Chapter 115 116. Waterfall on the Danne River

"Roy, what are you humming?"

Claire immediately sat down on the grass and asked Roy.

"This is how the melody of the Danne River should be at night..."

Roy said vaguely.

He blushed a little and seemed a little unsure when he spoke. After all, this was his first time plagiarizing.

"I want to write it down, Roy, can you hum it again?" Claire grabbed Roy's arm and almost shook the wooden chopsticks out of his hand.

"Of course you can, but the humming this time may be a little different from the first time."

Roy could only remember the first half of the melody, and it was very vague.

As the melody came out of Roy's mouth again, Claire squinted her eyes, listened quietly for a while, and then quickly recorded it on the parchment book with a pen.

"Roy...this melody is really great!" Claire said ecstatically.

He even had the urge to jump directly into the sparkling Danne River...

Roy smiled faintly, put his arm around Claire's shoulders and said:

"I'm right, just integrate yourself here and you'll get a great sound!"

Although he felt a little guilty, there was also a small secret joy in his heart.

Roy has now turned on the infinite loop mode. Holding the sheepskin book, he is still tapping himself with one hand and starts humming imitating Roy's example.

"I'm going to write it out overnight..."

Claire said excitedly.

After saying that, he held the sheepskin book and ran towards the camp.

Roy stood up from the grass, patted the grass clippings on his butt, and said, "Whatever, I ate a little too much, and I plan to take a walk before going to sleep."

On a moonlit night, a person is walking by the river. The moonlight shines on the river, making the waves sparkle.

The cheerful flowing river and the cool breeze.

Occasionally, we still see elves...

…

After a walk by the river, Roy returns to camp.

When he lay down in the tent, he listened to Claire humming at the tent door for most of the night.

I don’t know when I fell asleep.

In the early morning, Roy was woken up again by Claire who had red eyes. He poked his head out of the tent and looked at Claire who had packed the tent, staring at him with confusion.

Claire seemed extremely excited, and even her voice became a little hoarse, probably because she hummed too much last night.

It was still quiet in the campground so early.

In the camp, most of the elves were sleeping in their tents at this time.

Claire said to Roy: "Roy, it's time for us to go. I really can't stand it. People come to me every day for various reasons. I didn't feel anything about it before, but I just discovered last night that this is really bad for me." The creative impact is too great. Roy, there is still half a month until the end of the outdoor practical class, we have to hurry up and get to the source of the river."

Roy shook his still groggy head and felt that Claire was right, so he agreed:

"Okay, it's really time to go."

Claire immediately urged: "I've packed up all the salutes... shall we leave now?"

"Wait while I clean up and salute!" Roy quickly got out of the tent.

"I'll help you..."

After Claire finished speaking, she started to help him unpack the tent...

…

The two of them left the Dane River camp in a hurry before the sun rose with simple luggage.

Follow the trodden road along the Dane River and go upstream.

The road here is very easy to walk, and the road surface is not muddy. The entire road is hidden under the shade of trees, with the rolling Darne River on the side...

Claire didn't feel tired at all, and watched the music he composed while walking. When he was resting on the way, he even took out a recorder and played a song for Roy.

Then he asked Roy happily, "How do you feel?" ’ Without waiting for Roy to express his feelings, he said to Roy again:

"Roy, I think you should give this piece a name."

Roy rolled his eyes, wanting to tell him that this song already had a famous name.

But after thinking about it, considering that Claire had only created a second creation on this melody, she said:

"I just let you listen to a simple rhythm and gave you a little inspiration. You made the entire song, and you name it yourself."

Claire didn't say anything, just kept staring at Roy.

Roy was a little annoyed by Claire's silent protest. He scratched his head helplessly and said:

"Well, if I really want to name it, let's call it Blue Dane River!"

Claire happily agreed:

"Okay, let's call it this!"

…

Along the way, Claire perfected the song. Occasionally she would find herself falling into a misunderstanding, so she would pick up the paintbrush and change her mind.

In fact, Claire's sketching homework is almost completed, but he likes to get himself into a state of concentration, and then after a period of time, he is freed from this state of selflessness, and then he tastes the piece of music, and there will be something different. Feel.

Sketching allows him to enter a state of concentration as quickly as possible, while sculpting is slower, but he can persist for a long time without feeling tired.

Whenever this happens, Roy is responsible for finding food nearby and providing lunch and dinner for the two of them...

Just like instructor Nora said.

It's a nice walk upstream along the Darne River.

And walking along the river, it's not easy to lose your way.

The only trouble is this path, and it must be the path chosen by most elf students.

Nowadays, most of the elf students pass by here, and all the edible berries along the way have long been picked by the elf students who passed by before.

Even the green, unripe berries are difficult to find, let alone the berries on the tree that smell like red wine and coffee.

There are abundant fish resources in the Darne River. Roy can fish, but Claire doesn't like it.

After a brief discussion, the two decided to re-enter the Malaga jungle. Only in the jungle could they find more berries to eat.

This time the two of them entered the Malaga jungle and became much more cautious.

Roy would be very careful every time he camped, and he also learned how to set up a cordon from other elf teams.

The two spent two weeks in the Malaga jungle before they finally emerged from the jungle and arrived at the source of the river.

The two walked to a high cliff beside the Danei River and looked down at the river valley, only to realize that this place had long been a gathering place for Elf Academy students.

In fact, this is not the true source of the Danne River.

But there is a large waterfall just ahead. The elves' flying fish boats cannot continue to go upstream, and there are actually five rivers converging here above the waterfall to form such a spectacular waterfall. There is a large swamp above the waterfall. It’s not the Malaga jungle anymore.

Standing at the top of the cliff, you can see the water mist under the waterfall, and a colorful rainbow spanning the entire valley from the mist.

For elves, this is the most ideal place to live in their hearts.

It’s just that this place is deep in the jungle of Malaga.

During the time when the elves were fighting with the Naga Sea Tribe...

All the elves who lived deep in the mountains gave up their comfortable and secluded lives. These elves took the initiative to join the army. The war lasted for more than two hundred years.

After the war, the elves who came out of the depths of the mountains did not go back. They chose to make their homes in the new cities built by the sea.

The source of the Danne River has left many traces of where the elves once lived.

However, most of the abandoned treehouses are only huge dead tree stumps. There are only two treehouses that are relatively well-preserved. One is now regarded as the sentry stationed here by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, and the other is The report office of Elf Academy.

All Elf Academy students who arrive here must report here, and then camp here, waiting for the ship arranged by the academy to return to Castleton City.

Roy and Claire walked to the entrance of the valley and saw several teams coming out of the Malaga jungle.

The two of them blended in with the crowd and did not attract much attention.

Along the way, Roy and Claire almost always ate wild berries. Claire seemed to be in better condition, as he was already very thin.

But Roy's appearance changed a lot. Not only was his clothes ragged, but he also lost weight due to hunger.

In fact, almost all the elf students who came to register were like this.

There were also some mixed elves, like Roy, whose clothes were torn and torn by vines.

However, the day before Roy arrived here, he spent the whole night re-suturing the damaged areas with needles and threads. Now it looks like his body is covered with centipedes. Although it looks a little disgusting, at least his clothes are and pants are complete.

Everyone has to line up next to the tree house in front of the waterfall to report.

"name?"

"Wagner Claire!"

The instructor raised his head and took a deep look at Claire, nodded, and directly stamped a red seal on the map he handed over without asking any questions.

"name?"

"Roy!"

The instructor took Roy's map and quickly stamped it.

When the two left, they found that the instructor nodded to them...

The elf students who lined up behind Roy and Claire thought that the report was that simple. They stood in front of the instructor happily and readily took out the map and placed it in front of the instructor.

"name?"

"Tim Martin!"

"Where is the route map of the jungle you passed along the way? Also, take out your backpack, I need to check it..." the instructor glared at Martin and asked.

Martin was slightly startled, then turned to look at Roy and Claire who had already reached the door of the tree house, and asked a little angrily:

"Instructor, why didn't you check the two students in front?"

The instructor grabbed the parchment map he handed over and shouted:

"Because they don't need to check. Idiot, are there any other problems? If not, just fill in your road map again and report here."

"Yes! Instructor."

Martin left the cabin with a depressed look.

Seeing Roy and Claire walking side by side talking and laughing in front, they planned to run over and ask the half-elf why he could get preferential treatment from the instructor but he couldn't.

Then I saw Edith and several elf girls walking out of a tent, facing Claire and Roy, and warmly greeted them to set up the tent on their side...
