Path of Light.

Chapter 106
The expedition team composed of sixteen groups, led by Miss Edith, left Castle Ellington the next morning. They planned to go up the Darne River and find a road in the middle of the Malaga jungle. A very spectacular waterfall, standing on the high cliff next to the waterfall, you can see a colorful rainbow across the waterfall...

The team has been camping on the banks of the Darne River recently, and many students from the Elf Academy will go all the way upstream along the Darne River.

The route is easy, safe, and plentiful.

In the tent, after Edith changed into loose pajamas, she sat on the carpet and looked at the magic crystal in her hand.

She has been a little preoccupied these days...

Phyllis knew that the magic crystal was given to Edith by the half-elf named Roy before he left. When Edith decided to befriend Roy, it was mainly because Princess Ophelia met Roy. An admirer of Princess Leia, Edith is naturally willing to spend some effort to make friends with Roy.

But now I see her holding the magic crystal in a daze every day.

My best friend Phyllis inevitably regretted it. I knew it would be like this, and I would never let her get in touch with that half-elf.

Phyllis poured a cup of tea and placed it on a tray at Edith's feet.

Only then did Edith's lake-blue eyes leave the magic crystal, she looked at her friend with clear eyes, and suddenly said to Phyllis without beginning or end:

"Phyllis, I guess Roy may be related to grandma!"

Phyllis was taken aback.

She sat down opposite Edith, covered her lips with one hand, leaned forward to Edith's ear, and whispered:

"...Are you saying that Earl Amelia has a human lover, and also gave birth to a half-elf with that human?"

Edith nodded and said: "Well, grandma has indeed traveled the entire elf continent for a while. She is the kind of silver moon elf with very traditional thinking. She looked down on the human lady at first, but after returning from that trip, she was half-hearted. The attitude of the elves and half-blood elves has changed significantly, so we guess she must have met humans or half-blood elves during her travels, which made her have such a big change all of a sudden."

"...Then why do you think Roy is related to Earl Amelia?" Phyllis was a little puzzled.

Edith took out the magic crystal in her hand and said to her girlfriend, "Look... this is the magic crystal he gave me."

A very delicate and simple magic crystal. It can be seen from the complex rune circle on it that this magic crystal is very valuable.

"I know this……"

Phyllis said softly.

In the past few days, she could always see Edith holding the magic crystal in a daze, and she also knew that this magic crystal was given to Edith by Roy before leaving.

"It records four elves' songs by sword poets. The silver moon elf who sings elves' songs in the magic crystal happens to be my grandmother..." Edith said.

"You mean that silver moon elf is what your grandmother looked like when she was young?" Best friend Phyllis asked in a low voice.

Edith nodded, pursing her rosy lips.

Phyllis blinked and said, "He probably picked it up in the castle, and found out that the magic crystal might be a relic of Earl Amelia, so he returned it to you before he left?"

Edith tapped her forehead hard, and said, "It doesn't seem impossible if you say that... but this castle has countless explorers who come here every year to hunt for treasures, tell me... where did he find this magic weapon?" What about crystal?"

But when it came to the latter, she hesitated again.

Best friend Phyllis reminded: "Perhaps you can go back to the Elf Academy, and you can ask him."

"Hmm! That's right, if you don't understand, just ask."

After Edith finished speaking, she put the magic crystal into her pocket.

On that smiling face, the blue eyes suddenly squeezed into crescent buds...

……

Two Silvermoon Elf students came out of a bush in a state of embarrassment...

Although he was wearing leather armor, he still had some sharp thorns all over his body when he walked through the bushes full of thorns.

"It's been said for a long time that we should cut a path with a long sword, it's better than breaking through like this!" A thin silver moon elf complained to his companion.

"I didn't expect that there are vines everywhere in the bushes. This jungle is really difficult!" The slightly shorter Silver Moon Elf also echoed.

The two were resting under a big tree, drinking water and flipping through the map. The tall and thin Silver Moon Elf said confidently: "Our current location should be here, we will be there soon..."

The two young Silvermoon elves who sat down to rest under the tree didn't notice at all... There was a human adventure group hidden in the grass 50 meters away.

"Head, I found two young silver moon elves ahead..."

The ranger lying in the grass retreated and reported to the warrior leader behind.

"Check to see if there are any of their companions around!" The warrior leader responded immediately. "If not... arrest them, this place is very close to Castleton City, be careful. Do it if you have a chance, if you don't have a chance, give up decisively, don't procrastinate..."

The ranger immediately agreed: "Understood! Head."

An adventure group quickly dispersed in the dense jungle, and they formed a large net and slowly approached the big tree.

The two elves had almost rested, and one of the elf students was about to stand up, when a large net suddenly fell from the top of his head at the moment when he supported his body with his hands.

He didn't react immediately, and was immediately caught in the net.

Another young elf who was sitting on the ground discovered the big net in time, and his body rolled forward nimbly, and immediately escaped from the range of the big net.

But at the moment he jumped out, a figure rushed out from the bushes, the shield in his hand almost drew an afterimage, and slammed into the young elf's body fiercely, before he could scream, The shield-wielding warrior stretched out a big hand to cover his mouth.

The young elf completely lost the ability to resist, and was crushed by the shield warrior.

The young elf in the net wanted to struggle a bit, but was approached from behind by a soldier and knocked him unconscious with a punch...

Members of the adventure group emerged from all around, tied up the two young elves tightly, and blocked their mouths with cloth strips.

"I didn't expect to catch the Silver Moon Elf here..." a member of the adventure group said happily.

The shield warrior dragged the young silver moon elf who was pressing on him to the front of the warrior leader like a dead dog.

The leader of the warrior squatted down. The scar on his face made his face hideous. When he smiled, his face was distorted unnaturally. He reached out to fasten the button that had been undone for the young elf, and squeezed his chin to look carefully. Crush the young elf's teeth.

"You have to be good, so you won't suffer. Don't try to run away, only to find that one of your legs is knocked off once, so...you only have two chances!"

The warrior leader said calmly.

The silver moon elf nodded tremblingly, and was dragged away by two subordinates...

When the young Silvermoon Elf appeared in front of the warrior leader again, his cheeks were swollen and there were still a few shoe prints on his body.

The warrior leader asked his subordinates, "Did you find out?"

The ranger immediately stood up and said: "This group of Silvermoon elves are from Castleton City, and they are currently doing outdoor practical activities. This time, there are many young elves in this jungle."

"The good news we have gained is that there are other young Silvermoon elves nearby, and there are a large number of them. They have almost no experience in wild survival, and they are extremely scattered, almost all appearing in the form of small groups."

"But there is also bad news, that is, this outdoor practical activity class is accompanied by a large number of teachers from the Elf Academy, and the teachers and students are not together."

"Once we meet these college teachers, it will be very troublesome!"

After the warrior leader heard this, his eyes lit up, probably because he was too excited, the scar on his face was bright red.

He scraped his chin with his hands, and said with a laugh:
"Very good! This is a rare opportunity... After finishing this vote, we will immediately retreat to the boat and head north."

A group of crew members around are also very excited.

"Yes, head!"

……

Roy was still wearing tattered linen clothes. He wove a hat out of twigs and put it on his head. He carried a large bag of luggage behind him. At this time, his appearance was almost the same as that of a refugee.

He grabbed the itchy place on his arm, spit out the fruit core in his mouth, then pushed Claire who was sleeping soundly on the tree, tried his best to control his excited voice, and said:
"Claire, look ahead...my leather armor is here..."

Claire was dazedly awakened by Roy's shaking, and almost fell from the branch of the tree. Fortunately, he was tied with a safety rope.

Claire rubbed her eyes, followed the direction Roy pointed, and looked towards the open space full of weeds. She saw a monitor lizard with a body length of more than four meters, crawling extremely slowly in the grass. The skin is almost the same color as the grass.

Roy sat straddling a branch of a big tree and looked down, just in time to see the path it was crawling on.

Claire blinked hard, then blocked her mouth directly, and said incoherently:

"What is that? Monitor lizard... My God, this guy is a monitor lizard. Look at its light green skin. It can change to any color. It has poison in its mouth. We were bitten." Zhongke will be in trouble."

"Its name is the Malaga jungle monitor?" Roy asked curiously.

Claire shook her head and said in a low voice, "To be precise, it should be a petrified monitor lizard. The skin on its body will be as hard as a rock."

"If bitten by it, will the body slowly turn into stone?" Roy asked.

"That wouldn't be..."

Before Claire finished speaking, he saw Roy sliding down the tree trunk, and he hurriedly pressed his voice to ask:

"Roy...Roy, what are you doing?"

Roy slid under the tree, then smiled at Claire on the tree, raised his head and whispered to Claire:
"I'm going to make a trap, and tonight I'm going to try grilled lizard tails..."
