78. Mirroring

Almost every semester, some students who are not very easy need to come to the gladiatorial arena to resolve the conflict between the two sides, and Instructor Nora has long been accustomed to it.

As long as she guarantees that neither of them will be disabled, let alone accidentally killed, in fact, a little injury is nothing......

Injury is something that every elf must experience as they grow up.

As long as you drink some sap from the tree of life, your injuries will recover quickly.

This time, Steve was hit by a log shield on the right side of his face, and his cheekbones were swollen so high that he could barely open his right eye.

He sat on the bench in a bit of embarrassment, the pride on his face disappeared without a trace, and the blood hole on his leg was tightly wrapped several times with a bandage after applying hemostatic ointment, and the bandage was not bad, although there was occasional blood oozing, but it was only a small trace.

Steve drinks a glass of Tree of Life sap, but refuses Abt's treatment.

The reason is that as a believer in the Temple of the Moon, it is impossible for him to receive divine healing from the Temple of Liberty.

The duel was over, and there was no bet between the two sides, and there was no need to fulfill any promises.

As a result, Steve soon left the Colosseum.

Because Steve and Adams were too confident before, they didn't prepare a stretcher when they came, so Steve sat on the chair and waited for a while, until a friend found a stretcher before leaving in a hurry.

……

In the stands, Claire was surrounded by a group of friends, probably hearing the praise of her sister Belle Claire, so she seemed very happy.

The students in the elementary martial arts class also came over one after another.

Everyone congratulated Claire and wanted to deepen the connection between them through communication.

Claire and Roy are usually two little transparents in the class, and everyone rarely notices them, if it weren't for the fact that they had a duel with Steve and Adams, and even some students didn't notice, there was actually a half-elf in the class......

Roy puts the chain mail back in the large suitcase and returns the original item to Claire.

Claire looked at the big suitcase, pulled Roy to the side, and whispered to him, "Roy, if you like heavy armor, you can leave ......"

Roy waved his hand casually and responded:

"Let's take it back, I don't want the first set of heavy armor to come from a gift from a friend, I will tailor a set in the future."

Claire saw that Roy's gaze was more resolute, so she had no choice but to put the heavy suitcase into her pocket, and muttered helplessly:

"Okay, as long as you don't regret it......"

……

Seeing Roy actually return a full set of chain mail to Claire, and refuse the gift.

Belle was a little surprised.

In her eyes, many humans are greedy, and there are even desires in their eyes that are difficult to hide.

The young half-elf in front of her looked like a human being, but there was no greed in her eyes, so she really wanted to look at her differently......

She walked to her younger brother Wagner. In front of Claire, she took the initiative to help him tidy up the collar of the leather armor, and said to him with a smile:

"I didn't expect it...... You guys actually won, and the tactics are well executed! Congratulations, Wagner, if you are out on the battlefield, your friends will also be trustworthy partners! ”

"Of course, I've always had a good eye!" Claire said proudly.

But then Claire is pulled away by a group of friends, and everyone wants to get to know Roy.

Belil. Claire stood on the edge of the stands......

She also has her own circle of friends.

Several friends who had accompanied her to the colosseum to watch the duel came to her side and said:

"I didn't expect Steve and Adams to lose, and this duel really made Claire's counterattack successful...... That friend of his, presumably a midshipman......"

Belier looked at her friend talking a little hesitantly, so she looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Belier, aren't you going to form an adventure party? I think it would be a good idea to have a trainee priest in the party. The friend whispered, "As long as your brother is brought in, it is probably only a matter of time before that trainee priest can join our adventure party." ”

Belil. Claire didn't expect her friend to say this, she was going to form an adventure group, but she was going to form an adventure group composed of silver moon elves, and only in this way could she pass the application of the Moon Temple Divine Envoy.

If there are half-blood elves or half-elves in the party, the Moon Temple will never allow the oracle to join.

Belil. Claire frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wait a minute, they haven't even graduated from the junior martial arts yet!" ”

……

After saying goodbye to Claire, Roy left the Colosseum with Jasper and Abt.

They usually live on the side of the port and docks, and rarely come to Uptown.

There are still a lot of shops on the main street of Castletown, because this is a port city, and there are a lot of imported goods in the shops, so all kinds of goods are full of shop windows.

Jasper and Abt buy some glitter in a magic shop.

In fact, this thing is usually very popular with the Darkmoon Ranger, and when it is thrown out, there can be a flash of light, and the Darkmoon Ranger can take the opportunity to hide in the shadows, but for the priest, this thing is actually useless......

The only use is to make the magic work more gorgeous.

Recently, Jasper and Abt have been entrusted with some tasks, which are basically the dirty work of purifying the spirits.

They wanted to make the purification ritual more beautiful, so they used glitter.

It's not very cheap in a magic shop, though......

Passing by a bakery and smelling the rich smell of wheat inside, Roy walked in and bought a breadstick.

Jasper bought some soft leather, a roll of cloth and a wooden box of nails from the shop along the street, came out of the store, and said to Roy:

"Recently, Abt and I have been investigating how many souls are in the cabin, and there are not many souls hidden in the ship, and we have almost purified it in the past few days."

"It's that there are a lot of dead souls in the oars room below the deck, and we haven't done anything about it, waiting for the Holy Light power on our bodies to recover somewhat, and we're trying to find a way to purify them."

"It's rare that we have some free time this afternoon, why don't we try it again......?" Roy said.

"I made an appointment with the owner of the carpenter's workshop that we would go to the workshop and bring back those repaired doors and windows." Jasper looked at the sun overhead and said, "Try to reinstall the doors and windows in the afternoon, so that even if it rains again, you won't be afraid of getting damp inside the shipbuilding." ”

The trio talked about their work plans for the afternoon as they walked, and due to Roy's left shoulder injury, the main labor force was still Jasper and Abt.

Jasper had always been very interested in repairing the Black Pearl, and he did not hesitate to use some of his savings to see that he had turned the large hole in the bottom of the ship into a door, apparently not thinking of letting the ship go to sea.

The three of them went to the carpenter's workshop on Brown Street, borrowed a flatbed truck from the boss, and transported the repaired doors and windows to the Black Pearl on the west side of the docks.

In such a hot weather, the scorching sun scorched the stone pavement, and even every breath felt like a fire was inhaled.

There was no sea breeze at all, and the three of them managed to lift the repaired doors and windows from the edge of the beach to the shade of the Black Pearl, and sat on a few sea reefs and refused to move.

"It's going to be high tide, and we're going to have to hang these doors and windows on the deck so we can't let them soak in the water......"

Fortunately, the cantilever crane on the ship was not dismantled and remained on the side of the ship.

To put it bluntly, a fixed pulley was installed on the wooden arm, and the rope was indexed into the groove of the fixed pulley, and Roy hung the prepared rope on the hook underneath, and Jasper and Abt worked together to pull the doors and windows to the bow deck without much effort.

By the time this was done, the tide had reached the edge of the Black Pearl.

Jasper began to be a little absent-minded, always looking at the reef not far away, where the water was a little deeper.

Although Roy had some minor injuries, the installation of doors and windows was also done by Jasper and Abt, who only followed them as a small worker.

Roy followed the two into the ship, and immediately cast a shimmer of light to condense a cloud of divine light, which could ensure that once a dead soul approached, it would immediately manifest in the holy light.

The entrance to the ship was littered with traces from the aftermath of the battle, but the blood stains had been cleaned.

I just don't know if the blood stains were washed away by the rain, or if they were cleaned by Jasper and Abt.

On the first floor of the building there are two rooms on the left side, the galley and storage room on the right, and the corridor on the galley side has a staircase leading to the second floor and a staircase leading to the cabin below deck.

The two rooms on the left side of the first floor have two separate wooden doors on the deck.

The first wooden door installed by Jasper and Abt was the first room on the left.

In addition to a very well carved wooden bed, the room also has a bronze wardrobe, table, chairs and bookshelves.

A torn sheet lay on the wooden floor, with broken bottles, blood-stained notebooks, and bald quills......

One of the cabinet doors was open, and there were some women's dresses and cloaks in the closet, all of which were cut from some high-quality fabrics, and there were some blood-stained finger prints on the door.

Walking to the wardrobe, you can still smell the faint smell of perfume on the clothes.

The wooden planks on the bed were still stained with large patches of blood, and there were even traces of the body being dragged away.

Instead, all the books on the shelves had been removed, and even the contents on the desk had been completely emptied, and two empty drawers were lying under the table.

There is also a bronze mirror with a delicate openwork pattern around it hanging on the wall.

Roy walked over and stood in front of the bronze mirror, in which his handsome face was clearly reflected......

A bolt of lightning passed through my head.

Roy finally remembered that when he saw Priest Andison talking to himself in the mirror in the temple warehouse, he had a vague sense that something was wrong.

Then......

He stood at the door of the warehouse, and he didn't even see the figure of Priest Addison in the mirror!
