17. Tracking

Walking out of the temple, Roy's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, and he actually learned the magic of God.

At dusk on Brown Street, the shadows of the buildings on the side of the street are stretched long, and the sun has not yet sunk into the sea, but the sea in the distance is already sparkling......

Not far from the shoreline, the water receded to its lowest point, and the reef where Roy used to fish was completely exposed.

Some elves in shabby clothes catch the sea on the beach, and almost all of them are residents who live near Brown Street.

The Statue of Liberty in the courtyard of the temple is only bathed in sunlight only on the top of the head, and other places, including the temple, are no longer exposed to sunlight.

There are very few people on the wharf, and only when the tide is high, will there be ships entering the port.

At this time, in the shallow water area of the pier, small wooden boats have run aground on the mudflats.

When the tide is low, Ms. Gillian usually rests at home.

Roy was holding two textbooks and bought a breadfruit for twenty-eight Kohler as he passed by the fruit stand.

There were five rooms of flesh on this breadfruit, which was barely enough for him and Belinda to eat for two days.

The fruit stand is doing very well, the fruit is cheap and fresh, most of the residents of Brown Street buy fruit from here, and there are often a few old elves gathered next to the stall, and everyone sits there chatting until it gets completely dark.

The evening sea breeze was a bit strong and blew Roy's hair messy.

Should have gone out with a hat, Roy thought with some chagrin.

The light was dim, and the leaves of the olive trees on the side of the street were rattling in the sea breeze.

I always feel that there is a pair of eyes staring at me behind me, and when I look back, everything is normal.

Roy felt that he might be scaring himself, and he thought a little self-deprecatingly that he was getting older and less daring......

Pedestrians pass by from time to time on the street.

Roy noticed that every time someone passed by, the feeling of being followed and watched suddenly disappeared.

That feeling would come as soon as he was the only one left around, and even around the corner, Roy could clearly hear the faint sound of footsteps.

Along the way, Roy wasn't sure if anyone was following him.

He came to the door of Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy at the corner of the street, and saw the nightbladed leopard tied to the railing in front of the store, the big cat was always wary when he saw Roy.

In the past year, Roy has been fighting with it a lot.

But this time, the Nightblade Leopard, who was lying in front of the pharmacy, was staring warily behind Roy.

Roy jerked his head back, and the street was empty, except for the whistling of the sea breeze.

The light around him was getting dimmer, and Roy didn't notice anything.

But when he turned his head, the feeling of having a pair of eyes staring at him behind him never disappeared......

Roy stood at the corner of the street and waited for a while, unable to meet an acquaintance who could accompany him.

Nightblade Leopard stared behind Roy for a moment, then yawned and shifted his gaze to Roy.

A carriage full of guests appeared on the slope and the carriage quickly stopped at the door of the pharmacy, this kind of carriage carrying passengers was more like a city bus with a fixed route, and the elves only had to pay two kollers to board the carriage and then get off wherever the carriage passed.

The route is fixed, but there are no fixed stops.

The wooden door was pulled open from the inside, and Sabrina, dressed in an apricot yellow dress, stepped out of the car with her head bowed, and took a step forward to stand firmly on the side of the street.

Then she saw Roy standing in front of the pharmacy at a glance.

She ignored it, just pressed her curly hair that was blown by the sea breeze with her hand, and walked towards the house with a book in one hand.

The sea breeze makes the big white legs wrapped in the long skirt show a slender and round silhouette.

The last time he and Sabrina were alone was when they were beaten up by Sabrina last summer, and it was when Roy woke up from a coma and found himself in a world full of magic.

Although the two had some grudges in the past......

However, it belongs to that Roy's memory.

For Roy, a lot of things are very vague.

It's like all the memories are veiled......

So now Roy chased after him without even thinking about it.

"Sabrina, wait a minute......"

He shouted at Sabrina with all his courage.

Sabrina didn't look back, but her pace slowed until Roy caught up, and then she turned her head and stared at Roy with a frown.

"Didn't Lady Gillian say she wanted you to paint the portraits of those seamen?"

Roy said with a grin as he walked ahead with Sabrina.

“…… I don't have time lately, so let's go in two days! ”

Sabrina said with a straight face, a little unnatural.

"Okay, it just so happens that I've been very busy these days......"

Roy replied casually.

At this point, the feeling of being stalked is gone.

Roy exhaled softly, thinking to himself: that person must have concealment skills, but he is not very clever, and he is very worried about being discovered.

As he walked, he looked back behind him.

The long empty street was empty......

……

Walking into his yard and seeing Sabrina enter the house without saying a word, Roy looked into the street with some vigilance.

Moira stood next to the railing of the second-floor terrace and waved at him.

Roy gestured to the door and motioned for him to come in.

Taking off his shoes and climbing the wooden staircase barefoot, Roy made his way to the second-floor terrace.

Although Moira does not like to interact with outsiders, she is not shy about Roy, and the two often stand on the terrace of their house and chat in the air.

"Roy, how did you feel on your first day of school?"

Moira asked Roy with some curiosity.

Her eyes were bright, and there were some similarities between her eyebrows with Sabrina, but more of them were delicate and delicate like the Silver Moon Elves.

She is the kind of elf girl who can easily make people feel pity, and has inherited almost all the advantages of the Silver Moon Elves except for the surprise of the color of her skin and pupils.

When she stands alone on the terrace sprinkled with moonlight, she always feels a lonely beauty.

"It's not bad, I had a new friend on the first day." Roy said.

He was still thinking about the stalker, looking out from the terrace to see if he could spot any clues.

"Roy, what are you going to learn?" Moira asked.

"Navigation, literature and history, and martial arts." Roy didn't have to think about it this time, and said directly.

"I saw you come back with Sabrina, and she finally ignored you?" Moira asked tentatively.

"Not ...... yet"

Roy had Sabrina's face on his face, and he quickly explained.

Moira grinned and asked, "Are you going to win it back?" ”

Roy just looked around, unable to hear what Moira was saying.

"What?"

"Nothing ......"

After saying that, the figure disappeared in a flash.

……

At the door of Roy's house, Ms. Belinda was holding a large paper bag in her arms and was knocking open the courtyard door with the heel of her leather shoe.

On the first day of school, Belinda rushed back to celebrate Roy and bought a large bag of food.

With blonde curly hair and a beautiful skirt, no matter how you look at it, she has the style of an urban beauty.

"Roy, look what I've brought you back!"

Ms. Belinda shouted at Roy on the terrace.

She was in a good mood, and strode into the house, threw off her boots at the doorway, and laid the paper bag on the dining table.

Roy also ran down the terrace at this time.

A blond bread rolls out of a paper bag, the elves don't like to eat this kind of cereal delicacies, apparently bought for Roy.

Roy pinched one with two fingers, put it under his nose and sniffed it, then took a bite of it.

"This croissant butter bread is really good, it's crispy on the outside, fragrant and soft on the inside, and it's filled with adzuki beans." Roy praised.

Ms. Belinda pressed Roy's shoulders with both hands, and then gave Roy a big hug, and said with emotion:

"My little Roy has finally entered the academy, where you will meet some like-minded friends and experience a lot of very interesting things, cherish this good time, and besides, you need to learn a little more knowledge, which will help you a lot in your future life......"

"Got it, thank you for all that you've done for me all these years, Mom!"

Although Ms. Belinda looked a little too young, Roy's tone was full of sincerity when she said these words.

Ms. Belinda rarely saw Roy show such an emotional side, and held Roy tightly in her arms.

Roy smells a scent of lilacs from Ms. Belinda.

Lady Belinda sat Roy down, then leaned over his face and said affectionately to him:

"Hey, I'm glad you liked that elven academy......"

……

Waiting from dusk to nightfall, the elf hiding in the darkness moved his slightly numb left leg.

My stomach began to rumble again, and I wanted to find something to eat, but I was unwilling to give up.

The half-elf must have seen him jump out of the temple wall, and might have suspected him.

He touched the dagger on his waist, thinking about whether he could sneak in with concealment, kill people silently, and then retreat......

He then discovered that it was dangerous, as there was a Silver Moon Elf living in the house.

In the face of an adult Silver Moon Elf, even if it is a soft woman, he does not dare to take it lightly, God knows what she has learned in the past two hundred years......

If you really get discovered, you can't run away if you want to.

With this in mind, the emaciated elf let his body completely shrink into the shadows.

These days he is like a rat in a well, and spends most of his time hiding in Tibet.

Originally, the elven guards let their guard down, and he would run to the village in the countryside to hide for a while.

Jefferson was killed, and the next one was himself.

The thought of this made the elven thief feel cold.

Although the old days were also difficult, they would not have been so thrilling.

I wanted to go to the tavern at the end of the street for a drink, but in the end I forcibly held back.

All of this is the fault of the Holy Grail, and now it can't get rid of it.

The elven guards were stalking everywhere, and who would have thought that these elven guards would fight for a gilded cup......

……

In the morning, before Ms. Belinda went out, she prepared a simple breakfast for Roy.

"Roy, do you want to go out with me?"

Ms. Belinda stood in the door of Roy's bedroom and asked inside.

"Wait a minute, I'll run by myself......"

Roy poked his head out of the covers and replied loudly.

When Lady Belinda went out, Roy woke up sleepy-eyed, unaware that an elven thief had been spying outside the courtyard for half the night last night.

He pinched half of the breadfruit on the plate with two fingers and swallowed it in one gulp.

drank the fruit tea on the table, and hurried out of the house with two textbooks.

The sun shone on the long street, erasing all shadows.

When I got to the corner of the street, I saw Sabrina waiting for the carriage with two books in her arms, and some other people beside her.

"Good morning, Sabrina."

Roy said hello and ran over.

Roy also thought that Sabrina would not respond as usual.

This woman is very vindictive, and although she has the upper hand in the last time of the war between the two, she is still reluctant to deal with Roy.

“…… Roy! ”

Hearing Sabrina's shout, Roy stopped.

"When do you have time, describe the group of seamen who killed Jefferson." Sabrina bit her lip and said, "This afternoon...... All right? ”

Roy thought for a moment before saying, "I don't have time in the afternoon, after dinner." ”

Having made an appointment to paint portraits of the group of seafarers who had absconded in fear of crime in the evening, Roy ran towards the Elven Academy with two books in his arms.

Retracting her somewhat complicated gaze, Sabrina turned her head to look at the sea in the other direction.

……

Entrance to the Academy, Wagner. Claire stood under a hibiscus tree, looking anxiously out into the street.

It wasn't until Roy ran into the academy gate in a sweat that he was stopped by Claire.

The two said hello and walked into the academy together.

The martial arts training ground of the Elven Academy is next to the arrow range, which is a large grass, but a large piece of grass in the central area has been trampled to death, revealing a circular dirt area, which is the primary martial arts training ground.

Roy and Claire rushed to the training ground, where there were already many elves waiting.

Everyone looked at Claire and Roy curiously, but there was noticeably more eyes on Roy.

The instructor arrived belatedly, a female elf, dressed in tight leather armor, with a belt around her waist, a sword, a quiver, and a bow behind her, and her steps were steady.

When he passed by Roy, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Roy and asked:

"Humans?"

"Half-elf, my mother is a silver moon elf."

Roy doesn't even know how many times he said this......

The female instructor stood in the middle of the training ground, beckoning the young elves who were standing loosely around her

"Come, fellow students, this is the Elementary Martial Arts Workshop, and I'm your instructor Abbott. Nora, learning elementary martial arts, there are some basic requirements for physical fitness, if some of you have too much physical fitness, it's still too late to change the course, go back and exercise well, it's not too late to learn next year! ”
