Path of light

Chapter 172 173. Bet

Claire stood next to Roy for a short while and found that no Silver Moon Elf was willing to talk to Roy. Then she realized that Roy was somewhat out of tune with the surrounding environment.

He picked up a glass of apple juice, took a sip, and put a hand on Roy's shoulder. His eyes kept looking around, but he complained to Roy:

"You're a bit miserable!"

Roy smiled awkwardly.

Claire pushed Roy with her shoulder, leaned into his ear and asked:

"Is there any elf beauty you like? I'll help you make an appointment."

Claire saw two Silver Moon elf beauties standing on the other side of the dining table. When Roy looked at one of the long-legged girls wearing a knee-length dance skirt, his eyes stayed on the snow-white thighs for a few seconds. The elf beauties She also looks quite sweet and pure, standing slim and graceful at the table, looking very quiet.

"Hey! So you like this one, it's easy to handle! Just wait here, I'll take care of it..."

Claire drank up the apple juice in the glass, put the empty glass into Roy's hand, and leaned over with the dinner plate.

Walking up to the two elf beauties, I didn't know what Claire said.

The three of them actually started chatting very familiarly.

After saying a few words, Claire pointed to Roy...

The two Silver Moon Elf beauties actually walked towards this side with Claire.

Claire looked at the elf beauty's best friend frequently, and with a few words she made the elf beauty best friend cover her mouth and laugh.

On the way, Claire even danced and said something.

This caused the two beauties of the Silver Moon Elf to burst into laughter again.

Three people came over...

Claire introduced the two elf beauties:

"This is my friend Roy, a half-elf born and raised in Castleton City!"

He winked at Roy again and said, "Please allow me to introduce the names of these two beautiful ladies. This is Martina and this is Shirley..."

He deliberately put the name of his sweet-looking elf best friend 'Martina' first.

Then, we started chatting with this elf beauty wearing smoky eye shadow.

It can be seen that Martina should know Claire...

When he looked at Claire, his eyes were filled with bright stars.

At this time, the slightly quiet elf beauty Shirley had to chat politely with Roy for a while.

"You and Claire are friends?"

"Yes, my partner in the elementary martial arts training class."

"Oh!" Shirley rolled her big eyes and took a sip of juice.

In fact, she wanted to taste the mead in the barrel nearby, but the half-elf didn't even look at it.

"How did you meet him?"

Shirley glanced at Martina and asked Roy a little absently.

If she dares to run away at this time, Martina will definitely break off diplomatic relations with her...

After all, not every elf girl has the opportunity to chat with Claire for a while.

Roy could tell that Shirley seemed a little distracted, and occasionally glanced at Claire secretly, but he still cheered up and said:

"We are all freshmen who just entered school this year!"

"It turns out you are a junior too!"

Shirley squinted her eyes, forced a smile, and said to Roy.

Although she has a pair of pure blue eyes, she has never looked at Roy...

Subsequently, more and more elves discovered Claire.

There are elves constantly gathering here.

Claire is a popular figure among the freshmen at the Elf Academy. Edith invited a group of young Silver Moon elves to this dance, many of whom are still taking classes at the Elf Academy.

Many elves want to meet Claire...

There were too many elves gathered, and Roy was constantly pushed to the outside. Claire pulled Roy to her side again and again and introduced him to her friends.

With Claire's introduction, these Silver Moon elves were very polite to Roy and would talk to him politely.

"The Blue Dane" has long been popular in the academy...

So everyone is very fond of Claire, and everyone thinks he is a musical genius.

Roy is more like a backdrop next to Claire...

Martina naturally became Claire's female companion tonight.

Shirley also quietly held Roy's arm. The ivory-like arm was cool and smooth, which made Roy's cheeks feel a little burning...

Claire took advantage of the opportunity to turn around and winked at Roy proudly.

…

A beautiful melody comes to an end...

Just when the music stopped, a Silver Moon Elf held his hands on the railing on the roof of the ship and shouted towards the deck:

"Claire, I heard that you wrote a great piece of music. Can you play it for everyone?"

This shout attracted almost all the elves on the deck. Everyone looked towards the ship building and then looked for Claire in the crowd.

Roy raised his head and saw the young elf noble standing on the roof of the ship. He suddenly felt familiar.

Claire glanced at Martina, who had a hint of admiration in her eyes, and smiled proudly.

He directly raised the cup in his hand high and said loudly to the elves around him:

"Okay, then I will dedicate this song "Blue Dane River" to the two beautiful senior sisters, to the beautiful moonlight on the sea tonight, and to all the friends at the dance..."

Before Claire could finish speaking, there was warm applause from all around.

The players on the boat stopped.

The elves on the deck made way for Claire. Claire took Martina's arm and walked straight to the bow of the ship. She couldn't help but motioned for Roy to follow behind.

When Shirley held Roy's arm and walked through the crowd, her pure eyes were shining brightly, and even her breathing became a little rapid...

Claire let go of Martina's hand, boarded the bow alone, sat in front of the organ and played "The Blue Darne".

The calm sea surface reflects the bright moonlight, which fits the artistic conception of this song very well.

When the song ended, there was silence on the boat.

Roy originally wanted to applaud, but he hesitated after clapping twice.

Then the elves realized that the song had ended.

There was a round of applause immediately...

A young elf took the opportunity to ask Claire loudly:

"Claire, I heard that you composed this piece by the Darnay River?"

Claire thanked the band players on the side, and then stood on the high platform of the bow and said to everyone:

"To be more precise, this song was created by Roy and I at the Darne River Camp on the edge of the Malaga jungle. The situation at that time was that Roy heard the sound of the flowing water by the Darne River, and then shouted Get on me, we quietly listened to this beautiful melody under the moonlight, and then composed the song Blue Dane River."

The Silver Moon elves immediately started talking among themselves.

Martina said with admiration to Claire who came down from the high platform on the bow:

“If I have the chance, I will definitely go to the Dané River Camp in the Malaga Jungle to stay for one night.”

There was also a Silver Moon Elf who came up and said with admiration:

"With this Blue Darne alone, Claire is worthy of being Castletown's most outstanding composer of the year!"

Unexpectedly, at this time, a handsome and elegant Silver Moon Elf noble walked out of the crowd, smiled at Claire, and said with some pride:

"Although this piece of music is very beautiful, in my opinion it is just an accidental piece, a flash of inspiration that cannot be copied. Without more excellent works to support it, Clare can only be regarded as Castletown's music. A talented person cannot be considered the best composer based on just one piece of music.”

As the elf noble said, there are many elf composers in Castleton. These composers also write many excellent works every year. If only one piece of music is awarded as the best composer of the year, , there will definitely be elves who express dissatisfaction.

The most outstanding composer, this title still has some gold in Castleton City.

Therefore, some elves agreed with what the handsome elf noble said, while others opposed it.

At this time, Claire had already stepped down from the high platform on the bow of the ship.

When he saw the handsome elf noble walking out of the crowd, he tilted his head, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Roy in a very low voice:

"Roy, haven't you always wanted a magic pattern construct? This is your chance."

There was a hint of cunning in Claire's eyes...

"Who is he?" Roy asked.

"Yoram Heyer, his family opened the largest magic pattern construction store in Castletown Magic Guild..." Claire introduced.

This exchange between the two of them did not avoid Martina and Shirley...

The two Silver Moon Elf beauties looked at Claire expectantly as if they had heard the shocking inside story.

Claire turned around and walked back to the bow platform...

He raised his hands, and the noisy crowd immediately became quiet. Then Claire smiled at Yoram Heyer and said:

"Hayer, since you said "The Blue Darne" was just an accidental work of mine, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Yoram Heyer hesitated for a moment, but under the gaze of the surrounding elves, he could only bite the bullet and said:

"What's wrong with this? I don't believe you can compose a song as beautiful as "The Blue Darne" on this Nautilus!"

He used words to limit the location of creation to the Nautilus...

Claire said not to be outdone: "Then let's make a bet."

"What about the bet? What do you want to bet?" Yoram Heyer asked: "If you can only get the magic crystal, I have no interest in betting with you."

Claire stole the limelight that should have belonged to him, and Yoram Heyer tried to make things difficult for him without even thinking of making any bet...

Then he thought of raising the stakes and letting Claire retreat.

Unexpectedly, Claire was very tough and asked directly:

"Yoram Heyer, what do you want?"

Yoram Heyer paused, looked around, and said:

"If you lose, let me play "The Blue Danne", and you are not allowed to play this piece in any public place in the future! As for what bet you want, as long as I have it, you can choose... "

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Yoram Heyer's conditions can be said to be very harsh, as if he wanted to make a bet on Claire's famous song.

"Okay, I promise you!" Claire responded loudly without hesitation, and then said: "If you lose, then I want a 'Spiritual Gathering' magic pattern construct."

There was even more uproar around them. These two bets were not on the same level at all...
