"This time, I must bring the two of them back to the Moon Temple."

Priest Thorndike puffed up his chest, stood in the vestibule of the Statue of Liberty, and said in a loud voice to the Grand Priest Reed at the entrance of the main temple.

Archpriest Reed didn't even want to talk to Priest Thorndike anymore, and turned and walked towards the main hall of the main temple.

The priest of Thorndike had a very bad face, he had never encountered such a cold reception in his usual conceited manner, and he was also holding back a wave of anger in his heart......

As the elf with the most promising promotion to the High Priest in the Moon Temple of Castletown City, his status in the Moon Temple is second only to the twelve High Priests, and he is one of Elder Sherwood's cronies, and he is also a notoriously ruthless character in the Moon Temple.

"You two stand up!" Priest Thorndike commanded the two young Luna Temple priests.

The two young Moon Temple priests struggled to their feet from the ground, staring blankly at the Thorndike priests.

But before the two of them could take a step, a beam of holy light turned into a prison of light appeared around their bodies, and under their feet was a gorgeous golden divine pattern, countless lines were woven together, like a pattern on the sun wheel, and at the edge of the divine pattern, ridges formed by holy light appeared, and these ridges were pieced together to form a hexagonal holy light cage.

The two priests of the Moon Temple were bound in the cage of holy light, and the next moment they couldn't move.

There was a hint of fierceness in the eyes of the Thorndike priest, and then he stood in the vestibule and chanted a mantra, and a crescent moon appeared above his head, like the light and shadow of the crescent moon on the sea, but the feeling of oppression was very strong, as if the crescent moon in the night sky had fallen on the top of the Thorndike priest's head.

Under the moonlight, the aura of the Thorndike priest became extremely strong.

He placed one hand on his chest to seal it, and the other hand above his head, as if to catch the moonlight.

'Lunar Eclipse'

A beam of moonlight fell like a ray in the direction of the Thorndike priest's finger......

The pale blue beam of light fell on the Holy Light Cage, and suddenly the golden feathers turned into the Holy Light flew all over the sky, but the Holy Light Prison did not move at all.

The priest of Thorndike recited the spell again, and the crescent moon above his head turned into two rounds.

At this moment, he pointed his finger at the Holy Light Cage again, and two rays of moonlight fell at the same time, exploding on the Holy Light Cage.

The light of the moonlight shot out, but the moonlight released by the priest of Thorndike could not break the prison of light at all.

Grand Priest Reed stopped, and he stood at the door of the main hall, his eyes falling on the priest of Thorndike.

The two priests beside the Thorndike priest hurriedly held up the two light shields with nervous expressions.

In the next second, a divine pattern lit up in front of the Grand Priest Reed, and a hammer of holy light smashed towards the Thorndike priest from afar.

The two priests beside the Thorndike priest raised their light shields one after another, standing up in front of the Thorndike priest, and the moment the Holy Light Hammer fell down, the light shield was smashed to pieces, and the two light shields shattered almost in no particular order, and then the two Moon Temple priests were also smashed to the ground by the Holy Light Hammer.

Just as the Holy Light Hammer was suspended in mid-air again, ready to fall again, Priest Thorndike hurriedly raised his hand and shouted at Grand Priest Reed:

"Reed, please wait a minute!"

The hammer of holy light in mid-air stopped, but Grand Priest Reed looked coldly at Priest Thorndike.

"I know where the Holy Grail is! You can come with me to get the Holy Grail of Wisdom, but I'm going to take both of them, and I'll give you the Holy Grail when the time comes, but you're going to let them go......"

"Okay, that's a deal!" Grand Priest Reed readily agreed.

He waved his hand, and the light in the center of the vestibule vanished......

Seeing that after the light prison dissipated, countless feathers of holy light flew into the air, and the rich aura of holy light filled the heart of the priest of Thorndike with frustration.

Even the priests of the Moon Temple on the side were dumbfounded, and the original tall image of the Thorndike priest collapsed in their hearts......

The battle between the two in divine arts, although there is the blessing of the priest of Thorndike who has the power of the moonlight at night, but the gap in the level of the two makes the moonlight magic of the priest of Thorndike almost completely crushed by the holy light......

Regardless, the Thorndike priests eventually led the two young priests out of the Liberty Temple.

Archpriest Reed sits in the carriage of the Temple of the Moon, and Roy and Jasper also wear the robes of the probationary priests and follow Archpriest Reed into the same carriage.

Abt stayed behind to guard the Statue of Liberty.

A group of Luna priests boarded the carriages, and the three carriages quickly left Brown Street in the night.

……

Priest Thorndike sat across from the Grand Priest of Reed with a very bad face.

The carriage was a bit bumpy, and when it turned at the intersection, the outer wheels even left the ground......

The wheels ran over a puddle of water, and the muddy water almost splashed onto the stone wall.

The carriage looked a little dull, and the priest of Thorndike finally took the initiative to speak:

"We didn't steal the Holy Grail, but I do know where it is."

His eyes fell on Roy's, and after a moment of hesitation, he added:

"I know you've found the half-blood thief, and I snatched the Holy Grail from the thief."

Roy's eyes lit up, and sure enough, he killed Peleus.

The Thorndike priest apparently did not recognize his fault.

Killing a half-blood elven thief may be to him to maintain order in the elven world.

That's why his expression is so calm......

Then continues:

"After that, I sent the Holy Grail to Master Claire Latin, his life has come to an end, and it is with the Holy Grail of Wisdom, the Holy Water continues to repair his body, so that his life can continue......"

A priest of the Temple of the Moon was talking about the efficacy of holy water, and the audience was a group of priests of the Temple of Liberty, and the meeting was as bizarre as it could be.

And Roy also found that his previous guess was actually right.

The Holy Grail was indeed hidden in the house of Master Claire Latin, as Bertha had said, but I didn't see it the last time I came.

Realizing that he could not say much about the Holy Grail, the priest of Thorndike added:

"In fact, it is not only the holy water in the Holy Grail that maintains the life of Master Claire Latin, but also the sap of the Tree of Life and the Moonlight Retrospection Technique."

Priest Thorndike's remarks made the Grand Priest Reed speak as well:

"The Castletown Temple of Liberty will be the last to evacuate the Elven Continent, and the Holy Grail of each temple is an indispensable war resource for the Holy War, and you steal ......"

Priest Thorndike hurriedly interrupted Archpriest Reed's words and repeated:

"I took it from a thief, not from your temple, Grand Priest Reed, pay attention to your words, and I did not take it for myself, but put it next to the master elven sculptor in need, and let it be of due value."

"Okay." Grand Priest Reed nodded.

Now that you have the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, you don't care about that.

In the end, the Grand Priest Reed couldn't help but complain to the priest of Thorndike:

“…… I have to say, you moonlit Moon Temple priests are really dark in your hearts......"

Priest Thorndike was so angry that his face turned a little pale, and he was suddenly reluctant to say anything more.

In Roy's opinion, he may be worried that if he talks too much, he will lose ......

The carriage of the Moon Temple drove all the way to the upper town, and there was complete silence in the carriage.

Everybody's thinking about what's on their minds.

The carriage stopped in front of a treehouse, the same one where Roy had last visited Master Claire Latin.

The carriage of the Temple of the Moon took everyone directly to the residence of Master Claire Latin.

……

Thorndike and a group of people stepped out of the carriage and came to the door of the treehouse, knocking lightly.

It wasn't long before footsteps were heard inside the door, and the Silver Moon Elf, who claimed to be a student of Master Claire Latin, pushed open the door from the inside and reappeared in front of Roy.

When he saw the priest of Thorndike, a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes full of sorrow, and he asked a little strangely:

"Priest Thorndike, why are you here? I'm just going to send someone to ask for you. ”

Priest Thorndike pointed to the Grand Priest Reed beside him, coughed twice in succession, and said:

"This is the Grand Priest Reed of the Statue of Liberty, and I am here with Grand Priest Reed this time to take away the Holy Grail of Wisdom placed here."

The Silver Moon Elf was even more surprised, and asked rhetorically:

"The Holy Grail of Wisdom? Didn't you let Priest Theodore take it? ”

As he spoke, he invited everyone into the treehouse, and when he saw Roy, his eyes lingered on Roy for a moment.

The Thorndike priest hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" ”

"Just about three quarters of an hour ago." The Silver Moon Elf replied casually.

The priest of Thorndike raised his eyebrows and said with a disgruntled expression:

"How is it possible, I haven't seen Priest Theodore at all today...... And even if Priest Theodore wanted to take the Grail, you shouldn't let him take it so easily, didn't I say it...... Does Master Claire Latin need this chalice to rejuvenate the body? ”

At this time, the group had already walked to the hall on the second floor of the tree house, only to see a sarcophagus parked in the hall, surrounded by various flowers and ivy branches.

The walls of the sarcophagus are carved with exquisite reliefs, and the thin body of Master Claire Latin lies quietly in the sarcophagus.

A group of elven attendants were moving flower trays from all over the place to the hall on the first floor, forming a sea of flowers.

The Silver Moon Elf said to the group in a deep voice:

The teacher stopped breathing in the evening, and then his body quickly failed, and he didn't have time to drink the last cup of the Tree of Life sap. Priest Theodore happened to be there at the time, and according to the agreement we made with Priest Theodore, we returned the Holy Grail of Wisdom to him in advance. ”

Following Grand Priest Reed to Master Claire Latin, Roy saw the body of Master Claire Latin lying in the sarcophagus.

He seemed to be relieved at the moment, like a sleeping baby, curled up, and there was no longer any painful expression on his face.

Archpriest Reed, Roy, and Jasper only knew at this time that Priest Theodore actually knew about the whole thing.

He knew that the Holy Grail had fallen into the hands of the Silver Moon Elf nobleman, and had been trying to get it back by all means.

It may be that when he and his party arrived at the house of Master Claire Latin, Priest Theodore had already returned to the Liberty Temple with the Holy Grail in his hand.
