Path of Light.

Chapter 38 38. The Grocery Store on Brown Street

Roy, who was sitting in the corner of the lecture theater, seemed a little absent-minded. After all, it was not a pleasant thing to be targeted by the Naga killer.

Roy didn't pay much attention to the historical events that the elf princess told on stage.

He just opened the book and placed it on the table casually. At first, he wanted to record the main points with a pen, but he found that what Teacher Ophelia said was more than what was written in the book...

He was sitting in a chair, thinking about what had happened recently.

First, in the tavern, apart from witnessing Jefferson being killed, and later unexpectedly knowing that the elf thief Peleus stole the Holy Grail, there seems to be nothing other than these two things. Invite a Naga killer to run over and kill people...

Or it's because I often fish at the seaside. As a distant relative of fish, the Naga killer turned into a righteous revenge envoy, sneaking ashore to chase and kill me!
If there are so many fishing boats in the port, it is impossible for Roy to take the wheel...

'Fishing boat? '

A flash of inspiration flashed in Roy's mind, and then he thought of the eyes of the Naga killer, and several human sailors had died in the recent period.

Could it be that the Naga killer regarded himself as a human sailor?Why would he kill himself on the street?
Roy found that the answer probably lies in this. During the process of assassinating himself, the Naga killer obviously had a great reaction to the port docks and sea ships.

As time goes by, the light coming in from the glass windows of the lecture hall is also moving secretly. The elves who were originally basking in the sun have already sat in the shade, but Roy, who happened to be sitting in the corner, is slowly exposed. in the sun.

The sun is shining brightly.

Although Roy kept quiet all the time, and lowered his head, he looked extremely inconspicuous.

But when he was exposed to the sun, he was still recognized by Princess Ophelia at a glance.

Princess Ophelia's eyes stopped on Roy.

"That classmate!"

Princess Ophelia said to Roy.

At this moment, the eyes of all the elves in the lecture theater almost fell on Roy, but Roy was distracted...

However, this state only lasted for two seconds, and Roy was awakened by everyone's gaze.

Later, Roy realized that Princess Ophelia was staring at him calmly.

Roy quickly stood up from his seat, looked at Princess Ophelia with a confused face, and secretly groaned in his heart: Didn't this elf princess never ask questions in class?Why did he suddenly call himself?
The most important thing is that Roy didn't hear what Princess Ophelia just said.

"Student, please tell me, after the split of the elf dynasty, which elf country was the Wuzierman region divided into?"

"..."

How did Roy know the Woodsellman area? He had never heard of this name before, and he had casually flipped through this modern history in the past few days. Records from the Mann area.

"Sorry, I was just distracted."

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Roy could only bite the bullet and say.

Princess Ophelia looked at Roy calmly, and stayed on his face for three seconds before saying:
"Sit down and concentrate on listening to the class carefully, otherwise I will directly sentence you to retake this class."

Roy was a little dumbfounded, and quickly responded:

"Got it, teacher!"

After sitting down honestly, there were still other elf students peeping at Roy. Everyone knows that Princess Ophelia never asks questions in public, but this time before class, she not only proposed to change the teaching method Suggestions, a student was also asked a question in class...

Everyone looked at Roy one after another, privately speculating about the background of this human-like student, but was actually called up by Princess Ophelia to answer questions.

……

At noon, Roy did not see Steve and his friends again.

He came to the entrance of the college and took a long carriage to the intersection of Brown Street. At this time, the fog on the seaside had completely dispersed, and there were not many pedestrians on Brown Street.

There was plenty of sunshine at noon, and the sandy beaches in the distance were steaming with water vapor, and it looked as if the air was seriously distorted.

The slate floor was even a bit hot to the feet. There were some large sailing ships moored in the port not far away. Although the sails had been rolled up and tied to the bottom mast, the erected mainmast and various other poles, And the countless ropes hanging down made these big ships look extremely messy.

The most striking of these was a black five-masted sailing ship, which was parked in deep water.

Perhaps because of the deep draft, the drop between the deck and the pier is only less than five meters. It can be seen that many crew members are washing the deck with sea water...

When passing by the entrance of the pharmacy, the nightsaber, which had been lying in the shade at the entrance to enjoy the cool air, flicked its tail suddenly, and slid back into the not-so-ventilated den.

Roy almost tripped over a protruding corner of the stone slab, he rushed forward a few steps, barely standing still...

Then he turned his head and saw the grocery store next to the pharmacy. Almost half of the items in this grocery store were related to fishing gear. Roy bought all the hooks and lines he usually used from here.

The owner of the grocery store also likes fishing very much. According to him, he has never been in the air force before going to sea. He was the one who taught Roy his fishing skills in the beginning.

At that time, Roy just bought a fishhook and a few meters long fishing line. Even so, the boss closed the shop very enthusiastically, took Roy to the beach, and taught him how to dig sandworms and how to tie them. Line bait...

This grocery store is only open seven or eight days a month, and the boss is almost always fishing at other times.

Probably because of the heavy fog this morning, the owner of the grocery store was unable to go to sea today.

When Roy walked into the grocery store, he saw that the boss was carving a small wooden fish. He was the blackest half-breed elf Roy had ever seen. There will be a clear circle of white...

"Good afternoon, Duke!"

Seeing Roy walk in, the owner of the grocery store immediately smiled and asked:

"Oh, Roy, what do you want to buy this time?"

Roy is very familiar with this grocery store.

Duke, the owner of the grocery store, has been planning to ask Roy to watch the store for him, so that he can be completely liberated, and then go out to sea on a big boat to catch bigger fish...

But this plan was strictly rejected by Ms. Belinda.

"Such a big hook."

Roy pointed to the largest fishhook in the grocery store, which was about as thick as a little finger.

This type of fishhook is perfectly fine for use as a meat hook...

"You want to go to sea to make big goods?" The grocery store owner immediately regained his spirits and asked Roy.

Then he immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly stopped Roy:

"The last time Mrs. Winnie blocked the door of my house, she specifically asked me not to sell you big fishhooks, because she was very worried that you would hang his little K on the light pole at the street corner."

Roy immediately assured:
"Don't worry, Duke, I promise I won't do anything to her kitten this time. Brown Street is always not peaceful recently. I plan to make a ground thorn trap near my house."

Duke, the owner of the grocery store, didn't ask Roy what kind of thorn trap he wanted to make. He was relieved when he heard that it wasn't prepared for the night saber in the pharmacy next door.

"Oh, that's good, that's good! I also heard that a Naga killer appeared on the seashore. I usually go to sea, so it is easy to meet some Naga people at sea. All the Naga killers I have seen It's warm and gentle..."

Roy didn't want to hear the story of the water fight between him and the Naga mermaid girl on the reef, so he took the big fishhook and turned around and walked outside.

The grocery store owner Duke hurriedly shouted to Roy:
"Hey... Hey! Roy, the sun is so hot outside... You can't go fishing at this time, sit down and chat with me, and drink some ice-cold grapefruit tea!"

Roy waved his hand and responded to Duke:
"I still have something to do in the afternoon, another day."

……

Walking out of the grocery store, he walked directly to the door of the temple.

Yesterday it was Jasper who was on duty at the gate, but today it was Abbott. Through the open wooden door of the concierge, Roy saw Abbott sitting in the concierge praying.

This guy has become very hardworking since seeing Roy promoted to a second-level trainee priest...

Roy didn't bother him, so he directly opened the side door and walked into the vestibule of the temple. In the pool in the center of the courtyard, the statue of the Statue of Liberty was still standing there. Unfortunately, the goddess's holy brilliance could not shine on the elf continent...

When he saw Priest Andison, his face was not as pale as before.

He was sitting by the pool, looking like he was soaking his feet in the pool, and he was staring at the statue of the goddess in a daze.

He looked a little decadent. Roy thought of the gathering in the temple a few days ago. Since the goddess's light couldn't reach the Elf Continent, how did he get the holy water in the pool?
Seeing Priest Andison's appearance, Roy seemed to have guessed the answer.

When passing by Priest Anderson, Roy saluted seriously, but Priest Anderson didn't respond...

Priest Andison's mental state appeared to be very bad.

Roy walked around the cypress tree wall and came to the backyard of the temple. After changing into the apprentice priest's robe, he came to the study.

Just when Jasper was praying in the study, he stopped when he saw Roy coming.

Priest Reed is listening to a believer confess his life's sins in the confessional room.

Priest Theodore is still not in the temple.

Jasper said that Priest Theodore was invited by the elf nobles in the city to perform a purification ceremony.

"Jasper, can you heal me again?"

Roy lifted the apprentice priest's robe so that he could see the bandages wrapped around his chest and abdomen.

Jasper's eyes widened, and his anger rushed to the top of his head. He stood up all of a sudden, faced Roy and grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said angrily:

"...Why did you get so badly injured again? Roy, you can't keep silent this time, you have to announce their crimes in the Elf Academy..."

The injury on Roy's shoulder was pinched by Jasper, and Roy was about to come out in pain.

He broke free quickly and said to Jasper:
"Jasper, listen to me first, I met a Naga in the morning, and he caused all these injuries..."
