Path of light

Chapter 128 129. Conflict

Everyone at the scene stood up and watched the principal criminals on the trial stage, led by the elf guards, filing out from the passage below.

The big shots from the arbitration committee left from the passage above.

But when he was leaving the stage, Roy suddenly found that he seemed to be secretly stared at. It felt like a cold poisonous snake emerged from behind, making him break out in cold sweat.

When he raised his head, the person staring at him withdrew his gaze earlier.

However, Roy relied on his intuition and felt that the man was wearing a black robe and standing among the arbitration committee members.

Roy wanted to take a few steps to catch up, but was blocked by the elves in front. There were only four passages to the outside of the trial, and Roy was at the very back. It was impossible to chase him out at this time.

"Roy, what are you looking at?"

Claire on the side saw Roy constantly looking up and asked curiously.

Roy pointed at one of the big figures from the arbitration committee wearing a black robe and asked Claire, "Who is that person?"

Just as the big man in black robe turned his head, half of his face was revealed, and Claire recognized it immediately:

"Priest Thorndike of the Temple of the Moon. What's wrong?"

Roy was startled. He didn't expect that the black-robed elf would be the priest of the Moon Temple.

"nothing……"

Roy shrank his head and responded.

Roy was sure that the cold, hostile gaze just now must have come from the eyes of the Moon Temple priest.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that in the Magala Jungle, the mixed-blood elf had told him that when Peleus died, someone saw a Moon Temple priest passing by the death scene.

It's just that... no one doubted that the priest of the Moon Temple would kill a mixed-blood elf.

Roy felt that this matter was getting more and more troublesome.

But then again, the sailors who killed Jefferson were all captured, and the entire crew of the ship was sentenced to severe punishment. I wonder how Moira would feel when she heard the news.

Unfortunately, there is another magician named Benjamin who slipped through the net. The ship Kumquat is currently anchored outside Castletown Harbor.

Roy felt that the magician Benjamin would be unable to move around in the elf world after losing his ship, so there was a high chance that he would still be active around Castletown.

On the way out of the trial, some Silver Moon elves turned their attention to Roy, and everyone showed kind eyes.

…

Roy walked out of the hall of the Silver Moon Elf Council of Elders and looked back at the huge Tree of Life. He couldn't believe that the life sap produced by such a Tree of Life would benefit the entire city. Silver Moon Elf.

Near the Heroes' Square in the upper town of Castletown, there are shops selling some magic items.

Because only the huge profits from magic items can allow shopkeepers to pay the high rents of these shops.

Roy wanted to go to the leather shop to inquire about the cost of making basilisk heavy leather armor. The best leather shop was here, next to a magic tailor shop. Through the clean window, Roy saw that there was actually a hanging A whole row of magic robes.

I heard Jasper say that the magic tailor shop here can also make priest robes.

This type of priest robe can increase the casting speed of divine spells, and you can also choose to use it as a mana throttling or mana torrent...

As expected, there were some elves in the shop choosing magic robes.

Roy was going to customize a set of leather armor for himself, so he had to choose a leather shop. On the signboard of the leather shop in front of him was a beautiful piece of crystal lion fur. It seemed that the craftsmen of this leather shop were good at making this kind of light leather. First.

The Silver Moon elves do like to wear all kinds of light leather armor. If it is heavy armor, they will choose metal mithril. Therefore, thick leather armor like the one Roy chose cannot be accepted by ordinary small leather shops. What's more, the leather he prepared was high-grade leather from petrified lizards.

Roy opened the curtain at the door and walked in, only to find that the smell inside the leather shop was a bit unpleasant.

"Welcome, this is Samp Leather Shop, how can I help you?"

An elf at the door who was beating leather with a wooden stick to dry it turned around and greeted Roy politely.

"Well, I want to customize a set of thick leather armor made of basilisk, and bring it with me..."

Before Roy could finish speaking, the Silver Moon Elf interrupted Roy and said:

"Sorry, we only accept the business of customizing light leather armor. If you want to customize heavy leather armor, we can't serve you!"

Roy didn't expect that the leather shop would refuse to take an order for thick leather armor.

Roy had no choice but to try to find a second leather shop in Heroes' Square. Unfortunately, he walked around the square and failed to find a second leather shop.

During this period, Roy also walked into a shop that only sold magic belts. He asked about the price of the most common magic belt, which also required ten magic crystals.

Roy now has more than a thousand Koler in his hand. Unless he sells the basilisk skin in his hand, he will not have enough money to buy a magic waist bag.

Seeing that magic belt bag with the simplest pattern, Roy could only wait a while longer before he could afford it.

The salary at the Temple of Liberty allows Roy to save three magic crystals every month, which means that Roy needs to be frugal for at least three months before he can afford a magic pocket bag.

During this period, Roy experienced some training in the Magala Jungle, which obviously made him realize deeply:

How important it is to have a magic fanny pack when you go out!

…

After leaving the fanny pack store with some disappointment, Roy realized that it was past noon before he knew it.

Roy did not take a long carriage, but walked directly along a bustling street to the lower city.

The lower town of Castletown is always much more lively than the upper town. The mixed-blood elves living here have a variety of food, and the street stalls sell a wide variety of goods.

Roy stopped at a breadfruit stall to pick out a breadfruit to take home.

Just as he was squatting in front of the stall, Roy felt a carriage behind him stop on the street almost simultaneously. His heart moved slightly, and he immediately put down the breadfruit in his hand and walked quickly forward.

Sure enough, the carriage behind quickly followed.

When Roy noticed someone following him, he immediately turned around and ducked into a narrow alley on the side of the street, where he had gotten rid of Steve's group of elves.

Small alleys like Xiacheng District are so narrow that it is almost impossible for a carriage to drive in.

Moreover, there were often debris piled up on both sides of the street. Roy walked briskly into the alley and felt a little complacent when he saw a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley.

I thought I could get rid of the pursuers in the carriage so easily. Unexpectedly, the door of the carriage parked at the entrance of the alley was pushed open. An elf wearing the robe of a moon priest stepped out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the alley. Chasing from inside.

Roy looked back and saw that it was the Thorndike priest he had seen in the trial.

When Roy was about to get out of the alley, he found two Moon Temple priests standing on the street next door. Judging from the way they were looking around, they must be looking for someone.

Roy quickly approached the wall, avoiding the patrolling eyes of the two Moon Temple priests at the intersection.

Thinking that once he was blocked in the alley, he would not even have a chance to resist.

I can only bite the bullet and walk out of the alley quickly...

After the two Moon Temple priests discovered Roy's whereabouts, they immediately chased him.

"He's there! Catch him!" one of the Moon Temple priests shouted while chasing him.

The mixed-blood elves on the street all looked at the two Moon Temple priests who were causing chaos in the market.

Roy didn't run, just walked quickly along the long street.

The priest of the Moon Temple quickly caught up with Roy. The two young priests rushed up from both sides, one on the left and the other on the right, trying to subdue Roy on the spot.

When Roy struggled, he was pushed hard by the priest of the Moon Temple.

He fell to the ground in a panic, and even the sleeves of his clothes were torn on the stone floor.

A group of mixed-blood elves gathered to watch.

Roy was stuck in the crowd and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd. Taking advantage of the chaos to run away, he heard the young priest of the Moon Temple shout:

"Catch him...he is a heretic who is trying to disturb the peace of the elven world. We want to bring him back to the Moon Temple."

The mixed elves looked at Roy in surprise...

Among the crowd, a believer from the Temple of Liberty shouted:

"He is a trainee priest in the Temple of Liberty. He is not a heretic. You must be mistaken. He is a trainee priest!"

"Yes, I know him too. He is the trainee priest who distributed holy water to us!"

"Yes, yes! I also said why it looks so familiar..."

At this time, the market was already in chaos, and amid the noise and shouting, the Thorndike priest chased him out of the alley behind.

"The priest is here..."

The two young priests seemed to have found their backbone and immediately looked at Priest Thorndike at a loss.

Priest Thorndike came over with a gloomy face and asked the two young priests:

"what happened?"

The two young priests immediately pretended to report to Priest Thorndike: "Sir, we have caught a heretic..."

The mixed-blood elves watching around shouted: "I told you that he is not a heretic, he is a trainee priest of the Temple of Liberty."

The two young priests immediately looked at Priest Thorndike.

In fact, this arrest was spearheaded by Priest Thorndike.

But these three Moon Temple priests ignored one thing, that is, almost all the people living in the lower city were mixed-blood elves, and a considerable number of these mixed-blood elves were once believers in the Temple of Liberty.

The Temple of the Moon has never accepted believers of mixed elves, so these three priests have no supporters at all in the lower city.

For a while, the two young priests were unable to take Roy away.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment, and the elves suddenly separated, and two elves walked in from the outside to guard.

"The patrolling adults are here..." There were also mixed-blood elves shouting loudly.

The two elf guards couldn't help but feel a little dizzy when they saw this scene in front of them:

The priests of the Temple of the Moon surrounded the priests of the Temple of Liberty in the street... They caught up with such nonsense.

The elf guards looked at Roy and recognized him at a glance as the trainee priest next to High Priest Reed.

The elven guards of the guard team could only come up to them and said with smiles on their faces:

"Priest Thorndike, you must have mistaken the person. He is the trainee priest Roy of the Temple of Liberty. If you want to take Roy away, you need to negotiate with Priest Reed of the Temple of Liberty."

Roy broke away from the hands of the two Moon Temple priests, stared at Priest Thorndike, and said to him in a neither humble nor condescending manner:

"I will tell High Priest Reed the complete story of the unfair treatment I received today."

Priest Thorndike stood among the elves, looking at Roy with a calm face, and let him leave without saying a word...
