Path of Light.

Chapter 134 135. Whereabouts of the Holy Grail
"You two slandered the priests of the Temple of Liberty for no reason. As the great priest of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, I will judge you!"

As the high priest Reed swung the hammer of judgment, the silver moon elves who were watching screamed.

Immediately afterwards, Priest Reed walked up to the two of them and said:

"You two chased the priests of the Temple of Liberty for no reason. As the chief priest of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, I will punish you!"

As a divine pattern composed of holy light appeared in front of Priest Reed, the holy light and prayers dissipated at the same time...

Another hammer light fell on the two of them. Originally, the two priests of the Moon God Temple wanted to get up from the ground. These two hammer lights flashed by, and the two immediately screamed again and fell down on the viewing platform.

Grand Priest Reed looked at the outraged Silver Moon Elves around him, and remained unmoved, and then said loudly:

"You two persecuted the priests of the Temple of Liberty for no reason. As the great priest of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown, I will punish you!"

The two young priests were beaten so much that they vomited blood first, and then fell to the ground by the two Hammers of Holy Light. The third hammer light was much smaller and more delicate. The priest's head hovered, and finally knocked hard on his head.

The silver moon elves watching all around shrank their heads subconsciously, while the two young priests of the Moon God Temple simply lay straight on the stone floor, fainted to death.

Priest Reed put the 'Holy Prayer' in his hand into his magic pocket, bent down and grabbed the collar of a priest of the Moon God Temple, then turned his head to look at Roy who was stunned beside him, and ordered: "You What are you doing standing there, why don't you come over and help!"

"Oh, here we come!"

Roy ran up quickly, grabbed the arms of another priest of the Moon God Temple, and followed the method of the great priest Reed, dragging him to the front of a carriage.

High Priest Reed and Roy worked together to lift the two priests of the Temple of the Moon into the carriage, and then the half-breed elf who had been wearing a sun hat drove the carriage quickly away from the cliff avenue, heading all the way to the Temple of Liberty.

"His Majesty Mitchell signed a contract with the great sage of the Moon God Temple in the past about the two temples. Since the priests of the Moon God Temple took the initiative to attack us, we have a reason for this anyway."

"Although the Temple of the Moon God is the largest religion in the Elf Continent, now our Temple of Liberty is preparing to evacuate the entire line of the Elf Continent. The senior management of the Temple of the Moon God wants us to leave quietly. Roy, do you know what they are most worried about before we leave? ?”

Roy never thought about this, because he didn't even think about leaving the Elf Continent with the Holy War Legion of the Temple of Liberty and entering the Dark Land.

Now thinking about it casually, I said anxiously:

"Are they worried that we will tear down all the temples and turn them into ruins before we leave?"

Priest Reed shook his head slightly, indicating that it was not.

Roy thought about it again, and tentatively said:
"Are they worried that we will take away a large number of believers? The population of the elf world is not large..."

Priest Reed continued to shake his head, and then he didn't let Roy guess, but said directly:
"They are worried that we will bury countless seeds of holy light on this elf continent. Even if we leave, 500 years later, or even 1000 years... One day the holy light will shine on this continent again. The fire of the power of faith will ignite the entire elf continent."

"Now they wish we could go away quickly, why would they come to trouble us at this time..."

Priest Reed said that, for Roy, it meant that it was only a matter of time before the Temple of Liberty was evacuated from Castleton.

"Teacher, fortunately you can come in time..."

Roy was sitting in the carriage, with two priests of the Temple of the Moon on his feet.

Upon hearing what Roy said, Priest Reed immediately laughed and said:

"Haha, let me tell you another truth, that is, there are not so many coincidences happening in this world. The so-called coincidence... It's better to say that someone with a heart has made some preparations in advance."

"Teacher, do you mean that you have also made some preparations?" Roy asked High Priest Reed.

Priest Reed nodded, and then said:

"I know you only have a half-day course at the Elf Academy. This morning, the guards on Edward Street in the lower town invited me to preside over the funeral ceremony. After the ceremony, I want to take advantage of this convenience..." High Priest Reed pointed Pointing to the carriage, he continued: "Come to the Spirit Academy and return to the temple with you. When I came to the temple, I happened to see you boarding a carriage, so I had no choice but to ask the coachman to follow along."

Roy thought that he ran to the Samp leather shop in Heroes Square at noon, but he couldn't find the priest Reed who had been following him all the way.

"teacher……"

Roy was inevitably moved.

Priest Reed shook his head, and said to Roy: "You have to study hard and improve your strength as soon as possible, so that you can have the power to protect yourself."

Then, probably worried that Roy would be depressed, he encouraged him:

"Actually, you've done a pretty good job. At least the 'Blessing of Power' has been used very spiritually..."

The two talked almost all the way.

……

It wasn't until the carriage stopped at the gate of the Statue of Liberty that Priest Reed stopped encouraging Roy.

The two young priests of the Temple of the Moon were brought back to the Temple of Liberty by Priest Reed.

It was already afternoon at this time, and the two young priests woke up when they were in the carriage, but they just lay down in the carriage and pretended to be dead, as if they had been knocked apart by a hammer.

After the carriage stopped, the two young priests were driven out of the carriage by High Priest Reed.

Priest Reed pointed to a clean step in the vestibule, and asked the two of them to kneel in front of the Statue of Liberty by the pool in the courtyard.

（自由女神殿的等阶大致是这样排列：见习神官【不算等级】—神官【普通1-9】—大神官【一转10-19】—战斗神官/祭司【二转20-2】—光明圣堂武士/主教【三转30-39】。）
（月神殿的等阶则是：见习祭司【不算等级】—祭司【1-9】—大祭司【10-19】—长老【20-29】—贤者【30-39】。）
So the priests in the Temple of the Moon God are actually just ordinary priests in the Temple of Liberty.

Jasper and Abbott didn't expect that Priest Reed would bring back two priests from the Temple of the Moon after going out for a long time, and make them kneel in the courtyard...

Hearing that Roy said that in the past two days, he had been chased by the two priests of the Moon God Temple all over the city, so he gave up the idea of ​​interceding, but the two of them still gave the two priests of the Moon God Temple every once in a while. The priest sent a cup of cold water to save them from heatstroke in the sun.

Roy sat obediently in the study all afternoon studying magic,
Everyone waited for a whole afternoon, but they did not see the Temple of the Moon coming to the Temple of Liberty to look for anyone.

The two young priests were more unlucky. Under the white sun of the vicious sun, the cooked prawns on their faces and necks turned red, obviously because their skin was sunburned.

Fortunately, they still had water to drink. Until the sun went down, the two priests of the Moon God Temple were already sitting on the ground weakly, with their eyes closed without saying a word.

Roy was not in a hurry to go home, everyone was waiting for the Temple of the Moon God to come and take the two priests away...

It wasn't until a crescent moon appeared on the sea, and the heat of the day gradually dissipated under the sea breeze, that the three carriages with the emblem of the Temple of the Moon slowly stopped at the gate of the Statue of Liberty, and a group of moonlights jumped out of the carriages. Temple priests, they lined up in two rows at the gate of the Temple of Liberty.

The gate of the Temple of Liberty was pushed open by Jasper, and three priests came out of the crowd, one of whom was Priest Thorndike.

Priest Thorndike walked among the three, with a gloomy face and cold eyes. When he walked into the front courtyard, he saw two young priests sitting slumped in front of the Statue of Liberty. Injured, but Priest Thorndike strode up and kicked the shoulders of the two young priests hard.

With just two kicks, the two young priests were kicked to the ground.

It was probably the three carriages at the entrance of the Temple of Liberty, which attracted many half-blood elves passing by. Everyone stood obediently outside the courtyard of the Temple, peeking inside through the iron fence.

High Priest Reed came out of the main hall upon hearing Jasper's announcement.

He stood on the steps at the entrance of the main hall, looking across the pool at the three priests of the Moon God Temple in the yard.

"I am the priest of the Temple of the Moon God—Thorndike, Reed, you are detaining the priest of the Temple of the Moon God for no reason, are you trying to provoke a war between the two temples?"

Priest Reed took a few steps down the steps, and accused Priest Thorndike:

"Thorndike, I've heard your name before. You said 'the war between the two temples' from your mouth. Didn’t Elder Sherwood remind you recently to avoid friction with the Statue of Liberty as much as possible during this period?”

"It's not our fault. It's you two young priests who have troubled our trainee priests in the Temple of Liberty one after another."

"Speaking of it... I want to ask you the other way around. You arrested Roy on the street. May I ask what he did wrong?"

"...Or because he has been tracking down the whereabouts of the Holy Grail of Wisdom and caught your short feet?"

"If I want to write a letter to the Golfito headquarters, I will say that the priests from your Moon God Temple are obstructing this time..."

Priest Thorndike would not dare to openly discuss these secret matters with High Priest Reed in the yard again. This was expressly forbidden by Elder Sherwood. Thinking of the requests of Elder Sherwood of the Temple of the Moon God, the sweat on Priest Thorndike's forehead popped up again.

"That's enough, Reed, what exactly do you want?" Priest Thorndike's voice was dry and hysterical.

"Bring back the Holy Grail of Wisdom you took away, and you can take these two priests away." High Priest Reed pointed to the two young priests sitting in the yard and said coldly.

Priest Thorndike reminded Priest Reed: "They are the priests of the Temple of the Moon God!"

But Priest Reed said: "Based on the level of the Temple of Liberty, they can barely be called priests."
