73. History lesson
Yesterday, Roy asked Sabrina what friends Jefferson had in Castletown, and he didn't expect to meet one in the morning.
Roy wasn't in a hurry to get in touch with the Dark Moon Elf, and since this guy was looking for him, there was no reason for him to identify himself immediately.
A carriage came from a distance, and the elves waiting at the corner of the street boarded the carriage one after another, and Roy rode the carriage to the elven academy.
Roy walked to the staircase classroom with the history book, and several members of the sixteenth group who came to the classroom first and occupied a position beckoned to Roy, and several members of the staircase who came to the staircase first were all Silver Moon Elf girls, young and beautiful, with the reserve of an aristocracy, and smiled sweetly.
Presumably because he was worried that Roy wouldn't remember their names.
When Roy walked over, several Silver Moon Elf girls took the initiative to stand up and report their names one by one:
"Mariteth."
"Matilda."
"Rowling......
Roy hurriedly stood in the aisle and greeted these Silver Moon Elves politely: "My name is Roy. ”
The silver-haired elf named Matilda laughed and quipped:
"I've been named twice in class by Teacher Ophelia, and I guess there is no elf in this classroom who doesn't know you."
Among these elven girls, she seemed to be down-to-earth and generous, looking directly at Roy, as if she was extremely curious about him:
"Roy, how are you preparing for the homework assigned by Teacher Ophelia?"
Roy said, "I found two books about the naval battle of the Queens Islands, both of which depict this naval battle from the perspective of elven warriors, one of which tells the story of the Sixth Legion of the Silvermoon Kingdom stationed on Queen Evanni's main island for one year and six months......"
When talking about historical events, everyone does not have the same embarrassment as just now.
This group of elven girls was not interested in the details of the war in the Queens' Islands, and they didn't know much about it, but they did a very detailed investigation of the cultural, political, and historical background of the time, and made some notes.
Immediately after that, the other members of the group also came one after another, greeted each other, and everyone communicated briefly, and each assigned some tasks, and the task given to Roy was very simple, that is, to introduce the attack on the main island of the Queens Islands at that time.
As the bell rings for class......
Princess Oliphia, dressed in a plain dress, walked in from outside the door with a book in her arms, her long silver hair draped behind her like a waterfall, and a golden hairpin pinned to her ear, which immediately made the whole classroom silent.
With a faint smile on his face, he looked around the lecture hall before he said:
"Guys, how are you all ready? I don't want ...... When the group I drew came to power, none of the members could say a word......"
Princess Ophelia's voice was soft, as clear as the water of a mountain stream, and it felt like a tinkling dong to Roy.
"I made forty cards, and the corresponding research team will come up and tell you about any historical event that I draw."
Princess Ophelia probably thought this was funny, with a nonchalant smile on the corner of her mouth, she unfolded a stack of cards in her hand, and then took out one from it, turned it over and looked at the historical events, and then said, "In this class, we will discuss the 'New Covenant between the Silvermoon Kingdom and the Grimm Empire in 1362'." ”
The members of the sixteenth group, who sat in a row, nervously listened to Princess Ophelia announce the selected topics, and when they heard the year, everyone including Roy breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not them for the first class.
There was silence in the lecture hall, and the ten elven students sitting in the third row got up from their seats one after another, they were dressed in decent robes, and each of them had a roll of parchment in their arms, both a little nervous, but also a little excited and excited, everyone did not forget to encourage each other, and then lined up to walk up to the podium.
Princess Ophelia gave up the podium and stood alone by the window, quietly listening to the students......
The elven students were well prepared, and each of them gave a story about the situation.
For Princess Ophelia, the covenant between the Silver Moon Elf King and Prince James of the Grimm Empire in the capital of Buenos forty-three years ago was something she had experienced from beginning to end, but the whole city of Buenos was like a festival.
Jonah. Princess Ophelia watched her sister Manda. Princess Ophelia took Prince James by the arm and boarded the ornate carriage, and their convoy made its way east to Castletown Harbour, where they returned to the Grimm Empire on Roland with the fleet, and the last time they received a letter from their sister was thirteen years ago, saying that their sister Manda had given birth to two lovely little princesses......
She arrived at Castletown Harbour, where Manda and James had stayed, and never left.
Princess Ophelia woke up from that incident and found that the elven students on the podium had reached the end of their talk.
Waiting for all the elven students to finish speaking, just after half the class, Princess Ophelia slowly walked up to the podium, nodded to the ten students, motioned for them to return to their seats, and then said with a smile:
"Not bad, this ......"
The bright sunlight shone through the window on Princess Ophelia's bright and quiet face.
Since the previous ten students had already introduced it, everyone already knew something about that period of history, and when Princess Ophelia introduced it again, it immediately made all the students feel very familiar, as if they had returned to the era when naval battles broke out frequently with the Naga Sea Clan in the Endless Sea......
Although there was only one class so far, Princess Ophelia knew that the class was a great success, and that it made the boring history lesson interesting, or at least motivated the students.
……
After an afternoon of studying magic in the temple, Roy found that he had mastered the 'secondary healing technique' of the divine pattern, but he was still a little less proficient for the time being......
Roy didn't go with Jasper and Abt to repair the Black Pearl today.
Jasper hired a carpenter on Brown Street to make a new ladder for the ship, and the ladder he and Abt had made was about to fall apart after only a few uses.
In addition, he plans to repair the broken windows and doors of the shipyard first.
It was impossible to bring the carpenter to the ship, so the doors and windows had to be torn down, hung down with ropes, and taken to the carpenter's workshop for repairs.
Roy had to prepare for the battle in the Colosseum, so he came out of the temple and walked home.
The fleur-de-lis bloomed on the side of the street, like a blue ribbon, and as soon as I reached the door, I saw the Dark Moon Elf standing by the wall across the street.
Roy stopped and turned to look at the elven ranger.
The Dark Moon Elf walked over slowly, stood in front of Roy, stared at his face for a long time, and then asked:
"You're Roy?"
Roy nodded, and stood in the doorway, without inviting him into the courtyard to sit.
"Well, what do you want to know?"
The eyes of the Dark Moon Elf narrowed slightly, and at that moment they looked like a nightblade leopard preparing to hunt, and their eyes were fierce......
But then it eased up, like a silent warning to Roy.
"Jefferson, I wonder how he died!"
Roy turned his head to look at the street, and by this time, the elven guards had probably gone home.
"Didn't you go to the tavern in the morning to investigate? They should have told you what happened in the tavern. Roy said.
The Darkmoon Elf leaned against the wall and asked Roy, "I want to know about the human seafarers who killed him......"
"Tell me what benefits you can give me, don't let me give you this news for nothing!" Roy asked fearlessly.
The Dark Moon Elf didn't expect that the threat just now would have no effect on the human in front of him, he leaned over and whispered almost to Roy's ear, "You're not afraid of me?" ”
Roy took a step back, his back just against the courtyard door, but he stared at the dark moon elf's black eyes, and said without flinching:
"A strange Dark Moon Elf, dressed as a Ranger and coming to Brown Street to investigate Jefferson's death without concealment, do you think no one will notice you?"
“…… Besides, you just want to get some news from me about the seafarers, what reason should I be afraid of you? ”
The Dark Moon Elf hesitated, touched the money bag under his belt, and said in a deep voice, "I can give you twenty Kohler." ”
His voice was a little cold.
Fortunately, his hand was not on the dagger.
Roy wasn't so nervous, he whispered and said quickly, "Don't think I don't know what price the tavern sells at a price, a fixed price...... Fifty Kohler, and I can also include an additional piece of information. ”
Obviously not wanting to stand here any longer, the Dark Moon Elf lowered his head and pulled a stack of Kohler out of his pocket and stuffed it into Roy's hand, holding back the anger in his heart and said, "You'd better say something that sounds useful to me." ”
Roy just casually offered a price, but he didn't expect this Dark Moon Elf to even bargain......
So he stood at the gate of the courtyard and said to the Dark Moon Elf: "I am just a guide, and I am not familiar with those seamen, I remember the time...... Later they quarreled in the tavern, and you probably know what happened next, you want to find those seamen...... To avenge Jefferson? ”
The Dark Moon Elf ignored Roy and turned to walk down the street.
Roy hurriedly chased after him and continued, "I heard that a few days before Jefferson's death, he investigated the Statue of Liberty ......"
The Dark Moon Elf still didn't look back, and didn't want to bother Roy at all.
Roy continued to chase after him and said:
"If you want to avenge Jefferson, I can provide you with the portraits of those seamen, I remember what they looked like!"
The Dark Moon Elf didn't stop, but said impatiently:
"Shut up, if you need to...... I'll come back to you again! ”
Roy stood in front of his door, watching the Dark Moon Elf walk away.
The Dark Moon Elf didn't know Jefferson well, and he seemed to be quite young.
Except for being a little grumpy, he's quite well-behaved.
A proper rookie......
