Path of Light.

Chapter 85 86. Ghost
Priest Reed sat in the carriage, with a face full of self-blame, and said to Priest Theodore:
"Half a month ago, the elf patrol of the guard sent the four bronze mirrors to the temple, and I knew there would be trouble."

"Those bronze mirrors should be the items of a certain necromancer, mainly used to detain the dead. There is a gate of dimensional space on each mirror, but fortunately, the necromancer has arranged a seal on these mirrors. I checked After breaking these seals and confirming that the dead souls trapped in the mirrors cannot escape, they decided to temporarily store these bronze mirrors in the warehouse."

"After all, this is an extraordinary period. Purifying these dead souls requires a lot of power of the Holy Light. I want to delay it for a while."

"In order to suppress the dead souls in the mirror, I also lighted a candle with the breath of holy light in the warehouse to weaken their power."

"I know that he occasionally goes to the warehouse, and has never interfered with him. I think as long as he is given some time, he can get out of the dead corner of his thinking. In fact, it has been quite a long time since there was no news from the high priest. Let us wait in silence."

"I didn't expect Andison to find those dead souls... Otherwise, with his personality, it would be impossible for him to do such an impulsive act anyway."

The stone road is actually not that flat, and the carriage is a little bumpy when driving on the cliff road.

Priest Theodore has gotten a little fat recently. Sitting in the bumpy carriage, he feels his whole body trembling...

He only learned of Priest Andison's death last night, probably because he didn't sleep well last night, and now he looks a little depressed.

"I'll just say...how could Priest Andison be so impulsive this time? Probably bewitched by the dead souls!"

Priest Theodore leaned on the sofa, slapped the armrest of the sofa fiercely, then leaned forward and asked in a low voice to Priest Reed:

"Has Priest Anderson's death report been delivered?"

Priest Reed nodded and said, "I took the time to write it last night, and I just sent it this morning..."

Priest Theodore reached out and unbuttoned the collar of the shirt under the divine robe, moved the collar, licked his plump lips and continued to ask: "Then will the higher-ups send investigators over this time?"

"They will definitely come. This time they not only need to verify the cause of Priest Andison's death, but also take back the four bronze mirrors in the warehouse for processing..."

Priest Reed responded.

Priest Theodore's fat face trembled slightly, and he quickly rubbed his numb face with his hands, his eyes drifted out of the window.

After a while, Priest Theodore said quietly: "Priest Reed, I was negligent about this matter. If I knew that there were still such things in this warehouse, I would purify them no matter what."

Priest Theodore's face became hot when he saw both Abt and Jasper looking towards him.

Then he boldly said: "I heard that many priests in some southern regions of the Silver Moon Kingdom are evacuating one after another. Now a large number of priests are gathered in Golfito. I guess we won't be here for too long."

When Priest Reid heard Priest Theodore's words, his face was still calm, obviously he knew about it.

But for Roy, Jasper and Abbott in the carriage, they were not prepared at all...

"Priest Reed, are we going to leave here too?" Jasper asked High Priest Reed immediately after hearing such bad news before recovering from his grief.

Priest Reed patted him on the shoulder and said, "I haven't received such a notice yet."

"The Statue of Liberty in other elf cities is being abolished?" Jasper followed up and asked again.

Priest Reed nodded slowly and said, "That's true."

Jasper said somewhat confusedly:
"My God, I don't know if the Temple of Liberty in Castletown is down, where else are we going? Going to Golfito too?"

Priest Reed quickly comforted Jasper:

"Before the above notice is communicated, we just need to live here with peace of mind."

Roy and Abt, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other. In fact, this news had a great impact on both of them.

Especially Roy.

He had just joined the temple. At this time, he heard that the temples all over the Silver Moon Kingdom were being gradually abolished...

For a trainee priest like him who is studying at the Spirit Academy while working part-time in the temple, there is really no need to leave his hometown and follow the priests to strange places.

It is very likely that after the Statue of Liberty in Castletown was abolished, he would have to find another part-time job.

When Roy looked at Abbott, it was obvious that he was not that willing to leave Castletown either.

It is estimated that Jasper is definitely not willing to go either. He is currently dating Miss Tiffany, the Naga mermaid. How could he run to such a place without the sea?
Jasper thought of Priest Andison, and became very depressed again, whispering:

"The teacher has always been worried about the loss of the Holy Grail. He feels that the decrease in the gathering in the temple is caused by the loss of the Holy Grail of Wisdom."

Priest Reed explained to the three trainee priests:
"If the Holy Light can still shine here, the lost Holy Grail of Wisdom is not really a great thing."

"Its only value is that it has witnessed the descending ceremonies of several great priests in the Temple of Liberty in Castletown. It is these descending ceremonies that leave a faint trace of incomplete divinity in the Holy Grail. The reason for condensing holy water."

"Almost every temple has an imitation of this holy grail of wisdom."

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the temple, and Priest Reed got out of the carriage wearily.

Priest Theodore followed behind, constantly wiping the sweat off his face with the silk in his hand.

Roy, Jasper, and Abbott walked at the back, discussing in low voices about the abolition of the Statue of Liberty...

……

Priest Andison's death was a great blow to Priest Reed.

Although it seems that he is still the same, he will always patiently explain the elementary magic to Roy and others...

But Roy found that he would occasionally stand by the well and stare at the mouth of the well in a daze, or sit by the pool alone, staring at the Statue of Liberty in a daze.

The four bronze mirrors are still locked in the warehouse, probably waiting for the investigators sent by the high-level temple to arrive before opening...

Priest Theodore has become much more honest in the past few days. He would stay in the temple almost every day. Unfortunately, this only lasted for three days. urban area.

Priest Theodore went out almost at noon every day, and would come back very late, and occasionally even stayed out overnight.

Now the temple is more deserted than ever...

……

For Roy, these days are very busy.

Although he has gradually adapted to the learning rhythm of the Elven Academy, the High Priest Reed is much stricter than before, and he has to keep in mind a lot of divine patterns that are stuffed into him every day, and Roy can't wait to read the entire book in half a day.

Priest Reed will explain to Roy the drawing and pronunciation of these divine patterns, which are the foundation of all divine arts.

Roy learns a lot of new knowledge every day, and the temple has almost become another place to absorb knowledge.

Roy, Jasper, and Abt had a bag of magic cores, and the polished magic crystals made the three of them invest in the renovation plan of the Black Pearl.

Of course, the three of Roy have also been taking time to clean up the dead souls on the Black Pearl during this time.

At present, only the ghosts in the torture chamber have not been dealt with, and the silt in the bilge of the Black Pearl has been completely cleaned up, and even some rotten wooden walls have been replaced with new wooden panels.

The only thing that hasn't been repaired is the round hole in the bottom of the boat.

Because everyone boarding the boat is used to walking this way...

After all the dead souls in the oar rooms on the left and right sides were purified, the three of them were cleaning the cabin on the next floor.

But this ship is too big, they are busy every day, but they only tidy up the six independent cabins behind the lower deck.

"Roy, now the ghost in the torture chamber is the only one left on board, why don't we find a way to purify it?" Jasper said while sitting on a chair in the cabin.

It's a bit stuffy here, and you'll be covered in sweat if you move casually.

Roy put away the mop in his hand, looked at the floor in the corridor that was about to wear off the paint, and was a little tired of the endless cleaning work, and said:
"I just have time now, why not do it now!"

Abt, who was cleaning the old seats in the oar room, also poked his head out, and responded: "Okay!"

The three put down the cleaning tools in their hands and walked towards the execution room.

Roy took the opportunity to cast the 'twilight lighting technique', and then manipulated the light group to float to the front, and the three of them came to the door of the execution room.

This ghost trapped in the execution room has become very irritable in the past few days. As long as there is movement at the door of the execution room, it will rush out without hesitation...

Roy hadn't learned the purification technique yet, so he stood at the front and let the holy gleam float into the torture chamber.

The ghost wandering around in the torture chamber immediately appeared under the holy light, and the aura emanating from the holy shimmer also had a burning sensation on the ghost...

This is a ghost with only the upper body, all the bones are hidden under a tattered black cloak, almost at the moment when the bone claws were raised, the sacred gleam that floated into the torture chamber exploded with a 'bang'.

When the ghost rushed towards the door, his body also quickly entered a state of invisibility...

It's just that Jasper, who was following Roy, was already prepared. He had already recited prayers when he saw the ghost. When the ghost was about to disappear, the divine pattern of the purification technique had been drawn, and the divine pattern dissipated. The beam of holy light instantly enveloped the ghost in the beam of light.

Roy hurriedly rushed into the torture chamber with the wooden hammer filled with holy light, ready to hit the ghost trapped in the light beam a few times on the top of the head.

When raising the hammer, Roy found that the ghost in the beam of light actually lit up with a light blue mana vortex, and the beam of holy light that trapped its body was extinguished extremely quickly in the blue mana vortex...
