Path of light

Chapter 151 152. Progress

At the intersection, Roy returned home after watching the night saber crawl back into his den.

Sitting in front of the desk and seeing the crystal ball on the table, Roy suddenly remembered that this crystal ball should have been taken back by the Naga Killer from the Black Pearl. Thinking of this, he quickly hid the crystal ball inside. Under the bed.

He looked at the sacred scepter under the bed, hesitated for a moment and then changed his attention. He put the sacred scepter and crystal ball into his magic belt bag.

Only then did I feel more at ease, so I simply took a shower, washed my clothes and dried them on the second floor terrace.

He saw Moira practicing the 'Dance of Radiance' on the terrace opposite.

He waved to Moira, indicating that he should go downstairs to sleep.

Moira stopped, took out another towel from the clothesline, wiped the sweat from her face, and nodded obediently...

…

Roy lay on the bed and looked at the curtains that were gently swaying back and forth in the sea breeze. He was always a little worried that Ralph on board would jump in from the window.

Opening his eyes and looking at the dark ceiling, Roy began to wonder how to deal with Captain Ralph and the blood elf magician.

He did not report this matter to the guards because he was worried that the elf patrols of the port guard would alert the enemy. Once Captain Ralph was scared away, it might not be so easy to find them again.

And among the elf patrols in the port guard, almost no one can beat Captain Ralph.

At this time, Roy didn't know that just because the night saber sneaked into the ship, Captain Ralph was so scared that he ran away in a hurry...

As a matter of urgency, Roy wanted to find some reliable helpers, and it was best to catch them both.

The first helper Roy thought of was High Priest Reed.

He saw High Priest Reed displaying powerful magic on the Cliff Avenue. Now that the Holy Grail of Wisdom has been recovered, at least he doesn't have to worry about being unable to hold a temple gathering after exhausting the power of the Holy Light...

The next helper Roy thought of was Instructor Abbott Nora. Ever since he saw Instructor Nora's bravery in the Malaga jungle, Roy believed that Instructor Nora was definitely a powerful elf warrior.

Thinking of this... Roy felt that as long as he could persuade instructor Nora to help, this matter would be easier to handle.

So he planned to tell Instructor Nora about his troubles in the martial arts training class tomorrow morning.

After thinking about it, sleepiness came over him, and Roy curled up on the wooden bed and fell asleep.

While he was sleeping, the holy light seed in his body slowly stretched out five tentacles like an awakening sea anemone, constantly absorbing the surrounding holy light, allowing the power of holy light in Roy's body Keep growing.

The Holy Light Seed already has two small leaves, and the third bud has just emerged.

…

In the early morning, the sun shines through the morning fog on Brown Street.

Roy walked out of the house and saw Sabrina, who was also standing at the door. In recent days, the two have become accustomed to walking together.

In Sabrina's eyes, Roy's image is constantly changing.

She found that Roy was quite a gentleman in other places, except for his occasional stray eyes.

The two of them boarded a long carriage at the intersection of Brown Street.

There were only a few people in the carriage, so Roy and Sabrina could pick their own seats, with Sabrina sitting by the window and Roy right next to the aisle.

Roy liked the smell of lilacs on Sabrina very much. Although the lilac blooming period had passed, she seemed to have made sachets of dried flowers, and she would always have this smell on her body.

The long carriage drove into the lower city, and the mixed-blood elves who boarded the carriage along the way were all talking about one thing: a silver-moon elf priest killed a mixed-blood elf girl in the library.

After Roy listened carefully for a while, he discovered that the name of the murdered mixed-blood elf girl was Windsor, and that the murderer with blood-stained hands was Priest Thorndike.

It turns out that the Windsor case was also investigated...

Roy didn't know why he felt a little more relaxed.

In the past two days, Roy has not met the mixed-blood elf students who had a conflict a few days ago.

After a while, Sabrina's two best friends boarded the long carriage one after another. There were not many passengers in the carriage. Sabrina gently pulled Roy, who was about to give up his seat, and motioned for her friends to sit in the front row.

The two best friends have recently gradually accepted that there will always be a half-elf around their friend. They were a little repelled at first, but now they are used to treating him like nothing.

The two wood elves also have fair skin and have beautiful eyes like emeralds.

Sitting on the double-row chair, with her extremely soft waist, she turned around and whispered to her friend Sabrina:

"Sabrina, did you know? There was another murder case recently where Silver Moon elves persecuted mixed-blood elves. The murderer turned out to be a priest in the Temple of the Moon."

"I heard that he ran into the library and pushed a half-blood elf librarian off the third floor terrace. The librarian fell to death on the spot!"

"Now these Silver Moon elves in the upper city are really going too far!"

"that is……"

Sabrina just listened with surprise, but Roy on the side was thinking: This Thorndike priest probably offended the elf patrols of the guard team too much, but he actually turned this case on so quickly. The murder was discovered.

Roy had always thought that the elf patrols in the guard had limited capabilities, but now it seemed that he really underestimated this group of elf patrols.

The discussion in the carriage gradually became louder, and the mixed-blood elves became very angry. They even began to criticize the privileges of many Silver Moon elves in the city...

…

The carriage finally arrived at the Elf Academy. There were actually fewer students at the entrance of the Elf Academy than before.

Roy jumped out of the car and saw Claire waiting at the door. Claire waved to him vigorously. He was surrounded by a group of Silver Moon elves. When they saw Roy, everyone just smiled and nodded. No one was prepared. Get to know him.

Claire put her arm around Roy's shoulders and waved goodbye to the Silver Moon elves.

The two of them were walking on the corridor, and Claire whispered to Roy:

"Roy, do you know that Priest Thorndike has new troubles!"

"..."

It seems that the entire Castletown city already knows about this.

Claire then said to Roy: "The elf patrols of the guard not only found out that he killed a mixed-blood elf thief, but also killed a mixed-blood elf librarian in the library."

Roy said in his heart: I even know the name of the mixed-blood elf girl, and I still have the diary written by her in my hand.

"Now, the mixed-blood elves in the lower city are holding a protest march under the Tree of Life in Heroes Square." Claire added.

Hearing what Claire said, Roy looked around and found that there were indeed many mixed-blood elves missing from the Elf Academy...

No wonder there seemed to be far fewer elf students on the carriage and at the gate of the college than usual.

"Is that why so many elves in the academy didn't come to class?" Roy said softly.

Claire whispered: "Not only that! Even some teachers from the college went to participate in the protest."

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the training ground for the martial arts training course. A group of elf students had already begun doing some preparatory activities at the training ground.

Claire and Roy also do some stretching and joint mobility to avoid straining ligaments during class.

Instructor Nora will not spare twenty minutes after class for students to do these preparatory activities. As soon as class starts, they must learn basic martial arts.

They also practiced hard every day. Claire also practiced swordsmanship and assassination fighting at home every night. However, after the practical lessons in the Malaga jungle, Claire discovered that Roy not only grew rapidly in physical fitness, but also practiced martial arts sparring in daily life. When he was young, he was often suppressed.

Although the combination of a wooden stick and a shield is very effective against long daggers, Claire also practices assassination combat classes at night...

This makes Claire a little bit incomprehensible.

"Roy, what do you do every afternoon at the temple?"

he asked with some confusion.

Roy took out the stick and shield from the magic belt bag. With the magic belt bag, it is really much easier to do things.

"Except for distributing holy water at the assembly on Wednesday, I usually study magic in the study room," Roy said.

"Magic?"

Roy gave Claire a strange look and said:

"Haven't you seen it before? 'Blessing of Strength', 'Low Light Illumination' and 'Secondary Healing' are these. Hey, Instructor Nora is here..."

Instructor Nora still wears light leather armor, always carries a combat short bow and a long sword on his back, and has his hair tied back in a ponytail.

Another completely suppressed lesson, Claire found that Roy's reaction and speed had improved significantly.

After the martial arts training class ended, Roy did not rush to the classroom for the next class. Instead, he walked to Instructor Nora who was packing his things:

"Instructor Nora, I want to talk to you!"

Instructor Nora looked up at Roy, inserted the wooden sword in his hand back into the weapon rack, looked at him and said:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

In fact, at the beginning of the school year, Abbott Nora had a bad impression of this half-elf, because his physical fitness was very poor, and compared to the elves, he had inherent deficiencies in speed and flexibility. She was actually very He was worried that Roy would become a loser in the martial arts training class.

This would be fine if it were an ordinary elf child, but for a half-elf, once it becomes a topic, it can easily turn into discrimination or differential treatment, and the topic will become very sensitive.

So there was a period of time when school first started, when Abbot Nora tried to persuade the half-elf to leave.

To this end, she even selected a set of martial arts that required the most flexibility and coordination from the martial arts, disassembled the movements and taught them to the elf students.

But it was also from that time on that Instructor Nora kept paying attention to Roy's changes.

Instructor Nora can see Roy's growth in almost every martial arts training class.

His progress was so fast that it completely surpassed the other one hundred and ninety-nine elf students she taught...
