Path of light

Chapter 277 278. Priest

This semester, Roy only had two courses that were subject to final assessment. In addition to his thorough preparation, Instructor Nora was also the instructor in charge of the martial arts assessment, so Roy passed the assessment easily in both courses.

After leaving Lord Swinburne's treehouse, the members of the adventure group automatically disbanded at the door.

The instructors need to return to the Elf Academy to deal with unfinished business, and also report to the academy about the upcoming adventure.

Roy and Sabrina stood on the road waiting for the long carriage. Sabrina pursed her lips and listened to Roy telling some recent events in the college. They were destined to be unable to attend the final dance, and there was no way Claire would be there. Piano performance at the ball.

Sabrina has the blood of a wood elf. Her eyes are not pure sea blue, but have an emerald green luster, but her skin is as white as a silver moon elf.

She is much taller than the Silver Moon Elf. When she has a cold face, she exudes a strong sense of oppression, especially with the heavy sword on her back. No one dares to provoke her in the Elf Academy.

However, her arms and thighs have no obvious muscle outlines, they are very well-proportioned and toned.

She has few friends, except for her two mixed-blood elf best friends who live in the Lower City, and then there is the circle of adventure groups.

Sabrina smiles occasionally, and her smile is bright.

Miss Christine stood on the steps at the door of the tree house, pursed her lips, and looked at Roy who was standing at the intersection waiting for the carriage.

In fact, Earl Swinburne arranged a carriage to send the instructors away, but this proposal was rejected by instructor Nora because it was not a smooth ride for everyone.

In the city of Castletown, it is very convenient to take a long carriage.

It's just that Roy and Sabrina waited for the long carriage for a long time. They stood at the intersection and chatted for a long time, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

Miss Christine is a little unhappy...

Earl Swinburne put his hand on Miss Christine's shoulder, hugged her, turned around and walked back to the tree house, saying as he walked:

"I disapprove of your feelings for a half-elf.

Silver Moon elves pursue unfettered freedom and romantic love. Half-elves have human blood heritage, and their views on life will appear purer.

There have been many Silver Moon elves who have combined with humans, but their endings have not been very good. I think the biggest problem they face is lifespan. Elves can live eight hundred years, and half-elves have to be cut off by half, only four. It's only a hundred years, which means that when he finishes his life, you will just have the best time of your life.

But...if you insist on giving it a try, I will give you my full support because...you are a Swinburne daughter. "

The deep father's love made Miss Christine feel warm in her heart, but she decisively refused without thinking:

"I'm just curious about mixed elves and half-elves, but I don't have that idea yet."

After saying this, Miss Christine could only sigh secretly in her heart.

Earl Swinburne smiled slightly and said nothing else.

Miss Christine felt a little more relaxed. She knew her father's temper. If she nodded and agreed, he would probably let his elf warriors capture Roy before dark...

She didn't want that.

…

Roy and Sabrina return to Brown Street together.

Roy is going to the Temple of Liberty to learn magic, while Sabrina is going home. She occasionally goes to the fish market to help Ms. Gillian sell fish.

In fact, Roy knew that Sabrina's natural power should be inherited from Ms. Gillian's bloodline. Looking at the big sword in her hand, she looked very much like Ms. Gillian holding a fish-killing knife to kill fish.

Roy has been absorbing the Holy Light particles attached to the Flower of Light every night lately.

Starting last night, Roy discovered that the sacred sapling in his body no longer absorbed the holy light. It seemed to have entered some kind of dormant period.

Roy wanted to take advantage of his free time in the afternoon to ask High Priest Reed about the 'blessing' magic.

Although the name of High Priest Reed was not included in the list of the third batch of expeditionary force, High Priest Reed also knew that his time in Castletown City was limited. Recently, as long as it was the magic that Roy wanted to learn, he would High Priest Reed was mindlessly imparting knowledge to Roy that interested him.

He didn't care whether Roy could understand it or not. He should memorize these divine patterns first. After all, he could verify them by himself later.

Roy recently learned the 'Blessing of Wisdom', and now High Priest Reed has begun to teach 'Blessing of Light'. This blessing magic is completely beyond the scope of Roy's understanding. According to High Priest Reed, this is something that only high priests can do. Mastered the intermediate blessing magic.

In fact, the 'Blessing of Sanctuary' that High Priest Reed is best at has not yet been taught to Roy.

According to High Priest Reed, the ‘Blessing of Shelter’ is much more difficult than the ‘Blessing of Light’.

At least that's what High Priest Reed thinks.

…

In the study room,

Woods was flipping through an encyclopedia and looking at information about some plants.

High Priest Reed sat across from Roy and listened to Roy talk about the difficulties he had faced recently...

"...It just no longer automatically absorbs the surrounding holy light particles. Everything else is normal." Roy tried his best to describe.

High Priest Reed kept nodding his head until Roy stopped and then said to Roy:

"You don't need to do anything special now. You just need to wait for an opportunity to come. The glow of the Statue of Liberty cannot shine on the Elf Continent. I don't understand why you can still have the power before promotion under such circumstances. A sign, this is indeed a sign before promotion, yes.”

"You need to calm down recently and slowly realize the holy light in your body. Maybe when... you will be promoted to a priest."

"It's just... without the Holy Glory of the Statue of Liberty and the power of Holy Light injected into the body, it is really incredible that we can reach this point."

High Priest Reed stared at Roy with some excitement and suggested to him:

"You can try the Holy Grail of Wisdom and place it beside your bed when you sleep."

After saying that, High Priest Reed took out the golden Holy Grail of Wisdom from his magic belt bag and placed it on the round table.

The Holy Grail of Wisdom emits gentle holy light, like a dimly lit lamp.

Roy stared at the Holy Grail of Wisdom. He didn't want to take this trouble home, so he said:

"How can I sleep with such a Holy Grail placed beside my bed?"

High Priest Reed felt that what Roy said made sense, so he suggested again:

"Otherwise, you can take a bath in the holy pool, and maybe you will have a breakthrough right away..."

Roy thought about the square holy water pool in the side hall, and immediately shook his head and rejected High Priest Reed's proposal. The holy water there was for believers to drink...

High Priest Reed had no choice but to put the Holy Grail of Wisdom into his magic pocket.

Then Roy began to learn magic.

Roy didn't go home until evening, when he saw that it was getting late.

Before leaving the Temple of Liberty, High Priest Reed asked Roy to carry two buckets of holy water home...

…

Two large barrels of holy water were carried in Roy's hands...

At first, Roy felt very relaxed as he walked home along Brown Street, but when he reached the intersection, his arms felt a little sore.

He blessed himself with a ‘blessing of strength’ at the crossroads.

Then he easily carried the two buckets of holy water home and poured them into the bathroom tub.

Two heavy oak buckets were more like transformed from wine barrels. Roy placed them in the yard and planned to take a bath in holy water as suggested by High Priest Reed, or maybe sit in the bathtub and take a bath himself. , you can be directly promoted to a priest.

An elf girl appeared beside the wall and looked curiously at the large wooden barrel that Roy had left in the yard.

Sabrina walked up and patted her on the head.

Moira squinted her eyes and glanced at Sabrina...

The noise between the two of them immediately made Roy raise his head.

Seeing Moira lying next to the wall...

Moira asked Roy: "Do you want to practice martial arts and fighting?"

"Then come on."

Roy readily agreed.

As he was about to go to the Partington plane, Roy felt that every sparring session between him and Moira should be cherished.

The space on the terrace was too small and it was easy to break things, so Roy changed the training venue to the backyard.

Moira stood upright in the yard, holding an unedged dagger against her arm with a confident smile on her face...

Roy directly picked up the scepter and shield, and as soon as he walked into the grass, he signaled to Moira that it was time to start.

Moira transformed into two figures and rushed towards Roy...

She is like a traveler walking in the long river of time, and the hands of time always turn faster under her feet.

Roy was always a little slow in judging her, which allowed Moira to get the upper hand every time she attacked, and then attacks would come out one after another. The dagger in her hand would be able to attack from all angles. to attack.

Her fight is definitely not without any rules.

Every movement is an assassination skill of primary combat skills. It can only be said that the combination is very clever. It can not only seize the opportunity but also control the rhythm. The dagger in the hand is like a kind of magical power. ……everywhere.

Every time he fought against Moira, Roy would be very passive.

He is always in a situation where he is passively beaten. If there is no small buckler, he may not be able to last three rounds in front of Moira.

During the recent battle between the two, Roy could not use magic or activate the magic pattern array on the magic pattern structure.

Moira knows that Roy will not hurt her, so she will attack with all her strength without reservation during the battle, which makes her attack very fierce...

…

Roy raised his shield to block Moira's sword thrust. The dagger struck the hard shield and wiped out a spark...

Moira had a proud smile on her face, her long hair flying, and the dagger in her hand suddenly disappeared. The next second it appeared in her left hand, cutting Roy's wrist against the edge of the shield.

Just at this time……

Roy had a very magical feeling. He saw a large amount of holy light power spreading out from his body.

The soft holy light also turned his shield into silver, and the shield in his hand had the silver mark of the cross.

The dagger in Moira's hand clearly cut along the edge of the shield, but it couldn't cut in.

The full power of holy light wrapped around Roy's body and converged on the sacred sapling through Roy's body...

The dots of holy light all around were constantly rotating and converging on the sacred saplings.

He felt that the seedlings of the Tree of Holy Light in his body grew rapidly.

Originally a seedling in the lower abdomen, it had nine roots of different lengths.

But now, this sapling is growing rapidly in the constant infusion of holy light. Originally it only had a few small leaf pods, but now it has grown a trunk and some branches.

Dense leaves grew on the tree, and a well-developed root system grew below...

Such a tree of holy light is in Roy's body, completely integrated with Roy.

The tree crown filled with holy light is Roy's head, the solid trunk is his body, and the branches belong to his hands, and the tree roots firmly inserted into the soil are his feet...

Roy found that the two sisters Moira and Sabrina didn't seem to see these rich holy lights. They just saw Roy stop suddenly and stared at Roy in a panic.

This sacred tree was hidden in Roy's body, and the invisible barrier in his body seemed to be broken all of a sudden.

The sacred seedling turned into a tree of holy light. Roy felt a little uncomfortable with that kind of control of power.

Roy has been promoted to a priest at this time...

He raised his arms and felt the rich aura of holy light reverberating between his arms.

Moira and Sabrina looked at Roy who had stopped completely in the yard, and asked with some concern: "Roy, what's wrong with you?"

Roy stood there blankly, staring at his hands, and said somewhat unconfidently: "I...I may be promoted to a priest!"

Sabrina looked at Roy in surprise, not expecting him to advance without saying a word.

Moira stood aside and quickly said to Roy:

"Roy. Then come and give it a try and see if the priest will be different when he fights..."

Roy built the lost sacred scepter from the grass, and waved the shield on his arm. He felt that the scepter and shield instantly felt much more relaxed...

In an instant, Moira, who transformed into a line of light and shadow, rushed forward again.

This time... even if Moira turned into a phantom, Roy could clearly capture Moira's true body, and then waved the sacred scepter in his hand to block, Moira's dagger seemed to be sent to her automatically. On Roy's scepter.

Roy caught Moira's movements and successfully blocked Moira's sharp blow.

Moira missed a hit and jumped out immediately.

The battle between the two began again, and Roy dealt with it very easily this time. The two fought back and forth for a long time, and finally stopped at Sabrina's urging.

Later, Roy tried to use 'Blessing of Strength' and 'Blessing of Wisdom' in the yard.

Sure enough, after he became a priest, not only did his strength, agility, and physique increase, his mental power also improved even more.

'Blessing of Power' is easier to cast, and Roy can feel that 'Blessing of Power' seems to have become stronger...

I waved my arm and found that the small buckler on my arm had become light and fluffy, and it no longer seemed to fit me.
