Path of Light.

Chapter 167 168. Roy's Gift 2
On the way back to Castleton, Roy sat in the carriage while the trees on both sides kept moving back.

When passing a Linyuan mountain stream, the carriage was even chased by a group of monkeys. Those monkeys with red buttocks ran around in the trees and kept screaming at the driver. If they didn’t stop, they would smash the carriage. Stance.

The coachman didn't stop, but took out a handful of plums from his cloth bag, and threw them vigorously at the monkeys.

Roy was lying by the window, feeling very interesting.

The group of monkeys stopped chasing the carriage when they saw the coachman throwing a handful of plums.

After passing through a section of mountain road, the carriage came out of the valley in the Malaga jungle, and the road outside was about to be flattened. Roy, who was sitting in the carriage, felt less bumpy, so he explained the "Dance of Radiance Breath Method" in detail 'Take out this book.

Strictly speaking, this is not a book, but a collection of notes on the method of breath.

Roy casually flipped through a few pages, but to be honest, he didn't quite understand.

The notes describe how to correctly make the breath smooth when performing the Dance of Radiance, and how to guide the qi in the body to form a unique and mysterious magic circle in the body between exhalation and inhalation.

When the magic circle is activated, the sacred power contained in the elf dance will spread out.

Many detailed descriptions in it are related to the 'Dance of Radiance'.

Roy didn't know much about Dance of Radiance, so Roy couldn't understand what was said in the notes.

Roy thought of what Earl Amelia said...

If Moira wanted to learn the true Dance of Radiance, she had to become a warrior.

For her, there is still a long way to go.

……

The carriage drove all the way into Castleton City.

Walk along the Cliff Avenue to the City Elf Academy, walk down the slope of the street, and after passing through the downtown area, finally arrive at Brown Street.

Roy pushed open the door, jumped out of the carriage, and paid the driver fifty kohlers.

This is the price that Roy and the coachman negotiated in advance.

Turning around and pushing open the courtyard door, she saw Ms. Belinda rushing out of the studio, and then quickly ran down the stairs.

When Roy came to the door, Belinda pushed open the door, hugged Roy, then took Roy's arm and led him upstairs into her studio.

On the carving table in the center of the studio, a sapphire pendant that became spherical and hollowed out after fine carving appeared in front of Roy.

It is the exquisite ball that Roy asked Belinda to carve. Although the sapphire stone is relatively ordinary, it has a warm color and the entire pendant is exquisitely crafted.

It has to be said that this exquisite ball was very successful.

Ms. Belinda said to Roy with a smile:
"How is it? My craftsmanship is not bad! The task you entrusted to me has been completed ahead of schedule."

The expression on her face looked very proud.

Reaching out to pick up the Linglong ball, it really looked even more dazzling under the light.

She showed it to Roy...

"This exquisite ball is so beautiful!" Roy praised.

After receiving the exquisite ball carved from sapphire, he found that the pendant was very light. Roy asked Ms. Belinda:

"The sphere inside is hollow?"

Belinda said proudly: "Of course, I have spent a lot of thought in order to hollow it out."

She moved the exquisite ball under the light, facing the light, she could clearly see the hollow ball inside. Ms. Belinda moved the ball inside with her fingers, and said to Roy:

"From here, you can see the hollow patterns on the stone ball inside."

Then he praised Roy:
"This idea is not bad, how did you come up with it?"

Roy said to Ms. Belinda:
"Sculpture, you have to be ingenious..."

"Originally, I wanted to make a palm-sized stone ship model, then put it into a glass bottle, and then fill the bottle with half a bottle of mercury, so that the stone ship model could float on the mercury in the bottle..."

"At first I wanted to carve a big sailboat, and then one night, I suddenly had a dream."

"In my dream, I saw an exquisite ball..."

Roy pointed to the exquisite ball in his hand and said:

"This exquisite ball is actually a simplified version of the exquisite ball I dreamed about."

"The one in the dream is more complicated. I was worried that I couldn't describe such a complicated thing, so I simplified it..."

"Can it get more complicated?" Belinda asked in surprise, looking at the exquisite ball in Roy's hand.

"Actually, the exquisite ball in my dream has four layers, and there are two layers of hollow balls inside the ball..."

Ms. Belinda first covered her mouth in surprise, and then her eyes gradually began to light up...

When carving the Linglong Ball, Belinda actually had some ideas in her heart.

It's just that these ideas are not as clear as Roy described.

Now, she took the exquisite ball from Roy and seriously thought about how to make it more exquisite.

"I'd like to try that."

Ms. Belinda said confidently.

"Then... this exquisite ball pendant is for you!"

Roy found a piece of rope, strung up the exquisite ball in his hand, and hung it on Ms. Belinda's belt, and then said to Belinda:
"I hope you can carve more exquisite exquisite balls. I think you can add the most exquisite hollow carving techniques..."

Ms. Belinda smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line...

She seemed to have seen...the art galleries in Buenos City opened their doors to her.

……

Went downstairs to take a shower and changed into clean clothes.

Roy walked into the courtyard and threw a small stone on the window of Moira's bedroom through the courtyard wall.

'Clap' sound.

The curtains fluttered, and Moira glanced out through the gap in the curtains.

Seeing Roy hiding behind the courtyard wall, he immediately retracted his head.

Then I saw Moira running out of the house barefoot in a white nightgown. She stepped on the lawn and ran to the courtyard wall in a few steps.

"Sorry, I didn't even know you were asleep..."

Moira blushed, leaning her body against the courtyard wall, shaking her head repeatedly.

Roy quickly took out the "Detailed Explanation of the Breathing Method of the Dance of Radiance" and handed it to Moira who looked astonished.

"I just found it today, here it is! Keep it well and don't break it." Roy said.

Moira held the parchment notes that Roy handed him, and she didn't know how to express her thoughts.

Roy wanted to pinch her pointy ears, but... just thinking about it.

"Okay, go back to sleep, I'm sleepy too!"

After Roy finished speaking, he turned and walked back to the house without waiting for Moira to say anything.

Moira blushed even more, and ran home quickly with bare feet.

Back home, Moira didn't go back to the bedroom, but opened the door and broke into the lighted bathroom.

Sabrina was lying in the tub and taking a bath, the tub was a bit small for her, although she was curled up, her long white and greasy legs were still exposed from the tub.

Sabrina was startled when she saw Moira running in in a panic, and she reached out and grabbed the heavy sword leaning against the wall.

"what happened?"

Sabrina got up from the tub and reached for the towel hanging aside.

Moira handed Sabrina the "Dance of Radiance Breath Method Detailed Explanation" she was holding in her hand, and whispered to her sister:

"Sister, look at this."

Seeing that no one had broken in, Sabrina hung the towel aside again, sat in the bathtub again, and then took the note handed over by Moira. Seeing that there was a line written on it, she immediately froze. up.

"Dance of Radiance, Roy gave it to you?" Sabrina asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Moira nodded quickly, her big eyes sparkling.

"This guy is really capable."

Sabrina was afraid that the water in the bathtub would wet the notebook, so she put her hands outside the bathtub, and then flipped through the notebook with Moira, and saw that it really contained a set of breath techniques.

She wiped Moira's head and said to her:
"Moira, fighters who are qualified to practice Elven Sword Dance must reach the first rank, so you have to work hard to improve yourself."

"Ok!"

Moira pursed her lips, and agreed with judgment in her eyes.

Seeing Moira's rare interest in something, Sabrina didn't say anything else.

"By the way, don't forget to say thank you to Roy."

Moira walked out with the notebook in her hand, Sabrina urged from behind.

……

The magicians Benjamin and Abbott were sitting in the corner of the tavern, with a few empty wine glasses on the table.

Abt's eyes were a little red, and he drank half a glass of fruit wine sullenly.

"Is it because the half of the sea chart has not been obtained yet?"

Holding a wine glass, Benjamin asked in a low voice.

Abbott nodded.

He was a little depressed, shook the glass full of ice cubes, and took another sip of fruit wine.

"I think the next step can be divided into two steps. You continue to find a way to get the other half of the treasure map. If gentle means are not enough, you might as well change your thinking. The attitude should be tougher, and the approach should be more drastic. Let your companions know your attitude."

Benjamin rolled his eyes and said to Abbott.

Then he said:
"In addition, I will find a way to go to Palma Island. It is best to meet the gray dwarf Ralph and see if I can get some useful information from him. Maybe he will directly tell the location of the treasure... "

Benjamin said confidently.

Abbot stared at Benjamin in surprise, and asked him, "Wales, are you going to Parram?"

Benjamin nodded and whispered:
"There will be a supply ship going there tomorrow, but you also know that my identity is a little sensitive, so... Abt, can you help me buy a boat ticket?"

Without any hesitation, Abt said straightforwardly:
"Of course it's no problem. It's so late now, I shouldn't be able to buy it. I'll go buy it tomorrow morning!"

Benjamin was overjoyed, and immediately thanked:

"Thank you."

Abbot put his hands on Benjamin's shoulders, slurring his words: "We are friends, why are you being polite to me!"

The two walked out of the tavern, and Benjamin called a carriage to take the drunk Abbot back to his temporary residence.

In fact, it is not difficult to buy a boat ticket, but it is not so easy to enter the island prison of Parram.

Benjamin wants to use Abt's identity...

Only in this way can he have the opportunity to enter the island prison of Pallamu, and meet the sailors on the Kumquat in the prison.
