Path of Light.

Chapter 669 670. Don't let time slip away from missing you

The medium-sized sailing ship arrived at the Castletown Harbor terminal just as the night lights were coming on. The lights from the city lit up the entire hillside. The statue of the Silver Moon Elf was hidden in the night, and only a vague outline could be seen, as if it was shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The sea was relatively calm, without much wind or waves, and the medium-sized sailboat was sailing smoothly on the sea.

It was the first time for Leah and Alice to see the sea in their lives, and also the first time to ride a boat. Although they had made a magic airship before, the magic airship had only fallen into the sea in the safe harbor of Partington Island.

The medium-sized sailboat brought them a completely different experience. The waves kept hitting the bow, and the two sisters even felt a little seasick.

But Leah quickly recovered from this dizzy state.

The bright lights in the distance showed the difference between this place and the dark land. The salty sea breeze blew on her face, and Leah stretched her body.

She hid in the cabin for the whole day and only came out to the deck to get some fresh air in the evening. When night came, she felt very comfortable.

Alice, wrapped in a scarf, also walked out of the cabin. She looked curiously at the statue of the Silver Moon Elf on the top of the mountain and asked Roy:
"That Silver Moon Elf must be the hero here."

Roy was stunned for a moment, then he followed her gaze and realized what he was talking about, the landmark of Castletown.

"Many elves say that the statue is Earl Amelia Ellington, who founded the city of Castletown," said Roy.

Thinking of Countess Amelia, Roy found that he had not been to Ellington Castle for some time.

I don't think I'll have time to return to Castleton this time...

Leah looked at the port dock which was becoming clearer and clearer in her eyes. The dock was full of various ships and was very lively. Although it was already dark, there were still many elves walking around on the dock, and some half-elves were moving boxes of supplies off the ship.

The great magician Grams was not interested in watching these and rested alone in the cabin.

Roy introduced the two sisters:

"This is Castletown Harbor, located on the east coast of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom in the Elf Continent. It is a natural harbor. If we can cross this endless sea, the other side of the sea is Roland Continent."

Breathing in the familiar smell of the sea, Roy felt his whole body relax.

There was only a streak of red left in the sky, and Roy continued to say to the two sisters:
"I brought you to Castletown. If you like it here and are willing to settle down in the Elven Continent, then don't come back to Golfito with me."

He pointed to the brightly lit street in front of him and said to the two sisters:
"Living in this city shouldn't be stressful for you."

Alice stood aside and said nothing, but Leah put her hands on her hips, raised her head and glared at him, questioning:
"Roy, are you planning to throw us away? Just like throwing away garbage?"

Roy was a little confused by Leah's words. When did he become a scumbag?

"Huh? Why do you say that? I just think you are suitable to settle down in Castletown. If you don't want to stay here, you can come back to Golfito with me." Roy said.

Leah looked at Roy and said very seriously: "Alice and I have already decided that we want to become your followers and join the mine guards."

"I thought your minds would change after you came to Castletown. Don't rush to make a decision. You're going to stay here for a few days anyway. Take a good walk around Castletown. Maybe when we kick you out, you won't want to leave..."

The three of them stood by the side of the boat, facing the sea breeze, looking at the blurred boundary between the sea and the sky in the distance, with the brightly lit port terminal and the Mid-Levels market behind them...

Leah asked Roy for no reason: "Roy, what is your dream?"

Roy said casually: "I don't have any dreams. In fact, I have always wanted to prove that this world is not real."

"Have you proved it?"

"without……"

……

At the Castletown Port dock, Roy discovered that the Empire merchant ships could actually anchor at the Deepwater Dock. However, there were always elf guards wandering around that area, and it was deserted at night. Apart from the supplies piled up on the dock, there were no Empire crew members to be seen.

The great magician Grams came down from the boat and said to Roy in high spirits:
"I will report to the Magic Guild first. We will meet at the entrance of the Magic Guild tomorrow morning. This trip will take about three days. During this time, you have to settle them both down."

Roy looked at the two sisters who were following him and looking around at the surrounding buildings, and shouted to them:
"Liya, Alice, come with me. I'll take you to find a place to live."

The Black Pearl ran aground on the beach. Its main mast has now become a big green tree, and the top of the ship's tower has become a flower bed full of bright flowers.

Roy took Leah and Alice through the Deepwater Pier and came to the front of the Black Pearl.

Opening the bottom hatch of the Pearl, Roy introduced to Leah:
"This ship is jointly owned by me and two friends, but they died a long time ago. Now the Black Pearl belongs to me. I modified it slightly. I have a friend who lives here usually. I will introduce you to him later. You two can stay on the Black Pearl for a few days."

Leah walked in the dark cabin corridor, and Alice followed behind them, holding up a ball of holy light in her hand, which instantly illuminated the passage.

"who is it?"

Tiffany's voice came from above, and then a ball of ice flame appeared on the steps, illuminating the corridor in a pale white...

Roy even heard the faint sound of Tiffany chanting a spell.

He was worried that Tiffany would drop an ice ball and then perform ice explosion, so he immediately agreed:

"Tiffany, it's Roy, I'm back."

There was a cheer on the deck, and then the hatch on the deck was pushed open from the outside. A slender figure ran in from outside the hatch and shouted:

"Roy, why did you suddenly come back from Golfito? Is the garrison mission over?"

Roy went to meet him and said, "There's a little trouble over at Partington Island. I'll come back to deal with it and visit Castletown. Oh, let me introduce you to two friends, Leah and Alice. They are sisters from the Dark Land."

Miss Tiffany then noticed the two half-elves behind Roy. She tugged at her lilac-colored mermaid-tail dress, revealing a perfect teardrop-shaped outline on her chest. She then looked at Leah and Alice with a scrutinizing expression.

"This is Leah, and this is Alice. They came from the Dark Zone." Roy introduced.

Before Roy could say Miss Tiffany's name, Miss Tiffany took the lead and stretched out her hand to the two sisters and said:

"Hello, I'm Tiffany, welcome to the Black Pearl."

Leah is more outgoing and likes to be at the forefront no matter what she does. She took the initiative to come forward and greet Miss Tiffany. Alice followed behind Leah and looked around the deck curiously.

Miss Tiffany came up and gave Roy a big hug.

Roy whispered to Tiffany, "I plan to let them stay with you for a few days. I will come back and take them away in three days."

"no problem."

Miss Tiffany agreed.

Leah and Alice were arranged on the Black Pearl. The room was very clean and there were supplies from Xiangyang...

Soon the three of them became familiar with each other.

……

Roy walked home alone along Brown Street. The street was deserted and only a shadow followed Roy.

When I opened the gate, I found that the house was pitch black and there was nothing hanging on the clothesline on the terrace. It was obvious that no one lived in the house.

Roy couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. When he walked into the house, although the room had been cleaned, the air was filled with a damp smell.
The rainy season has just passed, and everything is wet, with mold spots appearing in many places.

The room was still empty. Roy did not turn on the lights in the living room. He went directly to the second floor and looked at Ms. Belinda's bedroom. The dust sheet on the bed was covered by Roy himself.

Roy turned around with some disappointment. He originally wanted to go to the terrace to take a look, and when he turned around, he glanced at the showroom opposite.

Roy was surprised to see that there was a row of display shelves in Belinda's studio, filled with some new sculptures.

Roy strode in quickly, and a ball of holy flame flew out from Roy's hand. Roy saw the brand new carvings on the display shelves, most of which were works from the Wood Elves Kingdom.
As for the set of sculptures from Roy's Growth series on the opposite side of the display shelf, the last piece was taken six years ago...

Roy still missed Ms. Belinda quite a bit.

She can always maintain an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. She is full of passion for life and always likes to record every bit of her life through carving.
Almost every one of the new sculptures on the display shelf is filled with Belinda's abundant emotions...

Looking at the sculptures, Roy felt that Ms. Belinda seemed to have a new life.

Only a new life can give her some new emotions in the emotional expression of her works, and that is a life that belongs entirely to Ms. Belinda.

Elves worship love, but never marry.

The elves will stay together when they are in love, and will separate when they feel tired or other things happen. They will never cry or get angry.

Most elves can live to be eight hundred years old, but few can stay together for their entire lives...

Ms. Belinda probably felt that Roy was old enough to be independent, so she slowly faded out of his life.

She took time to come back and left her new works in the showroom, obviously trying to subtly tell Roy that she had a new life.

Roy stood in the showroom for a long time, his heart was filled with mixed feelings...

In the darkness, two soft arms suddenly came up from behind Roy, warm and fresh breath blew into his ears, and a familiar and long-lost fragrance filled his nose.

"Roy, did you miss me?"

The voice is still so sweet...

Roy held the two soft little hands, turned his head and saw that beautiful face.

Big eyes like purple grapes, a straight nose, and a slightly chubby chin make Moira always look a bit childish.

This is also the reason why Roy and Moira's relationship has never been able to get any closer...

Even though Moira was already an adult according to the customs of the elves, Roy still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

Roy couldn't help but pecked her soft little cherry mouth...

The crystal clear pointed ears suddenly turned red, and the little face was also red.

"Oh, Roy!" Moira called softly.

Roy turned around and gave Moira a big hug. The two stared at each other, and they could clearly hear each other's heartbeats in the darkness.

The two heads naturally came together and kissed sweetly.

After a long moment, Moira pushed away with all her strength, gasping for air.

Roy and Moira sat on the terrace, back to back, resting their heads on each other's shoulders, so they could see the bright night sky...

"How are Mrs. Gillian and Sabrina?" Roy inquired.

Moira said, "Mom is still the same. My sister is training elven knights in the Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane. I haven't seen her for a long time."

Roy then remembered that it was Captain Tiprado who wanted to train some griffin cavalry, so he invited Sabrina over. However, Roy did not expect that Sabrina had not returned yet.

"Is Sabrina still over at Sunny Isles Bay?"

Moira obviously didn't buy it. She wrinkled her delicate nose and said, "I thought you knew it a long time ago!"

Roy had to explain patiently: "Well, Mulin didn't tell me about this, and Tiprado didn't say when the training would end..."

"How long can you stay in Castletown this time?" Moira asked expectantly.

"We're leaving tomorrow morning."

Moira pouted and said, "No elf is as busy as you!"

Roy explained in a low voice: "I have no choice. I have made an appointment with others. This time I am going to customize a set of level 2 magic pattern equipment."

Then he asked, "By the way, when did Ms. Belinda come back?"

Moira thought for a moment and replied:

"About half a year ago. She came back and stayed for two weeks before leaving. Belinda...she had a tall wood elf with her."

She spoke the second half of the sentence a little hesitantly, obviously worried that Roy wouldn't be able to accept it.

Roy could only force a smile and whispered to Moira, "What does that wood elf look like? Is he handsome?"

"He's tall and big, and quite handsome... Oh, I don't think he's handsome at all!"

Moira changed her tone midway through her speech...

The two sat on the terrace and chatted until Moira dozed off.

Moira rested her head on Roy's shoulder and soon fell asleep.

Roy didn't move, just sat there alone looking at the stars in the night sky.

It was not until Ms. Gillian came back with the flatbed cart that Roy carried the sleeping Moira through the gate and into the next yard.

Ms. Gillian looked at her little daughter sleeping on Roy's back, and then examined the half-elf in front of her: "Roy, when did you come back?"

"In the evening."

Ms. Gillian took Moira from Roy and said with emotion:
"Roy, you've really grown up. I heard that you joined the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion and are doing pretty well in the army?"

Roy said modestly: "No, I'm always getting into trouble!"

He bowed to Ms. Gillian and was about to turn back when he heard Ms. Gillian say behind Roy:

"Come back more often if you have time. Don't let time slip away in your longing..."

"Got it, Mrs. Gillian."
