After leaving the tavern, Roy originally planned to visit the Magic Guild next to the Elf Academy in Uptown.

There are junior appraisers there who can help people identify various magic-related artifacts.

Roy planned to identify whether the flame in his hand was magic. If it was magic, then he planned to learn some magic-related subjects.

It was only when he reached the intersection of Brown Street that he found two elves patrolling the intersection. They were checking pedestrians entering Brown Street.

The entire Brown Street is under martial law, and only people are allowed in but not allowed out, which makes residents on the entire street panic.

Mrs. Winnie, the proprietress of the pharmacy shop at the street corner, stood on the steps outside the shop, watching the two elves patrolling with some boredom while chatting with the owner of the fruit shop next door.

The night saber lying in her arms stared at Roy fiercely, his amber eyes full of vigilance.

The neighbors on the street all ran to the street, everyone was talking about what happened, but the elf patrol came and put the entire Brown Street under security.

Since he could not leave Brown Street for the time being, Roy walked back home.

When he just walked to the door of his house, Roy saw a beautiful elf in a white silk skirt with her arms wrapped around several books and a pair of sandals with straps wrapped around her legs. Coming from the direction of the street.

The legs wrapped in the skirt are really long, and the little part exposed is as white as ivory.

She is Sabrina, the eldest daughter of her neighbor Ms. Gillian. She is a rare tall person among elves, at least one head taller than Roy.

 Her complexion is fair and her eyes are like two magnificent emeralds.

Among the elves, only wood elves have green eyes and tall bodies.

However, other parts of Sabrina's body have inherited the exquisiteness of the Silver Moon Elf, such as the straight bridge of the nose and the crystal clear pointed ears...

Like Moira, neighbors believe that Sabrina is a half-blood elf of silver moon elf and wood elf.

Of course, her mother is Ms. Gillian, who sells fish for a living, and her father, everyone speculates, is a wood elf.

 Ms. Jillian never mentioned Sabrina and Moira's father.

Although the two are sisters, the older sister has the blood of the wood elves, while the other sister has a little bit of the blood of the dark moon elves.

Roy is not very familiar with his sister Sabrina, but he has a good relationship with his sister Moira.

Sabrina attends Castletown Elf Academy and is also a member of the Lady Liberty Temple Choir. She is rarely at home.

Moira is a very introverted elf, even a little autistic, always shutting herself at home.

 "Good afternoon…Sabrina!"

Roy actually prefers to call her Big White Goose...

But once he yells like this, it will definitely anger Sabrina. As long as he is caught by her, Roy will inevitably get a fat beating.

 Especially after she went to school, Roy could not beat her no matter what.

 After being slapped a few times, Roy's mouth became much more honest.

Sabrina, who was standing outside the courtyard door, turned around and saw Roy. She rolled her eyes quickly at Roy, turned around and walked into the yard.

 It's like this every time...

She walked into the yard with her head held high, her sexy body wrapped in the skirt moving rhythmically with every step she took, leaving only Roy with a big back.

 …

 The two courtyards are actually only separated by a low wall.

Roy put the bucket into the kitchen, put away the fishing rod and hook, and washed his feet at the same time, when he heard Sabrina's voice next door:

 "Moira, where are you?"

 "Sister, I'm upstairs!"

Roy thought that it was time to put away the clothes he had dried on the terrace last night, so he climbed to the second floor barefoot.

I happened to see Sabrina climbing up to the second floor on the terrace next door.

 She placed a paper bag on the small table in front of Moira, and sat down on a square stool next to Moira.

Moira saw Roy appearing on the terrace opposite, glanced at him, put down the book she was holding, and then asked her sister Sabrina:

"…Why did you come back so early today?"

 Her voice is a bit scratchy, probably because of her skin color, and she usually prefers to wear black skirts.

Sabrina casually threw off the sandals on her feet, curled up her feet on the lounge chair, stretched her slender body lazily, and then said:

"The Temple of Liberty was stolen last night. All activities are canceled today. I don't know what happened on Brown Street. The whole street is under martial law. I can't go to the fish market to help, so I have to come back."

Moira covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, and then asked in a low voice:

 "The Holy Grail in front of the holy font in the temple?"

Sabrina casually glanced at the terrace opposite and saw that Roy had left with dry clothes in his arms, so she nodded and said:

"That's it. It always contains a glass of water. Occasionally, if someone comes to pray, the priest will pour them a glass..."

Moira blinked: "Why did they think of stealing this?"

"Maybe it's for the gold and gems on it, who knows!"

Sabrina acted very indifferent. Although she was a member of the temple choir, the fact that a Holy Grail was lost in the temple had nothing to do with her.

Anyway, it's not the old organ that was lost...

She was a little distracted, but she didn't expect a nasty guy to appear next to the railing of the terrace next door.

 "Have you caught the thief who stole the Holy Grail?" Roy asked Sabrina.

Had he not been very curious, Roy would not have taken the initiative to talk to Sabrina. ˆ

Every time the two of them communicated, Sabrina had a bad look on her face.

However, this time Sabrina did not attack Roy. Instead, she put away her lazy look and said with a straight face:

"No, you also know how... outstanding the guards are, how could they catch them all at once?"

Roy habitually retracted his head and responded:

 "Yes too!"

 Next, Roy ran downstairs, took a shower, and changed into fresh clothes.

There is a cool sea breeze in Castletown Harbor in the summer, so it is not too hot. On days when there are no air conditioners and fans, lying in bed with the windows open will feel very comfortable.

 When it was time for dinner, Roy ran to the kitchen and made a fish stew...

 For dinner, Roy ate alone.

 Ms. Belinda did not come back, probably because the art museum was too busy.

 After it was completely dark, Ms. Jillian came back from the fish market pushing the trolley.

　　Two elf guards also ran to Ms. Gillian's house next door and chatted with Ms. Gillian for a while, seemingly investigating Jefferson who died during the day.

Roy deliberately waited until the two elf guards left Ms. Jillian's house, ran to the terrace, held the railings of the terrace with both hands, and asked the elf guard outside the gate:

 "Have those sailors not been captured yet?"

 The two elf guards stopped, they were the same ones they had seen in the tavern during the day.

They didn't want to say anything at first, but when they saw it was Roy, one of them stopped and answered: "Not yet, the other party has diplomatic immunity."

 "Oh!" Roy agreed.

 The elf guard asked casually:

　　…"…Do you know Jefferson?"

Roy replied calmly: "I've seen him on the street before, but we haven't spoken."

 "All right."

The elf patrol felt that they could not find any useful information on Roy, so they looked at each other and walked next door. They would also investigate other residents on Brown Street tonight.

 "Hey Hey hey..."

Roy also wants to talk to the two elf guards about the theft at the Temple of Liberty...

 But the elf guard left the neighbor's yard and walked into the house next door without looking back.

 …

 At night in Castletown, the sea breeze cools down the entire city.

Many times, Roy would lie on a chair on the terrace like he is doing now, chatting with Moira on the terrace opposite.

 Talk about what happened during the day, Roy could only describe it as "terrible".

Moira at night, perhaps because she feels safer under the cover of night.

 So she is more lively at this time than during the day.

And when she was in a bad mood and didn't plan to go out to meet 'people', Roy couldn't find her even if she was standing on the terrace.

I don't know since when, Roy has been accustomed to telling Moira about some of his experiences during the day.

For example, when he met the group of sailors today and the subsequent fight in the tavern, Roy told them all.

 At night, Moira's eyes were very bright.

Although the two terraces were almost five meters apart, Roy could still see that her eyes seemed a little bright.

 She had just taken a shower, wearing a loose tube skirt, with her wet hair hanging loose.

 Her small face looks particularly pure. Except for her dark skin, everything else is inherited from Ms. Gillian, more like a silver moon elf...

In the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, the status of mixed-blood elves is lower than that of half-elves like Roy, and they are more likely to be criticized.

 "I see..."

 That was the only thing Moira said the whole night.

 …

The lights are brightly lit on the pier on the seaside in the distance. The high tide will be after midnight today. Ms. Jillian went to bed early after dinner. She will rush to the pier around early in the morning to pick up the fish.

 The life of the elves in the lower society is usually very hard.

Although Roy doesn't quite agree with her attitude towards life, he admires her hard work.

She is the kind of person who is extremely persistent in life. She insists on selling fish at the fish market on the pier every day to support her two daughters.

Moira was cared for like a flower in a greenhouse.

Compared with Ms. Gillian, Roy's mother seems to be more casual. She often leaves Roy alone at home. Moreover, this half-elf son has turned into another Roy for so long without even noticing. .

Over the past year or so, Roy has gradually integrated into this environment.

Thinking of going to the Magic Guild tomorrow to identify the ball of light that always appeared in the palm of his hand, Roy lay on the bed and fell asleep with great anticipation...
