Path of Light.

Chapter 19 19. Run Roy
"Instructor, I plan to team up with Roy."

Claire waited for all the elves to complete the test, and then went to Instructor Abbot Nora with Roy to apply.

The female elf instructor just looked at Claire's handsome face, and asked with a half-smile:

"Your name is Claire?"

Claire quickly reported her name.

"Yes. Wagner Claire."

Instructor Abbot Nora nodded, reached out and hammered his chest, and then said:

"You look very similar to your sister, I hope you can also be an excellent ranger."

The smile on Claire's face was uglier than crying.

Instructor Abbot Nora said casually, "Okay, your application has been approved."

"Thank you, Instructor!"

Claire saluted respectfully and said.

Instructor Abbot Nora turned around and waved his hand. At this time, other elves also surrounded him, and everyone took the opportunity to ask various questions.

Claire put her arm on Roy's shoulder and said with some pride:

"Look, it's that simple..."

But Roy didn't think so, especially when Steve gave him a weird smile after finishing the test.

The first martial arts training class only has a physical fitness test. After the physical fitness test is over, this class is coming to an end.

Instructor Abbott Nora asked everyone to prepare a set of light clothes and learn physical skills from tomorrow, which is a must-have skill for every elf ranger.

The group of elf students cheered when they heard Instructor Abbot Nora say that they had started to learn elf body skills.

The class also ended after this cheer.

……

Roy still has a geography class in the morning, and Roy has to go to the corresponding classroom according to the number written on the bulletin board.

Claire reported the subjects of ancient elf language, astronomy, plants, sculpture, and music. Except for martial arts, other courses were not the same as Roy's.

Claire was going to study the harp in the music room, and the guy signed up for six courses, with two big lessons in the afternoon.

Roy finished his geography class this morning. Even if all the classes are over, he will still go to the Temple of Liberty to learn magic in the afternoon.

According to the number on the bulletin board, Roy walked into the third teaching building of the college. Although Roy was here for the first time, he could easily find the classroom according to the number hanging in the corridor of the teaching building.

The design of this teaching building is very different. The interior of the elliptical building is divided into some classrooms. It does not look very regular. It can be said that each classroom is connected with a corridor, but it is definitely not a regular square.

This geography classroom is circular, and there are two entrances on the left and right sides. You can walk in directly by bypassing a corridor. The classroom is open and there are no doors at all.

Walking into the classroom, you can see that the walls around the classroom are covered with maps, including the three kingdoms of the entire elf continent, as well as the endless sea on the east side of the continent and the twin seas on the west side.

In the center of the room is a huge sand table covered in a protective cover. The various mountains and rivers on the sand table are made vividly, and some booths around the classroom are equipped with some geographical models, which are all miniature versions of some mountains and rifts. Even the classrooms The surrounding green plants are all unique plant samples in various regions of the Silver Moon Kingdom.

After entering the classroom, the furnishings here opened a new door of knowledge for Roy.

It turned out that the Eastern Continent looked like a leg of lamb. Before Roy found Castleton along the coastline from the sand table, Mr. Harper Gustav, who taught everyone geography, walked in from outside.

I don't know how old this elf old man is. He has a hunchback, leans on a cane with one hand, wears a white robe and a cone hat, and walks in slowly.

The noisy classroom immediately fell silent, and a group of students waiting at the door saluted Mr. Harper.

Roy also followed their example and bowed to the elf teacher...

The geography teacher went straight to the front of the sand table. His gaze scanned the classroom for a while, and then he set his sights on the sand table again.

Without roll call or self-introduction, he pointed the cane to a raised place in the corner of the sand table, and said in a low and hoarse voice:
"This is Castletown Harbor in the Falmouth Region."

"It's only [-] kilometers away from Buenos, but it belongs to two regions with this elf king city..."

"This is located in the middle of the elves' kingdom, and it belongs to a peninsula that juts out into the sea."

"It is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the fishing industry is very developed..."

His speech is very fast, but very rhythmic.

While listening carefully, Roy opened the textbook, only to realize that he spoke very casually, and did not start from the first page of the textbook.

When he turned to the page describing the Port of Castleton, he realized that Mr. Harper Gustav's description was much more detailed than that in the textbook. There were some messy notes on the page, and Roy felt that there were some notes on the page Just remember some of the above, maybe there is not enough space.

So I recorded the description of the Harper Gustav teacher about Castleton Harbor in a sheepskin notebook.

He stood in an inconspicuous corner.

Mr. Harper quickly finished introducing Castleton City, then slowed down and said to everyone:
"That's right, this is Castletown. Since everyone is studying at the Castletown Elven Academy, I hope that when you leave the academy, when someone asks you what you have learned in the academy? You can at least take the card Sulton made it clear."

"Since everyone chooses to study geography, my request is very simple. No matter which town I talk about in the areas on the map you have learned, you must immediately tell me which city is closest to it. And can be accurately pointed out on the map."

"If it's a city, I need you to clearly know the city's landmarks, population and specialties."

"My geography class doesn't require you to play freely. As long as you memorize all the knowledge here, you will be considered qualified."

He pointed to his head, turned around in a circle, and looked at the students around him.

Although the voice is not high, it is full of momentum.

"do you understand?"

"understand!"

All responded.

Roy was also a little surprised. This little old man who looked a bit inconspicuous looked quite unusual.

At this time, Roy heard someone in the crowd whispering:

"Don't listen to him, the final exam is the most difficult question he gave. Last year, the question he asked was 'When the eastern coastline is completely blocked, how many days does it take for the elf guards of the Silver Moon City to start from Buenos? Arrive at Innohouse in St. Margaery's Forest in the Forest of Evernight.'"

"On this topic... one-third of the students directly retake this course."

"Do you know why so many students saluted him at the door just now? They all failed to pass their graduation thesis last year..."

"..."

Roy's back felt chills after listening to it. It seemed that this geography class was not that easy.

When Mr. Harper said this, the students around him really began to concentrate, and everyone's expressions became serious.

Then came the formal class of geography class. Mr. Harper's lecture was very interesting, but there were a lot of things to memorize by rote.

A big class takes almost two hours, and Roy wrote down all the key points of Mr. Harper's lecture in the sheepskin notebook.

He felt that the knowledge points written on the pages of the book were too messy, after all, 'a good memory is not as good as a bad pen'.

It contains many personal opinions of Mr. Harper, which are not in the book.

In class, there are not many students who take class notes like Roy. Most students just draw some horizontal lines in the key places in the book and write some notes under the horizontal lines.

There are no chairs in this classroom, and everyone is standing and listening to the class.

Even Mr. Harper finished speaking standing up...

……

Noon

It started to rain.

The rain fell, forming a water curtain on the steps at the entrance of the teaching building.

The entire city was shrouded in gray clouds, and gusts of wind blew past, causing the rain curtains to swing back and forth.

Roy was a little distressed standing under the eaves, he didn't bring an umbrella.

In fact, in the kingdom of elves, umbrellas are not popular, and more often they are one of the belongings of elf women.

The elves don't care much about the light rain. Many elves like to wear light leather armor. This thing is waterproof in itself, or it is a rainproof cloak.

Roy was going to rush to the Statue of Liberty.

For lunch, Ms. Belinda specially prepared a croissant for him, which was filled with jam and full of milk flavor.

Roy stuffed the bread into his mouth after a few mouthfuls, and then wrapped the two textbooks with the oiled paper that wrapped the bread.

This will at least keep the two books out of the rain.

Putting the textbook on his head, Roy took a sharp breath and rushed into the rain...

……

When Steve led a group of friends to the door of the teaching building, he only saw Roy rushing into the rain with his books on his back.

Several elves looked at Steve, and Steve had some sternness on his sinister face.

"We chase..."

Under the gaze of other elf students on the steps, these elves rushed out in the rain.

Cloaked on elven cloaks, they hurried out of the academy gates and got into a waiting carriage.

The coachman waved his long whip and drove in the direction where Roy disappeared.

Steve pushed open the window on the left side of the car, and a gust of wind and rain wetted the printed curtains of the car, and the rain splashed on Steve's face, making him squint his eyes and look out the window at the long street in the rain.

There are not many pedestrians on the street. Some elves hold umbrellas in one hand and hold down their skirts with the other. They also wrap their bodies in leather cloaks and walk through the rain with big strides...

The clothes that the elves usually wear are very elegant, and the clothes will fade when they get wet in the rain. Few elves run in the rain like Roy.

The stall owners took their goods to shelter from the rain, and the street seemed empty.

The elves without rain gear ran to the store on the side of the street to avoid the rain. A carriage rushed out of the rain curtain. Amidst the neighing of the horse, the carriage stopped on the side of the road in front of Roy.

The door of the carriage was pushed open at once, and several young silver moon elves jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Roy quickly.

Roy was slightly taken aback, and stopped on the spot.

The rain was getting heavier, and Roy's clothes were almost soaked, and the cold rain dripped down his trouser legs and into his shoes.

At this time, Roy finally saw through the rain curtain that the person walking at the front of the crowd was Steve.

Their pace is fast...

When they saw themselves, several elves even dispersed subconsciously.

Roy knew that these elves were approaching him, so he was definitely not invited to lunch...

And definitely not aimless walks in the rain...

Then the only possibility is to ask for trouble.

With so many people on the opposite side, Roy turned around and entered the alley on the right without hesitation.
