Path of Light.

Chapter 105 106. Clues
Several Silver Moon elves were sitting and resting under a banana tree. They spread banana leaves on the ground and took out a lot of berries of different colors from their backpacks.

The elf lady who was not injured even boiled hot water and made a pot of fruit tea for everyone.

The captain of the Silver Moon Elf was called Picole, and the four elves were not only freshmen in the college, they were already friends before entering school.

Bertha and another silver moon elf are brother and sister.

Picor has a more cheerful personality, so the team needs to contact the outside world, and he is the one who comes forward to communicate.

"Where are you two going?" Picole asked Roy and Claire.

Claire glanced at Roy and motioned for him to answer. In fact, he wanted Roy to get in touch with the Silver Moon Elves more. After all, in the Elf Academy, the students of the Silver Moon Elves accounted for three-quarters of the total number of students. Contact with the Silver Moon Elves is unavoidable.

Roy replied: "We are completing the geographical task assigned by Mr. Harper, and we are going to check-in point No. [-]."

"No. [-] check-in point?" Picole repeated with some doubts. He hadn't heard of any mission that had a No. [-] check-in point.

Roy quickly took out a parchment map from his backpack. This was the map that Mr. Harper sent to the students in the geography class. Eight locations were marked with red crosses.

He took out a charcoal pencil and drew a circle on the red cross in the northwest corner of the Malaga jungle, and explained: "The two of us are planning to go to this check-in point, and I have marked all the check-in points with numbers, number 1, number 2... …number 8!"

Picoll looked at the markings on Roy's map and said:
"We just walked over from check-in point 2. The alighting points we chose are relatively close to that side, so we went to check in there first. To be honest...it's quite far from here, and the direction is not wrong. If you don’t make a detour, you’ll have to walk another two days to reach check-in point No. 2.”

As he spoke, Picole also took out his parchment map from his magic pocket.

Unfolding the map, Roy and Claire discovered that the silver moon elf had roughly marked the landforms of the places he passed very carefully. The wild fruits that can be collected are also clearly marked.

Probably to express his gratitude, Picker heard that the two were going to check-in point 2, so he described everything they encountered along the way very carefully.

"Going forward for more than ten kilometers, you will encounter a cliff, which is here..."

The Silver Moon Elf took out his own map, and not only explained it, but also asked Roy to record it on his own map, and explained in great detail how far he traveled, how to camp, and where to find more wild fruits.

Only then did Roy and Claire realize one thing, which they had overlooked before, and that was to record the details on the map...

Record the places you pass in as much detail as possible, then when you meet other elf teams, this incomplete map will be a trading resource, you can exchange information on the map with the other party, or other more valuable Information.

This kind of communication will make the next itinerary easier.

Moreover, the teachers of the Spirit Academy did not strictly prohibit it, so it shows that this kind of communication is in line with the rules.

Roy and Claire also marked the route from here to check-in point 1, and then to Ellington Castle, and made some marks on the parchment map from memory.

Bertha and another silver moon female elf were in charge of keeping the food for the four of them. The two took out some fruits from their backpacks and asked Roy and Claire to taste them.

Claire quickly said: "We still have field survival training, and we cannot eat food outside the jungle."

"These fruits were picked along the way."

The female Silver Moon Elf obviously had a crush on Claire, and when she spoke, her eyes never left Claire's delicate face.

Immediately afterwards, she joked to Claire: "There is no teacher from the inspection team here, you are really self-disciplined."

Claire said very seriously: "Since the instructor has made the regulations, I think we need to follow the regulations..."

At this time, Bertha, the silver moon elf with a leg injury, was also sitting opposite Roy, and said to him very politely:

"I really want to thank you all, I thought this outdoor practice class would be forced to end, and my companions would be hurt..."

Roy responded quickly: "It's nothing."

Picker picked a few golden-colored berries from the pile of fruits and put them in the palm of his hand. He selected a few plump berries and handed them to Roy. Then he asked Roy:

"Roy, are you the priest of the Temple of Liberty?"

Roy took these unknown berries, pinched one and put it in his mouth. The juice was rich, and it exploded in his mouth, full of sweet and sour taste.

"Well, I'm an apprentice priest of the Temple of Liberty," Roy said.

Perhaps it was because everyone chatted for a while, and gradually became familiar from strangers. The silver moon elf who was sitting with Bertha took the opportunity to interject:

"I know the Statue of Liberty. It's near Castleton Harbour."

While eating the berries, Roy replied, "Yes, that's right there."

The Yinyue female elf has a pointed chin, a typical oval face, and a very thin body. She must have learned dancing. Whether she is standing or sitting down, she has a unique sense of beauty. I heard her say:

"I occasionally see Priest Theodore in your temple. He always comes to treat Master Claire Latin recently."

Roy did not expect to meet a young silver moon female elf who knew Priest Theodore, and this elf girl seemed to know Master Claire Latin...

Ms. Belinda, the mother, happened to work at Master Clare Latin's art gallery.

Speaking of which, the city of Castleton really doesn't seem that big.

"Our temple does have Priest Theodore, who has been spreading the teachings of the Holy Light in the upper city recently..." Roy said euphemistically.

Most of the Silver Moon Elves are believers of the Moon God. Talking about this kind of thing too much will inevitably make people feel disgusted.

So he rarely mentioned the Statue of Liberty in the Spirit Academy.

That silver moon female elf doesn't seem to be full of rejection of the Temple of Liberty like other silver moon elves.

She continued: "Yes, Priest Theodore often goes to Master Claire Latin's house to demonstrate the power of the Holy Light, but after all, Master Claire Latin is old, although he just took a drop of life essence at the beginning of the year, but now the life sap alone It is already difficult to maintain his life, and the baptism with holy water can only delay his body from deteriorating, it cannot make him recover, this disease has dragged on for more than a month..."

Bertha asked in a low voice: "Isn't Master Carlyle Latin planning to hold an art exhibition?"

The silver moon female elf curled her lips and said in a low voice: "None of the three main themed sculptures in the art museum have been completed, and the last part that needs to be completed by him has been delayed until now..."

Roy didn't pay much attention to Master Claire Latin's physical condition, he only noticed the "baptism of the holy light" that the silver moon female elf said.

Every time at the gathering of the Statue of Liberty, after the believers finish their prayers, they will receive the baptism of the Holy Light in the side hall, and then receive a cup of holy water.

But that kind of holy light baptism is very simple. The priests only need to dip their fingers in the holy water and draw a horizontal line on the foreheads of the believers.

Master Claire Latin should be a silver moon elf, since he needs to use life sap to maintain his life every day...

Roy felt... If he just drew a horizontal line with holy water on Master Claire Latin's forehead, how effective would it be?
"Holy water baptism? Is that all?"

As he spoke, Roy wiped Claire's fair forehead with his thumb.

The silver moon female elf was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head before saying:

"Holy water baptism, what I saw was Master Claire Latin lying in a pool full of the power of the Holy Light, receiving the healing of the Holy Light."

"..."

Roy didn't speak any more, but sat under the tree and became dazed...

After waiting for a while, Claire couldn't help but pushed Roy's shoulder and asked in a low voice:

"Roy, what's wrong with you?"

Several other silver moon elves also looked at Roy.

Roy woke up and said, "Uh, nothing! I just thought of something suddenly."

At this moment, what he thought of was the Holy Grail that was lost in the temple, but on second thought, maybe Priest Theodore poured the power of holy light into the pool, transforming a pool of holy water...maybe.

After all, Priest Theodore seldom uses magic in the temple recently.

Priest Theodore has been using the Holy Light to heal Master Claire Latin recently in exchange for the art master's support for the Temple of Liberty, which makes sense.

And the last time Jasper was injured, Priest Theodore had mentioned this matter to Grand Priest Reed.

Roy just fell into deep thought, recalling these things.

After completing the exchange of map information, the four elf students thanked Roy and Claire before leaving together.

Roy looked at their backs, but in his heart he was thinking of Master Claire Latin who had come to the end of his life and was still trying to live on...

"Roy, let's go too!"

Claire pushed Roy, who was staring blankly at the silver moon female elf beside Bertha, and whispered into his ear.

Roy quickly dodged and responded, "Understood!"

……

At the same time, at the northwest edge of the Malaga jungle, a group of human adventurers chased here along a row of footprints left in the bushes.

One of the rangers stabbed a pool of bloody feces with a javelin. When he opened the feces, he saw that the fibers inside were flocculent. The warrior chief said:
"Boss, this is the excrement left by that big lizard. Its injury is still getting worse. It is estimated that even the digestive system has been affected."

"Our trap caused serious injuries to it. If it wasn't a lizard, it might not be able to hold on."

"But the traces disappeared here, and I suspect it may have run into the jungle ahead..."

The warrior leader held the scimitar at his waist with one hand, squinted his eyes and looked at the endless dense forest in front of him, and said calmly:

"Just search nearby. Even with such a big lizard, even with a clever concealment technique, it won't leave a trace... just disappear out of thin air."

More than a dozen members quickly dispersed to search for the big lizard among the bushes and grass around the jungle.

A wizard came up from behind. If Roy was here, he would be recognizable at a glance...it was Wizard Benjamin.

And this adventure group... It was also the sailors who took off their crew clothes, put on some well-made leather armor, and transformed themselves into members of a well-equipped adventure group.

These people are fully armed, and the weapons they carry are all magic weapons, and even some of the leather armor on their bodies have magic patterns.

Everyone poked the dense bushes with the weapons in their hands, and everyone seemed very careful.

"Do you think it will go to the jungle? This kind of large lizard is proficient in 'camouflage'. The skin on its body can automatically change to the color of the surrounding environment. Once it hides, it will be very troublesome to find it!" A member holding a spear whispered to his companions in front of him.

The shield warrior holding a tower shield looked back at the spear warrior, and said to the two young members beside him:

"You two go over there and look for..."

Wait until the two young members are a little further away before saying:

"There was a mistake in the hunt this time, and it wasn't us who made the mistake. We just cooperated with the hunt. This is a petrified monitor lizard. If it hides in a corner and sees if I'm wearing greaves, take a bite." I can bite it off directly and swallow it into my stomach together with my legs!"

"So be careful and make no big mistakes, don't try to be brave!"

The spear warrior immediately leaned forward and sighed softly:
"Unexpectedly, there are so many monster resources in this canyon, and you can find a lot of magic herbs. This is much more profitable than slave trafficking."

"Do you know where that canyon is?" Shield Warrior gave him an idiotic look before saying.

The spear warrior immediately shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"That rift is a hunting ground of the Ophelia royal family. Ordinary elves are not eligible to enter. If you look at this Malaga jungle, you can't even find the shadow of magic herbs..." Shield the soldier whispered.

"So that canyon we went to...was poaching?" the Spear Warrior asked silly.

"What do you think?"

The shield warrior didn't intend to say any more, he quickly walked a few steps forward with his shield in hand.

At this time, a companion sent a signal a hundred meters away, and someone ran over quickly and said to the warrior leader:

"Head, someone saw the big horse snake over there, and he fled into the jungle ahead."

The warrior leader's face was a little ugly, and he said very dissatisfied:

"What's going on, can't you stop it? Chase, the leather on this guy is a good thing!"

Then he turned back to Wizard Benjamin and asked:

"Benjamin, where is the front?"

Magician Benjamin unfolded a map, glanced at it, and said:
"Going further, you will enter the Malaga jungle."

The warrior leader greeted a group of his men and said, "Come on, let's go into the Malaga jungle to have a look."

Magician Benjamin hesitated for a moment, and reminded the warrior leader: "The monsters in the Malaga jungle have disappeared hundreds of years ago, and we will have no gain in this jungle."

"As long as you catch that big guy, you will immediately go back the same way..."

After the warrior leader finished speaking, he led a group of men into the dense jungle in front of him.
