36. Cross-examination

Seeing the familiar face of the elf patrol, Roy could only show a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly:

"I don't want to do that either, but trouble keeps coming, no matter what...... I still want to thank you both, if I hadn't met you here, I might have been dragged into the sea by that guy to turn into fertilizer. ”

Under the heavy fog, the sound of the waves in the distance made Roy a little uncomfortable, and it always felt that the Naga killer was hiding nearby.

"Did you see the Naga killer?" The elven patrol asked Roy.

"See." Roy replied honestly.

The elven patrol opened the book and wanted to record some details, so he asked again:

"What does he look like?"

Roy hesitated: "He looks ...... Aren't all the men of the Naga Sea tribe having similar faces? ”

It's really indescribable, covered in scales, with an abominable face, and a fishtail on the human body......

Aren't all Naga males like this?

"That's ...... too"

The other elven patrol had some understanding of Roy's difficulties......

Subsequently, the elven patrolman, who had already seen Roy twice, recorded in his notebook: Naga Hai clan, adult male, 350 cm long, holding a delicate short dagger, strong body, and experience in killing.

The elven patrol looked at Roy and asked him:

"Did he say anything to you?"

Roy thought carefully for a moment before hesitating, "No...... Does a roar count? ”

The elven patrol looked at Roy a little speechless.

"Roy, did you know that two more human seafarers died on the beach last night?"

"I don't know."

"Why did he find you?" The Elven Patrol then asked.

Roy made a gesture without comment:

"Maybe I'm fishing around here a lot."

The Elven Ranger approached Roy and whispered a warning to him:

"You must have provoked them somewhere, and let me tell you, they are extremely vindictive, as long as they are targeted, they will not die, you better be careful in the near future, okay, you can leave."

"Got it, sir." Roy agreed.

If you don't leave, you will probably be late for school.

Roy struggled to his feet, and the two elven guards got out of the way, and he limped off the beach.

……

Walking back down Brown Street, the fog that permeated the street had begun to dissipate.

There was still a group of elves standing at the apothecary at the corner of the street, and the proprietor of the apothecary, Mrs. Winnie, was in the middle of the crowd, and the Nightblade Leopard was prostrate at her feet, occasionally flicking its whip-like tail.

When Roy passed by on the other side, he didn't even look at Roy.

The elves in front of the group of apothecaries were also discussing what had just happened, and ignored Roy who passed by the opposite street......

If they looked closer, they would see that Roy was still wearing the blood-stained ragged clothes.

Back home, Roy briefly treated the wound.

The Elven Patrol had already helped him stop the bleeding from the wound, and he just wrapped it in strips of linen.

He changed into clean clothes, and without going to the temple for treatment, he hurried to the street.

A carriage had just stopped at the corner of the street, and Roy ran two steps before he was the last one to squeeze into it......

He had linen wrapped around his neck and arms, but fortunately there were still vacant seats in the long row of benches in the carriage, so he chose a corner and sat down, and he could hear someone in the carriage talking:

'Did you hear that Naga killer came out and killed people again last night......

……

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Elven Academy, and Roy got out of the carriage at the back of the crowd.

Just before class, the entrance of the academy seemed to be very lively, and a large number of elf students poured into the academy.

Roy was about to join the class when Claire jumped out of nowhere and reached out and slapped Roy's injured arm.

"Roy, you've missed your appointment!"

Claire said with some anger:

"I've been waiting for you here all morning, and you're almost ready for class!"

Roy almost cried out, and he hurriedly hugged the injured arm and said to Claire:

"If I hadn't been lucky enough this morning, chances would you never have seen me again, but I do apologize for being late this morning!"

At this time, Claire saw that Roy had linen bandages wrapped around his neck and arms, and some blood was oozing from the bandages around his arms.

Claire immediately thought of Steve, the common enemy of the two, and said angrily:

"Was that Steve's hand on you?"

Roy saw the elves at the gate of the academy hurrying towards the campus, guessing that it must be time for class to come soon. Instructor Nora asked him to run two laps around the training ground, and this time he had to run until the end of the class in one go......

So he motioned for the two to go to the academy together, while explaining:

"It's not him, I don't know what's going on, recently there was a Naga near my house, and I was targeted by him."

Claire said with concern, "Nagahai...... Are you okay then? ”

"If you have something, you can't still come to class." Roy said casually.

As if thinking of something, Claire lowered her head and groped around her belt, unexpectedly pulling out two bottles of Tree of Life sap from her belt.

God knows how he managed to stick an entire bottle of Tree of Life sap in his belt.

"It just so happens that I brought two more bottles of Life Tree sap for you!" Claire said very generously.

Roy looked at the two bottles of Life Tree sap that were still pale green, and although this Life Tree sap had been diluted, it was not diluted to the kind that Roy usually drank......

It should be a special provision for the nobles, and it must be expensive.

"It's better for you to keep it for yourself, I'm a half-elf, and drinking the sap of the tree of life is only half effective, I have another way." Roy refused.

Claire looked at the sap of the Tree of Life in her hand, and although she was a little surprised by Roy's refusal, she didn't persuade her, but added:

"Would you like to drink some life potion?"

"I still have it!"

After Roy finished speaking, he took out the corked test tube bottle from his pocket and shook the pale red liquid inside......

As they spoke, the two of them had already walked into the academy.

Walking across a lawn to the training ground, the bell had not yet rang and many students were gathered waiting for class.

Everyone got together in twos and threes.

Some people are chatting, and some people are still discussing the dismantling of martial arts.

……

As soon as Roy and Claire sat down in the corner of the training ground, Steve actually walked up from behind with a few friends.

They saw Roy and Claire at the school gate.

Because it was on campus, Steve didn't plan to ignore the two of them, but then he saw Claire take out two bottles of Life Tree sap from her magic belt, and muttered to Roy along the way, and later Roy even pulled out another bottle of Life Potion......

What is this behavior? It was obvious that the two of them were studying the midday fight, and even had the recovery and healing potions ready early......

Steve followed the two of them all the way, until they sat down on the lawn in the corner of the training ground, and then walked up with his friend and sarcastically said to Claire:

"You guys are really good enough, in order to deal with me, you even prepared the sap of the tree of life and the healing potion......"

Before he could finish speaking, Steve saw the bandages on Roy's body, and even the linen bandages wrapped around Roy's body through the neckline.

Claire stood up unceremoniously and said to Steve:

"Steve, if you want to fight, see you at the old place......"

"Forget it, give you a few days to recuperate." Steve turned around, intending to leave with his friends.

But after taking two steps, Steve suddenly stopped, then turned to Claire and said:

"As an elegant, noble, and tasteful Silver Moon Elf, I am very much against this kind of street fighting, Claire, since the grievances between us cannot be resolved, do you dare to find a time to settle them in the gladiatorial arena? Only those who win can stand and walk out! ”

"What don't you dare, I'll definitely beat you down when the time comes!" Not to be outdone, Claire said.

Claire has been fighting for the past two days.

Steve's words completely stirred up his fighting spirit.

Although Claire's body still couldn't help but tremble when he said these words, his momentum was not weak at all.

"Then it's a deal." Steve smiled smugly.

That's what he wants.

Elven young nobles often have conflicts with each other because of some trivial things, and the gladiatorial arena is to solve some irreconcilable contradictions.

Of course, the lives of the elves are very precious.

In the gladiatorial arena, it is basically to beat the opponent until he lies on the ground and can't get up.

Steve originally wanted to bully Claire in the elementary martial arts training class, but he didn't expect this usually soft-looking Wagner. Claire is so bloody in her bones.

He stood in front of Claire and said to him with a smile:

"Claire, to be honest, I'm actually quite surprised, I didn't expect the most timid bunny in Claire's family to have the courage to fight......"

"That's not all you expected." Claire replied.

In this elementary martial arts training class, Roy was injured in his body, so he couldn't do some actions, so he could only remember them.

He didn't even pass the coherent movements of the first martial arts, and this time because he was injured, which affected the learning of the second set of moves, and Instructor Nora had already begun to prepare to take care of him.

This also made Roy a little worried, but he was most worried about the Naga killer......

After Instructor Nora finished the second set of dismantling actions, before the end of class, Roy finally managed to get next to Instructor Nora and asked her for advice very humbly.

Like what...... When someone attacks him from behind, what kind of means does he have to fight back?

Another example...... When someone grabs him by the neck, how should he fight back and break free......

Instructor Nora glanced at the bandages around Roy's neck and arms before answering these questions.

After a little thought, he finally taught Roy two simple and effective ways to counterattack.
