Roy had become accustomed to the days of eating dinner alone.

The elves' dinner was simple, usually just a plate of fruit or a fish, and Roy only ate an apple tonight.

Ms. Gillian's next-door neighbor's elf was very mischievous, and threw the small conch picked up from the beach into Ms. Gillian's yard as pebbles, and then burrowed into her yard without looking back.

The bear kid didn't dare to mess with Roy because Roy had beaten him twice.

His grandmother is an elf woman who is not easy to mess with, and the last time she found Ms. Belinda, Roy was punished by Ms. Belinda for brushing the floor for a month.

Little pointed ears peek out by the wall, peeking at Moira squatting in the yard picking up conch.

Moira turned her head to see that he was running back into the house like a frightened rabbit without looking back.

"Hey, Katie Werner, let me catch you again, be careful if I kick you in the ass." Roy shouted through the window.

Katie Werner was born in the same year as Roy, but Roy's childhood was much shorter than Katie Werner's.

Now, Roy looks like a young man, but Katie Werner is still only seven or eight years old.

"Roy, I'm not afraid of you......"

Katie Werner screamed at Roy from across a yard.

Moira stood in the courtyard, arranging her hair, which had been tossed by the sea breeze, and without saying a word, she put the conch she had picked up into a wooden bucket by the wall.

It's as if life is back to the way it used to be.

……

It's a rare time for Ms. Belinda to be home before dinner.

No matter where she goes, she is so energetic......

Standing next to the doorway and seeing Roy sitting on the sofa in the living room munching on an apple, Ms. Belinda took off her crystal sandals, trotted quickly to Roy, hugged Roy with both hands, and kissed him on the forehead.

She was a Silver Moon Elf who was only three hundred years old, and she was still a young man among the elves.

After having Roy, he gradually began to adapt to the role of mother.

"Roy, how are the past two days, I heard that there was a murder on Brown Street, and the security in Downtown is really worrying......"

Roy closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against Ms. Belinda's lower abdomen, the only way to ease a little embarrassment.

Roy still enjoys this mother's love.

"It's all right, but when those crew members were killing, I happened to be next to them, and I was there to be a guide for them, and I didn't expect them to clash with Jefferson......"

Roy described the incident to Ms. Belinda, who turned pale with fright, and her blue eyes were full of worry.

"You're going to the Elven Academy next week, or we're going to rent a house in Uptown, and you can just move in there, so you can be closer to the Academy." Ms. Belinda said.

She felt that by living in Uptown, at least the security problem could be guaranteed.

The reason why Ms. Belinda moved here in the first place, in addition to the fact that life here is not so stressful, another reason is that there are many half-blood elves living here, and only they will not discriminate against Roy's half-elf status.

If he lived in Uptown, I don't know how many white eyes Roy would suffer, and if he didn't know how much he would have suffered, he would be like Moira, the youngest daughter of Ms. Gillian next door, who is introverted and autistic.

Roy thought of the work of the Cadet Priest of the Statue of Liberty, shook his head very resolutely, and said to Miss Belinda:

"It's good to live here, I can take care of myself."

He didn't want to dwell too much on this topic, so he quickly changed the topic:

"How's the work going at the museum?"

Speaking of work, Ms. Belinda's attention was immediately diverted, and she leaned back on the sofa a little tiredly, hammered her hand on her aching shoulder, and said:

"Recently, the museum is in a hurry to attend the opening exhibition of the festival in Buenos City, and there are two sculptures in a rough state, and it will be almost enough to be busy for two weeks......"

"If you're busy, I'll go to the Elven Academy on Monday to report on my own." Roy said.

Looking at the young man in front of him, it was as if he had suddenly grown up.

Ms. Belinda rubbed Roy's hair vigorously and said with relief, "My Roy has grown up, not only has his own ideas, but has also become more independent. ”

……

While Ms. Belinda was taking a shower downstairs, Roy went to the terrace.

It has become a habit to run up to Roy every day after dinner whenever he has time.

Moira can also be seen on the opposite terrace, and it is unknown when Roy gained Moira's trust.

This introverted and autistic elf girl is willing to chat with Roy after dinner.

Moira tells Roy about what happened on the docks today:

The five-masted galleons hurried away at high tide in the afternoon.

Roy knew that he was probably worried about the elven patrolmen getting into trouble with the crew, so the captain had sailed out of port in such a hurry.

Being able to sneak out for a drink just after the ship has stopped, and to be able to choose to live in a hotel, these crew members can't be ordinary crew members no matter how they look at it.

It is estimated that the ship was not fully stocked with daily supplies, let alone the cargo and trade of the port of Castletown.

However, this group of crew members killed a half-blood elf and left calmly, obviously taking advantage of the laws of the Silver Moon Elf Country, and I have to say that the laws made by the elves are such 'tolerant'.

During the investigation and evidence collection, suspects were not detained, and the crew members were protected by diplomatic immunity so that they could hide on board.

Now that the group has left the dock by boat, it may be even more difficult to capture them.

Moira leaned her back against the balcony railing, leaned her hands on the railing, and said in a very low voice:

"I heard he was just drunk......"

"He is usually used to petty theft, but in fact, he doesn't have to live such a sloppy life."

"Mother said that he was not like this before, he was a nobleman of the Dark Moon Elves who was banished to Castletown, and at the beginning of those years he waited with great anticipation, hoping that the north would be pardoned for his crimes, maybe he waited too long, and gradually gave up, and then he became addicted to alcohol, and as long as he got drunk, it was like becoming a different person."

Roy was a little speechless.

Listening to what Moira said, I couldn't think that this Jefferson was Moira's father, but this father was a little incompetent.

Then it occurred to me that Ms. Belinda was not raised by herself, which made Roy a little puzzled, are all men in the elf world like this?

Moira would often talk to him about it.

Occasionally, on a moonless night, he would secretly ask him to run to the beach by the sea and scatter, leaving a series of shallow footprints on the beach with his beautiful feet, and then being submerged and dissipated by the rising tide.

It was only at night that Moira's courage grew a little bigger.

Sabrina always thinks that Roy is cheating on Moira, so she never gives him any good looks.

Roy suddenly regretted that if he had taken the initiative to stand up, he might have been able to stop that completely unnecessary conflict......

During the night, Roy had some bizarre dreams.

I didn't sleep well all night, and when I woke up in the morning, I had big dark circles under my eyes.

Before leaving, Ms. Belinda left him a breakfast.

……

Walking into the Temple of Liberty, probably because the theft on the temple's side has not yet ended, the entire temple looks very deserted.

If it were normal times, there should be a rally this morning.

Looks like it should have been canceled temporarily.

Trainee Priest Jasper was standing by the pool in front of the statue of Liberty in the courtyard in front of the temple with a hand-copying net, scooping up the leaves inside.

The yard has been cleaned up.

Jasper greeted Roy with a smile when he saw Roy walking in through the door: "Good morning, Roy......"

"Good morning, Jasper! Can I help you? ”

Roy said as he strode forward, saying as he went.

"No...... No! With only such a little work, there is nothing to do today anyway, and I can move a little before going to prayer class. ”

Jasper smiled and winked at Roy after he finished speaking, stopping Roy's kind gesture, and it seemed that he really liked the job.

Seeing that he really didn't need help, Roy went to his lounge and changed into the robe of the trainee priest in the room.

The person on duty in front of the main hall today was Officer Anderson, and Roy took the initiative to say hello.

Priest Anderson pointed to the second floor of the townhouse behind the bell tower and told Roy, "Priest Reed will be teaching prayer in that room today, Roy, you can go directly to him." ”

Roy walked up to the second floor, and while standing in the cloister, he heard the voice of Priest Reed coming from the room.

Since the palm of his hand can light up with a ball of holy light, Roy is still full of expectations for learning divine arts.

Standing at the door knocked on the door.

'Knock knock'

"Come in ......"

Priest Reed's voice came out again.

Roy pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Priest Reed stood at a desk, and directly across from him sat Trainee Priest Abt, with a thick book in his hand, almost with his head buried in the pages, and was honestly reciting the sacred prayer.

Seeing Roy walk in from outside, Abt popped up from behind the book and winked at Roy.

Priest Reed gestured to the empty seat next to Abt and motioned for Roy to sit down.

Roy had just become a probationary priest yesterday, and it was very gratifying for Priest Reed to be able to come over and study today......

"Roy, you came just in time, I just want to teach the two of them some prayers today, you can also listen to them, of course you are a beginner, these prayers are still too profound for you, you can learn a few simple ones first." Priest Reed said to Roy.

After speaking, he took a sip of black tea, and then said to Roy:

"Magicians need to meditate to gather mana, and we priests need to pray sincerely to obtain the power of the Light, so prayer is an indispensable part of our daily life."

"Your spiritual power is still very weak, you can't learn divine art yet, you just need to strengthen the training of mental power, and reciting this sacred prayer should help you the most."

Roy took a very heavy copper book, with a portrait of Lady Liberty on the cover, and the title of the book was: 'Sacred Prayer'.

It seems that this should be an introductory book for probationary priests...... Roy thought to himself.

In fact, Priest Reed has no bottom in his heart, and even he has been the same recently, no matter how much he prays, he can't connect with the goddess, and he can't get her revelations and oracles, and even the casting of magic has been greatly affected.

"Gather these lights...... Can you strengthen your mental power? Roy asked.

"That's true, but everyone chooses to recite a different prayer, and you don't have to stick to any one prayer, you can try to recite a few simple words first, as long as you can condense the holy light, it is good, and it also means that the prayer is very compatible with you." Priest Reed explained to Roy.

Seeing that Roy was listening very carefully, he said again:

"When you recite the prayers, they will turn into tiny clusters of light and store them in your body, usually all over your body, and when you perform your magic, you will consume the power of these holy lights."

"And when the holy light in your body is exhausted, these magic spells will not be able to be cast."

"I'll focus on how to use magic in the future. But what you need to do now is to condense and accumulate these lights, and only when your body becomes a vessel for the light can you cast a more powerful magic. ”

"There is too little holy light in your hand, and when you condense the light flame in your palm to so much, you can barely learn a simple divine technique 'Shimmer Illumination'." Priest Reed held out his hand, and a ball of light the size of an egg appeared in his palm.

"The main function of this magic is that it can dispel the darkness, of course, it also has a little bit of healing power, but it is too weak to be negligible."

Roy glanced at Priest Reed and asked seriously:

"Priest Reed, is the recitation of the 'Sacred Prayer' meant to introduce a faint ball of light into the body?"

"That's right......"

So for the whole morning, Roy sat in this room with a copy of the 'Sacred Prayer' in his hand, reading it so dry that he could not condense a trace of the power of the Holy Light.

These prayers are in Elven language, and they are not too difficult for Roy.

The only thing that made him feel irritated was that he didn't feel the power of the Light at all in this prayer.

On the contrary, when the faint light in the palm of his right hand lit up, those faint light clusters that were floating in his hands were actually involved in the light clusters.

I have to say that the room of this Statue of Liberty is filled with a lot of holy light.

Normally, when he was at home, he wouldn't be able to condense these light clusters so easily.

By noon, the flame of light in Roy's palm, the size of a firefly, had become slightly larger than a chickpea.

And the light cluster in Roy's palm was like an embryo, and even showed a little bud tip.

"Well done......"

Priest Reed saw that the light in Roy's palm had actually grown a little bigger, and praised him.

At the end of class, Priest Reed stopped Roy.

"Roy, are you going to the Elven Academy next week?"

"Yes, Priest Reed."

"You can call me teacher in class,"

"Okay, teacher!"

Priest Reed hesitated, but said:

"If you have enough spare time, I would like to ask you to help me investigate something, I think you have probably heard that the Holy Grail in front of the holy pool in the temple was lost a few days ago, and it has not been recovered in the past few days, you can tell me privately if you find any clues in the Elven Academy."

"I'll look into it carefully...... Teacher. ”

Roy readily agreed.
