Chapter 17 17. Tracking

After walking out of the temple, Roy felt filled with a sense of accomplishment, having actually learned the magic.

On Brown Street at dusk, the shadows of the buildings on the street are stretched very long. The sun has not yet sunk into the sea, but the sea in the distance is already sparkling...

On the coastline not far away from the feet, the sea water receded to its lowest point, and the reef where Roy often fished was completely exposed.

Some elves in shabby clothes were chasing the sea on the beach. Almost all of them were residents living near Brown Street.

Only the top of the Statue of Liberty in the temple courtyard can still be bathed in sunlight, while other places including the temple are no longer exposed to sunlight.

There are very few people on the pier, and only when the tide is high will ships dock.

At this time, in the shallow water area on the pier, small wooden boats have been stranded on the mudflats.

When the tide goes out, Ms. Gillian usually rests at home.

Roy held two textbooks in his arms and bought a breadfruit for twenty-eight kolers when passing by a fruit stall.

There were five pieces of pulp in this breadfruit, which was enough for him and Belinda to eat for two days.

The business of this fruit stall is very good. The fruits are cheap and fresh. Most of the residents on Brown Street buy fruits from here. There are often a few old elves gathered next to the stall. Everyone sits there and chats.

I won’t go home until it gets dark.

The sea breeze in the evening was a bit strong, blowing Roy's hair very messy.

You should wear a hat when going out, Roy thought with some annoyance.

The light was a little dim, and the leaves of the olive trees on the street were rustling in the sea breeze.

I always feel like there is a pair of eyes staring at me from behind, and when I look back, everything is normal.

Roy felt that maybe he was scaring himself, and he thought with some self-deprecation that as he got older, he became less and less courageous...

Pedestrians pass by on the street from time to time.

Roy noticed that whenever someone passed by, the feeling of being followed and spied on would suddenly disappear.

Once he was the only one around, that feeling would appear. Even around a corner, Roy could clearly hear the sound of slight footsteps.

Along the way, Roy wasn't sure if there was anyone following him.

He came to the door of Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy at the corner of the street and saw the night saber tied to the railing post at the door of the store. This big cat was always wary when seeing Roy.

In the past year, Roy has often battled wits and courage with it.

But this time, the night saber lying in front of the pharmacy was staring behind Roy warily.

Roy turned around suddenly. The street was empty except for the whistling sea breeze.

The surrounding light became darker and darker, and Roy didn't notice anything.

But when he turned his head, the feeling that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind never disappeared...

Roy stood at the street corner and waited for a while, but failed to meet anyone he knew who could go with him.

Nightsaber stared behind Roy for a while, then yawned and moved his gaze to Roy.

A long carriage full of guests appeared on the slope. The carriage quickly stopped at the door of the pharmacy. This long carriage carrying passengers was more like a city bus with a fixed route. The elves only needed

After paying two kolers, you can board the carriage and get off wherever the carriage passes.

The route is fixed, but there are no fixed stops.

The wooden car door was opened from the inside, and Sabrina, wearing an apricot dress, walked out of the car with her head lowered, took a step forward and stood firmly on the street.

Then she caught sight of Roy standing in front of the pharmacy.

She ignored it, just pressed her curly hair that was blown by the sea breeze with her hand, and walked home with the book in one hand.

The sea breeze makes the long white legs wrapped in the long skirt show off the slender and round outline.

The last time he and Sabrina were alone together was when Sabrina beat her up violently last summer. It was that time that Roy woke up from a coma and found that he had traveled to a world full of magic.

Although the two had some grudges in the past...

However, it belongs to Roy's memory.

For Roy, many things are very vague.

It's like all memories are covered with a veil...

So now Roy chased after him without thinking.

"Sabrina, wait a minute..."

He dared to shout to Sabrina.

Sabrina didn't look back, but her steps slowed down. It wasn't until Roy caught up that she turned around and stared at Roy with a frown.

"Didn't Lady Gillian ask you to paint portraits of those sailors?"

Roy said with a smile as he and Sabrina walked forward.

"...I don't have time recently, let's do it in two days!"

Sabrina felt a little unnatural and said with a straight face.

"Okay, I just happen to be very busy these days..."

Roy responded casually.

At this time, the feeling of being followed was gone.

Roy exhaled softly and thought: That person must have the ability to hide, but he is not very clever and is worried about being discovered.

As he walked, he looked back again.

The long empty streets were deserted...

…

When he walked into his yard and saw Sabrina entering the house without saying a word, Roy looked at the street warily.

Moira stood by the railing of the second-floor terrace next door and waved to him.

Roy pointed to the door and motioned for him to go inside first.

Taking off his shoes and climbing the wooden stairs barefoot, Roy came to the second floor terrace.

Although Moira didn't like contact with outsiders, she didn't shy away from Roy. The two often stood on the terrace of their home and chatted remotely.

"Roy, how do you feel on the first day of school?"

Moira asked Roy curiously.

Her eyes are very bright, and her brows are somewhat similar to Sabrina's, but more of them are delicate and delicate that are unique to the Silver Moon Elf.

She is the kind of elf girl who is easy to sympathize with. Except for her strange skin and eye color, she has inherited almost all the advantages of the Silver Moon Elf.

When she stands alone on the moonlit terrace, people will always feel a kind of lonely beauty.

"It's not bad. I made a new friend on the first day." Roy said.

He was still thinking about the stalker and wanted to look out from the balcony to see if he could find any clues.

"Roy, what are you going to learn?" Moira asked next.

"Navigation, literature, history and martial arts." Roy said directly without thinking this time.

"I saw you came back with Sabrina. Is she finally willing to pay attention to you?" Moira asked tentatively.

"not yet……"

Roy saw Sabrina's sullen look in his mind and quickly explained.

Moira asked with a smile: "Are you ready to win it back?"

Roy happened to look around and failed to hear what Moira said clearly.

"What?"

"nothing……"

After saying that, the figure disappeared in a flash.

…

At the door of Roy's house, Ms. Belinda was holding a large paper bag in her arms and was knocking the door open with the heel of her leather shoe.

On the first day of school, Belinda came back specially to celebrate Roy and bought a big bag of food.

With her golden curly hair and beautiful skirt, she looks like an urban beauty no matter how she looks.

"Roy, look what I brought back for you!"

Ms. Belinda shouted to Roy on the terrace.

She was in a good mood, strode into the house, took off her leather boots at the entrance, and placed the paper bag on the dining table.
