149. Ralph returns

At this moment, Roy didn't know that Abt and Benjamin, a wizard who incarnated as Wales, actually met in the library.

He was in his study, telling Jasper about the priesthood of Thorndike.

He had a bad impression of the Thorndike priest, and when he heard that the elven guards of the guard were investigating him, he felt a little sad in his heart, and heard that he had been removed from his position by the Temple of the Moon God, and felt that he deserved it.

Now he actually hoped that the theft of the Holy Grail of Wisdom would be judged fairly, after all, some things could be clearly seen that Theodore had no chance to do, such as killing the half-blood elf Peleus......

In fact, he also wanted to know who killed Peleus's sister Windsor, a murder that no one mentioned at the Inquisition on Sunday.

If the investigation of the Thorndike priest were to be reopened, it would likely lead to the death of Peleus.

Of course, this was just Roy's expectation.

Roy didn't see Abt in the porter, and he wasn't seen in the study, except Jasper reciting prayers alone in the study.

Roy picked up the book 'Purification Explained' on the bookshelf again, and silently recited the prayer.

In fact, he would have preferred to have learned the 'Hammer of Judgment', but Grand Priest Reed said that the Hammer of Judgment and the Hammer of Punishment can only be learned after becoming a priest, while the 'Hammer of Sanction' can only be learned after becoming a High Priest.

The prayers to be recited are long, and not only the words must be memorized, but also the tone of the recitation.

In fact, when the prayer is combined with the divine pattern, the caster still needs to find those wonderful nodes by himself.

Therefore, it is not easy to succeed in the first application, and it requires various attempts by the caster.

Of course, if there is a very detailed explanation of the magic casting, and there is a very responsible teacher, this learning process will be infinitely shortened.

Of course, luck and talent are also indispensable and important factors.

Jasper and Abt thought that Roy's luck had always been good, otherwise he wouldn't have been promoted in such a short period of time.

Roy sat down across from Jasper, opened the book of magic, and chatted with Jasper habitually before he began practicing:

"Did Abt go to the library again?"

"Well, this guy isn't dead yet." Jasper said angrily.

It doesn't look like the relationship between the two has been eased in any way.

The three of them were very good friends, but now there was a rift, and if he had known about this, Roy would rather not open the safe.

He was closer to Jasper's thoughts, believing that the treasure was more likely to be a trap, not to mention that the dwarven captain Ralph was now missing, not confirmed dead.

Even if he died, wouldn't he have a son or a subordinate?

Is the treasure of a pirate necessarily left to outsiders?

Roy liked the Black Pearl more than the pirate's treasure.

Yes, the sea ship currently belongs to the three of them, and it is stranded in the shallows.

Even if there is a high tide, the Black Pearl will not be able to enter the sea at this time......

For Roy, the ship was more like a big house by the sea, with a sea view villa above the deck and a terraced house below the deck, and so many rooms......

The boat is also very well equipped, with bedrooms, kitchen, activity room, etc.

"Do you want to clean up the Black Pearl at night?" Roy asked Jasper.

It has always been Jasper and Abt who cleaned the Black Pearl before, but now that Abt and Jasper have quarreled, Jasper is the only one left to clean the Black Pearl.

Roy felt like he should do something too.

When Jasper heard Roy say this, he immediately stretched his brows and said happily:

"Okay."

……

Roy and Jasper leave the Statue of Liberty at dusk.

By the time the two of them left the temple, Abt had already returned to the temple, and was sitting alone in the porter, flipping through a nautical atlas with relish.

It's been so long, and Abt has finally found the right book.

Abt didn't notice Jasper and Roy leaving the temple.

Walking through the harbor docks, Roy noticed that the piers actually saw patrolling elven warriors, and the armor on their bodies was very different from the leather armor worn by the elven guards of the guards, and it should have been sent by the garrison......

The fish market on the pier is almost over, but it's still lively.

Passing by the small square next to the port wharf, although the sun has not yet set, there are already two rows of horse-drawn carriages parked in the square.

Roy and Jasper turned their heads to look at the castle by the sea on the lonely cliff, the white buildings were painted with gold in the setting sun, and the guards at the gate of the castle could be seen, and it looked like there was going to be a ball in the castle by the sea tonight.

I think of the proposal that Mr. Harper had proposed to the Council of Elders to turn the castle by the sea into a military fortress......

How could it be!

The elves were accustomed to a life of luxury and comfort, and it was impossible for them to turn such a beautiful castle into a military fortress unless a war broke out.

Jasper suddenly stopped, he turned his head to look at the white castle on the lonely cliff, and asked Roy beside him:

"Roy, that day...... Is the castle as lively as it is today? ”

Roy thought about the embarrassed appearance of the two of them that day, and said with a smile:

"There may have been more elves at the ball that day, and the whole small square was almost full of carriages, and the guests at the ball may not have arrived yet."

However, the two of them gained a lot from that distress.

Jasper reaps love, and Roy reaps a sacred scepter.

The three of them were given the Black Pearl......

Jasper asked curiously:

"So that's how you rushed all the way to the gates of the castle?"

He said, gesturing with his hand.

"Of course not, in fact...... When I came to the small square, I was stopped by Princess Ophelia's guards, but I was embarrassed at the time, and they told us about our predicament, so they were very supportive of me to ask Princess Ophelia for help, and when I was stopped at the gate of the manor, I met my friends from the Elf Academy, and when I broke into the dance floor, I found that Princess Ophelia was actually my history teacher......"

Roy whispered.

He had only passed through these at first, and had never explained them to Jasper in detail.

The two passed by the small square, and just as they were talking, Roy talked about how he had asked Princess Ophelia for help.

Jasper was also dumbfounded for a while, he didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns.

The two of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the beach on the west side of the pier, when the tide was just rising, and the rising water had already surrounded the Black Pearl.

The two could only wade aboard the Black Pearl.

As soon as he landed on the deck, Jasper walked briskly to the door of the ship, stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden door open, his face immediately became nervous, and he turned his head and whispered to Roy:

"Roy, someone has been here, and they have gone into the building and walked around......"

Roy hurriedly took out a round wooden shield and a wooden stick from his magic waist bag and held them in his hand, first blessed himself and Jasper with a 'power blessing', and then released a divine glimmer before entering the first floor of the ship.

Roy doesn't usually come over, and Jasper is almost always cleaning here, so it's easier for him to notice anything unusual on the ship.

"Could it be Abt who came?" Roy asked.

Jasper shook his head and said with great certainty: "It's not him, I set up this cordon with him." ”

"Did he leave?"

Roy held the wooden stick a little nervously and stood in the doorway.

Jasper stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, this room belonged to Jasper, and the other furnishings in it were not moved, only the wardrobe by the wall was opened, and the long dresses that were originally hanging in it were gone.

"It's the Blood Elf mage who has returned!"

The two said almost at the same time.

She didn't die. Roy couldn't help but think......

Then the two went to Abt's room, and no one broke into his room.

Walking up to the second floor of the ship, Roy's room didn't seem to have changed at all.

The two of them carefully searched the two floors below the deck, but found no obvious traces.

Without daring to stay on the Black Pearl again, Roy and Jasper relocked the door and hurried away.

"You'd better be careful these two days, I don't want to do another rescue operation." Roy said it very bluntly.

Jasper also wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some caution:

"You know, every time I come here, I'm very careful, and I've set up some cordons, so if someone breaks in, I'll find out quickly."

Leaving the Black Pearl, Roy saw the lights on in the seaside manor, and the sound of melodious music could be heard in the distance......

Apparently there was a ball going on inside the castle by the sea.

Roy and Jasper waded back to the harbor docks, and as they passed through the small square, Roy saw Squadron Leader Simpson patrolling the small square on a white horse with a team of elven guards.

When I saw an acquaintance, I naturally wanted to run over to say hello.

Roy stood at the edge of the square and waved vigorously to Captain Simpson, and saw Squadron Leader Simpson holding the reins of the white horse and looking over to Roy.

Roy ran over quickly:

"Good evening, Squadron Leader Simpson!"

"I remember your name was Roy, I didn't expect to meet you!"

Squadron Leader Simpson rode his horse and said with a smile to Roy.

"Squadron Leader Simpson, I just found ......"

Roy told Squadron Leader Simpson about what they had just found on the Black Pearl before leaving with Jasper.

Jasper returns to the temple......

Roy crossed the intersection and ran home before dark.

……

At night, the sea breeze rustles the vines of the dense trees on the cliff wall by the sea.

A few dozen meters away, the sound of cheerful music could be heard from the clifftop castle, and the sea breeze was still mixed with the rich smell of ale, and Ralph hid in a bush of trees, constantly raising his nose to smell the smell of the fine food and wine.

A pair of bell-sized eyes scanned the dancing Silver Moon Elf nobles in the castle......

There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
