Roy had thought that he would just lift such a 'door' and then he would be able to pray in the main temple.

In normal times, he recites sacred prayers in his study and prays in passing.

This visit to the Statue of Liberty in the main hall made Roy very much looking forward to the harvest of this prayer.

But when he came out of the warehouse with Abt, Abt pulled him into the main hall, and then he saw the other three 'doors'.

Yes, there are four such 'doors', and each one is very heavy.

The two of them carried the other three 'doors' into the warehouse, leaving Roy sweating profusely.

The High Priest Reed himself walked into the storehouse and even tied the four linen-wrapped doors with ropes.

Finally, High Priest Reed took a broken candlestick from the warehouse and placed it next to the four 'doors', and poured a ray of holy light into the two candles above the candlestick.

A scene that made Roy feel unbelievable appeared, when the High Priest Reed lit the candle, the core of the candle flame actually exuded a faint divine aura.

This corner of the warehouse was shrouded in a faint layer of holy light.

In order to avoid fire, High Priest Reed also prepared a metal tray for this candlestick and placed it under the lower candlestick.

When he walked out of the warehouse, he also told Roy and Abt not to go near the warehouse if they were fine......

Roy felt that those doors might not be simple, and since Grand Priest Reed didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any more.

……

Roy had finally memorized a sacred prayer so well in the past few days that Grand Priest Reed promised Roy to pray in front of the statue of the goddess in the main temple.

Before entering the main hall to pray, Roy first went to the dormitory in the small two-story building in the backyard of the temple, pushed open the thick wooden door, and the clean and simple room contained only two single wooden beds, a desk next to the head of the bed, and a wardrobe with two floors of doors.

Jasper was lying on the bed on the right, wearing a loose set of pajamas without a quilt on his body, and his face looked good.

"Jasper, how are you feeling?"

Roy sat down on Jasper's bedside and asked, a little worried.

Unexpectedly, Jasper sat up directly from the bed and said energetically:

"It's not bad, Grand Priest Reed's Great Holy Light Technique is much stronger than the 'Secondary Healing Technique', I feel very good now, if it weren't for Grand Priest Reed suggesting that I rest more in bed, I would be ready to go out for a walk!"

Roy said to Jasper:

"I just saw that the Seawolf has been fished up, and they're probably going to move it to the beach on the west side of the dock."

It seems that Jasper has completely come out of last night's events, and there is no emotion in any excitement, and he said calmly:

"That's a big one."

Roy thought of the latest news that Lady Gillian had brought back in the morning, and said to Jasper:

"By the way, the gray dwarf captain and the elven sorceress have not been able to find it, and they probably escaped."

Jasper had no impression of the captain and first mate of the Seawolf, and had no idea how terrifying they were when they fought the elven warriors.

At this time, he comforted the worried Roy:

"There's no way around it, don't worry, they don't dare to sneak into the elven city easily."

There was a cry from Abt outside, and Roy immediately went to the door to take a look, and when he saw Abt waving to him at the well, Roy said to Jasper:

"Jasper, I'm going to the main temple to pray, I hope today can be different, see you later!"

Abt called Roy, actually asking him to help carry the water.

Normally, these things are done by him and Jasper, but now that he is the only one left, he thinks of Roy.

The water in this well is not only very cool, but it also does not have any salty taste.

The two carried the water from the well to the holy pool in the side hall, which was about a meter square with smooth stone slabs on the four walls.

Roy and Abt carried the bucket to the holy water pool, only to see that the water inside had bottomed out, and it was just some very ordinary clear water, and it did not contain any sacred aura.

The silver plate still stood on the table in front of the pool of holy water.

The aura emanating from the silver plate was not even as strong as the divine scepter that the Naga killer had given Roy, only a little bit of divine aura.

There was some water with a divine breath on the plate.

Abt scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it into a silver platter, then poured all the water from the bucket into the pool of holy water.

Immediately after that, he and Roy walked out, and the two continued to draw water.

The two of them made twelve buckets of well water in a row before filling most of the holy water pool.

Abt picked up the spoon by the pool of holy water, gently scooped a spoonful of water, flipped his wrist, and poured the clear well water back into the pool.

He sighed softly and said in a nostalgic tone:

"When I first came to the temple, I just had to pour the water from the well into this holy pool, and wait for the night for the water in the holy pool to become holy water...... At that time, many elves in the lower city would run to the temple to pray, and when they left, each of them would take a bottle of holy water with them. ”

Then there was some uncertainty in his eyes, and he said with a hint of concern:

"Later, we gradually lost the light of the goddess, and the role of the holy pool gradually disappeared, and the holy pool can no longer turn the well water into holy water, but fortunately we still have the holy grail......"

"Actually, that chalice is just a bronze vessel, but the surface is plated with a layer of gold, except for having some divine aura, it really has nothing else special."

"In recent months, we have soaked the Holy Grail in the pool of holy water before each assembly, and we have a whole pool of holy water on the day of the meeting."

"Grand Priest Reed said that it was because the Holy Grail had been enshrined in front of the Holy Water Pool for too long, and the Holy Grail contained a large amount of Holy Light power, and this Holy Grail could also release the power of Holy Light, so it would assimilate the clear water in the Holy Water Pool."

Roy's mouth opened wide, he didn't expect the Holy Grail to be used for this in the temple.

"But no one thought that someone would steal this holy grail that doesn't seem to be very valuable, so much so that now before every meeting, the priest needs to inject the power of holy light into the holy pool, and last week, it was Priest Andison who poured holy light into the holy pool, causing the holy light in his body to be completely drained......" Abt whispered to Roy.

"It's the turn of Grand Priest Reed this week, so every trace of the power of holy light accumulated in his body is very precious......"

"How long has it been since you felt the Goddess's radiance?" Roy asked in the same whisper.

"I can't feel a trace of the aura of the Holy Radiance, it's been about six months, but in fact, the Goddess's Holy Radiance has decayed about a year ago."

Abt thought for a moment before responding.

Then the two heard that the door of the main hall was pushed open, and Abt immediately pushed Roy's shoulder and said, "It should be the Grand Priest Reed who is here, let's go......"

The two walked quickly to the relief statue of Lady Liberty in the main hall, and knelt in front of the statue with Grand Priest Reed to pray.

Roy could only recite the first half of the first page of the Book of Sacred Prayers, so he kept whispering it over and over again.

But the temple was always dark and lifeless......

After a whole afternoon of praying to no avail, Roy realized that for now, prayer really didn't seem to be of much use.

Later, Roy learned the magic in the study for a while, and after learning the two magic techniques of shimmer lighting and power blessing, Roy began to learn the secondary healing technique, which in his opinion is a necessary magic for home travel, and has high practicality.

Throughout the afternoon, in the temple, except for Jasper recuperating in bed, Anderson kept himself locked in his room, alone in silent prayer.

And the priest Theodore left the temple early in the morning, saying that he was going to the upper town of Castletown to preach the teachings of the goddess to the elven nobles......

There was no janitor in a huge temple, so he could only continue to keep Abt at the gate.

In fact, Roy couldn't understand the fact that the temple didn't invite a janitor, although the normal operation of the temple was a little difficult to maintain at present, but it didn't cost much Kohler to hire a janitor, and Roy felt that there was no need for Grand Priest Reed to save this money.

Waving goodbye to Abt, Roy walked down Brown Street home......

……

"I'm back! Roy, why did you come back so late yesterday? ”

Moira poked her head out from the next patio and greeted Roy, who had just walked into the yard.

Roy stopped, stood in the courtyard, looked up at the innocent-faced Moira, and responded:

"Something happened on the dock yesterday, I was on the dock at the time, and it was almost midnight when it was over......

Obviously, Roy's response brought a faint smile on her face, and she couldn't help but purse her lips before saying:

"I know that Gillian was still telling us in the morning that a slave ship was detained on the dock last night, and the captain and a group of crew fought up and were completely defeated by the garrison on the other side of the walnut grove......"

Roy glanced at Lake Moira's big blue eyes and said, "That's pretty much it." ”

Then he went into the house, changed his clothes, soaked them in a basin of water, and then walked out to the terrace with the basin......

Moira sat on the fence of her terrace, her legs hanging outside.

"Roy, have you seen those Naga Hai Clans?"

Roy paused and thought for a moment before replying frankly, "See." ”

Moira couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Are they beautiful?" ”

"The appearance of the male is extremely ugly, but it is very strong, and the female Naga is very good-looking, but the body is fishtailed, and there are some hard scales on the body, so that's it!" Roy shook his hand off the water, wrung out the garment from the basin, and hung it on the clothesline.

"Oh, it looks pretty good."

Roy then thought of his poor performance in the martial arts training class, and his heart moved slightly, and he asked Moira:

"By the way, Moira, how is Ling's elementary martial arts, have you learned the first set of coherent movements? Otherwise...... Let me check it out! ”

How could the naïve half-breed elf girl think that Roy just wanted to see Moira's demo and study it seriously......

Very readily agreed:

"Well, I was about to ask you all how you have learned!"
