189. Storm

Claire stopped and turned her head to look at Roy, waiting for him to continue.

Roy stared at the copper textbook held by the Silver Moon Elf girl, and said with straight eyes:

"I want to buy a magic book, the pages are engraved with several magic techniques, and the copper cover must be thicker, it is not only a sacred prayer book, but also can be used as a shield."

“……”

Claire followed Roy's gaze and saw the two elven girls in front of her quickly disappear behind the bush wall......

He withdrew his gaze and said to Roy:

"Roy, do you know how much a magic book that can record magic skills is worth, the more magic skills recorded on the page, the higher the skill level, the more expensive the magic book, I remember that a magic book that can record four primary magic spells at the same time costs at least more than two hundred magic crystals."

Roy was taken aback: "So expensive? ”

Claire put her arm around Roy's shoulders and explained to him:

"Of course, there are many magic skins that can be engraved with magic patterns, and the most common is the low-level magic skin that makes magic scrolls, but this kind of magic skin can only be used once, and once the magic on the scroll is activated, the entire magic scroll will be destroyed. However, the magic skin that can make a magic book needs to be able to withstand the power of the engraved magic so that it will not be burned when casting a spell, and this magic skin needs to be at least from a magical beast of level 4 or above. ”

Roy only had thirty magic crystals left in his magic belt bag, and according to Claire, he probably couldn't even buy the pages of a magic book with these magic crystals in his hand.

"Well, I'd better go to the forge first and see if there's a shield that suits me."

Claire smirked and said:

"If you have this time, you might as well listen to my 'Bernice', I find that the melody is more powerful after changing the score to play on the violin......"

"Hey, hey! Roy, don't go that fast......"

……

After two classes in the morning, Roy left the Elven Academy quickly, he had to go to the Magic Guild to meet Scarlett Magician, and to see if there were any shields with a good price in the Magic Shop.

Normal shields can be purchased at the blacksmith's shop, but shields with magic resistance can only be purchased at the magic shop in the lobby on the first floor of the Magic Guild.

And anything, as soon as it has something to do with magic, the price increases exponentially.

Roy strode into the Inscription Workshop and asked an elven hostess at the front desk, "Is Scarlett Magician here?" ”

"Yes, please come with me!"

The elven hostess walked out of the front desk and showed Roy the way......

Upstairs, Roy waited for a moment at the door of the magic laboratory, and came from inside the laboratory:

'Come in! ’

Roy pushed the door open and walked in.

There was a shoulder armor on the magic test bench, and Scarlett was putting the finishing touches on the shoulder armor, and when she looked up and saw Roy, she raised her slender eyebrows and asked Roy:

"You're not going to buy the Demon Pattern Construct again, are you?"

"No, I'm here to see you to know something." Roy said.

Scarlett Magician sat in the chair with her back, and the assistant next to her took off her gloves......

"What's the matter, tell me about it!" Miss Scarlett asked, staring at Roy.

Roy asked Scarlett directly, "Miss Scarlett, are there any fire magicians in the Castletown Magic Guild?" ”

Miss Scarlett gave Roy a very positive answer:

"Of course!"

Roy stood in front of the test bench and asked Scarlett again:

"That'...... How many fire mages are there in the Castletown Wizardry? ”

Miss Scarlett thought seriously for a moment, then turned to the female assistant beside her and said:

"Although the number of fire mages is relatively small, there are fire mages who are officially registered with the Castletown Magic Guild...... At least 70 of them. ”

"That's right, counting those outsiders, the number of fire mages may exceed a hundred......"

The female assistant chimed in.

"So much?"

Roy was dumbfounded.

He was going to ...... If there aren't many fire mages in Castletown, they'll investigate them one by one in private.

Now it seems that this idea does not need to be thought of, it will not work at all.

Miss Scarlett nodded and said:

"Well, the elves are missing, but many mages occasionally practice fire magic."

Since he couldn't find out the fire mage from the magic union, Roy had no choice but to leave.

……

The Heavy Warriors of the Silver Moon Elves are Sword Dancers, but Sword Dancers are more adept at dual-wielding one-handed swords or two-handed broadswords, and it is rare for Sword Dancers to hold swords and shields on the battlefield......

Most of the elves who like to use shields are rangers, and the weapons used by the Silver Moon rangers are very mixed, and every Silver Moon Ranger is good at using combat short bows, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, many Silver Moon Ranger is a short sword with a small round shield.

Therefore, most of the shields in the magic shop are small round shields or arm guards that are mainly light and sensitive.

The shopkeeper told Roy that if he wanted to buy a reloaded shield, he would still have to go to the blacksmith's shop, which only had a variety of beautiful metal round shields.

From the wall of the magic shop, Roy also saw a row of round shields inlaid with magic gems, which were said to be worth a hundred magic crystals......

After picking for a long time in the magic shop, I finally picked a small crescent moon shield.

To do this, Roy spent five magic crystals.

The owner of the magic shop also made a point of emphasizing that although this shield is called the Crescent Moon Shield, it is not the very famous epic shield, it is just an ordinary magic shield that can block the fireball technique.

Even so, it was enough for Roy.

……

At the Statue of Liberty, the number of believers who came to the rally continued to decrease......

The choir of 40 members had three lead singers, but now the number of lead singers has been reduced to two, and there are only 20 people left in the choir.

Roy stood in front of the high platform where the Holy Grail of Wisdom was placed, and it only took a little more than an hour to distribute the holy water.

He looked back at the pool of holy water, where less than a fifth of the holy water had fallen.

Not so many believers received the holy water, and the rest of the holy water was enough for Roy to take a bath.

It is said that drinking this holy water containing the power of holy light on a regular basis will help to condense the power of holy light, so Roy also filled his kettle with holy water this time.

When it came time to clean up the main hall, it was only Roy himself.

Originally, the work of the three people fell on Roy alone, and it took him a long time to finish it.

Recently, Roy has been learning the 'Hammer of Judgment' with Grand Priest Reed, but the offensive magic that this priest is suitable for learning is really a bit difficult......

In the past few days, Roy can't even draw a complete divine pattern.

Archpriest Reed was very patient in correcting Roy's mistakes, and every time he came to the study room recently, he would tell Roy about the various books on each row of shelves in the study, according to Archpriest Reed, Roy was not required to read every book, but he had to know what books were in the study......

The second batch of expeditionary forces at the headquarters of the Temple of Liberty in the Elven Continent has been prepared, and when the third group of expeditionary forces is the last group, Grand Priest Reed will also go to Golfito.

The Statue of Liberty in Castletown will be dismantled, and the building will become a shelter for orphans in Castletown's lower town.

Grand Priest Reed said that there was not much left for Roy, and that he would go to the Dark Lands with the Holy Grail of Wisdom, and that all the books in the temple would be given to Roy, and that Roy would move the books in the library to the Black Pearl when Grand Priest Reed left the temple.

……

The people who also thought about the Black Pearl were Benjamin and Abt who were far away in the port of Shumori.

Shusen Harbor is a small fishing port with only a shallow dock suitable for Flying Fish boats, and there are many half-blood elves living near this fishing port.

This is a more pure half-blood elf residence, only the guards and tax collectors on the docks are the Silver Moon Elves, they usually have almost no presence, and the half-blood elves who live here are ostracized by the Silver Moon Elves.

There are large apple orchards around Shusen Harbor, and most of these orchards are owned by Silver Moon Elves, but few orchard owners will hire half-blood elves to work in the orchards, and they would rather pay a high price for Silver Moon Elves......

Therefore, most of the half-blood elves in Shusen Harbor rely on fishing for a living.

Many half-blood elves live in poverty, where life span is not proportional to wealth, and it is not that the longer they live, the richer they become, and whether they have money in their pockets or not has nothing to do with age.

Benjamin took out a sum of money, and Abt intervened, and in just two days, the two recruited thirty-six fishermen who were willing to go to sea in the harbor.

Benjamin and Abt only stayed in the port of Castle for three days, then left the port with thirty-six half-blood elven fishermen and six flying fish boats, and the group thought of returning to the port of Castletown overnight, digging a waterway at night before the tide came, and trying to sail the Black Pearl into the sea at high tide.

In October, the north wind blows on the sea most of the time, as long as the sails are raised when the north wind blows, the lighter sailboats can almost glide on the beach, the Black Pearl is bigger, but if you want to take advantage of the tide to return to the sea, there is still a good chance.

It's just that the group had just gone out to sea when they encountered a sea storm.

Since entering October, it is rare for the Silver Moon Elves to have such extreme storm weather in this sea area, but few does not mean that there are none.

Benjamin and Abt just caught up, and the six Exoces were completely broken up in the storm, and Benjamin and Abt's Exocet held out in the storm for a day and a night, and were eventually overturned by the waves.

After Benjamin's fishing boat capsized, he fell into the sea and fell to the magic handle, and the two lost their way in a cloudy storm, and Benjamin flew for six hours in a row against the storm before finding a reef, and the two set up a tent at the edge of the trees on the reef island to escape the storm......

In the tent, Benjamin looked out at the pouring rain without tears......

The storm completely obscured the blue sky and the sea in front of them, and the two of them didn't even know where they had fallen.

I can only wait for the storm to stop and make plans.

……

On the beach west of Castleton Harbour, the Black Pearl stood still in the raging storm, all sails tied to the crossbars, all windows tightly closed, and the pouring rain fell on the deck, and the collected water flowed down the ship's water collection system into the fresh water collection tank behind the hull.

Once the tank is full, this rainwater flows from the overflow to the outside of the hull.

Tiffany took the form of a Naga mermaid, sitting alone in front of the bronze statue at the bow of the boat, letting the powerful raindrops lap against her body.

I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears, her face was wet.

She looked at the endless sea covered by the rainstorm, and her eyes were full of confusion about the future......

In the last few days, she has been tracking Abt's whereabouts, but this guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and no matter how hard she tries, nothing has been achieved.

She recalled the scene when she had secretly left her home and left the tribe, and the letter she had left for her family was somewhat decisive.

So much so that now she felt remorse, and had the idea of going home, and when she thought of the letter, Tiffany thought that she might as well stay on the Black Pearl for a while.

In recent times, tracking Abt has become almost her entire life.

The magnificent three-colored fishtail was thrown onto the deck, and the Naga mermaid's body was about three meters long, and the tail below the waist accounted for almost two-thirds.

Probably because they need to swim in the sea, the waist of each Naga mermaid is relatively slender and toned, the vest line at their waist and abdomen is very clear, the male chest and abdomen will have muscle blocks with scales like steel plates, and the female has a snow-white belly.

The rain made Tiffany's long hair cling to her head, and she rested her head on the bronze man's shoulder, and it rained like this.

"I know that it's not easy to fish in the sea when it rains so much, you must not have eaten yet......"

Roy carried a small tin bucket and moved little by little towards the bow of the ship against the wind and rain that could almost blow people over.

I really don't know how Tiffany can sit so steadily.

Tiffany heard Roy's voice and turned his head, only to see him standing on the deck stupidly with a tin bucket, one hand still holding the mast at the front of the ship, hunching his body, and there were a few mackerel in the shaking tin bucket.

Tiffany wiggled the fishtail and slid onto the deck, taking the bucket from Roy's hand.

Glancing at him, he said:

"If you want to bring me something, bring a few books, if you want to eat fish, I can go to the sea and pick something fresher, fat and thin, always pick one that matches the edge of the eye, and I just like to eat some oysters and mussels."

After saying that, he shook the fishtail and slid into the cabin.

Roy cautiously followed, and when he walked into the cabin, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"I also like to eat oysters, and seeing that you're okay here, then I'll go back first, and I'll bring you a few books tomorrow."

Tiffany didn't speak, and watched Roy walk out of the cabin before he said in the back:

"There's been no news of Abt lately, so I think he may have left Castletown Harbour......"

"I guess it's just going out to avoid the limelight, and I'm going to come back after all, so you have to be a little patient in this matter, don't be too anxious."

Roy's voice came from under the ship's cabin.

The storm roared outside the cabin, and the sound was not very clear:

"When the weather is good, just walk around, Castletown is still safe......"

It's been a bit of a Kavin lately, don't worry, I'll be able to adjust back in no time
