Abt sat in the gatehouse at the entrance of the temple, no longer sleepy, and he looked out the window with some reluctance.

There were also several geographical atlases on the table in the porter's room, and a parchment book beside them had some information written down, and Abt made meticulous notes on all the atlases he had browsed.

Only so far, no nautical map has been found that resembles the Treasure Chart......

Of Jasper, Abt, and Roy, he seems to be the only one who has a strong interest in pirate treasures, and spends almost all of his free time searching for nautical maps.

Recently, I've been a little fascinated.

……

Roy looked at the dark night, in fact, he was also a little hesitant, whether to run out so late...... Find the whereabouts of Priest Theodore.

Jasper crouched next to the Nightblade Leopard and looked at the big cat with some awe, and it could be seen that he was still a little scared, especially since the Nightblade Leopard occasionally showed its sharp teeth, and Jasper was even a little afraid to lean over.

"Roy, when did you become so familiar with Mrs. Winnie's Nightblade Leopard?"

"I knew it a long time ago, and I used to hold a stick and try to challenge it......"

Roy said as he took the clothes worn by Priest Theodore to the Nightblade Leopard and sniffed it.

Nightblade Leopard sniffed the dress worn by Priest Theodore in Roy's hand, didn't even look at Roy, turned around and walked towards the crossroads.

Brown Street is quiet at night.

Not far away, the port of Castletown is very lively, and there are still ships calling at the port at this time.

The sea breeze makes the summer nights cooler, and a trace of gray clouds obscures the crescent moon in the night sky, and the streets become darker......

The shops on both sides of the street are almost closed.

At this time, a Nightblade Leopard walked in front, and two half-blood elves followed side by side, and they needed to trot to keep up with the speed of the Nightblade Leopard.

Nightblade Leopard keeps walking uptown......

Roy and Jasper followed, chatting as they went.

"Jasper, how long has it been since you've seen Miss Tiffany?" Roy asked in a whisper.

The night was quiet.

Even if you speak quietly, it will still be clear and spread far away......

"She said she wanted to learn some Naga magic, and the Siren Witch was very strict with her, and I hadn't seen her in over a month......"

Jasper sighed softly and said.

Roy quipped, "I guess I forgot about you." ”

Jasper said bitterly, "Probably not...... But even if she forgets me, it can't be helped, she's Naga, I'm an elf, and there won't be anything between the two of us......"

It was the first time Roy had seen Jasper have such a pessimistic attitude.

The two walked directly through the lower city, this section of the road walked for nearly an hour, even if the two of them were full of strength, but when they crossed the cliff avenue, Roy still pulled Jasper and sat down on the side of the road, ready to rest for a while.

In the lower city, the elven guards rarely come out to patrol at night.

But Uptown is different, this is where the Silver Moon Elves live, and almost every once in a while, the Elven Rangers will appear on the main road.

……

The Nightblade Leopard ran and stopped along the way, constantly sniffing around.

He took Roy and Jasper directly to the front of Master Claire Latin's treehouse, where the glade was very quiet, and after the gray cloud in the night sky drifted away, the moonlight poured into the treehouse.

Originally, the forest of the tree house was a little dark, but through the moonlight in the forest, it became extremely quiet and beautiful......

The Nightblade Leopard took Roy and Jasper to the door of Master Claire Latin's house, which scared Roy, but then Nightblade Leopard went around again, and instead of staying at the door of Master Claire Latin's house, he ran directly to the west.

Nightblade Leopard has traveled a lot, and during this time, he has also made a big circle in Uptown.

Although the Nightblade Leopard had reduced his speed to a minimum, Roy still felt like his legs were filled with lead as he walked all the way.

The Nightblade Leopard can even take Roy and Jasper away from the patrolling Elven Patrols.

It wasn't until a glimmer of light appeared in the sky that the Nightblade Leopard emerged from the treehouse dwelling of the Silver Moon Elves and followed a path to the river.

Many willows grow on both sides of the river, and a large number of branches and leaves hang into the river.

Roy discovers that the river is actually the Dane River, and the location here is also to the west of the uptown, and there are treehouses on the riverside.

After the Nightblade Leopard arrived, it began to stop accommodating Roy and Jasper, and began to run around, searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Priest Theodore, not wanting to let go of anything......

Roy and Jasper hid under the water willow trees by the Dane River, the gurgling sound of the river flowing past them.

It could be seen that the Nightblade Leopard had been spotted nearby.

And there must be some danger around, because every time the Nightblade Leopard crawls out, it hides itself in the shadows.

Soon the Nightblade Leopard locked onto a riverside treehouse, but Roy noticed that the Nightblade Leopard had become more cautious, sneaking almost all the way past and exiting in a stealth state, not even thinking about approaching Roy and Jasper with him.

It came to the water willow tree by the river, and lay down silently beside Roy and Jasper, even squinting its eyes, hiding the breath from its body.

Seeing the appearance of the Nightblade Panther as if it were a great enemy, Roy knew that it must have found something, and that it must be extremely unsafe in the vicinity.

Otherwise, the Nightblade Panther would never be like this......

Roy and Jasper glanced at each other, and they guessed that Priest Theodore might be hiding in the treehouse in front of him.

At this time, the sky was a little brighter again.

Before the two of them could make any moves, they saw that from another direction, a team of elven guards actually surrounded them from all directions under the cover of night.

Even in the direction of the river, there are five elves guarding it.

That's when Roy found out...... It must have been the elven guards who had also discovered the whereabouts of Priest Theodore before launching this round-up.

"What should I do?"

Jasper whispered to Roy's ear.

"I'm keeping an eye here, and I'm going back to Archpriest Reed."

Jasper hesitated, he wanted Roy to go back and call someone, after all, it was more dangerous to stay here, but after glancing at the Nightblade Leopard beside Roy, he felt that he might not be able to control it, so he nodded in agreement.

Jasper then retreated the way he came.

Roy and Nightblade Leopard climbed onto a water willow tree and hid themselves through the dense foliage.

The Nightblade Leopard's body exuded an aura of concealment, and it even wrapped Roy in the same way......

Roy and the Nightblade Leopard crouched quietly on the branches, and the five elven guards guarding the river didn't even notice it.

Roy secretly counted the elven guards he saw, and there were already elven guards guarding the wooden door near the treehouse, and then he saw several elven guards breaking into the door at the same time.

I couldn't hear any fighting......

At least a dozen elven guards rushed into the treehouse.

Roy and Nightblade Leopard waited quietly in the willow tree, and after a few minutes, they heard a window on the roof of the tree suddenly collapse, and a leather-armored priest Theodore emerged from the window of the treehouse, still holding a scepter in his hand.

It's just that the big tree is a little tall, and the windows on the roof of the tree are also very high.

Priest Theodore emerged from the open window and slid down the trunk of the tree, his expression flustered and his body filled with a faint aura of holy light.

But the moment he came out of the treehouse, the elven guards guarding outside had already noticed it, and the elven guards quickly surrounded Theodore.

Priest Theodore slipped from the tree, unable to hold the trunk with one hand, and fell to the ground solidly.

Priest Theodore scrambled up from the ground, quickly drew a divine pattern with the scepter in his hand, and as the incantation was recited, a hammer of judgment appeared in front of Priest Theodore.

As the hammer of light flew out, the elven guards were in disarray.

At this time, Priest Theodore did not dare to linger in front of the treehouse, and ran towards the banks of the Darne River, his left leg still seemed to be a little injured, and he was still limping when he ran.

He runs almost as hard as he can, so he's fast.

The five elves standing in front of him were caught off guard, and were each smashed back two steps by the hammer of light, which gave Theodore a chance to take advantage of it.

When Priest Theodore ran to the river, he leaped into the Dane......

'Puff'

A splash appeared in the Darne, and the voice of Priest Theodore disappeared from the river.

The elven guards who caught up from behind arrived at the river one step later, and two elven guards also plunged into the river, and they dived out dozens of meters away, and emerged from the river one after another.

Unfortunately, the two elven guards did not see any trace of Theodore......

The elven rangers noticed that they had not found Priest Theodore in the Dane, took a deep breath, and plunged headlong into the river again.

……

In fact, by the river, there were also Nightblade Leopards and Roy who jumped into the river with Priest Theodore......

Roy, who often fishes at the beach, is actually quite water-based.

Nightblade leopards can also swim.

Of course, compared to the Naga Sea Clan, whether it is the Nightblade Leopard or Roy, there is an insurmountable gap.

In the river, Roy saw Priest Theodore swim out with all his might downstream.

Roy saw that the Nightblade Leopard was like a big nimble fish in the river, and he had an idea, grabbed the Nightblade Leopard's tail, and then chased it towards the lower reaches of the Dane River at a rapid speed under the pull of the Nightblade Leopard.

Priest Theodore in the river could see a blister behind him, and thought it was the elven guards who had caught up with him.

He didn't dare to show his head on the water, so he held his breath and desperately dived downstream......

With the thrust of the current, Priest Theodore swam quickly in the river.

Nightblade Leopard and Roy were in hot pursuit, and it didn't take long for them to swim out of the river.
