at Klayr and found that he was very serious when he spoke, so he responded, "Um, are you sure you can handle the teachers in the outdoor practice class?"

"If I say that I went to Padesto City to collect music, maybe it will work." Klayr suddenly sat up from the lawn and said with wide eyes.

At this time, Roy had to remind him, "Actually, going to Padesto City is still a little bit dangerous."

Klayr immediately slapped his chest loudly. "Then you have to take me with you."

"Okay, as long as you can handle the academy, come with us to Padesto."

Roy saw that he couldn't refuse, so he readily agreed.

In the evening, Roy went to Black Pearl again, ready to take away a pot of Light Flower.

When they came to the deck, they found Woods squatting on the deck, carefully looking at the broken place of the main mast.

Although Jasper had hired a carpenter in the city to repair the crack in the main mast, it was obviously structurally weak.

The ship ran aground on the seashore and experienced several strong winds. Some rivets at the broken joints of the main mast began to loosen, and there were even greater damages in the repaired parts of the entire main mast.

Before... these problems were wrapped in wooden boards and no one noticed.

Now these boards have been removed by Woods.

"Roy, why is there such a deep sword mark here?" Woods asked Roy in a low voice.

"During the last battle at the port, I was slashed by the elf captain." Roy answered honestly.

Woods patted his head hard and reminded Roy: "If this ship goes to sea in the future, this may be a hidden danger."

Roy was a little speechless. He also knew that repairing the main mast in this way would not last long, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "... Is there any way? Repairing it like this is the strongest way, unless it is replaced with a new mast, but that is not realistic. Castleton City There is not even a decent ship repair yard here. Even if I buy a piece of wood suitable for the main mast, I can't move it to the ship."

"Maybe I can help." Woods smiled confidently at Roy.

Roy asked curiously, "What are you going to do? Do you need me to prepare a piece of wood for the main mast?"

Woods shook his head and said with a smile, "Roy, do you still remember the window you saw in Earl Swynborne's house?"

"You mean the living window frame?" Roy thought for a long time before he realized that Woods was talking about the window frame.

"I can try to bring the main mast to life and let it repair itself." Woods explained.

Woods's proposal somewhat subverts Roy's perception.

"Can this still happen?"

It seems that Woods is not too sure, he just said, "I want to try..."

"Okay! Then just go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter if you fail. The worst thing you can do is replace the mainmast later."
