Path of Light.

Chapter 171. 172. Sea Ball
After receiving the lunch box from the elf waiter, Roy thanked him, and the waiter helped Roy close the hatch.

The cabin is not stuffy at all, not only well ventilated, but also very cool.

Roy put the lunch box on the table and found that the whole lunch box had different lids. The food box was the lid of the food box, and the cup had the lid of the cup...

Roy tried to lift the lid gently, and found that there were different kinds of cut fruits inside, including the berries that he had seen in the Malaga jungle. Roy picked one up and threw it into his mouth. The things the elves eat are really exquisite.

In addition to various cut fruits, there are also two cups of fruit tea mixed with honey, which is slightly sweet.

There are also two elf biscuits in the corner of the dinner plate. These are the elves' marching rations. They are made from the fruit core of the tree of life mixed with some maple syrup. Roy saw it in the grocery store, and the price is not cheap... …

Roy just ate two berries, and tasted two unknown pieces of milky white flesh, which tasted like a seedless white dragon fruit.

The cabin is really small, but exquisite...

Claire was lying on the upper bunk, and there was the sound of even breathing. It could be seen that he was really sleepy.

If you look carefully, this guy's delicate face is indeed more delicate than most of the silver moon female elves.

Roy lay on the bed for a while, but couldn't fall asleep. Worried that rolling around on the bed would affect Claire's rest, he packed his clothes and walked out of the cabin.

When passing through the corridor, the elf waiter stood up and asked Roy what he wanted.

Roy pointed to the exit at the end, said, "I want to blow the sea breeze on the deck", and walked along the corridor to the deck.

The Nautilus was sailing away from the harbour, with its sails bulging, its bow cutting through the blue water, heading south, sailing very smoothly.

Climb directly to the roof along the narrow stairs outside the ship building. The roof of the ship building is a viewing platform. There is also a pergola on the side near the bow. There are several sets of tables and chairs under the pergola. Some young elves sit Under the pergola, chat while enjoying the sea view.

Bertha waved to Roy at the edge of the viewing platform.

Roy walked over, Teresa had already given up her position, and said kindly to Roy:

"I didn't expect you to come to Miss Edith's Sea Ball, and I rarely see you in the academy..."

"Haha, maybe the courses are perfectly staggered."

Roy and Theresa clashed fists.

Bertha sat on a chair, leaned over, and asked Roy very curiously:
"Roy, how did you know Edith?"

Roy took the juice from Teresa and explained:
"I studied the modern history of elves with her."

Bertha blinked, somewhat disbelieving Roy's statement:

"That's all? The modern history of elves is a rare major class in the college. I heard that there are more than 200 students?"

"I'm in the same study group as Edith," Roy said.

"That makes sense."

Everyone sat on the roof, blowing the sea breeze, and the Nautilus gradually left Castleton Harbor.

The crew adjusted the angle of the mainsail on the deck, and as the triangular sail at the bow also bulged, Roy felt as if an invisible big hand pushed the Nautilus violently from behind, riding the wind and waves forward.

Driven by the wind, some thinner masts even made stubborn sounds.

"Elf nobles, do you often hold this kind of ball?"

Roy took a sip of the juice and asked Theresa curiously.

It was Bertha who answered the question:

"This kind of dance is only available in October. The sea weather is good now, and it will disappear after this season."

……

As the Nautilus headed out to sea,

The land in the direction of Castleton City gradually disappeared on the sea level, leaving only the tree of life on the top of the mountain and the statue of the elf heroine Bernice still above the sea.

The sea wind was not too strong, and the Nautilus came to the open sea after three hours of sailing.

There is no land to be seen here, and the color of the sea has changed from blue to dark blue...

There is only a slight undulation of waves on the sea.

The setting sun fell into the sea, and the sea surface seemed to be covered with a layer of golden scales.

The blue sky seemed to be smudged with ink, and it kept getting darker until little stars appeared in the dark sky.

Raise the sails, let down the anchor, and the ship stops in the deep blue sea.

On the Nautilus, the crew has already begun to arrange the ball.

Lanterns are hung on the outside of the ship's side, on the crossbar of the mainmast, and on the mast on the roof of the ship building...

The venue for the ball was arranged on the deck under the mainmast, and two elf attendants spread a blanket on the deck.

Edith also hired a band at Castletown for the evening dance.

The band is arranged on the bow platform. At this time, the players of these bands gather together to study the score.

Roy stood aside curiously.

Some of the instruments in the hands of these players have been seen by Roy, but almost all of them cannot be named.

He only knew the organ in the middle of the bow.

Claire is very good at playing the organ.

Roy thought it was about the same as a piano...

The elf waiters set up a row of long tables on the side near the ship building.

The dining table was covered with a white tablecloth, with fresh flowers, baskets of fresh fruit, and some exquisite fruit plates cut into small pieces. Many small pieces of fruit were even dotted with some honey.

There are several barrels of wine set up beside the dining table, and some are juice barrels with ice cubes.

Rows of exquisite crystal cups are neatly placed on the shelf beside it.

After the clean red carpet was spread on the deck, some young silver moon elf girls wearing beautiful dance skirts came out of the cabin in twos and threes.

The dance floor was surrounded by silver moon fairies.

An elf man in a fine dress.He was chatting reservedly around the female elves.

Roy wanted to watch the fun on the deck, and when he arrived under the ship building, he saw several elves laughing and chatting together.

When passing by several elves, they saw two elves frowned, put their index fingers under their noses calmly, and glanced at Roy with disgust...

Roy walked around the deck with the cup.

Many Silvermoon elves would cast strange glances at Roy, reminiscent of the scenes when they followed Ms. Belinda to those boring balls when they were young.

This made Roy suddenly feel bored, so he simply returned to the roof of the ship building.

Blow the sea breeze.

He heard a soft music coming from the bow.

The bad mood has also become relieved...

Probably the sound of the music attracted a few dolphins, and they kept jumping around beside the ship uneasy, splashing water one after another.

Roy leaned on the railing with both hands, and followed the dolphins with his eyes.

……

From the bows of the Nautilus sounded softly,
The silver moon female elves standing on the edge of the dance floor all showed anticipation. They were wearing beautiful dance skirts, and they were all showing off their slender waists and long legs under the light long skirts.

The elf men invite their female companions, and then walk into the dance floor together, dancing to the soothing music.

Miss Edith was dressed in a fine attire, and accompanied by her best friend Phyllis, she walked out of the room on the top floor of the ship building. Behind Miss Edith was a group of young companions.

Although these young elf girls were not as good as Edith and Phyllis in appearance and attire, they were all very beautiful and attracted the attention of most men on the deck.

Miss Edith came down from the second floor, and immediately several elves and nobles lined up to invite Miss Edith to dance.

Miss Edith responded to several elf nobles very politely.

After several dances in a row, Miss Edith's nose was dripping with sweat, and she declined the invitation of the elf nobleman behind, expressing that she needed to take a break.

Best friend Phyllis was still circling on the dance floor, she didn't seem to have any plans to take a break.

She looked up, and just saw Roy standing on the top floor, with his hands propped on the railing, blowing the sea breeze.

Miss Edith, cup in one hand and skirt in the other, went up to the top floor of the ship.

Coming to Roy's side and standing side by side with him, Miss Edith turned her head to look at Roy. The sea breeze blew her silver curly hair into a mess, but she smiled beautifully.

"Why are you here alone? You should take the initiative, not all elves are so xenophobic, they are just a little arrogant, so don't close yourself up because of the attitude of a few elves."

Miss Edith smiled and said to Roy.

Then she turned around, put her hand in front of Roy, smiled at him and said:
"Come on, dance with me!"

Roy looked a little embarrassed and said, "I'm not very good at dancing."

Miss Edith could not help but grasp Roy's hand tightly, dragged him downstairs, and said:

"It doesn't matter, just follow my pace and walk slowly."

The Silvermoon elves standing on the deck would look at Miss Edith from time to time.

Naturally, I saw the scene where Edith dragged Roy into the dance floor.

It was only at this time that everyone began to notice the half-elf, and they all inquired about his identity and background.

After a dance was over, Miss Edith had to deal with the other elves, so she left Roy on the dance floor.

Because of a dance with Miss Edith, some elves immediately approached Roy and communicated with him.

However, as the elves heard that Roy was just Edith's classmate and had no identity or background, most of the Silver Moon elves made excuses and left.

Roy stood on the edge of the dance floor with his glass, alone again.

This time he was not in a hurry to go to the top of the ship building to enjoy the sea breeze, after all, it was too conspicuous there.

Roy walked to the long table with the fruit plate, picked some unfamiliar fruits, put them into an empty plate, and stood beside the long table to taste carefully.

……

Claire walked out of the cabin in a dress, yawning, and walked out of the building, looking for Roy among the crowd.

Fortunately, there were no elves in Roy's area. Claire passed through the crowd and strode to Roy's side. He also picked up a plate from the square table at random, picked some fruits, and moved to Roy's side.

eat together...

Claire stared at the elf beauty dancing on the dance floor, while complaining to Roy:
"Roy, the dance has started, why don't you call me?"
