Path of light

Chapter 87 88.Investigator

The sea breeze blew from the deck, making the bells on the main mast jingle.

The setting sun shines through the clouds in the sky to the west, like a fire from hell.

There are still a few lonely small fishing boats on the sea trying to dock.

The three trainee priests sat side by side on the bronze horn on the bow of the boat, watching the waves constantly pushing towards the beach at their feet. Abt said gloomily:

"We have spent so much effort to repair the Black Pearl. What will happen to the Black Pearl if it is moved to Golfito?"

Jasper also looked confused. Not only was he reluctant to part with the Black Pearl, but he was also reluctant to part with Miss Tiffany. But should he give up the temple?

"Maybe the Temple of Liberty in Castletown won't be demolished! This is the closest port to Buenos, and it's not far from Golfito. It's the best outlet to the sea, so I think Unless all the Temples of Liberty in the entire elf world are to be demolished, the Temple in Castletown will not be demolished easily."

Roy was able to talk so eloquently because Teacher Harper Gustave happened to talk about this in the geography class in the morning.

He mainly talked about the Royal Capital of Buenos, and also radiated to the surrounding important cities. In addition to the seventeen satellite towns around Buenos that guard key areas, only the city of Castletown was clearly understood by Mr. Harper. The reason is that if the orc tribe in the north is used as the imaginary enemy, the army of the orc tribe secretly bypasses the Eternal Night Forest of the Dark Moon Kingdom in the north and attacks the Silver Moon Kingdom by boat from the sea. In addition to occupying the Queen Igwene Islands, Otherwise, the best place to land is Castletown.

When talking about Castletown Harbor, Mr. Harper's cane almost cracked the marble floor...

When Roy listened to other young elf students talking about Teacher Harper in class, he said that one of the proposals he was actively promoting recently was to transform the Ophelia family's Castletown seaside estate into a military fortress. This proposal Directly touching the interests of the Ophelia royal family.

Teacher Harper also suggested that it would be best to station the main force of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion of the Silver Moon Elves here to deter the fleet emerging from the north of the Endless Sea.

Of course, the orc tribe has not been able to form a decent fleet so far.

It is also worth mentioning that it is almost impossible for the army of the orc tribe to bypass the Evernight Forest in the Dark Moon Kingdom.

The relationship between elves and orcs is like that between angels and demons. The hatred accumulated over the years has reached the point of being completely irreconcilable.

Jasper saw the frustration on Abbott's face, and it was a little strange...

This guy has always been very easy-going and rarely has this entangled emotion of worrying about gains and losses, so he said:

"Don't think too much, let's wait for the notification from above, and then we will make a decision."

Thinking that the Black Pearl has now been completely cleaned up, and even the rotten wooden boards inside the hull have been pried out and replaced with new ones, especially since the main mast of the ship was shot with a big hole by the big elf archers, it may still be necessary. A huge copper sleeve stabilizes the mainmast.

The bow of the Black Pearl is now facing the sea, and the two-story building at the stern is raised high. When the window of the stern building is opened, you can just see the seaside manor on the lonely cliff. If you want to see the sea view, you have to Stand in the captain's cabin or simply go out on the rooftop terrace.

The kitchen and storage room on the first floor of the ship's building are on the left side. Originally, the first mate, Mrs. Yudula's room, and the second mate, Nelev's room, could just see the sea and the beautiful Castletown Harbor.

After Jasper's careful decoration, all the furnishings in Mrs. Udula's room were almost complete.

"All the dead souls on the ship have been cleaned up. Next, we have to decorate the empty rooms on the ship. As I said first... So I want the first mate's room on the first floor. You two can't take it from me!"

"Then I'll stay in the second mate's room." Abt said immediately while looking at the bustling Castletown Port.

Jasper patted Roy on the shoulder and said: "Roy, the captain's cabin is yours! Before going to sea, the captain's cabin will temporarily serve as our activity room..."

"Oh!" Roy looked back at the ship building. In fact, the captain's bedroom is quite good and very private. The only bad thing is that if the Black Pearl stays here, you will keep watching. No sea view.

"When can we go out to sea to hunt for treasure?" Abt asked.

Jasper turned to look at Roy and said with a smile: "At least one of the three of us can sail the Black Pearl freely on the sea. Didn't Roy learn sailing at the Elf Academy? Let's wait for him to leave. Graduate from the Elf Academy!"

"It will take another twenty years. By then, it may have been poached by others. What will be left for us... Can't we hire a captain?" Abt said loudly with a worried look on his face.

Jasper turned his head and glanced at Abbot. Ever since he discovered the treasure map, this guy seemed to have changed. He was always thinking about the little private money of the captain of the Sea Wolf.

"Aren't you afraid that the captain will throw us all into the sea on our way back?" Jasper scolded him.

Abut was stunned for a moment and said with some uncertainty:

"No way!"

Jasper put his arm around Abbot's shoulders and laughed and said, "Who knows about this kind of thing! You have to be prepared."

Roy thought for a moment and found out that Jasper and Abbot didn't seem to have been out to sea much, so he suggested: "How about this weekend, I tell Duke that we can go out to sea on his boat and experience the life at sea. ?”

"That's a good idea!" Jasper immediately agreed.

Abt also responded positively: "I agree, we should bring something with us then. Do we need to prepare a fruit basket?"

Jasper complained to Abbot: "Why should we eat fruit when we get on the boat? There are plenty of fish in the sea!"

…

In fact, plans cannot keep up with changes.

Just the day before the three trainee priests Roy, Abt, and Jasper planned to go to sea for the weekend, the Temple of Liberty finally sent an investigator.

High Priest Thorndike Yamos, he is a silver moon elf whose age cannot be discerned. His pale golden hair is meticulously combed behind his head. He wears a white priest robe inlaid with red edges and holds a silver-colored hair in his hand. The scepter looks very impressive when walking.

He walked out of the carriage, raised his head and looked at High Priest Reed at the gate, his eyes as sharp as knives. As he walked into the temple, he asked High Priest Reed:

"Reed, tell me how Andyson died. I need you to tell the whole thing in detail..."

When passing by Priest Theodore, he glanced at Priest Theodore.

But for the three trainee priests, Roy, Jasper and Abt, they didn't even bother to look at them.

High Priest Reed quickly followed High Priest Thorndike Yamos, and the two of them walked directly into the main hall of the Temple of Liberty.

"He is much more powerful than High Priest Reed..."

It wasn't until the figure of High Priest Thorndike Yamos disappeared from the door of the main hall that Jasper secretly spoke from behind.

"Be careful of others overhearing. I heard that the investigators in the temple are very powerful..." Abt warned in a low voice.

Jasper also knew that he could not be caught by the investigator at this time. He was not here for a trip, but to investigate the cause of priest Andyson's death.

If he doesn't like someone and wants to arrange a small shoe for that person to wear, it is estimated that no one in the temple can escape...

Jasper quickly shut his mouth.

The three of them ran to the well to wash the fruits, arranged them on plates, and then sent them to the room of High Priest Thorndike Yamos.

Priest Theodore, wearing a clean divine robe, was waiting anxiously outside the main hall, occasionally pacing back and forth on the steps at the door.

…

Roy also didn't expect that High Priest Reed and High Priest Thorndike Yamos would talk for so long in the main hall. They waited until the sun went down before High Priest Reed walked away from the main hall with a tired look on his face. Come out of the temple.

Seeing High Priest Reed coming out, Priest Theodore immediately approached him and asked anxiously:

"How about it, have you made it clear?"

High Priest Reed nodded slightly, and then said to Priest Theodore:

"You should go in too, High Priest Thorndike Yamos wants to talk to you..."

Priest Theodore's face turned pale, and then he quickly squeezed out a stiff smile, wiped the sweat on his face with the silk silk in his hand, and walked quickly into the main hall.

"You guys help me carry the bronze mirror out of the warehouse. Be careful not to uncover the linen on the bronze mirror."

High Priest Reed stood on the steps at the door and ordered the three Roys.

After all, a priest died, and the Temple of Liberty sent a high priest to investigate. Sure enough, the atmosphere in the temple immediately became tense.

…

The warehouse was dark, with only four bronze mirrors leaning against the wall lighting a holy candle. The soft light was the only light in the warehouse.

Jasper and Abbott walked in front. They were much more familiar with this warehouse than Roy.

Roy followed the two of them and came to the bronze mirror...

Three people each moved a bronze mirror.

Through the linen wrapped around the bronze mirror, Roy could clearly hear a woman's voice inside muttering:

"Where do you want to move me..."

Roy didn't say anything, picked up the mirror and walked outside quickly.

"Why don't you lift this cloth? Don't you want to see me?"

Roy quickly closed his eyes, imagining that he was holding an LCD TV, and thought to himself: 'There's nothing strange about this, what's so strange about this? ’

Li ignored the voice in the bronze mirror and walked out of the warehouse quickly.

"Take off this piece of cloth and let me breathe! I'm being burned by a candle every day, and I'm almost dying of heat in the mirror."

Roy hugged the bronze mirror and followed Jasper.

When he saw Jasper responding to the bronze mirror, he put it directly at the door and reached out to lift the linen cloth on it.
