Path of light

Chapter 268 269. The Earl’s Request

"I heard from Christine that you captured the human magician in Padstow City?" Earl Swinburne asked.

Speaking of this, Roy felt a little indignant.

He said angrily:

"Originally, we handed him and a local slave trader from Padstow to the city guards the night before. Who would have thought that Benjamin would be released without charge by the group of elf guards the next day, and the local slave trader Slave traders turned into orchards and farmers, but we members of the adventure group were regarded as murderers of indiscriminate killing of fruit farmers by the guys in the guard team."

Earl Swinburne and Countess looked at each other, waved their hands and said:

"If Christine hadn't told us this personally, I might never have believed that the elf guards of the Padstow Guards would actually collude with slave traders."

"On one side are the elf guards who maintain local law and order, and on the other side are the mixed-blood elves. However, these two parties can collude together to sell mixed-blood elf slaves..."

"...So this time I heard that Christine mentioned that you were coming to the dance, and I really want to meet you."

Lord Swinburne continued:

"I want to find the two guys who captured Christine, but those elf warriors don't know Benjamin Magician and Abt, so I want to ask you for help. You don't need to do anything else, just sift through Just identify them during the investigation."

Roy, Sabrina and Woods made eye contact.

There are currently classes at the Elf Academy, and wilderness survival training will be held early next month.

Roy said hesitantly: "The college will have one month of wilderness survival training soon. If you fail this course, you may lose several courses this semester."

Earl Swinburne made a reassuring gesture, and then said to Roy:

"I have applied to the college and it will be approved soon. Then you can go to Padstow City. In addition, there is no need to worry about safety."

After hearing what Earl Swinburne said, Roy and Woods immediately said:

"I am at your service, Lord Swinburne."

Earl Swinburne nodded with satisfaction:

"Then I wish you a happy night."

Afterwards, everyone talked about other topics, and the Earl and Countess Swinburne left after saying a few words.

Christine said angrily: "Roy, Woods, if you two don't want to go to Padstow City, I can go and tell him. In fact, you two don't have to listen to him..."

"Then we'll think about it again and give you an answer tomorrow."

Roy and Woods looked at each other and said.

…

Almost all the guests at the open-air dance in the evening were dressed up. Fortunately, magic pattern costumes could be worn at this kind of dance.

Roy wore a magic pattern outfit, while Sabrina and Woods wore more ordinary clothes.

Christine took the three of them and introduced her to her Silver Moon Elf friends.

In fact, Roy could see the perfunctory look in the eyes of Christine's friends. If it weren't for Christine's presence, they wouldn't even bother to look at them. In front of Christine, they behaved politely... But the smiles on each of their faces were so fake. stiff.

However, there are also some curious Silver Moon elves who will come up and chat with Roy.

Basically they are testing each other...

Roy is not well-known in the Elf Academy, but his best friend Claire is a popular figure in the academy and is known as the youngest and most talented musician.

Some Elf Academy students had seen Roy and ran over to say hello to him.

Roy didn't expect that at this dance, there would be two senior sisters from the Elf Academy, Shirley and Martina...

No matter where the dance is, these Silver Moon Elf beauties will not be rejected, especially those who are wearing the coat of Elf Academy.

Wearing bold dance dresses and even a little makeup on their faces, they looked like they were totally getting into the ballroom atmosphere.

"Why are you here too?" After Roy saw them, he walked over and greeted them.

Shirley and Martina also asked in surprise:

"This is exactly what we want to ask you, and where is Wagner Claire? Why didn't we see him!"

Roy quickly explained: "I was invited by Miss Christine, Claire didn't come."

"You actually know Miss Christine Swinburne?" Shirley asked in surprise.

Then Shirley and Martina looked at each other...

They both want each other to help cover...

Roy said: "We are in the same adventure group."

Shirley was a little surprised how Roy was always so lucky. His friends were all the best Silver Moon elves...Wagner Claire, Edith Ellington, and now Christine St. Wimborne.

Shirley stretched out her white little hand and asked Roy, "Aren't you going to ask me to dance?"

After hearing what the other party said, Roy couldn't refuse...

Roy made an invitation gesture, then held Shirley's little hand and walked into the dance floor and stood in the queue on the dance floor.

As the music played, the two chatted quietly and danced.

Everyone moves in unison and looks very lively.

Every time the two of them got close and passed each other, Shirley would gently rub Roy's shoulder with her shoulder, which not only gave Roy some hints, but also brought some sense of oppression.

She occasionally deliberately touched Roy's knee with her leg...

After finally finishing the dance, Roy returned Shirley to her original position and politely left...

To be honest, he didn't like this silver moon elf who looked like the best green tea.

After the dance, the three of them stayed at Matie Manor for one night.

The next morning, Roy asked the housekeeper for a carriage and prepared to leave the manor in the morning so that he could return to the Temple of Liberty in Castletown at noon and make up for half a day's work at the Temple of Liberty.

The carriage soon stopped at the gate of the manor.

Miss Christine heard that they were leaving the manor in the morning and immediately chased them out.

Miss Christine stood in front of the carriage and said again breathlessly:

"I didn't expect that he would invite you to Padstow City. If you don't want to go and refuse in person, I'll go and tell him."

Seeing Miss Christine's extremely serious look, Roy waved his hand quickly:

"No, I want to go."

Woods on the side also said quickly:

"I want to go too."

"Same here." Sabrina finally said.

Although it was unclear why Roy and Woods wanted to go to Padstow City, Miss Christine still agreed...

Roy and Woods were the first to board the carriage, and Kristen and Sabrina hugged before also boarding the carriage.

Roy wanted to go to Padstow City this time just to catch Benjamin and Abt.

Woods wanted to return to Padstow City this time, just to look for the elders who had separated from him.
