Path of Light.

Chapter 115 116. The Waterfall on the Darne River
"Roy, what are you humming?"

Claire immediately sat on the grass and asked Roy.

"This is how the nighttime melody of the Darne River should be..."

Roy said vaguely.

He blushed a little, and seemed a little lacking in confidence when speaking, after all, this was his first plagiarism.

"I want to write it down, Roy, can you hum it again?" Claire grabbed Roy's arm and almost shook the wooden chopsticks in his hand.

"Of course, but the humming this time may be a little different from the first time."

Roy could only remember the first half of the melody, and it was very vague.

As the melody hummed from Roy's mouth again, Claire squinted her eyes, listened quietly for a while, and then quickly recorded it on the sheepskin book.

"Roy... this melody is really good!" Claire said ecstatically.

He even had the urge to jump directly into the sparkling Darne River...

Roy smiled faintly, embraced Claire's shoulder and said:

"I'm right, as long as you integrate yourself into this place, you will get a wonderful sound!"

Although he was a little guilty, there was also a little joy in his heart.

Roy has now turned on the infinite loop mode, holding the sheepskin booklet, still beating himself with one hand, and started humming like Roy.

"I'm going to write it all night..."

Claire said excitedly.

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the camp with the sheepskin booklet in his hand.

Roy stood up from the grass, patted the grass clippings on his butt, and said, "Whatever you want, I ate a little too much, and I plan to walk before going to bed."

On a moonlit night, a person walks by the river, and the moonlight shines on the river, sparkling.

The cheerful flowing river, the cool breeze.

Occasionally see the figures of elves...

……

After a walk by the river, Roy returns to camp.

When he lay down in the tent, he listened to Claire moaning at the door of the tent for most of the night.

I don't know when I fell asleep.

In the early morning, Roy was woken up again by Claire with red eyes. He poked his head out of the tent, looked at Claire who had already packed the tent, and stared at him suspiciously.

Claire, however, seemed extremely excited, and even her voice became a little hoarse, probably because she hummed a little too much last night.

At this early hour, the camp was still quiet.

In the camp, most of the elves are sleeping in tents at this time.

But Claire said to Roy: "Roy, we should go, I really can't bear it, people come to me for various reasons every day, I didn't feel that much before, but I just found out last night, it's very important to me The influence of the creation is too great. Roy, there is still half a month before the end of the outdoor practice class, and we have to hurry up to reach the source of the river."

Roy shook his drowsy head, and felt that Claire was right, so he agreed:

"Okay, it's time to go."

Claire urged, "I've packed up all the salutes...then let's go now?"

"Wait for me to pack up and salute!" Roy quickly got out of the tent.

"I'll help you..."

After Claire finished speaking, she began to help him dismantle the tent...

……

With simple luggage, the two left the Dane River camp in a hurry before the sun rose.

Along the trampled road along the Darne River, go upstream.

The road here is very easy to walk, and the road surface is not muddy. The whole road is hidden under the shade of trees, and beside it is the rolling Dane River...

Claire didn't feel tired at all, and walked while watching the music he had composed. During a break on the way, he also took out a clarinet and played a piece for Roy.

Then he beamed and asked Roy, 'How do you feel? Without waiting for Roy to express his feelings, he said to Roy again:
"Roy, I think you should give this piece a name."

Roy rolled his eyes, wanting to tell him that this song already had a very famous name.

But after thinking about it, considering that Clare only created a second time on this melody, he said:

"I just let you listen to a simple rhythm and gave you a little inspiration. The whole song was made by you, and you named it yourself."

Claire didn't speak, just kept staring at Roy.

Roy was a little annoyed by Claire's silent protest, scratched his head helplessly, and said:

"Well, if I had to choose a name, it would be the Blue Darne River!"

Claire happily agreed:
"Okay, let's call it this!"

……

Along the way, Claire was perfecting the song, and occasionally found herself in a misunderstanding, and would pick up a paintbrush to change her mind.

In fact, Claire's sketching homework is almost finished, but he likes to let himself enter the state of concentration, and then after a period of time, he will be freed from this state of ecstasy, and then taste the song, there will be a difference Feel.

Sketching allows him to enter the state of concentration at the fastest speed, while carving enters the state more slowly, but he can persist for a long time without feeling tired.

Whenever this happens, Roy will be responsible for finding food nearby and solving lunch and dinner for the two of them...

As Instructor Nora said.

It's an easy walk up the Darne River.

And walking along the river, it is not easy to lose your way.

The only trouble was this path, and it must be the one chosen by most elf students.

Today, most of the elf students pass by here, and all the edible berries along the way have already been picked by the elf students who passed by before.

Even the green, unripe berries are hard to find, let alone the ones on the trees that smell of red wine and coffee.

There are abundant fish resources in the Darne River, and Roy can fish, but Claire doesn't like it.

After a little discussion, the two decided to re-enter the Malaga jungle. Only in the jungle could they find more edible berries.

This time when the two entered the Malaga jungle, they became much more cautious.

Every time he camps, he will be very careful. Roy also learned from other elf teams to set up a cordon.

The two spent two weeks in the Malaga jungle before they came out of the jungle and came to the source of the Darne River.

The two walked to a high cliff beside the Darne River and looked down towards the valley, only to find that this place had long been a gathering place for the students of the Elven Academy.

In fact, this is not the source of the Dane River in the true sense.

But the point ahead is a big waterfall, and the flying fish boats of the elves can't continue to go upstream, and above the waterfall, five rivers actually converge here to form such a spectacular big waterfall. There is a large swamp above the waterfall, just It's not the Malaga jungle anymore.

Standing at the top of the cliff, you can see the water mist under the waterfall, and a colorful rainbow spans the entire valley from the water mist.

For the elves, this is the ideal place to live in their hearts.

It's just that it's deep in the jungle of Malaga.

Back then, when the elves fought against the Naga Sea Clan...

All the elves living deep in the mountains gave up their comfortable and secluded life. These elves took the initiative to join the army. The war went through more than 200 years.

After the war, those elves who came out from the depths of the mountains did not go back. They chose to settle in the new city built by the sea.

The source of the Darne River left many traces of the elves once inhabited.

However, most of the abandoned tree houses are only left with huge dead tree stumps. There are only two well-preserved tree houses. Today, one is a sentry sent by the No.17 Silver Pegasus Legion, and the other is a The reporting office of the Spirit Academy.

All Elf Academy students who arrive here must report here, and then camp here, waiting for the ship arranged by the academy to return to Castleton City.

When Roy and Claire walked to the entrance of the valley, they saw several teams coming out of the Malaga jungle.

The two were mixed in the crowd, not very noticeable.

Along the way, Roy and Claire were almost eating wild berries. Claire seemed to be in better condition, as he was already very thin.

But Roy's appearance has changed a lot. Not only are his clothes ragged, but he's also starved and thin for a whole circle.

In fact, almost all the elf students who came to report were like this.

There were also some half-breed elves, like Roy, whose clothes were torn by vines.

However, the day before Roy arrived here, he spent the whole night stitching up the damaged place again with a needle and thread. Now it looks like it is covered with centipedes. Although it looks a little disgusting, at least the clothes And pants are complete.

Everyone has to line up next to the tree house in front of the waterfall to report.

"name?"

"Wagner Claire!"

The instructor raised his head and took a deep look at Claire, then nodded. Without asking any questions, he directly stamped a red seal on the map he handed over.

"name?"

"Roy!"

The instructor took Roy's map and quickly stamped it.

When the two left, they found that the instructor even nodded to them...

The elf students who lined up behind Roy and Claire thought that reporting was as simple as that. They excitedly stood in front of the instructor, took out the map and put it in front of the instructor.

"name?"

"Tim Martin!"

"Where is the route map of the jungle you passed through on the map? Also, take out your backpack, I need to check..." the instructor stared at Martin and asked.

Martin was slightly taken aback, turned his head to look at Roy and Claire who had already reached the door of the tree house, and asked a little indignantly:
"Instructor, why didn't you check the two students in front?"

The instructor pulled the parchment map he handed over, and shouted:

"Because they don't need to check, idiot, are there any other questions? If not, just refill your roadmap and report here."

"Yes! Instructor."

Martin left the cabin with a depressed expression on his face.

Seeing Roy and Claire walking side by side, talking and laughing, he planned to run over to question the half-elf, why he could get the preferential treatment from the instructor, but he couldn't.

Then I saw Edith and several elf girls coming out of a tent, greeted Claire and Roy, and warmly greeted them to set up the tent with them...
