Nancy's Eye for Talent

On the third day after Roy became Priest

Instructor Nora then led the Adventure Group members on a sea voyage to Pattington Island.

Last time, Woods was an unofficial member of the Adventure Group. Before this trip, Instructor Nora took Woods to join the Adventurers Guild.

In fact, Instructor Nora was very happy that Woods was willing to join the Elf Academy Adventure Group.

Woods is a shapeshifting druid, a very rare class in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom...

Roy's discovery of a druid boy from the Pattington Plane Pattington Plane was another major gain for the Adventure Group.

The Adventure Group stood on the deck, gazing at the azure sea. A flock of gulls followed the ship, but no passengers were willing to throw them food...

There were very few passengers on board, and the cabins below deck were almost entirely filled with various supplies.

The sea breeze filled the sails...

With a series of creaking and groaning sounds, it was as if a pair of large hands were pushing a ship away from the harbor.

Moira and Tiffany stood on the Black Pearl, both gazing at the departing ship.

"I wish we could join their Adventure Group and travel between different dimensions with them someday..."

Moira pouted, her blue eyes filled with anticipation.

Only in front of Tiffany would Moira be willing to tell him all her thoughts.

Miss Tiffany leaned forward, one hand on the gunwale, her upper body almost completely overboard, her loose curly hair disheveled by the sea breeze.

If Moira has a pure and lovely appearance, Miss Tiffany's sweet face is more intellectual.

"Moira, come to the Elf Academy next semester too. We can take the same courses and not only study together, but if you perform well at the academy, you'll also have the chance to Instructor Nora's Adventure Group like Sabrina and Roy."

Miss Tiffany's words indeed greatly appealed to Moira.

Can we?

Moira said somewhat uncertainly.

Tiffany, her face radiating confidence, said to Moira:

"Although I am Naga Sea Clan, I am skilled in Water Magic. As for you... By the way, have you thought it through? Taking this step means choosing... whether to become a Sword Dancer or an assassin?"

Without any hesitation, Moira decisively said, "I want to be Sword Dancer."

"Just like your sister?"

"Mmm," Moira replied.

Miss Tiffany frowned; she didn't approve of Moira's choice and said to Moira:

"Your strength is too weak. You're clearly suited for the path of an assassin or Elf Ranger. A heavily armored Elf Warrior is really not for you. Besides, look, the Elf Academy Adventure Group already has a Sword Dancer, your sister Sabrina. Just training her is already a lot of trouble. I doubt they'll recruit a second Sword Dancer anytime soon..."

Miss Tiffany's analysis was very logical, Moira stared blankly at the ship sailing further and further away, finally beginning to waver...

Roy visited Pattington Island for the third time.

Everyone jumped off the boat and walked along the dock into the town...

This time, no one took a carriage. Perhaps it was because there were hardly any passengers at the dock, and the carriages that were waiting outside the dock to pick up passengers had all disappeared.

The Adventure Group did not directly enter the Pattington Plane.

Before entering the Pattington Plane, Instructor Nora always liked to stay overnight at Nancy's family hotel.

In the evening Nancy made Apple-filled Pumpkin Cake for everyone. Boss 'Nancy cooking skills have never disappointed. This time, Miss Christine sat at the table very properly. Although she only ate one berry during the meal, she sat with everyone until the very end.

Roy ate the most at this dinner; he thought it tasted a bit like fried cake.

In the past year, he seems to have forgotten who he used to be.

The knowledge he had acquired before seemed utterly useless in this Elven Kingdom. Was he supposed to demonstrate solving a quadratic equation in two variables, or tell the elves that pi is 3.1415926...?

On the contrary, the divine magic learned in the Goddess of Freedom Temple and the martial arts learned in the Elf Academy are more practical.

"So Half-Elf like to eat this?"

Instructor Virgil asked Roy, who was sitting opposite him.

"Um... it really suits my taste."

Roy said frankly.

He is a Half-Elf, as everyone knows.

It's only natural that people have different food preferences.

Instructor Nora and Miss Scarlett sat with Nancy in the living room, while the rest of the members returned to their rooms to rest.

Nancy, holding knitting needles in both hands, said to Instructor Nora while knitting:

"This time, the group of young people you brought has changed a lot. Nora, although your strength is not that great, your eye for talent is excellent. I dare say that these promising talents are rare even in the Elf Academy of Castleton City..."

Instructor Nora and Miss Scarlett exchanged a smile upon receiving such affirmation from Nancy.

"Are they really that good?" Miss Scarlett asked curiously, her eyes wide.

"Of course, it's a bit early to say that now, but they are all young people who are very worth nurturing and have a lot of room for growth in the future."

Nancy seemed to know what Miss Scarlett wanted to ask. She looked up at Miss Scarlett, then lowered her head again, paused for a moment, and then said, "Sabrina, is that the right name?"

This time, she didn't look up, but said to herself, "... The last time I saw her, I remember she was just an ordinary Elf Warrior, but now she has completed her first job advancement and become a true Sword Dancer."

Instructor Nora was very familiar with Sabrina.

Although it was Instructor Virgil who brought Sabrina into the Adventure Group, it was Instructor Nora who provided the most help to Sabrina afterward.

"Yes, when I first discovered her, I thought her strength and explosiveness were outstanding. I didn't expect that she was not only very hardworking, but also had outstanding talent," Instructor Nora said.

Nancy nodded and then said:

"That Druid Boy is also quite good. He seems quiet, but that's because he's put the wildness in his heart into a cage. You need to pay close attention to him during battles. He's the kind of person who will fight without hesitation. Once the cage in his heart is opened, he's a roaring bear."

Instructor Nora clearly disagreed with the comments made about Woods.

"No way, Woods is usually very rational," Instructor Nora retorted.

Nancy didn't argue, but simply smiled and said:

"Maybe so, just be more careful."

She smoothed the yarn with her hand, making the ball of yarn spin around, and then added, "No matter how an elf changes, his character will never change."

When Instructor Nora heard Nancy say this, she immediately replied seriously, "Okay, I will pay more attention."

Nancy nodded, then said expressionlessly:

"As for the Swynborne ladies, I probably don't need to comment on them!"

Instructor Nora said, "Your silence is the best compliment. Everyone knows that the Swynborne Family members possess the bloodline talent of Elf Archer."

Nancy continued, "That Half-Elf boy, the one who likes pumpkin pie, is called... Roy. He seems to be the most special one. The last time I saw him, I didn't know what was wrong with him, but this time I understand..."

"Could you be a little clearer?" Instructor Nora probably couldn't stand Nancy's rambling any longer, so she tactfully suggested that she say something more important.

Nancy paused for a moment and glared at Instructor Nora.

"He's Priest at the Goddess of Freedom Temple, isn't he?" Nancy asked.

Instructor Nora replied, "Yes, he is currently studying divine arts at the Castle Town Goddess of Freedom Temple."

Nancy glanced down the corridor and said, "You probably don't know... but since two years ago, all the Priest of the Goddess of Freedom Temple on the Elf Continent have been unable to advance their ranks, right?"

Instructor Nora was startled. This kind of thing should be a secret of the Goddess of Freedom Temple, and the Priest wouldn't go around talking about it.

Nancy knew all this so clearly...

Instructor Nora snapped out of her turmoil and immediately noticed the problem. She quickly exclaimed, "Ah, this... no, Roy can advance... he just advanced to become Priest."

Nancy gave Instructor Nora a deep look, then lowered her voice and said:

"That's right, that's what makes him special. Although he's Priest at the Goddess of Freedom Temple, he's completely different from other Priest. I guess he didn't advance through the Holy Radiance of Goddess of Freedom; he might not even be a believer in Goddess of Freedom ..."

Instructor Nora frowned and said, "We just need a priest who is good at Healing Spell. You know... the priests at the Moon God Temple don't want to join the Half-Elf Adventure Group, so I decided to bring him along. As for whether he is a follower of the Goddess of Freedom, that's not that important to us."

"A year ago, when he first entered the Elf Academy, he was just a young Half-Elf who knew nothing. I never expected that he would be promoted to Priest in just one year..."

Nancy was a little surprised. She had originally intended to continue the conversation on this topic, but after thinking about it, she ultimately said nothing.

Pattington Plane

The Padesto City has finally regained some vitality, but there will be no more Half-Elf in the city until the peace talks are successful.

Many nobles also tried every means to leave the Padesto City. No one dared to say that they had no connection with Baron Alvis. To avoid trouble, leaving the Padesto City was the wisest choice.

Recently, the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion has been acquiring so many idle manors that they're almost overwhelmed.

After all, it is a rich and large plane.

In the Central Square, a notice to appease the Half-Elf was still posted on the notice board, but in the current situation, who would believe a mere piece of paper on the notice board? Roy, along with Instructor Nora and her group, traveled through the Teleportation Portal and arrived back in the Pattington Plane.

This Teleportation Pass was issued by the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, and the pass in Instructor Nora's hand was even more special, as it was stamped with the seal of Earl Swynborne. Upon seeing the Earl's seal, the Teleportation Portal guards immediately saluted Instructor Nora and her party.

He then ran to the edge of the square and called a carriage for the group, which carried the Adventure Group to the inn.

After Roy was promoted to Priest, he felt for the first time that the world in his eyes was clearer and more vivid than before. Even with his eyes closed, the surrounding space could be clearly imprinted in his mind. He could easily recall some details, such as when he passed through the Teleportation Portal. He had only glanced at the Teleportation Portal guard casually, but now he could clearly recall his appearance.

Roy sat in the carriage, unable to resist reaching out to look through the pages repeatedly...

Instructor Nora knew that Roy was slowly getting used to his newfound power, and said to him:

"For the next period of time, you need to consolidate your existing power. Once you are fully accustomed to it, continue to accumulate strength and try to break through. In the process, you should also gradually understand your own 'momentum'. I know that many Priest ' 'momentum' is the Goddess of Freedom. I look forward to your 'momentum' being different!"

Sabrina possessed her own 'power', so Roy knew what Instructor Nora was talking about...

"Instructor Nora, how did you come to understand 'momentum' back then?" Roy asked curiously.

"Well... it might be different for every spirit. When I sensed 'momentum,' I was focused on practicing martial arts. At that time, I didn't even realize that I had sensed 'momentum.' It wasn't until I punched the training dummy and sent it flying that I discovered a huge phantom behind me, which allowed me to gain immense power for a short period of time."

Instructor Nora recalled.

"You can't imagine how terrifying it was... Nora punched that training dummy more than a hundred meters away, and the entire training dummy completely fell apart. You should know that the training dummy at the Elf Academy is made of Moda Wood that can absorb half of the damage," Instructor Eleanor added from the side.

"It was because of this incident that the Elf Academy later added a school rule: students are prohibited from using academy items during their advancement period."

Instructor Gru also took the opportunity to speak.

Roy, Sabrina, Christine, and Woods were surprised to learn that Instructor Nora had such a 'glorious history,' and they all looked at Instructor Nora with admiration.

"So, any of you, whoever you are, whoever dares to damage the academy's public facilities during the advancement period, will have to pay for it at the original price..."

Instructor Nora said with a stern face.

Everyone chatted and laughed all the way, and soon arrived at the hotel in Padesto City.

This time we stayed at the same hotel as last time...

When the Boss saw Instructor Nora and her group enter the lobby, he quickly took out the prepared key tray and led everyone up the spiral staircase to the treehouse.

"How long are you going to stay this time?" the Boss asked Instructor Nora.

"About three days," Instructor Nora said.

"If you need anything, just come downstairs and call me..."

The Boss opened the doors of the treehouses one by one and addressed everyone.

"Has the Free Market not recovered yet?" Instructor Nora asked.

The Boss stopped and turned to look at Instructor Nora. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Free Market has been closed for a long time, but if you want to buy monster materials and Magic Herbs, there are still some ways. An Underground Market has recently appeared in Padesto City."

Instructor Nora waved her hand and said, "Never mind, I was just asking. I'll come find you again if I want to go..."
