Path of Light.

Chapter 161 162. The Fourth Trial
Ms. Belinda pointed to the shelves with stones, and asked him with a half-smile:
"...Do you have any thoughts or suggestions?"

Roy went straight over to pick up a piece of sapphire the size of a fist, and took out a sketch drawn in charcoal. The drawing was beyond description...

It is to draw a circle inside the square, which makes Ms. Belinda frown.

Roy put the stone on the drawing, thought for a while, and then said to Ms. Belinda:
"Well, I think... just use this stone to carve a square, then cut off the eight corners of the square, and then hollow out the inside..."

He set his eyes on the blade of a carving knife, pointed to the blade and continued:
"Probably as thick as this."

"Is it empty in here?"

"In fact, there is a hollow ball inside that can't roll out. It's probably like this. It needs to be hollowed out, full of light-transmitting patterns..."

Ms. Belinda listened carefully and probably understood Roy's idea.

In general, although the ball that Roy asked to make is contained in the frame, the ball must be hidden in the cube and cannot be taken out.

In fact, it is the idea of ​​the most simplified version of Linglong Ball.

But this thing is indeed extremely novel in Ms. Belinda's eyes.

This thing is much more interesting than sculpting the head of a character, and it is still a delicate route.

The most important thing is to prevent Ms. Belinda from hiding in the studio, removing a large amount of stone with a chisel every day, not to mention making her body covered in stone powder, which is very hard work.

After listening to Roy's suggestion, Belinda took out the brush and drew a sketch on the back of the drawing paper again.

I don't know how late she went to bed.

When she got out of bed early in the morning, Belinda was lying on the big bed in the bedroom on the second floor, sleeping very soundly.

She was wrapped in a white sheet...

The sun shines through the glass, forming a spot of light, which shines on her back, which is as white as milk, dazzlingly bright...

……

On the fourth Sunday after returning from the Malaga jungle, for Roy, there was still no way to take a good rest.

He left home early in the morning, first ran to the temple to change into a suit of trainee priest robes, and then came to the intersection, and took a long carriage to the council of elders where the tree of life was located.

This time, the trial in the courtroom is: the gray dwarf Ralph and the blood elf Udulla.

Priest Reed and Jasper did not participate, and only Roy went alone.

When Roy got off the carriage, he saw a large group of elves gathered in the shade outside the Tree of Life.

After finally squeezing to the door of the Council of Elders, Roy walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Council of Elders with the invitation letter.

In the hall, Instructor Nora stood with several other instructors, and the water-type silver moon elf magician named Scarlett also stood among them, and several instructors were talking quietly.

Roy hurried forward to say hello.

Unexpectedly, it was the Silver Moon Elf magician who spoke first. She had smooth silver hair, and the magic crystal pendant on her chest was extremely eye-catching.

"Roy, are you still an apprentice priest at the Temple of Liberty?"

Scarlett seems to be very interested in Roy...

"Well, I work part-time in the Temple of Liberty." Roy replied.

Scarlett immediately hugged Instructor Nora, who was much stronger than her, and the magic robe on her body was squeezed and crumpled, so she said:

"I didn't expect there to be a trainee priest among your students. How about we go to the Ruins of Despair this holiday?"

Instructor Eleanor's complexion changed drastically, and she shouted:

"Go again? Have you forgotten how long the ghost holding the sickle ran out of the ruins and chased us..."

Scarlett said with some pride: "Our team has priests this time, are we still afraid of it?"

Instructor Eleanor said angrily: "He is just a trainee priest, don't expect too much from him..."

"A trainee priest... that is also a priest."

Scarlett said a little unconvinced.

……

There was a commotion at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of the parliament. Roy turned his head to look over, and found that the squadron leader Simpson had also come, and there were several elves patrolling behind him.

Roy hurried over and greeted Simpson Squadron Leader:
"Captain Simpson..."

Squadron leader Simpson was wearing silver armor, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

He pulled Roy to the corner of the hall on the first floor, and whispered to him:

"Roy, I've already consulted Princess Ophelia for instructions this time, so just say it in the next trial."

"Ah."

Obviously Simpson Squadron Leader doesn't want to leave any hidden dangers...

Everyone began to walk into the courtroom one after another. Roy became an important witness again this time, sitting at the bottom with Instructor Nora, Captain Simpson and others, the closest position to the gray dwarf Ralph and the blood elf Udura .

This time, because of the trial of Ralph and Udulla, the entire trial hall was almost full.

Roy raised his head and looked up, there were countless faces above his head...

The arbitrators not only wore black robes this time, but also wore headbands symbolizing rights on their heads. Some were inlaid with three gemstones, while others were inlaid with only one gemstone, which was extremely gorgeous.

The presiding judge appeared again, and Roy was no longer surprised when he saw the huge tree vine.

When the old elf passed by Roy, he actually took a deep look at Roy.

Then he came to Ralph and Udura.

The two of them were handcuffed and fettered, and there was a chain between their hands and feet.

Both were very depressed.

The gray dwarf Ralph showed his muscular upper body, only wearing a pair of shorts and barefoot.

His beard was curled up, and there were only a few inconspicuous scars on his body.

Mrs. Udulla was only wearing a linen tube skirt, her red hair was tied up messily, her head was lowered, her eyes were almost half closed.

The presiding judge came to Ralph, coughed slightly, and then said:

"Relph, let me tell you about the crimes you committed. I didn't expect to be able to complete your trial while I was alive. This is really a happy thing!"

"Hmph, what's there to show off, Castleton Port, I will stop at the pier every winter and summer!"

Ralph snorted coldly.

You can tell from the sound that this gray dwarf is extremely weak now...

The presiding judge ignored what he said, and held the wooden basket ticket to the sky above the court, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Ralph, in the summer of 1367, you led the pirates into the port of Castleton, plundered more than 100 elves, and killed 73 elves and injured 57 elves. When you left Castleton port, You also burned many facilities in the port."

"This is what I did."

Ralph the gray dwarf rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

Roy didn't expect that they had looted Castleton Harbor before, and burned it down completely before leaving.

The presiding judge added:
"In July this year, you commanded the Sea Wolf to dock at Castleton Harbor and robbed the priest of the Temple of Liberty. After the operation failed, you abandoned the ship and escaped."

"This was done by my subordinates. If it weren't for that idiot, I wouldn't be standing here today."

Ralph seemed a little agitated.

The presiding judge waved his hand to signal him to be quiet.

"In September of this year, that is, last week, you and Udulla returned to Castleton Harbor to try to take revenge on Princess Ophelia, but before you could take action, you were arrested and imprisoned... "

"I came back this time to take the Sea Wave away."

Ralph argued loudly again.

The presiding judge ignored Ralph the gray dwarf's protest at all, and turned around to report her crimes to Mrs. Udura. Mrs. Udura did not argue and accepted her trial in a silent manner.

Then came witnesses explaining the crimes committed by the duergar Ralph.

This time, the court actually found the half-blood elf who was victimized in Castleton Harbor 40 years ago.

Both Roy and Simpson Squadron Leader said that the gray dwarf Ralph was lurking in Castleton Harbor just to retaliate against Princess Ophelia, and the reasons and evidence were sufficient.

In addition, the gray dwarf Ralph was also a slave trader. Although he was selling a group of Naga Sea people, this also violated the laws of the elf kingdom.

Therefore, the arbitrators sentenced the two pirates very severely.

Captain Ralph, the gray dwarf, will be imprisoned in the island prison of Pallam for a sentence of 300 years.

Dwarfs have a lifespan of two hundred years, and under normal circumstances, gray dwarf Ralph has no chance to escape from prison in this life.

Lady Udulla, the blood elf, will go to an underground mine in the Evernight Forest to mine magic crystals until she dies of old age.

If there is no disease or disaster, Mrs. Udula will probably dig in the cave for at least two or three hundred years...

The silver moon elves have an almost paranoid hatred for the blood elves.

When the elves in Castleton learned that Ralph and Udulla were going to be tried, they waited outside the Tree of Life early on, and the outermost edge of the crowd extended to the Heroes' Square.

When the military escorted the two prisoners, the streets were crowded with elves watching.

Facts have proved that when facing Ralph and Udura, the Castleton elves have surprisingly consistent thoughts:
I just want to put them in prison and never get out in this life.
