It's a townhouse in Downtown, and townhouses like this one are common in Downtown.

Almost all of these buildings are built on the mountain, with a terraced pattern throughout the lower part of Castleton, with narrow alleys in front of the small buildings, which are paved with stones.

The rainy season in Castleton is very long, and although the buildings are built on the hill and most of the roads are sloped, there are drainage culverts along the roads leading to the Dane River.

The roads in the lower town are only streetlit on the main streets, and the narrow stone alleys of Amy's house are pitch black.

Occasionally, a bright light shines in the alley, which is also the light of the homes of the residents of the townhouses.

The two half-blood elf girls were used to this kind of path, and the two of them led the way, with Roy following behind them.

The townhouse was only fifteen minutes away from the library, which was the closest place in the downtown area to the center of the city, and the two soon came to a staircase.

Amy and her companions share an attic with a separate staircase......

Roy stood at the top of the stairs and stopped, he hesitated slightly, looked at the shrewd and capable half-blood elf in front of him, and asked:

"Amy, why are you helping me?"

Amy, who had already planned to go upstairs, turned around, with a teasing smile on her face, and said to Roy:

"That bastard must have deceived you miserably with Peleus, so he would come to the door."

Roy looked down at himself, he didn't think he was as miserable as Amy said......

Amy leaned on the railing of the stairs, looked at the sea in the distance, and sighed, "If Windsor were still alive, she would definitely help Peleus return the money to you." Now that she's dead, we'll do the last thing for her. ”

As he spoke, he walked up the stairs with his female companion, ignoring Roy who was following him.

……

Now that they've all come here, Roy thinks it's better to follow Amy upstairs to have a look.

If there's something you're looking for, take it with you.

If it's just some personal belongings from Windsor, then just find an excuse like worthless and leave it to them.

The attic is not large, only about 20 square meters, and almost half of the area is deprived of space above it by the sloping ridge.

Two simple beds were made on the side of the sloping ridge, no fire could be opened in the room, three meals a day had to be bought outside, and there was a box of breadfruit in the corner, which was probably their usual ration.

On the only desk, there were several thick books, and on the table, in addition to a candlestick, there was a messy piece of straw paper.

Their clothes were placed on a wooden frame with a basin of water next to them.

The room wasn't too messy, but it wasn't too tidy either.

When Amy walked into the room, she stooped over to the bed, groped her way through it, and asked Roy, who was standing at the door:

"Do you know why Windsor lives with me?"

Roy stood honestly in the doorway, not intending to sit inside, nor looking around......

Amy then pulled a rattan crate from under the bed.

The companion went into the room, went to the desk, lit half of the candlestick, and sat quietly on the other bed, without speaking or helping.

Amy's skin is a blue-gray color in the candlelight, and although she is a half-blood elf, it is obvious that the dominant genes of the Night Elves have been inherited more.

His eyes were very smart, and he was very bold when he stared at Roy.

The rattan box is not large, and it looks very light, in front of Roy, Amy directly opened the buckle of the box, and opened the lid of the box again, before saying to Roy:

"Because she has already taken out all her money to ask people for news this month in order to find her brother, so she only has these things left."

The box was small, and there was nothing in it, a long dress of apricot-yellow fine linen, a diary with a parchment cover, a thin blanket, and a wooden comb.

"That's all?" Roy casually flipped through and asked Amy.

Amy nodded.

Roy directly skipped the blanket and skirt, took the diary in his hand, and flipped through two pages casually, only to find that there was a crooked line of elven text on the yellowed page:

To my dearest sister, Windsor.

The signature below reads 'Peleus'.

Roy hesitated, held up the diary in his hand, and asked Amy:

"Can I take this journal?"

Amy had been staring at Roy all the time, and when she saw Roy suddenly ask him, she nodded hurriedly.

Roy tucked his diary under his arm, along with two books he had borrowed from the library and a textbook.

He straightened up and bowed to Amy very gentlemanly.

"Thank you, Amy......"

Then he retreated from the attic door to the jogging platform of the staircase outside, and hurried downstairs.

……

The two half-blood elf girls in the attic leaned together in the attic's ventilation window, looking down the alley below.

The girlfriend watched Roy in the dim alley walk to the big crossroads, turned around and disappeared into the street.

She frowned and asked Amy, "Amy, why did you give him those things?" ”

At this time, Amy was already standing next to the basin of water and was about to wash her face, and when she heard her friend's inquiry, she turned around and raised her eyebrows and said:

"Don't you think he's familiar?"

The girlfriend shook her head blankly.

Amy showed a hint of smugness on her face and said:

"He's the new midshipman at the Statue of Liberty, and I've seen him every time I've been at the last few meetings."

The girlfriend covered her mouth, a little incredulous, and then seemed to remember something, and said in surprise: "He is the probationary priest who gave us holy water?" ”

Amy picked up a towel and wiped the water on her face, turned around and walked to her best friend's side, and asked proudly, "You also remember?" His face is still recognizable. ”

"So you gave him all of that?"

"That's right!" Amy leaned weakly against the ventilation window and whispered, "It's better than handing it over to those useless elf guards......"

……

Roy, of course, couldn't hear the conversation between Amy and her best friend at this time.

He was about to walk back to Brown Street from Downtown, when a carriage happened to be coming from Uptown, and he immediately changed his mind.

Standing on the side of the street and beckoning to the carriage, the carriage came to a halt against the side of the street.

Roy walked into the car and happened to see Sabrina sitting alone in the back of the wooden seat, she was turning her head to look out the window at the street scene, not noticing Roy getting into the car.

By the time she saw Roy, Roy was already sitting in the front row of her.

She leaned over and patted Roy on the shoulder, waiting for Roy to turn his head before whispering:

"Didn't you just study at the academy for one morning?"

If it was in the past, Sabrina would never take the initiative to greet Roy, but recently, because Moira always helps Roy correct the dismantling of martial arts, and encounters some movements that Roy can't remember, Moira will also pull Sabrina onto the terrace, which makes Roy's martial arts improve by leaps and bounds.

At least in the martial arts class, Instructor Nora won't dissuade Roy anymore.

"I went to the library today to check out some materials."

Roy explained to Sabrina as he held a few books tucked under his armpit in his arms.

Sabrina's white face was three points of demure and seven points of scrutiny, and she said to Roy, who had an indifferent expression: "You seem to have changed a lot more than before......"

Roy reached out and touched his face, and prevaricated:

"Has it changed? Why didn't I feel it? ”

Sabrina didn't answer, she turned her head to look out the window, the night wind blew into the carriage, blowing the long soft blonde hair, and the bright pretty face seemed to be caught in memories, but those memories were not very good, and her brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

All the way downhill, the carriage went fast.

……

When he got home, Roy had to practice the martial arts he had learned that day.

At night, a gust of sea breeze cools the terrace.

Roy took a shower and practiced dismantling on the terrace, and Moira was like a timid marmot, lying on her hands outside the railing of Roy's terrace and peeking out onto the terrace.

She deliberately makes some noise every time she appears, so that Roy doesn't notice......

Moira thinks it has something to do with her dull complexion, and once it's night, it's easy to blend in with the shadows.

Sabrina was different, her skin was white, as white as ivory, and it glowed even at night, and she was very tall, two heads taller than herself, and her long legs were almost up to her waist.

"I came back so late today......

Seeing Roy looking at her, Moira quickly climbed over the railing and stood in the corner of the terrace.

"I went to the library in the afternoon and borrowed two books."

Roy replied, and then began to practice the dismantling of the elven martial arts.

Moira helped Roy correct him, and there was a casual chatter.

Hearing Roy say that he had been approved by Nora's instructor in the beginner martial arts class, Moira was happy with him.

While resting on the terrace, Moira looked at the room next to her with the curtains drawn, and asked Roy:

"Is that Lady Belinda's studio?"

"Well, would you like to see how Ms. Belinda usually works?"

"Not so good!"

"It's nothing, it's just a lot of rocks in there......"

Roy stood up and walked to the door and pushed open the wooden door, because the curtains were drawn, and it was dark inside.

A candle was lit, and the room suddenly became bright.

Ms. Belinda has been getting busier and busier lately for the art exhibition, and occasionally Roy has to help her clean up the house and wash her dirty skirt and socks.

However, Roy rarely entered Ms. Belinda's studio.

The shelves inside are piled with a lot of messy stones, as well as some carving knives and unfinished carvings.

Walking into the studio with Moira one after the other, there was very little room in the room to move freely.

"Oh, so many stones, and so many sculptures...... Roy, it seems like you were ...... when you were a kid."

By the candlelight, Moira stood on a row of shelves, pointing to a row of stone sculptures and said in surprise.
