131. Faith and parting

Downtown, Edward Avenue Guard.

There are also half-blood elves in the street market, picking out stall owners who are about to close their stalls, and buying bargains in their stalls that are marked as handling goods.

Some half-blood elves who had eaten dinner took to the streets, often gathering at the crossroads, and when the music started, the song began to sing.

Some wine merchants strapped the barrels to the flatbed cart and parked at any lively intersection, with a string of cups hanging next to the barrels, no need to sell or peddle, just wait for the elves to sing a good song, someone will come and buy a few glasses of fruit wine, and invite the best elves to have a drink.

The girls always twisted their waists and danced their skirts, sometimes like an open umbrella, sometimes like a fluttering butterfly.

This is the lower town, and the half-blood elves also have a rich nightlife.

At this moment, the elven patrol captain was sitting at his desk with a bitter face, and the magic lamp on the table released a soft light.

In front of his desk was a report with a beginning just written.

He clutched his quill in distress, a report to the highest commander of the Guard.

There is a clear line on the top of the report:

'Honorable Lord Amos......

The Elven Patrol Captain of the Guard wanted to write a report on the accusations against the Luna Temple, about the three Luna Temple priests who were making trouble during the day and arresting the Liberty Temple probationary priests for no reason.

Although he is a Silver Moon Elf and a Cultist of the Moon Temple, this does not mean that he will protect the Priests of the Moon Temple.

As an elven patrol of the Lower City Guard, every time a half-blood elf dies unexpectedly, it is a very painful thing to go to the Moon Temple to ask for a priest.

The priests of the Moon Temple were reluctant to lure in the half-blood elves after the death, sometimes looking for various reasons, and sometimes simply refusing.

Many times, the Elven Rangers had to ask the Lady of Liberty priest to perform a funeral ceremony in the cemetery.

This time, the priests of the Temple of the Moon God arrested the probationary priests of the Temple of Liberty in the downtown market, which was a little excessive.

Not to mention that the lower city is full of believers of the Statue of Liberty, even if these elven guards encounter this situation, they must come forward to stop it, for no other reason, just because the Temple of Liberty will often come out to solve some troubles that the guards can't solve......

If you don't stand up and help the Liberty Temple at this time, if you encounter trouble in the future, can you still count on the Moon Temple?

The elven patrol captain complained silently in his heart.

……

At the same time, in a small conference room behind the Temple of the Moon, the priest of the Temple of the Moon Temple, Thorndike, sat at a round table with a gloomy face.

He never thought that it was now this time, and he thought that the Holy Grail incident had completely subsided, and a small shrimp jumped out, and looking at his signs, he had obviously followed the clues......

If he said that, the priest of the Statue of Liberty might be suspicious of him.

The Thorndike priest took a sip of tea, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

He placed his teacup on the round table, and his eyes fell on the wick at the top of the magic lamp in front of him, the wick carved out of moonstone that emitted a soft glow.

The light in his eyes gradually turned into a holy grail......

As early as half a year ago, the Moon Temple had discovered that the Holy Light of Lady Liberty no longer shone on the Elven Continent.

As the goddess of the elves, the moon god Elune has had fewer believers in the Elven Continent in the last few hundred years.

The main reason is that the god worshipped by the wood elves has become the god of nature, and the dark moon elves worship a moon well......

In order to prevent the devotees from passing too quickly, the Moon Temple also took a series of measures to remedy the mistakes, but most of the measures were meadow.

Only by distributing the sap of the Tree of Life evenly among the Silver Moon Elves can the young people of the Silver Moon Elves make some changes to the Moon Temple.

But for the Luna priests of Castletown, their biggest potential threat is the Lady of Liberty in the lower city.

This is because Castletown is divided into two districts, the upper part is where the Silver Moon Elves live, and the lower part is where the half-blood elves live.

The Moon Temple does not admit half-blood elves as believers, but the number of half-blood elves in Castletown City is almost half.

The Statue of Liberty has been thriving Half-Blood Elves in recent years, and has gained a lot of prestige in Castletown......

While the Temple of the Moon was looking for a solution, the Lady of Liberty's radiance was gone.

It is precisely because of this that a large number of Lowertown half-blood elf believers have withdrawn from the Liberty Temple......

However, at this time, the Statue of Liberty can still hold meetings twice a week.

This is because in addition to the power of holy light possessed by the priests themselves, there is also the golden chalice of wisdom in the side hall of the temple, and by soaking this chalice of wisdom in water, a pool of holy water can be created.

Without this miraculous grail of wisdom, the priests would have done everything, and they would probably not have been able to hold assemblies twice a week.

So...... Priest Thorndike had been planning to steal the Holy Grail of Wisdom from the Temple of Liberty half a year ago, hoping to use it to ...... Let the Temple of Liberty be disbanded once and for all.

Unfortunately, the implementation of this plan was delayed until two and a half months ago.

During this period, another major event happened in the Temple of Liberty, the Elven Continent abolished the Temple of Liberty on a large scale, and all the priests gathered at the temple headquarters in Golfito, and then the news came that the Temple of Liberty wanted to crusade against the Dark Lands.

And this kind of thing is exactly what the top leaders of the Moon God Temple want to hear.

Therefore, during this period, the orders issued by the upper echelons of the Moon Temple could not prevent the priests of the Temple of Liberty from conquering the Dark Lands.

If Castletown Probationary Priests want to enter the Dark Lands, they must have the Holy Grail of Wisdom, otherwise they will not be able to replenish the power of the Light after entering the Dark Lands.

The priest of Thorndike sat at the round table with a gloomy face, and now the chalice that had been left behind was a problem for Thorndike.

……

In the evening, Roy returned home just in time to see Belinda tidying up the studio on the second floor......

Many of the half-length art statues in the studio have been packed, and now the studio on the second floor is a mess.

Ms. Belinda is going to go to Buenos tomorrow, so she has to pack all kinds of carry-on luggage now.

Roy will stay in Castletown to continue his classes.

Although Ms. Belinda is a little uneasy, Roy has proven his ability to live completely alone.

Before leaving, Ms. Belinda had a lot of reluctance......

Roy took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and climbed up to the second floor to help Ms. Belinda pack her luggage, and also to relieve Ms. Belinda, who was worried:

"Don't worry about me, the academy will be busy with study tasks recently, I can take care of myself."
