Path of Light.

Chapter 910. The Last Song

Miss Tiffany, Miss Nania and Miss Abisenfan, three Naga mermaids, were crowded among a group of half-elves. They transformed into half-elves and were extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

However, the half-blood elves surrounding the courtroom at this time were all paying attention to when Boss Roy would be released.

Everyone outside was discussing it. It was clearly Boss Roy who exposed those hateful Empire merchants, so why did the Silver Moon Elf guards of the Tribunal ignore the facts and arrest Boss Roy instead...

This kind of unfair treatment will never happen to the Silver Moon Elves.

Some half-elves in the crowd could no longer suppress their anger. They kept protesting loudly to the Inquisition and even began to rush towards the door of the Inquisition.

The entrance to the Inquisition was already filled with Silver Moon Elf guards holding Iris Shields. They formed a shield wall to deal with the impact of the half-blood elf people.

"How did it get to this point?"

Looking at the extremely angry half-elves around her, Miss Abisenfan seemed a little at a loss.

She wanted to step back, but the half-elf behind her kept pushing her forward. In order to avoid getting separated, the three mermaids clasped their arms tightly together.

As a half-blood elf shouted loudly:

"Boss Roy is out..."

The commotion suddenly stopped, and then the half-blood elves began to look for Roy in front of the Inquisition excitedly.

In fact, Roy's appearance was very easy to recognize. After all, there weren't many half-elves and imperials in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and he looked a lot like an imperial...

"Look over there, Roy and the others are coming out, should we squeeze over and join him?"

Miss Abisenfan said excitedly among the group of elves.

"Don't think about it, let's try to retreat as far as possible, leave here first, and then find a way to find them!"

Miss Tiffany even elbowed a half-blood elf next to her. He was actually taking advantage of everyone in such a chaotic scene...

The half-elf only felt a nudge in the shoulder by the elbow of a beautiful half-elf woman. He didn't pay much attention to it at first. But when he found his shoulder itchy, he discovered a bloody hole on his shoulder. Blood was flowing out of the wound, mixed with black and purple blood clots.

The half-elf wanted to catch Miss Tiffany, but unfortunately Miss Tiffany had already squeezed far away.

Miss Nania and Miss Abisenfan were stunned. They had never thought that Miss Tiffany could do such a barbaric thing...

"Don't be polite to those half-blood elves who want to take advantage of you. The more you tolerate them, the more they will pester you. If you beat them up, they won't dare to say a word. There is no shortage of such bullies no matter where you are."

Miss Tiffany fought her way out of the crowded crowd and successfully squeezed out, then stood beside the flower bed and explained to Nanya and Abisenfan.

"Will Roy be able to find us?"

"Of course. The place we originally agreed to meet is not too far ahead. Let's go there and wait for him."

……

The Silvermoon Elf guards helped Claire clear a passage, and Roy and Moira followed Claire into the silver carriage.

Only after sitting in the carriage did Claire breathe a sigh of relief.

The silver carriage started slowly, and the surrounding half-blood elves gathered around the carriage and moved along with it.

Roy's face was pressed against the glass window, looking outside, and he kept waving at the half-elves who were looking at him.

Everyone followed the silver carriage for a while, and finally stopped panting...

"Why don't you go out and tell them about the recent evil deeds committed by those Imperial merchants?"

Moira moved over, lay down behind Roy, and looked out the window with him.

Roy held Moira's cold little hand and responded with a smile:

"What else do you need to say? You already know what you need to know. There is no need for me to say it again..."

Then Roy looked at Claire who was sitting opposite him and said:
"Thank you for being so busy and running around for my affairs."

Claire put down the sheet music in her hand and asked Roy, "If I don't come, how are you going to deal with this?"

Roy scratched his head. In fact, he didn't think too much about it. He just felt that the imperial merchants dared to so blatantly deceive the half-elves in Castletown Harbor, which was a provocation to the elven laws and also a test of the bottom line of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

At that time, he just wanted to teach the imperial merchants a lesson, and then use moral blackmail to these Silver Moon Elf guards.

Unfortunately, something unexpected happened during this process. The Silver Moon Elf nobles actually attacked him first...

If Claire hadn't arrived in time, Roy might have really planned for the worst.

Roy said without hesitation:
"Of course we should make the matter bigger first. This kind of thing requires more half-blood elves to know the inside story, so as to avoid being deceived in the future."

"As for me, they can't lock me up. I can leave at any time..."

Roy was full of confidence when he said this.

The carriage left the courtroom and the streets became less congested. The three silver carriages following behind also left silently.

Claire asked Roy:

"Where shall we go next?"

At this time, a carriage came up from behind and drove parallel to Clare's silver carriage on the street. The old butler's face leaned out of the window and shouted to Clare:
"Master, you have a performance tonight. If you don't hurry over now, it will be too late!"

Claire also reached out to open the car window, and then responded by leaning against the window:
"I know, I'll go."

Claire seemed a little impatient...

Roy patted his forehead, as if he remembered something, and said to Claire:

"Why don't we go see your performance tonight? You've held so many concerts in Castletown, but I've never really listened to any of them."

Claire didn't expect that Roy was still thinking about going to her concert at this time.

Naturally, he was deeply moved for a moment, and he said with some joy:

"Well, let's go to the opera now."

He was about to inform the coachman, but was stopped by Roy:

"Wait, before that, we have to go to a place to pick up three friends. They have admired the Silver Moon Elves' concert for a long time. I promised them that I would take them to listen to a real concert in Castletown."

Claire heard that 'they' referred to several women. He looked at Moira puzzledly but did not ask for details.

"...You actually agreed to something like this?"

Claire couldn't believe it.

"Yes!"

Roy just agreed casually, he didn't explain anything...

Moira next to her didn't seem to mind at all.

The carriage followed the road Roy pointed and began to accelerate.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened. The lower part of Castletown was lit up, but in the upper part of the city, only a few dim street lamps were lit on both sides of the street...

"How is it going? Have you created any new music recently?" Roy asked Claire.

Claire said a little embarrassedly:
"I have created some, but they are not very mature at the moment. But have you... listened to the sounds of nature recently?"

"I haven't heard that kind of sound for a long time!" Roy responded. Just when Claire looked disappointed,
Roy opened the car window, leaned his head out and looked at the moon in the night sky.

A beam of moonlight just happened to fall on his face...

Looking at the bright moon hanging in the night sky outside the car window, the song suddenly appeared in Roy's mind.

He hummed the sad and sorrowful ballad softly, as if he was expressing his farewell.

After listening to Roy's humming, Claire was silent for a while before asking:

"What's the name of this sad song?"

"Farewell night."

Roy said the name of the song, then he paused and said:
"Claire, it may be difficult for me to come back after leaving this time. The Silver Moon Elf nobles are too hostile to me. I originally wanted to establish a trade route from Que Island to Castletown Port when I came back this time, but now, maybe I am too idealistic. This trade route is simply not feasible. I may have to look for other trade routes."

There was some disappointment in Roy's eyes that was hard to conceal.

Claire pressed, "Where are you going to find it?"

"Next... I want to go to Saint Magli Port in the Evernight Forest to take a look."

Roy thought of Xavier in the Evernight Forest. He hadn't written to Xavier for a long time.

However, this time his fleet would have to take a short rest in Port St. Margaret before entering the west coast of the Mensa Plain, so Roy planned to take a trip to Port St. Margaret.

Claire couldn't help with this.

He fished a quill from his pocket, licked the tip of the pen with his tongue, and began to write a series of notes rapidly in his notebook.

While he was writing furiously at his desk, Roy sat quietly beside him, occasionally humming a few lines...

Only after Claire successfully memorized the entire song did he look up and ask Roy:
“Is this piece called Farewell Night?”

"Ok!"

Roy looked at the sofa and agreed casually.

……

Nanya, Abisenfan and Miss Tiffany arrived at the meeting point breathlessly. Before they sat down by the fountain, they saw a silver carriage stopped by the roadside.

Then the car door opened and Roy walked out.

The silver carriage was too small and could only carry four elves.

Claire was changing the music in the carriage and he needed a quiet space, so Roy took Moira and Leah out of the silver carriage.

Miss Abisenfan was the first to step forward and asked Roy who was walking across the street:

"Roy, are you okay?"

Roy looked at the three Naga mermaid ladies who had transformed into half-elves and asked, "Do you all know about this?"

Tiffany took the initiative to say: "We just came from the court..."

Roy nodded, then said to the three people: "Nothing to do for now! Come on, while I can still move freely in Castletown, I will fulfill my promise to you and listen to a concert first..."

After saying that, Roy reached out and stopped an empty carriage on the street, and the coachman opened the door for everyone attentively.

……

Castletown's Opera House is located in the Magic Quarter, diagonally opposite the City Library.

Various performances are often held here. Any musician or performer who is slightly famous in Castletown will perform in this opera house.

Claire is also performing at the opera house tonight, and although he hasn't had many works recently, that doesn't mean his music is unpopular.

In the concert hall,

Claire was wearing a gorgeous dress and sitting in front of the organ. He closed his eyes and was brewing his emotions...

The Silver Moon Elves are already in position.

Roy and his group sat in Claire's private box, with the lobby of the concert hall just below their feet.

Roy held the terrace railing with both hands and looked down at Claire standing on the stage.

Clare stood up from the organ,
He first walked to the edge of the stage and bowed to the audience in all directions, then returned to his seat without saying a word.

He did not sit in front of the organ, but took out the panpipe and played the song of the condor. The whole concert hall seemed to have turned into a high cliff, and a mountain eagle was circling over the concert hall...

Claire then played Blue River Dane, a song of longing that transcends time and space.

Normally, Claire would play five songs in a row before stopping.

But this time he played only three pieces and then stopped.

The Silver Moon Elves in the concert hall began to talk among themselves.

Claire came to the front of the stage and said to the Silver Moon Elves in the audience:

“My best friend is leaving Castletown tonight and I’m feeling a little down.”

"He wrote me a song to comfort me."

"He told me that he didn't belong to the Silver Moon Elves. Now he is going to a truly free country. Although we are all filled with reluctance, this is life..."

Then Claire sat back in front of the organ, and the melodious and sad music echoed in the concert hall.

The entire concert hall immediately fell silent...

Although the song was not played very skillfully, the sad melody of farewell struck deeply into the hearts of every Silvermoon Elf.

The song ended quickly...

The Silver Moon Elves stood up one after another, and the applause drowned out all the sounds in the concert hall.

Everyone discovered that Claire, a musician who hadn't written any new works for a long time, had actually written a new song...

Claire didn't say much. He walked out from his seat, bowed deeply to the Silver Moon Elves in the concert hall, then turned around and left with his head lowered.

No matter how the Silver Moon Elves called her, Claire did not look back.

……

Brown Street, the first thing Roy did when he returned home was to take the sixteen sculptures from Belinda's studio with him.

The Silver Moon Elf musician Claire has always been by Roy's side. He has the most perfect face of a Silver Moon Elf. Although a little feminine, this aura is very consistent with the temperament of a musician, which makes Miss Abisenfan extremely fascinated at first sight.

Unfortunately, Claire was very cold towards Miss Abisonfan. Miss Abisonfan took the initiative to talk to her three times, but Claire just greeted her politely.

On the magic airship in Castletown Harbor,

In the quiet night, Roy stood at the bow and waved to Claire.

Finally it disappeared into the dark sea.
