Path of light

Chapter 106 107. Appearance

Under the leadership of Miss Edith, the expedition team of sixteen groups left Castle Ellington the next morning. They planned to go upstream along the Danne River, and there was a path in the middle of the Malaga jungle. A very spectacular waterfall. Standing on the high cliff next to the waterfall, you can see a colorful rainbow across the waterfall...

The team has been camping on the banks of the Darne River recently, and many Elf Academy students will go upstream along the Darne River.

This route is easy, safe, and has plenty of food.

In the tent, after Edith put on her loose pajamas, she sat on the carpet and looked at the magic crystal in her hand.

She has been a little worried these past few days...

Phyllis knew that the magic crystal was given to Edith by the half-elf named Roy before he left. Edith decided to befriend Roy, mainly because Princess Ophelia and Roy knew each other. As Ofelia, As an admirer of Princess Leia, Edith was naturally willing to spend some energy getting to know Roy.

But now look at her holding the magic crystal in a daze every day.

Best friend Phyllis inevitably regrets a little. If she had known it would be like this, she would have never let her come into contact with that half-elf.

Phyllis poured a cup of tea and placed it on a tray at Edith's feet.

Only then did Edith Lake's blue eyes leave the magic crystal. She looked at her friend with clear eyes and suddenly said to Phyllis in a nonchalant manner:

"Phyllis, I guess Roy may be related to his grandmother!"

Phyllis was startled.

She sat down opposite Edith, covered her lips with one hand, leaned forward to Edith's ear, and whispered:

"...You're saying that Count Amelia has a human lover, and she also has a half-elf with that human?"

Edith nodded and said: "Well, my grandmother did travel throughout the Elf Continent for a while. She was a Silver Moon Elf with very traditional ideas. She originally looked down on human ladies, but after returning from that trip, she was half The attitudes of elves and mixed-blood elves have changed significantly, so we guess that she must have met humans or mixed-blood elves during her travels, which made her change so much all of a sudden."

"...Then why do you think Roy and Lord Amelia are related by blood?" Phyllis didn't understand.

Edith took out the magic crystal in her hand and said to her best friend: "Look...this is the magic crystal he gave me."

A very delicate and simple magic crystal. Just from the complex rune array on it, you can tell that this magic crystal is very valuable.

"I know this……"

Phyllis whispered.

In the past few days, she could always see Edith holding the magic crystal in a daze, and she also knew that this magic crystal was given to Edith by Roy before he left.

"It contains four elven songs by sword poets. The Silver Moon Elf who sings the elven songs in the magic crystal happens to be my grandmother..." Edith said.

"You mean that Silver Moon Elf is what your grandmother looked like when she was young?" Best friend Phyllis asked in a low voice.

Edith nodded and pursed her red lips.

Phyllis blinked and said, "He probably picked it up in the castle, and then found out that the magic crystal might be Count Amelia's relic, so he gave it back to you before leaving?"

Edith hit her forehead hard and said: "If you say so, it doesn't seem impossible... But countless explorers come to this castle every year to hunt for treasures. You said... where did he find this magic piece? Where’s the crystal one?”

But after talking about it, she hesitated again.

Best friend Phyllis reminded: "Maybe you can ask him when you return to the Elf Academy."

"Yeah! That's right. If you don't understand something, just ask."

After Edith finished speaking, she put the magic crystal into her belt bag.

On that smiling face, the blue eyes suddenly squeezed into moon buds...

…

Two Silver Moon Elf students emerged from a bush in embarrassment...

Although he was wearing leather armor, walking through the thorny bushes still left him covered in sharp thorns.

"I told you a long time ago that I should use my long sword to carve a way out. It's better than forcing my way in like this!" A slender Silver Moon Elf complained to his companions.

"I didn't expect that there were vines everywhere in the bush. This jungle is really difficult to walk through!" The slightly shorter Silver Moon Elf also agreed.

The two of them rested under a big tree, drinking water and flipping through the map. The tall and thin Silver Moon Elf said very confidently: "Our current location should be here, we are almost there..."

The two young Silver Moon elves who sat down to rest under the tree did not notice at all... there was a human adventure group hidden in the grass fifty meters away.

"Head, we found two young Silver Moon elves in front of us..."

The ranger who was lying in the grass retreated and reported to the warrior leader behind.

"Check to see if there are any of their companions around!" the warrior leader responded immediately. "If not...just arrest them. This place is very close to Castleton City. Be careful. If you have the chance, do it. If you don't have the chance, just give up decisively. Don't delay..."

The ranger immediately agreed: "I know! Head."

An adventure group quickly dispersed in the dense jungle. They formed a large net and slowly approached the big tree.

The two elves had almost rested. One of the elf students was about to stand up. The moment he raised his body with his hands, a large net suddenly fell from his head.

He didn't react at the first time and was suddenly covered in the net.

Another young elf who was sitting on the ground discovered the big net in time, rolled forward flexibly, and immediately escaped from the scope of the net.

But the moment he came out, a figure rushed out from the bushes on the side. The shield in his hand almost made an afterimage, and hit the young elf hard. Before he could scream, The shield warrior stretched out a big hand and covered his mouth.

The young elf completely lost the ability to resist and was pinned down by the shield warrior.

The young elf in the net was still trying to struggle, but was approached from behind by a warrior and knocked unconscious with a punch...

Members of the adventure group emerged from all around, tied up the two young elves tightly, and blocked their mouths with strips of cloth.

"I didn't expect to catch the Silver Moon Elf here..." a member of the adventure group said happily.

The shield warrior dragged the young silver moon elf on top of him like a dead dog to the front of the warrior leader.

The warrior leader knelt down. The scars on his face made his face ferocious. When he smiled, his face was unnaturally distorted. He stretched out his hand to fasten the unbuttoned button for the young elf. He stretched out his hand to hold his chin and looked at it carefully. Click the young elf's teeth.

"You have to be good so that you won't suffer. Don't think about escaping and find out one of your legs is broken, so... you only have two chances!"

The warrior leader said calmly.

The Silver Moon Elf nodded shiveringly, and then was dragged away by two of his men...

When the young silver moon elf appeared in front of the warrior leader again, his cheeks were swollen from being slapped, and there were several shoe marks on his body.

The warrior leader asked his men: "Have you asked?"

The ranger immediately stood up and said: "This group of Silver Moon elves are from Castleton City. They are currently doing outdoor practical activities. This time there are many young elves in this jungle."

"The good news we have received is that there are other young Silver Moon elves nearby, and there are a large number of them. They have almost no experience in surviving in the wild, and they are extremely scattered. They almost all appear in small teams."

"But there is also bad news. This outdoor practical activity class is accompanied by a large number of Elf Academy teachers, and the teachers and students are not together."

"Once we meet these academy teachers, we will be in trouble!"

After hearing this, the warrior leader's eyes brightened, probably because he was too excited, and the scars on his face were bright red.

He scratched his chin with his hand and said with a smile:

"Very good! This is a rare opportunity... After doing this, we will immediately withdraw to the ship and go directly north."

A group of crew members around were also very excited.

"Yes, head!"

…

Roy was still wearing tattered linen clothes. He plaited a hat from branches and put it on his head. He was carrying a large luggage behind him. At this time, he looked almost the same as a refugee.

He scratched the itchy spot on his arm, spit out the core from his mouth, then pushed Claire who was sleeping on the tree, tried his best to control his excited voice, and said:

"Claire, look ahead...my leather armor is here..."

Claire was shaken awake by Roy in a daze, and almost fell from the tree branch. Fortunately, he was wearing a safety rope.

Claire rubbed her eyes, followed the direction Roy pointed, and looked towards the open space covered with grass. She saw a monitor lizard more than four meters long, crawling extremely slowly in the grass. The skin is almost the same color as the grass.

Roy sat astride the horizontal branches of a big tree and looked down, just in time to see the path it was crawling on.

Claire blinked hard, then blocked her mouth and said somewhat incoherently:

"What is that? Monitor lizard... Oh my god, this guy is a monitor lizard. Look at its light green skin. It can change to any color. There is poison in its mouth. We were bitten. It would be troublesome if it happened.”

"Its name is Malaga jungle monitor?" Roy asked curiously.

Claire shook her head and lowered her voice and said: "To be precise, it should be a basilisk. Its skin will be as hard as rock."

"If it bites you, will your body slowly turn into stone?" Roy asked.

"That won't happen..."

Before Claire could finish speaking, she saw Roy sliding down the tree trunk. He quickly asked in a lowered voice:

"Roy...Roy, what are you going to do?"

Roy slid under the tree, then smiled at Claire on the tree, raised his head and whispered to Claire:

"I'm going to make a trap, and I'm going to try grilled lizard tail tonight..."
