Path of Light.

Chapter 691 692. Siren
Partington is a very wonderful plane, where different regions can experience different changes of seasons.

It is always summer in the Padstow Forest and Sun Island Bay, and the Padstow Plateau has a similar plateau climate, with a large temperature difference between day and night. The southern part of the plateau can be said to be a season of transition between spring and summer, the temperature of the wilderness in the middle of the plateau is almost spring, and the mountains in the northern part of the plateau are covered with snow all year round...

According to the information provided by Captain Helik, the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau is a very vast ice field.

The fleet of the mine guard regiment left the Sun Island Bay, passed through the stone pillar forest, and came to this fjord with complex terrain. The climate here has actually become a little cooler.

A storm pushed Roy's fleet deep into the fjord, and continuous heavy rain caused hundreds of streams to appear on the mountains on both sides of the fjord...

The rain stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the sky was blue.

There are many temporary waterfalls in the fjord, which make the whole fjord shrouded in mist. You can even see some colorful rainbows facing the sun.

Moira and Sabrina stood at the bow, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, and couldn't help begging their sister to ride the griffin to take her for a ride in the sky, but this request was ruthlessly rejected by Sabrina:
"Xiaobai is my partner. I will only cooperate with him when we are on a mission. Don't even think about letting Xiaobai carry you around in the sky!"

Moira also argued: "Sabrina, I have ridden the griffins of Kaka and Eugene, why can't I ride yours?"

"That's right. If I say no, then it's not possible. I can share other things with you, but not Xiaobai. We already agreed on this when we signed the magic contract." Sabrina insisted.

"Sabrina, this is what you said. You're willing to share everything else with me... and I like to share with you, too."

Moira didn't seem to be angry about Sabrina's rejection. On the contrary, she seemed to remember something very happy. She hugged her sister Sabrina's arm, pressed her face tightly against Sabrina's shoulder, and her sweet laughter could be heard from far away.

……

In a room in the ship's tower, Claire had already composed the complete piece "Yearning Across Time and Space". He sat in front of an organ and played this beautiful melody fluently.

The entire magic airship was immersed in a sad melody.

A faint sense of longing runs through the entire piece of music. Claire has unspeakable thoughts in her heart. What on earth did Roy go through to be able to write such a sad melody?

When she was young, Claire believed what Roy said, that every beautiful melody he sang came from nature.

But this song is different. In addition to the melody of nature, it must also contain some of Roy's emotions.

Claire opened his eyes as his fingertips rested on the piano keys, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

Roy stood by the window of the captain's room and said loudly to the room where Claire was:

"Claire, this piece of music is very well written. You can write such a beautiful piece of music just by humming a few lines. You are worthy of being the youngest musician in Castletown..."

"Ouch... Roy, stop it!"

Claire was so pleased with Roy's compliment that it made her smile. Come to think of it, he was indeed the most famous musician in Castletown now...

"The scenery here is beautiful, Claire, you have to appreciate it..."

Roy threw down these words, walked down the stairs to the deck, and said to Moira who was talking quietly with Sabrina:
"Moira, the fleet needs to rest in the fjord for a day, let's go hiking!" Roy pointed to some steep mountains on the shore and invited Moira.

There are some dense bushes growing on the lower part of the mountain, and some soft green grass and purple ridges on the upper part. There are not many exposed rocks.

"OK……"

Moira happily accepted the invitation and skipped over to Roy.

She wanted her sister Sabrina to go with her, but Sabrina declined because her Griffin Riders had a patrol mission coming up.

She wanted to go with Miss Tiffany, but Miss Tiffany rolled her eyes, pointed to the calm sea, and questioned Moira in an exaggerated tone:

"Moira, are you sure you want to invite a Naga Sea Clan member to accompany you to climb a barren mountain that doesn't even have a trail?"

"If you don't want to go, forget it..."

After saying that, Moira ran off the magic airship.

At this time, there were already teams of half-elf warriors on the shore preparing to move the tents back to the ship.

After the sea storm subsided, the crew checked the damage to the ship. The mine guards rested here for a day. If there was no major problem with the magic airship, the fleet would sail out of the fjord tomorrow and continue northwest along the coastline.

……

Leah, who possesses a dark aura, was noticed by Deputy Captain Tennyson. She successfully joined the Assassin Corps and has been carrying out missions with the Dark Moon Elves every day these days.

It is said that Miss Moira was brought up by Deputy Captain Tennyson himself.

So Leah has been very diligent recently. She has always wanted to prove herself, and now she is halfway successful.

Without Leah's company, Alice stayed in her room every day and rarely walked around on the ship.

Only when she was really bored would she stand in the cabin corridor below the deck for a while. The three-masted sailing ship built by the gray dwarf bandits was two floors below the deck, with a breathable corridor at the stern of the hull. Usually, there would always be some half-elf guards gathering here to chat.

Alice would stand in the stern corridor for a while when no one was around.

She was leaning on the railing to enjoy the sea breeze when she heard two half-elf guards walking and talking:

"...I don't know what happened. Ever since I left the holy water pool at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp, the Holy Light Power in my body has been stagnant and has never grown. I heard from Boss Roy that accumulating Holy Light Power is a very slow process, but this is too slow."

"Don't be impatient. Every elf has a different understanding of the Holy Light. Take it slow..." a half-elf companion comforted.

When Alice heard that they were talking about the power of holy light, she did not leave immediately.

She stood in the corner of the stern corridor, leaning her arms on the railing, staring at the beach in the distance...

"Hey...it really seems to be working. The power of Holy Light can finally be restored! It seems that our efforts have not been in vain."

At this time, a half-elf guard warrior said in surprise.

The other half-elf guard paused for a moment and exclaimed, "It's true. I can also feel the power of holy light flowing through my body."

"It seems... our efforts have finally paid off, right..."

The two half-elf guards seemed very happy. They stood in the corridor at the stern, clasped their hands together and began to chant a prayer...

It was not until this time that Alia discovered one thing...

She could clearly sense the extremely active holy light particles around her, and her perception range was very wide. The distribution of holy light particles within a five-meter radius around her formed a clear picture in her mind like a star map. Her body was like the center of the star map, with a large number of holy light particles rotating around her body.

There is a huge vortex of mana around her body, which absorbs a large amount of holy light particles around her...

Alice finally realized that the two half-elf guard warriors were able to quickly absorb the holy light particles because of her existence.

Alice suddenly realized that her situation seemed a little different from Roy's...

Many half-elf guards in the fleet have also learned simple divine arts. Not only can they cast the simplest low-light illumination spell, some of them can even barely cast holy light spells.

It's just that every time I cast the Holy Light spell, it takes a long time to recover the consumed Holy Light...

Although Alice didn't understand what was going on, since everyone could quickly restore the power of holy light by gathering together, she planned to come to the stern corridor and stand for a while often.

……

Roy and Moira didn't know that just as they stepped off the magic airship, a mermaid emerged from the dense seaweed on the bottom of the magic airship. She looked very young, with three small openings on the base of her ears with light scales on both sides. She could breathe in the sea with her gills...

The Janna mermaid has a human body and a fish tail, while this young siren has a tail like a sea snake in the lower body.

Her eyes were covered with a thin layer of white mist, which made her look more mysterious.

She hid carefully in the seaweed just to eavesdrop on the beautiful melody on the ship. She wanted to hear it more clearly, so she took the risk of hiding her body in the seaweed.

She smelled like kelp all over...

The siren casually turned over in the sea, and the piano music on the boat disappeared completely, so she should have gone home.

The figures of Roy and Moira flashed across her sight, and the young banshee rolled in the sea and immediately followed.

Originally she wanted to go back along the fjord channel, but now she wanted to sneak to the shore for a walk.

Leaving the sea is a very dangerous thing for the mermaid, so she became very careful, swam a long way away from the fleet area, and then drilled into a crevice along the black reef.

When the young mermaid came out of the crack in the rock, she was wearing fish skin clothes, and her lower body had turned into two long legs...

After coming ashore, every step is a test for the young mermaid. She wants to swim in the sea by twisting her waist and hips, so her waist has a very obvious vest line, and her hips appear unusually round and plump. Every twist has a unique beauty.

But now that she had transformed into two long legs, the hip-twisting movement seemed a bit exaggerated and abrupt.

She pressed her body tightly against the rock, her green eyes fixed on Roy and Moira, watching them climb up the steep mountain wall...

The young banshee realized that the situation was not good, because the fjord across the mountains was their temporary refuge, and the young banshee knew that the refuge must not be discovered by the elven army.

She felt more uneasy, gritted her teeth, and went into the dense bushes.

She was not very good at running, but it was not difficult for her to sneak around in the bushes.

When the naval battle broke out this time, the commander-in-chief asked these young female sirens to take their young sirens to hide in the northern fjord, hoping that the sirens could continue the fire of life.

She hid in the bushes, her body covered with small cuts from sharp branches and thorns, but she was unaware and looked at Moira climbing the rock wall.

The half-blooded female elf was as agile as a mountain goat on the steep rock wall, and with just a few jumps she could find herself on a platform to rest.

Because the storm had just stopped, the bushes were blown all over the place by the raging wind. Except for some waterfalls and streams, the rock walls were wet everywhere, and the places where moss and young grass grew were very slippery.

The mermaid looked at the two young elves climbing up, and couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart...

……

Every time Moira climbed up a certain distance, she would wait for Roy. When they encountered a place that was difficult to climb, Moira would reach out and pull Roy. Soon the two of them passed through an area covered with bushes. Going further up, the vegetation above was needle grass and purple moss, and the way up the mountain became more slippery.

Seeing that Moira was very happy, Roy followed closely behind...

The two of them climbed up in perfect harmony, and Roy could clearly feel the happiness in Moira's eyes.

Ever since Moira confessed her feelings to him, the time they had spent alone together was actually very limited, and Moira was an introverted, thoughtful, half-elf girl.

Elves love romance and enjoy life. They are bolder in dealing with feelings than humans, and Moira is no exception.

Seeing Moira holding onto the crevice with one hand and extending her other hand, Roy quickly grabbed Moira's wrist, then used Moira's strength to pull upwards and jumped directly onto a raised platform.

The two squeezed on the narrow platform and rested for a while.

Looking out to the fjord from here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire winding fjord...

“It’s so beautiful here!”

Moira leaned on Roy's shoulder and said happily.

Roy took out a kettle from his magic waist bag, which contained some diluted sap of the tree of life. He handed the kettle to Moira, who pulled out the cork, took a small sip, and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

Roy looked up. Beyond this rock wall, there were steeper grass slopes. These grass slopes became easier to climb...

"Come on, let's go to the top of the mountain in one breath and see what beautiful scenery there is." Roy said to Moira.

In fact, the Griffin Riders had already explored this area. Roy knew that there was another fjord next to this fjord. This kind of landform where mountains and sea meet is not common in other places...

The peak of the mountain was not very high. The two climbed over the steep rock wall and used their hands and feet to reach the top of the mountain along the grass slope in one breath.

……

The young mermaid came to the edge of the bushes halfway up the mountain and was completely stunned when she saw the almost vertical rock walls...

Unless she was given a pair of wings, she would not be able to jump over this cliff.

She looked up and saw that the two young elves had also climbed to the top of the mountain. She could not catch up with them no matter what.

So she began to observe the way down the mountain, and when she saw the countless tiny wounds on her body caused by the thorns, she felt like crying but had no tears...
