Path of Light.

Chapter 135 136. The Death of the Master
"This time, I will definitely bring the two of them back to the Moon God Temple."

Priest Thorndike straightened his chest, stood in the vestibule of the Statue of Liberty, and said loudly to Priest Reed at the entrance of the main hall.

Priest Reed didn't even want to talk to Priest Thorndike, so he turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Priest Thorndike's complexion was extremely bad, he has always been extremely conceited, he has never encountered such a cold reception, and his heart is also filled with anger...

As the elf most likely to be promoted to high priest in the Moon God Temple in Castleton City, his status in the Moon God Temple is second only to the twelve high priests. He is one of Elder Sherwood's cronies, and he is also well-known in the Moon God Temple. ruthless role.

"You two stand up!" Priest Thorndike ordered the two young priests of the Moon Temple.

The two young Moon God Temple priests struggled to stand up from the ground, and looked at Priest Thorndike blankly.

But before the two of them took a step, a beam of holy light turned into a prison of light appeared around their bodies. Under their feet was a gorgeous golden divine pattern, with countless lines woven together, like patterns on the sun wheel. Ridges formed by holy light appeared on the edge of the divine pattern, and these ridges were pieced together to form a hexagonal cage of holy light.

The two priests of the Moon God Temple were bound in the cage of the holy light, and they couldn't even move for the next moment.

Priest Thorndike's eyes showed a hint of sternness, and then he stood in the vestibule and recited a spell. A crescent moon appeared above his head, just like the light and shadow refracted by the crescent moon on the sea, but the oppressive feeling was Very strong, as if the crescent moon in the night sky had fallen on the head of the priest of Thorndike.

Under the moonlight, the breath of the priest Thorndike became extremely strong.

He put one hand on his chest to form a mudra, and the other hand was raised above his head, as if he was catching the moonlight.

'lunar eclipse'

A beam of moonlight fell in the direction of Priest Thorndike's finger like a ray...

The light blue light beam fell on the holy light cage, and the golden feathers formed by the holy light suddenly flew all over the sky, but the holy light cage did not move at all.

Priest Thorndike recited the spell again, and the crescent moon above his head actually turned into two rounds.

At this moment, he pointed his finger at the holy light cage again, and the two moon lights fell at the same time, exploding on the holy light cage,

The light of the moonlight shot out, but the moonlight released by the priest of Thorndike couldn't break the prison of light at all.

Priest Reed stopped in his tracks. He stood at the door of the main hall, and his eyes fell on Priest Thorndike.

The two priests beside Priest Thorndike hurriedly propped up two light shields with nervous expressions.

In the next second, a divine pattern lit up in front of Priest Reed, and a Hammer of Holy Light smashed towards Priest Thorndike from a distance.

The two priests beside Priest Thorndike raised their light shields one after another, and stood up in front of Priest Thorndike. The moment the Holy Light Hammer fell, the light shield was smashed to pieces, and the two light shields were almost in no particular order. It shattered, and then the two priests of the Moon God Temple were also knocked to the ground by the Hammer of Holy Light.

Just as the Hammer of Holy Light was re-suspended in mid-air and was about to fall again, Priest Thorndike hurriedly raised his hand and shouted at Priest Reed:
"Reed, please wait!"

The Hammer of Light stopped in mid-air, but Priest Reed looked at Priest Thorndike coldly.

"I know where the Holy Grail is! You can take the Holy Grail of Wisdom with me, but I will take the two of them with me. When the time comes, I will hand over the Holy Grail to you, but you will also let them go..."

"Okay, that's a deal!" The priest Reed readily agreed.

He waved his hand, and the light prison in the center of the vestibule suddenly disappeared...

After seeing the light prison dissipate, countless feathers of holy light flew into the air, and the strong breath of holy light filled Priest Thorndike's heart with frustration.

Even the priests of the Moon God Temple on the side were dumbfounded. The original tall image of Priest Thorndike collapsed in their hearts...

The two are competing in divine arts. Although Priest Thorndike has the power of moonlight at night, the gap between the two ranks makes Priest Thorndike's moonlight divine arts almost completely crushed by the Holy Light. ...

In any case, Priest Thorndike finally took the two young priests out of the Temple of Liberty.

High Priest Reed boarded the carriage of the Moon God Temple. Roy and Jasper also wore the robes of the trainee priests and followed High Priest Reed to board the same carriage.

Abbott stayed on and was responsible for guarding the Statue of Liberty.

A group of priests from the Temple of the Moon God boarded the carriage one after another, and the three carriages left Brown Street quickly under the night.

……

Priest Thorndike sat opposite High Priest Reed with a very bad expression.

The carriage was a little bumpy, and when turning at the intersection, the outer wheels even left the ground...

The wheels ran over a puddle, and the muddy water splashed almost splashed onto the stone wall.

The carriage seemed a little dull, and Priest Thorndike finally took the initiative to speak:
"Although we didn't steal the Holy Grail, I do know where it is."

His eyes fell on Roy, and after hesitating for a moment, he said again:
"I know that you have investigated the half-blood elf thief, and I snatched the Holy Grail from that thief."

Roy's eyes lit up, and it turned out that he killed Peleus.

Priest Thorndike obviously did not realize his fault.

To kill a half-breed elf thief, for him, it may be to maintain order in the elf world.

That's why his expression is so calm...

Then continued:

"Afterwards, I sent the Holy Grail to Master Claire Latin. His lifespan has come to an end. It is because of the Holy Grail of Wisdom that the holy water is constantly repairing his body, so that his life can continue..."

A priest from the Temple of the Moon God was talking about the efficacy of holy water, while the audience on the opposite side was a group of priests from the Temple of Liberty. This scene was as weird as it could be.

And Roy also found that his previous guess was actually right.

Sure enough, the Holy Grail was hidden in Master Claire Latin's house as Bertha said, but he didn't see it when he came last time.

Priest Thorndike also realized that he couldn't say much about the Holy Grail, so he added:
"In fact, it is not only the holy water in the Holy Grail that maintains Master Claire Latin's life, but also the life sap and moonlight retrospective technique."

Priest Thorndike's remarks made Priest Reed also say:
"The Temple of Liberty in Castletown will be the last group to evacuate from the Elf Continent. The Holy Grail of each temple is an indispensable war resource for holy wars. You stole it..."

Priest Thorndike quickly interrupted the words of High Priest Reed, and reiterated:
"I got it from a thief, not from your temple, High Priest Reed, please pay attention to what you said, and I didn't take it as my own, but put it in my possession The master of elf sculpture who needs it, let it play its due value."

"Alright." Priest Reed nodded.

Now that I have the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, I don't care about those.

In the end, Priest Reed couldn't help complaining to Priest Thorndike:
"...I have to say, you priests of the Moon God Temple under the moonlight really have a dark heart..."

Priest Thorndike's face turned pale with anger, and he didn't want to say anything more.

From Roy's point of view, he may be worried that if he speaks too much, he will lose his words...

The carriage of the Moon God Temple was driving all the way to the upper city, and the carriage was completely silent.

Everyone is thinking about something.

The carriage stopped in front of a tree house, which happened to be the tree house where Roy visited Master Claire Latin last time.

The carriage of the Moon God Temple directly pulled everyone to the residence of Master Claire Latin.

……

Thorndike led a group of people out of the carriage, came to the door of the tree house, and knocked lightly on the door.

It didn't take long for footsteps to be heard from inside the door, and the Silver Moon Elf, who claimed to be a student of Master Claire Latin, pushed open the door and appeared in front of Roy again.

When he saw Priest Thorndike, there was a trace of surprise in his sad eyes, and he asked strangely:
"Priest Thorndike, why are you here? I just sent someone to invite you."

Priest Thorndike pointed to the great priest Reed beside him, coughed twice in a row, and said embarrassingly:
"This is Priest Reed from the Temple of Liberty. This time, Priest Reed and I came here to take away the Holy Grail of Wisdom placed here."

The Silver Moon Elf was even more surprised, and asked:
"The Holy Grail of Wisdom? Didn't you let Priest Theodore take it?"

After speaking, he asked everyone to walk into the tree house. When he saw Roy, his gaze stayed on Roy for a while.

Priest Thorndike quickly asked, "When did it happen?"

"Just about three quarters of an hour ago." The Silver Moon Elf replied casually.

Priest Thorndike raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly:
"How is it possible, I haven't seen Priest Theodore at all today... Besides, even if Priest Theodore wanted to take the Holy Grail, you shouldn't simply let him take the Holy Grail away, didn't I say... Does Master Claire Latin need this Holy Grail to rejuvenate the body?"

The group of people had reached the second-floor hall of the tree house at this time, and saw a sarcophagus parked in the hall, surrounded by various flowers and ivy branches.

The walls of the sarcophagus are covered with exquisite reliefs, and the thin body of Master Claire Latin lay quietly in the sarcophagus.

A group of elf servants were moving the flower trays from all over to the hall on the first floor, forming a sea of ​​flowers.

The Silver Moon Elf said to the group in a deep voice:

"The teacher stopped breathing in the evening, and then his body quickly failed, and he didn't even have time to drink the last glass of life sap. At that time, Priest Theodore happened to be there. According to our agreement with Priest Theodore, we will Return the Holy Grail of Wisdom to him in advance."

Following High Priest Reed to the front of Master Claire Latin, Roy saw the body of Master Claire Latin lying in the sarcophagus.

He seemed to be liberated at this moment, like a sleeping baby, curled up, and there was no longer any painful expression on his face.

Only then did Priest Reed, Roy, and Jasper know that Priest Theodore was aware of the whole matter.

He knew that the Holy Grail had fallen into the hands of the nobles of the Silvermoon Elf, and he had been trying to get it back.

Perhaps when his group arrived at Master Claire Latin's house, Priest Theodore had already returned to the Statue of Liberty holding the Holy Grail.
