Path of Light.

Chapter 146 147. Contradiction
A lot of times, that's it...

The more you worry about things, the more often they will appear. What Roy is most worried about is that Benjamin, the magician who escaped from the Kumquat ship, sneaked back to Castletown.

A magician lurking in the dark is still very dangerous.

It's a pity that Roy ran out of the magic shop, and there was no sign of Wizard Benjamin anymore.

Claire chased out from behind and asked, "Roy, who did you see?"

"The only magician among the group of slave traders."

Roy looked away, sighed, and said to Claire.

"How dare he return to Castletown?"

Claire was taken aback.

You know, if the magician Benjamin wants to launch revenge, then Claire and Roy will be the first choice.

After all, the two of them were the first to discover this group of slave traders, and then Roy issued a warning, which attracted the elf warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion, which directly led to the destruction of the entire Kumquat army.

Benjamin Wizard appears in Castletown...

Obviously, it was to get revenge on Roy, Claire, and the students of the Elven Academy.

It's a pity that the whereabouts of Magician Benjamin could not be found, Roy secretly sighed.

Claire couldn't buy the sacred hanger, so she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He still has two classes in the afternoon, so he ended the purchase early...

……

Worried about Wizard Benjamin's retaliation, Roy also went to the guard team on the east side of the Elf Academy at noon, and told the guards' elf patrols the news that the magician Benjamin had appeared in the back street of the academy.

Last week, the court just sentenced the group of slave traders on the Kumquat, and this week, one slipped through the net and sneaked into Castletown.

The elf patrols of the guards took this information very seriously, and immediately organized five patrol teams to conduct patrols around the elf academy and the magic block.

In fact, Benjamin the Wizard is easy to identify.

In Upper Castletown, there are hardly any humans to be seen.

Occasionally a human face appeared on the street, and it was easy to track down his whereabouts.

Roy then returned to the Temple of Liberty.

Now everything is on track in the Temple of Liberty, and the Holy Grail of Wisdom has returned to Priest Reed...

The only regret is that Priest Andison is gone, and Priest Theodore is going to prison to serve his sentence. Now the Temple of Liberty is only supported by Priest Reed.

Roy, Jasper, and Abbott could only serve as assistants, helping Priest Reed do a little bit.

When passing by the gate of the temple, Roy saw Abbott holding the album in the gatehouse, carefully searching for the hand-painted maps in the album.

Roy found that Abbott was living at the concierge's side, and the small square table in the concierge was covered with various atlases.

"Hi Abbott, good afternoon."

When Roy passed the courtyard gate, he took the initiative to say hello to Abbott.

Abbot raised his head and glanced outside.

Finding that only Roy was standing outside, he poked his head out from the porter room, frowned, and said dully:

"Roy, you're back!"

Seeing that Abbott was in a bad mood, Roy put his hands on the porter's window and asked curiously:

"About...what's the matter with you?"

"Forget it, it's nothing!" Abt actually wanted to spit it out, but he immediately shut up when he thought that Roy and Jasper had a better relationship.

Roy guessed that Abbott might want to make himself a substitute, but he was too embarrassed to speak, so he took the initiative to lean over and asked in a low voice:
"Do you need me to work half a day for you?"

Abbott quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, the library I just went to yesterday, I don't need it in the past few days, and I'm sitting here, it's actually pretty good."

After speaking, Abt pointed to the messy albums on the desktop.

"Oh..." Roy agreed, and then said:

"We can't be impatient about finding the treasure. We have plenty of time before I learn how to sail..."

After speaking, he patted Abbott on the shoulder, and then Roy walked back to the backyard.

……

It wasn't until Roy saw Jasper sitting by the well alone with a dull expression on his face that he leaned over and asked:

"Jasper, do you want to help?"

"No need!" Jasper subconsciously blurted out, raised his head to look at Roy, and said to him, "Roy..."

Calling out Roy's name, Jasper stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Roy was a little strange...

Both Jasper and Abbott were a little out of sorts today.

Roy simply sat by the well...

Jasper said a little depressed:
"About borrowed half of the treasure map from me this morning, but I refused, and the two of us had a bit of a fight."

"I just came from the vestibule, no wonder Abbott is not in a good mood." Roy suddenly... It turned out that the two had a conflict.

Roy knew that Jasper had always been against Abbott devoting all his energy to the treasure map.

In Jasper's view, this treasure map is more like a topic that the three of them can chat about casually when they are bored.

But Abt thinks that the pirate treasure is more important. If he can get this pirate treasure, then many of his dreams will come true.

Therefore, Abbott has been looking for various charts.

Roy said to Jasper: "Actually, let me tell you that the sea area on that treasure map is very small, and it doesn't belong to any islands near the Elf Continent, so it's not easy to find out where this treasure map is!"

"You can definitely give him the half of the treasure map in your hand. It won't take long before he might lose interest!"

Roy suggested.

Jasper shook his head without hesitation to express his refusal, and said:
"He's a bit obsessed, I have to wake him up, don't keep wishful thinking..."

The two held their own opinions, and it seemed that there was a conflict for a while... It seemed that there was no way to resolve it.

Jasper put the bucket aside and followed Roy to the study room to learn magic.

Only Abt, who was guarding the gatehouse, was tirelessly reading books related to geography.

……

The two were sitting in the study room, and Roy continued to learn the purification technique. In fact, he wanted to ask Priest Reed if he could learn the 'Hammer of Judgment' now...

After all, the magician Benjamin appeared in Castletown, and Roy still needed to do some precautions.

Jasper saw Roy start to recite the prayer, put down the book in his hand, sat across the round table, and said to Roy:
"Roy, I heard that the half-blood elves mentioned Priest Thorndike, and nine out of ten he killed Peleus that day, but there is no evidence now."

Roy asked with some doubts: "Hasn't Priest Theodore finished his trial? Why are you still talking about this..."
