Path of Light.

Chapter 77 78. Mirror Image
Almost every semester, there are some unruly students who need to come to the arena to resolve the conflicts between the two parties. Instructor Nora has long been used to it.

As long as she guarantees that both parties will not be disabled, let alone accidentally die, in fact, a little injury is nothing...

Injury is something that every elf will definitely experience when growing up.

As long as you drink some life sap casually, the injury will recover quickly.

This time, Steve's right cheek was hit by a log shield with a large bruise, his cheekbone was swollen, and his right eye could hardly be opened.

He sat on the bench in some embarrassment, the pride on his face disappeared without a trace. After applying hemostatic ointment to the blood hole on his leg, he wrapped it tightly with a bandage several times, and the bandage was not bad, although Occasionally there is blood oozing, but it is only a small mark.

Steve drank a glass of life sap, but refused Abt's treatment.

The reason was that as a believer in the Temple of the Moon God, it was impossible to receive magical treatment from the Temple of Liberty.

The duel was over, and the two sides did not have any bets, nor did they need to fulfill any promises.

So Steve quickly left the arena.

Because Steve and Adams were too confident before, there was no stretcher prepared when they came, so Steve sat on a chair and waited for a while, and left in a hurry until his friend found a stretcher.

……

In the stands, Claire was surrounded by a group of friends, probably because she heard her sister Belle Claire's praise, so she seemed very happy.

Students from the elementary martial arts training class also came over one after another.

Everyone sent congratulations to Claire one after another, hoping to deepen the relationship between each other through communication.

Claire and Roy are usually two little transparent people in the class, and everyone seldom notices them. If it wasn't for the news that they had a duel with Steve and Adams, some students didn't even notice. And a half-elf...

Roy put the chainmail back in the large suitcase and returned the original to Claire.

Claire looked at the big suitcase, pulled Roy aside, and whispered to him, "Roy, if you like heavy armor, you can keep it..."

Roy waved his hand casually and responded:

"Let's take it back. I don't want the first set of heavy armor to be a gift from a friend. I will customize a set in the future."

Claire saw Roy's resolute gaze, so she had no choice but to put the heavy suitcase into her pocket, and muttered helplessly:

"Well, as long as you don't regret it..."

……

Seeing that Roy actually returned a whole set of chain mail to Claire, and refused the gift.

Belle was a little surprised.

In her eyes, many human beings are relatively greedy, and there is even a desire that is difficult to hide in their eyes.

The young half-elf in front of me looks like a human being, but there is no greed in her eyes. I really want to make her look different...

She walked up to her younger brother Wagner Clare, took the initiative to tidy up his leather collar, and said to him with a smile:
"I didn't expect...you actually won, the tactics were well executed! Congratulations, Wagner, if you are on the battlefield outside, your friends will also be trustworthy partners!"

"Of course, my vision has always been good!" Clare said very proudly.

But then Claire was taken away by a group of friends, and everyone wanted to get to know Roy.

Belle Claire was standing on the edge of the stands...

She also has her own circle of friends.

Several friends who accompanied her to the arena to watch the duel came to her side and said:
"I didn't expect Steve and Adams to lose. This duel really made Claire succeed in counterattack... His friend should be a trainee priest..."

Seeing that her friend was hesitating in speaking, Bai Lier looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Bai Lier, don't you want to form an adventure group? I think it would be good to include a trainee priest in the adventure group." The friend reminded in a low voice: "As long as your brother is recruited, can the trainee priest join our adventure?" It's probably just a matter of time."

Belle Claire didn't expect her friend to say this. She was planning to form an adventure group, but what she was planning to form was an adventure group made up of Silver Moon elves. Only in this way could she pass the application for the envoy of the Moon God Temple.

If there are half-blood elves or half-elfs in the adventure group, the Moon God Temple will never allow the envoys to join them.

Belle Claire frowned, hesitated for a moment before saying: "Wait a little longer, they haven't even graduated from elementary martial arts yet!"

……

After Roy said goodbye to Claire, he left the arena with Jasper and Abbott.

They usually live on the side of the port pier, and rarely come to the upper city.

On the main street of Castletown, there are still a lot of shops of all kinds, because this is a port city, and there are many imported products in the shops, so all kinds of goods are full of windows.

Jasper and Abbott buy some glitter in a magic shop.

In fact, this thing is usually used by Dark Moon Rangers very much. When it is thrown out, it can shine brightly, and Dark Moon Rangers can take the opportunity to hide in the shadows, but for priests, this thing is actually useless...

The only point of use is to make the divine magic more beautiful.

During the recent period, both Jasper and Abbott have received some entrusted tasks, which are basically the dirty work of purifying vengeful spirits.

They want to make the cleansing ceremony a little more beautiful, so they need glitter powder.

But this thing is not very cheap in the magic shop...

When passing by a bakery, Roy smelled the strong smell of wheat inside and went in to buy a breadstick.

Jasper bought some soft leather, a roll of cloth and a wooden box of iron nails in a shop along the street, walked out of the shop, and said to Roy:
"In the recent period, Abt and I have been investigating how many dead souls are in the cabin. There are not many dead souls hidden in the ship building. We have almost purified them in the past few days."

"On the contrary, there are a lot of dead souls in the oar room below the deck. We haven't done anything until the power of the holy light on our bodies recovers, and we are trying to find a way to purify them."

"It's rare to have some free time this afternoon, or let's try again...?" Roy said.

"I made an appointment with the boss of the carpenter's workshop. We'll go to the workshop and ship back the repaired doors and windows." Jasper looked at the sun above his head and said, "Try to reinstall the doors and windows in the afternoon, so that's fine." Even if it rains again, I won’t be afraid that the inside of the boat building will get wet.”

The three of them talked about their work plan for the afternoon as they walked. Since Roy's left shoulder was injured, the main labor force was still Jasper and Abbott.

Jasper has always been very concerned about repairing the Black Pearl, and he did not hesitate to use some of his savings for this. Seeing that he changed the big hole in the bottom of the ship into a door, it is obvious that he did not intend to let the ship The boat goes to sea.

The three of them came to the carpenter's workshop on Brown Street, borrowed a flatbed truck from the boss, and then transported the repaired doors and windows to the Black Pearl on the west side of the pier.

In such a hot weather, the scorching sun scorched the stone road so hot that even every breath felt like it was sucking in a fire.

But there was no sea breeze at all, so the three finally lifted the repaired doors and windows from the edge of the beach to the shade of the Black Pearl, sat on a few rocks and refused to move again.

"The tide is going to rise later, we have to quickly hang these doors and windows to the deck, we can't let them soak in the sea..."

Fortunately, the cantilever suspension wheel on the ship was not removed and remained on the side of the ship.

To put it bluntly, a fixed pulley is installed on the wooden arm, and the rope is inserted into the groove of the fixed pulley. Roy hangs the prepared rope on the hook below, and Jasper and Abbott It didn't take much effort to drag these doors and windows to the bow deck together.

After finishing these tasks, the tide had already reached the edge of the Black Pearl.

Jasper began to be a little absent-minded, always looking at the reef not far away from time to time, where the water was a little deeper.

Although Roy was slightly injured, the work of installing doors and windows was also done by Jasper and Abbott, and he just followed them as a small laborer.

Roy followed the two of them into the ship building, and immediately cast a low-light lighting technique to condense a group of sacred light, which can ensure that once a dead soul approaches, it can immediately appear in the holy light.

There are traces left after the battle everywhere at the entrance of the ship building, but the blood stains on it have been cleaned.

I just don't know whether these bloodstains were washed away by the rain, or whether Jasper and Abbott cleaned them up.

There are two rooms on the left side of the first floor of the ship building, and the kitchen and storage room on the right side. The corridor on the side of the kitchen has stairs leading to the second floor and stairs leading to the cabin below the deck.

The two rooms on the left side of the first floor have two independent wooden doors on the deck.

The first wooden door installed by Jasper and Abbott was the first room on the left.

In addition to a very well-crafted carved wooden bed, there are bronze wardrobes, tables, chairs and bookshelves in the room.

A torn bed sheet was lying on the wooden floor, a broken bottle, a blood-stained notebook, a quill with bald feathers...

A cabinet door was open, and there were some women's long skirts and capes in the closet. These clothes were cut from some high-end fabrics, and there were some blood-stained finger prints on the cabinet door.

Walking to the closet, you can still smell the very light perfume on the clothes.

The wooden board on the bed was still stained with blood, and there were even traces of the corpse being dragged away.

However, all the books on the bookshelf were removed, and even the desk was completely emptied, and two empty drawers were also lying under the desk.

There is also a bronze mirror with exquisite hollow patterns hanging on the wall.

Roy walked over and stood in front of the bronze mirror, his handsome face was clearly reflected in it...

A bolt of lightning passed through his mind.

Roy finally remembered that when he saw Priest Andison talking to himself in the mirror in the warehouse of the temple, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

then……

Standing at the door of the warehouse, he didn't even see Priest Andison in the mirror!
