Path of light

Chapter 137 138. Practice

It was another early morning, the sun was shining brightly, and there were several flying fish boats floating on the blue sea. Two large ships sailed into the Castletown port one after the other.

Roy always met Sabrina in the morning these days, and the two took a long carriage to the Elf Academy together.

The long carriage stopped in front of the huge rock arch carved in front of the Cliff Avenue. At this time, dozens of carriages were already parked here, and many people were standing outside the carriages, looking towards the Cliff Avenue.

There were many Silver Moon elves standing on the cliff avenue, almost all of them lined up on both sides of the avenue with flowers in their hands.

Almost all the elves were looking at a carriage that was slowly driving away in the distance. The carriage was covered with flowers, and a sarcophagus was placed among the flowers. Many Silver Moon elves were surrounding it. The carriage moved forward on foot, accompanied by Thorndike Priest from the Temple of the Moon.

Of course, Roy's long carriage couldn't see the scene on Cliff Avenue.

Only some Silver Moon elves could be seen holding flowers and standing on the edge of the cliff avenue.

"Did you hear that? Claire Latin is dead."

There were elves in the long carriage talking quietly.

The elf who had not heard the news immediately asked in surprise:

"When did this happen?"

The elf who spoke before responded:

"The funeral was held just the night before yesterday and this morning."

Then he said:

"I heard that many elves are preparing to mourn Master Claire Latin at the entrance of the art museum this morning. I didn't expect that Cliff Avenue would be so congested. Should we go and see the excitement?"

"Forget it. If you dare to skip class, you won't be able to pass this class."

The companion hesitated for a moment and then refused.

…

Roy looked through the car window at the cliff above his head. He didn't expect that this master of art had such a great reputation in Castleton...

He had only heard Ms. Belinda mention his name before, but Roy had never thought how great this master carver was.

For a while, Roy even considered him Ms. Belinda's boss.

As the assistant of Master Claire Latin, Ms. Belinda's job is not easy.

Roy also often complained to Ms. Belinda, saying that she often worked overtime in this job and didn’t even get overtime compensation...

After hearing this, Ms. Belinda just smiled lightly.

…

Sabrina was sitting next to the car window, holding two textbooks in her arms. She curiously looked out the window at the cliffs and looked at the elves holding flowers.

Roy sat quietly aside. Priest Theodore has not returned to the Temple of Liberty, nor has he appeared elsewhere.

"Are there still meetings at the temple today?"

Sabrina looked away and asked softly to Roy who was a little distracted beside her.

"Yeah." Roy replied dully.

"Or should you distribute the holy water?"

Sabrina asked again.

"Um."

Sabrina turned to look at Roy in confusion and found that he was looking at her white arms in a daze.

Next to her arm was a round ball wrapped in a dress. Sabrina rolled her eyes at Roy speechlessly, not wanting to talk to him anymore...

After waiting for a while, even the street behind was crowded with carriages, and the front started to pass.

The long carriage stopped at the entrance of the Elf Academy.

Sabrina gently pulled the hem of her skirt and walked out of the carriage with her textbook in her arms.

Roy followed her, just jumped out of the car, said goodbye to Sabrina, and then walked into the gate of Elf Academy alone.

Claire ran over from the other side of the corridor and said to Roy with joy:

"Roy, you don't know how popular I was yesterday. When I finished playing the song and walked out of the No. 3 teaching building, the corridor was crowded with elves on both sides, and everyone was applauding me..."

Of course Roy knew, he was also squeezed into the crowd at that time, but he left without listening to the end.

"I heard it too. It's indeed a very good song."

Roy walked along the corridor leading to the training ground and walked into the academy.

"Of course, and you also have half of the credit for this..."

Claire caught up with Roy and told him excitedly.

"What does it have to do with me?" Roy immediately clarified.

He didn't want this to get out.

Because there are not many songs that he can hum.

"It's obviously you..."

Claire didn't understand why Roy insisted on disowning the song.

Roy quickly interrupted him and said:

"Stop it, I'm just reciting the sounds of nature, but your song has nothing to do with me, and I don't understand music."

Claire stopped where she was, still wanting to chase Roy and have a good argument with him.

He saw several Silver Moon Elf girls walking up to him in a very ladylike manner with sweet smiles on their faces on the corridor nearby:

"Hello, Claire, I'm Aibis. I've heard the song you composed. Can you tell me what the song is called?"

"The Blue Dane..."

Before Claire could move forward, another group of Silver Moon elves surrounded her.

"Hi, Claire, I heard that the music you wrote is great. Would you like to come to our Red Hibiscus Music Club?"

The Silver Moon elves passing by were also whispering:

"Look, that's this year's freshman Wagner Claire. Not only is he a great fighter, he also writes very nice music."

There was even a very bright-looking Silver Moon Elf girl who stood generously in front of Claire and boldly asked:

"Hi Claire, are you free this weekend?"

The sweat on Claire's forehead suddenly started to flow down. He looked at Roy who was walking further and further in front of him. He quickly reached out his hand and shouted loudly:

"Roy, wait for me."

With that said, he rushed out from the surrounding of the elves.

Only a group of Silver Moon elves were left who didn't know what to do.

…

Afternoon, Temple of Liberty.

Roy stood in the side hall wearing a trainee priest robe. In front of him was a silver plate containing some holy water rich in holy light.

In the pool behind him, there is a pool full of holy water. These holy water were obtained after he poured Holy Light into the pool twice last night and this morning...

Looking at the light golden light on the water, the faces of the believers waiting in line showed expectant smiles.

Roy first needs to use the holy water in the basin to perform a soul purification ceremony for each believer, and then scoops out a cup of holy water from behind and distributes it to the believers in front.

After the choir's work was over, Sabrina mingled with the team, waiting for Roy to distribute the holy water.

Roy needed to chant sacred prayers constantly at this time, but the sacred prayers he was familiar with only had a few sentences, and he could only mutter them back and forth repeatedly.

He deliberately spoke unclearly. Anyway, it was enough to let everyone know that he was reciting a prayer. As for what he said, there was no need for everyone to hear clearly.

Sabrina was always among the last few in line. When he saw her, Roy knew that today's baptism was about to end.

Sabrina knelt down in front of Roy. Roy dipped his fingers into some holy water and wiped it on her fair forehead.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Roy, just in time to see Roy's eyes falling into her slightly open neckline. The choir robe Sabrina changed into was a little loose, and the neckline was also a large oval. It's actually quite empty inside...

She felt her cheeks feel hot.

Roy was a bit thick-skinned and looked away calmly, but when he scooped up the holy water, his hands were shaking a little and he almost poured the holy water out of the cup...

Sabrina wanted to throw a glass of holy water in Roy's face.

…

In the evening, before Moira and Roy could start sparring, Sabrina came to Roy's terrace carrying a heavy wooden sword and wearing a tank top and shorts.

Roy stood up a little guilty and said to Moira: "Otherwise, I think we will..."

"I'll practice with you!"

Sabrina almost didn't give Roy any chance to refuse. She picked up the wooden sword with one hand and put the blade of the wooden sword on Roy's shoulder.

Roy had no choice but to use his wooden stick to block Sabrina's heavy wooden sword.

Sabrina took the opportunity to hold the sword with both hands, and the tip of the heavy wooden sword drew a circle in mid-air. The blade changed an angle and struck Roy silently.

Roy found that his retreat was blocked by Sabrina. He could only grit his teeth and use the wooden stick and log shield in his hand to parry Sabrina's sword.

The heavy wooden sword was light in her hand, but when it hit Roy's wooden stick, it was immediately knocked open.

Roy's hand holding the wooden sword immediately became numb...

Sabrina was obviously dressed very coolly, and her hands made waves when she held the sword. Her thighs were dazzlingly white under the lights on the terrace, but at this moment, Roy couldn't be distracted at all.

His eyes were fixed on Sabrina's heavy wooden sword...

Sabrina's attack was very simple, she just stepped forward and slashed, and the heavy wooden sword just slashed down, forcing Roy to raise his shield to parry.

She held the heavy wooden sword with both hands and slammed it on the wooden shield, causing Roy to take two steps back uncontrollably.

The power coming from the heavy wooden sword made his arm numb.

After a practice, Roy felt like his arm was about to dislocate.

…Sabrina didn’t stop until she finally couldn’t resist anymore.

Even Sabrina was sweating profusely at this time. She didn't expect that Roy could resist so many cleaves in one go.

As long as Roy resisted a few more times, Sabrina didn't know how many more blows she could make.

The round wooden shield was almost full of dents, and not only did the surrounding iron hoops come off completely, but even the fist-sized iron sheet in the center of the round wooden shield was completely broken off.

The heavy wooden sword in Sabrina's hand was even more scarred, with a large area of ​​damage on the middle blade.

Moira also saw that Sabrina just wanted to teach Roy a lesson.

After the practice, Sabrina climbed over the wall and went home with her heavy wooden sword. At this time, Moira, who was hiding aside, came up and asked Roy secretly:

"Roy, how did you mess with Sabrina again?"

Roy was hesitant. He couldn't say that he was discovered by Sabrina when he was looking at the Mariana Trench.
