88. Investigator

The sea breeze blew from the deck, tinkling the bells hanging from the mainmast.

The setting sun shines through the clouds in the west, like a hellfire.

There are also a few small lone fishing boats on the surface that are about to call at the port.

The three midshipmen sat side by side on the bronze man at the bow of the boat, watching the waves of the sea continue to push against the sand under his feet, Abt said depressedly:

"We've spent so much effort repairing the Black Pearl, what will happen to the Black Pearl if we move to Golfito?"

Jasper was also puzzled, he was not only reluctant to the Black Pearl, but also Miss Tiffany, but let him give up the temple?

"Maybe the Statue of Liberty in Castletown won't be removed! This is the closest port to Buenos, not too far from Golfito, and this is the best outlet to the sea, so I don't think the temple in Castletown will be easily removed unless the entire Liberty Temple of the Elven world is removed. ”

Roy was able to talk so eloquently because in the morning geography class, Harper. Mr. Gustav talked about this.

He is mainly talking about the royal capital of Buenos, and at the same time radiates to the surrounding important cities, in addition to the seventeen satellite towns around Buenos, only Castletown is clearly marked by Mr. Harper, the reason is that if the orc tribe in the north is the imaginary enemy, the army of the orc tribe legion secretly bypasses the eternal night forest of the Dark Moon Country in the north, and attacks the Silvermoon Kingdom by ship from the sea, in addition to the Queen Evenny Islands, the best landing place is Castletown City.

Speaking of Castletown Harbour, Mr. Harper's cane nearly cracked the marble floor......

When Roy listened to other young elf students talk about Mr. Harper in class, he said that one of the ideas he had been actively promoting recently was to convert the Ophelia family's seaside estate in Castletown into a military fortress, a proposal that directly touched the interests of the Ophelia royal family.

Mr. Harper also suggested that it would be best to station the main force of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion of the Silver Moon Elves here to deter the fleets that emerged from the north of the Endless Sea.

Of course, the orc horde has so far failed to assemble a decent fleet.

It is also worth mentioning that it is almost impossible for the army of the orc tribe to bypass the eternal night forest in the Darkmoon Realm.

The relationship between elves and orcs is like that between angels and demons, and the hatred accumulated over the years has reached a point where it is completely irreconcilable.

Jasper saw Abt's frustration on his face, and it was a little strange......

This guy has always been very easy-going, and rarely has this kind of tangled emotions of gain and loss, so he said:

"Don't think about it so much, let's wait for the notice from above, and we'll make a decision then."

Thinking that the Black Pearl had now been completely cleaned, even the rotten wooden planks inside the hull had been pried open and replaced with new ones, especially since the ship's mainmast had been shot by the elven archers with a single arrow, and a huge copper sleeve might be needed to stabilize the mainmast.

Now the bow of the Black Pearl is facing the sea, and the aft two-story building is raised high, and the windows of the aft building are opened to just see the seaside manor on the lonely cliff, and if you want to see the sea, you have to stand in the captain's quarters, or simply go to the terrace on the top of the ship.

The kitchen and storage room on the first floor of the ship building are on the left, and the room of the first mate, Mrs. Yudula, and the room of the second mate, Nerev, just overlook the sea and the beautiful port of Castletown.

With some elaborate decoration by Jasper, Mrs. Eudullah's room was almost fully furnished.

"The souls on the ship have been cleaned up, and now we need to set up the empty rooms on the ship, so I'll talk about it first...... That's why I want a first-in-one room, and you two can't rob me!" ”

"Then I'll stay in the second officer's room." Abt looked at the lively Castletown Harbour and said immediately.

Jasper patted Roy on the shoulder and said, "Roy, the captain's bedroom is yours!" Before we went to sea, the captain's room was temporarily used as our activity room......"

"Oh!" Roy looked back at the ship, in fact, the captain's bedroom was still good, and it was very private, the only bad thing to say was that if the Black Pearl had been parked here, it would never have seen the sea view.

"When will we go to sea in search of treasure?" Abt asked.

Jasper turned his head to look at Roy and said with a smile: "At least one of the three of us can sail freely on the sea in the Black Pearl, didn't Roy learn to sail at the Elven Academy?" Let's wait for him to graduate from the Elven Academy! ”

"Isn't it going to be another twenty years, maybe it will be poached by someone else by then, and what else will be left for us...... Can't we hire a captain? Abt said loudly with a worried look on his face.

Jasper turned his head to look at Abt, who had become a different man since he discovered the treasure map, always thinking about the little money from the captain of the Seawolf.

"Aren't you afraid that the captain will throw us all into the sea on our way back?" Jasper scolded him.

Abt was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty:

"No, it won't!"

Jasper put his hand around Abt's shoulder, laughed and said, "Who knows!" You have to be prepared. ”

Roy thought for a moment, but Jasper and Abt didn't seem to have been to sea much, so he proposed, "Why don't I tell Duke this weekend that we can go to sea together on his boat and feel the life at sea?" ”

"That's a good idea!" Jasper immediately agreed.

Abt also responded positively: "Agreed, should we bring something with us, do we need to prepare a fruit basket?" ”

Jasper complained to Abt: "What kind of fruit do you eat when you get to the boat, isn't there fish in the sea!" ”

……

In fact, plans can't keep up with change.

Just one day before Roy, Abtt, and Jaspera's midshipmen were scheduled to go to sea for the weekend, the Lady of Liberty finally sent an inquisitor.

The Grand Priest of Thorndike Amos, he is an ageless silver moon elf, with pale blonde hair meticulously combed back, wearing a white priest's robe with red trim, holding a silver scepter in his hand, and looking very imposing when he walks.

He stepped out of the carriage, raised his head and looked at the Grand Priest Reed at the gate, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and as he walked towards the temple, he questioned the Grand Priest Reed:

"Reed, tell me how Addison died, I need to tell you the whole thing in detail......"

He also glanced at Priest Theodore as he passed by.

But for Roy, Jasper, and Abt, the three probationary priests, they didn't even bother to look at them.

High Priest Reed hurriedly followed behind Archpriest Amos of Thorndike, and the two walked directly into the main hall of the Statue of Liberty.

"He's a lot more powerful than the High Priest Reed......"

It wasn't until the figure of the Grand Priest of Thorndike Amos disappeared from the door of the main hall that Jasper secretly said in the back.

"Be careful to be heard, I've heard that the inquisitors in the temple are very powerful......," Abt reminded in a whisper.

Jasper also knew that he couldn't be caught by the inquisitor at this time, he wasn't here for a tour, but to investigate the cause of Priest Addison's death.

If he doesn't like anyone and wants to arrange a small shoe for that person to wear, it is estimated that no one in the temple can hide from them......

Jasper quickly shut his mouth.

The three of them ran to the well to wash the fruit, and after plating, they brought it to the room of the Grand Priest of Samdike Amos.

Priest Theodore, dressed in clean robes, waited anxiously outside the main hall, occasionally pacing back and forth on the steps of the doorway.

……

Roy didn't expect that the two of them, Grand Priest Reed and Grand Priest Thorndike Amos, would talk in the main hall for so long, and only after the sun block went down did Grand Priest Reed come out of the main hall with a tired face.

Seeing Grand Priest Reed coming out, Priest Theodore immediately approached and asked anxiously:

"How's that, did you make it clear?"

Grand Priest Reed nodded slightly, and then said to Priest Theodore:

"You go in too, Grand Priest Amos of Thorndike wants to talk to you......"

Priest Theodore's face turned pale, and then he hurriedly squeezed out a stiff smile, wiped the sweat on his face with the silk handkerchief on his hand, and walked quickly into the main hall.

"You guys help me carry the bronze mirror out of the warehouse, and be careful not to remove the linen from the bronze mirror."

Grand Priest Reed stood on the steps of the doorway and commanded Roy and the three men.

After all, it was a priest who died, and the Liberty Temple sent a grand priest to investigate, and sure enough, the atmosphere in the temple immediately became solemn.

……

The warehouse was dim, except for four bronze mirrors leaning against the wall with a candle of holy light, the soft light being the only light in the warehouse.

Jasper and Abt were ahead of the curve, and they were much more familiar with the warehouse than Roy.

Roy followed the two of them to the bronze mirror......

Three people, each carrying a bronze mirror.

Through the linen wrapped in the bronze mirror, Roy could clearly hear a woman's voice muttering inside:

"Where do you want to move me......"

Roy didn't speak, picked up the mirror and walked briskly outside.

"Why don't you lift this cloth? Don't you want to see me? ”

Roy quickly closed his eyes, imagining that he was holding an LCD TV, and silently thought to himself: "This is nothing strange, what can be strange about this?" ’

Ignoring the voice in the bronze mirror, he walked out of the warehouse quickly.

"Lift this cloth and let me breathe! Every day I was roasted by a candle, and I was dying of heat in the mirror. ”

Roy held the bronze mirror and followed Jasper.

After seeing Jasper respond to the bronze mirror, he actually put the bronze mirror directly at the door, and reached out to lift the linen on it.
