Chapter 17: Tracking(2/2)
Roy also ran down from the terrace at this time.
A piece of golden bread rolled out of the paper bag. Elves didn't like to eat such cereal delicacies, so it was obviously bought for Roy.
Roy picked one up with two fingers, put it under his nose and smelled it before biting it.
"This croissant butter bread is really good. It's crispy on the outside, fragrant and soft on the inside, and has adzuki bean fillings." Roy praised.
Ms. Belinda held Roy's shoulders with both hands, then gave Roy a big hug and said with emotion:
"My little Roy has finally entered the academy. You will meet some like-minded friends there and experience a lot of very interesting things. Cherish this good time. In addition, you have to learn more knowledge. This
It will be of great help to you in your future life..."
"I know, thank you for everything you have done for me over the years, Mom!"
Although Ms. Belinda looks a bit too young, Roy's tone was still full of sincerity when he said these words.
Ms. Belinda rarely saw Roy show such an emotional side, and held Roy tightly in her arms.
Roy smelled the scent of lilac from Ms. Belinda.
Ms. Belinda asked Roy to sit down, then leaned over and held his face, speaking to him affectionately:
"Hey, I'm glad you like that elf academy..."
…
From dusk to nightfall, the elf hiding in the darkness moved his numb left leg a little.
My stomach started growling again, and I wanted to find something to eat, but I wasn't willing to give up just like that.
The half-elf must have seen him jumping over the wall from the temple, and might have suspected him.
He touched the dagger at his waist, wondering if he could use stealth to sneak in, kill people silently, and then escape unscathed...
Then he discovered that there was great danger in doing so, because there was a Silver Moon Elf living in that house.
Facing an adult Silver Moon Elf, even a soft woman, he did not dare to take it lightly. God knows what she has learned in the past two hundred years...
If I were really discovered, I wouldn't be able to run away even if I wanted to.
Thinking of this, the thin elf completely retracted his body into the shadows.
These days he is like a rat in a manhole, spending most of his time hiding here and there.
Originally, he planned to run to a village in the countryside to hide for a while when the elf guards relaxed their vigilance.
Jefferson has been killed, and he might be the next one.
Thinking of this, the elf thief felt cold all over.
Although the days in the past were difficult, they were not so thrilling.
I wanted to go to the pub at the end of the street for a drink, but in the end I had to hold back.
All of this was caused by the Holy Grail, but now it's impossible to get rid of it.
Those elven patrols were searching everywhere. Who would have thought that these elven patrols would go to war over a gold-plated cup...
…
In the morning, before going out, Ms. Belinda specially prepared a simple breakfast for Roy.
"Roy, do you want to go out with me?"
Ms. Belinda stood at the door of Roy's bedroom and asked inside.
"I'll go for a run later..."
Roy poked his head out of the quilt and answered loudly.
After Ms. Belinda went out, Roy got up sleepily. He had no idea that there was an elf thief snooping outside the yard for half the night last night.
He took half of the breadfruit on the plate with two fingers and swallowed it in one gulp.
I drank the fruit tea on the table and hurried out of the house with two textbooks.
The sun shines on the long street, erasing all the gloom.
When I ran to the corner of the street, I saw Sabrina holding two books waiting for the carriage, and there were some other people beside her.
"Good morning, Sabrina."
Roy said hello and ran over.
Roy thought Sabrina would not respond as usual.
This woman is very vindictive. Although she had the upper hand in the last battle between the two, she is still unwilling to talk to Roy.
"...Roy!"
Roy stopped when he heard Sabrina's shout.
"When are you free, describe the group of sailors who killed Jefferson." Sabrina bit her lip and said, "This afternoon...can you?"
Roy thought for a while and then said: "I don't have time in the afternoon, maybe after dinner."
After making an appointment to make portraits of the group of sailors who fled in fear of crime that night, Roy held two books and ran towards the Elf Academy.
Withdrawing her somewhat complicated gaze, Sabrina turned her head and looked at the sea in another direction.
…
At the entrance of the college, Wagner Clair stood under a hibiscus tree, looking anxiously at the street.
It wasn't until Roy ran into the college gate dripping with sweat that he was stopped by Claire.
The two said hello and walked into the college together.
The martial arts training ground of the Elf Academy is next to the archery range. It is a large grassland. However, the large grass in the central area has been trampled to death, revealing a circular soil area. This is the primary martial arts training ground.
.
Roy and Claire rushed to the training ground, and there were already many elves waiting here.
Everyone looked at Claire and Roy curiously, but obviously more eyes fell on Roy.
The instructor arrived belatedly. She was a female elf. She wore tight-fitting leather armor, a belt around her waist, a sword, an arrow pot, and a bow on her back. She walked very steadily.
When passing by Roy, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at Roy and asked:
"Humanity?"
"Half-elf, my mother is a Silver Moon Elf."
Roy didn't know how many times he said this...
The female instructor stood in the middle of the training ground and called for the young elves standing loosely around to gather around.
"Come, fellow students, this is the elementary martial arts training class. I am your instructor, Abbott Nora. To learn elementary martial arts, there are some basic requirements for physical fitness. If any of you are in poor health,
It’s not too late to change the course now, go back and practice hard, and it’s not too late to come back next year!”
