Path of Light.

Chapter 162
Standing on the Heroes' Square, watching a carriage with two iron cages go away in the sound of "twisting"...

Thinking of the Black Pearl on the beach, he finally had no worries.

Roy felt a burst of relief all over.

Instructor Nora wants to have a simple lunch with his friends, and then go to the tavern.

Captain Simpson is preparing to return to the Seventh Knights.

Roy was going back to the temple, and he planned to go to the boat with Abt and Jasper to celebrate at night.

Roy originally wanted to ask Captain Ralph about the treasure map in the courthouse, but he gave up after thinking about it.

He could count on a prisoner who was about to be imprisoned in the island prison to tell the truth!
Abt is obsessed with the treasure hidden by Ralph the gray dwarf, and wants Roy to help persuade Jasper to take out the other half of the treasure map, but Jasper insists on his own idea and does not want Abt to go out and take risks too early.

Roy also felt that Abbott was a little too hasty, and this matter could be shelved for a while.

Ralph the gray dwarf will be sent to the island prison of Pallam...

In the next period of time, the pirate forces belonging to Ralph will become very chaotic, or a pirate leader will stand up again, or another group of pirates will swallow up all the forces in Ralph's sea.

Regardless of the result... the pirate group about the duergar Ralph needs to be reshuffled.

The reproductive ability of the gray dwarf is not generally strong. If it is said that the gray dwarf Ralph has few offspring, Roy will be the first to not believe it...

Roy, Jasper and Abt were definitely not the only ones who knew the secret of this treasure.

In fact, according to Jasper and Roy's thinking, the Black Pearl is the biggest treasure.

……

"Roy, are you going back to the temple this afternoon?"

Instructor Nora stood in front of a carriage and asked Roy who was about to wait for the long carriage.

Roy stood up straight and said 'yes' respectfully to Instructor Nora.

"Be careful along the way."

Instructor Nora gave Roy some advice, turned around and boarded the carriage.

The compartment of this carriage is very small, only two rows of double seats facing each other.There were already three instructors and the magician Scarlet sitting in it. Instructor Nora squeezed up and sat side by side with the magician Scarlet. There was no more room in the compartment...

The door was closed by Instructor Nora from the inside, and the coachman waved his whip to let the carriage merge into the traffic flow.

It may be that the trial has just ended, and there are many carriages driving away from the tree of life nearby, so the street looks very chaotic.

There was plenty of sunlight overhead, and Roy walked forward along the shade of the trees.

The carriage that Instructor Nora and his party took could only slow down the street.

Although Roy was walking, he actually fell not far behind.

The magician Scarlett complained in the carriage:

"Nora, why didn't you invite Roy to have a drink together? He will also be a member of our adventure group in the future. It's rare for everyone to get together to get to know each other!"

The voice of the Silver Moon Elf magician had a hint of softness.

"He is my student, so he can't sit with us in a tavern and get drunk, and in addition, Eleanor, Grew, and Virgil may all become his teachers in the future, we must always maintain the image of some instructors! "

"Have you noticed that he is actually quite handsome, with a human face that looks sharp..."

"Please, keep your voice down, he hasn't gone far, Scarlett, as a silver moon elf magician, you are so reserved!"

"What are you talking about...why can't I hear anything? Haha..."

Then came a series of silver bell-like laughter from the car window.

When the young instructors got together, there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.

……

Finally, a long carriage arrived.

Roy walked into the carriage, only to find that it was almost full of elves.

I paid a Kohler fare at the front, and walked back along the aisle.

The carriage was a little hot and stuffy, and I felt sweaty when I moved a little. When the carriage moved forward along the street, there was a cool breeze blowing in through the window.

Not long after, the long carriage stopped at the gate of the Adventure Union, and several elves got out of the carriage from the back door of the carriage.

An elf in a light gauze robe turned his head to look at Roy before stepping off the carriage.

Roy didn't notice anything wrong at first.

When the carriage began to move forward, Roy saw his back through the glass window, and felt that the way he was walking seemed familiar, but his side face was very strange.

It wasn't until the plaque of the Adventure Union had completely disappeared from Roy's sight that Roy slapped his forehead violently.

Finally, I realized that the back of that man was almost exactly the same as Magician Benjamin, and he also held a magic book in his hand. Although his face was different, his eyes...

Thinking of the elf just now, it is very likely that Benjamin the magician disguised himself.

Roy had an urge to chase him out.

It's a pity that the long-box carriage has gone too far, even if we rush back now, we probably won't be able to catch up.

……

Finally came to the intersection of Brown Street, Roy got off the carriage.

Stopping at the entrance of the temple, he saw Jasper sitting in the porter at the gate, clasping his hands together, silently reciting the holy prayer.

Roy walked over and stood at the door.

The scorching sun above scorched the concierge like a steamer, and Roy saw a large cup of holy water exuding a holy aura on the concierge's table.

After the Holy Grail of Wisdom is recovered, for the priests in the Temple of Liberty, the greatest convenience is that they can use the holy water casually.

Holy water contains a little power of holy light, if you drink it frequently, it will increase the recovery speed of the holy light of the priests.

Jasper opened his eyes and saw Roy standing in the porter's doorway.

Then he whispered to Roy: "Roy, I really think... In fact, the high priest should hire a janitor."

Roy threw him a pear, and Jasper took it firmly in his hand, took out another handkerchief, wiped it carefully, and then took a hard bite.

The weather was hot, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his cheeks were a little flushed.

"Or don't arrange a gatekeeper at all, there is nothing valuable in it anyway..."

Having said that... Jasper stopped hastily again.

He can't keep his mouth shut.

Sometimes when I think of it suddenly, I will stop the topic immediately.

Jasper added, "Roy, how's the trial going?"

"Fortunately, everything went well." Roy said, "I also heard that Captain Ralph plundered Castleton Harbor 40 years ago. He not only captured many elves, but also killed many of them. Before leaving, he set a fire on the port pier."

"So there was such a thing! I hadn't come to Castleton at that time."

Jasper counted with his fingers.

Roy whispered to Jasper: "Jasper, do you want to get together tonight? The three of us...you, me, Abbott!"

Jasper swallowed the pears in two mouthfuls, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "If you can invite Abbot over, of course I have no problem, but don't expect me to let him speak on his own initiative."

"I'll go talk to him!"

Roy agreed.

……

Abt sat at the round table and buried himself in his books, with a thick stack of charts piled up in front of him.

Roy knew that Abbott could always get a lot of nautical charts from the Castletown library recently, but he was shocked to see that he almost buried himself in the blueprints.

His eyes were red from the boil, and the round table was very messy.

He quarreled with Jasper again recently, but he still failed to get the half of the treasure map from Jasper.

Except for the gatherings and rotations that must be attended, Roy is usually in the temple, and Abt is hardly seen.

It's rare to see him in the study...

Roy calmly picked a magic book on the shelf. Recently, Roy began to learn more complicated divine patterns.

He sat opposite Abbott and said to Abbott:

"About, Captain Ralph, the original owner of the Black Pearl, was sentenced today. Don't worry about him suddenly running out to make trouble. Let's go tonight..."

Before Roy finished speaking, he was interrupted by Abbott.

"...Roy!"

His face was a little ugly.

"what happened?"

Roy was slightly taken aback.

Abbott raised his head, looked at Roy seriously, and asked him:
"I asked you to persuade Jasper, how are you doing?"

Roy hesitated for a moment, but said, "Both Jasper and I think this matter should be delayed..."

Abt stared round his eyes, stood up from the chair suddenly, and asked loudly:

"Even you don't support me?"

"About..."

Roy still wanted to explain, but saw Abbot picked up the thick stack of charts on the table, and slammed the door angrily.

No matter how Roy called him after chasing him, it couldn't make him turn back.

Roy stood at the door of the study room a little disappointed, watching Abbott quickly leave the backyard, he could only return to the study room silently.

……

In the evening, there were only Roy and Jasper at the party on the Black Pearl.

Roy cooked a grilled fish by himself in the kitchen of the ship building.

Jasper bought ale and orange juice, and the two sat on the bow quietly watching the sea and the sunset.

"Jasper, or give him the half chart!"

This is the second time Roy has mentioned this matter.

Jasper held up the wooden cup, took a big gulp of ale, and said to Roy:
"... Wait a few more days, I just want him to calm down."

As he spoke, he stood up abruptly from the bow of the boat, stepped on the bowed bronze figure with arms outstretched, and waved violently towards the distant sea.

Shouting loudly: "Hey, do you think my decision is right..."

At this time, the tide just happened to rise, and the waves pushed to the shore one after another, and there was a sound of 'wow...wow...wow'.

Roy silently ate the last bite of the grilled fish. He didn't expect that the two elves, Abt and Jasper, were so stubborn, neither of them would give in.

It made him uncomfortable being caught between the two of them.

According to Roy's thinking, even if he finds the location of the treasure for Abbott, he doesn't have the strength to go to sea, so he still has to wait for the opportunity...
