Path of light

Chapter 299 300. Dance

"Roy, your letter!"

In the early morning, the postman rode his horse and stopped in front of Roy's house. He took out a letter from his bag and handed it to Roy at the courtyard wall.

Roy was getting ready for school when he met the postman as he walked to his house.

After tearing open the envelope, Roy felt warmed when he saw High Priest Reed's name on the signature.

'Roy, I have received your letter. Everything is going well with me at Golfito. The magicians of the Astrologer's Guild have repaired the time and space gate leading to the Dark Land. We will go there next month. In the dark place, we are going to search for the whereabouts of the Statue of Liberty. The first two groups of advance troops have found important clues. This time we must follow the footsteps of our predecessors and spread the seeds of light in the dark place.

I heard that you have mastered Holy Light, Blessing of Wisdom and Hammer of Punishment. Regarding the points that you should pay attention to when drawing the divine pattern of Hammer of Punishment, I will list them for you below...'

High Priest Reed's handwriting on the seagrass paper was still so meticulous, but the content of the letter could not make Roy happy.

The Temple of Liberty in Castletown has been closed for three full years. However, because the portal on the Golfito side was destroyed by dark creatures, the third expeditionary force has been stranded in Golfito. That’s three years.

Fortunately, the Liberty Temple Church has accumulated enough wealth, and a large number of priests are stranded in Golfito City without being affected at all.

The only troublesome thing is that the two advance armies that went out were stuck in a dark place and have been unable to obtain supplies from Golfito City for the past three years.

Now that High Priest Reed is finally leaving with the expeditionary force, Roy is still worried.

In Roy's heart, he hoped that the Gate of Time and Space could never be repaired.

He is not a believer in the Statue of Liberty, so naturally he does not care much about the life and death of the goddess...

The asylum that the Silver Moon Elf Council of Elders agreed to establish was still under construction. Every time he passed the gate of the Temple of Liberty, Roy would see that the courtyard of the temple was already overgrown with vines and weeds.

Roy stood leaning against the wall, reading High Priest Reed's letter carefully.

"Roy, Tiffany and Woods are already waiting at the intersection. Let's leave quickly..."

Moira was wearing a set of brown thorn-tailed crystal lion leather armor, with a stabbing saber hanging on her belt. She stood gracefully at the door next door, greeting Roy.

"coming……"

Roy folded the letter in his hand, put it in his chest pocket, and followed Moira towards the street.

Moira recently got an ear-length haircut, which is rare among elf girls, but her whole person has become much more refreshing and lively...

The reason for cutting her hair was that she ranked second in the final assessment of the martial arts class this semester.

Moira thought that the ponytail affected her movements, so she cut her hair short.

In fact, there was one thing that Roy didn't tell her. The Silver Moon Elf who won the first place in the martial arts assessment was a member of the Wellington family, Edith Wellington's cousin. Roy was in Edith's family. I met that guy twice at the dance held. He was a very proud young elf. Although he looked polite, there was an arrogance in his heart that was difficult to conceal.

Moira has changed a lot in the past two years. Her round face, which was originally a little baby fat, has now turned into an oval face.

Not only did she grow a little taller, she also became a little slimmer, which was probably related to her practicing the assassin's martial arts.

Miss Tiffany was wearing a shark pattern dress and holding two magic books in her arms. She waved to Moira who had just walked out of the house from a distance...

The belated long carriage stopped at the crossroads. Miss Tiffany and Moira boarded the carriage first. At this time, Woods ran out of Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy and caught up before the carriage door closed. Get into the car and sit with Roy.

A year ago, Mrs. Winnie discovered that there was a druid on Brown Street who was proficient in herbalism. It took her three days to finally convince Woods to work part-time in her pharmacy. Now Woods is the chief magician in the pharmacy. Pharmacist, and responsible for taking care of the big black cat. Roy felt that Mrs. Winnie’s investment was a huge profit...

Roy has to take the final assessment on astrology this morning.

He had studied astrology for three years. If he failed the test, it would take another three years to retake it, so he was well prepared this time.

Tiffany and Moira also need to take the garden artist assessment.

"Woods, have you asked Mrs. Winnie for leave?"

The long carriage drove forward slowly, and the scenery outside the window kept changing. Roy asked Woods who was sitting next to him.

"It's been agreed, and I've rushed out a batch of magic potions in the past few days, which is enough for the pharmacy to sell for two months. Mrs. Winnie even asked me to help her bring the goods from Padstow City!" Woods said happily. said.

Roy rolled his eyes, complaining in his mind that Mrs. Winnie was so calculating.

…

I've been nervous all morning.

After completing the final assessment of astrology, Roy walked out of the classroom. Only then did he dare to walk in the corridor, holding the railing towards the courtyard full of green plants, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

If I had known that astrology required memorizing so many star charts, I would never have considered learning it at the beginning. It was simply too torturous...

A group of elf students came out of the examination room one after another, and everyone was talking about the exam.

Roy was also among a group of mixed elves, chatting casually.

…

Arriving at the gate of the college, Roy had to wait for Woods, Moira and Miss Tiffany to go home together.

Claire walked out of the Elf Academy surrounded by a group of Silver Moon Elf students.

Claire looks like this no matter where she goes...

Counting this year, he has won the title of 'Outstanding Musician of Castletown' for three consecutive years.

At the beginning of the year he also gave a concert at the Castletown Grand Theatre.

Claire saw Roy through the crowd and stopped quickly, but he couldn't walk over.

Because no matter where he goes, the group of elves around him will move parallel around him. He doesn't want to almost squeeze Roy into the wall like last time...

"Roy, do you want to go to the opera house together?" Claire waved vigorously towards Roy and said loudly.

Roy waved his hand and responded: "I have something else to do in the afternoon, you go ahead."

Claire continued: "See you at the dance tonight!"

Roy made an 'OK' gesture and responded loudly: "Got it."

Then, he watched a group of young elves surround Claire and leave.

The Silver Moon elves worship musicians and artists, but Roy never thought they would be so fanatical. It felt like a group of fanatical believers...

Castletown is still the same as it was three years ago. Roy has become an intermediate student at Silver Moon Elf Academy and has his own social circle.

Instructor Nora walked out of the academy and saw Roy leaning against the wall. He stopped, walked to Roy and said to him:

"Roy, I heard that you formed an adventure group and are going to experience the Partington plane?"

Roy quickly stood up straight and saluted instructor Nora.

As Roy's leader in close combat martial arts, Instructor Nora helped him a lot in private.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Roy is fighting, the shadow of Instructor Nora often appears on Roy...

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow... We'll go to Padstow City first, and then stop in Rampart Town for a few days." Roy said honestly.

Instructor Nora asked curiously: "Are you going to explore the Blackwater Swamp?"

Instructor Nora asked this question entirely because the route Roy described was just right for going to the Blackwater Swamp.

Roy shook his head and denied without thinking:

"Not this time. We don't have the ability to deal with the poisonous horned black anaconda and dragon fly for the time being. We plan to go west along the Griffin Mountains this time. If possible, we want to visit the Pagisto Plateau."

Roy had an absolutely clear understanding of his newly formed adventure group. He didn't want to do something risky on his first adventure trip.

Instructor Nora breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Roy said, nodded with a smile, and reached out to pat his shoulder:

"No matter what, you must pay attention to safety."

"I will, Instructor Nora!"

Instructor Nora chatted with Roy for a while and then left.

Because Roy saw that three instructors, Instructor Eleanor, Instructor Virgil and Instructor Gru, were already waiting on the other side of the street. These three instructors had some different opinions on Roy's departure, so they usually tried their best to leave the team in the academy. Avoided.

…

Ever since the rebels of the Partington plane accepted the peace talks, the barrier town of the Partington plane has been in constant trouble, and there will always be some minor frictions between the mixed-blood elven people and the Silver Moon elven managers.

Although the new barrier town has been built, the management here is also very chaotic.

Roy still wears the hat of consul and mediates various disputes in Barrier Town almost every two holidays every year...

The instructors did not want to spend all their vacations in the Partington plane. Roy could not travel with the instructors on the plane trip every holiday, so Roy officially quit the Elf Academy Adventure Group last year. Regarding this, the instructors also Very understanding.

The reason why they are very dissatisfied with Roy is because Sabrina and Woods also officially announced their withdrawal from the Elf Academy adventure group last month.

As soon as they left the Elf Academy adventure group, they quickly joined Roy's newly established adventure group.

Roy's adventure group has a name, Zakarum.

There are currently six members, namely Roy, Sabrina, Moira, Woods, Tiffany, and Claire.

After Roy waited for Woods at the gate of the college, the two of them ran to a trading house next to the central square of Castletown City and purchased some fine twine, some peeling knives, and hoe and sickle for collecting magic herbs. In addition, there are some Glauber's salt used for cooked leather, and several other co-solvents.

Roy purchased these supplies based on a list.

"Did we have to buy so much?" Woods was a little worried when he saw such a large amount of supplies.

Some scattered supplies were put directly into the magic pocket by Roy. The rest of the supplies were discussed with the manager of the trading house and will be delivered to the dock of Castletown Port tomorrow morning.

"Roy, do we need to transport these supplies to Barrier Town?" Woods asked in a low voice.

"Yeah... but you don't have to worry. This batch of goods has arrived at the dock. We just need to find a way to move it to the ship, and then arrive at Partington Island. After hiring a carriage, transfer to Padstow City and find a hotel in the city. From the carriage house, you can rent a carriage to transport it to Padstow, or you can entrust it to a caravan and ask them to transport it to Barrier Town, and it won't cost a lot of money." Roy explained to Woods in a low voice.

Woods breathed a sigh of relief when Roy told him a complete transportation plan.

"Let's go quickly. We have to attend the school dance tonight. Didn't you say last time that you secretly like a mixed-blood elf girl? You can ask her to dance and see if you have a chance..."

Roy said as he walked.

"Did I never say..."

Woods muttered, but his steps were not slow at all.

"Do you still want me to tell you that girl's name?"

Roy smiled...

…

At the end of each semester, the Elf Academy holds a dance.

Only the students of the Elf Academy can participate in this event. However, due to the large number of students in the Elf Academy, the scale of each dance is very large, and the dance floor can only be on the grass in front of the main teaching building of the academy.

In recent years, the final dance of Elf Academy has become more famous because Wagner Clare, the youngest musician in Castletown City, will play piano music at the dance.

The year before last there were two pieces, last year there were three pieces, and this year it is said that there will be at least three piano pieces.

This kind of free concert is what many elves dream of.

When Roy and Woods arrived at the college, many students had gathered on the playground.

Roy didn't wear a dress, so he and Woods found a remote place and put on the magic pattern structure.

Wearing a leather armor and magic pattern outfit when attending a dance is barely acceptable...

A burst of soothing music came, and Roy and Woods blended into the lively crowd. The elf girls were wearing beautiful long dresses, with light makeup on their faces, revealing large areas of snow-white skin. The smell of flowers and perfume was everywhere.

Roy and Woods finally found Tiffany and Moira. Miss Tiffany was soon invited to dance by an elf student.

Moira stood on the edge of the grass with some excitement, holding on to the fence with both hands, looking into the dance floor...

She has really changed a lot in the past few years. She was originally a mixed-blood elf girl who was a little autistic and didn't like to communicate with strange elves. Now she can actually participate in such a lively dance...

In fact, Moira was more excited...she could finally follow everyone on a plane adventure, and Ms. Gillian also personally agreed.

The climax of the dance was when Claire appeared on the band. This time, with the cooperation of the band, Claire also played three songs in a row, which immediately pushed the atmosphere of the dance to the climax.

Moira's little face turned red due to the atmosphere of the ball, but she would never dare to let her dance on the dance floor.

Not even with Miss Tiffany's encouragement...

Roy didn't care, but when Miss Edith came over to say hello just now, he asked her to dance.

Suddenly there was some chaos on the crowded dance floor. Many dancing elf students stopped one after another, and everyone gathered around an area.

Roy and Moira were watching the excitement from the edge of the dance floor. They didn't know what was going on there and had no intention of getting close.

At this time, Woods emerged from nowhere, grabbed Roy's arm and ran toward the crowd, saying as he ran:

"Roy, hurry up and take a look, Sabrina is in trouble..."
