Path of light

Chapter 518 519. Between Friends

Claire walked out of the carriage wearing a gorgeous dress.

A group of elves waiting at the entrance of the academy gathered around them. Everyone looked at Claire with admiration. Some elves in the crowd shouted:

"Claire, what's playing tonight?"

Claire still had one foot on the pedal of the carriage, looked at the elves blocking the door of the carriage, and responded with a smile:

"Autumn Whispers, Blue Darne and Eagle Song, you must not pay much attention to me, the music list was drawn up three days ago!"

Immediately, another elf in the crowd asked quickly: "Claire, will there be another concert this year?"

Claire spread her hands and said with some regret: "I am going to travel this holiday to find some creative inspiration, and I will not hold a concert."

The elf immediately asked: "Do you have any travel plans? Where are you going this time?"

"The beautiful Partington plane!" Claire said without hesitation.

A group of elves had a look in their eyes that said, 'Sure enough, it's like this again'...

"How is Partington so good? You seem to go there every year." An elf took the opportunity to ask.

Claire nodded immediately and said, "Of course, the weather is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, and my best friend is over there."

After a brief chat, Claire's guards also squeezed in from the other side. These Silver Moon Elf guards stood in front of the carriage and shouted to the elves surrounding the carriage:

"Please give way, Claire has to go backstage to make preparations before the performance. Please cooperate."

After saying that, two elf guards holding shields immediately rushed through the crowd and opened a passage.

Claire nodded towards the elves crowded around the carriage and walked into the academy with a smile.

The playground of the academy was crowded with elves who came to attend the dance. The commotion at the entrance of the academy had obviously attracted the attention of many elves. These elves looked towards the entrance of the academy and happened to see Claire walking in surrounded by a group of people. The playground of the Elf Academy.

The sensation caused by Claire was even more violent than that of Miss Edith.

Many elves surrounded Claire. Fortunately, the guards guarding him had rich experience and used their iris shields to block a road that could only accommodate one person. Claire walked quickly in the direction of the bandstand. go.

As long as he walked over quickly, the commotion behind him would soon subside.

Beryl followed Claire and saw the elves swarming in almost overwhelming the human wall of guards. She said with some amusement: "Wagner, couldn't you have come here earlier? It's like breaking through a barrier every time. …”

Claire chuckled, didn't refute, and walked forward quickly.

"Beryl, do you want to go to the Partington plane with me this time?" Claire turned back to her sister Beryl and asked.

Beryl curled her lips and said with great disdain: "Forget it, I'm going to take advantage of the vacation to visit Buenos City. Who will go to such a remote plane with you..."

While talking, Claire had already walked to the backstage of the band stage.

The college organizer here breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Claire arriving on time.

…

This summer's naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands can be said to be one of several major events in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

But few Silver Moon elves paid attention to this naval battle.

The Silver Moon elves don't even know that there was a war on the Queen Egwene Islands this summer...

They like music, painting, poetry, sculpture and other art-related things. The most popular bards and sword poets in the adventure group are the most popular bards and sword poets in the adventure group. What everyone talks about at the dance is which musician has created a new work and which sculptor. In which square a huge sculpture group was created and so on.

Many elves in Castletown know about Claire and his creation of 'Whispers of Autumn', but they don't know how long the Silver Pegasus Legion fought on the Queen Egwene Islands before driving those gray dwarf bandits out of the waters of the Elf Kingdom.

After Roy and Moira danced, they returned to the small group of Sabrina and several of her best friends.

At this time, there happened to be a few mixed-blood elf young people there. They formed a small circle at the edge of the dance floor and were chatting about the latest happenings in Castletown.

A mixed-blood elf young man was talking about going to the opera house to listen to an opera last week. Sabrina and a few of her best friends stood together and listened quietly. The few best friends asked questions with envy on their faces. Situation at the Opera House.

"It would be great if I could attend a performance in the opera house..."

A mixed-blood elf girl said with some envy.

"The Opera House recruits actors every year. You can give it a try when the time comes." Although the mixed-blood elf young man was a little impatient, he patiently suggested: "But before applying, you'd better make some preparations. They need He is an actor with a background in singing and dancing.”

"Actually, I think I'm quite talented in this area..."

After saying that, the mixed-blood elf girl burst into laughter.

"Sabrina, why don't you come with me."

Sabrina rolled her eyes at her best friend, feeling a little speechless that she knew what she was asking: "Well, I don't have such an idea for the time being. After I graduate, I plan to go on a plane experience with the adventure group."

The mixed-blood elf young man immediately interrupted and asked, "Sabrina, you never said the name of the adventure group you joined."

"Zakarum," Sabrina said with care.

"Can you tell us about this adventure group? We are also very interested in the adventure group!" The mixed-blood elf young man took the opportunity to say.

He dragged a few friends over just so he could strike up a conversation with Sabrina and then take the opportunity to dance...

Other elf students who came directly to invite Sabrina to dance failed without exception.

Only he came over and didn't take the initiative to invite Sabrina to dance together. Instead, he found a few topics that everyone was interested in, and everyone chatted for a while.

It wasn't until the mixed-blood elf young man felt that the time was right that he said to Sabrina: "Sabrina, can I invite you to dance? We can also talk about the Zakarum Adventure Group..."

Moira just happened to pull Roy back from the dance floor and was standing next to Sabrina.

Roy ran to the shelf full of drinks and took two glasses of honey liqueur with lemon slices in it. He handed one glass to Moira. Just as he was about to pick up the other glass to try, he saw Sabrina A pair of big clear eyes stared at the sweet wine in Roy's hand.

Roy quickly handed over the wine glass and asked, "This sweet wine is not bad. Do you want to try it too?"

Sabrina took the wine glass casually, then turned around and handed it to her best friend next to her.

She took the opportunity to put her hand on Roy's, and said apologetically to the mixed-blood elf young man who invited her:

"I'm really sorry, someone invited me..."

Then, under the stunned gazes of a group of best friends and mixed-race elf youths, she pulled Roy, who looked surprised, onto the dance floor where the music began to play.

The best friend holding the wine glass shrugged her shoulders at the mixed-blood elf young man and gave him a helpless look.

"Let me tell you, if you can defeat her once in the sword fighting field, you will probably be able to leave an impression on her heart..."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"..."

Seeing Sabrina and the half-elf kid sliding onto the dance floor, several mixed-blood elf youths looked a little embarrassed.

…

Soon the dance party reached its final stage. When a stream of soothing music sounded from the band stage, all the dancing elves on the dance floor stopped, followed by a wave of cheers.

Soon the cheers quieted down, and the faint sound of the piano floated throughout the playground of the Elf Academy.

The entire dance scene instantly turned into an open-air concert scene...

Everyone was listening to the beautiful music of the piano quietly, as if they were standing in the warm sunshine of an autumn afternoon at this moment, and a group of elves were mesmerized by the music.

Only when this happens again will everyone forget their identity. Whether they are mixed-blood elves or silver moon elves, they are all immersed in the ocean of music.

After the three songs were played, the elves at the ball were still immersed in the moving melody.

When Claire appeared in front of the band stage, everyone started to applaud...

Roy, Moira, Sabrina, and Woods stood together.

Although many elves came to the dance, the area where the mixed-blood elf students could move was only so large, so Woods, who had escaped from the mixed-blood elf magician, quickly came over.

"Is he so popular now?" Roy couldn't help but complain.

Woods looked at Roy speechlessly and asked him: "Do you have any misunderstanding about Castletown's youngest musician?"

Seeing a large group of elves crowding in front of the band stage, the four friends did not push any further.

Woods led everyone against the crowd and left the prom playground, came to the gate of the college, pointed to a remote fork in the road outside the gate of the college, and said to Roy:

"Clare's carriage usually stops there and we wait for him there."

…

Claire quickly left the academy, surrounded by a group of elf guards.

Many elves were following Claire, and the scene was very chaotic for a time. However, he had experienced this kind of scene many times. As long as he walked quickly to the carriage, the surroundings would immediately become quiet...

Although she knew that there would be many elf students attending the final dance, Claire didn't realize that there would be such a crowd.

If you don’t rush out of the crowd decisively, once the elves surround you, it will not be easy to rush out...

The guards came to the carriage first and pushed the elf blocking the door away before opening the door.

Claire was wearing a cloak, covering her gorgeous dress. He walked quickly to the front of the carriage, grabbed the handle of the carriage door with one hand, and leaned inside...

"Hey, Claire!"

The extremely familiar voice made Claire stop quickly.

Claire followed the sound and saw Woods being blocked by two guards with shields and huddled together with a large group of elves.

And there was a familiar figure beside him—the human face made him extremely conspicuous among the elves.

"Ha! Why is it you, Roy, when did you come back? Come up quickly!"

Claire quickly ran over, asked the elf guards to get out of the way, and pulled Roy, Woods, Moira and Sabrina into the carriage.

Several friends were sitting in the carriage, and Claire kept complaining that she should have gone to the bandstand to find him during the dance...

At this time, the carriage finally moved.

The streets were crowded with carriages of all kinds, and it was somewhat congested.

Claire poked her head out of the window and ordered the coachman:

"To Castletown Harbor!"

The coachman agreed.

Claire took off her heavy cloak, looked at the elves outside who kept waving to him, and asked Roy with a somewhat proud smile:

"How do you feel? I mean this song..." Roy sat side by side with Claire and Woods, while Sabrina and Moira sat opposite them. "It's good." Roy said. Claire wanted to continue listening with anticipation, but Roy only said this. "Hey! I say... you can't just give me such a simple compliment, right?" Claire asked speechlessly. Roy laughed: "How else do you want me to compliment you?" Seeing that Roy was not prepared to say more, Claire gave up and asked casually: "Tell me, what's the matter with you coming back this time?" "I want to go to the mercenary union to hire a strong man who has the ability to hunt sea beast priests!" Roy took a few berries from the fruit plate, threw them into his mouth, and said lightly. "Puff..." Claire was drinking lemon tea. When she heard Roy say this, she couldn't catch her breath and quickly sprayed the water out of the window. Claire's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief: "Roy, didn't you offend a sea beast priest?"

"That's about it. We met a sea beast priest in the Sun Island Bay, but his situation is also very special. He should have been cursed, which prevented him from leaving the Sun Island. However, there is indeed a powerful sea beast beside him." Roy wanted to explain that this was a dying sea beast priest, but he didn't know what the situation of this sea beast priest was.

Claire waved her hand and said to Roy:

"If I were you, I would go as far as possible and never confront this sea beast priest head-on."

"Actually, I was thinking... Is there any good way to get rid of him completely, such as hiring a second-level strongman in the mercenary union? Speaking of which, the Sun Island Bay is really important to the half-blood elves in the Partington plane..." Roy explained.

Hearing Roy say this, Claire knew that persuasion would be useless, and Roy must do this.

After thinking for a while, she said to Roy:

"I'll find a way, give me two days!"

"Okay!"

The carriage arrived at Brown Street, Roy and his companions got off, and Claire took the carriage back the same way...

At this time, Sabrina asked Roy:

"Did you offend a sea beast priest?"

"He offended us. He occupied the Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane. He not only enslaved the fishmen, but also continued to squeeze the living space of the half-blood elves in the Sun Island Bay. That's why I want to use the mercenaries in the Mercenary Union... to get rid of him."

Roy stood at the intersection and explained to Sabrina.
