Path of Light.

Chapter 129 130. Between the Temples
The half-blood elves in the market automatically moved out of the way, and everyone watched Roy leave silently.

It was as if the Statue of Liberty had quietly left the Elf Continent, and the half-blood elves had only gradually left the Temple of Liberty. No one tried to stand up to keep them, or do something else, as if they didn't belong here in the first place.

Even for a period of time, the priests of the Temple of Liberty have helped countless residents of the Lower City.

Even in several rallies last month, Roy was holding a silver spoon to distribute holy water to believers.

But what everyone can do now is to stand in the crowd and watch Roy silently, and leave the lower city under the pressure of the three priests of the Moon God Temple...

No one will resist for this, and no one will stay because of it.

Roy walked in the street market, holding a ball of holy light tightly in his palm, and the holy light spread out through the gaps in his fingers.

This light easily fell into the eyes of the half-blood elves on both sides of the street, but it was difficult to shoot into their already numb hearts.

Roy didn't give any explanation, turned around and walked down the market.

Even if a long carriage passed by along the road, Roy didn't stand on the side of the road and call for a stop. Now he suddenly discovered that the theft of the Holy Grail ended up pointing to the Temple of the Moon God.

This is really unexpected anyway!
If it wasn't for this incident, the priests of the Moon God Temple would never have found him anyway. They disdain to contact any half-blood elves, including half-elves.

Standing on the streets of downtown, you can see the roof of the Statue of Liberty, but it takes a long way to walk.

This is how Roy walked back step by step.

Along the way, there was no obstruction from the priests of the Moon God Temple.

Abt, who was on duty at the gate, saw Roy walking into the gate dejectedly, and immediately poked his head out and asked:
"Roy, why are you listless? Could it be that things are not going well at the court?"

Roy didn't stop, and responded weakly:
"Everything is alright, Abbott, where is High Priest Reed?"

Abbott immediately said, "I am praying in the main hall."

Roy waved his hand behind him, then passed through the Statue of Liberty by the pool and walked towards the steps of the main hall.

Climbing up the steps and coming to the entrance of the Temple of Liberty, Roy looked up at the statue at the entrance of the temple. His Majesty Mitchell, who was holding a scepter and a holy prayer, was staring at Roy very solemnly, which made Roy a little With a little spirit.

He pushed open the door of the temple and walked in along the middle passage.

Priest Reed is kneeling in front of the statue of Liberty, silently praying to the goddess, knowing that he will not get any response, but this is the homework that Priest Reed must do every morning and night.

Roy did not knelt down to pray with Priest Reed, because he discovered that his power of holy light was not actually bestowed by the Statue of Liberty, but obtained from the magical holy seed in his body. Accumulated bit by bit.

In the past two days, he faced a breakthrough again.

Abt and Jasper both told him about their promotion experience. The two half-blood elves basically only advance to the first level in about half a year, but in just two months, he is about to become The five-level trainee priest, this speed of advancement, even when the holy splendor of the Statue of Liberty was flooding the elf continent, the two of them didn't feel this way.

All Roy prayed occasionally, but he never prayed to the Statue of Liberty.

Priest Reed recited all the prayers silently in his heart, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that Roy had been waiting for him behind him for an unknown amount of time.

He stood up from the ground, then turned around slowly, saw that Roy's face was full of entanglements, he walked up to Roy, stretched out his hand to press his head, and asked gently:
"What's the matter, Roy, what troubles did you encounter?"

Roy sat on the bench in the front row...

The setting sun shone on the dome of the temple, causing the multicolored glass pieces of the high windows to reflect beautiful and colorful light patterns in the main hall.

Roy raised his head depressingly, and said to Priest Reed:
"Teacher, I don't know whether I should say something or not. Originally, I wanted to keep it secret, investigate it secretly, and announce it when the evidence is sufficient, but now many things are getting worse..."

Priest Reed sat beside Roy, put his arms around his shoulders, and comforted him:

"What kind of trouble did you encounter? Maybe I can give you some advice. Don't worry, I'm definitely the kind of listener who doesn't like talking too much."

Roy bit his lip and struggled for a moment before raising his head and saying to Priest Reed:

"Teacher, do you still remember what you said to me when I first entered the Temple of Liberty?"

"..."

In fact, Priest Reed really forgot what he had said.

Roy went on to say:

"You said to me 'Roy, if you have enough spare time, I would like to ask you to help me investigate something. I think you have probably heard that the holy grail in front of the holy water pool in the temple was lost a few days ago , I haven’t been able to find it in the past few days. If you find any clues in the Elf Academy, you can tell me in private.’”

Priest Reed nodded and admitted that he did say those words at the time. At that time, the Holy Grail had just been stolen, and the three priests were looking for the Holy Grail everywhere.

Roy said with some shame:
"Teacher, I actually knew some news at that time, because I just passed the entrance of the temple that morning, and I saw a half-blood elf sneaking over the courtyard wall, and fell into the rose bushes outside the courtyard."

"Actually, I want to inquire in private whether he took the Holy Grail."

"Later, I found out that this half-breed elf was called Peleus, and he was subordinate to Jefferson, the dark moon elf..."

Roy talked about the cause and effect of the incident in detail, including the death of Jefferson, the death of Peleus' sister and so on.

This matter is still a bit convoluted, and then I mentioned that the students of the half-blood elves saw the figure of the priest of the Moon Temple at the scene of Peleus' death...

Priest Reed's expression became more and more serious.

Roy then talked about what happened today:
"That's the truth. Until today, I asked those crew members in the courtroom whether they killed Peleus. They didn't admit that they killed Peleus, but a priest of the Moon God Temple in the arbitration committee , secretly staring at me... Later, when I passed by the lower city, three priests from the Moon God Temple suddenly appeared and wanted to arrest me."

Priest Reed lowered his gaze and asked Roy, "So what's your conclusion?"

"I think the loss of the Holy Grail, the last signs point to the priest Thorndike of the Temple of the Moon God." Roy said.

"Understood, I will write a letter to the high priest and report to him everything that happened here." The high priest Reed sighed softly, and then said: "I think the Moon God Temple may have hoped to give us Make some trouble, but definitely not now..."

Priest Reed's eyes brightened, and he hugged Roy's shoulder and whispered:
"The Temple of Liberty is now being evacuated from the Elf Continent on a large scale. No one wants to cause trouble at this time. It is estimated that the Temple of the Moon God is the one who does not want to cause trouble. So at this time, we will report the situation here to the Golfito headquarters. , there will be a response soon."

Seeing that Roy's mood still didn't improve, Priest Reed comforted him again:

"Roy, don't worry about your safety. Bishop Felix Mitchell got the promise from the Elf King himself to allow the priests of our Temple of Liberty to spread the Holy Light on the Elf Continent. No race is more willing than the Silver Moon Elves If we keep our promise, the title of heretics will never be accrued to us.”

Then he paused for a moment before saying softly:
"...Actually, you have encountered so many things, you should have told us earlier."

"Got it, teacher!"

Hearing the words of Priest Reed, Roy felt much more relaxed. He stood up suddenly, and walked outside the main hall without any explanation...

Priest Reed saw his eyes were piercing, and he looked like a high-spirited fighter, so he asked:
"Roy, where are you going?"

At this time, Roy has quickly pushed open the door of the main hall, turned his head and said to Priest Reed:
"Teacher, I'm going to visit the guards at the pier!"

……

The Guard of Castletown Harbor was at one time the most relaxed of all the Elven Guards.

Although there are occasional fights and fights on the port pier, as long as the elf patrols appear, all problems will quickly subside...

And those foreign ships on the pier rarely cause trouble.

Of course, once trouble is caused, it will be a big event.

Watching Roy come in from the outside with the curtain lifted, the Elf Patrol said helplessly:
"Why are you here again? Can't you be quiet for a few days?"

"I want to report the Priest Thorndike of the Temple of the Moon. He and other priests arrested the trainee priests of the Temple of Liberty for no reason." Roy said to the elf patrol.

The elf patrol rolled his eyes to look at Roy, and asked him, "Who did the priest of Thorndike catch?"

Roy patted his chest in righteous indignation, and said loudly: "Me! He accused me of being a heretic in the street. As a trainee priest of the Temple of Liberty, I do not accept such accusations! He is planning to provoke a conflict between the Temple of the Moon and the Temple of Liberty. I protest and condemn his actions!"

The elf patrol stared at Roy like a monster, and said speechlessly:
"Hey, Roy, you also know that I am not a council of elders, how could I have the power to manage the affairs of the priests of the Moon God Temple."

Roy's expression was a little exaggerated, he slapped the front desk, and said unceremoniously:

"But this is already a conflict between religions. Didn't you see that they tried to arrest me, and the priests of the Moon God Temple wanted to take me back to the Moon God Temple directly on the premise that I did not make any mistakes. And in the morning, I attended the trial in the court as a witness."

The elf patrol stared at Roy's mouth, and wanted to cover him with his hand to calm him down.

"Okay, I get it! I'll report this to my boss."

The Elf patrol replied helplessly.
