Priest
This semester, Roy only had two courses with final exams. In addition to being very well prepared, Instructor Nora was also the instructor in charge of the martial arts exams, so Roy easily passed both courses.
After leaving Earl Swynborne's treehouse, the Adventure Group automatically disbanded at the door.
The instructors need to return to the Elf Academy to handle unfinished business and also report their upcoming adventure to the academy.
Roy and Sabrina stood on the road waiting for the Long Carriage. Sabrina pursed her lips as Roy recounted some recent events at the academy. The two of them were destined to miss the End-of-Term Ball, and they would also miss Klayr's piano performance at the ball.
Sabrina has the blood of Wood Elf; her eyes are not pure sea blue, but have an emerald green luster, while her skin is as white as Silver Moon Elf.
She was much taller than the Silver Moon Elf, and when she had a cold expression, she exuded a strong sense of oppression, especially with the heavy greatsword on her back. No one in the Elf Academy dared to provoke her.
However, her arms and thighs do not have very obvious muscle contours; they are just very well-proportioned and fit.
She has very few friends, besides her two Half-Elf friends who live in the Lower District, and her circle of Adventure Group.
Sabrina would occasionally smile, and her smile was very bright.
Miss Christine stood on the steps at the entrance of the treehouse, pursing her lips, watching Roy waiting for the carriage at the crossroads.
Earl Swynborne had actually arranged for a carriage to take the instructors away, but Instructor Nora rejected the suggestion because it wasn't on their way.
In Castleton City, it is very convenient to take Long Carriage.
Roy and Sabrina Long Carriage for quite a while, and the two stood at the crossroads chatting for a long time, as if they had endless topics to discuss.
Miss Christine was somewhat displeased...
Earl Swynborne placed his hand on Miss Christine's shoulder, put his arm around her, and turned to walk back to the treehouse, saying as they walked, "I do not approve of you developing feelings for a Half-Elf."
The Silver Moon Elf pursue unbridled freedom and romantic love. The Half-Elf, possessing human bloodlines, tend to have a purer perspective on life.
Many Silver Moon Elf have mated with humans, but their fates were not good. I think their biggest problem was their lifespan. Elves can live for eight hundred years, Half-Elf have to cut their lifespan in half, only living for four hundred years. That is to say, when they finish their lives, you will be experiencing the best time of your life.
But... if you insist on trying, I will fully support you, because... you are Swynborne daughter."
Miss Christine felt a warmth in her heart from her father's profound love, but without a second thought, she resolutely refused:
"I'm just curious about Half-Elf and Half-Elf, but I don't have any such thoughts yet."
After saying this, Miss Christine could only sigh inwardly.
Earl Swynborne smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Miss Christine felt a little relieved. She knew her father's temper; if she agreed, he would probably have his Elf Warrior capture Roy before nightfall...
She didn't want that.
Roy and Sabrina returned to Brown Street together.
Roy is going to the Goddess of Freedom Temple to study divine magic, while Sabrina is going home. She occasionally goes to the Fish Market to help Ms. Jillian sell fish.
In fact, Roy knew that Sabrina's innate superhuman strength was probably inherited from Ms. Jillian's bloodline. The way she held the greatsword was very similar to Ms. Jillian wielding a fish-killing knife to chop fish.
Recently, Roy has been absorbing the Holy Light Particle attached to the Light Flower every night.
Since last night, Roy discovered that the Holy Sapling inside his body had stopped absorbing holy light; it seemed to have entered a period of dormancy.
Roy wanted to take advantage of his free time in the afternoon to ask High Priest Reed about the 'Blessing' spell.
Although High Priest Reed High Priest Reed's name was not listed on the third Expeditionary Force's roster, he knew that his time in Castleton City was running out. Recently, High Priest Reed had been mindlessly cramming Roy with any divine magic Roy wanted to learn or any knowledge that interested Roy.
He didn't care whether Roy could understand or not; he just wanted to memorize these divine runes first, since he could verify them himself later.
Roy recently learned ' Wisdom Blessing ', and now High Priest Reed has begun teaching ' Blessing of Light '. This Blessing Divine Magic is completely beyond Roy's comprehension. According to High Priest Reed, it is an intermediate blessing spell that only High Priest can master.
In fact, High Priest Reed's most proficient skill, ' Blessing of Protection ', had not yet been taught to Roy.
According to High Priest Reed, the ' Blessing of Protection ' is much more difficult than the ' Blessing of Light '.
At least that's what High Priest Reed thought.
In the Study Room, Woods was flipping through an encyclopedia, looking up information about some plants.
High Priest Reed sat opposite Roy, listening to Roy recount his recent predicament...
"... It just stops automatically absorbing the surrounding Holy Light Particle, but everything else is normal," Roy described as best he could.
High Priest Reed nodded repeatedly until Roy stopped, then said to Roy, "You don't need to do anything special right now. You just need to wait for an opportunity to come. The radiance of the Goddess of Freedom cannot reach the Elf Continent. I don't quite understand why you can still have signs of advancement under these circumstances. But these are indeed signs of advancement, that's right."
"You need to calm down and slowly experience the holy light within your body. Perhaps one day... you will be promoted to Priest."
"However... without the Holy Radiance of the Goddess of Freedom and the Holy Light Power into the body, it is truly unbelievable that I could reach this point."
High Priest Reed stared at Roy with some excitement and suggested to him:
"You can try the Wisdom Holy Grail; place Holy Grail by your bedside when you sleep."
After saying this, High Priest Reed took the golden Wisdom Holy Grail from his Magic Pouch and placed it on the round table.
The Wisdom Holy Grail radiates a gentle holy light, like a dimly lit desk lamp.
Roy stared at the Wisdom Holy Grail; he didn't want to bring this trouble home, so he said:
"How can I possibly sleep with such a Holy Grail on my bedside table!"
High Priest Reed thought Roy's words made some sense, so he suggested again, "Why don't you take a bath in the Holy Water Pool? Maybe you'll break through in no time..."
Roy thought about the square Holy Water Pool in the Side Hall and immediately shook his head, rejecting High Priest Reed's suggestion. The holy water there was for believers to drink...
High Priest Reed had no choice but to put the Wisdom Holy Grail into his Magic Pouch.
Roy then began to learn divine magic.
It wasn't until evening that Roy realized it was getting late and went home.
Before leaving the Goddess of Freedom Temple, High Priest Reed instructed Roy to carry the two buckets of holy water home...
Two large wooden barrels of holy water were carried in Roy's hands...
At first, Roy felt very relaxed walking home along Brown Street, but his arms started to ache when he reached the Cross Street Intersection.
He cast a ' Strength Blessing ' on himself at the Cross Street Intersection.
Only then could he easily carry the two buckets of holy water home and pour them into the bathtub in the bathroom.
The two heavy oak barrels, which looked more like converted wine barrels, were placed in the yard by Roy. He planned to take a bath in the holy water, as suggested by High Priest Reed. Perhaps by sitting in the bathtub, he could be promoted to Priest.
An elven girl emerged from the wall, curiously looking at the large wooden barrel Roy had left in the yard.
Sabrina went up to her and patted her on the head.
Moira squinted and glanced at Sabrina...
The commotion they made immediately made Roy look up.
I saw Moira lying by the wall...
Moira asked Roy, "Would you like to practice some martial arts and combat skills?"
"Then let's go."
Roy readily agreed.
With their journey to the Pattington Plane imminent, Roy felt he had to cherish every sparring session with Moira.
The terrace was too cramped and prone to breaking things, so Roy moved the practice area to the backyard.
Moira stood ramrod straight in the courtyard, a blunt, unsharpened short sword held against her arm in a reverse grip, a confident smile on her face...
Roy picked up the scepter and shield and, as soon as he stepped into the meadow, signaled to Moira that they could begin.
Moira conjured two figures, charging towards Roy...
She is like a traveler wandering in the river of time, and the hands of time always seem to turn faster under her feet.
Roy was always a little slow in judging her, which allowed Moira to seize the initiative with each attack, followed by a continuous stream of attacks, as her short sword could attack from all angles.
Her fighting style was definitely not without strategy.
Each movement is a basic assassination technique, but it is combined very cleverly. It can seize the initiative and control the rhythm. The short sword in the hand seems to have a magical Magic Power, omnipresent above the head, below the feet, in front of the body, behind the body... everywhere.
Roy always finds himself on the defensive when facing Moira.
He was always in a passive, defensive position. Without the small Round Shield, he probably wouldn't have lasted three rounds against Moira.
Recently, when the two fought, Roy did not use divine magic, nor did he activate the Magic Rune Array Magic Inscription Construct.
Moira knew Roy wouldn't hurt her, so she attacked with all her might without holding back, making her attacks extremely fierce...
Roy raised his shield to parry Moira's thrusting sword; the short sword grazed the hard shield, sending sparks flying...
Moira wore a smug smile, her long hair flying wildly. The short sword in her hand suddenly disappeared and reappeared in her left hand the next second, slashing down at Roy's wrist along the edge of the shield.
Just then...
Roy had a strange feeling; he saw his body constantly radiating outwards a large amount of Holy Light Power.
The gentle holy light turned his shield silver, and a silver cross mark appeared on the shield in his hand.
Moira's short sword was clearly slicing along the edge of the shield, but it just wouldn't cut through.
The abundant Holy Light Power enveloped Roy's body, converging through Roy towards the Holy Sapling...
The scattered points of holy light around them swirled and converged on the Holy Sapling.
He felt the sapling of the Holy Light Tree within his body rapidly growing larger.
Originally just a seedling in the lower abdomen, it had nine roots of varying lengths.
Now, under the constant infusion of holy light, the sapling is growing rapidly. Originally, it only had a few small leaf pods, but now it has grown a main trunk and even some branches.
The tree was covered with lush leaves, and a well-developed root system grew beneath it...
This Holy Light Tree was inside Roy's body, completely merging with Roy.
The tree canopy filled with holy light is Roy's head, the sturdy trunk is his body, the branches are his hands, and the roots firmly planted in the soil are his feet...
Roy noticed that the Moira and Sabrina sisters didn't seem to see the intense holy light; they only saw Roy suddenly stop and stared at Roy in a flustered manner.
The Sacred Tree was hidden inside Roy's body, and an invisible barrier within his body seemed to shatter instantly.
The sacred sapling transformed into a Holy Light Tree, and the mastery of that power made Roy feel slightly uneasy.
Roy had by this time risen to the Priest...
He raised his arm and felt a rich aura of holy light emanating from it.
Moira and Sabrina looked at Roy, who had completely stopped in the yard, and asked with some concern, "Roy, what's wrong?"
Roy stood there blankly, staring at his hands, and said somewhat uncertainly, "I... I might have advanced to become Priest!"
Sabrina looked at Roy in surprise, not expecting him to advance without saying a word.
Moira, standing to the side, quickly said to Roy:
"Roy, then you should try it out and see if the Priest is any different in battle..."
Roy rebuilt the lost Holy Scepter from the grass, then waved the shield on his arm, feeling the scepter and shield instantly become much lighter...
In the blink of an eye, Moira, transformed into a streak of light, pounced again.
This time... even though Moira turned into a phantom, Roy was able to clearly capture Moira's true form, and then swung his Holy Scepter to block. Moira's short sword seemed to automatically be delivered to Roy's scepter.
Roy caught Moira's movement and successfully blocked Moira fierce attack.
Moira missed her attack and immediately jumped away.
The battle resumed, Roy handled it with ease this time. The two fought back and forth for a long time before finally stopping, reluctantly, at Sabrina's urging.
Afterwards, Roy tried casting ' Strength Blessing ' and ' Wisdom Blessing ' in the courtyard.
Sure enough, after he became Priest, not only did his strength, agility, and physique increase, but his mental power also improved even more.
The ' Strength Blessing ' was easier to cast, and Roy could sense that the ' Strength Blessing ' seemed to have been enhanced...
He swung his arm and found that the small Round Shield on his arm had become light and flimsy, as if it was no longer suitable for him.
