Path of light

Chapter 139 140.

Abt was sitting in the concierge at the gate of the temple. He was not sleepy at all. He looked out the window with some reluctance.

There were several geographical atlases on the concierge's table, and a lot of information was recorded on the sheepskin booklet beside them. Abt took detailed notes on all the atlases he had browsed.

But so far, no nautical map has been found that resembles the treasure map...

Among Jasper, Abbott, and Roy, he seems to be the only one who has a very strong interest in pirate treasures. He spends almost all his spare time looking for navigation maps.

Recently, I have become even more obsessed with it.

…

Roy looked at the dark night. In fact, he was a little hesitant as to whether he should run out so late... to find the whereabouts of Priest Theodore.

Jasper squatted next to the night saber and looked at the big cat with some awe. It could be seen that he was still a little scared, especially because the night saber would occasionally show its sharp teeth. Jasper even dared not come close. .

"Roy, when did you become so familiar with Mrs. Winnie's night saber?"

"I've been familiar with it a long time ago. At that time, I often held a wooden stick and wanted to try to challenge it..."

As Roy said that, he gave the clothes worn by Priest Theodore to the night saber to smell.

Night Saber smelled the clothes worn by Priest Theodore in Roy's hand, turned around and walked towards the intersection without even looking at Roy.

Brown Street is quiet at night.

The Castletown Port not far away was very lively, and there were even ships docking at the port at this time.

The sea breeze makes the summer nights very cool, a ray of gray cloud covers the crescent moon in the night sky, and the streets become darker...

Almost all the shops on both sides of the street were closed.

At this time, a night saber was walking in front, and two mixed elves followed side by side. They had to trot to keep up with the night saber's speed.

The night saber kept walking uptown...

Roy and Jasper followed, chatting as they walked.

"Jasper, how long has it been since you last seen Miss Tiffany?" Roy asked softly.

It was very quiet at night.

Even if you speak very quietly, it will still be clear and transmitted far...

"She said she wanted to learn some Naga magic. The Siren Witch is very strict. I haven't seen her for more than a month..."

Jasper sighed slightly and said.

Roy joked: "I must have forgotten you."

Jasper said bitterly: "Probably not... But even if you forget me, there is nothing you can do. She is a Naga and I am an elf. There would be nothing between the two of us. result……"

This was the first time Roy had seen Jasper with such a pessimistic attitude.

The two of them walked directly through the lower city. This journey took nearly an hour. Even though the two of them were full of energy, when they crossed the cliff avenue, Roy still pulled Jasper and sat down on the roadside, preparing to rest. a while.

In the lower city area, the elf patrols rarely come out to patrol at night.

But the upper city area is different. This is where the Silver Moon elves live. Almost every once in a while, elven patrols will appear on the road.

…

The night saber ran and stopped along the way, constantly sniffing around.

They actually brought Roy and Jasper directly in front of Master Claire Latin's tree house. The forest glade here was very quiet. After the gray clouds in the night sky drifted away, the moonlight poured into the trees of the tree house. .

Originally, the forest of the tree house was a bit dark, but through the beams of moonlight in the forest, it turned out to be particularly quiet and beautiful...

The Night Saber brought Roy and Jasper to the door of Master Claire Latin's house, which shocked Roy. However, the Night Saber then walked around again, without stopping at the door of Master Claire Latin's house, and headed directly towards He ran towards the west.

Nightsaber ran to many places, and during this period he also made a long circle in the upper city.

Although the Night Saber had reduced its speed to a minimum, Roy still felt as if his legs were filled with lead while walking all the way.

Nightsaber can even take Roy and Jasper to avoid the elf guards on patrol.

It wasn't until a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon that the night saber emerged from the treehouse where the Silver Moon elves lived and followed a path to the river.

There are many water willows growing on both sides of the river, and a large number of branches and leaves hang down into the river.

Roy discovered that the river was actually the Dane River, and the location here was also to the west of the uptown area. There were actually tree houses on the riverside.

After the Nightsaber came here, it stopped accommodating Roy and Jasper. It began to run around, searching for the whereabouts of Priest Theodore, not wanting to let go of any place...

Roy and Jasper were hiding under the willow tree by the Dane River, and the gurgling river water flowed past them, making a gurgling sound.

It can be seen that this night saber has been discovered nearby.

And there must be some danger around, because every time the night saber crawls out, it hides itself in the shadows.

Soon the night saber locked on a tree house by the river, but Roy found that the night saber became more cautious. It almost sneaked all the way there, and then exited in the sneaking state, without even thinking of taking Roy with him. Yi and Jasper came closer.

It came to the water willow tree by the river and lay down next to Roy and Jasper without making a sound, even squinting its eyes to hide its scent.

Seeing the night saber looking like it was facing a formidable enemy, Roy knew that it must have discovered something, and that the area must be extremely unsafe.

Otherwise, Night Saber would never be like this...

Roy and Jasper looked at each other, and they guessed that Priest Theodore might be hiding in the tree house in front.

At this time, the sky became brighter again.

Before the two of them could take any action, they saw from another direction, a group of elven guards using the cover of night to surround them from all directions.

Even in the direction of the river, there were five elves patrolling.

At this time, Roy knew...it must be that the elf patrols also discovered the whereabouts of Priest Theodore, so they launched this round-up operation.

"what to do?"

Jasper asked softly against Roy's ear.

"I'll keep an eye on it while I go back to find High Priest Reed."

Jasper hesitated for a moment. He wanted Roy to go back and call for help. After all, it was more dangerous to stay here. However, after taking a look at the night saber next to Roy, he felt that he might not be able to control it, so he nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, Jasper retreated along the original path.

Roy and Nightsaber climbed into a water willow tree and hid themselves under the dense branches and leaves.

Night Saber's body exudes a hidden aura, and it even wraps up Roy...

Roy and Night Saber were lying quietly on the horizontal branches, and the five elves guarding the riverside didn't even notice at all.

Roy secretly counted and found that there were more than twenty elf guards he saw. There were already elf patrols near the wooden door of the tree house, and then he saw several elf guards breaking into the door at the same time.

No sound of fighting could be heard...

At least a dozen elf guards rushed into the tree house.

Roy and Night Saber hid in the willow tree and waited quietly. A few minutes later, they heard that a window on the tree roof suddenly collapsed, and Priest Theodore wearing leather armor actually got out of the window of the tree house. , he also held a scepter in his hand.

It's just that this big tree is a bit tall, and the windows on the roof of the tree are also very high.

Priest Theodore got out of the window and slid down the tree trunk. He looked panicked, and his body was still filled with a faint aura of holy light.

But the moment he emerged from the tree house, the elf guards guarding outside had already noticed him, and the elf guards quickly surrounded Priest Theodore.

Priest Theodore slipped from the tree. He failed to hold the trunk with one hand and fell firmly to the ground when he fell.

Priest Theodore hurriedly got up from the ground, quickly drew a divine pattern with the staff in his hand, and as he recited the incantation, a hammer of judgment appeared in front of Priest Theodore.

As the hammer of holy light flew out, the elf guards blocked it in a panic.

At this time, Priest Theodore did not dare to stay in front of the tree house at all. He quickly ran towards the Dane River. His left leg seemed to be injured, and he was still limping when he ran.

He was running almost as hard as he could, so he was very fast.

The five elf guards standing in front of him were caught off guard and were knocked back two steps by the hammer of the Holy Light. This gave Priest Theodore an opportunity to take advantage of them.

After Priest Theodore ran to the river, he suddenly jumped into the Darnay River...

‘Plop’

A splash of water appeared in the Dane River, and the voice of Priest Theodore also disappeared on the river.

The Elf Guards who caught up from behind arrived at the riverside late, and two Elf Guards threw themselves into the river. They swam dozens of meters away and emerged from the river one after another.

It's a pity that the two elf patrols did not see any trace of Priest Theodore...

When the elf patrols realized that they could not find Priest Theodore in the Danne River, they took a deep breath and plunged into the river again.

…

In fact, at the riverside, Nightsaber and Roy jumped into the river together with Priest Theodore...

Roy, who often fishes at the beach, is actually pretty good at water.

Nightsabers can also swim.

Of course, compared with the Naga Sea Clan, whether it is Night Saber or Roy, there is an insurmountable gap.

In the river, Roy saw Priest Theodore swimming with all his strength downstream.

Roy saw that the night saber was like a big and flexible fish in the river. He had an idea and grabbed the night saber by its tail. Then, pulled by the night saber, he quickly chased towards the lower reaches of the Darne River.

Priest Theodore in the river could see a bubble behind him, and thought it was the elf guards catching up.

He didn't dare to show his head on the water, so he held his breath and dived downstream with all his strength...

With the push of the current, Priest Theodore swam very fast in the river.

Nightsaber and Roy followed closely behind, and soon they swam out of this section of the river.
