278. Priest

This semester, Roy only had two courses to accept the final assessment, in addition to his very well prepared, Instructor Nora was also the instructor in charge of the assessment of the martial arts class, so Roy easily passed the assessment of both courses.

After leaving Earl Swinburn's treehouse, the party members disbanded at the door.

The instructors need to return to the Elven Academy to deal with unfinished business and report to the Academy for their upcoming adventures.

Roy and Sabrina stood on the road waiting for the carriage, Sabrina pursed her lips and listened to Roy talk about some of the recent events at the academy, and the two were destined to not be able to attend the final ball, nor to Claire's piano performance at the ball.

Sabrina has the blood of a wood elf, and her eyes are not pure ocean blue, with an emerald green luster, but her skin is as white as a silver moon elf.

She is much taller than the Silver Moon Elf, and when she usually has a cold face, she exudes a very strong sense of oppression, especially with a heavy sword behind her, and no one dares to provoke her in the Elf Academy.

However, her arms and thighs do not have obvious muscle contours, but they are very well-proportioned and toned.

She has very few friends, except for the two half-race elf girlfriends who live in Downtown, and then the circle of adventure parties.

Sabrina would smile once in a while, and her smile was very bright.

Miss Christine stood on the steps of the treehouse's doorway, pursed her lips, and looked at Roy, who was standing at the intersection waiting for the carriage.

In fact, the Earl of Swinburne arranged a carriage to send the instructors away, but this proposal was rejected by Instructor Nora because everyone was not on the way.

In the city of Castletown, it is easy to ride in a horse-drawn carriage.

It's just that Roy and Sabrina waited for a long time, and the two stood at the intersection and talked for a long time, as if there were endless topics.

Miss Christine was a little unpleasant......

The Earl of Swinburne put his hand on Miss Christine's shoulder, put his arm around her, turned and walked back to the treehouse, and said:

"I don't approve of your feelings for a half-elf.

The Silver Moon Elves pursue unfettered freedom and romantic love. And the half-elves have the blood heritage of humans, and their views on life will appear more pure.

There have been many Silver Moon Elves who have combined with humans, but they have not ended well, I think the biggest problem they face is lifespan, elves can live for eight hundred years, and half-elves have to be cut in half, only four hundred years, which means that when he finishes his life, you just have the best time in your life.

But...... If you insist on giving it a try, I will give you my full support because...... You are the daughter of the Swinburnes. ”

The heavy fatherly love warmed Miss Christine's heart, but she didn't think about it, so she decisively refused:

"I'm just a little curious about half-blood elves and half-elves, and I don't have that idea yet."

After saying this, Miss Christine could only sigh secretly in her heart.

The Earl of Swinburne smiled slightly, and said nothing else.

Miss Christine was a little more relaxed, she knew her father's temper, and if she nodded her head and agreed, it was estimated that before dark, he might have his elven warriors capture Roy back......

She didn't want that.

……

Roy and Sabrina return to Brown Street together.

Roy goes to the Temple of Liberty to learn the arts, while Sabrina goes home, and she occasionally goes to the fish market to help Lady Gillian sell fish.

In fact, Roy knew that Sabrina's natural divine power should have inherited the bloodline of Lady Gillian, and looking at the way she held a big sword, she looked like Lady Gillian holding a fish-killing knife.

Lately, Roy has been absorbing particles of holy light attached to the Flower of Light every night.

Since last night, Roy has found that the sacred sapling in his body no longer draws holy light, and it seems to have entered some kind of dormancy.

Roy wanted to take advantage of the free afternoon to ask Grand Priest Reed about the 'blessing' magic technique.

Although the name of the Archpriest Reed is not listed in the list of the third batch of expeditionary forces, the Archpriest Reed also knows that his time in Castletown City is short, and recently, as long as Roy wants to learn the magic and knowledge that Roy is interested in, the Reed Archpriest is brainlessly instilling in Roy.

He didn't care if Roy could understand it or not, he memorized these divine patterns first, after all, he could slowly verify them himself later.

Roy has recently learned the 'Blessing of Wisdom', and now Grand Priest Reed has begun to teach 'Blessing of Light', which is completely beyond the scope of Roy's comprehension, according to Grand Priest Reed, this is an intermediate blessing divine technique that only Grand Priests can master.

In fact, the 'Blessing of Protection', which Grand Priest Reed is best at, has not yet been taught to Roy.

According to Grand Priest Reed, the 'Blessing of Protection' is much more difficult than the 'Blessing of Light'.

At least that's what Archpriest Reed thinks.

……

In the study,

Woods was flipping through an encyclopedia, and he was looking up some plant information.

Grand Priest Reed sat across from Roy and listened to Roy talk about the predicament he had been facing......

“…… It's just that it no longer automatically absorbs the surrounding particles of holy light, and everything else is still normal. Roy described as best he could.

Grand Priest Reed kept nodding his head until Roy stopped, and then said to Roy:

"You don't need to do anything special now, you just need to wait for an opportunity to come, the glow of Lady Liberty can't shine on the Elven Continent, I don't understand why you can still have the signs before promotion in this situation, this is indeed the sign before promotion, that's right."

"Lately you need to be quiet and slowly realize the light in your body, maybe sometime...... will be promoted to become a priest. ”

"It's just...... Without the Holy Radiance of Lady Liberty and the power of holy light injected into the body, it is really a little incredible to be able to come this far. ”

Grand Priest Reed stared at Roy with some excitement and suggested to him:

"You can try the Holy Grail of Wisdom and put it on the head of your bed while you sleep."

With that, Grand Priest Reed took the golden chalice of wisdom from his magic belt bag and placed it on the round table.

The Holy Grail of Wisdom radiates a gentle light, like a lamp with a faint light.

Roy stared at the Holy Grail of Wisdom, and he didn't want to bring this trouble home, so he said:

"How can I sleep with such a holy grail at the head of my bed!"

Archpriest Reed felt that Roy had a point, so he proposed again:

"Otherwise, you can take a bath in the holy pool, and maybe you will break through the ...... all of a sudden"

Roy thought about the square pool of holy water in the side hall, and immediately shook his head and rejected the offer of Grand Priest Reed, where the holy water was for the believers to drink......

Archpriest Reed had no choice but to put the Holy Grail of Wisdom in his magic pocket.

Then Roy began to learn the arts.

It wasn't until late in the evening that Roy saw that it was not too early, and then he went home.

Before leaving the Temple of Liberty, Grand Priest Reed asked Roy to bring home two buckets of holy water......

……

Two large barrels of holy water were in Roy's hands......

At first, Roy walked along Brown Street towards his home, and it felt very relaxed, but when he reached the intersection, his arm was a little sore.

He blessed himself with a 'blessing of strength' at the crossroads.

Only then did he easily carry two buckets of holy water home and pour them into the bathtub in the bathroom.

The two heavy oak buckets were more like they were made of wine barrels, and Roy placed them in the courtyard, planning to soak in holy water according to the proposal of the Grand Priest Reed, maybe he could sit in the bathtub and take a bath, and he could be directly promoted to the priesthood.

An elven girl emerged from the wall, looking curiously at the large barrel that Roy had left in the courtyard.

Sabrina walked up and patted her on the head.

Moira squinted and glanced at Sabrina......

The commotion between the two of them immediately made Roy look up.

Moira was seen lying on the side of the wall......

Moira asked Roy, "Do you want to practice martial arts?" ”

"Come on, then."

Roy readily agreed.

Seeing that he was about to go to the Partington plane, Roy felt that every time he and Moira practiced, he had to cherish it.

The space on the terrace was too cramped and easy to break things, so Roy changed the training venue to the backyard.

Moira stood straight in the courtyard, an unbladed dagger clenched against her arm, a confident smile on her face......

Roy picked up the scepter and shield directly, and as soon as he stepped into the grass, he signaled to Moira that he could start.

Moira conjured two figures and rushed towards Roy......

She is like a traveler in the long river of time, and the hands of time will always turn a little faster under her feet.

Roy's judgment of her was always a little slower, which allowed Moira to take the lead with each attack, and then the attacks would continue to pour out, and the short sword in her hand would attack from all angles.

Her battles are definitely not disorganized.

Each action is an assassination technique of the primary combat skill, and it can only be said that it is very cleverly combined, which can not only seize the opportunity, but also control the rhythm, and the short sword in the hand is like a kind of magical magic, with the head and feet in front of and behind the body...... Everywhere.

Every time he fights Moira, Roy is passive.

He's always in a passive situation, and if he didn't have a small round shield, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold out for three rounds in front of Moira.

Recently, when the two of them were fighting, Roy would not use magic or activate the magic pattern circle on the magic pattern structure.

Moira knew that Roy wouldn't hurt her, so she would attack with all her might when she fought, which made her attack very aggressive......

……

Roy raised his shield to block Moira's stabbing sword, and the dagger slashed at the hard shield, sending out a spark......

With a smug smile on her face, Moira's long hair fluttered, the short sword in her hand suddenly disappeared, and the next second appeared in her left hand, clinging to the edge of the shield and slicing at Roy's wrist.

It was at this time......

Roy had a very magical feeling, and he saw that his body was constantly spreading a large amount of holy light power outward.

The soft light turned his shield silver as well, and the shield in his hand had the silver mark of the cross.

The short sword in Moira's hand had clearly cut along the edge of the shield, but she couldn't cut in.

The power of the Holy Light enveloped Roy's body, converging through Roy's body towards the sacred sapling......

The surrounding dots of holy light swirled and converged on the sacred sapling.

He felt the seedlings of the Tree of Light in his body grow rapidly.

Originally, it was only a seedling in the lower abdomen, but it had nine roots of different lengths.

And now, the sapling is growing rapidly in the continuous infuse of holy light, and the original only a few small leaf pods have actually grown a trunk and some branches.

Dense foliage grows on the tree, and a detached root system grows underneath......

Such a tree of holy light was in Roy's body, completely fused with Roy.

The canopy filled with holy light was Roy's head, the solid trunk was his body, the branches belonged to his hands, and the roots of the tree firmly embedded in the dirt were his feet......

Roy noticed that the two sisters, Moira and Sabrina, didn't seem to see the rich light, and they just saw Roy suddenly stop and stare at Roy in some panic.

The sacred tree was hidden in Roy's body, and an invisible barrier in his body seemed to shatter all at once.

That sacred seedling turned into a tree of holy light, and that kind of mastery of power made Roy feel a little uncomfortable.

Roy had already been promoted to a priest at this time......

He lifted his arm, feeling the aura of holy light echo between his arms.

Moira and Sabrina looked at Roy, who had completely stopped in the courtyard, and asked with some concern, "Roy, what's wrong with you?" ”

Roy stood there dumbfounded, staring at his hands, and said with some unconfidence, "I...... I might have been promoted to a priest! ”

Sabrina looked at Roy in surprise, but she didn't expect him to advance without a word.

Moira stood aside and hurriedly said to Roy:

"Roy. Then you can try it and see if the priest will be different when he fights......"

Roy set up the abandoned sacred scepter from the grass and waved the shield on his arm, feeling that the scepter and shield were instantly much lighter......

In an instant, Moira, who had turned into a shadow of light, pounced again.

This...... Even though Moira turned into a phantom, Roy was able to clearly capture Moira's true body, and then waved the sacred scepter in his hand to block, and Moira's short sword seemed to automatically send to Roy's scepter.

Roy catches Moira's movements and successfully blocks Moira's hard blow.

Moira misses the blow and immediately jumps out.

The battle between the two started again, and Roy dealt with it very easily this time, and the two fought back and forth for a long time, and only then did they stop at the urging of Sabrina.

Later, Roy tried to cast the 'Blessing of Strength' and 'Blessing of Wisdom' in the courtyard.

Sure enough, after he became a priest, not only did he increase his strength, agility, and physique, but his mental power also improved even more.

The 'Blessing of Strength' was much easier to cast, and Roy could feel that the 'Blessing of Strength' seemed to be a little more ......

He waved his arm and found that the small round shield on his arm had become fluttering, and it seemed that it was no longer suitable for him.
