148. Vengeful Benjamin

"The elves of the Guard patrol investigating the Thorndike priests."

"In the morning, two elven guards came to the temple and asked a lot of questions, and I just told them that when you were investigating the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, you were also hindered by the priest of Thorndike, and even wanted to bring you back to the Moon Temple."

Jasper whispered to Roy with his hands propped on the round table.

He had been looking for information about the Dark Lands recently, and the book on his desk was "The Illustrated Guide to Dark Land Creatures", but it was a bit old, and many of the dark creatures were very brief and vague.

The Temple of Liberty knows very little about the Dark Lands, and even some of the probationary priests don't know that there are such places in the world.

But at this moment, Roy's attention was completely focused on Jasper.

"That's what you told them?" Roy asked, wide-eyed.

Jasper nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Well, the Thorndike priest should be targeted by the elven guards. ”

"Isn't the theft of the Holy Grail of Wisdom over? Priest Theodore also confessed, how could the elven guards of the guard still hold on to the priest of Thorndike? ”

Roy asked, confused.

Jasper continued:

"It is said that the Castleton Guard and the Temple of the Moon have had some contradictions a long time ago, the priests of the Temple of the Moon are unwilling to hold funeral ceremonies for some elves who died unexpectedly, but this kind of thing is the responsibility of the guards, and it is good to say here in the lower city, if you can't invite the priests of the Temple of the Moon, there will be the priests of our Temple of Liberty to do it, but the upper city often becomes very embarrassing, and it is usually the families of the Silver Moon Elves who come forward to invite the priests of the Temple of the Moon."

Jasper then put his head to Roy's ear again, as if to say something very remarkable:

"I've also heard that the priests of the Temple of the Moon hold funeral ceremonies to collect benefits......

"Charges?" Roy asked, somewhat surprised.

Jasper nodded repeatedly, "Yes." ”

Roy didn't think there was anything wrong with collecting some money when the funeral ceremony was held.

However, he also seemed to understand where the contradiction between the priests of the Moon Temple and the elven guards of the guard was, and he sighed and said:

"No wonder they don't want to accept the commission of the elven guards of the guards, the guards probably won't give them money."

Jasper nodded affirmatively:

"That's about it."

……

It's been nine days since Ms. Belinda left home for Buenos, and Roy hasn't received any news yet......

Recently, Moira has been learning the elven sword dances in the magic crystal all day, according to Sabrina, these sword dances should also have a corresponding set of breathing methods, if not matched with unique and breathing hair, these elven war dances are just three sets of advanced elven body skills.

Roy had promised Count Amelia and Xavier to keep a record of what was happening in Castletown, so he had recently made a diary diary.

Every two months, Roy writes a letter to Xavier.

As for Earl Amelia, Roy needs to go to Ellington Castle in person, and the next time he plans to go to Ellington Castle, he will ask Earl Amelia about these elven war dances.

Moira was on the terrace, tucking her dagger into her scabbard, she had learned a dance of radiance, which she was still practicing.

"Roy, I heard from my sister that you had a conflict with those half-blood elves during the day?"

Moira picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off her face.

In such a hot summer, even if you dance a sword dance at night, you will be sweating profusely.

"It's nothing, it's just a quarrel, everyone is more restrained, no one does it!"

Roy sat on a deck chair on the terrace, fiddling with the log shield in his hand, which was already the fourth shield he had replaced......

The biggest disadvantage of this type of log shield is that it is not very strong.

……

Another day.

In the morning, Roy rushed to the elven academy to go to school, and as soon as he walked into the training ground, Claire pulled him and dragged him directly under a tree.

whispered to him:

"Roy, have you heard, there's a big news from the Luna Temple."

Roy whispered back, "What's going on?" Is it a Thorndike priest thing? ”

Claire blinked and stared at Roy, but she didn't expect Roy to guess.

"Priest Thorndike was jointly sued by the Hayer family to the Council of Elders because he privately accepted the benefits of Baron Hayer, but did not cure Baron Hayer's illness, and after the investigation of the Silvermoon Patrolmen, the matter has been confirmed."

Claire then said with great disdain:

"This Thorndike priest often treats elves in private, but all the treatments are paid, and there is no money to hire him."

"It is said that this time the Elder Sherwood of the Temple of the Moon God has personally intervened, and at present, the priest of Thorndike has been removed from all positions and imprisoned in the temporary prison of the guards."

After saying that, Claire said in a lower voice:

"I also heard that the priest of Thorndike actually has four divine servants in his house, who are dedicated to serving him, and the specifications are higher than the elders of the Moon Temple."

There were four servants in the house, which was probably the real reason for Elder Sherwood's anger.

The priest of Thorndike was so bold......

……

Castletown Library, Ground Floor Hall.

Rows of shelves were filled with books, and there weren't many elves in the library in the morning.

Abt walked into the library counter with a few geographical atlases in his hand, and he returned them before entering the borrowing area.

He was already familiar with the layout of the hall on the first floor, and went straight to the geographical area.

Standing in front of a row of bookshelves, he had already flipped through the geographical atlas on the ground floor.

Now he was going to find a ladder to climb and take a look at the third or fourth floors of the bookshelf.

There are many geography books on the shelves, but not many books with maps on them.

Abt looked at the bookshelf blankly......

He had always borrowed books on the spot, and when he saw which one might be useful, he brought it back to the temple to read it......

Not far away, two library keepers pushed a flatbed cart and put the books on the cart back to the shelves.

It's quiet in the library......

As Abt was scrummaging through some might be useful geography books, through the cracks in the shelves, he saw a human magician, and their eyes collided.

Abt was startled by the human mage opposite, and the two geography books he had just found fell on the stone slab.

The magician hurriedly walked over from the opposite side......

By this time, Abt had already picked up two geography books.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect anyone ...... on the other side," Benjamin said to Abt in fluent Elfish.

"It's nothing, you don't have to apologize, it's not your fault!" Abt held the geography book and said with some restraint.

Benjamin looked at the geography book in Abt's arms and asked him, "What are you looking for?" ”

"Some charts related to the Endless Sea." Abt said casually.

Benjamin looked up, glanced around the bookshelves, and asked, "Do you want to know some nautical maps?" ”

Abt didn't want to say more, but he nodded politely to the human magician.

Benjamin smiled and pointed to the bookshelf to the side:

"Although this row you are looking at is also a geography book, most of these are introductions to the inland terrain of the Elven Continent, even if there are some charts, it is also the coastline of the Elven Continent, there is no chart of the Endless Sea here, the chart you are looking for is here......"

Benjamin pointed to a corner of the bookshelf, then walked over with Abt.

Sure enough, Abt found a number of charts about the Endless Sea here, and then, at Benjamin's suggestion, Abt easily selected three books.

Abt walked out of the borrowing area with two geography books in his hand, side by side with Benjamin.

He felt that Benjamin knew a lot about the sea, so he asked curiously:

"You seem to know a thing or two about sailing?"

Benjamin squinted his eyes and said very humbly:

"Actually, it's okay, I've read a lot of books about this, so I naturally have some understanding of the Endless Sea, the Twin Seas, the Frozen Sea, and the chaotic Seven Seas."

When Abt heard Benjamin say this, his eyes lit up completely, and he immediately couldn't help asking:

"Do you know where to find the complete charts of the Endless Sea?"

Benjamin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, lowered his voice and said to Abt:

“…… There will be no such thing as a complete chart, because these precious charts are the most valuable treasure that the captains have spent their lives exploring, how could they give such a precious treasure to others? ”

Seeing that Abt was a little disappointed, Benjamin said:

"If you want to find charts in the Endless Sea, you can actually go to the Adventurers' Guild or the Navigators' Guild, many captains will join these two associations, they will get some information from each other in the associations, if you want more detailed and private charts, you can try your luck in those two places, of course, not all captains are willing to take out their detailed charts for free, maybe you need to pay a little price."

Hearing Benjamin's advice, Abt's eyes lit up again.

He took the initiative to stretch out his hand, smiled at Benjamin and said:

"Thank you for the information, oh! By the way, my name is Abt, and I don't know your name yet......"

Benjamin rolled his eyes slightly, and then replied, "My name is Wales, and I am a half-elf magician. ”

Abt smiled and said, "I see, I have a friend who is a half-elf like you, and if I have time someday, I will introduce you two to each other, and his wish is to become a navigator." ”

"Okay!"

The two went to the front desk, and Abt borrowed three books, then took his leave to Benjamin, turned around and went to the library immediately.

Benjamin, the magician, had been standing in front of the bar, watching Abt's back and not leaving.

Although he had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold......
