Raindrops from the sky crackled against the glass windows of the captain's quarters, and the rain flowed down the glass, leaving water marks on the glass.

Tiffany leaned against the window of the captain's cabin, and she sat on a bench with the huge fishtail laid flat on the chair.

Through the blurred glass window, Roy could still be seen walking in the rain against the wind, and he was slumped and walked with difficulty.

On the western shore of Castletown Harbour, waves swept in and washed onto the beach, like countless brave and fearless warriors, setting off countless white waves on the sea reef.

In the tin bucket at the door, there is also half a bucket of fresh mackerel......

Roy brought the fish over, and left in a hurry without sitting in the cabin for a moment.

Tiffany retracted her gaze and turned her head to look at the rough sea, she sighed softly, this time in order to run out to find Jasper, she almost broke with the family completely, and the letter before leaving, it was written that she was going to find love and freedom.

Tiffany hadn't even been able to finish all of her magic classes, she just learned Transfiguration and some elementary ice magic before saying goodbye to her teacher.

She had given up everything her family had given her, and she had given up the marriage contract her had made for her, but now Tiffany was confined to this large ship that could not sail on the sea, like a wanderer with no fixed home......

Jasper is dead, and she realizes that what she has done has become meaningless.

Tiffany blinked, and the mermaid had no tears.

Her eyes fell on the ship, at the helm wheel in the captain's room, at the masts on the deck outside the window, at the sails tied to the crossbars, and at the countless ropes and nets, which were so backward compared to the Naga ships.

In the empty captain's room, there were no even the most basic nautical charts, except for the rudder.

A rope connected to the bronze bell on top of the mainmast, and Tiffany reached out and tugged on the rope, and the bronze bell on the mainmast rang immediately.

Fortunately, the weather outside was bad, wind and rain, and even if the bronze bell rang, the sound could not be heard too far.

Tiffany was alone on the ship, casually lounging.

Pushing open the door of the paddle room, Tiffany entered the long and narrow room, and saw that the outer windows were actually sealed with wooden boards, and the huge oars hung from the roof of the room in the corner.

When I opened a wooden plank that closed a window, a fierce sea breeze blew in with raindrops.

Sticking to the window, Tiffany faced the storm and poked her head out of the window to look at the rough sea......

……

As we enter November, the weather in Port Castleton is getting cooler.

Tiffany investigated for many days, but unfortunately had no clue......

I have to say that elves are still relatively xenophobic, and they don't casually leak information to strangers.

The investigation on the Elven Patrol side of the Guard also made no progress.

Abt could not be found, and Tiffany had no intention of leaving, so she stayed aboard the Black Pearl.

Under Tiffany's arrangement, the Black Pearl finally had some breath of life, and Roy brought Tiffany a basket of lemons and squeezed the lemon juice on top of the open oysters, which made the Naga people who live in the sea all year round feel too delicious.

Although the war between the elves and the Naga has been over for many years, not only have there been no contact between the two races, but there is no even trade.

Therefore, the Naga Sea people live at the bottom of the sea all year round, and they are rarely able to eat fruits, so that some fruits are high-end foods that only the Naga royal family can afford.

Lemon is a fruit that is only used to make fruit tea in Castleton.

Although the Silvermoon elves eat fish, they never eat the shelled creatures of the sea, so no elf has ever squeezed lemon juice on top of oysters, and the lemon that Roy brought is a new dish on Tiffany's recipe.

Tiffany's recent week has been a frequent visitor to the library in Castletown.

At first, she went to the library just to investigate the news of Abt, but after a few days of research in the library, she found that Abt hadn't been seen since that night, and the trail was broken......

However, she figured out the library's borrowing procedures, and Tiffany began to patiently learn Elven language on the Black Pearl, as well as reading some books on the history of the Silver Moon Elves.

She would bring the borrowed books back to the Black Pearl, and then sit quietly by the ship all day......

Since Tiffany lived on the Black Pearl, Roy rarely visited the Black Pearl, usually he would visit Tiffany on Saturday evenings, and occasionally bring her some groceries.

Recently, Roy's life has become calm and regular.

His nightly martial arts sparring with Moira has also been changed from the patio to the lawn in the backyard, and occasionally Moira and Roy will team up against Sabrina.

I have to say that Sabrina's two-handed greatsword is still quite powerful.

Even if Roy or Moira join forces, they can only support Sabrina for a quarter of an hour, often either Moira is too aggressive, or Roy can't stop Sabrina's heavy sword attack.

It took Roy three weeks to finally learn to draw the Hammer of Judgment.

Grand Priest Reed said that Roy was the most gifted of all the probationary priests he had ever met.

It's a pity that the world is not good, the holy glow of Lady Liberty has disappeared, and the priests have lost their way to promotion.

Grand Priest Reed asked Roy to learn these low-level magic techniques, just so that he could have some power to protect himself.

Roy does not plan to enter the Dark Lands, which means that he will officially leave the Temple of Liberty during the Temple's third expedition......

In fact, Roy is only a trainee priest, and he is not officially registered with the Statue of Liberty here, he is more like a temporary worker in the Lady of Liberty who knows a little magic.

So when leaving the temple, Roy didn't need to perform cumbersome rituals.

The Hammer of Judgment has a very long prayer that Roy now practices almost every day at the Statue of Liberty.

Even though it was personally supervised by Grand Priest Reed, this part of the practice was still progressing slowly.

……

November is graduation season for some of the students in the Elven Academy.

This semester is officially over in two weeks.

Most of the students, including Roy, are about to face the final exam, which is the most headache for the college.

The Elf Academy is a rigorous academy, and the entry threshold is very low, as long as you are willing to pay tuition, the academy doesn't even care if the student is a Silver Moon Elf......

During the whole semester of learning, some courses are relatively easy, and some courses are more difficult, and I don't even dare to ask for leave.

Teachers have different requirements for students......

However, during the period of the final exam, whether it is the teacher who usually asks for the requirements, or the teacher who usually asks for the laxity, in the final exam, will become selfless, and those students who usually do not learn solidly, once they fail to pass the exam, will continue to retake the course in the next new year until they pass the exam or give up.

Roy has been busy juggling exams for three courses lately, and he's one of those who usually has fewer classes and is more relaxed.

However, the exam of the geography class in the Elven Continent is notoriously difficult, and the pass rate will not be higher than 60% every year, and the final exam questions issued by Mr. Harper are also notoriously difficult.

In contrast, Princess Ophelia's elven modern history exam is relatively easy, otherwise there wouldn't be so many elves lining up to report her elven modern history.

For Roy, the easiest thing was the exam for the martial arts training class on Instructor Nora's side.

Martial arts rely on usual training and accumulation, Roy first met the slave traders of the Kumquat this semester, and later met Captain Ralph of the Seawolf, and also had a bumpy experience in the outdoor practice class.

So this semester, he studied martial arts the hardest.

It's like an obstacle course at the beginning of the school year, and Instructor Nora prepares for the test without prior notice as the end of the semester approaches......

Instructor Nora separates the physical fitness test from the martial arts test completely.

For a warrior, strength, agility, and physical strength are the basic attributes, and if they can't meet the standards, Instructor Nora will definitely not pass the elementary martial arts training course.

When Roy and Claire arrived at the training ground in the morning, they saw some elf students who arrived first in line, and many of them had sad faces.

In contrast, the expressions of those half-blood elves were more relaxed.

The Silver Moon Elves are naturally weaker, and they are better at using martial arts, so this kind of basic test is what the Silver Moon Elf students are most afraid of.

Seeing those items on the training ground, Claire was also a little dumbfounded.

The first is to split a log the size of a bucket in half, which takes no more than three minutes.

Instructor Nora uses precise hourglass timekeeping, and prepares the toughest oak.

The elves in the front of the line, when choosing the wood section, will choose some dry logs, of course, the last one does not have to choose......

The second event is also a time-limited obstacle run, and it can be seen that the elves waiting at the origin of the obstacle run have relaxed expressions.

The third test was endurance, in which the Nora instructor asked the students to hold their feet and hands on a log post without any points of force for a quarter of an hour.

The third test is not the advantage of strength, not only the strength of the hands and feet, but also the weight of the lighter......

The latter two items were probably not difficult for Claire, he just glanced over there and stopped looking.

The two came to Instructor Nora, who was recording the results, and Instructor Nora marked the names of the two men, then pointed to the strength test, and said to the two:

"You two go ahead and line up over there!"

Claire ran to the pile of logs with a bitter face, intending to find as much wood as possible for herself, which looked drier, and ran to the rack of weapons where the felling axes were placed, intending to choose an axe to take advantage of and polish the blade well.

Although Roy doesn't usually chop wood, he still uses some firewood when he occasionally frying fish at home.

As a result, he still has some experience in chopping wood, and he has been using sticks and shields in his recent sparring sessions, and he thinks that he must be qualified in terms of strength.

In order to help Claire find some hacks to chop wood, Roy lined up in front of Claire.

In the first test, although Roy was also a little nervous, he was more excited and excited when he saw the anti-wood chips flying on the test site.

Claire followed behind Roy, a little apprehensive in her heart, and whispered to Roy:

"Roy, or you will secretly bless me with a blessing of strength later......"

Roy turned his head to look at Claire and whispered to him:

"I think if we do this, we will definitely insult the IQ of Instructor Nora, and we may not need to explain it at that time, and our names will definitely be on the retake list......"

Claire's face changed when she heard Roy say this, and she didn't say anything more.

The two didn't wait long, Roy picked up a logging axe, first checked the blade of the axe, saw that the sharpness was okay, and stood in front of the test bench.

Instead of choosing a log, two young teaching assistants carried a log over to a test of ten students at the same time, each with a log in front of them, and everyone stood in front of the log with their loggers in their hands.

Instructor Nora held an hourglass, and as she gave the order, the ten elven students began to chop the wood with all their might.

Roy found that he actually had a lot of skill in cutting this piece of wood.

It must be cut straight down first, then slightly to the left, cut down, and then slightly to the right, so that the log will soon be cut out of a huge gap.

When the gap was almost halfway there, Roy decisively ran to the log and turned it over in front of everyone.

This makes it much easier to cut the log.

Claire watched from the back of the group and waved happily at Roy when she saw that Roy had easily cut off the log and passed the strength test in just two minutes.

Roy walked up to Claire from the test bench and whispered a few hacks to him about chopping wood.

Claire's confidence suddenly increased, and he walked to the test bench with a confident face, and when his group began to chop wood, the confidence on Claire's face disappeared all at once.

The seemingly ordinary chopping of wood was not so easy in his hands, and an axe slashed into the wooden segment, and the blade of the axe was caught in the log......

Not only did her hands go numb, but it took a lot of effort for Claire to pull out the axe.

The next thing was a little smoother, and Claire felt that she had already exceeded her performance, not wasting a single moment, and she was starting to use her full strength.

Even so, Claire only cut the log at the moment when the hourglass just leaked.

barely passed the first test, and the moment she saw the hourglass leaking, Claire was really scared into a cold sweat.

Later, Roy and Claire prepared to do the obstacle course test, and Instructor Nora was still in front of the strength test team, registering the students one by one......

"You! Open your mouth. ”

Instructor Nora yelled at the Silver Moon Elf student in front of him with a cold face.

The elven student, who looked a little thin, trembled in fright, and quickly opened his mouth.

Instructor Nora didn't look at it, and said with a cold face: "Come back next year!" ”

The elf student still wanted to defend himself, and said with an aggrieved face: "Instructor, I ......"

Instructor Nora didn't give him a chance to speak, turned to the next student to come up, and said:

"There's a smell of the Lion King's Power potion in your mouth, you think I can't smell it?"

The Silver Moon Elf's face turned pale, and then he walked away with a look of shame.

Roy felt that Instructor Nora should not be able to smell the Lion King's Power Potion, and she must have some other way to find out that the elven student was taking the Lion King's Power Potion.

If the stone is committed, I am really a Buddha, let me be lazy for another day
