28. Divine arts
They didn't go to the academy, but under Claire's leadership, they came to the back street of the elf academy.
The whole street here is filled with various shops, and there is also a small flea market inside.
Claire found a pharmacy, and some of the students on the street stared at them with strange eyes, which made Claire feel a little ashamed, and she couldn't help but lower her head so as not to be recognized by acquaintances.
After entering the pharmacy and sitting on the stool in front of the counter, Claire felt alive again.
At least in front of the apothecary, he didn't need to hide the bruises on his face.
"Two secondary life potions...... Oh no! Let's have two normal life potions! ”
Claire said to the apothecary.
The apothecary, an elven mage, stood behind the counter in an apricot-colored magic robe, looking at Claire and Roy with some surprise.
At Claire's request, she turned around and took two bottles of pale red potions from the shelf behind her.
"If you want an ice pack, it's free!"
The owner of the pharmacy said casually.
"To ......"
"One hundred and twenty Kohler." The pharmacy owner quotes the price.
Claire paid and handed Roy a bottle of potion, and the apothecary owner handed over two ice packs wrapped in gauze.
Roy had seen the ice he had just condensed with his magic, each the size of a palm, and he casually found a piece of gauze wrapped in it from under the cabinet.
Although there was an apothecary on the street from Brown Street, Roy had seen these magic potions for the first time.
This is a test tube-shaped bottle with a cork at the mouth of the bottle, but in fact, there is a wax seal on the stopper, and there is only a thin layer, which is not close to it and cannot be seen at all.
"The life potion is not very helpful in removing blood stasis and reducing swelling, if you want to recover quickly, it is better to go to the Moon Temple and ask for a cup of life tree sap, otherwise the effect of the water magic hydrotherapy is also very good." The pharmacy owner rolled his eyes and said to Claire.
"Can you perform two hydrotherapy sessions for us? I'm willing to pay you. Claire immediately understood, and asked the pharmacy boss.
"Fifty Kohler, of course." The owner of the pharmacy squinted his eyes and smiled at Claire and said, "Now that the pharmacy is getting worse and worse, it is not easy to maintain it. ”
Claire was quick to pay for it.
The apothecary owner leads Claire and Roy to the back of a curtain that has not only a single bed, but also a bench.
Claire and Roy sat down on the bench and watched as the apothecary owner took a fir staff out of a drawer, and then stood in front of them like a conductor.
When he raised his staff, the owner of the apothecary, who had been a little wooden, seemed to be a different person, exuding an inexplicable aura all over his body.
Roy could feel that something must be flowing from the tip of the staff, but he couldn't see it.
As the apothecary owner uttered a fluent incantation, a sparkling light shrouded Claire's body......
"Oh, what is this...... It hurts! ”
Claire screamed, and Roy saw a series of silver sparkling light like tiny blisters enveloping Claire, disappearing after a few seconds.
The hydrotherapy seemed to be very painful for Claire, but to Roy's great surprise, the bruises on Claire's face were dissipating at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
The proprietor of the apothecary said with some smugness, "Look, I dare say there is no magic better than hydrotherapy to get rid of bruises." ”
With that, he raised his staff again and aimed it at Roy.
Roy asked Claire a little apprehensively, "Does it hurt?" ”
Before Claire could say the answer, a string of tiny blisters landed on Roy's body, and this time Roy didn't even hear the spell......
Instantaneous.
Roy only felt that his body was like being twisted countless times by countless hands, and the pain was obviously between the flesh and skin, but it made people feel an unbearable pain.
"What the ......"
The apothecary's owner dropped his wand into a drawer, pulled back the curtain and returned to the counter.
Roy and Claire, two troubled brothers, endured their physical discomfort and walked out of the pharmacy.
At this time, Roy was thinking that if he learned secondary healing, then he might not have to spend money on magic potions after a fight, and he might not even need hydrotherapy.
I don't know if it will hurt as much as hydrotherapy after the 'secondary healing' is cast.
Back at the temple, ask Jasper and Abt.
However, it was evident that the bruises and swelling on their faces and bodies were rapidly receding.
Except for a little pain, the effect is quite good.
Walking out of the pharmacy, Claire sat on a bench on the side of the street, and complained with a bitter face:
"This is what you call the Bright Sword?"
Roy still held the bottle of life potion in his hand, and said as a matter of course:
"Yes, if they dare to find them again, we will beat the first one together, and we will return how they beat us. Since it's a fight, what's there to be afraid of, let the horse come...... Shhh ”
When Roy waved his hand, the strain on his big arm hurt him and he grinned.
Hearing Roy say this, Claire, who originally felt that she had suffered a loss, regained her vitality and said with some excitement:
"That's right, I just hit Steve's eyes blue, it's so happy, if he dares to trouble us again, we'll beat him up, go back and I'll practice the dismantling moves I learned today, and if I dare to come back, we'll fight back, and I'll get some life tree sap at night......"
Before Claire could finish speaking, she saw Roy holding his two books again and running briskly towards the street.
"Hey, Roy, where are you going?" Claire asked, standing behind.
Roy turned around and said:
"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'll go first."
As he spoke, he quickened and ran out, and a carriage drove far away from the street.
Roy ran over breathlessly, just in time to board the stopped carriage, then poked his head out of the carriage and waved vigorously at Claire.
Claire stood in place, and when she followed her sister in the past, she always felt that Steve, who was older than him, was also a ruthless character in the younger generation, but now that she thinks about it, she finds that Steve doesn't seem to be so scary.
Looking at the light leather armor stained with blood stained by a tear on the sleeve, Claire felt that she really should drink a cup of life tree sap to replenish it......
……
Sitting in the carriage, as he passed through the lower town, Roy looked at the scenery speeding by on both sides of the street, and was a little dazed.
I didn't expect the thief who stole the Holy Grail to die, Roy was a little stunned when he heard the news in the morning, but he stole the Holy Grail of the Temple, even if he was caught, if the stolen items were returned, according to the lenient laws of the Elf Country, the light was to bring an iron ring to his finger that could not be removed, and the heavier one would be put in prison and squatted for a while.
There is no reason to die anyway......
Now that Roy had found out that things had gone a little wrong, the elven thief Peleus had run to the tavern at noon that day, perhaps to see Jefferson, and Roy was sure that the package in his hand at that time was probably the Holy Grail.
But now! The elven thieves Peleus and Jefferson are both dead, and the whereabouts of the Holy Grail are unknown.
The trail of the Holy Grail was thus broken.
The carriage stopped at the Darne River Bridge at the intersection of Brown Street, and Roy stepped out of the carriage and walked down Brown Street towards the Statue of Liberty.
In the afternoon, there was nothing to do at the temple, and I was probably going to study magic in the study.
Roy came to the temple gate, and sure enough, he found that the temple's large iron door was closed.
At the entrance of the temple, there was actually a gorgeous carriage, not only with gold and silver patterns, but also with a thick layer of gelatinous resin wrapped around the wheels.
Trying to push open the small door next to it, Roy walked into the temple vestibule.
As he passed by the main hall of the temple, Roy faintly heard someone talking in the hall of the main temple.
"How can it go on like this!"
Priest Addison's voice reached Roy's ears, and Roy was startled, and his voice was a little hoarse.
Then the voice of Priest Theodore came out:
"Did the High Priest reply there?"
Grand Priest Reed replied:
"The messenger won't be so fast, I'm afraid it will be a few days to wait. Andison, you have to pay more attention to rest lately, I feel that your form is a little unstable. ”
Priest Addison's voice came:
"There is always a price to pay for maintaining miracles, don't worry, just rest for a few days."
"I'm in a hurry, let's go first!" The voice of Priest Theodore.
Roy had just walked to the well when he saw Priest Theodore, dressed in red and white robes, walking briskly to the door of the temple and boarding the carriage at the door.
……
Roy came to the break room, the probationary priest's robe that he had washed yesterday had dried.
Roy changed into a midshipman's robe and went to the study.
Jasper and Abt were in the study silently praying when Roy walked in, and they both opened their eyes one after another.
Jasper couldn't hide anything in his heart, and when he saw Roy, he said to him:
"Roy, do you know that the thief who stole the Holy Grail was found, and he was killed in the stinking ditch in the lower city, but the Holy Grail was not recovered......
Abt also interjected at this time:
"I heard that someone witnessed the whole process of the thief's theft, and even asked the painter to draw a portrait and give it to the guards, so that they locked on the target and caught it, but unfortunately they were finally caught...... They are all dead. ”
"Really? Is there a new clue to the Holy Grail? Roy asked curiously.
"I don't know yet, but it seems that the guard station is planning to put this case on hold."
Jasper whispered, feeling that prayer was useless, and he couldn't gather much power of holy light, so he simply took a book from the shelf, which happened to be the 'Blessing of Strength' that Roy learned yesterday.
"I found out that this magic is actually very good, why didn't I notice it before?" Jasper said with some chagrin.
"In the future, you want to be like Roy, and be inspired to be a combat officer?" Abt asked, somewhat surprised.
Jasper smiled, his smile a little obscene, not at all like what a probationary priest should look like.
"I don't want to be so tired, I want to be a priest, if I can go one step further, I want to be a priest......," Jasper said.
Abt was even more puzzled and asked, "Then why do you want to learn 'Blessing of Strength'?" ”
Jasper pushed the book in front of Abt, turned to the page of the commentary, and said triumphantly:
"Didn't you notice that this magic technique can increase the strength of the whole body, although twenty minutes is a bit short, but it is barely enough......"
