Path of Light.

Chapter 64 65. Dare to Love
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the large iron gate of the temple, and the courtyard walls on both sides were covered with lush dark cat vines, making the temple look a bit old.

Abt and Jasper worked together to close the big iron gate, and the three trainee priests stood side by side at the gate of the temple, looking at the harbor not far away.

Fishing boats sailed into the port from the sea and docked at the shallow water pier of the port.

A lot of elves were waiting in front of the pier, looking at the catches that had been removed from the fishing boats.

Jasper suddenly turned around and asked Roy:

"Roy, do you want to see the Sea Wolf?"

"Are you going to the beach?" Roy was taken aback by Jasper, and immediately replied reflexively, "Let's forget it."

Jasper put his hands on the shoulders of Roy and Abbott, and said solemnly:

"Believe me, that gray dwarf and elf mage must not dare to wander around the port, and they don't know us. Isn't the second officer Nelev who knew us dead?"

Seeing Jasper's expectant look, Roy and Abt agreed, "Okay then..."

So many days had passed since the battle at the port, and Roy also knew that it was impossible for the gray dwarf captain to stay near the port.

And just as Jasper said, in fact, the captain and first mate of the Sea Wolf never met the two of them face-to-face at all that night.

Passing through the lively port pier, there are various fresh sea fish on the fish market.

The old man who often bought sea fish from Roy sat in front of the booth and waved to Roy.

After passing through the crowded fish market, the three of them finally came to the beach on the west side of the pier.

There are almost no decent beaches here, most places are covered with some reefs, and a steep cliff will appear if you go west.

And the seaside manor was on the cliff, and a high wall was built from the steepest point.

On the beach, the three of them finally saw the black sea boat stranded on the sand. The elves on the pier laid countless wooden rollers along the way before pulling the sea boat to the beach here, and now it is discarded on the edge of the reef.

After Roy approached, he saw the big hole in the bottom of the ship. This hole was actually in the upper part of the closed cabin, and now it looked dark.

There are obvious traces of chopping with an ax on the edge...

Roy stood on a reef, tiptoeing to see inside the hole, and there was still some smelly sea water inside the boat.

The ropes and canvas on the ship have been removed, and many windows of the ship building behind the hull are also damaged. It seems that there should be nothing of value inside.

Except for the big hole in the bottom of the ship, the whole ship is not seriously damaged...

This ship is about 60 meters long, the middle part of the deck is about ten meters wide, the middle of the hull is low, and the two ends are slightly raised. It is about seven or eight meters high without the mast. There are five masts on board, and the canvas has been removed. Clean, only some bare pillars left.

There are still some bloodstains that have dried up on the ship's side, and there are still some holes punched out by spearguns on the outside of the hull.

Roy found that it was impossible to climb to the boat from all sides. If he wanted to climb to the deck, he might have to throw the hook rope over the side of the boat and climb onto the boat along the rope, in addition to climbing in through the hole at the bottom of the boat.

The three walked around the Sea Wolf before Abt sighed: "This ship is so big!"

Then he pointed to the damaged hole and asked Roy and Jasper:

"That's where you escaped from?"

Jasper squinted his eyes, as if he was nostalgic for that experience: "Yes, the hole was a bit small at the time, Tiffany pushed me out first, and then followed me out."

Roy pointed to a row of oar windows on the hull, and there were three round windows behind the row of oar windows, and said, "The Naga Sea Clan killer took me and climbed out of that window, and then we Climb along the outer wall of the ship into the sea..."

"It's a bit unbelievable to say that you were still chasing you on Brown Street in the morning, and rescued you from the Sea Wolf at night..." Jasper said.

Abt stepped on the reef, stepped back a few steps, looked up at the high side of the ship, and asked:

"...Roy, how did you climb up to such a high deck and fight with them?"

Roy pointed to the deep water area of ​​the port wharf, where a row of big ships are still moored, and he said:

"Jump off the boat. There are sea boats about the same height on both sides. The elf guards connected the three boats tightly together with hooks, and then everyone jumped on it."

Abt patted the outer wall of the ship, and asked suspiciously: "Is this ship going to be abandoned here?"

Jasper spread his hands and asked, "Is there any use for it?"

The waves gushed out from the crevices of the reef, and the tide was about to rise. The setting sun in the distance had already sunk into the sea, and there was only a bright orange line on the horizon.

Several brightest stars appeared in the sky.

Waves came one after another, and Roy felt that his eyes might be dazzled, and he saw a slender figure at a reef group more than ten meters away.

Some shadows at dusk may give him illusions, so he needs to identify them carefully.

He turned around and looked carefully towards the reef area, only to see a Naga mermaid lying behind the sea reef, carefully peeping this way.

Seeing that beautiful face, Roy patted Jasper on the shoulder, and suddenly asked him loudly:
"Jasper, if... I mean, if that mermaid girl suddenly ran out of the ocean to look for you... what would you do?"

Jasper smiled and replied without any scruples: "I will rush over and give her a big hug, after all...after all, she rescued me from the boat."

"Don't you have any other ideas?" Roy couldn't help joking.

"idea……"

Just as Jasper was about to answer, he suddenly felt that Roy's eyes were always looking behind him, and he couldn't help turning his head suddenly...

It happened that half of Tiffany's face poked out from behind the reef.

"Tiffany..."

Jasper yelled and strode away.

Opening his arms, he hugged Tiffany, who was protruding from the rocks, and laughed happily.

Abt looked enviously at the Naga mermaid who was only willing to stick out his upper body from the reef, and wanted to go over to say hello, but Roy grabbed his arm and pulled him back to the port.

……

The two textbooks that Roy bought from the back street of the college were almost full of notes.

There are paragraphs of text recorded in many blank places, but many of the contents are brief overviews of some historical events, and there are very few contents that can clearly describe this period of history.

So Roy decided to go to the library to read some related books, otherwise, once he was asked to go on stage to talk about the Renaissance era of the Elven Dynasty, he couldn't just stand on the podium and listen to the other team members talking...

When I came to the Spirit Academy the next day, I still took the elementary martial arts training class first.

With Moira's help, Roy's elementary martial arts skills have improved rapidly in the past few days. When practicing against Claire, the wooden sword in his hand can always be pointed at Claire's chest unexpectedly.

Claire was not strong enough in the battle, but her speed was not bad, but everyone only learned two sets of moves, and she could hardly do any tricks in the battle.

Claire pushed aside Roy's wooden sword on his chest, turned sideways to avoid Roy's slashing, and tried to pick Roy's wrist with the tip of the sword, but was blocked by Roy's backhand...

The two fought back and forth on the training ground.

"Roy, do you want to join the academy's adventure commune?" Claire asked out of breath.

"In no mood!"

Roy said it very simply.

Claire asked: "Don't you want to go out for an adventure? We can go to the outskirts of the city to explore castles or ruins on weekends. It's very interesting."

Roy snorted and didn't want to talk to him at all.

Seeing that Roy was indifferent, Claire continued:
"I submitted an application to the Adventure Commune. Since I participated in the battle at the port last week and killed a crew member with a longbow, they approved my application and I want to introduce you to them. "

"Me? Let's forget it. I don't have time on weekends."

Roy responded casually.

Claire's shuriken was knocked away by Roy's wooden sword again, and Roy's wooden sword rested on his shoulder.

Claire stopped, raised her hands, and pushed his wooden sword away...

"Think about it carefully, joining the adventure commune is actually pretty good."

Claire continued to lobby.

"Don't go!"

Roy responded to him flatly again.

……

After the geography class was over, Roy rushed back to the temple without any delay.

Instead, come to Castletown City Library.

This library is only one street away from the Elven Academy, and it is diagonally opposite to the left of the main entrance of the academy.

This building is a bit like a four-story square birthday cake. Every time a floor is higher, the building will shrink inward. However, the outer walls of the building are covered with exquisite reliefs. Roman columns with arched row.

From a distance, the whole building is full of simple and luxurious atmosphere.

Students of the Elf Academy often go to the library to read books, and the collection of books here is also very diverse, covering almost all subjects taught by the Elf Academy.

The main entrance of the library is a very wide slow step. Walking in from the main entrance, you can see a nearly 50-meter-long counter in the lobby on the first floor. At least ten librarians are standing behind the counter. The elves who came to borrow books provide lending services.

The marble floor of the lobby on the first floor is about six or seven meters high from the dome, and the total height of those huge bookshelves is at least five meters, and the distance between each bookshelf is about three meters. If you want the books on the bookshelves, you have to use a tripod Push the ladder over.

There are tripod ladders like this between almost every bookshelf...

Most of the books in the hall on the first floor are basic knowledge, among which books on music, art, and poetry occupy about half of the entire hall.

Roy walked to the front desk, and with the help of an elf lady, he spent a hundred dollars to apply for a reading voucher.
