Path of Light.

Chapter 8 8. Identification
The magic guild in Castletown is located in the upper town, right next to the Castletown Elf Academy, which is almost the place with the strongest learning atmosphere in the city.

Young elves holding books and running on the street can be seen everywhere. The main teaching building of the elf academy and the mage tower of the magic union complement each other here, becoming one of the most eye-catching landmarks on the west side of the upper city.

Young elves usually go to elf academy to study.

Whether it is a silver moon elf or a half-blood elf, as long as they have the willingness to learn, and pay the full tuition fee, they can come to school here.

Ms. Belinda is going to let Roy go to school here.

Many elves find a job to earn a semester's tuition after they become adults, and then go to the elf academy.

Some elves study while working part-time. As long as they don’t apply for so many subjects every semester, they can still maintain part-time work and part-study.

Of course, there are also families with better conditions. For example, those elves and nobles do not need to consider tuition fees. They only need to concentrate on studying in the academy. Such students often study more comprehensive subjects.

Roy originally needed to find a job to earn enough tuition fees like other ordinary elves before going to school.

But mother Belinda thinks that Roy only has half the lifespan of an elf. If he has to work like other elves while studying, the time to enjoy life will be greatly reduced, so she plans to help Roy pay the tuition.

Castletown is an open city with no walls around it.

More than 90.00% of the city is built on the mountains by the sea. From the bottom up, the streets in the city are also layered.

All the buildings are built against the mountain, the more you look up, the more luxurious those buildings are...

On the top of the hill in Castleton City, there is a huge silver moon elf statue nearly 30 meters high standing on the top of the mountain. The direction that the right hand of this silver moon elf statue is pointing is the location of Buenos City.

Roy, who was standing on the large square in front of the Magic Union, looked up at the giant statue on the top of the mountain, and felt that if it collapsed, it would probably fall here.

Putting aside such unrealistic thoughts, Roy tightly clenched the money bag full of Kohler, and mustered up his courage before walking into the magic tower.

The guard at the door did not stop Roy because he looked like a human being, but just glanced at Roy with a scrutiny. Roy responded by speaking fluent Elvish:
"I'm here for a primary appraisal."

With such a simple sentence, Roy walked into the first floor of the mage tower unimpeded. In fact, the place where the primary appraisal was conducted happened to be here.

The interior of the first floor of the Magic Tower is divided into many different areas, and you can walk along the corridors according to some guide signs. The first impression Roy gave here was that it was very similar to the first floor of some stores.

On both sides of the corridor are some various shops.

And these shops are more or less related to magic, such as pharmacy, scroll shop, magic gem shop, magic weapon shop and so on.

Those who entered and exited these magic shops were not only elf nobles, but also students from elf academies, and some mages in gorgeous robes.

Roy found the guide sign of the identification area, and as the flow of people came to this area, it seemed a little deserted here.

Many of the shops in the forest are related to appraisal, but many shops are for appraisal of magic artifacts. Roy walked around here, and finally locked on a shop that looked a bit inconspicuous, but people kept patronizing it. primary laboratory.

Roy lined up quietly.

Each customer enters the store alone, and the rest have to wait outside.

There were four people in line in front of Roy, and they came out one after another, with mixed joy and sorrow on their faces.

Roy was also a little uneasy.

When it was his turn, Roy stood at the door and knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: 'Please come in! '

Roy pushed them away and walked in. The room was not big, and it was almost full of bookshelves, with some copper books on it.

There was a smell of rotten parchment in the room, and there was a ladder leading upstairs beside the last row of bookshelves, but Roy didn't need to go upstairs, as soon as he entered the door, there was a wooden table with A few magic crystals.

An elf mage sat behind the table. The elf mage's eyes were very gentle, but there was a hint of majesty, which made people dare not offend.

He was wearing a dark green robe, and Roy found that all the gorgeous patterns on this robe were silver, and there were some dark lines, which could only be revealed under the refraction of light at a certain angle, which belonged to a low-key style. luxurious.

Roy couldn't tell the age of the elf mage, and the years hadn't left any traces on the elf mage's face.

"Young man, can I help you with anything?"

The elf mage said in a flat tone.

"I would like to ask you to help me identify whether I have comprehended magic..."

Roy sat down on a somewhat cold chair, stretched out his right hand with the sleeves rolled up, and put his palm up on the table. There was a little firefly-like light on the open palm.

Seeing Roy's anxious face, the elf mage couldn't help but comfort him:
"The silver moon elves not only have the talent to be archers, but also every elf is familiar with magic elements, and they can learn magic with a little guidance."

"It can be seen that you are a half-elf, so if you want to learn magic, you can study at the elf academy. After you officially become a magic apprentice, you can register with the magic union."

"Can I really?"

Roy just wanted to know if he could become a magician.

His obsession with this is entirely because of the boy in his memory with the mark of lightning on his forehead.

If you can become a mage, it is not bad.

Roy imagined that he was holding a magician book and holding a fir staff in his hand. As long as he pointed at it casually with the staff, a fireball would float out. It would be cool to think about it.

"Forehead……"

The elf mage hesitated for a moment, but he did not give an affirmative answer.

Then he picked up a magic crystal from the table, and slowly brought the tip of the magic crystal close to the faint light in Roy's palm.

What surprised the elf mage was that the magic crystal was about to touch the faint light, and there was no response at all.

Normally, this magic crystal wand would light up as long as it came into contact with a little bit of magic fluctuations, but it didn't react at all in front of the light in Roy's palm.

The elf mage then picked up a magic crystal that detects the strength of magic, and approached the dim light, but there was still no response.

He hesitated for a moment before patting his forehead.

"It's not magic!"

The elf mage came to a conclusion.

Roy was full of expectations, but when the elf mage said this, the expectations on his face suddenly collapsed.

"...However, you can go to the Temple of the Moon... or the Temple of Liberty."

When the elf mage said this, he paused in the middle. His suggestion was to let Roy go to the Moon God Temple, but the Moon God Temple in Castleton City is only open to Silver Moon Elves, like Roy. Half-elfs and half-blood elves are not allowed to enter at will and desecrate the altar of the moon there.

So the elf mage changed his mind and suggested that Roy go to the Temple of Liberty to have a look.

"The flame in your hand is neither a fire element nor a light element. I guess it may be a divine spell... Although I can't identify it here, you can go to the temple and ask. I believe they will welcome a person who doesn't need it." Enlightenment, young people who can get in touch with divine arts."

The elf mage said to Roy.

Roy was a little overwhelmed, he didn't expect such a result at all.

The elf mage didn't even charge the final appraisal fee because he failed to provide Roy with valuable help, so Roy didn't need to pay the appraisal fee.

Seeing that the purse in his hand was still bulging, Roy didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed when he walked out of the primary appraisal office...

Seeing Roy coming out, the young elf who was behind took the opportunity to walk in.

……

In the Silver Moon Kingdom, the Temple of the Moon God is the largest temple with the most believers.

Almost all silvermoon elves worship Elune, the goddess of the moon.

However, it is precisely because the Moon God Temple is extremely large and the goddess worshiped is the goddess of the moon who symbolizes holiness, so this temple only accepts the followers of the Silver Moon Elf.

According to the elf mage, the flame in Roy's palm belongs to the category of divine magic, so he has to go to the temple to find the answer.

It is impossible for Roy to enter the Temple of the Moon God, he can only go to the Temple of Liberty...

Speaking of which, the Temple of the Statue of Liberty was able to spread teachings in the kingdom of the elves precisely because of the exclusive practices of the Temple of the Moon God.

The priests of the Temple of the Moon pushed the half-blood elves out of the door, and the Temple of Liberty accepted this group, so the priests of the Temple of Liberty were able to build a small temple in the lower city of Castleton.

And this temple is not too far from Roy's home...

'If I had known this, I might as well go to the temple first! 'Roy complained in his heart.

After he walked out of the magic tower and saw the bright sunshine above his head, the original depression was swept away.

Roy even bought a piece of iced watermelon in an ice drink shop across the street from the Magic Union, and ate it while walking along the long street...

When returning to Brown Street, it is almost all the way down the stairs and ramps, which is much easier than when I came here.

Roy finished his lunch on the way, and went directly to the gate of the Statue of Liberty.

Thinking of the scene where I saw the thief over the wall yesterday morning, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The gate of the temple is closed, but the side door is open, and there are no priests guarding the door.

Roy walked in while leaning on the iron railing of the side door. This was the first time he entered the front courtyard of the temple...
