Path of light

Chapter 297 298. Farewell

Abut died on the Black Pearl ship, and Roy silently put Abut into a box.

After covering the box again, Roy sat on the bow of the boat, thinking about the first time he saw Jasper and Abbott, without feeling any joy in his heart.

The distant bells of the Statue of Liberty sounded melodiously, and this may be the farthest distance covered by the bells.

Roy sat on the bow of the ship and opened the charts compiled by Abbot. There were nearly three hundred parchment charts stacked together almost one meter high.

The handwriting on some charts is messy and messy, while the handwriting on some charts is neat. You can see the effort that Abbot put into these charts. Almost every chart has detailed notes, and there are also circles drawn with charcoal. Click.

These charts cover the entire Endless Sea.

Roy accidentally turned over a piece of papyrus, which actually drew a route that ran through the entire Endless Sea, and there were notes on each archipelago it passed. It was clearly written on which port was suitable for replenishing what kind of supplies.

Roy looked down at the Black Pearl below him. The sea water had receded, revealing a beach full of rocks below.

There were three friends on the Black Pearl, but now he was the only one left. Thinking about it, he felt a little depressed...

Miss Tiffany didn't know where she swam to, but she suddenly disappeared.

Roy waited on the Black Pearl for a long time.

It wasn't until the afternoon that he called a carriage, ran to the coffin shop, and bought a coffin for two hundred kolers. He put Abut into the coffin, and the carriage carried the wooden coffin into the cemetery.

Roy bought a piece of land next to Jasper's grave, for which he paid the tombkeeper fifty kolers and buried Abbot in the cemetery.

Finally, he planted a cypress tree in front of Abt's tomb. The nameplate read:

'The Tomb of Abt, a fool who spent his life seeking the treasure of the dwarves. ’

Roy placed two bottles of orange wine in front of Jasper and Abbott's graves respectively. He stood in front of their graves for a long time and finally muttered:

"Don't do such stupid things again in your next life..."

After saying that, Roy turned around and walked out along the forest road of the cemetery. Roy was the only one from beginning to end.

The sun shines into the quiet woodland, leaving countless spots in the woodland. The wet sea breeze blows on the body, and there is an indescribable discomfort all over the body...

…

When I returned home on Brown Street, I didn't expect that a thin layer of dust fell on the tables, chairs and sofas in the house.

It seems that Ms. Belinda has basically not been back recently.

Sure enough, Roy found several letters sent by Ms. Belinda from Buenos in the mailbox in the yard.

Roy opened the latest letter.

Ms. Belinda said in the letter that she found a very good art gallery in Buenos, and her works were appreciated by the curator. The curator recommended her works to participate in the largest art fair in the elf world. This month she may Go to the wood elf city of Darnassus.

There is joy and joy in every line of Ms. Belinda's words.

Looking at the empty room, Roy touched his forehead helplessly.

At this time, he really wanted to find someone to chat with, just about anything.

Roy carried the bucket and planned to carry some buckets of water to take a good bath.

After walking out of the house, Moira stood by the wall, looking expectantly towards the door of the house across the courtyard wall.

Roy suddenly discovered that Moira, who was originally standing on a small stool and standing on tiptoes to reveal her little head from the wall, was now taller than the courtyard wall, and her arms could easily be placed flat on the wall. On the wall, a pair of big blue eyes were full of agility.

Seeing Roy walking out of the house, Moira smiled sweetly on her face and greeted Roy in a low voice:

"Roy, you're back!"

Roy walked over with a bucket: "Moira, how are you doing recently?"

"It's okay. Tiffany and I have been helping you take care of the green plants you keep on the boat." Moira said softly.

"Thank you very much. By the way, I'll give you this."

After saying that, Roy took out the stabbing saber and handed it to Moira.

"I think this is suitable for you."

Moira took the stabbing saber and asked in a low voice: "Did you and Sabrina have an agreement?"

"What was discussed?" Roy asked doubtfully.

Moira looked back carefully to make sure Sabrina was not behind her, and then said: "She gave me a very precious set of leather armor in the morning, and then in the afternoon you gave me a dagger. , this is enough to fit together.”

"We really didn't discuss it. This was a reward from Earl Swinburne to us. I just thought you could use it, so I brought it back to you." Roy laughed, turned around and walked out of the yard. He wanted to Go get water.

"In a few days, I will also go to the Elf Academy..." Moira said loudly behind Roy.

Roy turned his back to Moira, waved to her, and responded: "That's great, we can go together in the morning."

During the recent period, Moira may have been influenced by Miss Tiffany, and her personality has become much more cheerful.

But Miss Tiffany seemed to have turned into bubbles...

After Abt was killed by her, she disappeared.

The Black Pearl became empty again. Only Roy and Moira occasionally went to clean the Black Pearl and take care of the green plants on the roof of the ship...

Sabrina would occasionally come to help, and more often, Roy would see her squatting at the market, selling fish with Ms. Gillian.

…

Roy came to the Temple of Liberty and found that some weeds were growing in the gaps between the stone slabs in the yard, and the gatehouse was empty.

I don’t know how long it has been since a rally was held, and the vestibule pool was filled with rainwater.

The main door of the main hall was locked tightly. Roy walked around the tree wall and came to the backyard. High Priest Reed was actually packing his luggage in the study room. Several huge boxes were placed in the room. He was loading thick books one after another. Put it in a box.

The covers of many books are made of metal. Moving these books is obviously a laborious task...

Seeing Roy standing outside the door, High Priest Reed smiled in his eyes.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Roy: "I thought you wouldn't be able to come back before I left!"

"Has the recruitment order been issued?"

"Well, let me arrive at the Golfito headquarters before the end of July." There was a hint of reluctance in High Priest Reed's tone.

"What should we do here?" Roy asked again.

High Priest Reed looked around and said casually:

"This is the land provided by the Castletown Elf Elders Council. After I leave, this place will be returned to the Castletown Elf Elders Council. I heard from elsewhere that this place will be transformed into a mixed-blood elf asylum, specifically to accommodate those Homeless half-elf child.”

After speaking, he patted the books on the bookshelf again and said:

"I can't take all of these books with me. You can browse through them and find some you like and move them."

After saying that, he walked into the depths of the bookshelf, and there was an indescribable loneliness in his back.

Not long after, High Priest Reed walked out of the bookshelf, holding a thick stack of books in his arms. He placed the books on the round table, turned around and went inside to search again. He searched back and forth five times, filling the entire round table. He picked up the books and then stopped.

"This is the magic that I have mastered. Since you want to continue on the path of priest, take it away!" High Priest Reed said: "It's a pity that I haven't been able to access high-level magic. I pray, I have only heard of the great prophecy and resurrection rituals by name, and I have never even seen the bishop perform them."

He paused.

The library became extremely quiet, and High Priest Reed smiled reluctantly:

"...In the future, I'm afraid the temple will completely disappear from the Elf Continent. After you achieve a higher level than me and want to master more profound divine arts, you might as well go to the Roland Continent. Maybe there is something you need there. The magic of light."

Hearing High Priest Reed say that he was about to go to Golfito, Roy suddenly felt a little reluctant. Thinking of Jasper's original request, Roy couldn't help but say:

"teacher……"

As soon as a word came out of his mouth, he was interrupted by High Priest Reed:

"Give up this idea. The Dark Place is not a good place. Only believers like us who pursue our faith will enter that place like moths to a flame."

After speaking, High Priest Reed patted Roy's shoulder hard.

With Roy's help, High Priest Reed spent two days packing his luggage and making a list of the items in the temple. After closing the windows, he locked and sealed every door in the temple. .

The suitcases that High Priest Reed wanted to take away were all piled in the yard.

High Priest Reed sat on the steps at the entrance of the main hall and chatted with Roy for a long time.

He originally wanted to teach Roy the Holy Light Technique and the Blessing of Sanctuary, but unfortunately it was too late.

High Priest Reed took out the yellow-orange Holy Grail of Wisdom from his arms, and Roy could clearly feel the power of holy light emanating from the Holy Grail.

This is just an imitation of Karadar, the Holy Grail of Wisdom. It was slowly infiltrated by the Holy Glory that gave it a trace of the Holy Light.

High Priest Reed looked at the Holy Grail of Wisdom in his hand and explained to Roy:

"I can't keep this Holy Grail for you. The dark place has isolated the power of the Holy Light. Every Holy Grail of Wisdom is the source of holy power in the dark place. We need to rely on the power of the Holy Light of the Holy Grail to survive in the darkness. Let’s continue to fight for the land..."

…

Early in the morning at the end of June, High Priest Reed took a carriage and left the Temple of Liberty in Castletown alone with a cart full of luggage.

The large iron door of the temple was completely closed as a result, and Roy locked the iron door himself.

Then he dragged several boxes of books home on a flatbed truck and placed them in his room.

Lying in bed alone in a daze...

Ms. Belinda went to Darnassus and didn't know when she would be back.

High Priest Reed went to Golfito again, and he probably would never come back.

Roy's heart suddenly became empty, and he was not in the mood to do anything for a while...
