Path of light

Chapter 77 78. Mirror

Almost every semester, some restless students need to come to the arena to resolve conflicts between the two sides. Instructor Nora has long been accustomed to this.

She only needs to ensure that neither party is disabled, let alone accidentally killed. In fact, being injured is nothing...

Injury is something that every elf will definitely experience when growing up.

As long as you drink some sap from the tree of life, your injuries will recover quickly.

This time, the right side of Steve's face was heavily bruised by the wooden shield. His cheekbones were swollen so high that he could barely open his right eye.

He sat on the bench in some embarrassment, the pride on his face disappeared without a trace. After applying hemostatic ointment to the bloody hole in his leg, he also wrapped it tightly with a bandage several times. The bandage was pretty good, although Occasionally, blood seeped out, but it was just a small mark.

Steve drinks a glass of life tree sap but refuses Abbot's treatment.

The reason is that as a believer in the Temple of the Moon, it is impossible to receive divine treatment from the Temple of Liberty.

The duel is over, and the two sides have no bets and no commitments to fulfill.

So Steve quickly left the arena.

Because Steve and Adams were too confident before, they didn't prepare a stretcher when they arrived, so Steve sat in a chair and waited for a while until his friend found a stretcher before leaving in a hurry.

…

In the stands, Claire was surrounded by a group of friends. She seemed particularly happy because she probably heard the praise from her sister Belle Claire.

Students from the junior martial arts training class also came over one after another.

Everyone sent congratulations to Claire, hoping to deepen their relationship with each other through communication.

Claire and Roy are usually two transparent people in the class, and everyone rarely notices them. If they hadn't heard that they had a duel with Steve and Adams, even some students wouldn't notice, but the class would actually There is also a half-elf...

Roy put the chainmail back into the trunk and returned the original to Claire.

Claire looked at the big suitcase, pulled Roy aside, and whispered to him: "Roy, if you like heavy armor, you can stay..."

Roy waved his hand casually and responded:

"It's better to take it back. I don't want the first set of heavy armor to be a gift from a friend. I will customize a set in the future."

Claire looked at Roy with a firm look, so she had no choice but to put the heavy suitcase into her pocket and muttered helplessly:

"Okay, as long as you don't regret it..."

…

Seeing that Roy actually returned a set of chainmail to Claire and refused the gift.

Belle was a little surprised.

In her eyes, many humans are greedy, and it is even difficult to hide the desire in their eyes.

The young half-elf in front of her looked completely human, but there was no greed in her eyes. It really made her look at her differently...

She walked up to her brother Wagner Claire, took the initiative to help him straighten the collar of his leather armor, smiled at him and said:

"I didn't expect... you actually won. The tactics were executed well! Congratulations, Wagner. If you are on the battlefield outside, your friend will also be a trustworthy partner!"

"Of course, I have always had good taste!" Claire said proudly.

But then Claire was dragged away by a group of friends, who all wanted to get to know Roy.

Belle Claire stood on the edge of the stands...

She also has her own circle of friends.

Several friends who had accompanied her to the arena to watch the duel came to her side and said:

"I didn't expect that Steve and Adams actually lost. This duel really allowed Claire to successfully counterattack... His friend should be a trainee priest..."

Seeing that her friend was hesitant in speaking, Belle looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Belle, aren't you going to form an adventure group? I think it would be good to include a trainee priest in the adventure group." My friend reminded me in a low voice: "As long as you include your brother, can the trainee priest join our adventure? Group, it’s probably just a matter of time.”

Belle Claire didn't expect that her friend was talking about this. She was planning to form an adventure group, but what she planned to form was an adventure group composed of Silver Moon elves. Only in this way could she pass the application for the envoy of the Moon Temple.

If there are mixed elves or half-elves in the adventure group, the Moon Temple will never allow the envoys to join.

Belle Claire frowned and hesitated before saying, "Wait a minute, they haven't even graduated from elementary martial arts yet!"

…

After Roy said goodbye to Claire, he left the arena with Jasper and Abbott.

They usually live next to the port terminal and rarely come to the upper city.

There are still a lot of various shops on the main street of Castletown. Because this is a port city, there are many imported goods in the shops, so all kinds of goods are filled with the windows.

Jasper and Abbott are in a magic shop buying some glitter.

In fact, the Darkmoon Ranger likes to use this thing very much. When thrown out, it can flicker with light, and the Darkmoon Ranger can take the opportunity to hide in the shadows, but for the priest, this thing is actually of no use...

The only use is to make the magic more brilliant.

Recently, both Jasper and Abt have received some commissioned tasks, which are basically dirty jobs like purifying evil spirits.

If they want to make the purification ceremony more beautiful, they use glitter.

But this thing is not very cheap in magic shops...

When passing a bakery, he smelled the strong aroma of wheat inside, so Roy walked in and bought a bread stick.

Jasper stopped by the shop along the street and bought some soft leather, a roll of cloth and a wooden box of iron nails. He walked out of the shop and said to Roy:

"Recently, Abt and I have been exploring how many dead souls are in the cabin. There are not many dead souls hidden in the cabin. We have almost purified them in the past few days."

"It's true that there are a lot of dead souls in the oar room below the deck. We haven't done anything yet. We're waiting for some of the power of the Holy Light to recover and we're trying to find a way to purify them."

"It's rare that I still have some free time this afternoon. How about we try again...?" Roy said.

"I made an appointment with the owner of the carpentry workshop. We will go to the workshop and transport the repaired doors and windows back." Jasper looked at the sun above his head and said, "Try to reinstall the doors and windows in the afternoon, so that's it." Even if it rains, there is no need to worry about the inside of the ship building getting damp."

The three of them talked about the afternoon's work plan while walking. Due to Roy's left shoulder injury, the main labor force was still Jasper and Abbot.

Jasper has always been very concerned about repairing the Black Pearl, and he did not hesitate to use some of his savings to do so. Seeing that he changed the big hole in the bottom of the ship into a door, it was obvious that he did not intend to let the ship The ship goes to sea.

The three of them came to the carpenter's workshop on Brown Street and borrowed a flatbed truck from the boss before transporting the repaired doors and windows to the Black Pearl on the west side of the pier.

In such a hot weather, the scorching sun scorched the stone road so hot that every breath felt like breathing in a ball of fire.

Unfortunately, there was no sea breeze at all. The three of them finally carried the repaired doors and windows from the edge of the beach to the shade of the Black Pearl. They sat on a few rocks and refused to move again.

"The tide will rise soon. We have to hoist these doors and windows to the deck quickly. We can't let them soak in the sea water..."

Fortunately, the cantilever wheel on the ship has not been removed and remains on the side of the ship.

To put it simply, this thing has a fixed pulley installed on the wooden arm, and the rope is introduced into the groove of the fixed pulley. Roy hangs the prepared rope on the hook below, and Jasper and Abbot It didn't take much effort for people to work together to pull these doors and windows to the bow deck.

By the time these tasks were done, the tide had risen to the edge of the Black Pearl.

Jasper began to become a little absent-minded, and would always look at the reef not far away from time to time. The water there was deeper.

Although Roy was slightly injured, the work of installing doors and windows was also done by Jasper and Abbot, and he just followed them as a small laborer.

Roy followed the two people into the ship building, and immediately used the low-light lighting technique to condense a ball of sacred light. This ensured that once a dead soul approached, it would immediately appear in the holy light.

There are some traces left after the battle everywhere at the door of the ship building, but the blood stains on them have been cleaned away.

I just don't know whether the blood stains were washed away by the rain, or whether Jasper and Abbott cleaned them.

There are two rooms on the left side of the first floor of the ship, and the kitchen and storage room on the right side. The corridor on the side of the kitchen has stairs leading to the second floor, as well as stairs leading to the cabin below the deck.

The two rooms on the left side of the first floor have two independent wooden doors on the deck.

The first wooden door Jasper and Abt installed was in the first room on the left.

In addition to a very well-made carved wooden bed, the room also has a bronze wardrobe, table, chairs and bookshelves.

A torn bed sheet was balled up on the wooden floor. There were broken bottles on the ground, notebooks stained with blood, and quills with bald feathers...

A cabinet door was open, and there were some women's dresses and cloaks in the closet. These clothes were made of high-grade fabrics, and there were some bloody finger prints on the cabinet door.

When I walked to the closet, I could still smell the faint scent of perfume on the clothes.

The wooden boards on the bed were still stained with large amounts of blood, and there were even signs of the body being dragged away.

On the contrary, all the books on the bookshelf were moved away, and even the things on the desk were completely emptied. Two empty drawers were also lying under the table.

There is also a bronze mirror with exquisite hollow patterns hanging on the wall.

Roy walked over and stood in front of the bronze mirror, his handsome face clearly reflected in it...

A flash of lightning passed through my mind.

Roy finally remembered that when he saw Priest Andyson talking to himself in the mirror in the temple warehouse, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

then……

He stood at the door of the warehouse and didn't even see the figure of Priest Andyson in the mirror!
