Path of Light.

Chapter 99 100. The Night of the Castle
"Roy, what's your idea?"

Claire immediately became interested and asked quickly.

Roy smiled and said: "I think you can carve a bust of Earl Amelia according to the portrait on the fourth floor, and other places can be made rougher, but the face must be clear and the features of the face must be as clear as possible. It may be enlarged, yes, it belongs to the characteristics of Earl Amelia."

The two were worried that speaking too loudly would disturb the rest of the expedition team members, so they lowered their voices as much as possible.

Claire's eyes lit up, and he said: "This idea is not bad. I thought about carving a Malagasy monitor lizard before. Your idea is more reliable than mine. Thinking about the scales of the monitor lizard, I almost want to carve it." Crash, I can't sleep now, why don't we go to see the portrait of Earl Amelia?"

Roy looked around and saw the silence, except for the sound of insects in the woods, and asked, "Now?"

"That's right! There can be fewer people now." Claire said.

Roy tugged at the clothes on his body and shrank into the tent:

"Stop making trouble, we are going to climb to the fourth floor of the castle at this time? I think we should wait until tomorrow morning!"

Roy didn't want to go, and Claire couldn't force it.

Claire didn't want to whisper in front of the tent, so she pulled Roy and said, "Roy, I heard that the scenery in the back garden of the castle is very good. We didn't have time to see it during the day, or we can go to the back garden for a stroll. ?”

"It's so dark, how can we go..."

Roy looked at the darkness around him and didn't want to go out at all.

Claire said, "Can't you use a twilight to illuminate us? Under the snowy moonlight, the garden of Ellington Castle is extremely beautiful. You really don't understand the romance of elves."

Roy also felt that it was not good to reject Claire's suggestion several times in a row, so he agreed, "Okay."

Afterwards, he dressed carefully, and then he and Claire walked along the path by the wall to the back garden.

Roy released a cloud of divine twilight, which radiated a soft light above the heads of the two, and immediately dispelled the chill of the night.

In the night sky, the silver moon is like a hook.

The cold moonlight gives Ellington Castle a hazy beauty.

Some dilapidated buildings are hidden in the shadows, reflecting the quiet beauty of the old castle.

Under the illumination of a glimmer of sacred light, Roy took the lead in climbing to the high platform of the bread tree. The terrain here is much higher than other places, and it is covered by the high wall of the castle, so it is absolutely secret.

Edith said that this breadfruit tree is almost [-] years old, and it is considered the longest-lived tree in Ellington Castle. Originally, there was a tree of life in the back garden of the castle, but for some reason, Ami Not long after Earl Leah died, the tree of life also withered and died, which was almost the biggest loss of Ellington Castle.

The two climbed up to the high platform, and they were not in a hurry to go to the garden behind the castle.

Because Roy found that the stairs under the high wall had broken places, and from this high platform, he could just have a bird's-eye view of the back garden.

Under the moonlit night, the back garden covered by weeds is still lush and lush. Many trees are lush with branches and leaves, and the low walls of shrubs and weeds are integrated into one.

Claire sat under the breadfruit tree, put the stone between her legs from the magic pocket, then took out a carving knife, and began to carve...

Although Roy is not very good at hands-on, Ms. Belinda is a little-known sculptor, and this kind of stone is placed most in her studio. Seeing Claire start to repair the stone, Roy put the sacred shimmer Move closer so that Claire can see better.

By the way, I also picked a breadfruit from the tree and prepared to put it in my satchel for later eating.

The day after tomorrow, the two will leave Ellington Castle and enter the depths of the Malaga jungle. Roy believes that there will be no danger in the Malaga jungle, but there will be no rich resources. The two are likely to meet along the way. You can only eat some sour berries. Instead of that, you might as well bring a few breadfruit. This thing has a good taste and a sense of satiety.

The divine twilight floated above Claire's head, and Roy sat quietly opposite Claire...

Claire's sculpting technique is very rusty, which makes Roy always want to complain.

Just when Roy put the breadfruit in the bag and looked up at Claire, at some point, there was a dead soul standing behind Claire, her face showed the majesty of a superior, her gaze It just happened to land on the rock in Claire's hand.

At this moment, Roy felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end.

Because that face looked exactly like Earl Amelia's, and at the moment when Roy's expression was a little strange, she looked up at Roy...

In her eye sockets, there are two dark blue soul fires, but those two soul fires are condensed like the eyes of elves. If it weren't for the occasional jump of the soul fire, Roy would not be so easy recognize it.

Her body outline is so clear, she is wearing Mithril battle armor, and there are two long swords hanging around her waist. She stared at Roy and asked faintly:

"Can you see me?"

Roy did not dare to act rashly due to the powerful coercion exuded by the strong man, so he nodded honestly.

Earl Amelia saw Roy's human face, his eyes immediately became extremely messy, the fire of soul in his eyes soared, he drew out the storm sword from his waist and flashed in front of Roy in an instant, and asked viciously: "You Is it human?"

Claire turned pale with fright at the sudden voice behind him. When he turned his head suddenly, he saw the ghost of Earl Amelia, and he was even more speechless.

But when Earl Amelia's soul flashed in front of Roy, two storm swords were placed on Roy's neck.

A strong coercion made the two of them unable to move...

"He is a half-elf, and his mother is a pure-blood silver moon elf, and now he lives with his mother..."

Claire said all the information about Roy in one go.

"Half-elf?"

Earl Amelia's ghost calmed down after hearing Claire's explanation, and the fire of soul in his eyes turned into dark blue pupils again.

She leaned close to Roy and sniffed, her sharp eyes softened.

"Why can you see me?" Earl Amelia's dead soul asked Roy.

Roy quickly explained: "I am a trainee priest, and you will appear under the holy light."

The dead soul of Earl Amelia in front of me is not the ghost in the execution chamber of the Black Pearl. With the power she displayed, killing Roy and Claire is as easy as crushing ants.

Seeing Roy and Claire standing obediently under the bread tree, Earl Amelia retreated to the edge of the bread tree, and a stern voice came:

"Okay, I get it, don't tell me that you saw me, you don't want to cause trouble, right?"

Roy and Claire quickly said at the same time:

"We'll keep it a secret."

Count Amelia turned around and disappeared, leaving only a half-dead bread tree on the platform.

At this time, Roy and Claire were not in the mood to carve under the bread tree. They hurried down from the high platform and slipped back into the tent of the arsenal.

The soul of Earl Amelia remains at Ellington Castle.

While shocking the two of them, they couldn't believe it...

After the elves die, some of the elves will enter the kingdom of God under the guidance of the moon goddess Elune and become followers of the moon goddess. Of course, more elves will become soul-shaped elves wandering in the forest, or the spring of life nearby waiting for reincarnation.

Earl Amelia belonged to the elven nobles and had made great military exploits during her lifetime. It stands to reason that the Moonlight Goddess should give Moonlight the first time after her death and let her become a member of the Moonlight Legion.

But now, what Roy and Claire saw was that Earl Amelia was still in the ruins of Ellington Castle.

She neither became a follower of the Moon Goddess, nor was she reincarnated as an elf who forgot all her memories. The so-called elf is the soul consciousness of a group of elves.

The two didn't dare to discuss it. After all, they were still in Ellington Castle. Maybe that Earl Amelia was secretly following them...

……

In the early morning of the next day, a few elf girls picked some black berries from the bushes in the back garden of the castle. Although they were not very tasty, they could add some flavor to the breadfruit after squeezing them into juice and pouring them on the breadfruit flavor.

They gathered around the dining table set up in the armory and had a decent breakfast.

Before dark last night, several investigation groups came to Ellington Castle, and they were all freshmen from the Elf Academy.

So many elf students gathered in the castle, making the castle noisy.

After breakfast, Edith proposed to pay homage to Earl Amelia's tombstone.

As the granddaughter of Earl Amelia, since she came to Ellington Castle, there is no reason not to visit her grandmother buried here.

An elf girl asked curiously: "Is Earl Amelia buried in the castle?"

Edith explained: "Well, this is the wish of my grandmother before she died. Her graveyard is on the high platform behind..."

After speaking, her hand pointed to the location of the bread tree.

Roy and Claire looked at each other speechlessly.

If Edith had mentioned this matter yesterday, the two of them would not have gone to talk under the bread tree rashly last night no matter what!

Under the bread tree, Edith offered a bouquet of flowers.

There were no tombstones, nameplates, or cypress trees, only a huge half-dead bread tree, and in the breeze, the sparse leaves on the top of the tree swayed gently, as if welcoming Edith's arrival.

The expedition team moved around in the castle all day.

With Edith's introduction, it is easy for everyone to figure out that such a large castle actually has different functions for many buildings...

After two days of contact, Roy found that Edith was a very qualified captain. Her shrewdness, determination, bravery, and fairness earned her a high reputation in the expedition team. Elf girls are very convinced of her.
