Path of Light.

Chapter 137 138. Exercises
It was another early morning, the sun was shining brightly, there were several flying fishing boats floating on the blue sea, and two large ships sailed into Castletown port one after the other.

In the past few days, Roy can always meet Sabrina in the morning, and the two take the long carriage to the Elf Academy together.

The long carriage stopped in front of the huge rock arch dug in front of the cliff avenue. At this time, dozens of carriages had already parked here, and many people were standing outside the carriage, looking at the cliff avenue.

There are many silver moon elves standing on the cliff avenue, and almost all of them line up on both sides of the avenue with flowers in their hands.

Almost all the elves were looking at a carriage that was slowly driving away in the distance. The carriage was covered with flowers, and a sarcophagus was placed between the flowers. Many Silver Moon elves surrounded the carriage. A carriage traveled on foot, accompanied by the priest of Thorndike from the Temple of the Moon.

Of course, Roy's long carriage can't see the scene above the cliff road.

Only some silver moon elves holding flowers and standing on the edge of the cliff avenue can be seen.

"Have you heard? Claire Latin is dead."

In the long carriage, elves were whispering.

The elf who didn't hear the news immediately asked in surprise:
"When did this happen?"

The elf who spoke earlier responded:

"Just the night before, the funeral was held this morning."

Then he said:
"I heard that many elves are planning to mourn Master Claire Latin at the entrance of the art gallery this morning. I didn't expect that the cliff road is so congested. Shall we go and see the excitement?"

"Let's forget it. If you dare to skip class, you won't be able to pass this class."

The companion hesitated for a moment before refusing.

……

Roy looked at the cliff above his head through the car window. He didn't expect this master artist to have such a great reputation in Castleton...

He had only heard his name mentioned by Ms. Belinda before, but Roy never thought how great this master engraver was.

For a while, Roy even thought of him as Ms. Belinda's boss.

As the assistant of Master Claire Latin, Ms. Belinda's job is not so easy.

Roy also often complained to Ms. Belinda, saying that she often worked overtime in this job, and she didn't even get overtime pay...

After hearing this, Ms. Belinda just smiled lightly.

……

Sabrina, who was sitting by the car window, was holding two textbooks in her arms. She looked out of the window curiously at the cliff and looked at the elves holding flowers.

Roy sat quietly aside. Priest Theodore has not returned to the Temple of Liberty so far, nor has he appeared in other places.

"Is there still a meeting in the temple today?"

Sabrina looked away, and asked in a low voice to Roy, who was distracted by her side.

"Yeah." Roy replied dully.

"Or will you distribute the holy water?"

Sabrina asked again.

"Ah."

Sabrina turned to look at Roy suspiciously, and found that he was staring at her white arm in a daze.

Next to her arm was a round ball wrapped in a dress. Sabrina gave Roy a blank look, not wanting to talk to him anymore...

After waiting for a while, even the streets behind were crowded with carriages, and the front began to pass.

The long carriage stopped at the gate of the Elven Academy.

Sabrina tugged at the hem of her skirt and got out of the carriage with her textbooks in her arms.

Roy followed her, just jumped out of the car, said goodbye to Sabrina, and walked into the gate of the Elf Academy alone.

Claire ran over from the other side of the corridor, and said to Roy with joy:
"Roy, you don't even know how popular I was yesterday. After I finished playing that song and walked out of No. [-] teaching building, the corridors were crowded with elves, and everyone was applauding for me..."

Of course Roy knew that he was also squeezed into the crowd, but he left before finishing listening.

"I heard it too, it's indeed a very good piece of music."

Roy walked into the academy along the path leading to the training ground.

"Of course, and half of the credit is also due to you..."

Claire caught up with Roy and said to him excitedly.

"What does it have to do with me?" Roy immediately said.

He didn't want to spread the word about it.

Because there are not many songs he can hum.

"It's obviously you..."

Claire didn't understand why Roy had to distance himself from the song.

Roy quickly interrupted him and said:

"Stop, I'm just repeating the sounds of nature, but your piece has nothing to do with me, and I don't understand music."

Claire stopped where she was, still wanting to chase Roy and have a good argument with him.

On the side of the road, there were a few silver moon elf girls with sweet smiles on their faces, walking in front of him very ladylike:

"Claire, hello, I'm Abis, I've heard the song you composed, can you tell me what the song is called?"

"The Blue Darne..."

Before Claire could move forward, another group of silver moon elves surrounded him.

"Hi, Claire, I heard that the music you wrote is great, would you like to come to our Red Hibiscus Music Club?"

The silver moon elves passing by are also whispering:

"Look, that's this year's freshman Wagner Claire. Not only does he fight well, but he also writes music very well."

There was even a very bright silver moon elf girl standing in front of Claire generously, and boldly asked:
"Hi Claire, are you free this weekend?"

Sweat dripped from Claire's forehead. He looked at Roy who was walking farther and farther in front of him, and quickly stretched out his hand, shouting loudly:

"Roy, wait for me."

With that said, he rushed out from the encirclement of the elves.

Only a group of silver moon elves were left who didn't know what to do.

……

In the afternoon, the Statue of Liberty.

Roy stood in the side hall wearing a set of trainee priest robes. In front of him was a silver plate containing some holy water rich in holy light.

And in the pool behind him, there is a pool full of holy water, which he obtained after injecting the holy light into the pool twice last night and this morning...

Looking at the pale golden light on the water, the believers waiting in line showed expectant smiles on their faces.

Roy first had to use the holy water in the basin to perform a soul purification ceremony for each believer, and then he could scoop out a cup of holy water from behind and distribute it to the believers in front.

After the choir work, Sabrina joined the line, waiting for Roy to distribute the holy water.

Roy needs to keep singing the holy prayer at this time, but the holy prayer he is familiar with is only two lines, and he can only mutter it back and forth repeatedly.

He purposely slurred his words, so that everyone could know that he was reciting a prayer anyway. As for what he was saying, there was no need for everyone to hear him clearly.

Sabrina was always at the bottom of the list every time. When he saw her, Roy knew that today's baptism was coming to an end.

Sabrina knelt and squatted down in front of Roy. Roy dipped a little holy water on his finger and wiped it on her fair forehead.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Roy, just in time to see Roy's eyes falling into her slightly open neckline. The choir robe that Sabrina changed into was a bit loose, and the neckline was also a big oval shape. It's actually quite empty...

She felt her cheeks getting hot.

Roy was a bit thick-skinned, and looked away calmly, but when scooping up the holy water, his hands trembled a little, and he almost poured the holy water out of the cup...

Sabrina wanted to splash a glass of holy water on Roy's face.

……

At night, before Moira and Roy started sparring, Sabrina came to the terrace of Roy's house in a vest and shorts, carrying a heavy wooden sword.

Roy stood up feeling guilty, and said to Moira, "Otherwise, I think we will..."

"I'll practice with you!"

Sabrina hardly gave Roy any chance to refuse, picked up the wooden sword with one hand, and put the blade of the wooden sword on Roy's shoulder.

Roy had no choice but to block Sabrina's heavy wooden sword with the wooden stick in his hand.

Sabrina took the opportunity to hold the sword with both hands, and the tip of the heavy wooden sword drew a circle in mid-air, and the blade changed an angle, and slashed towards Roy silently.

Roy found that his retreat was blocked by Sabrina, so he could only grit his teeth and use the wooden stick and round wooden shield in his hand to parry Sabrina's sword.

The heavy wooden sword was light in her hands, but when it hit Roy's wooden stick, it immediately knocked the wooden stick apart.

Roy's hand holding the wooden sword immediately became numb...

Obviously Sabrina was dressed very coolly, and when she held the sword in both hands, the waves would be choppy, and her thighs were dazzlingly white under the light of the terrace, but at this moment Roy couldn't be distracted to appreciate it at all.

His eyes were fixed on Sabrina's heavy wooden sword...

Sabrina's offensive was very simple, she stepped forward and cleaved, and the heavy wooden sword just slashed down, forcing Roy to raise his shield to parry.

She held the heavy wooden sword with both hands and slammed it on the round wooden shield, causing Roy to take two steps back uncontrollably.

The force from the heavy wooden sword made his arm numb.

After a practice session, Roy felt that his arm was going to be dislocated.

... Sabrina didn't stop until she was finally overwhelmed.

At this moment, even Sabrina was dripping with sweat. She never expected that Roy could resist so many cleaves in one go.

As long as Roy resists a few more times, Sabrina doesn't know how many more sword strikes she can make.

The good side of the log shield was almost full of dents, and not only the surrounding iron hoops were completely disengaged, even the fist-sized iron sheet in the center of the log shield was completely smashed off.

The heavy wooden sword in Sabrina's hand was even more scarred, and the middle blade had a large area of ​​damage.

Moira could also see that Sabrina just wanted to teach Roy a lesson.

After the practice, Sabrina took the heavy wooden sword and went home over the wall. At this time, Moira, who was hiding aside, came up and asked Roy secretly:
"Roy, how did you mess with Sabrina again?"

Roy hesitated a bit, he couldn't say that he was discovered by Sabrina when he was looking at the Mariana Trench.
