Path of light

Chapter 136 137. The Lost Holy Grail

High Priest Reed stood at the door of the tree house and asked Priest Thorndike:

"Are you saying that Priest Theodore knows about this?"

Priest Thorndike replied:

"Of course, he has been coming here every day recently to treat Master Kralardin..."

High Priest Reed knew about this. According to Priest Theodore, he wanted to use his method to impress more Silver Moon Elf nobles...

The Silver Moon Elf on the side reiterated again:

"According to our agreement, after the teacher dies, the Holy Grail will be returned to its original owner."

Although High Priest Reed still had some doubts in his heart, he was still willing to believe that what they said was true.

So after leaving Master Claire Latin's treehouse, he took Roy and Jasper back to the Temple of Liberty without detaining the two young priests any longer.

As soon as he walked into the temple gate, High Priest Reed couldn't wait to ask Abt:

"Has Priest Theodore come back?"

"Teacher, he never came back," Abt replied.

High Priest Reed was a little worried and walked into the main hall without looking back. Before leaving, he also ordered:

"When he comes back, remember to let me know!"

"Okay, High Priest Reed." Abt agreed loudly.

Roy did not follow Priest Reed back to the Temple of Liberty, but went home directly after hearing that Priest Theodore had not returned.

If Priest Theodore never shows up, the whereabouts of the Holy Grail will remain a mystery.

Abt, who was standing at the gate, looked at Roy and Jasper expectantly.

You can tell from that expression that he wants the two of them to tell him: What did they see when they went to Master Claire Latin's residence this time...

…

But it was already very late, so Roy slipped back home.

This day was simply too long for Roy. He felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He walked listlessly to the door of his house, opened the courtyard door, walked in, and then closed the courtyard door ajar.

A crescent moon climbed up from the sea, and the moonlight shone on the yard.

Moira lay on the wall, supported her hands on the wall, and asked:

"I heard something happened at the Temple of Liberty. Roy, how are you?"

A pair of big and cute eyes made Roy unwilling to deal with her even if he was exhausted.

Roy stopped, turned around and said to the mixed-race girl lying on the low wall:

"Everything is fine!"

Moira could tell that Roy was not in a high mood, but thinking that he would be more bored when he returned home alone, she tried to ask:

"Roy, do we want to practice martial arts tonight?"

Roy actually didn't want to practice very much. He just wanted to take a good bath, then lie on the bed quietly and reorganize what happened today.

But when he saw the twinkling light in Moira's big eyes, he didn't have time to tell her... about the group of sailors who killed Jefferson and were sentenced.

Roy cheered up and said:

"Okay, I just have something else to show you."

Moira squinted her eyes, even more expectantly, and asked Roy with a smile:

"What is it?"

Roy fumbled around in his satchel for a while, and finally took out the magic crystal from the compartment, and threw the magic crystal directly to Moira.

"this!"

Moira's body was as flexible as a night saber. She caught the crystal steadily and exclaimed when she held it in her hand:

"Magic crystal."

Roy grabbed his satchel, then walked towards the house, saying as he walked:

"Well, a very great person gave it to me. Unfortunately, I can't understand what's inside, so now I'm asking you to help me take a look."

Moira immediately became energetic, held the magic crystal firmly in her hand, and said with a proud smile:

"OK!"

Roy pushed open the door and saw the empty living room. Thinking of Ms. Belinda who had already left for Buenos, he said to Moira on the other side of the courtyard wall:

"I'll take a shower first...just take your time and watch first."

I casually took a shower, then washed my clothes and hung them to dry on the second floor terrace.

Moira and Sabrina were sitting on the terrace opposite, watching the image in the magic crystal together.

Both of them watched it with gusto and obviously liked the Elf Sword Dance in it.

Roy tried to stretch the ligaments of his body on the terrace of his home. He found that since drinking the bottle of permanent agility potion, his body's flexibility and balance have been greatly strengthened.

Moira and Sabrina waved to him across the terrace, and then Moira shook the magic crystal in her hand and said loudly to Roy:

"Roy, I want to see this magic crystal a few more times..."

"No problem." Roy waved his hand and agreed readily.

Seeing that Roy seemed to have everything ready, Moira pulled out a dagger from a flowerpot on her terrace, jumped briskly onto the railing of Roy's terrace, and said with some pride:

"Come on, let me see if your martial arts skills have deteriorated in the past month..."

Moira, who was holding a dagger in her hand, immediately seemed to be a different person.

Standing under the moonlight, the whole person is virtual, but her shadow is so clear and real.

Roy had this strange feeling for the first time. He only knew that the Dark Moon Elves had the ability to hide, but he had never seen it before...

This time Roy did not take a wooden hammer, but picked up a round wooden shield from the terrace behind him and a wooden stick next to the clothesline. He tried to swing the wooden stick twice, and the movements were better than holding them with his hands. It feels much lighter when hammering with wood.

Then he waved the wooden stick and attacked Moira.

The wooden stick that swept out made Moi duck down to dodge, and then she lifted the dagger she held in her backhand upwards and stabbed Roy in the chin.

Roy could only press down the log shield in her hand, but the dagger in her hand was as flexible as a snake's letter, and she could spit it out at will.

Her movements were as nimble as a ghost in the night. Roy tried his best to keep up with her speed...

Roy discovered that she and Claire were completely different.

Roy only needs to use his shield to seal Claire's dagger to easily block his attack. However, if Roy wants to use this method to deal with Moira, he is not so smart. Even if he seals Moira's dagger , but it is impossible to tell how she will attack at the next moment. She is the kind of person who can hide herself at any time through the surrounding environment, and can easily gain the initiative in the battle every time.

It wasn't until beads of sweat appeared on Moira's forehead and the tip of her nose that she stopped and stood firmly on the fence of Roy's terrace.

"Roy, you have become a lot stronger. I thought I could hold you down, but I didn't expect you to be able to block them all..."

Moira said in surprise.

Sabrina on the terrace opposite also looked at Roy with some surprise. She also found that Roy's growth in these days was unusually fast...

…

The next day, Roy came to the Elf Academy early.

As usual, the first period was a junior martial arts training class. Roy found that Claire was dressed a bit formally. He was wearing a very decent elf dress. Even the sparring in the martial arts class was very careful, obviously not wanting to get hurt.

Claire's appearance was already somewhat delicate, and when she put on the exquisite dark gold patterned dress, she immediately made some elf girls turn their heads in the martial arts training class.

Even Roy couldn't help but complain about him as a 'slut'.

Roy's second class was geography.

Although such a big thing happened in the outdoor practical class, Roy found...it didn't seem to affect Teacher Harper's status in the Elf Academy.

He still went his own way and walked to the huge sand table, expanded an area at will with the pointer in his hand, and casually began to talk about the landform features of that area.

Roy just felt that no matter how sloppily or quickly he wrote, the speed of recording could never keep up with Teacher Harper's mouth.

After one class, Roy felt his wrists were a little sore...

But just as the class was about to end, Roy suddenly heard a series of beautiful notes coming from the corridor outside the classroom.

In fact, the geography classroom and the music classroom are not far apart, but the music classroom has soundproof cotton. As long as the door is closed tightly, the sound will not be transmitted to the corridor.

At this time, probably the second period was about to end, someone secretly opened the door of the music classroom, and beautiful music came from inside.

The crisp sound of 'ding ding dong dong' flowed out, and the originally chaotic geography classroom gradually became quiet.

"I heard it, what kind of music is that... I've never heard it before. I swear if I heard it, I would definitely be impressed by it!"

A Silver Moon elf next to Roy whispered to his companion.

"This is my first time listening to it, it's really good." Another Silver Moon Elf praised in a low voice: "Do you think it might be the work of the students in the music class?"

"..."

Roy didn't hear what was said after that, because the voices of the two elves became softer.

Only then did he realize that Claire was dressed so formally today because she had a music class.

The bell at the end of the second period rang with the sound of such a beautiful piece of music. This may be the bell that everyone least wants to hear...

But it seemed that the beautiful music had not stopped. When the students poured into the corridor from the classroom, they could still hear the clear and sweet music.

Everyone's steps became extremely light, and no one wanted to disturb this beautiful melody.

Roy knew that Claire had succeeded this time...

…

Returning to the Temple of Liberty, Roy learned that there had been no news from Priest Theodore until now.

The silent guards had new clues and immediately began to investigate the whereabouts of Priest Theodore yesterday afternoon. However, according to the reactions of the neighbors around the tree house of Master Claire Latin, Priest Theodore seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Likewise, no elf saw which direction he left from.

Also disappearing with him was the Holy Grail of Wisdom.

In addition to the guards searching for Priest Theodore all over the world, the Temple of the Moon is also mobilizing the priests of the Temple of the Moon to inquire about Priest Theodore in order to give an explanation to the Temple of Liberty and High Priest Reed.

On the contrary, the Temple of Liberty was relatively quiet. As Priests Andyson and Theodore got into trouble one after another, the gatherings at the Temple of Liberty were not affected much...
