Path of light

Chapter 62 63. Cemetery

The cemetery was very quiet. High Priest Reed was squatting in front of the tomb, with the nameplate flat in his hand.

"She did not return to the embrace of the Moon God, nor did she jump into the moon well. When she died, she did not want to stay in the library. She actually turned into a wraith in the cemetery. Such a situation is really rare!"

High Priest Reed had gentle eyes and a calm tone.

"Why do you say that?" Ackerson asked a little strangely.

Another elf guard also came over, wanting to hear High Priest Reed's explanation.

High Priest Reed sighed and said: "If you die with great resentment, then this resentful spirit will definitely stay in the library, but her soul will always follow the body to the cemetery, and then return to the cemetery. This place has turned into a resentful spirit, which shows that she still has deep feelings for the library, and because of her obsession, she is unwilling to throw herself into the arms of the Moon God."

Exon's heart moved and he asked tentatively: "So...her death has nothing to do with the library?"

High Priest Reed shook his head and said, "I can't confirm this for you. Let's see what else she can remember later!"

He set his eyes on the tomb, stood up straight, handed the nameplate in his hand to Roy, and stretched his hands forward...

Usually this kind of thing is the responsibility of the priests of the Temple of the Moon. Probably because the deceased was a mixed-blood elf, the Temple of the Moon was unwilling to help, so the two elven patrols found the Temple of Liberty.

It was Roy's first time to participate in this kind of thing, and he didn't know what he needed to do at this time, so he simply followed High Priest Reed and waited for his instructions.

High Priest Reed condensed a ball of holy light with his hands and recited a short prayer without even seeing how his fingers moved.

I saw a divine pattern burst out from the holy light group, and then turned into countless light spots in an instant. A beam of light was projected from the falling light spots, covering the entire tomb.

Although the morning sun was not dazzling, it was still sunny in the cemetery after the morning fog cleared.

But even under such strong light, the light beam in front of High Priest Reed's body was still clearly visible, and even each light prism was so distinct.

In the pillar of light, an almost transparent resentful spirit floated out of the tomb. It was very uncomfortable with the strong light around it, and the edges of its body outline were rapidly turning into wisps of white smoke.

She could barely keep her appearance in front of her, and her blurry face was full of anger. She opened her hands and planned to pounce on the nearest High Priest Reed, but her body could not escape from the beam.

It turns out that this is the complete version of purification! Roy thought to himself.

Jasper's purification technique can only be considered elementary at best.

Roy lowered his head and glanced at the metal nameplate in his hand. The nameplate said in Elvish:

To Windsor: A kind and gentle half-blood elf, a half-blood elf with a noble soul, a warrior in the face of adversity...

After a series of speeches, there is actually an introduction to Windsor's life. This mixed-blood elf girl has been without parents since she was a child, and has always been dependent on her brother Peleus...

Seeing this, Roy was slightly startled.

He put down the nameplate in his hand, turned to Exxon and asked:

"She is Peleus's sister?"

Elf Patrolman Exon was slightly startled and said hesitantly: "That's right... do you know Peleus?"

Roy glanced at High Priest Reed, who was still concentrating on purification, and said:

"Peleus stole the Holy Grail from the temple, and then died inexplicably. Now the whereabouts of the Holy Grail are still unknown."

"..."

Exxon didn't expect it to be like this, and was stunned for a while.

At this time, High Priest Reed turned around and said to Elf Patrolman Exon:

"Her soul power is too weak. Even if I don't come to purify her, her soul fire won't last long. It will only dissipate naturally in the cemetery in three nights at most, unless new soul fire can be obtained. "

"In addition, she has lost all memories of her life, and only the last bit of resentment is left to keep her soul alive. Now she can hardly maintain the outline of her body."

When Exon heard what High Priest Reed said, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"We suspect that her death was not suicide, but unfortunately we couldn't find any useful clues at the scene... Since she can't remember anything, let her leave here!"

High Priest Reed nodded, turned around and looked at the soul whose figure in the beam had become extremely pale.

"Go and return to the embrace of the goddess Elune."

After saying that, the holy light in the beam became more intense, and the resentful spirit called Windsor turned into a few ash falling on the ground. A soul that was so pale that it was almost invisible flew up and flew to the sky without any nostalgia. , and disappeared in an instant.

After purifying this resentful spirit, things here will be over.

The purpose of inviting High Priest Reed to the cemetery is to purify this resentful spirit.

Although the elf patrols also have some more violent methods to get rid of this resentful spirit, they will not use them unless there is really no other method.

The Elf Patrol in Lower City invited the priests from the Temple of Liberty to purify the resentful spirits, and High Priest Reed was naturally willing to help.

Although the reward is not much, being able to establish contact with the Elf Guards in the Lower City is actually not a bad thing for the temple.

He is a communicator of the Holy Light, so of course he is willing to help...

I brought Roy here this time to tell Roy that when the priests go out to complete some commissions, it is safer to take this normal route.

The elf patrol rushed High Priest Reed and Roy back to the temple in a carriage before noon.

…

"Teacher, are these things we usually need to do?"

Roy stood at the gate of the temple, looked at the leaving carriage, and asked High Priest Reed.

High Priest Reed walked into the courtyard of the temple, and then turned back and said: "This should actually be the responsibility of the Moon Temple. It's just that the priests in the Moon Temple don't want to come to the lower city, so the elf patrol came to us."

Roy hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative and said, "Teacher, I think Windsor's death may be related to the Holy Grail."

High Priest Reed turned around, came to Roy, put his hands on his shoulders and said:

"Although these clues involve the Holy Grail, I don't want you to take risks because of this, do you understand?"

Roy's heart warmed up and he replied: "I understand, teacher!"

Roy spent the whole afternoon practicing the divine patterns of secondary healing in the concierge.

In fact, he couldn't understand it. When he cast the purification technique, it was clear that High Priest Reed did not draw the divine pattern, and the prayer was too short, but the purification technique appeared in front of him in a very real way. He was a little confused... ...How did High Priest Reed do it?

…

At dusk, Roy changed his clothes and left the temple.

Abbot was still standing by the vestibule pool and reminded Roy loudly:

"Roy, there is a meeting tomorrow, don't forget to come early."

"knew."

Roy responded to the temple yard and walked home along Brown Street.

…

Roy cooked fried fish for dinner, and Ms. Belinda came back early today.

Ms. Belinda has always been full of praise for Roy's skill in frying fish. The dinner for two people is very simple, with each person having a cup of honey fruit tea and a portion of fried fish.

Sitting in front of the dining table, Ms. Belinda patiently picked out the fish bones.

Roy's fish is good in every way, except that he doesn't remove the fish bones before cooking, which makes it very troublesome when eating.

But Roy enjoyed the process of picking fish bones very much...

"It's been so long, how are you preparing for the art exhibition? You're almost done!"

Roy asked Ms. Belinda while picking up the fish bone.

Ms. Belinda looked embarrassed and said apologetically:

"Master More Clair Latin was a little seriously ill this time, so except for the most critical facial sculpture, which was completed by him himself, the rest was almost all assigned to us. There are many types of sculptures on display this time, and the tasks assigned are also There are a lot more than expected, so the art exhibition will be postponed for two weeks, so we will continue to be busy for a while.”

Roy raised his head, looked at Ms. Belinda and asked:

"Does this mean you have to work hard for about two weeks?"

Ms. Belinda dipped a little sauce on the fish and took a bite before saying:

"That's almost it..."

When she eats fish, her movements are also very graceful.

After dinner, the two of them sat on the terrace together, quietly watching the sunset sink into the sea...
