Path of Light.

Chapter 126 127. Judgment
After Roy sent Sabrina away, he returned to Ms. Belinda's room.

Ms. Belinda was lying on the bed with the quilt wrapped around her body, and her long hair was scattered on the bed.

Roy helped her untie the long skirt with the corset a little bit, took off the outer skirt, and it would feel much more comfortable to sleep on the bed wearing only a nightgown.

Seeing that Ms. Belinda showed no sign of waking up, Roy helped her cover her with a thin quilt.

He prepared a large glass of honey water for her and placed it on the bedside table, and drew the curtains.

Then he walked down the second floor gently.

After returning to the living room, Roy wrapped the lizard's claws in oiled paper, and planned to find a reliable leather shop on the commercial street after the trial tomorrow.

He plans to customize a set of heavy leather armor, and then make a pair of gloves with lizard claws.

Next time there is an outdoor practice class, you can wear a leather armor, and it should be easier.

After digging out the magic crystal that Earl Amelia gave him, and watching the elf war dance in it again, Roy didn't have any clue, and didn't know how to learn it at all.

……

It was very early in the morning, Roy got up from bed early, and first prepared a little breakfast in the kitchen.

The door to Ms. Belinda's room was still tightly closed, as if she was still drunk.

After getting dressed, Roy ran out of the house.

He crossed the stone bridge over the Darne River and ran all the way to the seawall drain.

When Roy jumped on the boulder again and came to the crevice next to the drainage ditch, he found that there was no trace of living here.

Even the stone bed built by Roy has been completely removed, and the banana leaves that were spread on the stone bed are gone.

It seems that the dark moon elf Xavier has left.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave the rocky area. Before leaving, he found a simple line of elven writing clearly written in elven language on a large rock near the drainage ditch:

'I am leaving'

The boulder was covered with moss.

The handwriting was written on the moss-covered stone, and some scratches were still very clear, obviously written by Xavier.

Roy jumped onto the seawall and jogged along it to the intersection.

There were no pedestrians at the intersection, only the night saber raised by Mrs. Windsor, the proprietress of the pharmacy, peeked out through the low wall of bushes.

Roy waited for a long time before a long carriage stopped at the intersection.

He jumped into the carriage of the long carriage, paid 1 Kohler to the coachman, and sat down in a random seat, and the scenery outside the window began to change.

In the morning, the street market in the lower city was already very lively, but when the long-drawn carriage entered the upper city through the cliff, I found that the whole upper city was very quiet. Beautiful scenery of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Many Silvermoon elves don't have the habit of getting up early. They often open the bedroom window to see the midday sun...

The long carriage drove all the way to the tree of life on the north side of the Heroes Square, and Roy came out of the long carriage. There were already many elves waiting here, not only the silver moon elves, but also some half-blood elves.

Roy saw some teachers from the Elf Academy, as well as some abducted Silver Moon Elf students in the academy, and there were some relatives and friends beside them.

Everyone is waiting patiently at the steps under the tree of life...

The topic of exchange is also the news of this trial.

Claire saw Roy coming out of the carriage, hurried out of the crowd, and waved at him vigorously.

Roy walked up to Claire and asked him with a smile, "Claire, how are you doing with your homework?"

"It's all ready, do you want to listen to "The Blue Darne River"?" Claire was wearing the gorgeous dress that the silver moon elves often wear, and even her hair was combed meticulously, standing opposite Roy and said proudly.

Roy said: "Of course I have to listen to it when I have the chance."

"Do you have any plans for today?" Claire asked Roy.

Roy patted the satchel and replied, "I'm going to go to the leather shop and want to know how much it costs to customize a set of heavy leather armor."

Clare beamed and said, "Do you want to go to my house and listen to the piece I played? You don't even know... I tried to play twice at home, and everyone's reactions were so exaggerated that someone could tell that I was playing river water." the sound of."

Roy pouted, and refused without hesitation: "I think it's better to forget it..."

Instructor Nora walked out of a group of elf teachers and came straight to Roy and Claire.

Instructor Nora had made a great contribution to the capture of these vile slave traders this time, and it was precisely because of the presence of Instructor Nora that the Spirit Academy was able to save a little bit of face.

At least it can appease some of the dissatisfaction of the Silvermoon elves in Castleton City.

When Roy and Claire saw Instructor Nora in leather armor approaching, they immediately stood up straight and saluted Instructor Nora.

Both of them are students of Instructor Nora, saluting is the most basic etiquette for Instructor Nora.

"You are here too. Fortunately, because of your keen insight, we found something in that raid. The group of slave traders really fled along the secret road in the forest, all the way towards the hunting ground." Nora The instructor said without hesitation.

Roy and Claire looked at each other, and Claire understood Roy's thoughts, and quickly smiled and whispered:
"I'm afraid this has nothing to do with the two of us, this is what you thought of, Instructor Nora..."

……

A group of elf guards appeared on the steps of the tree of life...

The root of the tree of life is almost like a small soil bag. The elves built winding and exquisite steps along the root of the tree of life, leading to the trunk of this giant tree whose crown covers an area of ​​one acre.

Like other tree houses, the Silvermoon elves built a wooden door on the trunk of the Tree of Life.

After the elf guards pushed open the gate carved with flowers, plants and trees, the silver moon elves waiting at the bottom of the steps walked towards the gate of the tree of life.

This is the seat of the Elder Council of the Silver Moon Elf.

Walking into the tree of life, there is still an unbelievably large space. The clean reception hall is almost an empty semi-circular space, and there is a passage composed of three steps behind it.

This is the hall on the first floor of the Council of Elven Elders in Castletown. In addition to the elf guards at the door, there are three silver moon female elves standing behind the half-moon-shaped front desk in the reception hall. They actively lead a group of people to the leftmost Step access.

Roy came here for the first time, he followed Claire obediently, and it didn't take long to enter a conference room full of stepped seats.

This kind of lecture hall is very different from the lecture hall. The lecture hall is just a fan-shaped building with a small angle, but this place looks like an inverted cone. After everyone sits down, they focus on the interrogation platform below, which will give people Very strong sense of oppression.

The decoration inside the trial hall is very simple, but the carvings everywhere are inseparable from the characteristics of the tree of life.

Roy and Claire found seats in the back row and sat down. Unexpectedly, the receptionist of the silver moon elf asked Roy and Claire to sit on the witness stand in front, which was almost the seat closest to the trial platform.

To Roy and Claire's relief, Instructor Nora was also sitting here.

After waiting for a group of Silver Moon Elves to enter the court one after another, there were buzzing noises all around...

Roy and Claire were also talking in low voices.

'Boom dong dong'

There was a heavy knocking sound above the head, and the next moment, the voices in the trial room immediately quieted down.

An elderly silvermoon elf, wearing a gorgeous noble robe, sat in a hanging basket made of woven branches, supported by a tree vine hanging from the ceiling.

The wooden basket woven with branches looked like a desk covered with green leaves, and the old elf sat firmly on the chair.

A tree vine supports the hanging basket, and it can move freely within the space of the court, like an extra-long arm...

The old elf appeared above everyone's heads, and all the elves focused their attention on him.

He slowly hovered in the center of the trial hall, and said to the silver moon elves around him: "Everyone be quiet, the trial of the slave trader on the Kumquat begins now!"

His voice is old and full of majesty...

"Next, I announce that all the slave traders of the Kumquat will be brought to the court. Due to the large number of people, we can only try ten people at a time. Please be patient..."

……

Roy, who was sitting in the front row of the stepped seats, learned the details of the trial after Claire's soft introduction...

Silvermoon elves rarely received the death penalty, and the slave traders on the Kumquat had a high probability of becoming prisoners in the elf prison after undergoing this trial.

Of course, the prisoners will not be allowed to eat for free in the elf prison, and many drudgery such as mining and digging tunnels will become their daily work.

The ship, known as the Kumquat, has now been towed back to Castleton port.

However, it did not dock at the port pier. Because the ship was intact, it would be sent to St. Margaret's Port in the Dark Moon Kingdom.

The 130 crew members who were captured, including the captain, would be sent to St. Margaret Port after the trial, and then go to a mine prison of the Dark Moon Elf.

This time the No.17 Silver Pegasus Corps of the Silver Moon Elf conquered the Kumquat. Since there was no captain on board the ship, after more than 70 crew members were killed in battle, the rest of the crew were forced to surrender. Of course, some crew members jumped into the sea to escape. not included in the statistics.

However, the chances of these crew members surviving are very slim, because the Silver Pegasus elven warriors searched the nearby waters for nearly ten days.

These silver Pegasus elf warriors will not bring the living crew back from the sea...

Roy didn't expect that there were so many crew members on the big ship. He was whispering to Claire when he saw a row of crew members with heavy shackles walking into the judgment platform below.
