Path of Light.

Chapter 103 104. Magic Crystal
Until this moment, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Roy's back.

He had always believed that Earl Amelia's soul would be affected by the alternation of day and night, that is, it would fall into a deep sleep during the day and run out to move around in the castle at night.

At the same time, he felt that Earl Amelia's activity area was roughly around the bread tree, and it was absolutely impossible to leave Ellington Castle.

Looking at it now, Earl Amelia seems to be able to appear in the shade during the day, and she doesn't seem to be so afraid of the sun, and her activity area is definitely not limited to Ellington Castle.

Seeing Earl Amelia waving to him, Roy suddenly fell into a daze...

Claire stopped in her tracks and looked back suspiciously, only to find that there was nothing behind her, only an old tree.

"Roy, what are you looking at?" Claire asked curiously.

Only then did Roy wake up from his sluggishness. At this time, Earl Amelia's face on the tree trunk had long since disappeared. Roy shook his head and muttered:
"Oh, nothing, let's go!"

Seeing Ellington Castle in the distance seems to be hidden in the lush mountain forest, this path is very quiet, and there are no other elf students within tens of meters...

Claire just turned around, put one hand on Roy's shoulder, and said to him very seriously:

"Roy, although I have warned you before, whether you want to listen or not, I still want to remind you not to chase Edith Ellington, that guy is simply a perfectionist with a mental cleanliness. Let her be the captain, but if you want to chase her, you are like a moth dancing on a flame. The flame only needs to dance a little, and you will become a flying flame, and there will be no ashes left in the end..."

Roy thought of Earl Amelia in the castle, and felt that the elves in the Ellington family seemed a little paranoid...

"I know, really, I have no idea about her!"

Roy said again.

But Claire looked at him, still skeptical...

……

The two left the avenue of Ellington Castle.

According to the nearest check-in location from the castle noted on the map, after identifying the direction, we plunged into the hot and dense Malaga jungle.

There are almost no roads in the Margara jungle. The trees here are 30 meters high, and almost all the trees have dense leaves only on the top.

In addition to some thorny vines, the forest is also covered with thorny shoots and some uncommon herbaceous plants.

In the jungle during the rainy season, the ground is very muddy.

Occasionally, there would be a puddle of puddles in the woodland. If you squat down at this moment, you will find that there are some reddish worms churning up and down in the small puddle.

The air in the jungle is hot and humid, impenetrable.

Most of the plants have jagged leaves, and there are thorny vines everywhere. Occasionally, the vines are too dense to go around, or take a hatchet to cut off the vines blocking the front.

Due to the dense vegetation all around, you can't see the scenery in the distance.

The two walked forward in the dense forest, until a cliff with a drop of about 20 meters appeared in front of them, and they had to walk close to the cliff for a while.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Roy and Claire discussed it, and found a place to shelter from the rain under the cliff to camp.

Fortunately, before going out, Ms. Belinda asked Roy to bring some ointment to repel mosquitoes, so that the mosquitoes flying around did not bite them both...

Moreover, Claire also cut some wormwood back and pressed it on the bonfire, and suddenly a pungent thick smoke came out of the bonfire, and a large amount of thick smoke drove away the flying insects wandering around.

Claire rarely sees bonfires.

Therefore, he was very curious about this small fire.

He sat with his knees folded in front of the fire, staring at the flames without blinking, and every now and then he would add a twig or two to the fire.

Roy ate some breadfruit, drank some water, and put his tent under the cliff. He said to Claire:
"According to the law of survival in the jungle, we need someone to watch the night. You watch the night in the first half of the night, and I will go to sleep for a while. When it is midnight, you wake me up and go to sleep."

Claire's eyes lit up, and she responded:
"Okay, then I'll go get some more branches and get some wormwood. There are simply too many mosquitoes here."

Roy ignored Claire, who was still fresh about everything. After getting into the tent, he hardly slept last night, and he had been busy all day during the day, and his head had already become a little groggy. It didn't take long Then fell asleep.

……

"Roy, Roy... it's your turn to watch the bonfire."

Claire knocked on Roy's tent and called him outside.

Roy opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he was still sleeping in a tent. The tent was a little airtight, he was sweating, and his whole body became sticky...

Roy crawled out of the tent, and Claire handed him a hatchet, and then yawned and quickly got into his tent.

The bonfire between the two tents was still burning, and Roy saw some branches piled up next to it, which seemed to be prepared by Claire.

In addition to the rustling of leaves in the jungle, there are also continuous sounds of insects...

Roy was sitting by the bonfire, only to realize that Claire's drawing book was still put aside. It seemed that he hadn't been idle just now.

There was a ball of paper next to the bonfire, and Roy picked it up. There were crooked lines and symbols drawn on it. It was obviously not a painting, but a piece of sheet music that only drew a small piece of music.

Roy conveniently helped him throw the ball of paper into the fire...

Then Roy found the magic crystal that Earl Amelia had given him from his pocket.

The first time Roy saw the magic crystal was in the tavern on Brown Street. There was a huge conch on the bar counter of the tavern, and there was a magic crystal inside. At that time, the magic crystal was playing a cheerful piece of music.

Looking at the magic crystal in his hand, there are six facets around the crystal, and the two ends are pointed, which is just right in the palm of the hand...

Roy was thinking about how to open this magic crystal so that it could sing automatically.

The light from the campfire is not bright enough, and the shaded areas will have a lot of shadows.

Roy intends to cast the 'twilight lighting technique' to summon a group of holy shimmering light, and then study this magic crystal carefully.

But just when he was about to condense the power of the holy light to draw the divine pattern, a trace of the power of the holy light overflowed from the palm of his hand flowed into the magic crystal, and the magic crystal actually lit up.

Roy didn't expect to activate the magic crystal, all he needed was to input a little power of holy light into the crystal.

When the power of the holy light flowed in the pattern of the magic crystal, the magic crystal was no longer clear and transparent, and a hazy mist appeared inside. As the power of the holy light filled the crystal, the mist began to dissipate slowly. And after the fog dissipated, a silver moon elf actually appeared in the magic crystal.

The silver moon elf held a long sword in one hand and danced a dance inside the magic crystal.

It's a pity that it's an elf male warrior with a long sword dancing in the magic crystal, every posture, every breath is fully revealed in the crystal...

Roy thought of the night of the Battle of the Harbor, Simpson Squadron Captain of Princess Ophelia's Guards danced a silver moon elf war dance on board to enhance the combat power of all elf guards. It is this kind of war dance of the elves.

Each dance only takes less than 1 minute, but the movements are very complicated, and it also involves the use of breath and magic...

At the end of each war dance, the name of the war dance will be displayed in the magic crystal, namely: the dance of brilliance, the dance of mystery, and the dance of morale.

Roy did not expect that the magic crystal given to him by Earl Amelia contained detailed explanations of the three war dances.

What bothered Roy the most was those movements, which were simply impossible for him. If he wanted to make such movements, it might be better to break off his hands and feet and put them back together again.

Looking at the magic crystal in his hand, Roy suddenly fell into an extremely entangled state.

……

In Castle Ellington at night, Edith changed into a set of loose pajamas in the tent before lying down in the sleeping bag.

In the tent was Phyllis, Edith's classmate and best friend. She was also wearing a pajamas of a similar style and sitting on a fur cushion, holding a glass of life sap in both hands, drinking it in small sips. She turned her head Glancing at Edith, seeing that she was playing with the magic crystal in her hand, she asked:
"Even if that half-elf knows Princess Ophelia, it's not worth your effort!"

"Yeah!" Edith replied absently, her eyes following the pattern on the magic crystal.

"Edith, don't you fall in love with him?" Miss Phyllis asked worriedly.

Edith put the magic crystal in her hand aside, glared at her best friend Miss Phyllis, and said to her: "What are you thinking! I just want to follow Princess Ophelia in my life and be her follower." Or, perhaps only in this way can we have the opportunity to regain the former glory of the Ellington family!"

When she said these words, Edith's eyes became extremely determined.

Miss Phyllis gently combed her long golden hair, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:
"I thought something would happen between you and Roy... In fact, Roy is pretty good, handsome and sunny, and after watching the silver moon elves, you will find that the appearance of humans may be more attractive!"

Edith glared at her best friend, picked up the magic crystal at hand again, and said:
"If you want to have an encounter with him after the rain, maybe I can help..."

Edith saw that there was nothing wrong with this high-grade magic crystal, so she injected a bit of magic power into the crystal, and the exquisite patterns on the magic crystal suddenly lit up layer by layer, just when Edith felt that those patterns were somewhat familiar...

A melodious singing sound reached Edith's ears.

The singing was clear and beautiful, but at this moment Edith opened her eyes suddenly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her sharp eyes. She opened the curtain of the tent suddenly, got out of the tent with bare feet, and desperately walked towards Ellington. Running to the gate of the ancient castle, the thin pajamas on her body were like a cloud covering her body.

At midnight, there were a lot of elves camping near the castle.

Some elves who hadn't fallen asleep happened to see a blurry figure like a cloud of white mist running out of the building at the corner of the castle. Her pace was as nimble and brisk as a deer in the forest, and she didn't stop until she rushed to the gate of the castle.

Standing barefoot on the ruins of the statue, he looked towards the dark jungle outside the castle...but he couldn't find Roy's shadow anywhere.

Edith withdrew her gaze in a bit of disappointment, and only then did she feel the cool night breeze, which made her feel cold all over her body, and she couldn't help tugging at her somewhat thin nightdress...

Fortunately, best friend Phyllis brought a cloak in time to avoid Edith's embarrassment.
