13. Academy

Hearing her say this, Roy understood that Jefferson and Lady Gillian had an unusual relationship, and he said with some remorse:

"Well, I'm guiding the crew, and I should stand up and stop them."

Lady Gillian rubbed her hand on her apron repeatedly, and then patted Roy on the shoulder and said:

"Whoever stands in front of a group of murderers will have such an instinctive reaction, Roy, it's not your fault."

Then she asked, "Do you remember the names of those foreigners?" ”

"Well, there is a magician named Benjamin, I don't remember the names of the others, and I don't understand the imperial Chinese they speak."

Roy said to Miss Gillian.

The fish market was noisy, and no one cared what they were talking about.

Ms. Gillian has high eyebrows that make her look handsome, a leather apron, often exposed to wind and rain, pale freckles on her cheekbones, and a little too rough on her hands.

She also held a short dagger in her hand for killing fish, and the tuna of more than 100 catties on the fish stall was almost sold out.

Lady Gillian wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, turned to her eldest daughter and asked:

"Sabrina, did you take an elective course in Fine Arts and Sculpture at the Academy?"

"Yes! What's wrong, Mom? Sabrina looked up and replied.

The summer heat is very heavy, and I can already see her white face blush at this moment.

"If you have time, you go to Roy and ask Roy to describe what they look like, and you can make some portraits of them." Miss Gillian said casually.

Sabrina frowned and whispered:

"According to the dictation, it may not look like this."

Lady Gillian sighed softly, glanced at her somewhat reluctant daughter, and said:

"It's not like it's okay, I just think that everyone is dead, and there should always be something left, maybe when it will be used in the future."

Sabrina hesitated, glanced at Roy, and saw that he didn't react before agreeing, "Okay." ”

At this time, Lady Gillian turned to Roy and asked:

"Roy, would you like to help us?"

Roy stood behind the fish stall and couldn't help but complain in his heart: You didn't ask me if I wanted to talk to Sabrina just now! But at the end, I have to ask, what is this......

Although Roy thought so in his heart, he said quickly:

"Ahh Of course no problem......"

It seems that Jefferson, who died in the tavern, really had something to do with Lady Gillian, so it was no wonder that Moira had said such a sad thing last night.

Surdak's gaze inadvertently fell on Sabrina's slender white legs, and he was immediately spotted by the alert Sabrina, who glared at him fiercely.

Roy rubbed his nose and immediately looked away......

……

Many of the buildings in the Statue of Liberty are old, including many of the doors and windows in the temple.

There is a large gap between the windows.

In order to prevent these windows from falling off, these windows are almost all nailed to the window frames, and even if they were originally hinged, they cannot be opened at all.

Roy's closet was filled with a strong musty smell, and the wooden board behind it was even covered with some mold spots.

In the past, Roy had only passed by the street at the entrance of the temple, and the temple gate and the statue in the courtyard looked quite bright.

But now that he has become a trainee priest of the Statue of Liberty, he found that the temple is so dilapidated that it has even decayed.

This row of small two-story buildings near the main hall is the dormitory of the priests, and the two probationary priests are still in the courtyard in front of them.

The three priests sat around a round table in the study, and the room was a little dimly lit, and the sunlight shone through the cracks in the wooden door, forming several beams of light in the dimly lit room.

The privacy of this room is quite good, although the wooden door looks tattered, but there are many precious books in the room, and some protective magic circles were set up at the beginning.

Priest Reed sat down at the round table, frowned, and whispered:

"Felix. After Priest Mitchell entered the Kingdom of God, the temples in the elven world were constantly decreasing, and now the temples in the major regions of the elven world were even more difficult. ”

"Is there a problem with the funding?" The young priest Addison asked suspiciously.

Priest Reed shook his head slightly and said:

"Most of the funding for our Statue of Liberty comes from the output of some territory, and funding is not the biggest problem for us."

The priest Theodore on the other side knew some of the inside information, and then he heard him say:

"The Moon Temple only respects His Majesty Mitchell, but it doesn't have any good feelings for us priests, and in some places, the elven nobles have collectively boycotted the followers of the Lady of Liberty a long time ago, refusing to hire the believers of the Lady of Liberty to work for them, but this has not happened in Castletown City for the time being."

The young priest Addison asked puzzled:

"We're just absorbing the marginals of the elven world, or are we abandoned by the Moon Temple, why should they reject us?"

Priest Reed touched his forehead and said, "This kind of battle for the temple without gunpowder has never stopped......"

"And it seems that the goddess has been difficult to take care of the elven world recently, and it is estimated that the divine war is not going well."

"There is news from above, a large number of priests on the Roland Continent have begun to go to the dark place to participate in the divine war."

At this point, the air in the whole room was stagnant.

Obviously, the three priests had some psychological preparation.

However, when they heard Priest Reed say this openly, their faces changed.

"Does the Bishop's side want us to go to war too?" Theodore asked Archpriest Reed.

Seeing that Priest Reed acquiesced, Priest Theodore's emotions were a little excited:

"But our manpower here is only enough for the basic operation of the temple, where can we draw out the priests to participate in the divine war!"

Priest Reed took out a piece of letterhead, and the stamp on it was the Statue of Liberty.

"The worst-case scenario might be to leave a probationary priest to guard the temple, or simply abandon it, which is already being done." ”

"Now this is not the biggest trouble for us, even if we give up the temple!"

Priest Reed paused, his gaze falling on Theodore and Andison's faces.

"The biggest trouble we are facing at the moment is the theft of the Holy Grail, which has no power, but it is a sacred weapon baptized by the goddess, and only by carrying the Holy Grail into the dark places will you not lose your way in that world."

Hearing Priest Reed say this, Priest Theodore's face also collapsed......

"Damn, who stole the Holy Grail?"

……

On the day of the opening of the Elven Academy, Roy came to the gate of the Academy alone.

It was already crowded with new students who had come to register.

In fact, the threshold for entering this academy is very low, only four thousand Kohlers are required, and anyone can study in it.

Of course, room and board and study materials are not included......

After entering the college, each student needs to take a minimum of three subjects per year, and can only choose a maximum of six subjects, and all subjects are required to take a defense exam at the end of the semester, once the grade is rated as C-, then this will be considered as a failure.

In this case, you will need to retake the subject in the following year, unless you voluntarily give up and change to another subject, or you will have to repeat it until the final tutor determines that you are qualified.

Of course, even if you retake the subject, the tuition fee of 4,000 Kohler per year is still fixed.

If there is a student who has enough experience and can arrange the order of each subject in a reasonable order, of course, the more subjects taken each semester, the better......

But in the Elf Academy, almost most of the elf students work part-time to complete their studies.

In other words, they will work part-time to earn money first, and then go to school to pay for tuition and living expenses.

During the school year, I will continue to work part-time, and in addition to maintaining my daily expenses, I will also have to save up for next year's tuition.

The benefits of this open system are clear, at least when students spend their hard-earned money to study, they will be very attentive to lectures.

Otherwise, if you fail the final exam, you may have to buy more orders for yourself if you retake it next year.

In addition, if students want to successfully graduate from Castletown Elf Academy, they must have at least sixty subjects approved by their instructors.

In other words, students who graduate from here as quickly as possible will have to study here for at least ten years.

The vast majority of part-time students only enroll in three subjects each year, so that they can free up some of their time to work off-campus.

However, this means that it may take twenty years for this group of students to graduate from the academy.

Of course, this amount of time is not much for the elves......

Roy followed the crowd into the academy gates, and among the many young elves was a guy who looked like a human, which was somewhat discordant.

Roy didn't know the elves either, huddled in the crowd and headed to the check-in location.

At this time, it is inevitable to regret a little, I knew that so many people would have come later.

The grass in front of the academy tower was still very large, and many elves lined up on the grass here, and Roy was honestly lined up.

With the four thousand Kohlers that Ms. Belinda had prepared for him, Roy waited in line under the scorching sun for nearly two hours before he could pay the tuition, and then received his student number and a voucher.

Immediately after that, Roy followed the crowd into the lobby of the main building.

New students can fill in the subjects here, so of course the sooner you come here, the better.

Because there is an upper limit to the number of people in each discipline, a little slower pace may not be able to get a good subject.

Roy stood in front of the rows of parchment hanging from the ropes, looking at the introductions of the various subjects, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment, because he really hadn't thought about what he was going to learn before.
