119. Ms. Belinda
The new students of the Elven Academy who returned to Castletown safely had a few days of happy vacation.
Of course, the later the freshmen return, the shorter the vacation.
Elven students with creative tasks also have to put the finishing touches on their work, such as Claire who will be busy in the next three days, not only sorting out sketches, but also putting the finishing touches on the Magara jungle travels, and of course, his stone carvings and tunes.
The freshmen start school on next Monday, which means Roy has three full days off from school.
Claire hurriedly boarded the carriage, said goodbye to Roy in a hurry, and returned to Uptown.
Roy waited for the carriage in the lower part of the city, until all the members of the sixteen groups were gone, and the carriage in the lower city was late, but it was better to be late than to walk back.
Roy hurriedly stood on the side of the road and waved to the carriage.
The carriage stopped, and Roy quickly got into the carriage......
Returning to Castletown again, seeing the vendors and the shops on both sides of the street, smelling the faint smell of the sea wafting from the street, and hearing the noisy sounds of the market, Roy suddenly felt the smell of family in his heart.
In Roy's mind, the wooden house on Brown Street was more like a sea-view room in front of the seaside bath, and he had always thought of himself as a time traveler who was out of step with the world, and maybe when he woke up, he would find himself lying in a college dormitory, and everything here was probably like a dream that he couldn't remember.
Usually fishing, spreading on the beach, and occasionally swimming in the sea, this is his happy life in the past.
All that changed......
It had only started since he entered the Elven Academy, and more had happened in the past two months than he had encountered in the previous year.
Returning from the jungle of Malaga, Roy suddenly found himself in a kind of attachment to Brown Street, and at this time, he dragged his tired body, just to get back home as soon as possible, take a shower and get a good night's sleep......
The familiar sea breeze, the skuas flying around on the sea, and the flying fish boats that are about to dock in port.
The intersection of Brown Street was still the same, and Roy habitually glanced at Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy, where the nightbladed leopard was hiding under a bush wall, staring at him with an angry face.
Roy waved his hand at the Nightblade Leopard, and moved towards the door with his duffel bag on his back.
The Nightblade Leopard yawned, turned and burrowed into its den.
Roy returned safely from the Magala jungle and completed the outdoor practice class, the happiest was of course Ms. Belinda, who heard someone push the door open at the gate of the courtyard, Ms. Belinda pushed the door out of the studio on the second floor, and as soon as she walked up to the terrace on the second floor, she saw Roy, who was almost covered with patches, carrying his luggage and walking into the yard slowly.
Seeing Ms. Belinda standing on the second-floor terrace wiping her tears, Roy threw the luggage at his feet and waved at the woman next to the railing upstairs.
"I'm back!"
Ms. Belinda immediately turned and ran down the terrace, pushed open the door and rushed out, holding Roy tightly in her arms.
Although Roy is already as tall as her......
"Roy, you must have suffered a lot in the Magara Jungle! I didn't even know I had to wear leather armor to enter the jungle. Ms. Belinda said sadly.
"Actually, it's okay, you don't have to wear leather armor, if you take the road by the river, you don't need leather armor." Roy took Miss Belinda's shoulders in one hand and saluted in the other, and walked into the room. "Come and see the harvest from this trip to the jungle of Malaga, you must not have imagined what I picked up......"
Moira leaned against the courtyard wall, tilting her head to watch Roy and Miss Belinda enter the room, before quietly retracting.
In addition to the marble he had picked up in the castle, Roy had taken out half of the petrified lizard skin he had shared, and told Lady Belinda how lucky he had been to pick up a dead lizard in the jungle and wait to get it to the tanning workshop to make a decent piece of hard leather armor.
This made Ms. Belinda feel relieved and distressed to hear......
In the month since he left home, Roy has not been exposed to the sun at the beach all day, but his skin has become fairer.
Roy hurried into the bathroom to take a shower, then changed into linen clothes and walked out of the room wiping his wet hair.
The gift that Roy brought back from the jungle of Malaga this time was not only a carved stone of marble, but also berries that could only be picked in the jungle.
Ms. Belinda was sitting at the table, savoring the blueberry-colored berry.
When she eats, she always likes to make a cup of fruit tea.
You don't need a lot of things, but they do have to be delicate enough.
The same goes for the gifts she likes, they don't need to be precious, but they must appear to have enough heart.
“…… So, the art exhibition has been delayed indefinitely, and there is nothing to do at the art museum? ”
"I can take a break for a while, I'm going to create a few more pieces and take them to Buenos to try my luck, maybe there are art galleries that will like this style of statue." Ms. Belinda said a little helplessly.
After her job at the art gallery failed, she lost her job again.
Although she still has a little savings in her hand, she can't sit on the mountain like this, and there is such an art gallery in the city of Castletown, and it is helpless to take her works to Buenos.
Buenos is the royal city of the Silver Moon Elves, a central city integrating culture, art, military, and commerce, and there will indeed be more opportunities there.
"Roy, do you want to live in Buenos for a while? I'll help you find an elven academy again. Ms. Belinda held her teacup and stared at Roy.
Roy didn't really want to leave Castletown, not only would his classes at the Elven Academy be interrupted, but the probationary priests at the Temple of Liberty would not be able to do it anymore.
He hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Uh, do you have to go to Buenos? In fact, I can take care of myself if I stay in Castletown alone, and when you settle down there, I will take advantage of the beginning of the new semester to pass, and if I go to Buenos with you now, the lessons I have learned this semester will be lost. ”
Ms. Belinda doesn't really have any ideas.
Hearing Roy say that she was reluctant to give up the course of the Elf Academy, Ms. Belinda also suspended the idea of moving to Buenos, and with some irritability, she messed with the curls on her head with her hands, got up and walked upstairs, and before closing the door of the studio, a sentence came from upstairs:
"If I think about it again, maybe there will be a turnaround for the art museum here!"
In fact, Roy did not object to Ms. Belinda going to Buenos, and he even had some expectations.
In this way, ordinary life becomes more free.
And now the Statue of Liberty pays him a weekly salary, which is enough for his normal expenses on weekdays.
"Actually, you don't need to worry about me at all, I'll take classes at the Elf Academy, and I'll be able to cook some food for myself." Roy stood at the top of the stairs and shouted at the top of his voice.
Roy was greeted with a 'bang'......
The sound of the door closing made the floor of this house vibrate.
……
The next day, instead of rushing to take the petrified lizard skins to the leather workshop for maturation, Roy arrived at the Statue of Liberty early in the morning.
He hasn't been able to get paid this month, so he can't wait to get back to work.
The temple was as deserted as ever.
Jasper sat in the gatekeeper, and Roy was praying as he walked over, he must have had a haircut, and even his nails were neatly built, and it was obvious that men with girlfriends would be cleaner than before.
Without disturbing Jasper, Roy pushed open the side door and walked into the vestibule, which was clean, but also deserted.
Seeing a door open in the main hall of the temple, and thinking that the Grand Priest Reed was praying inside the temple, Roy walked outside the door only to find that it was Abt cleaning inside.
He was very serious about his work and didn't see Roy at the door.
Roy didn't see Archpriest Reed, and turned and walked to the backyard.
Seeing that the door of the study on the second floor was open, Roy quickly walked up to the second floor, and sure enough, Grand Priest Reed was sitting at the round table in the study and reading.
Roy stood at the door of the study room and knocked softly: "Report!" ”
Grand Priest Reed raised his head and looked out the door, and at a glance he saw Roy wearing a trainee priest's robe, and a smile of relief suddenly appeared on his face:
"Roy, you're back! It's good to come back, and when you come back, you have to calm down and study hard. ”
"Yes, Teacher!"
Roy spoke to Archpriest Reed, and then walked downstairs to the main hall to clean up with Abt.
Abt's first words after seeing Roy: "Roy, you haven't made the cut lately, have you?" ”
"Not yet...... What's wrong? Roy stood in the doorway and asked curiously.
Abt immediately had a satisfied smile on his face and responded:
"No...... It's good if you don't have it ”
Roy ran to the gate again to say hello to Jasper, who said something similar to Abt.
Roy took the opportunity to ask why......
Jasper rightfully said:
"At least that doesn't make Abt and I look useless......"
With that, he smiled and invited him to meet again on the Black Pearl in the evening, and said that the ship had completely changed now.
Obviously, Abt and Jasper spent a lot of time on that sea ship......
The other priest, Theodore, was still not in the temple, and Roy helped Abt clean up, so he went to the study with Abt, and then spent a whole afternoon learning the 'purification' crest.
Obviously, the complexity of the Divine Pattern of the Purification Technique is more complex and difficult to understand than that of the 'Secondary Healing Technique'.
For the whole afternoon, Roy only remembered to talk about the three divine threads.
"I was always like this at first, and when you get enough of the Divine Runes, you'll be able to do more ......with less," Abt reassured Roy, following behind her.
Roy hurriedly said, "I know all of this, and I have enough patience. ”
The two walked outside the study, and it happened that Jasper also walked in through the gate, and the three of them ran to the locker room to change their clothes before leaving the Statue of Liberty together and walking towards the Black Pearl on the west side of Castletown Harbour.
