Path of light

Chapter 72 73. History Lesson

Yesterday, Roy asked Sabrina about Jefferson's friends in Castletown. Unexpectedly, he met one in the morning.

Roy was in no hurry to contact the Dark Moon Elf. Since this guy was here, there was no reason to reveal his identity to him right away.

A long carriage drove from a distance, and the elves waiting at the street entrance boarded the carriage one after another. Roy took the carriage to the Elf Academy.

Roy walked into the lecture theater holding the history book. Several members of the 16th group who came to the classroom first and took their seats waved to Roy. The first few members who came to the lecture theater were all Silver Moon elves. The girl is young and beautiful, with aristocratic reserve and a sweet smile.

Probably because he was worried that Roy wouldn't be able to remember their names.

When Roy walked over, several Silver Moon Elf girls stood up and announced their names one by one:

"Marytis."

"Matilda."

"Lowling..."

Roy quickly stood in the aisle and greeted these Silver Moon elves politely: "My name is Roy."

The silver-haired elf named Matilda smiled and joked:

"Your name has been called twice in class by Teacher Ophelia. I guess there is no elf in this classroom who doesn't recognize you."

Among these elf girls, she looked dignified and generous. She looked directly at Roy, as if she was extremely curious about him:

"Roy, how are you preparing for the homework assigned by Teacher Ophelia?"

Roy said: "I found two books about the naval battle of the Queen's Islands. They both described the naval battle from the perspective of the elf warriors. One of them tells the story of the Sixth Legion of the Silver Moon Kingdom stationed on the main island of Queen Egwene. Years and six months of experience..."

When talking about historical events, everyone is no longer as embarrassed as they were just now.

This group of elf girls were not interested in the details of the war in the Queens Islands, nor did they know much about it. Instead, they made a detailed investigation of the culture, politics, and historical background of the time, and took some notes.

Immediately afterwards, other members of the team came over one after another to say hello to each other. Everyone briefly communicated and assigned some tasks to each other. The task given to Roy was very simple, which was to introduce the attack on the main island of the Queen's Islands.

As the class bell rings...

Princess Olphia, wearing a plain dress, walked in from the door holding a book, her long silver hair draped behind her like a waterfall, with a golden hairpin in her ear, which immediately silenced the entire classroom.

With a faint smile on her bright face, she looked around the lecture theater before saying:

"Everyone, how are you preparing? I don't want... after the group I picked comes to the stage, all the members can't say a word..."

Princess Ophelia's voice was soft, as clear as the spring water flowing in the mountain stream, and it made Roy feel like it was tinkling.

"I made 40 cards. Whichever historical event was drawn, the corresponding research team would come up and tell everyone about it."

Princess Ophelia probably also thought this was very interesting. With a faint smile on her lips, she unfolded a stack of cards in her hand, then took out one card from it, turned it over and looked at the historical events. Then he said: "In this class, we will discuss the 'new covenant signed between the Silver Moon Kingdom and the Green Empire in 1362'."

The members of the 16th group sitting in a row listened nervously to Princess Ophelia's announcement of the winning topic. When they heard the year, everyone including Roy breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they came first. The class is not them.

There was silence in the lecture theater. The ten elf students sitting in the third row stood up from their seats one after another. They were wearing decent robes, and each of them held a roll of parchment in their arms. They were a little nervous, but also a little excited. Everyone did not forget to encourage each other, and then lined up to walk to the podium.

Princess Ophelia gave up the podium and stood alone by the window, quietly listening to the students' stories...

These elf students were well prepared, and each of them told a story about the situation at that time.

For Princess Ophelia, the covenant signed between the Silver Moon Elf King and Prince James of the Green Empire in the Royal Capital of Buenos forty-three years ago was something she had personally experienced from beginning to end. But the whole city of Buenos felt like it was celebrating a festival.

Princess Jonah Ophelia watched with her own eyes as her sister Princess Manda Ophelia took the arm of Prince James and boarded the gorgeous carriage. Their motorcade headed east to Castletown Port and returned to Roland with the fleet. In the Green Empire on the mainland, the last time I received a letter from my sister was thirteen years ago. The letter said that my sister Manda had given birth to two lovely little princesses...

She arrived at Castletown Harbor, where Manda and James had stayed, and never left.

Princess Ophelia woke up from that past incident and found that the elf students on the podium had reached the end of their lecture.

After waiting for all the elf students to finish speaking, half the class had passed. Princess Ophelia slowly walked onto the podium, nodded to the ten students, indicating that they could return to their seats, and then said with a smile:

"Not bad, this part..."

The bright sunshine shines through the window on Princess Ophelia's bright and beautiful face.

Since the ten students had already introduced it before, everyone already had an understanding of that period of history. When Princess Ophelia introduced it again, all the students immediately felt a sense of déjà vu, as if they were back again. During that era of frequent naval battles with the Naga Sea Tribe of the Endless Sea...

Although she has only taken one class so far, Princess Ophelia knows that this class is very successful, and this kind of narration makes the boring history class full of interest, and at least makes these students become active.

…

After learning magical techniques in the temple for an afternoon, Roy found that he had mastered the 'secondary healing technique' divine pattern, but he was still a little unskilled for the time being...

Roy did not go to repair the Black Pearl with Jasper and Abbott today.

Jasper hired a carpenter on Brown Street to build a new ladder for the ship. The ladder he and Abbot had made was falling apart after just a few uses.

In addition, he also planned to simply repair the broken windows and doors of the ship building first.

It was impossible to invite carpenters to the ship, so the doors and windows could only be dismantled, hung down with ropes, and prepared to be taken to the carpenter's workshop for repair.

Roy had to prepare for the battle in the arena, so he walked home after coming out of the temple.

The irises on the street were in bloom, like a blue ribbon. As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I saw the dark moon elf standing by the wall across the street.

Roy stopped and turned to look at the elf ranger.

The Dark Moon Elf slowly walked over, stood in front of Roy, stared at his face for a while, and then asked:

"Are you Roy?"

Roy nodded and stood at the door without inviting him to sit in the yard.

"Well, what do you want to know?"

The Dark Moon Elf's eyes narrowed slightly. At that moment, he looked like a night saber preparing to prey, with sharp eyes...

But then it softened, like a silent warning to Roy.

"Jefferson, I want to know how he died!"

Roy turned to look at the street. At this time, the elf guards had probably gone home.

"Didn't you go to the tavern to investigate this morning? They should have told you what happened in the tavern." Roy said.

The Dark Moon Elf leaned against the wall and asked Roy: "I want to know about the human sailors who killed him..."

"Tell me what benefits you can give me. You can't let me give you this information in vain!" Roy asked without fear.

The Dark Moon Elf didn't expect that the threat just now would have no effect on the human in front of him. He leaned his body over and almost pressed against Roy's ear and whispered: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Roy took a step back, his back just against the courtyard door, but he stared into the dark moon elf's black eyes and said without giving in:

"A dark moon elf with an unknown identity, dressed as a ranger, came to Brown Street to unabashedly investigate the cause of Jefferson's death. Do you think no one will notice you?"

"...Besides, you just want to get some news from me about that group of sailors. Why should I be afraid of you?"

The Dark Moon Elf hesitated for a moment, touched the money bag under his belt, and said in a deep voice, "I can give you twenty kolers."

His voice was a little cold.

Fortunately, his hand was not on the dagger.

Roy was not so nervous. He spoke quickly in a low voice: "Don't think that I don't know the price of selling information in the tavern. The price is... fifty kolers, and I can also give you an additional piece of information. "

The Dark Moon Elf obviously didn't want to stand here anymore. He lowered his head and took out a bunch of Kohl's from his pocket and stuffed it into Roy's hand. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You'd better say something that makes me sound useful."

Roy just bargained with the price casually, but he didn't expect that the Dark Moon Elf didn't even bargain...

So he stood at the entrance of the courtyard and said to the Dark Moon Elf: "I am just a guide, and I am not familiar with those sailors. I remember that...then they had a quarrel in the tavern. You probably know what happened next. What are you looking for?" Sailor...to avenge Jefferson?"

The Dark Moon Elf ignored Roy, turned around and walked towards the street.

Roy quickly chased after him and continued: "I heard that Jefferson investigated the Temple of Liberty a few days before his death..."

The Dark Moon Elf still didn't look back and didn't want to talk to Roy anymore.

Roy continued to chase after him and said:

"If you want to avenge Jefferson, I can provide the portraits of those sailors. I remember their appearance!"

The Dark Moon Elf did not stop, but said impatiently:

"Shut up, if necessary...I will come to you again!"

Roy stood at the door of his home, watching the Dark Moon Elf walk away.

This Dark Moon Elf was not familiar with Jefferson at all, and he seemed to be very young.

Apart from being a bit grumpy, he's pretty well-behaved.

A complete rookie...
