Path of Light.

Chapter 96. 97. Expedition Team

Roy bought a bottle of herbal ointment from the pharmacy, opened the door and walked into the living room.

Saw Ms. Belinda sitting in the living room.

She held a magic belt in her hand, and a magic weave bag was sewn on the belt.

The cloth bag is about the size of a palm, and there is a buckle on the front, so that the hand can quickly reach into the cloth bag.

Roy knew that this was Ms. Belinda's magic pocket. Her pocket usually stored some personal items, carving knives and stones.

"Roy, you are going to participate in the outdoor practice class of the academy, it would be more convenient to bring a magic pocket!"

After speaking, Ms. Belinda planned to tie the fanny pack around Roy's waist.

Roy took half a step back and did not accept the gift from Ms. Belinda. He turned and pointed to the canvas satchel hanging on the wall, and said to Ms. Belinda:
"I've got my satchel all ready, and I'll bring my tent and pan at home..."

With that said, Roy took off the satchel on the wall and carried it on his back, and then took out the bundled tent bag and carried it on his back.

Even the frying pan was hung on his lower back, which made him look like a traveler.

Ms. Belinda squinted at Roy, who was dressed as a traveler, with an indescribable sadness in her heart...

"I'm going to participate in outdoor survival exercises this time, not a picnic, and I have to carry a picnic basket with me."

"If I wear a magic pocket, even though I can carry more luggage and tools, it will also reduce the difficulty of outdoor exercise. Belinda, I want to experience a different world outside. Believe me, I can Take good care of yourself."

Roy put the grass ointment into the satchel while talking.

……

The first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, and Roy got up early to pack his luggage.

When he walked out of the yard, Ms. Belinda stood at the gate of the yard, watching him quietly walking along Brown Street to the street corner.

Roy was carrying a satchel across his shoulders, a tent bag and pots behind him, and an ordinary dagger pinned to his belt.

After waiting at the intersection for a while, a long carriage arrived, and the carriage pulled Roy to the gate of the Elf Academy. There were two rows of long carriages parked on the street at the entrance of the college, and each carriage had no carriages. Passengers and coachmen are all gathered together, communicating in low voices.

This event is specially prepared by the Elf Academy for newly admitted students, completing a one-month outdoor experience in the Malaga jungle.

When Roy rushed to the gate of the academy, he saw Claire squeezed out from the crowd. He was wearing delicate light leather armor, with a long dagger on his waist, a short dagger tied to his leg, and a short combat bow and quiver on his back. , with a magic fanny pack on her waist, probably to adapt to life in the jungle, Claire actually cut her hair short.

"Roy, why are you here so late!" Claire complained as she came over.

Sure enough, the entrance of the college was crowded with freshmen, and a group of freshmen had already boarded the long carriage in a long line.

Once a long carriage is filled, a carriage will leave the Elf Academy.

"Come with me, I saw them..." Roy waved to Claire and said.

The two had previously discussed that they would first go to Ellington Castle for a three-day investigation, and then go to the geography class and complete the field survival of the martial arts training class.

However, there are almost no restrictions on the tasks that Claire needs to complete, and she is relatively free.

Roy took Claire and found the members of the No.16 team in the crowd. The group of silver moon elf girls surrounded Edith and were happily chatting on twitter.

Seeing Roy and Claire, Edith greeted them with a sweet smile.

Seeing Edith, Claire asked in surprise, "Why are you?"

Roy also planned to introduce Claire to them, and when he heard what Claire said, he whispered to him:
"You know them?"

Claire and Roy whispered in a low voice: "Everyone is a silver moon elf nobleman in Castletown, how could they not know each other... It's just that they are not familiar with each other. They usually have their own small group, and it is difficult for outsiders to join... ..."

Edith walked over gracefully, stretched out her thin hands in lace white gloves, and said with a smile to the two:
"Roy, Wagner, welcome to join us!"

Roy and Claire held Edith's three fingertips politely.

In fact, the No.16 group’s trip to Ellington Castle included not only the ten members of the group, but also a few silver moon elf students who joined from outside, both men and women, all of them were elf nobles...

Except for Roy, everyone was wearing light leather armor, and there was no luggage on their bodies. Every elf student was wearing a magic pocket, and each one was more delicate than the other.

Roy and Claire joined in, and the investigation team gathered.

Edith, who was wearing a beige leather armor, walked in the front, followed by an elf girl in the same dress, even at the entrance of the academy, she was extremely eye-catching.

Wherever they passed, the elf students avoided one after another.

Claire and Roy fell at the back of the team. Claire saw that Roy was actually carrying a bag, so she asked in a low voice:

"Roy, why don't you bring a magic pocket, that thing can hold a lot of things, it's very convenient."

Roy couldn't help complaining, "How much does that thing cost?"

Claire replied without thinking: "The most common magic pocket can be bought with only six magic crystals."

Roy spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Well, if this outdoor practice class is held three weeks later, maybe I can afford it..."

Seeing that Roy was wearing a set of linen clothes, Claire couldn't help but said, "Roy, you should wear light leather armor. Light leather armor is not very expensive."

"I took the time to go to the store to have a look. The leather armor suits for me are only leather armor suits made of hard leather and heavy leather. However, I don't think this kind of heavy leather armor will be used in this outdoor practice class, so I didn't buy it either, that thing is too stiff to wear, and it won't be very comfortable to lie on anywhere..." Roy said in a low voice.

Edith found an empty long carriage almost as quickly as possible. The castle inspection team consisted of 16 people.

After everyone boarded the long carriage, there were still four empty seats in the carriage.

Edith just waved her hand impatiently, and the door of the long carriage was closed tightly by the coachman from the outside, and the long carriage followed the convoy all the way west, and quickly left Castletown.

"This time we plan to spend three days to complete the investigation of Ellington Castle..."

Edith stood at the front of the long carriage and said to the members of the investigation team in the carriage.

After the carriage drove out of Castletown, the avenue outside the city was not so smooth, and there was still a winding mountain road outside, so the road was very bumpy.

Fortunately, the scenery along the way is very good. The roadside is full of blue irises, and dark blue berries can be seen in the bushes a little further away.

Rainy season in Castletown.

The hillside is lush and green, and some temporary creeks can be seen everywhere, and some creeks even fall from the stone cliffs by the roadside, forming a small waterfall.

After driving out of the mountains, Roy stuck his head out of the car window, and saw a large highland jungle in front of him.

"In front of us is the Malaga jungle. The long carriage can only take us to the edge of the jungle. We have to walk [-] kilometers south to reach Ellington Castle. Fortunately, although it is the rainy season, But the mountain road to Castle Ellington is not difficult at all."

Edith would occasionally stand up and introduce the surrounding situation to the members of the expedition team in the carriage.

Roy felt that she was very familiar with the Malaga jungle ahead...

The long-drawn carriage came all the way to the edge of the Malaga jungle. There were more than a dozen long-drawn carriages parked on the side of the road, almost all of which were empty.

The castle expedition team Roy belonged to also quickly assembled beside the carriage. Edith didn't even look at the map, and walked two steps along the side of the road wearing long leather boots, glanced at the distant scenery, and pointed To the southeast, say to everyone:
"Ellington Castle is over there. We'll walk from here to there. There's a forest trail there."

After speaking, she took the lead in walking to the jungle over there.

Roy followed at the back of the team, followed the path pointed out by Edith, and immediately took out the map to mark it.

The vegetation on the edge of the Malaga jungle is very dense. If it wasn't for Edith leading the way, it is estimated that this path hidden among the dense forests would be really hard to find...

There are a total of six boys in the inspection team. Roy and Claire are assigned to the second group. Each group must be at the front of the team, chopping down some weeds and vines blocking the way with a knife, and they can also scare away the bushes Poisonous insects, snakes and ants.

Roy couldn't recognize the names of many plants in the jungle.

However, there happened to be an elf girl in the expedition team who studied plants, and she would record the plants she met along the way.

Many tall trees in the jungle are more than [-] meters high, but only as thick as an adult's thigh. These trees are closely connected in the jungle. The straight trunks can hardly see any branches. There are dense leaves on the top of the trees. Roy There are even bunches of berries to be seen.

The forest is full of vines with spikes, and Roy picked a mamba snake from the grass...

The members of the expedition team became nervous and started to pay attention to their feet when walking.

The path was less than two kilometers long, and everyone found a carriage that could pass through the avenue.

Edith led a group of members of the expedition team covered in dew and sap out of the jungle. They rested for a while by the road before continuing to move forward.

It was sweltering and difficult to walk in the jungle, and you could still feel the cool breeze while sitting by the road.

Several elf girls took out a few vermilion fruits from their magic pockets and shared them with everyone. When they handed them to Roy and Claire, they refused while watching them eat while swallowing...

Roy compared the directions marked on the map to make sure that the expedition team did not go in the wrong direction.

The expedition continued along the avenue, and when they passed a small stream, Roy and Claire took two jugs of water...
