Path of light

Chapter 126 127.Judgment

Roy sent Sabrina away before returning to Ms. Belinda's room.

Ms. Belinda was lying on the bed with the quilt wrapped around her body and her long hair spread out on the bed.

Roy helped her untie the corset dress little by little and take off the outer skirt. She would feel much more comfortable when she lay on the bed wearing only her nightgown.

Seeing that Ms. Belinda showed no sign of waking up, Roy covered her with a thin quilt.

A large glass of honey water was prepared for her and placed on the bedside table, and the curtains were closed.

Then he walked gently down to the second floor.

After returning to the living room, Roy wrapped the lizard's claws in oil paper and prepared to find a reliable leather shop on the shopping street after the court hearing tomorrow.

He was going to customize a set of heavy leather armor and use lizard claws to make a pair of gloves.

Next time you have an outdoor practical class, you can wear leather armor, which should make it easier.

After digging out the magic crystal given to him by Count Amelia and looking at the Elf War Dance inside again, Roy had no clue and didn't know how to learn it.

…

It dawned very early. Roy got up from bed early and prepared some breakfast in the kitchen.

The door to Ms. Belinda's room was still tightly closed, as if she was still drunk.

After getting dressed, Roy ran out of the house.

He crossed the stone bridge over the River Darne and ran towards the seawall drainage channel.

When Roy jumped on the boulder again and came to the stone crevice next to the drainage channel, he found that there was no trace of any habitation here.

Even the stone bed built by Roy has been completely dismantled, and the banana leaves spread on the stone bed are also gone.

It seems that Dark Moon Elf Xavier has left.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave the rocky area. Before leaving, he discovered a simple line of elven writing clearly written in elvish on a large stone near the drainage channel:

'I am leaving'

The big stone was covered with moss.

The writing was written on the moss-covered stone, and some of the scratches were still very clear. It was obviously written by Xavier.

Roy jumped onto the sea wall and jogged along it to the intersection.

There were no pedestrians on the street yet, except for the night saber owned by Mrs. Windsor, the proprietress of the pharmacy, peeking out through the low shrub wall.

Roy waited for a long time before a long carriage stopped at the intersection.

I jumped into the carriage of the long carriage, paid the coachman 1 Koler, found an empty seat and sat down, and the scenery outside the window began to change.

In the morning, the market in the lower city was already very lively, but after the long carriage entered the upper city through the cliff, I found that the entire upper city was very quiet. The morning sunlight fell through the tree house on the forest glade, and there was a forest everywhere. Beautiful scenery with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Many Silver Moon elves do not have the habit of getting up early. They often open their bedroom windows and see the noon sun...

The long carriage drove all the way to the tree of life on the north side of Heroes Square, and Roy walked out of the long carriage. There were already many elves waiting here, including not only Silver Moon elves, but also some mixed-blood elves.

Roy saw some teachers from the Elf Academy, as well as some kidnapped Silver Moon Elf students in the academy, and there were some relatives and friends around them.

Everyone is waiting patiently in front of the steps under the tree of life...

The topics exchanged were also news about this trial.

Claire saw Roy coming out of the carriage, quickly walked out of the crowd, and waved to him vigorously.

Roy walked up to Claire, smiled at him and asked, "Claire, how are you preparing for your homework?"

"Everything is ready. Do you want to listen to "The Blue Danne"?" Claire said proudly, standing opposite Roy, wearing a gorgeous dress often worn by Silver Moon elves, even her hair was combed meticulously.

Roy said: "Of course you have to listen to it if you have the chance."

"What are your plans today?" Claire asked Roy.

Roy patted his satchel and replied, "I'm going to go to the leather shop and want to know how much it costs to customize a set of heavy leather armor."

Claire said with excitement: "Would you like to go to my house to listen to the song I played? You don't even know... I auditioned to play it twice at home, and everyone's reaction was so exaggerated. Some people actually heard that I played river water. the sound of."

Roy curled his lips and refused without hesitation: "I think it's better to forget it..."

Instructor Nora walked out from a group of elf teachers and came directly to Roy and Claire.

Instructor Nora made a great contribution to the capture of this group of slave traders who behaved badly this time. It is precisely because of Instructor Nora that the Elf Academy was able to save a little face.

At least it can calm some of the dissatisfaction of the Silver Moon elves in Castletown City.

When Roy and Claire saw Instructor Nora approaching, wearing a suit of leather armor, they immediately stood up straight and saluted Instructor Nora.

Both of them are students of Instructor Nora, and saluting is the most basic etiquette for Instructor Nora.

"You are here too. Fortunately, because of your keen insight, we made some discoveries in that manhunt. As expected, the group of slave traders fled along the secret road in the forest towards the hunting ground." Nora The instructor said without hesitation.

Roy and Claire looked at each other, and Claire understood what Roy was thinking, and quickly smiled and whispered:

"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the two of us. This is what you, Instructor Nora, thought of..."

…

A group of elf guards appeared on the steps of the Tree of Life...

The roots of the Tree of Life are almost like a small earthen bag. The elves built winding and exquisite steps along the roots of the Tree of Life, leading to the main trunk of the giant tree whose canopy covers an area of ​​one acre.

Like other treehouses, the Silver Moon elves built a wooden door on the trunk of the Tree of Life.

After the elf guards pushed open the door, which was dotted with carved flowers, plants and trees, the Silver Moon elves waiting at the bottom of the steps walked towards the door of the Tree of Life.

This is the seat of the Silver Moon Elf Council of Elders.

Walking into the Tree of Life, there is still an incredibly large space. The smooth reception hall is almost an empty semicircular space, with a passage composed of three steps connected behind it.

This is the first-floor hall of the Elf Council of Elders in Castletown City. In addition to a few elf guards at the door, there are three Silver Moon female elves standing behind the half-moon-shaped front desk in the reception hall. They take the initiative to lead a group of people to the far left Step passage.

It was Roy's first time here. He followed Claire obediently and soon entered a conference room filled with stepped seats.

This kind of ladder conference room is very different from the lecture hall. The lecture hall is just a fan-shaped building with a small angle, and this one looks like an inverted cone. After everyone sits down, their eyes focus on the interrogation table below, which will give people A very strong sense of oppression.

The decoration inside the judgment house is very simple, but the carvings everywhere are inseparable from the characteristics of the tree of life.

Roy and Claire found seats in the back row and sat down. Unexpectedly, the Silver Moon female elf receptionist asked Roy and Claire to sit in the witness box in front, which was almost the closest position to the trial stand.

To Roy and Claire's relief, instructor Nora was also sitting here.

After waiting for a group of Silver Moon elves to enter the trial center one after another, there was a buzzing noise from all around...

Roy and Claire were also talking quietly.

‘Dong dong dong’

There was a heavy knocking sound above the head, and the next moment, the voices in the trial chamber immediately fell silent.

An elderly Silver Moon Elf was wearing a gorgeous noble robe, sitting in a hanging basket woven from tree branches, supported by a vine hanging from the ceiling.

The wooden basket woven with branches looked like a desk covered with green leaves, and the old elf was sitting steadily on the chair.

A tree vine holds up the hanging basket, and it can move freely within the space of the trial, like an extra-long arm...

The old elf appeared above everyone's heads, and all the elves focused their attention on him.

He slowly floated in the center of the trial chamber and said to the Silver Moon elves around him: "Everyone, be quiet. The trial of the Kumquat slave traders begins now!"

His voice was old and full of majesty...

"Now I announce that all the slave traders on the Kumquat will be brought to the trial. Due to the large number of people, we can only try ten people at a time. Please be patient..."

…

Roy, who was sitting in the front row of the stairs, learned the details of the trial under Claire's soft introduction...

Silver Moon elves are rarely sentenced to death among their punishments. There is a high probability that the slave traders on the Kumquat will become prisoners in the elven prison after accepting this trial.

Of course, the prisoners in the Elf Prison will not be allowed to eat for free. Mining, digging tunnels and many other drudgery will become their daily work.

The ship, known as the Kumquat, has now been towed back to Castletown Port.

However, it did not dock at the port dock. Because the ship was intact, it would be sent to St. Margaret's Port in the Dark Moon Kingdom.

The one hundred and thirty-two crew members captured, including the captain, will be sent to St. Margaret's Port after trial, and then to a mine prison in the Dark Moon Elf.

This time the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion of the Silver Moon Elves captured the Golden Orange. Since there was no captain on board the ship, after more than 70 crew members were killed in the battle, the remaining crew members were forced to surrender. Of course, some of them jumped into the sea to escape. Crew members are not included in the statistics.

However, the chance of survival of these crew members was very slim, because the Silver Pegasus elf warriors searched the nearby waters for nearly ten days.

These Silver Pegasus elf warriors will not retrieve the living crew members from the sea...

Roy also didn't expect that there were so many crew members on that big sea ship. He was talking quietly to Claire when he saw a row of crew members with heavy shackles on their bodies filing into the trial platform below.
