126. Gifts
She's such a simple half-blood elf.
Like to lock himself in the house all day.,Reluctant to contact with the elves outside.,Soft and sensitive.。
Even a fish or a beach walk, or even a simple lizard tooth necklace like this, would make her happy.
Like a young nightblade leopard cub that has just grown baby teeth, she is wary of the world, carefully hiding in the shadows of the bushes, quietly observing the movements around her.
It is difficult for her to trust others easily, and in addition to her mother, Lady Gillian, and her sister Sabrina, Roy was able to gain her trust, in fact, because the two had something in common, both had a lonely childhood.
While her sister Sabrina helps her mother Gillian sell fish at the fish market, Moira stays home alone, never pushing open the courtyard door and sneaking out into the street to meet other elven children.
When Roy first moved to Brown Street, he was also very withdrawn.
At that time, Moira noticed the half-elf boy who looked like a human in the neighborhood, perhaps because of his half-elf status, which made Moira a little curious, and occasionally she would lean against the courtyard wall and probe to observe what Roy was doing in the yard.
During the time Roy lived in Uptown, he was discriminated against and alienated by the children of the Silver Moon Elves, which made him a little paranoid and withdrawn since he was a child.
It is precisely because of the past that Moira and Roy can get along.
Occasionally, the two would share a clove of breadfruit across a bush wall, and occasionally Moira would hand Roy a piece of tuna meat......
Speaking of which, I have to say that Ms. Belinda doesn't usually like to eat fish very much, and the first fish Roy ate was actually given to him by Moira.
Because he is a half-elf, Roy grows up very quickly, originally Moira and Roy were about the same height, but within a few years, Roy was about half a head taller than Moira, chasing his sister Sabrina.
It was also from this time that Roy's body changed a little, he would occasionally stare at Sabrina's neckline in a daze, and even be bold enough to secretly lift Sabrina's skirt.
Sabrina lectured Roy more than once because of this, but Roy was unrepentant.
It wasn't until Sabrina went to the Elven Academy and learned the primary martial arts that she beat Roy hard......
On that occasion, Roy's head hit the stone steps in the courtyard and bled a lot, which frightened the sisters Moira and Sabrina, and they were severely scolded by their mother, Lady Gillian.
Roy lay in bed for three days before he got up, but during that time he seemed to have lost his memory, he couldn't remember many things, and he became quieter.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that those eyes are still uncontrollable, always like to look at Sabrina's chest, and still like to eat fish so much......
Lady Gillian tells the sisters that all elves who reach adulthood also have this bad habit.
Moira clutched a very bad linen rope and looked at the lizard teeth on the rope, and in order to avoid scratching herself, Moira found some hemp rope to wrap the lizard teeth little by little, and hung them on the wall next to the bed.
……
Every time Roy came home, he would wash the dirty laundry that had accumulated in the bathroom, then take a good shower and hang the laundry on the clothesline on the second-floor terrace.
The wooden door of Ms. Belinda's studio was ajar, and some of the carved pieces had been placed in a wooden box covered with hay, presumably intended for taking to Buenos.
Roy wanted to go to the drain exit on the other side of the seawall to see the Dark Moon Elf Vizel, to see if he had left Castletown safely.
After thinking about it, I decided to go over there tomorrow morning to have a look......
Roy walked into his cabin, and the crystal ball was still on the table, but it was wiped clean and not dusty.
Closing the curtains, Roy lay down on the bed, reached under the bed, and fumbled for a long time before pulling out the precious scepter.
To be honest, this thing is a bit of a work of art, the pattern on the entire scepter is very beautiful, and the grip is very comfortable.
Roy is now a trainee priest who has learned three divine arts, he can feel the faint power of holy light on the scepter, and when he holds it in his hand, he can also feel that the trace of holy light seems to feed back to himself, and a trace of warm holy light continues to flow into his body along the palm of his hand.
Roy held the Holy Scepter and tried to unleash a 'Shimmer Illumination', but found nothing other than the Shimmer Illumination being a little brighter than before.
Approaching Roy, he unleashed a 'power blessing' on himself.
This time, the blessing effect that Roy felt was relatively clear, and the blessed power attribute was a little higher, which was a very obvious feeling.
Looking at the scepter in his hand, Roy wanted to throw the wooden hammer directly into the sea......
When he tried the 'secondary healing technique', the divine scepter became ineffective again, and it seemed that this divine scepter only had some attribute blessings for the 'power blessing', and no other effects had been found for the time being.
However, it was clear that the crest on the scepter was not activated, so Roy judged that the scepter's power was more than that.
After putting the Holy Scepter back under the bed, Roy pulled out the bottle of 'Permanent Agility Elixir' from his satchel, and he didn't expect this potion to be so valuable.
Pulling the cap of the bottle, the green liquid inside bubbled out again, Roy leaned in and sniffed it, but didn't notice anything strange inside.
He carefully brought the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, and then poured the bottle of cool silk, like bubble water, into his stomach in one go, and finally burped.
Roy only felt a cold breath flowing through his stomach into his limbs, all the joints of his body were undergoing obvious changes, and the fascia at the joints showed obvious signs of itching.
He tried to jump on the spot, and although the height of the jump didn't change much, the moment he took to the air, he felt as if he could keenly grasp every detail of the movement.
Roy clearly felt that the control of his own reflexes suddenly seemed to be stronger.
He pushed open the bedroom door and ran to the terrace as fast as he could, and with a slight leap he stood on the railing of the terrace, which he had never tried before, but now he found that his balance was much better.
Standing on the terrace, he casually did a few sets of elementary martial arts moves, and the original sluggishness on his body disappeared completely, and he could even complete these movements with ease.
Only now did he really feel the ease with which Moira had done it.
It turns out that it will be so comfortable to complete these movements smoothly, and I feel that every muscle and tendon in my body is rhythmic with the movements......
It seems that this 'Permanent Agility Elixir' is really worth the money!
No wonder it's so valuable.
Roy moved around the terrace for a while before returning to his room to sleep.
At night, the drunk Ms. Belinda was actually helped back by Sabrina.
Roy opened the door sleepily, and saw Lady Belinda, who was already drunk and muddy, staggering to the house with Sabrina's help, and immediately ran over to carry Lady Belinda into the room with Sabrina's help.
Roy expertly carried half a basin of water and a towel, and thanked Sabrina repeatedly.
"I saw Ms. Belinda on the street, and a few of her friends saw that I could help her home, so they left in ......a carriage," Sabrina explained.
This was not the first time this had happened, and Roy knew that Ms. Belinda's Silvermoon Elf friends had a very serious prejudice against the Lower City, believing that it was chaotic and unsafe, and that the entire Lower City was infested with countless thieves, robbers, and thugs, and that they simply didn't want to stay for a moment if they weren't trying to send Belinda home.
"Thank you for helping her back, she's very heavy when she's drunk!" Roy said as he helped Ms. Belinda take off her shoes.
"It's okay, it's not early, I'll go back first......" Sabrina whispered to Roy.
Roy helped Lady Belinda untie her headband, and then a wet towel wiped her face before turning back to Sabrina and saying, "Wait, there's a gift for you, this time I went to the jungle of Magara, and I happened to meet a petrified lizard." ”
With that, Roy walked briskly back to his room and pulled out two petrified lizard's front paws from his satchel.
The two front paws are wrapped in oiled paper, and there is no treatment other than embalming, which looks like a faint smell of decay, and there is dark lizard meat inside the lizard skin, which is very ugly.
Neither Roy nor Claire are professional skinners and do not dare to try to peel the skin off their paws lightly.
So all four lizard claws were cut off whole.
"These two lizards have just enough front paws to make a pair of heavy leather gloves, so they should be perfect for you." Roy said as he wrapped the lizard's front paws back and handed them to Sabrina.
Sabrina knew of course that the two lizard claws could be turned into a very nice pair of heavy leather gloves in a week if they were given to a tanner.
But at this time, she suddenly thought of the lizard tooth hanger she saw at Moira's bedside at night, and actually pushed the two lizard claws back, and said inexplicably:
"If I could, I'd like that tooth pendant too."
Roy paused for a moment and glanced at his satchel.
Although the lizard has a lot of teeth, in fact, Roy only made two, which is a fine selection of many teeth, originally he was going to keep one for himself, and now that Sabrina mentioned this, Roy had to take the other one out of his satchel.
"I've only made two, so I'll give them to you if you like them......"
