Path of light

After leaving the tavern, Roy originally planned to visit the Magic Guild next to the Elf Academy in Uptown.

There are junior appraisers there who can help people appraise various artifacts related to magic.

Roy planned to identify whether the flame in his hand was magic. If it was magic, then he planned to learn some magic-related subjects.

It was only when he reached the intersection of Brown Street that he found two elves patrolling the intersection. They were checking pedestrians entering Brown Street.

The entire Brown Street was under martial law, and only people were allowed in but not allowed out, which made residents on the entire street panic.

Mrs. Winnie, the proprietress of the pharmacy shop at the street corner, stood on the steps outside the shop, watching the two elves patrolling with some boredom while chatting with the owner of the fruit shop next door.

The night saber lying in her arms stared at Roy fiercely, his amber eyes full of vigilance.

The neighbors on the street ran to the street, everyone was talking about what happened, but the elf patrol came and put the entire Brown Street under martial law.

Since he could not leave Brown Street for the time being, Roy walked back home.

When he just walked to the door of his house, Roy saw a beautiful elf in a white silk skirt with her arms wrapped around several books and a pair of sandals with straps wrapped around her legs. Coming from the direction of the street.

Those legs wrapped in the skirt are really long, and the small part exposed is as white as ivory.

She is Sabrina, the eldest daughter of her neighbor Ms. Gillian. She is a rare tall person among elves, at least a head taller than Roy.

Her complexion is fair and her eyes are like two magnificent emeralds.

Among the elves, only wood elves have green eyes and tall bodies.

However, Sabrina has inherited the exquisiteness of the Silver Moon Elf in other parts of her body, such as her straight nose and crystal clear pointed ears...

Like Moira, neighbors believe that Sabrina is a cross between a silver moon elf and a wood elf.

Needless to say, her mother was Ms. Gillian who made a living by selling fish, and her father, everyone guessed, was a wood elf.

Ms. Jillian never mentions Sabrina and Moira's father.

Although the two are sisters, the elder sister has the blood of the wood elves, while the other sister has a little bit of the blood of the dark moon elves.

Roy doesn't know his sister Sabrina well, but he has a good relationship with his sister Moira.

Sabrina attends Castletown Elf Academy and is a member of the Lady Liberty Temple Choir, rarely spending time at home.

Moira is a very introverted elf, even a little autistic, always shutting herself at home.

"Good afternoon...Sabrina!"

Roy actually prefers to call her Big White Goose...

However, once he yells like this, it will definitely anger Sabrina. As long as he is caught by her, Roy will inevitably get a fat beating.

Especially after she went to school, Roy couldn't beat her no matter what.

After being slapped a few times, Roy's mouth became much more honest.

Sabrina, who was standing outside the courtyard door, turned around and saw Roy. She rolled her eyes quickly, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

It's like this every time...

She walked into the yard with her head held high, her sexy body wrapped in the skirt moving rhythmically with every step she took, leaving only Roy with a big back.

…

The two courtyards are actually only separated by a low wall.

Roy put the bucket into the kitchen, put away the fishing rod and hook, and washed his feet at the same time, when he heard Sabrina's voice next door:

"Moira, where are you?"

"Sister, I'm upstairs!"

Roy thought it was time to put away the clothes he had dried on the terrace last night, so he climbed to the second floor barefoot.

I happened to see Sabrina climbing up to the second floor on the terrace next door.

She placed a paper bag on the small table in front of Moira, and sat down on a square stool next to Moira.

Moira saw Roy appearing on the terrace opposite, glanced at him, put down the book she was holding, and then asked her sister Sabrina:

"...Why did you come back so early today?"

Her voice is a little scratchy, probably because of her skin color, and she usually prefers to wear black skirts.

Sabrina casually threw off the sandals on her feet, curled up her feet on the lounge chair, stretched her slender body lazily, and then said:

"The Statue of Liberty was stolen last night. All activities are canceled today. I don't know what happened on Brown Street. The whole street is under martial law. I couldn't go to the fish market to help, so I had to come back."

Moira covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, and then asked in a low voice:

"The Holy Grail in front of the holy pool in the temple?"

Sabrina glanced casually at the terrace opposite and found that Roy had left with dry clothes in his arms, then nodded and said:

"That's it. It always contains a glass of water. Occasionally, if someone comes to pray, the priest will pour them a glass..."

Moira blinked: "Why did they think of stealing this?"

"Maybe it's for the gold and gems on it, who knows!"

Sabrina acted very indifferent. Although she was a member of the temple choir, the fact that a Holy Grail was lost in the temple had nothing to do with her.

Anyway, it’s not the old organ that was lost…

She was a little distracted, but she didn't expect a nasty guy to appear next to the railing of the terrace next door.

"Have you caught the thief who stole the Holy Grail?" Roy asked Sabrina.

Roy wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to Sabrina if he wasn't very curious.

Every time the two communicated, Sabrina had a bad expression.

But this time Sabrina didn't criticize Roy. Instead, she put away her lazy look and said with a straight face:

"No, you also know how... outstanding the guards are, how could they catch them all at once!"

Roy habitually retracted his head and responded:

"Yes!"

Next, Roy ran downstairs, took a shower and changed into fresh clothes.

There is a cool sea breeze in Castletown Harbor in the summer, so it is not too hot. On days when there are no air conditioners and fans, lying in bed with the windows open will feel very comfortable.

When it was time for dinner, Roy ran to the kitchen and made a fish stew...

Roy ate dinner alone.

Ms. Belinda did not come back, probably because the art museum was too busy.

After it was completely dark, Ms. Jillian came back from the fish market with her trolley.

The two elf guards also ran to Ms. Gillian's house next door and chatted with Ms. Gillian for a while, seemingly investigating Jefferson who died during the day.

Roy deliberately waited until the two elf guards left Ms. Gillian's house, ran to the terrace, held the railing of the terrace with both hands, and asked the elf patrol outside the gate:

"Have those sailors not been captured yet?"

The two elf guards stopped, they were the same ones they had seen in the tavern during the day.

They didn't want to say anything at first, but when they saw it was Roy, one of them stopped and answered: "Not yet, the other party has diplomatic immunity."

"Oh!" Roy agreed.

The elf guard asked casually:

"...Do you know Jefferson?"

Roy answered calmly: "I saw him on the street before, but we didn't talk."

"All right."

The elf patrol felt that they could not find any useful information on Roy, so they looked at each other and walked next door. They would also investigate other residents on Brown Street tonight.

"Hey Hey hey……"

Roy also wanted to talk to the two elf guards about the theft at the Temple of Liberty...

But the elf guard left the neighbor's yard and walked into the house next door without looking back.

…

At night in Castletown, the sea breeze cools the entire city.

Many times, Roy would be like now, lying on a chair on the terrace and chatting with Moira on the terrace opposite.

Talking about what happened during the day, Roy could only describe it as "terrible".

Moira at night, perhaps because she felt safer under the cover of night.

So she is more lively at this time than during the day.

And when she was in a bad mood and didn't plan to go out to meet 'people', Roy couldn't find her even if she was standing on the terrace.

I don't know since when, Roy has been accustomed to telling Moira about some of his experiences during the day.

For example, when he met the group of sailors today and the subsequent fight in the tavern, Roy talked about it all.

At night, Moira's eyes were very bright.

Although the two terraces were almost five meters apart, Roy could still see that her eyes seemed a little bright.

She had just taken a shower and was wearing a loose skirt, with her wet hair hanging loose.

Her small face looks particularly pure. Except for her dark skin, everything else is inherited from Ms. Gillian, more like a silver moon elf...

In the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, the status of mixed-blood elves is lower than that of half-elves like Roy, and they are more likely to be criticized.

"I see……"

That was all Moira said the whole night.

…

The lights on the pier on the seaside were brightly lit in the distance. Today's high tide will be after midnight. Ms. Jillian went to bed early after dinner. She would rush to the pier around early in the morning to pick up the fish.

The lives of elves in the lower classes are usually very hard.

Although Roy didn't agree with her attitude towards life, he admired her hard work.

She is the kind of person who is extremely persistent in life. She insists on selling fish at the fish market on the pier every day to support her two daughters.

Moira was cared for like a flower in a greenhouse.

Compared with Ms. Gillian, Roy's mother seems to be more casual. She often leaves Roy alone at home. Moreover, this half-elf son has turned into another Roy for so long without even noticing. .

Over the past year or so, Roy has gradually integrated into this environment.

Thinking of going to the Magic Guild tomorrow to identify the ball of light that would always appear in the palm of his hand, Roy lay on the bed and fell asleep with great anticipation...
