The boats built by the elves, whether they sail on the sea or in the rivers, are almost always in the shape of barracudas.

However, in order to cope with the wind and waves, the front and rear ends of the hull are upturned, and there are sails on both sides of the ship's side that are fixed at a random angle like the pectoral fins of flying fish.

The boats in the river were flat and had two oars, without the fin-like sails......

The boat that Edith ordered was not arranged by the Elven Academy, so there was no need for the members of the sixteen groups to wait in line like other elven students.

In fact, the ship had been anchored here for four days, and if it weren't for Roy and Claire, Edith and her sisters would have returned to their own treehouse in Castleton City to cool off.

But camping by a waterfall on the banks of the River Darne is also a rare experience.

The elf girls don't feel bored, and every day there is a bonfire on the shore, and there are always some elf students who will take out their instruments and improvise.

Claire would have loved to attend such a summer bonfire instead of just walking to the waterfall and returning to Castletown that day.

However, it is obvious that the ship of Edith was missed, and Roy and Claire had to accept the arrangement of the Elven Academy, those small ships had seats, no rooms to rest, and it was estimated that there was no boat experience on the way back to Castletown......

So Roy and Claire followed Edith to the boat moored on the riverbank that afternoon.

Roy found that the ship had no deck, the only bit of deck was at the very front and sides of the hull, so narrow that one could only walk sideways, and there was a row of guardrails on both sides of the hull to prevent it from falling into the river.

The cabin is semi-sunken, and sitting in the cabin, you can just look through the windows on both sides of the cabin to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the riverbank.

The cabins are spaced out with lounges, and the whole ship is designed with only one hall, which not only has exquisite long rows of tables, but also very luxurious soft leather chaise longues on either side of the long tables, each of which exists independently, and each chaise longue is about a foot apart from each other.

The cabin is luxuriously decorated, and it doesn't look like it looks like it from the outside, but when you walk in, you will find that it is simply specially prepared for parties.

It's just that this kind of boat obviously can't resist the wind and waves at sea, but it is extremely comfortable to sail in the river.

Obviously, with the exception of Roy and Claire, who were a little uncomfortable, the other elves seemed to be familiar with the ship, and they chose their location very randomly......

Roy and Claire chose to sit on two chaise longues near the doorway, and the long tables in the middle of the cabin were filled with all kinds of delicious fruits, and several uniquely shaped glass kettles contained pale green sap, which Roy was sure must contain the sap of the Tree of Life.

After all the people in the group boarded the boat, the boat slowly left the Danei River Waterfall and went down the river.

Seeing that Roy and Claire looked a little restrained, her best friend Phyllis carried two glasses of world tree sap and pushed them in front of them.

"Claire, I just heard that you and Roy actually saw through a gang of slavers at the check-in point in the Malaga jungle!" Elise sat on the chaise longue next to her and asked Claire curiously.

This sentence immediately attracted several glances, and a Silver Moon Elf girl came to Claire's side and said excitedly:

"So it's really you, I heard about it a few days ago."

Some elf girls even took the opportunity to ask, "Claire, have you seen those slave traders?" ”

"I guess I've seen it, but the two of us hid at the time and didn't do anything." Claire took a sip of the Tree of Life sap and explained.

"Claire, can you be more detailed......?"

Claire scratched her head a little distressedly, pointed out the window, and said, "I think since we are all boating on the Dane River, it is better to talk about something related to the scenery, Phyllis, is the statue of Ling finished?" ”

“…… Of course. Phyllis replied with a smile.

Talking about this, Claireton became interested, and said to Phyllis expectantly, "Can you enjoy your work?" ”

Phyllis happily took out a stone from her magical fanny pack and said proudly to Roy:

"This is a piece of emerald stone that I picked up on the beach in the lower reaches of the Dane River, although the quality is not very good, there are very clear cracks here, and there is no transparency to speak of, but there is no problem in carving a small ornament."

With that, she spread her palms.

An emerald green tree frog lay on Phyllis's palm, the size of an egg, and the tree frog was still licking the fly in the air with its long beak and tongue.

The tree frog is carved so vividly that even the fly, which is half wrapped around its tongue, has its wings and legs.

Claire and Roy are attracted to the frog at the same time.

Roy turned his head to look at Claire, as if asking, 'Are all the students in your carving class curled up like this?' ’

Claire also shrugged her shoulders awkwardly, and then praised Phyllis:

"I didn't expect a Malaga forest frog to leave such a deep impression on you, such a delicate ornament, I'm afraid you are eligible to participate in the art exhibition."

Unexpectedly, Phyllis put the ornament in front of Roy again, and asked Roy with a smile, "Roy, what do you think?" ”

"It's exquisite, a lot of details are handled very well, and the knife work is better than Claire." Roy said honestly.

"Giggle......

There was a silvery bell-like laughter all around.

Claire, who was sitting opposite, gritted her teeth and pounced on her, and said to Roy with hatred:

"Roy, if you talk like that, you're not worried that I'll break up with you?"

Roy laughed along with everyone......

Claire has been a bit frustrated by the elven students lately, so he should be given a blow......

Phyllis put the engraving back away, and then asked Claire:

"Claire, what about your sculptures, take them out for everyone to enjoy."

Claire knows that this can't be avoided, since she has seen other people's, she also has to let others look at herself, this is the rule.

"Okay, I'll show you my work." Claire agreed.

After saying that, he took out his stone carving, a marble about the size of a basketball, just carving this upper body, and only the part above the shoulder.

Although it does not have the skills of the master carvers, this statue is still very similar, the facial features are also correct, and the whole face is waxed and polished, which looks good.

"It's ...... Is this Count Amelia? Phyllis looked at it for a moment before asking hesitantly.

Claire nodded and said, "That's right, I drew a lot of sketches on the fourth floor of the castle, as for carving Count Amelia, because I think Count Amelia also belongs to the jungle of Magara......"

Apparently the elves were usually very fond of talking about these art-related topics, and soon other elf girls joined in.

Roy sat quietly on the side, quietly looking at the riverside woodland, the water willow trees on the bank were in the setting sun, and the shadow almost covered the entire surface of the river.

Edith chatted with everyone for a while, then stepped out of the cabin and slashed the training wooden man at the bow with a long sword.

Some of these elf girls also participated in the music appreciation class, and when the teacher asked each student to compose a tune, although the elf girls did not complain, they were also quite distressed......

"Claire, play the tune you wrote for everyone!" Phyllis blinked and smiled at Claire.

"I'm still close to the last point of the song, and when it's finished, I'll take it out for everyone to enjoy."

Claire didn't want to show it at this time, he still had to get a scary music appreciation class.

Claire chatted late with the girls of Group 16......

When everyone got tired, they lay back on their chaise longues, covered with a thin blanket.

There was silence in the cabin, save for the sound of some even breathing and the flow of the river.

After a full night of sailing, the ship actually made its way through the Malaga jungle.

At dawn, Roy found out that the ship had left the Malaga jungle behind, and in just one night, the ship had covered the path that Roy and Claire had taken half a month to complete.

The elven statue at the top of the hill in Castletown was already in sight.

By noon, the ship had docked at the pier west of Castletown.

The Dane River Wharf is small, with only a 50-meter-long stone staircase made of stones, and the boat is docked next to the stone steps, and the group walks off the boat with their luggage on their backs.

Roy looked down the Dane River and wanted to float all the way home along the Dane.

There were other boats along the river, and many elven students got out of the boats tired, moving their stiff and numb bodies.

The small boats offer cramped seating, and there are only five stops along the way to take a break, so the ride is still very tiring.

Roy stepped off the boat with a heavy backpack, and before he could say goodbye to Edith and the others, he saw two elven guards walking up and standing in front of Roy and Claire, with silver visors on their heads, and only the blue eyes and chin could be seen inside.

"Are you Claire and Roy?" One of the elven guards asked, staring at Roy.

Claire asked, somewhat curiously, "Is there anything you want to do with us?" ”

One of the elven guards said, "...... The group of slave traders aboard the Kumquat will be tried in three days at the Council of Elders Inquisition, and the Council of Elders expects you to be present as witnesses. ”

"We're going to be in this trial, and we're looking forward to seeing those slave traders get the punishment they deserve." Claire said.

The two elven guards looked at each other before saying:

"In that case, then we will take our leave!"

With that, the two elven guards turned around and left the riverbank dock.

"They...... Did you get people together so quickly? Claire whispered to Roy.

Edith came from behind and said casually to the two:

"It must have been a large number of Silver Pegasus Legions dispatched to search for them at sea, and this incident has caused a great shock to the city of Castletown, and everyone thinks that this is a problem with the defense of the city's perimeter, and the Council of Elders needs to silence these protests......
