Path of Light.

Chapter 188 189. Storm
Claire stopped and turned to look at Roy, waiting for him to continue.

Roy stared at the copper textbook held in the hands of the Silver Moon Elf girl, and said with straight eyes:
"I want to buy a magic book. There are several kinds of magic spells engraved on the pages of the book. The copper pattern cover must also be thicker. It is not only a holy prayer book, but also can be used as a shield."

"..."

Following Roy's gaze, Claire saw the two elf girls in front quickly disappear behind the bush wall...

He looked back and said to Roy:
"Roy, do you know how much is a magic book that can record magic skills? A magical magic book requires at least 200 magic crystals."

Roy was taken aback: "So expensive?"

Claire took Roy's shoulders and explained to him:

"Of course, there are many magic skins that can be engraved with magic circles. The most common ones are low-level magic skins that make magic scrolls, but this kind of magic skin can only be used once. Once the magic on the scroll is activated, the entire magic scroll It will also be destroyed. But the magic skin that can be used to make the magic book needs to be able to withstand the power of the engraved magic so that it will not be burned when casting the spell. This kind of magic skin needs to come from at least level [-] or higher monsters."

There are only [-] magic spar left in Roy's magic pocket. According to Claire, the magic spar in his hand probably can't even buy a page of a magic book.

"Okay, I'll go to the forging workshop first to see if there is a shield that suits me."

Claire smiled triumphantly and said:

"If you have this time, you might as well listen to my performance of 'Berness'. I found that the melody is more infectious after changing the score to be played by the violin..."

"Hey, hey! Roy, don't go so fast..."

……

After two classes in the morning, Roy left the Elf Academy quickly. He wanted to go to the Magic Union to meet Sorcerer Scarlett, and also to see if there were shields at the right price in the magic store.

Ordinary shields can be bought in blacksmiths, but shields with magic resistance can only be bought in the magic shop in the hall on the first floor of the magic union.

And anything, once it has something to do with magic, the price will increase exponentially.

Roy strode into the inscription workshop and asked an elf waitress at the front desk, "Is Wizard Scarlett there?"

"Yes, please follow me!"

The elf waitress came out from the front desk and led the way for Roy...

Going upstairs, Roy waited for a while at the door of the magic laboratory, and came from the laboratory:

'Come in! '

Roy pushed the door open and walked in.

There was a shoulder armor on the magic test bench. Scarlett was finalizing the magic pattern on the shoulder armor. She raised her head and saw Roy. She raised her slender eyebrows and asked Roy:

"You don't want to buy the magic pattern structure again!"

"No, I came to see you this time because I want to know something from you." Roy said.

Magician Scarlett sat on the armchair, and the assistant next to her took off her gloves...

"What's the matter, tell me!" Miss Scarlett stared at Roy and asked.

Roy asked Scarlett directly: "Miss Scarlett, is there a fire magician in the Castleton Magic Union?"

Miss Scarlett gave Roy a very positive answer:

"Of course!"

Roy stood in front of the test bench and asked Scarlett again:

"Then... how many fire magicians are there in the Castletown Magic Union?"

Miss Scarlett thought about it seriously, then turned her head and said to the female assistant beside her:

"Although the number of fire magicians is relatively small, there must be at least 70 fire magicians officially registered with the Castletown Magic Union."

"That's right, counting those outsiders, the number of fire magicians may exceed a hundred..."

The female assistant echoed.

"so much?"

Roy was a little dumbfounded.

He originally planned... If there were not many fire magicians in Castletown, he would investigate them one by one in private.

Now it seems that this idea doesn't even need to be thought about, it doesn't work at all.

Miss Scarlett nodded and said:

"Well, there is a shortage of elves, but many magicians occasionally also practice fire magic."

Since the fire magician could not be found out from the magic union, Roy had no choice but to leave.

……

The heavily armored warriors of the Silvermoon Elves are sword dancers, but sword dancers are better at wielding one-handed swords or two-handed swords. Few sword dancers hold swords and shields on the battlefield...

Most of the elves who like to use shields are rangers. The weapons used by the Silvermoon Rangers are very diverse. Every Silvermoon Ranger is good at using short combat bows. shield.

Therefore, most of the shields in the magic shop are small round shields or arm guards with light sensitivity.

The shop owner told Roy that if he wanted to buy a heavy shield, he had to go to the blacksmith shop. The magic shop only had a variety of exquisite metal round shields.

Roy also saw a row of round shields inlaid with magic gems on the wall of the magic shop. It is said that such a magic gem is worth a hundred magic spar...

After searching for a long time in the magic store, I finally picked out a small crescent shield.

For this, Roy spent five magic spar.

The owner of the magic shop also specifically emphasized that although this shield is called the Crescent Shield, it is not the very famous epic shield, it is just an ordinary magic shield that can block fireballs.

Even so, that was enough for Roy.

……

The Temple of Liberty, the number of believers who came to attend the rally continued to decrease...

The original 40-member choir had three lead singers, but now the lead singers have been reduced to two, and there are only 20 choir members left.

Roy stood in front of the high platform with the Holy Grail of Wisdom, and it took just over an hour to distribute the holy water.

He looked back at the holy water pool, only less than one-fifth of the holy water in the pool had fallen.

Not so many believers received the holy water, and the remaining holy water was enough for Roy to take a bath.

It is said that drinking this kind of holy water containing the power of the holy light often helps to condense the power of the holy light, so Roy also filled his water bottle with holy water this time.

When cleaning up the main hall, only Roy himself was left.

Originally, the work of three people fell on Roy alone, and it took him a long time to finish it.

Recently Roy has been learning the 'Hammer of Judgment' from Priest Reed, but it's really difficult for this priest to learn the offensive magic spell...

Over the past few days, Roy couldn't even draw a complete divine pattern.

Priest Reed corrected Roy's mistakes very patiently. Recently, every time he came to the study room, he would tell Roy about the various books on each row of bookshelves in the study room. According to the words of the great priest Reed, there is no requirement Roy has read every book, but he must know what books are in the study room...

The second batch of expeditionary forces at the headquarters of the Statue of Liberty in the Elven Continent has already completed preparations. When the third batch of expeditionary forces is the last batch, the High Priest Reed will also go to Golfito.

As for the Statue of Liberty in Castletown, it will be demolished and the building will become an orphanage in Lower Castletown.

Priest Reed said that there is not much that can be left for Roy. He will take the Holy Grail of Wisdom to the Dark Land. All the books in the temple will be given to Roy. Roy is going to wait for Priest Reed to leave the temple , and moved the books in the study room to the Black Pearl.

……

Those who also thought about the Black Pearl were Benjamin and Abt who were far away in Shusen Port.

Shusen Port is a small fishing port. There is only a shallow water pier suitable for flying fishing boats. There are many half-blood elves living near the fishing port.

This is a more pure residence of half-blood elves. On the pier, only the guards and tax collectors are silver-moon elves. They hardly have any sense of presence. The half-blood elves living here are squeezed out by the silver-moon elves.

There are large apple orchards around Shusen Port. The owners of these orchards are almost all silver moon elves, but few orchard owners will hire half-blood elves to work in the orchard. They would rather hire silver moon elves at a high price...

Therefore, most of the half-blood elves in Shusen Port depend on fishing for a living.

Many half-breed elves live in poverty, life expectancy is not directly proportional to wealth here, and it doesn't mean that the longer you live, the richer you are. Whether you have money in your pocket has nothing to do with your age.

Benjamin offered a sum of money, and Abbott came forward. The two recruited 36 fishermen who were willing to go to sea in the port in just two days.

Benjamin and Abt only stayed in Shusen Harbor for three days, and left Shusen Harbor with 36 half-blood elf fishermen and six flying fish boats. Before the tide comes, dig a waterway and try to sail the Black Pearl into the sea during the high tide.

Entering October, most of the time there will be a northerly wind on the sea. As long as the sails are raised while the strong northerly wind is blowing, almost any lighter sailboat can glide on the beach. The Black Pearl is bigger. , but if you want to use the tide to return to the sea, there is still a good chance.

It's just that a group of people encountered a sea storm just as they went out to sea.

After entering October, this kind of extreme stormy weather is rarely seen in the sea area of ​​​​the Silver Moon Elf, but it does not mean that there are no such extreme storms.

Benjamin and Abt happened to catch up, and the six flying fishing boats were completely broken up in the storm. Benjamin and Abt's flying fishing boats persisted in the storm for a day and a night, but they were finally overturned by huge waves.

After Benjamin's fishing boat overturned, he dragged Abbott into the sea onto the handle of the magic scorpion. The two lost their way in the cloudy storm. On the reef island, the two set up a tent at the edge of the woods on the reef island to escape the storm...

In the tent, Benjamin looked at the pouring rain without tears...

The storm completely obscured the blue sky and sea in front of them, and the two of them didn't even know where they landed.

I can only wait for the storm to stop and make plans.

……

On the beach on the west side of Castleton Harbour, the Black Pearl stood still in the raging storm, all sails were tied to the crossbar, all windows were tightly closed, and heavy rain fell on the deck. The collected water flows into the fresh water collection tank behind the hull along the water collecting system on the ship.

After the tank is full, the rainwater flows from the overflow to the outside of the hull.

Tiffany turned into a naga mermaid, sitting alone in front of the bronze statue on the bow, letting the powerful raindrops hit her body.

It was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears, and her face was wet.

Looking at the endless sea covered by the heavy rain, her eyes are full of confusion about the future...

In the past few days, she has been tracking Abbott's whereabouts, but this guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, no matter how hard she tries, she has nothing to gain.

She recalled the scene when she secretly left home and left the tribe. The letter she left at home was somewhat decisive.

So much so that she feels remorse now, and has the idea of ​​going home, but when she thinks about that letter, Tiffany thinks she should stay on the Black Pearl for a while.

During the recent period, tracking down Abt has almost become her whole life.

The magnificent three-colored fish tail was thrown onto the deck. The Naga Mermaid's body was about three meters long, and the fish tail below the waist accounted for almost two-thirds.

Probably because they need to swim in the sea, the waist of each Naga mermaid is relatively slender and fit. The vest line on their waist and abdomen is very clear. The chest and abdomen of men will have steel plate-like muscles with scales. Women It is a white belly.

The rain made Tiffany's long hair stick tightly to her head, and she rested her head on the shoulder of the bronze figure, just like that.

"I know it's not easy to fish in the sea under such heavy rain, you must not have eaten yet..."

Carrying a small tin bucket, Roy moved towards the bow of the boat little by little against the wind and rain that could almost blow people over.

I really don't know how Tiffany can sit so firmly.

Tiffany heard Roy's voice, turned his head, only to see him standing on the deck stupidly with a tin bucket, one hand still clinging to the front mast of the ship, arched body, shaking There are so many mackerel in the tin bucket.

Tiffany swung the tail of the fish, twisted his body and slid onto the deck, and took the tin bucket from Roy's hand.

looked at him and said to him:

"If you want to bring me something, just bring a few books. If you want to eat fish, I can go to the sea to pick some fresher ones, fat ones and thin ones. I always have to pick one that fits my eyes. In addition, I just like h Eat some oysters and mussels."

After speaking, he slid the fish tail and slid into the cabin.

Roy followed carefully, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he walked into the cabin, saying:
"I also like to eat oysters. Seeing that you are fine here, then I will go back first. I will bring you some books tomorrow."

Tiffany didn't speak, watched Roy walk down the cabin, and then said behind:
"There has been no news about Abt recently. I think he may have left Castleton Port..."

"I guess I just went out to avoid the limelight, and I will come back after all. You have to be patient in this matter, don't be too impatient."

Roy's voice came from under the cabin.

The violent wind and rain whizzed past outside the cabin, and the sound was not very clear:

"When the weather is good, I can go shopping around. The law and order in Castletown is still okay..."

　I've been a little stuck lately, don't worry, I'll be able to adjust right away
