Path of light

Chapter 146 147. Contradiction

A lot of times, that's it...

The more things you worry about, the more they will appear. Roy is most worried about Benjamin, the magician who escaped from the Kumquat, sneaking back to Castletown.

A magician lurking in the dark is still very dangerous.

Unfortunately, Roy ran out of the magic shop and could no longer see the magician Benjamin.

Claire chased him from behind and asked, "Roy, who did you see?"

"The only magician among those slave traders."

Roy looked away, sighed, and said to Claire.

"He actually dares to return to Castletown?"

Claire was startled.

You know, if the magician Benjamin wants to carry out revenge, then Claire and Roy will be the first targets.

After all, it was the two of them who first discovered this group of slave traders, and then Roy issued a warning, attracting the elf warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion, which directly led to the destruction of the entire Kumquat army.

Benjamin the Magician appears in Castletown…

Obviously, they came here to take revenge on Roy, Claire, and the students of Elf Academy.

It was a pity that he could not find out the whereabouts of Magician Benjamin, and Roy sighed secretly.

Claire couldn't buy the sacred rack, and she was inevitably a little disappointed.

He had two classes to attend in the afternoon, so he ended the purchase early...

…

Worried about the retaliation of Magician Benjamin, Roy also went to the guard team on the east side of the Elf Academy at noon and told the Elf Patrolmen on the guard team about the appearance of Magician Benjamin in the backstreet of the academy.

Last week, the trial court had just sentenced the group of slave traders on the Kumquat, and this week, a fish slipped through the net and sneaked into Castletown.

The elf patrols of the guard team took this information very seriously and immediately organized five patrol teams to patrol near the elf academy and the magic district.

In fact, Benjamin Magician is easy to identify.

In Upper Castletown, there are almost no humans in sight.

Occasionally a human face appears on the street, and it's easy to track his whereabouts.

Roy later returned to the Temple of Liberty.

Now that everything is on track in the Temple of Liberty, the Holy Grail of Wisdom has returned to the hands of High Priest Reed...

The only regret is that Priest Andyson is no longer here, and Priest Theodore has to go to prison to serve his sentence. Now the Temple of Liberty is only supported by Priest Reed.

Roy, Jasper, and Abbott could only serve as assistants, helping High Priest Reed do a little bit.

When passing the entrance of the temple courtyard, Roy saw Abbot holding a picture album in the gatehouse, carefully searching for the hand-drawn maps in the album.

Roy found that Abbot lived in the concierge. The small square table in the concierge was covered with various atlases.

"Hi Abt, good afternoon."

When Roy passed the courtyard gate, he took the initiative to say hello to Abt.

Abt raised his head and glanced outside.

Finding that only Roy was standing outside, he poked his head out of the concierge, frowned and said dullly:

"Roy, you're back!"

Seeing that Abbot was in a bad mood, Roy put his hands on the concierge window and asked curiously:

"Abut...what's wrong with you?"

"Forget it, it's nothing!" Abt actually wanted to spit it out, but he immediately shut up when he thought that Roy and Jasper had a better relationship.

Roy guessed that Abbot might want to ask him to take over, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he took the initiative to come over and asked in a low voice:

"Do you need me to cover the half-day shift for you?"

Abt quickly waved his hand and said: "No need. The library I just went to yesterday has not been needed in the past few days. And I am sitting here, which is actually quite good."

After finishing speaking, Abt pointed to the messy albums on the table.

"Oh..." Roy agreed, and then said:

"We can't be impatient when it comes to finding treasures. We have plenty of time before I learn how to sail..."

After speaking, Roy patted Abbott on the shoulder and then walked back to the backyard.

…

It wasn't until Roy saw Jasper sitting alone next to the well with a dull look on his face that he came over and asked:

"Jasper, do you want some help?"

"No need!" Jasper blurted out subconsciously, raised his head to look at Roy, and said to him: "Roy..."

Calling out Roy's name, Jasper stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Roy was a little strange...

Both Jasper and Abt were a little out of sorts today.

Roy simply sat next to the well...

Jasper said somewhat depressedly:

"Abut asked me to borrow half of the treasure map this morning, but I refused. We had a bit of a quarrel."

"I just came from the vestibule. No wonder Abt is not in a good mood." Roy suddenly realized...it turned out that the two of them had a conflict.

Roy knew that Jasper had always been opposed to Abbot putting all his energy into the treasure map.

From Jasper's point of view, this treasure map is more like a topic that the three of them can talk about casually when they are bored.

But Abt believes that the pirate treasure is more important. If he can get this pirate treasure, then many of his dreams will come true.

So Abbot kept looking at various nautical charts.

Roy said to Jasper: "Actually, let me tell you, the sea area on that treasure map is very small, and it does not belong to any archipelago near the Elf Continent, so it is not easy to find out where the treasure map is. !”

"You can give him the half of the treasure map in your hand. It won't take long before he loses interest!"

Roy suggested.

Jasper shook his head in refusal without hesitation and said:

"He's a little obsessed. I have to wake him up and stop thinking so much..."

The two of them each held their own opinions, and seemed to be in conflict for a while...it seemed that there was no way to resolve it.

Jasper put the bucket aside and followed Roy to the study room to learn magic.

Only Abbot, who was staying in the concierge, read the geography-related books tirelessly.

…

The two of them were sitting in the study room. Roy continued to learn the purification technique. In fact, he wanted to ask High Priest Reed if he could learn the 'Hammer of Judgment' now...

After all, when the magician Benjamin appears in Castletown, Roy still needs to do some precautions.

Jasper saw Roy starting to recite the prayer, put down the book in his hand, sat across from the round table, and said to Roy:

"Roy, I heard that the mixed elves talked about Priest Thorndike. He was most likely the one who killed Peleus that day, but there is no evidence now."

Roy asked with some confusion: "Didn't Priest Theodore finish the trial? Why are you still talking about this..."
