Path of Light.

Chapter 69
In the eyes of his family, Wagner Claire has a handsome face, usually likes to wear neutral clothes, and has a shy and weak personality. He often follows his sister Belle Claire. Many of his hobbies are like a girl.

He is thin, with slender, white and flexible hands.

The family members think that Claire is very talented in music and is very suitable for playing the piano.

So after Claire entered the Elven Academy, the few courses she chose were all related to music.

Anyone who has seen Claire will think that he is a delicate and shy elf...

In fact, few people know the stubbornness and madness of Claire's bones. Maybe even Claire didn't know it until he met Roy at the Spirit Academy...

When facing the aggressive Steve, Claire fought on the street for the first time. Although he was beaten badly by a group of young elf nobles, he and Roy beat Steve into a pig's head.

Maybe it was then that a... seed called 'crazy' began to take root in Claire's body.

Suddenly, he seemed to have an extra personality.

Claire is usually the soft and submissive person who always smiles when she sees people...

But once a fight is brought up, it becomes extremely irritable.

Otherwise, he would not have faced Steve's provocation that day, and accepted a fight in the arena like a madman.

Roy knew that he was the kind of elf who would fight to the end after making a decision.

……

On the other side of the training ground, Steve and Adams are practicing against each other.

Both of them have certain attainments in swordsmanship, and they didn't stick to the two sets of elf martial arts taught by instructor Nora during the battle practice, but carried some swordsmanship skills they usually learned, so the two of them fighting on the training ground seemed like Extremely gorgeous.

Even if you hold two wooden swords in your hands, when you swing them, they will still turn into a string of phantoms...

As a silver moon elf, Steve has a very perfect figure.

His upper body has a very obvious inverted triangle shape, his body is well-proportioned, and his posture is elegant every time he slides sideways or dodges.

Adams, on the other hand, should look stronger. The wooden sword in his hand is also a broad-edged sword. Always with that kind of winner's smile, people will inevitably feel a little impetuous at a glance.

Although both of them are excellent silver moon elves, they have two completely different styles.

When practicing, there is even a feeling of dazzling.

For a while, it attracted countless students to watch.

……

As for Roy and Claire, there were only a few groups of students practicing quietly on the grass.

Everyone is far away to ensure that they don't interfere with each other.

Claire held the long dagger behind his back with one hand, and attacked Roy again and again. His body was flexible, and every time the long dagger in his hand stabbed like a poisonous snake, Roy couldn't stop it even if he held a wooden shield.

I don't know how many times Claire's unsharpened long dagger has been put on Roy...

Roy held a mallet and shield, and was sweating profusely on the training ground, clumsy as a bull.

Probably tired, Claire put the long dagger in the scabbard at his waist and sat down on the grass. He would wear light leather armor every time he took martial arts training classes. He took out a towel from his waist and wiped his face sweat on.

Roy wore tight trousers and a shirt, casually placed the mallet and wooden shield on the grass, and sat down with Claire.

He didn't expect the wooden shield and the gavel to be so heavy. After half a class, he felt that his arms were filled with lead, and it was a bit strenuous to lift them up.

"Roy, I think we should take a good look at the tactics. This guy Steve actually found Adams, and he made it clear that he wanted to crush us with strength. At that time, we might as well have the most familiar fighting methods. In our Get Steve down at all costs before you go down, and Adams wins."

When Claire said these words, there was a kind of paranoia in her eyes.

Roy was a little speechless:

"Claire, maybe we can be bolder."

Claire shook her head and whispered:
"Roy, a duel in the arena is not a street fight. The two of them will use the most violent means to defeat us. We only have one chance, and that is at the moment when the battle begins."

Roy held the gavel lying on the grass in his hand, waved it twice, and asked Claire:

"Claire, if we fight one-on-one, what chance do you think we will have of winning against Steve and Adams?"

"Hardly..." Claire said without the slightest hesitation.

Roy said helplessly: "Yes, this is reality!"

"Okay, then let me talk about my battle plan. My idea is a little better than your way of fighting to die together. Of course... this battle plan also pays more attention to coordination. If you don't cooperate well, you may fail. faster."

Roy spoke in a low voice.

Claire looked forward to it: "Then tell me..."

"You are good at long daggers and bows and arrows. Of course, combat longbows are forbidden in the arena, so use your best dagger."

"I hardly have any weapons that I'm good at, so I choose the hammer and shield. I don't deny that these two weapons focus on defense. In addition to these, I plan to wear heavy armor."

When Claire heard Roy say that he still had to wear heavy armor, she couldn't understand even more.

At this time, I heard Roy go on to say: "When the duel starts, I will be the first to attract the attention of the two of them, and you will wait for the opportunity behind me. The two of us will fight to get one of them out of combat power, and then Then beat the other two against one, and finally win the duel."

Claire asked with some concern: "What if they leave you behind and keep chasing me? You can't run with such heavy clothes."

"You can lean on my side, when I hit it with a hammer, it will definitely make them suffer..." Roy said.

Claire still felt that Roy's plan was unreliable: "But I think it's a bit difficult for you to hold this wooden hammer and wooden shield. If you put on a set of heavy armor, you may not even be able to walk."

Roy patted his chest and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. Have you forgotten that I'm a trainee priest? I can use the 'Blessing of Power' to strengthen myself, and of course I can also strengthen you... "

Hearing what Roy said, Claire's eyes became bright.

He said a little excitedly: "I can still buy two bottles of Lion King's Power Potion, so...it can also increase my strength!"

"Roy, I suddenly realized that this duel doesn't seem so bad."

After speaking, Claire stood up and pulled Roy up from the grass.

"Roy, I think the two of us should practice for a while...Roy, do you have heavy armor? I can get this for you. What do you want?"

Roy thought about it. He had seen several elf warrior statues in the corridor on the first floor of the main teaching building of the college.

Those statues not only had weapons, but also wore armor.

One of the elf warriors with a spear in their hands was wearing a set of mail armor, which left the deepest impression on him, so he said to Clare:

"The best kind of mail armor, long like a windbreaker, and a pair of mail armor boots, gloves or something."

Claire asked: "Are you sure you can still move in a full suit?"

In fact, Roy didn't know either, so he could only say, "How will you know if you don't try..."

Claire felt that Roy was right, so she said, "Why don't you... come and pick out a suit of mail armor with me this afternoon?"

Roy quickly waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow morning, there is still work to be done at the temple in the afternoon!"

"Then you have to come earlier, we can't bring the mail armor to class." Claire told Roy.

"Know……"

……

Every Wednesday assembly at the Temple of Liberty will have a choir singing hymns in the main hall.

As one of the lead singers of the choir, Sabrina would arrive at the temple at noon.

Roy will also go to the temple to help after class.

The two of them ran to the gate of the college almost at the same time, arrived at Brown Street in the same long carriage, and trotted all the way to the gate of the Statue of Liberty.

The believers gathered at the entrance of the temple walked into the temple one after another, and Roy and Sabrina slipped into the courtyard through the side door.

Sabrina was going to the main hall to take over from another lead singer of the choir, while Roy put on the apprentice priest's robe and ran to the side hall to help Priest Theodore.

To Roy's surprise, Priest Andison was also in the main hall this time, but his face seemed to be painted with white powder, his eye sockets were sunken, and he covered himself in a black robe, and he just stood there the whole time. Beside High Priest Reed, he stood silently praying.

Roy sneaked a glance at Priest Anderson from the side, and there was a kind of despair in his eyes.

Sabrina stood out in the choir crowd wearing a light gauze dress, and she looked very outstanding. When Roy passed the main hall, he couldn't help but take a second look.

In probably two consecutive rallies, Priest Reed was providing holy water from the holy water pool, and when leading the believers to pray, he would cast down twelve rays of holy light in front of the statue in the main hall.

So at the end of this rally, I felt that Priest Reed was also indescribably tired.

After the temple gathering, Roy still needs to be responsible for the final cleaning work with Jasper and Abt.

While cleaning the temple, Jasper secretly said to Roy:
"Roy, you didn't come yesterday. Abt and I secretly tidied up the sea boat. Not only did we seal the big hole in the bilge with wooden boards, but we also installed a ladder on the right side of the ship so that we can directly climb to the bottom of the big ship. on deck."

"However, the things on the ship have been moved very cleanly, and almost all the things in the captain's cabin have been emptied, leaving only some furniture such as seats, benches and cabinets that cannot be moved..."
