Path of light

Chapter 113 114. Return

It started to rain in the Magala Jungle at night. At first it was just a steady patter, and the raindrops pattered on the tent.

But then the wind picked up, dozens of lightning flashed in the sky, and the pouring rain seemed to fall from above.

Knee-deep water soon formed on the ground. Fortunately, there was no waterway under the cliff, and the rainwater dripping from the mountains would not pass through here. Under the dark night, there was instantly more water in the Magala Jungle. There are hundreds of creeks.

The surroundings suddenly became cooler, but there was no way to sleep because the ground was full of water and there was no dry place at all.

Now it was too late to build a temporary shed. A group of elves could only stand under the cliff and wait for the rain to stop.

Dark clouds covered the night sky, and the surroundings were pitch black. The only sound was the wind and the rain, and the usual group of annoying mosquitoes suddenly disappeared.

Claire was wrapped in a waterproof cloak and stood next to Roy, with big dark circles under her eyes, feeling indescribably tired.

The teachers from the Elf Academy arrived that night. There was no way to ride ordinary horses in the jungle, and they didn’t have a Silver Pegasus, so they had to walk on their legs...

It can be said that the five instructors paid a heavy price to be able to rush to the check-in point No. 2 in a whole day.

Roy and Claire saw Instructor Nora. She was wearing a light leather armor, carrying a long bow and a short knife. Her golden hair was tied behind her head. She was soaked by the heavy rain like a drowned rat. The teachers came to No. 2 to sign in. When I heard that the instructor at check-in point No. 2 was killed, two male elf instructors immediately became furious and wanted to chase the murderer overnight.

Instructor Nora scolded the two male elf instructors:

"You all should be quiet. Isn't it chaotic enough?"

The two male elf instructors immediately shut their mouths, and instructor Nora immediately ordered:

"Now let me arrange the next task. From now on, you two cannot leave the second check-in point. You need to stamp the students who will come here one after another. Someone must stick to the second check-in point, because We have no way of informing all the students in the jungle about the dangers at check-in point 2.”

"Me, Anna and Triumph will continue to go forward to find the kidnapped children."

"And you...all the elf students will leave check-in point No. 2 immediately tomorrow morning, go to the camp on the banks of the Dane River to gather, and then complete the rest of your homework. Now I announce that the geography class has been temporarily canceled due to an unexpected incident."

"Now, we'll just wait here for the rain to stop."

Although everyone was waiting for the rain to clear up, instructor Nora was still keeping abreast of the latest situation here. When she heard that it was Roy and Claire who had issued the warning to everyone, she did not hesitate to inform them. Testimonials.

It's just that a group of people were standing under the cliff. It was windy and pouring rain outside, which somewhat affected the atmosphere.

"Instructor, Roy and I also discovered one thing... I thought that thing was not related to what happened here, so I never mentioned it to anyone." Claire hesitated for a moment, then said to instructor Nora.

"What else did you find?"

Claire lowered her head, put her hands into the magic waist bag, and struggled to pull out the head of the basilisk.

Since the lizard's head must have weighed at least a hundred pounds and was covered with sharp teeth and prickly scales, Claire dropped the bloody lizard head to the ground the moment she pulled it out, causing a large splash of water.

The other elf students wanted to gather around and hear what Claire discovered...

As soon as they got close to Claire, they saw that like a dragon-slaying warrior, he actually pulled out a huge lizard head from his magic belt bag. The ferocious-looking head hung on the ground, scaring the elf girls into shrieking and running away.

"It was this big guy. When we found it, it was already dead in the grass. There were wounds on its abdomen. It should have died from all the blood."

After Claire finished the introduction, she paused and then continued: "Roy needed a decent set of leather armor, so we ran to skin him off and brought back his head and four claws."

Another elf student next to him couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "What is this?"

"An adult basilisk, a Level 2 monster, can swallow all of you in its belly within a quarter of an hour if it is not injured." Instructor Nora replied.

She touched the basilisk's lips again and asked Carlisle seriously:

"Where did you find it?"

Claire answered and asked Roy to take out the parchment map. They had marked the specific location on the map:

"On the way here, oh! Here. The discovery time was almost yesterday afternoon. We finished processing it and came to check-in point 2 overnight. We probably arrived here in the early morning." Claire glanced at Instructor Nora.

He continued: "We didn't think this basilisk had anything to do with the robbery at check-in point 2 before, but now it's very likely that these people are still a group of poachers. They are probably chasing this basilisk before entering Maka." Pull the jungle.”

Instructor Nora looked solemn and took out an extremely detailed map of Castletown from her backpack. She searched around the Malaga jungle and immediately drew a circle in a canyon near the sea and said:

"Here! This canyon is Ophelia's royal hunting ground. It is usually designated as a restricted area. Very few people will pay attention to this place... If they poach in the royal hunting ground, maybe no one will find out..."

"If that's the case, their landing point on the coast should also be here..."

Pieces of information surfaced, and instructor Nora even drew a triangular action route on the map.

The other elves who were watching also seemed a little uneasy. They all came to Claire's side and whispered to him: "Claire, you are really cool this time. You can actually pick up such a big guy. If it weren't for the situation in front of you, Just looking at the bloody head, I even thought that this thing had become extinct in the Elf Continent."

"Claire, are you interested in joining our adventure group? I think you are very talented..."

"Claire, can you describe how you felt after seeing a basilisk beaten like this?"

She was surrounded by a group of elves, and everyone was so noisy that Claire's head hurt.

But Roy was wearing a cloak, leaning against the wall and taking a nap secretly.

Claire glanced at Roy with some jealousy. This guy was really good at finding opportunities...

He glanced impatiently at the elf girl whose eyes were almost full of twinkling stars, and deliberately pretended to be stupid and said:

"Are you talking about your mood? I wasn't in a good mood at the time. We were almost scared to death by this guy..."

"Uh uh..."

A group of young elves laughed lowly.

The laughter of the elves made such a cold rainy night seem no longer difficult.

…

Sure enough, the next morning, all the elf students stranded at check-in point 2 had to return to the Dane River Camp in the eastern part of the Malaga Jungle.

Roy and Claire were also asked to leave.

Before leaving, Instructor Nora also said to Roy: "I have a good friend who is a leatherworker. If you can't find a suitable leatherworker to sew leather armor for you after you return to Castletown, you can Come to me."

"Thank you, Instructor Nora!" Roy thanked Instructor Nora.

Everyone left the check-in point No. 2 together, but on the way back, the elves couldn't agree on the same opinions and split into several teams to act alone.

Roy and Claire are a two-person team. Due to the small number of people, Claire has recently become a popular figure in everyone's eyes. Therefore, almost all teams have sent invitations to them, hoping that Claire and Roy can join...

What Roy didn't expect was that Claire rejected almost all invitations.

The excuse for rejection at first was that these teams didn't give Roy enough respect when they sent out invitations.

When the following elf teams learned their lesson and sent invitations to him and Roy at the same time, Claire also said that he and Roy were going to undergo wilderness survival training and directly rejected everyone...

Such a big thing happened at the second check-in point, and the geography class task was temporarily canceled.

Although Roy and Claire did not join any other teams, these elf teams were not too far apart along the way.

Roy finally understood Claire's troubles.

This guy looks better than other elf boys and has a gentle personality, so he is usually very popular with elf girls.

What happened at check-in point No. 2 has made him the most shining presence among the freshmen. Almost every night, a different Silver Moon Elf girl will take the initiative to sit with Claire under the tree for a while...

"Claire, why did you refuse them?"

Roy couldn't understand. Isn't it bad to be so popular with girls?

"I used to be chased around by a group of sisters at home. Now that I have finally gone to the Elf Academy, how can I continue to make the same mistakes!" Claire complained to Roy in a low voice while chewing the berries she picked up.

After walking for nearly three days, Roy and Claire successfully returned to the camp by the Danne River.

News has come from the check-in point No. 2 that all the elf students have been rescued from the slave traders by the Silver Pegasus Legion. At present, except for their mental state, these elf students are basically in no serious condition. hinder.

Only a few elf students were badly repaired...

During the search this time, Instructor Nora provided important clues to the elf warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion, which is why the rescue operation went so smoothly.

It was the outstanding performance of Instructor Nora that saved the last bit of face for the Elf Academy.

The Silver Pegasus Legion is still looking for the big ship offshore, and is preparing to seize it and check if there are any other elves on board.

Once the Silver Pegasus Legion determines that this ship is a slave ship, two hundred years of imprisonment will be waiting for all the crew members. For the elves, this is only a harsh punishment, but for these crew members, It means sitting in jail until death...
