Path of light

Chapter 269 270. Resurrection of the Black Pearl

The carriage moved slowly along the flat road, which was lined with green trees.

The carriage passed through the shade of these trees, leaving only the crisp sound of horse hooves in the forest.

Roy struggled for a moment, thinking that this matter was a bit dangerous, coughed slightly, and said to Sabrina:

"Sabrina, actually you can stay and participate in the college's outdoor practice class. Regarding Padstow City, it's enough for Woods and me to go there."

Sabrina was tasting a plate of fruit on the square table. The green agate-like grapes not only looked attractive, but also tasted very delicious.

"It's okay, just go together if you want to," Sabrina said.

Seeing that Sabrina decided to go, Roy stopped trying to persuade her...

Roy finally made it back to the Temple of Liberty before noon. Sabrina got off the car early at the intersection of Brown Street. When the carriage was picked up at the gate of the Temple of Liberty, she happened to see a postman on horseback stop. at the door.

"Excuse me, where did the letter come from?" Roy asked curiously.

"Padstow City in the Partington plane, mail it to a man named Woods. Is there anyone here named Woods? Why haven't I heard of it before?" The postman twisted the mustache on his upper lip with his hand and squinted his eyes. To Roy.

He is a Silver Moon Elf who hates these half-elves and mixed-blood elves from the bottom of his heart. However, the area he is responsible for is Brown Street, Edward Street and Rogue Street in the lower city.

The postman knew Roy. Although he couldn't pronounce his name, he also knew that he was a resident of Brown Street.

"He's Woods!"

Roy was already used to this and pointed at Woods aside.

Woods was stunned for a moment, then walked over and took a letter from the postman's hand. The postmark and ink pad were all there, and it had obviously not been opened.

This is a letter from the Partington plane.

The envelope was ordinary and there wasn't even a return address filled in.

After opening the letter, Woods became particularly excited.

He turned to Roy and said excitedly that this letter was sent to Woods by the elder who stayed in Partington's plane.

Woods then politely thanked the postman, turned around and ran into the courtyard of the Statue of Liberty.

Roy could only take out two kolers from his pocket and handed them to the postman while thanking him.

After the postman with eyes on his head rode away, Roy walked into the courtyard of the Statue of Liberty.

Roy held the letter and sat by the pool, reading the letter while crying.

Roy walked over and Woods told him the contents of the letter.

The letter said that he had joined the mixed elf rebel army and would not return to his hometown for the time being. He also asked Woods not to go to him and just buy a boat ticket to go home...

Roy was a little speechless.

We just decided to go to Padstow City, so it seems like Woods might not have to go.

…

Roy learned magical arts in the Temple of Liberty for an afternoon. High Priest Reed joked to Roy:

"Roy, you may be the last priest of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, and you are also a priest who has never been favored by the goddess's holy glory. I really don't understand where you accumulated so many holy priests. The power of light allowed you to advance to nine levels in a row?"

"It all depends on the holy light in my body to slowly recover...occasionally I will secretly drink some holy water."

Roy put down the organizational diagram of 'Wisdom Blessing'. He almost exhausted all his patience, but unfortunately he still failed to learn Wisdom Blessing.

Soon in the evening, Roy and Woods left the Temple of Liberty together, and they rushed to the Black Pearl, only to find Miss Tiffany and Moira grilling fish on the deck.

As a naga, Miss Tiffany can catch all kinds of delicious sea fish.

Roy felt that Moira was probably attracted to Tiffany because of this.

Seeing Roy and Woods rushing over, Miss Tiffany quickly handed the grilled fish in her hand to Roy. Only the grilled fish made by Roy himself was the most delicious.

Tiffany and Moira sit on the side of the boat...

Moira did not forget to whisper to Tiffany: "Look, I just say that the grilled fish cooked by Roy is the most delicious. He likes to use the freshest sea fish."

Moira wore tight-fitting leather armor, and a short sword was stuck on the belt on her slender waist.

There is no difference in length between a short sword and a long dagger.

Short swords are broad-edged swords, while long daggers are sharper and lighter...

Because it is a sword weapon, although Moira is good at assassination combat, she can still learn sword dance.

When no one else is around, Tiffany will remove the magic, expose her fish tail, and stretch it out on the deck, which will be more comfortable.

"Roy, someone sneaked onto the Black Pearl last night. He probably found someone living here and left secretly again!"

Tiffany put her hands on the side of the boat and leaned back...

"Did you see what he looked like?" Roy squatted next to the oven and turned to ask.

Miss Tiffany shook her head: "I found him relatively late. When I found him, he had already run outside my door. And I still need to keep the position by the window so that I can escape in time when I meet a powerful guy... …Based on the keen intuition of a Naga mermaid, I don’t think I can beat that guy.”

Woods and Roy looked at each other. Someone was probably eyeing the Black Pearl.

Moira plucked up her courage and invited Miss Tiffany: "How about you stay at my house tonight and share a room with me."

With Tiffany's physique, she needs to soak in sea water frequently after she transforms back into a mermaid. Otherwise, once her scales become dehydrated, they will dry out and fall off, which is the most troublesome thing.

There is a large bathtub in the cabin of the Black Pearl, which is just big enough for Tiffany to sleep in the bathtub in her mermaid form.

Tiffany smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. Even if someone sneaks up and I can't beat him, I can still escape. There is the sea below. I can go down the window strips."

Woods touched the pocket on his waist and hesitated to speak.

Roy knew that there were several kinds of seeds in Woods' pocket, among which Roy had seen the thorn seeds.

Woods grabbed a handful of seeds, handed them to Tiffany, and then took the seeds back.

Woods said to Tiffany:

"I can help you arrange some plants and let them help you guard."

Woods then sprinkled some seeds in a flower pot and moved the flower pot to Tiffany's room.

Woods recited a series of incantations, and the seeds soon began to take root.

It was like a creeper. Those vines quickly spread out, and the outside of the hull was covered with such tree vines.

"This kind of creeper only becomes particularly active at night. As long as someone touches its leaves, it will become extremely nervous." Woods told Tiffany.

Then, Roy was asked to go outside and touch the leaves of the vine. Sure enough, the entire leaves of the vine were shaking violently.

"There are actually such magical plants!"

Roy said curiously.

"Actually, this plant is not that magical..." Woods explained in a low voice.

Then Woods took Roy and the three of them into his plant cultivation room.

The most gratifying thing is that under Woods' careful cultivation, the seeds of the Flower of Light actually sprouted in the breeding box on the Black Pearl.

There are only twenty-three flower seeds in the entire spike. Woods successfully caused nineteen Flower of Light seeds to germinate. They grew in flower pots, and each plant almost grew three leaves.

The flower of light is a light-loving plant that requires long hours of sunshine, but cannot be watered too much. The delicate leaf pods will break if blown by the wind, making them very delicate.

The leaves of the sprouts that grew out also had shiny patterns. The leaves looked a bit like highland barley and grew very slowly, but Roy could clearly feel that each leaf had a faint sacred aura.

Roy looked at these flowers of light placed on the top of the ship, and his mood immediately improved.

When leaving the Black Pearl, he also took away two pots of flowers of light.

When passing by the Temple of Liberty, he gave a pot of flowers of light to High Priest Reed.

But the strange thing is that High Priest Reed has no feeling for the Flower of Light, and seems to be unable to detect the sacred aura of the Flower of Light at all.

He stood next to the main hall, holding a flower pot, and was very happy that Roy could send such a gift.

Roy took another pot of flowers of light home and placed them on the windowsill.

He slept very soundly that night, but when he woke up the next morning, the flower of light had wilted.

Roy was so frightened that he quickly moved the Flower of Light to the Temple of Liberty, pulled Woods out of bed, and asked him to help find out what was wrong with the Flower of Light.

Woods could only carry it back to the breeding room. For a whole day, when Roy walked out of the Temple of Liberty and ran to the Black Pearl with Woods, the Flower of Light actually became alive again. A vigorous look.

But the problem is that Woods has been outside all day and hasn't taken much care of this flower of light...

Roy couldn't figure out how Woods did it.

Since the Flower of Light is difficult to raise, but Roy really needs the power of the Holy Light on the Flower of Light, Roy can only go home with a pot of Flower of Light, and then let Woods move it to the house. Come back, because he can't feed him at all...

But we still need to absorb the power of the holy light from the leaves, so we have to do everything possible to get in touch with these flowers of light...

Roy could only move around like this, and the speed at which he obtained the power of the Holy Light every night began to speed up.

Woods recently tried to use holy water to water the flowers of light. Although it seemed to have no effect, Woods still insisted on using holy water to water the flowers of light.

Every time Roy absorbs the holy light attached to the Flower of Light, he feels that his state is only one step away from being a priest.

…

The courses at the Elf Academy are also very intense.

Whether it's astrology or Gemini Sea geography, it's all new knowledge for Roy, and he needs a lot of time to digest this new knowledge.

On the contrary, martial arts training classes have become much easier for Roy.

After he became a ninth-level trainee priest, it was not so troublesome to learn the elves' close combat and arch skills.

The elf student who was sparring with Roy was still Claire.

Although Claire has been exercising throughout the holiday, during sparring, she feels that she is clearly no match for Roy.

Because not only did Roy crush Claire in terms of strength, but he was not much slower than Claire in terms of speed, so every time Roy swung the wooden stick, Claire could only struggle to parry.

After some practice, the two sat on the grass slope to rest.

Claire almost lay on the lawn, twisted her head and said to Roy: "Roy, our outdoor survival practice class this time will be held on Hoodi Island. Let's stay together then."

Roy shook his head and said: "Claire, I guess it won't work this time. I will use this time to return to Padstow City and cooperate with the military to find Benjamin. It is best to find Abbott. Jasper This matter must come to an end."

After hearing what Roy said, Claire immediately became interested.

"Roy, how about I go to Padstow City too?"

Roy glanced at Claire and found that he was serious when he spoke, so he responded: "Um, are you sure you can handle the teachers in the outdoor practical class?"

"If I say that I am going to Padstow City to collect scenery, maybe it will work." Claire sat up from the lawn and said with wide eyes.

At this time, Roy had to remind him: "Actually, going to Padstow City is still a little bit dangerous."

Claire immediately slapped her chest loudly: "Then you have to take me with you."

"Well, as long as you can handle the academy, come with us to Padstow."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Roy readily agreed.

…

In the evening, Roy went to the Black Pearl again, preparing to take away a pot of flowers of light.

When they came to the deck, they found Woods squatting on the deck, carefully looking at the broken place of the main mast.

Although Jasper had hired a carpenter in the city to repair the crack in the main mast, it was obviously structurally weak.

The ship ran aground on the seashore and experienced several strong winds. Some rivets at the broken joints of the main mast began to loosen, and there were even greater damages in the repaired parts of the entire main mast.

Before... these problems were wrapped in wooden boards and no one noticed.

The planks have now been removed by Woods.

"Roy, why is there such a deep sword mark here?" Woods asked Roy in a low voice.

"During the last battle at the port, I was slashed by the elf captain." Roy answered honestly.

Woods patted his head hard and reminded Roy: "If this ship goes to sea in the future, this may be a hidden danger."

Roy was a little speechless. He also knew that repairing the main mast like this wouldn't last long, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"...Is there any way? Repairing like this is already the strongest way, unless we replace a new mast, but that is not realistic. There is not even a decent ship repair yard here in Castletown. I Even if I buy a piece of wood suitable for making the mainmast, there is no way to move it to the ship."

"Maybe I can help." Woods smiled confidently at Roy.

Roy asked curiously: "What are you going to do? Do you need me to prepare a piece of wood for the main mast?"

Woods shook his head and said with a smile: "Roy, do you still remember the window you saw in Earl Swinburne's house?"

"You mean the living window frame?" Roy thought for a long time before he realized that Woods was talking about the window frame.

"I could try to bring the mainmast back to life and let it repair itself," Woods explained.

Woods' proposal somewhat subverted Roy's cognition.

"Can this still happen?"

It seems that Woods is not too sure, and only said: "I want to try..."

"Okay! Then just go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter if you fail. The worst thing you can do is replace the mainmast later."
