104. Magic Crystal

It wasn't until this moment that a layer of cold sweat broke out on Roy's back.

He had always believed that the ghost of Count Amelia would be affected by the alternation of day and night, that is, he would fall into a deep sleep during the day and run out at night to move around the castle.

At the same time, he felt that Earl Amelia's area of activity was roughly around the bread tree, and it was absolutely impossible for him to leave Ellington Castle.

Now, Count Amelia seems to be able to appear in the shade of trees during the day, and she doesn't seem to be so afraid of the sun, and her area of activity is definitely not limited to Ellington Castle.

Seeing Count Amelia wave at him, Roy suddenly fell into a stupor......

Claire stopped and looked back in confusion, only to find that there was nothing behind her, only an old tree.

"Roy, what are you looking at?" Claire asked curiously.

Roy came to his senses from his stupor, and by this time the face of Count Amelia on the trunk had long since disappeared, and Roy shook his head and muttered:

"Oh, nothing, let's go!"

Seeing the castle Ellington in the distance, it seemed that it was about to hide in the lush mountain forest, this path was very quiet, and there were no other elf students within a few dozen meters before and after......

Claire turned around, pressed one hand on Roy's shoulder, and said to him very seriously:

"Roy, although I warned you before, whether you want to listen or not, I still have to remind you not to chase Edith. Ellington, that guy is a perfectionist with a spiritual cleanliness fetish, it's okay to make her the captain, but you want to chase her, it's like a moth dancing on a flame, that flame only needs to beat once, and you will turn into a flying fire, and in the end you won't even be able to hold the ashes ......"

Roy thought of the Earl Amelia in the castle, and felt that the Ellington elves seemed to be a little paranoid......

"I know, really, I don't have any thoughts about her!"

Roy said again.

However, Claire looked at him with a skeptical gaze......

……

The two men left the avenue of Fort Ellington.

Following the map of the closest check-in location to the castle, I found the direction and plunged headlong into the hot and dense jungle of Malaga.

There are hardly any roads in the jungle of Magara, the trees here grow twenty or thirty meters high, and almost all of them have dense foliage only at the top.

In addition to some thorny vines, the forest is also covered with thorny shoots and some uncommon herbaceous plants.

The jungle during the rainy season is very muddy.

Occasionally, there will be a puddle of stagnant water in the woodland, and if you squat down at this moment, you will find that the small puddle is churning up and down with some small pale red insects.

The air in the jungle was hot and humid, airtight and airtight.

Most of the plants have jagged leaves, and they are full of thorny vines, and occasionally the vines are too dense to go around, or else take a hatchet and cut the vines that stand in front of you.

Due to the dense vegetation all around, you can't see the distant scenery.

The two of them walked forward in the dense forest, until a cliff with a drop of about 20 meters appeared in front of them, and they could only walk a little further against the cliff wall.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Roy discussed it with Claire and found a sheltered place to camp under the cliff.

Fortunately, before going out, Ms. Belinda asked Roy to bring some ointment to repel mosquitoes, so that the mosquitoes flying everywhere did not bite the two of them......

And Claire also cut some artemisia grass and pressed it on the campfire, and suddenly a pungent smoke came out of the campfire, and a large amount of smoke drove away the flying insects that were wandering around.

Claire rarely sees a campfire.

So, he was very curious about this little fire.

He sat in front of the campfire with his knees crossed, staring at the flames without blinking, and every now and then he would add a twig or two to the fire.

Roy ate a little breadfruit and drank a little water, and then set up his tent under the cliff, and said to Claire:

"According to the law of survival in the jungle, we need someone to watch the night, in the first half of the night you are on duty, I will go to sleep for a while, and when it is midnight, you call me up again, you go to sleep."

Claire's eyes lit up and she responded:

"Okay, then I'll go get some branches and get some artemisia grass, there are too many mosquitoes here."

Roy ignored Claire, who was still fresh about everything, and after getting into the tent, he had barely slept last night, and after a busy day during the day, his head had already become a little groggy, and he fell asleep not long after.

……

"Roy, Roy...... It's your turn to watch the campfire. ”

Claire knocked on Roy's tent and called out to him outside.

Roy opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he was still sleeping in a tent, which was a little impermeable, sweating, and sticky......

Roy climbed out of the tent, Claire handed him a hatchet and yawned into his tent.

The campfire between the two tents was still burning, and Roy saw that there were some branches piled up next to it, which seemed to be prepared by Claire.

In addition to the rustle of leaves, there was also the sound of insects chirping continuously......

Roy sat by the campfire, only to find that Claire's drawing book was still on the side, and it seemed that he was not idle just now.

There was also a ball of paper next to the campfire, which Roy picked up, and on it was scribbled with curvy lines and symbols, obviously not paintings, but rather like a small piece of musical score.

Roy helped him toss the paper ball into the fire......

Then Roy took out the magic crystal from his pocket that Count Amelia had given him.

Roy's first encounter with the Magic Crystal was in the Brown Street Tavern, where there was a large conch on the bar with a piece of the Magic Crystal playing back a cheerful song.

Looking at the magic crystal in his hand, there are six edges around the crystal, and the two ends are pointed, just right to hold in the palm of his hand......

Roy wondered how he could open the crystal so that it could sing automatically.

The light of the campfire is not bright enough, and there will be a lot of shadows in the areas that are covered.

Roy intends to cast a 'shimmer of light' and summon a cloud of divine glimmer before carefully studying the magic crystal.

But just as he was about to condense the power of holy light to draw the divine pattern, a trace of holy light power overflowing from the palm of his hand flowed into the magic crystal, and this magic crystal actually lit up.

Roy didn't expect to activate the magic crystal, and only needed to input a trace of holy light into the crystal.

When this trace of holy light power flowed in the pattern of the magic crystal, the magic crystal was no longer clear and transparent, and a hazy mist appeared in it, and as the power of the holy light covered the crystal, the mist began to slowly dissipate, and after the mist dissipated, a silver moon elf actually appeared in the magic crystal.

The Silver Moon Elf carried a sword in one hand and danced inside the magic crystal.

It's a pity that it was an elven male warrior with a long sword dancing in the magic crystal, and every gesture and every breath was revealed in the crystal......

Roy thought of the night of the Battle of the Harbor, when the Simpsons Squadron Leader of Princess Ophelia's Guard performed a Silver Moon Elf war dance on the ship to increase the combat power of all the Elven guards, and it seemed that the magic crystal displayed this kind of elven war dance.

Each dance lasts less than a minute, but the movements are very complex and involve the use of breath and magic......

At the end of each war dance, the magic crystal will display the name of the war dance, which are: Radiant Dance, Mystic Dance, and Morale Dance.

Roy didn't expect that the magic crystal given to him by Count Amelia was actually a detailed explanation of the three war dances.

What bothers Roy the most is those movements, which he simply can't make, and if he wants to make such a move, it is better to break his hands and feet and put them back together, maybe he can complete it.

Looking at the magic crystal in his hand, Roy suddenly fell into an extremely tangled situation.

……

At Fort Ellington at night, Edith changed into a set of loose pajamas in the tent before lying in her sleeping bag.

There was also a classmate and best friend of Edith in the tent, Phyllis, who was also wearing a similar style of pajamas and sitting on a fur cushion, holding a glass of life tree sap in both hands, and drinking it in small sips, she turned her head to look at Edith, saw that she was playing with the magic crystal in her hand, and asked:

"Even if that half-elf knows Princess Ophelia, it's not worth your effort!"

"Hmm!" Edith replied absentmindedly, her eyes rolling to the pattern on the magic crystal.

"Edith, you're not going to fall in love with him, are you?" Miss Phyllis asked, a little worried.

Edith put the magic crystal in her hand beside her, glared at her best friend Miss Phyllis, and said to her, "What do you think! All I want to do in my life is to follow Princess Ophelia and become her follower, so that I can have a chance to regain the glory of House Ellington! ”

As she said this, Edith's eyes became unwavering.

Miss Phyllis gently brushed her long blonde hair, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile:

"Thought you were going to have something to do with Roy...... In fact, Roy is also quite good, handsome and sunny, and after getting tired of seeing the Silver Moon Elves, you will find that the appearance of humans may be more attractive! ”

Edith glared at her best friend, picked up the magic crystal in her hand again, and said:

"If you're looking for an after-rain encounter with him, I might be able to help......"

Edith saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this high-grade magic crystal, so she injected a trace of magic into the crystal, and the delicate patterns on the magic crystal suddenly lit up layer by layer, just when Edith felt that those patterns were somewhat familiar......

A melodious singing voice reached Edith's ears.

The song was clear and beautiful, but at this moment Edith opened her eyes suddenly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her sharp eyes, and she slammed open the curtain of the tent, and got out of the tent barefoot, and ran desperately towards the gates of Old Castle Ellington, the thin nightgown on her body like a cloud over her.

At midnight, there were many elves camping near the castle.

Some of the elves who had not yet fallen asleep happened to see a blurred figure like a white mist, running out of the building in the corner of the castle, and her steps were as agile and brisk as a deer in the woods, and she did not stop until she reached the gate of the castle.

Standing barefoot on the ruins of the statue, looking out into the dark jungle outside the castle...... But where can you still find Roy's shadow.

Edith retracted her gaze a little disappointed, only then did she feel the cool breeze in the night, which made her feel cold all over, and she couldn't help but tug at the somewhat thin nightdress......

Fortunately, her best friend Phyllis brought a cloak in time to avoid Edith's embarrassment.
