Path of Light.

Chapter 116 117. Questions
"I didn't expect you to arrive here three days in advance. I thought you would show up on the day when the outdoor practice class was about to end."

Edith was wearing a long aqua blue dress, and had two long blonde locks braided in the shape of ears of wheat and hung back with the rest of her hair.

Roy saw Claire walking half a step deliberately, and glanced at him before explaining:

"There was a little change in the middle, and the sign-in task for the geography class was temporarily cancelled."

Edith saw that he was carrying luggage behind his back, and his clothes were almost covered with patches. She pursed her lips to control her smile, pointed sideways to an open space next to their camp, and said to the two, "Roy, Claire, You can pitch your tent here, there just happens to be room here."

"Okay, thank you, Edith." Both Roy and Claire thanked at the same time.

On the banks of the Dane River, there are many places where you can camp, but almost all the good spots have been occupied by the elves, and the two of them were just going to camp outside.

Now being able to camp next to the members of the sixteenth group naturally saved a lot of trouble.

"Everyone is in the same study group, so don't worry about it." Edith smiled implicitly, and then said to Roy calmly in front of everyone: "Roy, do you have time to talk alone?"

Roy knew that Edith would definitely ask about the magic crystal, and he was mentally prepared for it.

"Okay! Now? Or later?" Roy readily agreed.

The members of the [-]th group around them all stared wide-eyed, trying to see something from the eyes of the two of them, but both of them were very calm.

"I'll see you at the tree house next to the waterfall when you finish setting up the tent later." Edith pointed to a forest road near the waterfall and said to Roy.

"Okay, I can build it soon."

Roy set up the tent really fast, mainly because he currently has basically nothing but a tent.

The campsite is still some distance away from the waterfall, the closer to the waterfall, the more humid the air.

The surrounding area is surrounded by water vapor, and the vegetation in the vicinity is almost all aquatic plants. A dense mangrove forest grows impenetrably on both sides of the waterfall. Even if Roy has a hatchet in his hand at this moment, he wants to pass through The criss-cross mangrove forest is also very difficult.

But in this mangrove forest, there is a tunnel formed by trees and vines, which can lead directly to the depths of the waterfall.

When Roy walked into this strange forest road, he found that it was definitely not formed naturally by trees.

Because those vines almost perfectly weave a network of arched passages in the mangrove.

Many vines are full of thorns, and even the most experienced gardener can hardly weave them into a web without cutting them down.

The vines of these plants can be intertwined in such a way that they can only be cultivated by cultivaters who are proficient in botany. Roy can't help being a little surprised, which elf has such patience, actually in the mangrove forest A passage was built.

"Are you curious about how this passage was formed, and then think about how long it will take...to form such a passage?" Edith appeared beside Roy, standing there with her hands behind her back, a pair of bright eyes Sea blue eyes stared at Roy.

"I really think so!" Roy admitted frankly.

Edith walked into the arched passage with him side by side, her exquisite leather boots stepped on the stone floor, making a crisp sound of 'clack clack'.

In the grid full of thorns and vines, looking at the impenetrable mangroves outside, Roy felt as if he had entered a garden.

"Actually, it's not that troublesome. This forest road was left by a great druid who is proficient in botany. He only lived here for three years before he completed this tunnel." Edith told Roy Introduced.

There was a loud rumbling from the other side of the tunnel, forcing her to speak even louder.

"The archdruid of the elves?" Roy asked.

He hadn't seen it in Castleton...

"Well, a very capable wood elf." Edith looked up at the vaulted dome of the passage, and then said: "Now almost all the druids who are proficient in botany are in the kingdom of the wood elves. "

Roy kept looking around until the two passed through the tunnel.

Edith took Roy to the terrace of the only tree house on the front platform. The tree is not very big, and the tree house built is also very unique, but the door of the tree house is locked. The elves watching the waterfall here You can only stand on the terrace outside the wooden house.

A burst of water mist floated from the direction of the waterfall.

It's too humid here, the air is full of tiny water droplets, making the surrounding water vapor more dense, and all the walls are covered with water droplets.

And because the big waterfall is in front of it, it is very noisy here.

The rumble of the falls almost drowns everything out.

Roy had to raise his voice and press into Edith's ear for her to hear what he was saying.

"I know what you want to ask, do you want to know the origin of that magic crystal?" Roy walked in and shouted very directly.

Edith opened her eyes and stared at Roy expectantly, hoping he would give an answer.

At this time, Roy said loudly:

"I picked it up under the bread tree. I think it should be handed over to you, so it's in your hands."

Edith stared at Roy and said angrily:
"If you don't want to explain, just don't say it. Why make up a lie and be so dishonest."

"Sorry, Edith, some things really can't be explained."

Roy quickly admitted.

If Edith wanted to keep asking and must know the answer, Roy wanted to tell her about Earl Amelia directly.

Anyway, Earl Amelia did not say that this matter should be kept secret from Miss Edith, not to mention that the magic crystal had already been sent out.

Unexpectedly, Edith turned around at this time, deliberately did not make eye contact with Roy, and said without beginning and end:

"This is the best viewing platform of the Dane River Falls, where you can see the most magnificent scenery of the waterfall."

The mist wetted the hair on Roy's forehead, and made Edith's long hair covered with water droplets...

Edith didn't feel disappointed when she couldn't get the answer she wanted.

She didn't even dare to pursue and ask Roy. From Roy's eyes, it could be seen that his attitude was obviously not firm.

If Edith had to know, Roy would definitely say it.

This is a feeling that Roy passed on to her...

Edith walked a little slowly, looking at the magic crystal in her hand, she held it tightly again.

That's right, this magic crystal is exactly what she needs most right now.

For an elven warrior who is about to be promoted to become a sword poet, there is nothing more suitable for her than elven songs, and these elven songs happen to be the inheritance of the Ellington family, so they are the most suitable for her.

"Roy, shouldn't we be related by blood?" Edith asked tentatively, and then stared at Roy nervously.

"puff……"

Roy was about to take a sip of water, but now he spit it all out.

"Please, although my mother is a silver moon elf, her surname is definitely not Ellington, otherwise my life would not be so ordinary, and my father... I haven't seen him since I grew up!" Roy said.

"So this is unlikely!"

Edith breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two walked out of the passage, they stopped talking about it and returned to the camp together.
An elf girl approached Edith and said, "Edith, the boat we ordered has arrived..."

Edith turned around and glanced at the side of the river. There were several boats moored by the river at the moment.

"Roy, Claire, do you want to return to Castletown with us?" Edith asked Roy.

"Of course it's best to go back sooner."

Edith stretched out her hand, pointed at the largest ship on the shore, and said happily:

"Then come with us, it just so happens that the boat I booked has enough space."
