100. Night at the Kasbah

"Roy, what do you have a good idea?"

Claire immediately became interested and hurriedly asked.

Roy smiled and said, "I think you can carve a bust of Count Amelia according to the portrait of Count Amelia on the fourth floor, and you can make it rough in other places, but the face must be clear, and the features of the face should be magnified as much as possible, yes, it belongs to the characteristics of Count Amelia." ”

The two were worried that talking too loudly would disturb the rest of the expedition team, so they kept their voices as low as possible.

Claire's eyes lit up and said, "That's a good idea, I've thought about carving a magala jungle monitor lizard before, your idea is a little more reliable than mine, I almost collapse thinking about the scales of the monitor lizard, I can't sleep a little now, or let's go see the portrait of Count Amelia again?." ”

Roy looked around at the silence, only the sound of insects chirping in the woods, and asked, "Now?" ”

"That's right! Now there can be fewer people. Claire said.

Roy tugged at the clothes draped over his body and shrunk back into the tent:

"Don't make a fuss, we're going to climb to the fourth floor of the castle at this time? I think I'd better 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 view of the back garden of the castle is very good, and we didn't have time to go to see it during the day, otherwise we should go to the back garden for a walk?" ”

"It's so dark, how can we both ......?"

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

Claire said, "Wouldn't you be able to illuminate us with a glimmer of light?" In the snowy moonlight, the gardens of Ellington Castle are so beautiful that you really don't understand the romance of the elves. ”

Roy also felt that it was a bit bad to reject Claire's suggestion several times in a row, so he agreed: "Okay." ”

Then he got dressed carefully before walking with Claire along the walled path to the back garden.

Roy unleashed a divine glimmer that emitted a soft glow above the two of them, instantly dispelling the chill of the night.

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

The cold moonlight gives Old Castle Ellington a hazy beauty.

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

Illuminated by a glimmer of divine light, Roy was the first to climb to the high platform of the bread tree, which was much higher than the rest, sheltered by the walls of the castle, and therefore absolutely secret.

Edith said that this breadfruit tree is almost 2,000 years old, and it is the longest-lived tree in Fort Ellington, and there was originally a tree of life in the back garden of the castle, but for some reason, not long after the death of Earl Amelia, the tree of life also withered and died, which was almost the biggest loss of Fort Ellington.

The two climbed up to the high platform, and did not rush to the garden behind the castle.

Because Roy noticed that the staircase under the high wall had broken in place, and from this high platform there was just a bird's-eye view of the back garden.

On a moonlit night, the back garden covered by wild grass is still lush and green, many trees are luxuriant, and the shrub low wall and wild grass are integrated.

Claire sat under the breadfruit tree, placed the stone between her legs from her magic fanny pack, then pulled out another carving knife and began to carve ......

Roy was not very good at using his hands, but Miss Belinda was a little-known sculptor, and it was this stone that she put most of the stone in her studio, and when she saw Claire start to trim the stone, Roy leaned over the sacred glimmer so that Claire could see more clearly.

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

The day after tomorrow, the two of them 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 abundant resources, and the two will probably only eat some sour berries along the way, rather than that, it is better to bring a few breadfruits, which taste good and feel full.

Divine shimmer floated above Claire's head, and Roy sat quietly across from Claire......

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

Just as Roy put the breadfruit in his bag and looked up at Claire, at some point, there was a dead soul standing behind Claire, her face revealing a kind of majesty of a superior person, and her gaze just fell on the stone in Claire's hand.

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

Because that face was the appearance of Count Amelia, and she also looked up at Roy at the moment when Roy's expression was a little strange......

In her eye sockets, there were two dark blue soul fires, but those two soul fires were already condensed like elven eyes, if it weren't for the occasional beating of soul fires, Roy would not have been so easy to identify.

The outline of her body was so clear, she was wearing Mithril armor, and there were two long swords hanging from her waist, staring at Roy and asking faintly:

"Can you see me?"

The powerful coercion exuded by the strong man made Roy dare not move, and he nodded honestly.

When Count Amelia saw Roy's human face, his eyes immediately became extremely messy, the soul fire in his eyes skyrocketed, and he drew the storm sword on his waist and flashed it in front of Roy in an instant, and asked viciously, "Are you human?" ”

Claire's face turned pale with fright from the sudden sound behind him, and when he turned his head sharply, he saw the ghost of Count Amelia, and he was speechless.

However, when Count Amelia's ghost flashed in front of Roy, two storm swords rested on Roy's neck.

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

"He's a half-elf, his mother is a pure-blooded Silver Moon Elf, and now he lives with his mother......"

Claire snapped up all of Roy's message.

"Half-elf?"

When Count Amelia's revenant heard Claire's explanation, his anger calmed down a bit, and the soul fire in his eyes turned back into deep blue pupils.

She leaned over to Roy and sniffed, her sharp eyes softening.

"Why do you see me?" Count Amelia's ghost asked, leaning against Roy.

Roy hurriedly explained, "I am a probationary priest, and you will appear under the light. ”

The ghost of Count Amelia in front of her is not the ghost of the Black Pearl's torture chamber, and the power she has displayed is as easy as crushing Roy and Claire to kill Roy and Claire.

Seeing Roy and Claire standing honestly under the bread tree, Count Amelia retreated to the edge of the bread tree, and a cold voice came:

"Okay, I see, don't tell me about you seeing me, you don't want to get in trouble, right?"

Roy and Claire hurriedly said at the same time:

"We'll keep it a secret."

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

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

The ghost of Earl Amelia remains at Fort Ellington.

The two of them were shocked, but also a little incredulous......

After the elves die, some of the elves will enter the kingdom of the gods under the guidance of the moon goddess Elune and become followers of the moon goddess, although many more will become elves in the form of souls, wandering in the forest, or near the fountain of life, waiting to be reincarnated.

Count Amelia is an elven nobleman, and he has made great achievements during his lifetime, and it stands to reason that the Moonlight Goddess should give Moonlight guidance as soon as she dies, so that she can become a member of the Moonlight Legion.

But now, Roy and Claire see the remains of Earl Amelia's castle at Ellington.

She did not become a follower of the Moonlight Goddess, nor was she reincarnated as an elf who forgot all her memories, and the so-called elves were the soul consciousness of a mass of elves.

The two of them didn't dare to discuss it, after all, the two were still in Ellington Castle, maybe the Earl Amelia was secretly following them......

……

The next morning, a few elf girls picked some black berries in the bushes in the back garden of the castle, although they were not very tasty, but they were squeezed into juice and poured on the breadfruit, which could also add some different flavor to the breadfruit.

Everyone gathered around the table in the arsenal and had a decent breakfast.

Before it got dark last night, several more expeditions came to Ellington Castle, all of them freshmen from the Elven Academy.

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

After breakfast, Edith suggested that she pay her respects at Count Amelia's tombstone.

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

An elven girl asked curiously, "Count Amelia is buried in the castle?" ”

Edith explained, "Well, this is my grandmother's deathbed wish, and her grave is on the high platform at the back......"

With that, she pointed her hand to the location of the bread tree.

Roy and Claire looked at each other speechlessly.

If Edith had said this yesterday, the two of them would not have gone to the bread tree last night to talk at night!

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

There were no tombstones, nameplates, or cypresses, just a huge half-dead bread tree, whose sparse leaves swayed gently in the breeze as if to welcome Edith.

The expedition team spent the whole day inside the castle.

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

After two days of contact, Roy found that Edith was a very qualified captain, and her shrewdness, determination, bravery, and fairness had earned her a high reputation among the expedition, and it was no wonder that the other elven girls in the sixteenth group were very convinced of her.
