Breaking the Siege
In fact, Roy didn't understand why Princess Ophelia would occasionally exchange a few words with him in class.
According to Roy's understanding of the Silver Moon Elf, as the royal family of the Silver Moon Elf, she should be surrounded by a group of Silver Moon Nobles, and should be surrounded by flowers and applause wherever she goes, rather than staying in a seaside Small City and teaching literature and history in the Elf Academy.
The fact that Sixteenth Group wasn't selected for the Modern Elf History this time clearly relieved the Silver Moon Elf students sitting in Roy's group.
After class, Roy, as usual, left the lecture hall with his textbooks and walked briskly to the academy gate, intending to take Long Carriage back to Brown Street to study divine magic at the Goddess of Freedom Temple.
While waiting for the bus, several Silver Moon Elf from Sixteenth Group walked out of the academy together.
As they passed the station, they saw Roy, and several Silver Moon Elf whispered among themselves.
One of the most beautiful Silver Moon Elf was chosen, and she walked gracefully to Roy. With a reserved smile, she invited Roy:
"Roy, don't you have any classes this afternoon? How about we go to the library together? We're planning to look up some information on the Renaissance, and we can break down the tasks later."
Roy couldn't remember her name, but he knew she was a member of Group Sixteen, so he quickly explained, "Sorry, I have to rush to the Goddess of Freedom Temple this afternoon to do my part-time job."
The Silver Moon Elf lady pursed her lips, a look of curiosity in her eyes, but said, "Oh, alright then... see you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he waved to Roy, turned around, and walked briskly across the street with a group of Silver Moon Elf.
Roy jumped onto the train and found a window seat.
Since he receives four hundred Kole from the temple every week, he doesn't care about the one Kole fare, which has made him used to taking the Long Carriage back to Brown Street recently.
The carriage moved slowly forward, and Roy leaned out of the window to feel the sea breeze coming towards him.
The Long Carriage quickly entered the Lower District. When Roy looked out the window, he saw that there were many stalls on the street, almost one after another.
This is a scene unique to the Lower District, where the streets are always full of local flavor, and many stalls sell seasonal summer fruits.
The Long Carriage could only move slowly forward in the middle of the street...
"Clang..."
The sound of metal weapons clashing reached Roy's ears, but it was far away and the sound was muffled, especially in this noisy and chaotic area, making it even harder to distinguish.
But Roy knew immediately that it was the sound of longswords clashing.
He looked out the window curiously, searching for the source of the sound.
Just as the Long Carriage passed the entrance of an alley, a Dark Moon Elf wearing Light Leather Armor armor darted out from inside.
Upon seeing the bustling street, his pupils visibly contracted.
He held a dagger in his backhand, had white hair, and a thin face that looked quite young. He seemed unfamiliar with the area.
Just as he was wondering where to run, Roy, who was in the Long Carriage, had already leaned out most of his body and was waving vigorously at the Dark Moon Elf was standing dumbfounded at the street corner...
The Dark Moon Elf immediately spotted Roy waving at him from the carriage.
He immediately ran towards the carriage, and after darting out of the alley, he charged forward like a cheetah...
Just before a group of Elf Ranger out of the alley, he successfully slipped into the carriage.
The Elf Ranger stood at the alley entrance, looking around, and found that the Dark Elf seemed to have vanished into thin air.
On the bustling street, neither the stall owners nor the passersby seemed to notice anything amiss...
The Elf Ranger captain wiped the sweat from his face, took a deep breath, and strode towards the nearest fruit stall owner at the street corner.
On the Long Carriage, the Dark Moon Elf casually found a seat and sat down. Watching the Elf Ranger who had chased him for seven streets being easily shaken off, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Roy in front of him.
The two did not exchange any words in the Long Carriage until it stopped at the Cross Street Intersection of Long Carriage Brown Street, where Roy jumped off.
The Dark Moon Elf also stepped down from the Long Carriage...
Standing in front of Mrs. Winnie's Potion Shop, Roy glanced back at the Dark Moon Elf, his eyes conveying a 'why are you still following me?' look.
The Dark Elf stood at the entrance of the Potion Shop, feeling a chill run down his spine.
He walked up to Roy. "Why are you helping me?"
"Help you? You're overthinking it! I just ran into an acquaintance and politely greeted them..."
After saying that, Roy raised the corners of his mouth, a hint of smugness flashing across his face, and strode towards the Goddess of Freedom Temple.
The Dark Moon Elf stood still until Roy had walked far away before turning and leaving.
Roy walked into the courtyard of the Goddess of Freedom Temple and glanced out through the iron fence of the courtyard wall. The Dark Moon Elf did not follow.
Only then did he walk towards the backyard of the temple. As he passed by the well, he subconsciously glanced at it, as if Priest Anderson were sitting there in a daze.
Although Roy hadn't had much contact with Priest Anderson, the impression Priest Anderson left on Roy was extremely deep.
Roy pushed open the door and entered the Study Room. Abbott was sitting at the round table, flipping through a travelogue. Roy saw that he had turned to the page with illustrations and was staring blankly at the Endless Sea outlined in the illustrations.
Roy leaned over and took a look.
He has recently been studying the geography of the Elf Continent, and based on what he has learned, he can tell that the Endless Sea depicted in the illustration is just a figment of the illustrator's imagination, and the coastline near the Elf Continent does not match the actual coastline at all.
Abbott saw Roy walk in, smiled at him, and explained in a low voice, "I just happened to flip through this page, so I thought I'd see if I could find any clues..."
Roy said to Abbott, "Abbott, if you really want to look up information, the city library has more comprehensive maps, especially the nautical charts related to navigation that you can borrow."
He walked around to the front of the bookshelf, selected "Detailed Explanation of Minor Healing" from the shelf with a row of divine spell books, and placed it on the round table.
"I thought you would learn ' Purification Art ' first!" Abbott glanced at Roy and said.
Roy smiled, patted the thick metal cover of the book, and said:
"' Minor Healing ' is more practical, a must-have for home and travel. As for ' Purification Art,' well, you can't really encounter ghosts that easily..."
Speaking of this, Abbott said with some emotion, "Yes, for a period of time, Jasper and I didn't receive a single commission for more than half a year."
Roy placed the book on the round table, opened the pages, looked at the detailed diagrams of the divine runes, and began to practice seriously.
Since killing the ghost in the Torture Chamber on the Black Pearl, Roy discovered that the Seed of Light within his body had not only grown stronger, but the sprout on that seed had also grown a little more, and he also felt a renewed surge of holy light within him...
Not long after, the wooden door to the Study Room was pushed open from the outside.
High Priest Reed walked in from outside and saw Roy practicing divine magic intently. He came behind him and silently watched him draw divine runes by hand until Roy finished drawing the entire rune with difficulty. Then he bent down and pointed out some obvious flaws in the runes drawn with a pencil, correcting them one by one.
High Priest Reed spoke gently and patiently, waiting until everything was done before speaking to Roy:
"Tomorrow's gathering will require a pool of holy water, and this time we also need you to pour holy light into the pool."
"Okay, teacher." Roy agreed without any hesitation.
Roy poured holy light into the Holy Water Pool for the first time, but unexpectedly, it happened to coincide with Priest Anderson forcibly performing a séance, and the gathering that day was forced to stop.
This was the second time Roy had poured holy light into the Holy Water Pool...
"Thank goodness you were there to help me." High Priest Reed patted Roy on the shoulder with a look of relief.
"Teacher, this is what I should do."
As Roy said this, he couldn't help but touch the money pouch at his waist...
High Priest Reed's gaze fell upon the travelogue in front of Abbott. He walked over Abbott Abbott and said:
"Abbott, you and Jasper should read books about divine magic and memorize more Holy Prayer in your daily lives. Only in this way can you increase your Holy Light Affinity."
"Understood, High Priest Reed!" Abbott quickly stood up and replied cautiously.
Since the Investigator left Castleton, Priest Theodore has rarely returned to the temple lately, and each time he does come back, he only changes his clothes and then leaves in a hurry.
Currently, the Castle Town Goddess of Freedom Temple is being maintained by only High Priest Reed and three Novice Priest.
The only saving grace is that Roy Holy Light Affinity, and he was able to pour holy light into the Holy Water Pool, which solved a major problem.
The Holy Water Pool has just been scrubbed clean, at least ensuring that the holy water given to believers is clean.
Roy pushed a ball of holy light from his palm into the Holy Water Pool. The ball of holy light would slowly dissipate after about half an hour, at which point the pool would be filled with some holy light.
Tomorrow morning, Roy will have to get up early and go to the temple for another infusion before he can go to the Elf Academy for classes.
By noon, the Holy Water Pool will be filled with Holy Light Power...
Roy straightened up, intending to walk out of the Side Hall.
The side door of the Side Hall was suddenly pushed open, and Jasper peeked out from behind it, asking Roy:
"Roy, are we going to the Black Pearl later?"
"Okay! Let's do it together..."
Roy readily agreed, Jasper spent all his free time these past two days decorating his Sea View Room.
Roy's captain's cabin didn't even have a bed. Roy planned to use the leftover planks from the Black Pearl to make a single bed. He figured he didn't have much time during the week, only the evenings were relatively free...
