Path of light

Chapter 497 498. Mrs. Winnie’s instructions

There were footsteps again from the stairs of the ship building, and Sabrina walked out of the stairs.

Seeing everyone sitting around under the main mast on the deck, she was slightly stunned when her eyes fell on Roy.

She paused for a moment, then walked over calmly...

The afternoon sun shines on her body, and the sea breeze blows her long golden hair. Sabrina is wearing a silver armor, and her long snow-white legs under the battle skirt are particularly conspicuous.

The Seruki long sword hung on her waist. Although she had restrained her aura, every step she took was very imposing.

Sabrina put the long sword on the weapon rack, then sat quietly next to Moira. She glanced at Roy first, briefly greeted him, and then asked Moira: "What were you doing just now?" What are you talking about?”

"We have been discussing the Battle of the Queen Egwene Islands." Moira whispered, leaning on her sister's shoulder.

Roy looked at Sabrina. Her wood elf blood made her much taller than ordinary elves, and Moira looked very small next to her.

"Sabrina, come to the Partington plane and help me this holiday!"

Roy raised his head, looked at Sabrina, and formally invited her.

Sabrina majored in swordsmanship at Elf Academy and has now advanced to become a first-level sword dancer.

Roy knew that she concurrently studied "Art of War", "Potential Relationship between Tactics and Arms", "Transition of Offensive and Defensive Warfare" and so on at Elf Academy.

If she had served in the military, Sabrina would have been an excellent officer.

The Mine Guard Corps happens to lack academic officers like Sabrina. Roy hopes that Sabrina can stay in the Mine Guard Corps for a while, so that the half-blood elf officers in the Guard Corps can learn from it. to something useful.

In fact, Sabrina's training of mixed-blood elf warriors on the Key West Islands was indeed of great help to these mixed-blood elf warriors.

"Okay, okay!"

Although Sabrina was a little surprised, she readily agreed.

Seeing Roy inviting Sabrina to the Partington plane, Woods knew that there might be war in Sun Island Bay in the next period. After all, Sabrina also served as a mine guard when she was in Key West. The military instructor of the regiment.

"Didn't you say that the war in Sun Island Bay might subside for a while?" Woods asked Roy.

"Those fishmen won't always be so peaceful. They suffered a big loss in this naval battle. I guess those sea monsters will definitely take revenge next." Roy said calmly. He was better than a year ago. I have become much more mature and calmer.

He turned to look at Miss Tiffany, who was looking at the sea in the distance on the side of the ship, and said, "I came back this time just to ask Tiffany to go to the Partington plane in advance to help me."

Moira said with some surprise: "Ah, Tiffany, are you going to go to the Partington plane before us again this time?"

Miss Tiffany turned to Moira and smiled warmly. The sea breeze ruffled her seaweed-colored curly hair and said casually:

"Roy wants me to go to Sun Island Bay and find a chance to communicate with the sea monster over there..."

Seeing Moira frowning, Miss Tiffany leaned over with her hands on her body, and whispered against Moira's soft pointed ears:

"Moira, don't worry, it will be vacation again in a month."

If it weren't for Miss Tiffany's solution. The introverted Moira may not be brave enough to come out of the yard, let alone go to any plane for adventure and experience.

Moira and Miss Tiffany are the best friends.

Hearing Miss Tiffany say this, Moira thought about it carefully and thought it was right!

…

The Black Pearl was over-renovated by Woods, and the entire ship looked like five lush trees. In addition, there was a small plantation on the roof of the stern building.

Roy originally planned to transform the top of the ship building into a garden for cultivating flowers of light. Unexpectedly, Woods went too far and turned it into a small plantation. As a result, everyone wanted to sit on the roof, but there was not enough space. .

When Claire climbed onto the deck, Roy was already preparing to set up the barbecue grill on the boat.

Seeing Roy unexpectedly appearing on the deck, Claire said excitedly: "I always feel like something good happened today. It turns out Roy is back from Partington. How long can he stay this time?"

Claire walked over and put her arm around Roy's shoulders.

Roy was pickling the sea fish, and Woods was helping to light the charcoal fire.

"We should stay for a few days. If you don't come tonight, I will go to the college to find you tomorrow morning." Roy said, "Claire, do you have any connections in the shipbuilding industry in Castletown?"

The first thing Claire thought of was the Black Pearl, but now there seems to be no need to repair this ship!

"Do you want to repair the ship or build the ship?" Claire asked.

Roy replied calmly:

"I'm going to build some big sailing ship like a barque."

Claire realized that Roy was actually serious, and then she scratched her head and said, "Most of the elf craftsmen are good at making flying fish boats. The medium-sized sailboats at Castletown Port were all bought from the Wood Elf Kingdom. There are no elven craftsmen in Sildun City who can build large ships.”

Roy didn't expect that even the Castletown Port could not find elven craftsmen who were good at building large ships, so he asked tentatively:

"What about the dwarf craftsmen?"

"I'm going to find out tomorrow." Claire said as she sat down.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Roy said.

Claire was a little confused as to why Roy suddenly wanted to build a boat...

Thinking that Roy had another trouble, he couldn't help but remind Roy:

"Oh, by the way, Roy, the news about you killing the descendants of the Silver Moon Elf nobles in the Partington plane has now spread to the city of Buenos. I guess if the other party refuses to let go, maybe Buenos The Tribunal of the City Elf Elders Council will send investigators to the Partington plane to investigate this matter, so you must be prepared."

Roy heard the story from Captain Berkeley and thought that Count Swinburne had suppressed the matter, but he didn't expect that the matter would actually reach Buenos City.

"They want to investigate the cause of death of the owner of Abiel Mine?" Roy asked.

Claire said seriously: "Well, there is a loud voice in Buenos supporting the owner of Abiel Mine now..."

Roy shook his head and said, "I haven't received any news from here."

Claire didn't find it strange and said to Roy, "It should be Earl Swinburne who suppressed the news."

Roy also knew that Earl Swinburne had blocked many malicious attacks for Roy. Ultimately, it was because he was not a Silver Moon Elf.

Claire looked at the Castletown dock and whispered to Roy: "Recently, empire merchants have been going to the alchemy workshop frequently. They buy magic herbs everywhere in Castletown. They only need to fill a ship. That sea ship Will leave Castletown Port quickly."

Although Roy also knew that the imperial merchant ships were buying magic herbs on a large scale, he didn't expect that the merchants were already so crazy.

Just when Roy looked confused, Claire whispered to Roy:

"I heard that the plane war in the Green Empire is very lively, and many affiliated planes have fallen. So Roy, you should be careful on the Partington plane."

"Yes." Roy nodded and said.

Then everyone talked about the interesting things that happened in the Elf Academy.

As the most famous student at Castletown Elf Academy, Claire recently received an invitation from a royal princess. For Claire, this invitation is tantamount to a public confession. If Claire openly refuses, it will obviously offend Silver Moon. The Elf Royal Family.

But if he is invited to participate in a high-profile manner, it means that he intends to join the Silver Moon Elf royal family...

Claire didn't want to give up the entire emerald forest for a golden tree.

So recently, Claire has been using the procrastination technique and hiding in the piano room every day to compose music.

It's just that the final dance is approaching, and Claire has to play at the dance every time.

He really wanted to play a new piece of music this time, but after trying for so long to create something like this, Claire was completely disappointed with herself...

"Ahem, the final dance is coming soon. Roy, I plan to play a new song for this dance. Have you had any inspiration recently?" Claire said with a guilty conscience.

Roy looked at the bright sunshine, held Claire in his arms and walked to the bow of the ship, standing on the huge copper ram.

You can clearly hear the sound of the waves here...

Roy said to Claire: "This is easy!"

After saying that, he stood on the bow of the boat, facing the sun, closing his eyes and opening his hands, as if feeling the warm sunshine...

The rainy season in Castletown has passed at this moment, and it happens to be autumn in Castletown.

On this sunny afternoon, Roy stood on the bow of the ship and hummed a melody very clearly.

Claire's eyes widened immediately, she took out the parchment book she had always prepared from her arms, and quickly drew a series of symbols on the blank sheet of music.

"Roy, what's the name of this piece of music?" Claire hummed the melody along with Roy and couldn't help but ask him.

Roy stopped, smiled and asked his friend: "Claire, what do you think it should be named?"

Claire was stunned for a moment, feeling that the piece of music just now was like warm sunshine shining on her body, while she was lying in the sunflower field, enjoying the quiet afternoon, so she blurted out: "Autumn sun?"

Roy felt that Claire's name was a bit off, so he said to Claire: "If it were me, I would call it 'Autumn Whisper'!"

Hearing what Roy said, Claire's eyes lit up, she quickly picked up a pen and squeezed it onto the parchment book, writing as she said:

"Roy, I think you..."

Before Claire could finish speaking, Roy immediately interrupted him:

"Claire, feel the bright sunshine carefully, then calm down your heart and listen to the sound in the wind..."

"Roy, I can only hear the sound of the waves." Claire paused for a long time and said with some distress.

"Then I suggest you find a hillside with golden alfalfa, feel the autumn sunshine there, and maybe this beautiful melody will emerge from the bottom of your heart!"

Roy encouraged Claire again.

…

At night, Claire took a carriage back to the upper city, and Woods also returned to the alchemy workshop.

Roy, Moira and Sabrina walked home along Brown Street.

The Statue of Liberty is still vacant. The cracks in the courtyard are covered with weeds. It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. Even the Statue of Liberty in the center of the dry pool has collapsed.

When passing by the street corner, Roy seemed to feel something and glanced at the pharmacy at the street corner.

Then he stopped and said to Moira and Sabrina who were walking in front:

"I'm going to see my old friends, you guys go first!"

Moira knew that the old friend he was talking about was probably Mrs. Winnie's big black cat, so she obediently pulled her sister Sabrina home.

Roy turned around and came to the bush wall of Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy. He just happened to see the night saber peeking out from under the bush wall...

But before Roy could squat down, he saw a pair of exquisite leather shoes appearing next to him. Looking up from his thick carrot legs, he saw that it was Mrs. Winnie.

Mrs. Winnie looked at Roy with a smile on her face and greeted him:

"Roy."

"Hello, Mrs. Winnie!" Roy said respectfully.

Speaking of which, this Mrs. Winnie can be regarded as helping Roy.

"I heard that you have been working in Partington's plane?" Mrs. Winnie asked Roy.

Roy nodded: "I usually work in the mine on the Partington plane."

Mrs. Winnie stared at Roy and said to him: "I'm looking for you this time because I have something to ask you."

Seeing Mrs. Winnie's serious look, Roy also became serious: "You said, I will definitely do whatever I can do."

Mrs. Winnie squatted down with difficulty. It seemed that her knees were uncomfortable.

She squatted next to Night Saber and stroked Night Saber's head with her hands, her eyes looking like she was staring at her own son...

Mrs. Winnie's voice was a little hoarse and slightly sad:

"This little guy has grown up. In the past, I could feed it by just picking up some fish at the fish market. Now, the food it eats once is enough to feed our family for two weeks, and it needs a wider living space. , if possible, it is best to return to its tribe, but it has been living in the world of elves, and I am worried that it will not be accepted by its tribe, so I would like to ask for your help to bring it to the Partington plane. Let it go live in the jungle over there for a while and regain some of its wildness.”

Then she looked at Roy, stared into his eyes and said:

"I know it has a good relationship with you and trusts you. You will help me take care of it, right?"

"Of course, Mrs. Winnie!" Roy was startled by Mrs. Winnie's actions and said, "Well, I mean... I will take care of it, but Mrs. Winnie, are you really ready to let it return to the jungle? ?”

"Yes, only by returning to the jungle can its life become complete."

Mrs. Winnie pulled the fur on the Nightsaber's face with her hand, and the Nightsaber just turned its head slightly to avoid it, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction...
