Path of Light.

Chapter 199. 200. Druid Boy

Roy followed Gru into the hotel room.

The room is not too big, with a bunk bed, a wooden wardrobe with doors facing each other, and a desk and a chair by the window.
There is only one window in the house, and the window can be opened just enough to have a panoramic view of the town...

The hotel is not too big, but the rooms are very unique. Although they are built on the stone wall, the rooms are almost entirely made of wood.

There are hot spring pools in each room of the hotel. These hot spring pools are not too big, even smaller than ordinary bathtubs. These hot spring pools are dug out of the mountain wall and filled with clear hot spring water. , a stream of water flows from the side, and the overflowing hot spring water flows outside along the drainage channel under the feet.

Each hot spring pool is private enough.

Instructor Gru put the salute on the upper bunk, jumped lightly, and sat on his bed.

"Roy, I'll sleep on the upper bed, and you will sleep on the lower bed, how about it?"

"Okay!"

Roy turned around from the window, glanced at the bed, and readily agreed.

Before Roy sat on the bed for a while, Sabrina stood at the door, knocked on the door and poked her head in, saying to Roy:
"Roy, I just saw the fish market in the town, why don't we make some fish and eat them?"

Roy was quite moved by Sabrina's proposal, but they didn't eat anything on the boat.

Roy thought of the pleasant scenery of the coastline on Partington Island, and there was just a sea reef near the port pier suitable for fishing. Anyway, staying on the island for two days would be very leisurely, so he proposed to Sabrina:
"Okay, I just brought the fishing rod, otherwise we'll go fishing at the beach and bake whatever we catch..."

"Alright." She readily agreed.

Sabrina knew Roy's barbecue skills, and every time Roy brought the grilled fish to Moira, the two of them shared the food.

Strolling on the beach on the island is better than staying in a hotel.

Roy stood up and said to Sabrina, "I'll go say hello to Instructor Nora first..."

……

Knocking on the door of Instructor Nora's room, Miss Scarlett seemed to be lying on the bed to catch up on sleep.

Roy was a little embarrassed, and tried to lower his voice and said to Instructor Nora:

"Instructor Nora, we want to go to the beach!"

Said Sabrina appeared behind Roy.

Instructor Nora glanced at Sabrina, didn't say anything else, just said: "Yes, but you must pay attention to safety."

Not long after Roy and Sabrina left, Instructor Virgil stood at the door of Sabrina's room, holding a fruit plate in one hand, and unbuttoned a button on the collar of the shirt with one hand, and then took it easy. Slowly and gently knocked on the door twice, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside the door.

After waiting for a while, Instructor Virgil knocked on the door again impatiently.

The door of the next room was pushed open by Gru.

Gru glanced at the fruit plate in Instructor Virgil's hand, stretched out his hand to pick up an apple from the fruit plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely to Instructor Virgil:

"I just went out. I heard that I was going to the beach to eat fish. You still have time to catch up..."

Instructor Virgil smiled "hehe" and said:

"Just go out."

Instructor Gru took out a piece of fruit from the fruit plate again, put it in his mouth and ate it into his stomach.

"This one doesn't seem to like you, I think you'd better change it." Instructor Gru said.

Instructor Virgil blinked his eyes, hesitated for a while, and found that he was still a little bit reluctant, so he said:

"Wait and see..."

……

In the afternoon, Roy and Sabrina walked along the only passage in the town to the beach near the pier.

Sure enough, as Roy said, there is not only a reef area suitable for fishing, but also a beautiful white beach, but it is close to the beach in December, which is not very suitable for swimming.

Roy found a suitable fishing spot on the reef, and the bait was the sandworm he just dug out on the beach. Soon Roy caught two stone fish.

Carrying a fresh stone fish, Roy stood on the reef and waved vigorously to Sabrina.

Sabrina picked up some dry wood in the woods, then built a bonfire on the beach, surrounded by stones.

The fire is burning very vigorously, and it is not suitable for barbecue until all the firewood is burned into charcoal.

Not long after, Roy walked over from the reef, holding a tin bucket in his hand, which contained not only a few fish, but also some oysters and conch that he had dug on the reef.

Oysters and conch are things that half-blood elves hardly eat, but Roy thinks they are full of umami, even more delicious than grilled fish.

In fact, Sabrina prefers to eat fruit, but she was born in a fish selling family, so she does not exclude fish.

Remove the scales and viscera of sea fish, marinate them with salt, string them with sticks cut from branches, and grill them slowly on the campfire. As the fat in the fish is roasted, drop by drop on the charcoal fire, the aroma It also spread out.

Sprinkle with spices, and the aroma of barbecue wafts far away...

After placing the grilled fish on the wooden board, Roy threw another stone into the charcoal fire. He was not afraid of the heat, so he placed the conch on the stone and waited for the conch to be cooked slowly.

As for the oysters, Roy directly pried open the shells with a dagger, squeezed a little lemon juice, and sucked it into his stomach in one mouthful. It tasted sweet...

Sabrina took a bunch of grilled sea fish, and slowly tore the flesh from it with her hands.

She didn't necessarily want to try grilled fish, but she just wanted to sit on the beach and enjoy the sea view and sunset quietly for a while, which was more comfortable than staying in a hotel.

Just when Sabrina was about to put down the grilled fish, she suddenly saw the bushes shake violently in the bushes next to the beach, and a brown bear came out of the bushes.

The huge body is as strong as a hill, with its mouth slightly open, its eyes fixed on the grilled fish in Sabrina's hand.

Just when Sabrina was in a daze, the brown bear turned its huge hips and walked straight to the campfire.

It ignored both Roy and Sabrina, and sat down on its own.

Then the body began to twist, and in just a few seconds, the brown bear turned into an elf boy. His skin was a bit dark, with runes painted on his face, and he was wearing a set of leather armor. He took a skewer of grilled fish from the campfire, carefully put it under his nose and sniffed it vigorously.

Seeing that he was an elf boy, Roy lost all fear at last, and asked him directly:

"You...you are a bear spirit who became an elf?"

The elf boy was slightly taken aback, turned to look at Roy, and said:
"I'm a druid."

"Oh, before you are ready to eat our food, do you need to say hello to us, and do it with our permission..."

Roy wiped his mouth and asked the elf boy.

"I see that the two of you are full. It's a waste to put this food here. Why don't I help you eliminate it..."

The elf boy also spoke very interestingly, and he bit off the head of the grilled fish in one bite. He didn't spit out the thorns, and chewed it twice before swallowing it into his stomach.

Roy didn't stop him either, and after he finished eating one skewer of grilled fish, he handed him another skewer, allowing him to eat all of them.

Roy, on the other hand, sat in front of the bonfire and began to pick out the snail meat of a conch with a dagger, and ate it while it was hot.

"Can you eat this too?"

The elf boy asked curiously.

He had already swallowed the whole grilled fish, and wiped the grease from his mouth with the back of his hand.

Roy showed him a conch shell and said:
"Of course, it's just that most elves don't like to eat it. I'm a half-elf with half human blood in my body, so I can enjoy this delicious food!"

Seeing that the elf boy seemed very interested, he handed him one.

Following Roy's example, the elf boy picked out the snail meat with the dagger at his waist. He was not too afraid of the heat, so he chewed it twice in his mouth and spit it out again: "This is not delicious."

It doesn't matter to Roy...

He moved closer, stared at the elf boy, and asked curiously, "Are you a resident of the small town of Partington?"

The elf boy shook his head vigorously and said, "No, we're just passing by here, ready to go to the Partington plane."

The leather armor on his body seems to be hand-stitched in the most primitive way, and it is a bit rough...

Although he spoke Elvish, his tone of voice was very different from Castleton's.

The elf boy ate Roy's three grilled fish and wiped the seasoning on his mouth. Seeing Sabrina and Roy looking at him, he was a little embarrassed. Considering the first meeting, it was not good. Eating and taking for nothing, he fumbled out an oak seed from his pocket and handed it to Roy.

Roy took it in his hand. It was an oak seed that looked silver on the outside, and it should have nuts inside.

"I'll give you this oak tree seed." The elf boy said without beginning or end.

Roy looked at the delicateness of this seed, and didn't ask what it was used for. It was inedible. Could it be that it was planted in the yard and waited for it to take root and grow into a towering tree?
"Okay, I'm leaving, thank you for the dinner, I've never eaten this kind of grilled fish, it's delicious!"

Although the elf boy's face looked immature, his words were very sincere.

Then he turned and walked into the bushes.

Roy and Sabrina didn't stay on the beach for too long, they hurriedly extinguished the last embers of the campfire, and hurried back to the hotel.

When I came back, I happened to see Instructor Nora sitting in the living room chatting with Ms. Nancy...

……

"It's done, I put the things in the seventh confinement room, and it's up to you next."

Abt returned to the hotel and said to Benjamin with a tired face.

Benjamin was drawing a magic scroll, and he couldn't be distracted at this moment, so he agreed without raising his head:

"understood."

When he drew the scroll of the magic shield, he remembered what Abbott said when he walked in, that Bao Dong XZ was in the confinement room, so he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, why put Dong XZ in that place...

Benjamin put down the magic scroll in his hand, intending to chat with Abbott about the matter of Parlam Prison, but found that Abbott had already started to pray on the bed, so he didn't say anything...
