Path of light

Chapter 68 69. Apology

When Roy left home in the early morning, the door to Ms. Belinda's room was still closed.

The dress she wore yesterday was still hanging on the back of the chair in the living room, and her shoes were lying in the entrance hall.

Roy placed the brewed fruit tea on the dining table and tiptoed out of the house.

All the way to the intersection of Brown Street.

While standing at the crossroads waiting for the long carriage, Mrs. Winnie's night saber poked its head out of its den, peeked at Roy for a few times, and then lay back lazily.

It's rare that there is no fog in the morning, and the sea and sky are blue.

The sun shines on the sea, making the waves sparkling.

Castletown Port Terminal is extremely busy in the early morning.

When Roy looked at the pier, wherever he looked, he happened to see a black ship stranded on the beach on the west side.

But now there was an apricot-yellow flag flying on the stern of the black sea ship, swaying back and forth in the sea breeze.

Although the flag was a bit torn, like a piece of old gauze blown by the wind, it showed one thing, that is, the Sea Wolf was occupied by someone.

Roy was a little curious as to who was so bold as to take over the Sea Wolf at this time.

Aren't you afraid that the dwarf captain will come to your door at night?

I really wanted to go and see it in person, but a long carriage drove slowly along the long street from a distance.

Roy didn't want to miss this carriage, because once he missed this carriage, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for the next one.

At this time, Sabrina was running down Brown Street wearing a long dress.

When she saw Roy standing at the intersection, she walked over to him holding the book and stood beside him...

She smelled like soap.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Roy felt that the look Sabrina looked at him this morning was much friendlier than before.

Before Roy could think of anything to say, the long carriage stopped at the intersection.

Sabrina followed the crowd into the coach, Roy following behind Sabrina.

Sabrina sat down on the bench on the left side, glanced at Roy, and pointed to the empty seat next to her.

After Roy sat down, Sabrina said:

"Moira has been very happy recently and has become much more cheerful than before. In the past, she refused to learn martial arts no matter how Jefferson asked her to. Unexpectedly, in order to help you this time, she learned harder than anyone else."

Roy smiled and said, "I haven't been able to keep up with the study progress in the past few days. Fortunately, I have your help, otherwise instructor Nora might have persuaded me to quit."

Hearing what Roy said, Sabrina also pursed her lips and smiled.

...Roy always felt that the way she looked at him was a little special.

Sabrina turned to look at Roy and said softly:

"Moira told some stories yesterday about the time when you and Ms. Belinda first moved here. If she hadn't brought it up on her own initiative, I would have forgotten that you were only this tall when you first came here..."

Sabrina ran her hand along the edge of the chair's backrest.

Then, as if she was repenting for something she had done wrong, she approached Roy and whispered to him:

"Thinking about it now, I suddenly feel that the last time I beat you... I really shouldn't have hit you so hard."

Roy couldn't help complaining: 'What is this... a proactive apology? ’

But his face showed no concern, and he said casually: "It's all in the past, why bring it up..."

The long carriage stopped by the street, and another group of people crowded into the carriage.

Roy coughed slightly and hesitated before saying, "Sabrina, do you know any of Jefferson's friends?"

Sabrina looked at Roy in confusion, a little confused as to why Roy still mentioned this man.

But he still replied: "I don't know, what's wrong?"

"I want to find them. Jefferson asked those sailors to be killed like this. If his friends are capable, they should find a way to avenge him."

This was the excuse Roy had been thinking about for a long time.

Then he added: "I heard that there are mercenary groups and adventure groups in Castletown that can take on such revenge missions. If they have such thoughts, I think I can provide some help within my ability, such as helping them Describe what those sailors looked like.”

"Only Jillian knows this, but I advise you not to go to her about this matter. I don't want her to be angry and leave a shadow in your heart..."

Sabrina warned Roy quietly.

…

When the long carriage stopped at the entrance of the college, Sabrina got out of the carriage first, and then walked into the college without looking back.

Roy followed behind, calmly lowering his raised hand, and after taking a few steps towards the entrance of the college, Claire caught up with him among the people coming and going.

Looking at Sabrina's back, Claire touched Roy with her arm and asked in a low voice: "Your goal?"

"Neighbor!"

Roy walked to the campus with his books under his arm.

Claire caught up with Roy, leaned into his ear, and whispered to him: "Steve has set a date for the duel. Next weekend... there are still thirteen days left, should we also practice on a regular basis? "

When he heard Claire talking about a duel, Roy rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Originally, Steve only wanted to cause trouble for Claire, but now he actually got involved with her.

Roy has been practicing elf martial arts hard every day recently. In addition to some pressure from instructor Nora, part of it is the arena battle proposed by Steve.

Although this duel between the two sides is not about life or death, the losing side will definitely be embarrassed in the circles of the Elf Academy...

Because of this, Claire takes this duel very seriously.

I discuss it with Roy every morning.

Both Roy and Claire knew very well that Steve was much stronger than the two of them, and it would not be easy to defeat the other duo...

On the training ground, instructor Nora brought a group of students to the front of a row of weapon racks.

Although these weapon racks are all wooden weapons used for training, the optional categories are not limited to wooden swords. In addition to wooden swords, wooden spears, wooden axes, wooden hammers, wooden sticks, and unedged Daggers, wooden shields are present on the weapon rack.

Students are free to choose weapon combinations, and this class also allows students to experience some other types of weapons.

Instructor Nora also took into consideration that not everyone likes to use long swords...

So Roy decisively chose a mallet with a heavy handle this time, and also picked a thick wooden shield for himself, which was very heavy.

Claire picked a long, unsharpened dagger from the wooden stand.

After holding these two weapons, Roy felt that he couldn't run...

"Roy, don't you think these two weapons are cumbersome together? Who would stand there waiting for you to rush over and hit him..."

Claire felt her eyes darken when she saw Roy's choice of weapon, and couldn't help but complain.

Faced with Claire's complaints, Roy didn't care. He waved the gavel in his hand and said nonchalantly: "This will at least make it safer. The competition on the battlefield is not who kills the most enemies, but who can survive." To the end.”

The two stood on the training ground, ready to start fighting practice.

"Roy is absolutely right..."

Steve walked over with a young elf noble. The two of them even kept the same pace. The silver-haired elf exuded a sharp aura. At a glance, you knew that he must have extraordinary reach.

"But... are you two ready to be beaten? We'll see you at the gate of the arena next Sunday morning!"

Steve shouted to Claire, looking confident.

The silver-haired companion looked at Roy and Claire seriously, then nodded to them, and the two parties separated...

"That's Adams. I didn't expect Steve to find him and become his partner..."

Claire held the long dagger, stood next to the weapon rack, and whispered to Roy.

At this time, Roy swung the gavel a few times and became out of breath...

Claire stood next to Roy. Seeing that Roy was not strong enough to use the heavy mallet, she said to Roy:

"Roy, why don't you think again and change to a lighter weapon."

Roy shook his head stubbornly, dragged the gavel, raised his shield, and waved the gavel at Claire without any explanation.

The long dagger in Claire's hand was unable to parry the heavy mallet, so she could only take a step back...
