In the corners of the walls are countless piles of marble stones, which are of various shapes and sizes, and are very messy.

There is also a statue of a human figure on the wooden platform in the middle of the studio, only the face is carved, and the rest of the part is still full of angular rocks.

The floor was covered with a thick layer of gravel and powder, and there was that rustling feeling when you stepped on it.

Roy heard Moira's exclamation and turned his head to see Moira standing next to the shelves against the doorway, a row of sculptures covered in silk, which was common in the studio, and where there was still a lot of dust when Ms. Belinda worked.

Many finished sculptures are covered with silk to prevent dust from falling.

There was a row of statues under the piece of silk that Moira had lifted, and Roy hadn't usually noticed it, so he leaned over curiously......

This row of stone carvings is placed on the second floor of the wooden frame, and if you want to see it clearly, you have to bend down or crouch down.

Looking at the first marble carving from left to right, it is a pair of women's hands holding a newborn baby, the gentle hands are carved a little rough, but the baby in the palm of the hand is round and jade, and every part of the body is polished with oil.

The second marble statue depicts a woman holding a baby who is just about to stand up, and the baby looks up at the sky......

The third marble statue shows a little boy standing in a small wooden boat, his hands holding the side of the small wooden boat, and a pair of large women's hands wrapping around the little boy's waist to prevent him from falling into the sea.

At this time, the face of the little boy on the statue resembles Roy......

Roy also knew that the woman's big hand was supposed to be Lady Belinda's, but the statue with the woman's big hand was gone.

The fourth statue is a little boy resembling Roy sitting on a reef by the sea and looking into the distance......

The fifth statue shows a little boy surrounded by a group of elven children, all of whom point to him.

The sixth statue is of a boy sitting lonely on a swing under a tree, watching the elf children play not far away.

The seventh statue is a boy pushing open a door with infinite surprise, and the door is almost exactly the same as the one in the house.

The statue finally reunited with the scene in Roy's memory, and he vividly remembered the joy of moving to his new house here.

The eighth statue shows a boy lying on the wall and peeking at the neighbor's two half-blood elf girls washing clothes in the yard, the two elven girls were Sabrina and Moira, who looked almost the same as they do now, not little girls.

"Yes! I remember when you came only so tall, and your favorite thing to do was hide over the wall and watch me and my sister working in the yard, Roy...... You're growing so fast! Moira crouched down beside Roy and whispered.

Roy is a head taller than her now, but she hasn't changed much.

The ninth statue boy is running on the beach, the beach, the waves, the shells, and Roy is a little bigger.

The tenth statue, Roy, begins to lift Sabrina's skirt, and Sabrina glares at Roy angrily.

The eleventh statue, Roy, took a stick to the barrel of Mrs. Winnie's Nightblade Leopard, and the cub of the Nightblade Leopard opened its mouth and showed its sharp teeth, which frightened Roy's face to change......

The twelfth statue, Roy, became as tall as Moira, and the two stood back to back comparing their heights.

Moira touched herself in the stone carving and exclaimed, "Two years ago we were just as tall, Roy, and now you're a head taller than me!" ”

The thirteenth statue, Roy, was violently beaten to the ground by Sabrina, and appeared to have been beaten badly, and had no way to fight back.

The fourteenth statue shows Roy sitting on a reef fishing, his figure and appearance are almost the same now, the work is only half-finished, and his face is still a little blurred......

Roy didn't know when Lady Belinda carved them, Moira covered the statues with the silk again, stood up straight and looked at Roy seriously, and said with a look of surprise:

"Speaking of which, Roy seems to have grown up overnight......"

"Let me think about it, probably when you peeked at Sabrina taking a shower...... After that beating, you suddenly became a lot more mature, and you didn't play with us much anymore, and often went to the beach to fish alone. Moira muttered to Roy.

At this time, from the courtyard next door came Sabrina's shout:

"Moira......"

Moira hurriedly stretched her neck and agreed: "Oh, I know, I'll come right away......"

With that, she took two steps out, and with the agility of a nightblade leopard, stepped over the railing of the terrace, jumped lightly onto the grass, and then leaped over the fence and back into her yard.

The action is coherent and in one go......

Seeing that Moira had returned home, Roy was in no hurry to leave Belinda's studio, he moved a small stool, sat down in front of the wooden frame, and lifted the silk cloth again.

It was only from the seventh statue that Roy's mind had some memories in his mind, and the further he went, the clearer it became.

Looking at these statues, Roy knew that each sculpture was Ms. Belinda's deepest memory:

Those gentle hands raised Roy little by little......

Moved because Roy couldn't make friends......

Watch Roy grow up at a rapid pace......

From the tenderness at the beginning, to the worry in the middle, to the anxiety of watching Roy grow rapidly.

Roy could clearly feel the mood of his mother, Belinda, from this row of statues.

For the elves, he grew too fast.

She didn't know how to do it when she faced Roy's rapid growth.

In Ms. Belinda's eyes, Roy may be like a five-year-old now.

But he had already begun to enter puberty, and had entered the elven academy with great joy, occasionally washing her skirt and shoes, and making delicious fried fish for Ms. Belinda......

This feeling was indescribable, so she carved the love, worry, and anxiety in her heart into stone.

It's the kind of helplessness that 'I haven't learned how to be a good mother, but my son has grown up'......

Sure enough, Roy found a few more books on the bottom of the wooden shelf......

"The Growth of Mankind", "The Restlessness of Adolescence", "Towards Maturity".

They all dissect humans from the perspective of elves, or half-elves.

Roy finally knew that in fact, everyone around him was aware of it since he woke up, but he had Roy's previous memories.

Plus, he's just getting a little duller.

In Ms. Belinda's eyes, Roy has simply matured from a rebellious period.

Roy put everything back in place before withdrawing from Ms. Belinda's studio.

……

Back in the room, instead of lighting the candles, he performed the shimmering technique.

Then a glimmer of light floated between his hands.

Under Roy's control, the divine glimmer floated above his head.

The light was like a lamp that was dimmed a little.

Roy sat on the head of the bed and opened Windsor's diary.

The paper of this diary is of poor quality, the pages are a little yellowed, even a little brittle to the touch, and the pages will be damaged if you are not careful.

However, the pages inside are very well preserved, which shows that Windsor must have cherished them......

The first page is Peleus's blessing, but when Roy turns the back page, he sees a neatly written Elven script:

'On July 3, 1399, Peleus stole apples from the orchard of the Gasse family, and instead of taking them back to eat, he moved them to the bazaar for money, so that he could buy me a diary with the exchange Kohler, and if I had known that he would steal something for my birthday, I would have preferred nothing for this birthday. ’

The following diaries are also full of verbose words that dislike Peleus.

It's not every day, sometimes it's just a sentence, sometimes it's a short paragraph.

It's almost writing about the difficult country life of the two.

Sure enough, after turning a few pages to the back, there was a change, and I saw Windsor write in the back page:

'On October 8, 1399, no one wanted to hire Peleus, everyone knew that he liked to steal, no one believed in him, no one wanted to be friends with him, he only had me, and I would not abandon him. ’

'On November 30, 1399, it was so cold here that we wanted to leave here and go to a place where no one knew us to live again, and Peleus intended to go south, and wherever he went, I would be with him. ’

Roy flipped his hand behind him, he was going to take a look.

A lot of hardships on the journey, until there is a page that says:

'On June 13, 1400, the city was called Castletown, and with its fish and fruit, we finally found a strange city to live in. ’

On September 18, 1400, Peleus met in the city his fellow countryman Jefferson, who had also come from the Eternal Night Forest to make a living. ’

It turned out that they had known each other for more than four years, and Roy could finally be sure of one thing, Pelius went to the tavern that day, and it was very likely that he went to find Jefferson.

……

On June 6, 1402, Peleus went to steal again, and his bad habits could not be corrected, and perhaps I should find a job. ’

On February 5, 1403, I was soon able to go to work in the library, hoping that the salary I earned would be enough to support both of us, for the fruit was cheap, but the rent was a little expensive. ’

……

From here, Windsor's handwriting became much better, probably because of the work of the library, which brought her a lot of changes.

It wasn't until the last few chapters that Roy finally discovered Windsor's helplessness, uneasiness, and anger.

On March 12, 1404, Peleus said that he could not turn back, that the man had been behind his back, and that he would always let him steal something, O Liberty, could you tell me...... What should I do? ’

'On July 3, 1404, Peleus did something stupid today, he may have stolen something very precious, and he was afraid that it would trouble me, and now even I could not find him. ’

This is the last page of the diary.

Roy sighed and placed the journal on the bedside.

I have long known that there must be some connection between Peleus and Jefferson, but now Jefferson, like their brother and sister, has been buried in the Elven Cemetery in the Western Suburbs......

Jefferson is dead, Peleus is dead, the whereabouts of the Holy Grail are unknown, and even Windsor is dead.

Apparently trying to cut off all the clues, Roy pressed his swollen temples with his hand, waved his hand to extinguish the divine glimmer, and lay on the bed for a long time......
