56. Alive

In front of the grocery store across the dock from the shallow water, Jasper, covered in wounds, sat against the wall.

Finally, the grocery store owner still had a good conscience, and took a blanket from the room and wrapped it around him, and Jasper had a dark purple lump on his chest, the same wound left by the crew stabbing him in the chest with a pole.

He now feels a burning pain in his chest every time he breathes.

The sea breeze blew in the night, and he pulled the blanket that was draped over him.

……

Roy limped over from the deep-water dock and caught a glimpse of Jasper sitting against the wall.

Came to Jasper and squatted down, put his hands around his shoulders and said excitedly:

"Jasper, it's great that you can escape! I was also worried that you would be trapped in the bilge, sorry, I couldn't fulfill my promise and get you out of the bilge! ”

Jasper raised a hand weakly, smiled reluctantly, and said:

"Luckily, the Naga killer brought back an axe and a chisel, and we escaped by making a hole in the bottom of the boat!"

"I've been waiting for you here for a while."

He added weakly.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the temple and let Grand Priest Reed help you heal your injuries!"

Roy crouched down, put Jasper's arm over his shoulder, then put his arm around his waist and carried him toward Brown Street outside the docks.

"Roy, did you call all the garrisons on the beach?"

Jasper asked with envy as he looked at the elven archers on the docks.

"I just reported the news that we were trapped on the Seawolf to the Harbor Guard......" Roy said.

The two of them held each other and walked slowly in the direction of the Statue of Liberty.

Soon it disappeared into the darkness of the night.

……

A beautiful Naga mermaid emerged from the waters below the shallow dock, the same beautiful mermaid who had helped Roy.

She lay on the steps of the dock with her hands and watched the backs of the two in silence.

It wasn't until the two of them completely disappeared in the dark street that they turned around and plunged headlong into the sea.

The three-colored fishtail made a splash in the sea and quickly disappeared.

……

Roy and Jasper walked back to the Statue of Liberty with one foot at a shallow foot, and Abt was still sitting in the guard's room at the entrance of the temple, and when he saw the two of them walking back from the harbor docks like vagabonds, he knew that something was wrong.

He hurriedly ran out to open the side door, and then helped Roy carry Jasper, who was almost collapsed, into the backyard of the temple.

"What are you doing here? Wasn't it okay when you left? Could it be that they have been devoured by evil spirits? ”

Abt asked as he walked.

Walking into the temple, Jasper became a little more energetic and said:

"What if I said we met a group of slave traders? What would you think? ”

Abt shuddered and nearly threw Jasper on the road.

He stopped and asked Roy to help lift Jasper onto his back.

Then he grinned and said:

"It's really fateful for the two of you to come back alive. Jasper ......"

"That's right, not only did we die, Roy and I also saved a boatload of Naga." Jasper said behind his back.

Abt walked up the steps to the second floor of the dormitory, where he and Jasper lived in the room furthest from the main hall.

"And then you two ended up like this?"

"Hmm!"

Roy and Jasper replied at the same time.

When Abt turned up the stairs, Archpriest Reed just came out of the study and looked up to see Roy and the three of them.

"Grand Priest Reed......"

The three of them stepped forward to greet them.

Grand Priest Reed's gaze fell on Roy's face, and then at Jasper before asking:

"What happened?"

Jasper cheered up and explained:

"High Priest Reed, I went to a ship on the docks to purify the souls, but I didn't expect it to be a slave ship, they wanted to sweep me and Roy to the sea, but fortunately, the elven guards of the docks rescued us."

“…… Goddess above, how could such a terrible thing happen, let me check how you are hurt......"

Archpriest Reed approached, and when he got closer, he realized that Jasper was wounded much worse than he had thought.

At this point, Roy pushed the door open, and Abt carried Jasper into the room and laid him on the bed.

Seeing the bruises on Jasper's arms, his body full of wounds, and large bruises on his chest, he pressed all parts of his chest and abdomen, and saw that he was grinning in pain, and knew that his chest and abdominal organs might have been wounded, so he said:

"Your injuries are not light, lie down and don't move, I'll help you treat it with the Holy Light Technique."

Jasper smiled reluctantly and said:

"Archpriest Reed, just let Abt help me heal."

Grand Priest Reed said with a serious face:

"Jasper, that's not what you should be concerned about, you just need to get some rest now."

At this moment, the sound of messy footsteps sounded in the hallway.

Priest Theodore actually walked in from the outside drunkenly, and when he passed by this room, he glanced inside, and saw that Archpriest Reed and the three midshipmen were here, so he stopped......

His steps were a little vain......

Grand Priest Reed frowned and asked:

"Theodore, you're drinking?"

Priest Theodore leaned against the doorframe, pointed to his chest, and said with a smile:

"I only drank a little fermented pomegranate juice, which wasn't wine at all."

Then he saw Jasper lying on the bed, and then walked into the room.

"Oh, Jasper, what's wrong with you? How could it hurt like this? ”

His expression was slightly exaggerated......

He put his hands on Jasper's shoulders and said:

"Lie down, you also know how difficult it is to store some of the power of the Holy Light now, now Priest Andison's power of the Holy Light does not know how long it will take to recover, the temple needs me and Grand Priest Reed to preside over the situation, I can't exhaust all the Holy Light, Abt, you come to treat Jasper and Roy."

The last sentence was his command to Abt.

Abt immediately replied respectfully:

"Yes, Mr. Theodore."

Theodore turned to leave, but when he reached the door, he thought of something again, turned to Abt and Jasper, and commanded:

"Recently, the two of you have stopped all foreign affairs, and now you must know a little about the situation in the temple, and I don't want to say anything superfluous."

"Yes, Mr. Theodore!"

"Yes, Priest Theodore!"

Jasper and Abt replied at the same time, with bitter faces.

After saying that, Priest Theodore said to Archpriest Reed:

"Reed, let's go and sit in the study, and I'll tell you, I'm here today at the great artist, painter, sculptor, poet Moore. He was a guest at the estate of Master Claire Latin, and he promised to help us lobby the Castletown Elders' House and persuade the nobles of the House of Elders to agree with us to pass on the Lady of Liberty doctrine in Uptown......"

After hearing this, Grand Priest Reed was also slightly moved, and asked:

"Claire Latin's master? The one who opened the art gallery in the heart of Castletown? ”

Priest Theodore said triumphantly, "That's him!" ”

Grand Priest Reed was shocked and said happily:

"Great work! Theodore thanks you for your contribution to the temple, wait for me to go to you, I'll treat Jasper first, as for Roy's injury, although it is not light, I believe that Abt can do it well. ”

With that, he walked back into his room.

Priest Theodore stood in the doorway and reminded:

"Hey, leave a little bit of the power of the Holy Light, next week's Holy Water Pool is estimated to need to be injected with Holy Light, I made some magic shows to Master Claire Latin today, and the power of the Holy Light has been used to the fullest."

Grand Priest Reed waved his hand to show that he understood, and said:

"I can still handle it, Abt can only heal with secondary healing, and secondary healing can't heal such a serious injury......"

In order to prevent the Grand Priest Reed from making a mistake when he cast the Great Holy Light Technique, Abt and Roy both stood silently in the corner and watched.

This kind of third-level divine technique needs to reach the level of a great priest before it can be used.

As a second-level trainee priest, Roy has to break through at least two big steps if he wants to reach this level.

First you have to become a priest, and then you can become a great priest.

If you want to become a priest, as long as you can sense the power of the Holy Light and be pious enough, it is only a matter of time.

But if you want to become a great priest, the conditions for advancement become very demanding.

According to Jasper, you need to have at least one divine descent before you can advance.

At present, Theodore and Andison are stuck in the bottleneck, and after waiting for so many years, neither of them has been able to obtain the divine descent of the goddess of liberty, which inevitably makes the two elven priests a little disheartened......

In the dormitory, Grand Priest Reed performed the Great Holy Light Technique, and a beam of holy light penetrated into the room from the outside of the room, completely enveloping Jasper.

The divine aura in the beam of light was so thick that it could condense the fallen leaves of light, Jasper was bathed in the holy light, his body began to change rapidly as if he was constantly going back in time and space, and the wounds on his body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Roy and Abt watched the whole process very carefully, and this kind of observation opportunity is very rare......

Subsequently, Roy also saw Abt perform the secondary healing technique for the second time today, and it was all performed on him, and he was injured twice in this day......

From the beginning to the end, Roy didn't see Priest Addison come out of the room, not even the simplest greeting.

Seeing Jasper's expression a little gloomy, in fact, Officer Addison has another identity, which is Jasper's teacher.

Seeing Jasper's depressed mood, Grand Priest Reed patted Jasper on the shoulder with his hand and said:

"Don't think too much, Andison may have walked into a misunderstanding during this time, and he hasn't been able to get out of there yet, I'm giving him some time, and it is estimated that when he figures it out, he will become as cheerful and enthusiastic as before."

Jasper nodded.

"I'd love to know what happened to the harbor with you two making such a mess, and which of you two can tell me?"

After waiting for the two to be treated, Grand Priest Reed sat down across from Jasper and asked the two of them.
