Path of Light.

Chapter 2 2. Bread and Poetry
In the morning, wake up.

Getting up from a soft bed is a test of willpower.

At the entrance of the entrance in the living room, beside Roy's muddy shoes, there is a well-made moccasin boot, and the other boot is stuck to the door. It seems that Ms. Belinda came back last night. A dress was hanging over the chair.

Preparing breakfast is not troublesome, you only need to peel the breadfruit and prepare a cup of fragrant tea.

Roy has always thought that breadfruit is a kind of magical thing.

There is no need for wheat flour and an oven, but this thing is not in line with Roy's taste, but there is no way, everyone eats this.

Wheat flour can also be bought in Castletown Port, but these foods from the human world are very expensive in the elf world, and Roy can't bake bread at all.

The breadfruit eaten by the elves is very different from the one Roy had seen in his previous life, except for the same name...

This breadfruit is more like durian.

This kind of breadfruit grows in a hard and thorny shell. When it is ripe, the shell can be easily separated into five petals. The pulp lies inside like a croissant, but the pulp of the breadfruit is not too sweet, with a kind of tree flavor. It is fragrant and can be eaten directly or dipped in salt.

Roy broke open a quarter of the breadfruit, first for himself, and put the other in a porcelain plate, and then prepared a cup of impatiens honey tea for Belinda.

And he drinks a glass of diluted life sap, which slows down aging.

In the central garden of Castletown, there is a tree of life that has grown for nearly 5000 years, and the silver moon elves in the city can receive a copy there every month.

Belinda was always worried that Roy would grow too fast, and always said that she had dreamed that Roy died in her arms, so she insisted that Roy drink every day.

Sit at the table and eat food from the taste list.

Recalling that before he traveled to this world, he was a third-year student who made a sudden surprise attack before the final exam. That day Roy rushed to the library to take a seat. There were many people in the library. Even though he came early, those people There are almost all kinds of private books on the desk...

He walked along the rows of bookshelves, wondering how many rows of bookshelves there were in the library on the second floor, and soon his attention was on them, feeling that no matter how he walked, he would never end.

In the end, I just felt that I couldn't see other students around. I didn't expect that there was such a quiet area in the library, which was really incredible.

It's just that the books on the bookshelves seem to be in foreign languages, and those words are not English, French, German, Italian, or Japanese, like inexplicable ghostly symbols.

Randomly pulled out a heavy ancient copper-covered book. On the cover were two elves, one holding a long sword and the other holding a staff. The two faced each other and looked up at a crescent moon above their heads.Although I can't understand the text above, the patterns drawn inside seem to describe the world of elves.

In fact, Roy is interested in looking back, just to see if there are elf beauties in the illustrations. The slender figures of elves are in line with the aesthetics of Chinese people.

He only turned a few pages, and then the whole book turned by itself, and it was getting faster and faster, just like a money counter. After only a few seconds, a book was completely read from beginning to end.

And at the end of the page is actually a huge vortex, like a huge black hole.

Roy was sucked in all at once, and he had no chance to struggle and call for help.

……

I don't know how long I have been sleeping in the dark. When Roy opened his eyes, he found that he had come to this elf country and became the son of Ms. Belinda.

This elf mother, who was nothing like him, treated him well.

However, she is the kind of petty bourgeois literary elf, and almost all the money she earns is used to enjoy life. She is always so sentimental, and likes to pursue both material and spiritual enjoyment. She often wears beautiful clothes to participate in various dance parties.

She is a silver moon elf with pure blood, so after wearing a dress, she can always enter the ball on various occasions.

Not Roy, even if Belinda assured him that he was a half-elf with Silvermoon elf blood, many guards at the entrance of the ball would not allow such a human-like half-elf to enter.

Roy would obediently wait by the flower bed at the entrance of the prom venue every time, and always comforted Belinda that she didn't like dancing at all.

How can there be an elf who doesn't like dancing!

Ms. Belinda, Roy must be comforting her, and the number of times Belinda took Roy to dances gradually decreased.

Recently, Ms. Belinda found a new job and became an assistant to a sculptor in the city. Although she does some odd jobs every day, such a job with a strong literary and artistic atmosphere is very suitable for her.

Ms. Belinda was wearing a cool pajamas, and walked down the stairs yawning barefoot, her snow-white arms were almost completely exposed, and the nightgown stuck to her slender body, which couldn't hide much.

She almost always wears this when she is at home.

For a silver moon elf who is less than three hundred years old, she is still very young, if she happens to be 28 or [-] years old in the human world.

She has long silver hair curled up randomly on the top of her head, and there are heavy bags under her big blue eyes. Every time she lacks sleep, her eyes will become a little puffy.

She is not the kind of elf with an extremely beautiful appearance, but she knows herself well, and she can also dress up, so that she can always show a kind of intelligence in herself.

Sitting in front of the dining table, he looked Roy up and down first, then took a sip of honey tea, and then used a spoon to dig the breadfruit on the plate to eat.

Watching her eat breadfruit looks like she's eating ice cream.

"How was your day yesterday?"

Ms. Belinda wanted to pinch Roy's cheek, but Roy turned his head away.

"That's it. I want to go fishing in the sea today."

Roy put down the spoon in his hand and said his plan.

Belinda hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, but stop picking up those shellfish on the rocks, they taste like slugs and make me sick just looking at them."

Roy shrugged his shoulders, "Okay! Actually, that thing is really delicious, especially with a little lemon juice."

Then came Ms. Belinda's nagging time.

Like all mothers, Ms. Belinda had expectations of Roy of one kind or another.

"You have to learn the appearance and habits that elves should have. After all, you live in the kingdom of elves. I really don't know where you learned these human habits. Could it be that the human talent hidden in your body has awakened?" Bei Ms. Linda felt very helpless about this.

Thinking of the task assigned to Roy, Ms. Belinda asked Roy:

"Have you finished the book of poetry that I showed you last week?"

Roy bit the bullet and replied, "Looked a little bit."

In fact, Roy couldn't even remember where the book was in the room.

Poems of elves...

Thinking about Roy, he felt that the whole person was not well.

"This is not acceptable, we Silvermoon elves would rather have no bread than no poetry..." Belinda nags to Roy.

Roy replied not to be outdone:
"I know you can eat fish without bread."

Breakfast is very simple, just need to brush two plates and cups, almost all of which are done by Roy.

……

After breakfast, Ms. Belinda went to work at the art gallery in a new dress with a maple leaf pattern.

Roy also scrubbed his mud-stained shoes and hung them on the second-floor terrace before walking out of the house with a fishing rod and a wooden bucket, all the way down the Darne River. You can reach the beach by walking, where is the mouth of the Dane River, and there is a reef area that is very suitable for fishing.

Elves don't like to get up too early, except those who go to the orchard to collect dew in the morning.

The street is deserted, but very clean.

On one side of this street is the Darne River, and on the other side there are some shops in wooden houses. The shop closest to Roy’s house is a shop that sells breadfruit. In fact, there are many other kinds of fruits in it, but Roy I feel that none of these can be taken out for breakfast, so I only eat breadfruit every morning.

There is also a pharmacy shop at the intersection. The shelves are full of various test tubes, which contain liquids of various colors. It is said that many of them are expensive potions.

Roy didn't understand these things, but he was very familiar with the night saber cub chained to the door of the pharmacy, and would occasionally give it a fish or two.

This street is almost full of ordinary two-storey wooden houses. The paint on the outside of many wooden houses has been repainted many times. Living by the sea is very bad. It seems to be wet all year round, even the wind blowing There is a strong fishy smell in it.

Going forward from the intersection, there is a Statue of Liberty built on a slightly raised rock wall. It is said that every weekend morning, a group of people come to pray, and everyone will sit and sing together. The neighbor Ji Ms. Liane's eldest daughter, Sabrina, is a member of the choir in the temple.

In fact, Roy has always wanted to go inside, but every time he passed the door and saw the statue of the goddess holding a scepter in the center of the flower bed in the temple courtyard through the iron fence, his footsteps became hesitant...

Roy, who was standing on the side of the road, saw a blurry figure emerging from the corner of the north wall of the temple from a distance. He jumped out of the wall, grunted and threw himself into the wild grass outside the wall, and then disappeared. .

Roy didn't pay much attention to it. The thief who dared to climb over the wall at this early morning might be an elf who secretly dated a certain priest in the temple.

Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the port. There are more than a dozen three-masted sailing ships moored on the pier of the port, and there are dozens of small fishing boats. Now that the tide has just receded, only the smallest fishing boats can swim at such a low water level. To go to sea, the big ship can only wait for the next spring tide if it wants to go to sea.

Next to the pier is a golden beach, the sea receded, leaving many shells on the beach.

Roy was barefoot, wearing a pair of overalls, rolled up his trousers and strode down the beach.

The sea surface in the distance is connected with the sky. Roy first dug some sandworms on the beach by the sea and smashed them into a wooden barrel. Then he ran to the reef area by the sea with a fishing rod and climbed onto a huge reef closest to the sea. , There are some oysters all over this reef, and many places are very thorny. There are only a few places where they can settle, and Roy cleaned them up bit by bit.

This is where he fishes.

Stand on the reef.

Roy looked towards the end of the sea, thinking about what kind of country there is on the other side of the sea...
