167. The castle went to the appointment

A horse-drawn carriage drove along the Boulevard in the Jungle of Malaga into the ruins of Fort Ellington, where the grass on both sides almost obscured the stone platforms.

The coachman tugged on the reins, and the carriage came to a slow stop.

Roy, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the desolate Ellington Castle in front of him, and without the students of the Elven Academy, it immediately became extremely quiet.

It's been more than a month since I left Ellington Castle, and some weeds have grown through the cracks in the bluestone slabs in front of the castle.

He made an appointment with the coachman through the window, and at noon the next day he picked him up at the gate of Ellington Castle, and Roy jumped out of the carriage.

He looked like a young archaeologist in his outfit, wearing boots, leggings, a white shirt, a leather waistcoat, and a magic fanny pack around his waist.

Leaving Roy where he was, the coachman swung his whip, turned the carriage, and hurried off down the avenue.

Cross the arched bridge in front of the castle ruins and enter Ellington Castle, where the ruined castle square is littered with rotting fruit peels.

A few crows flew up from a puddle in the square in front of the castle and landed on a beam whose roof had long since collapsed.

Walking along the desolate and dilapidated streets, to the place where he had once camped, Roy took out a tent from his magic belt bag and set it up unhurriedly at the door of the arsenal.

Then he picked up some dry twigs by a bush that had lost all his leaves, lit a bonfire in front of the tent, set up a simple tripod with three thick branches, hung the kettle underneath, and licked the bottom of the kettle with flames.

Although he brought some food, Roy walked down the path to the huge breadfruit tree on the platform behind him, and he climbed up to the tree and cut off a breadfruit with a dagger.

Seeing that it was still early, he circled around the castle.

Several sections of the mottled castle walls have collapsed, and when you step on it, you will hear the sound of stones tumbling down.

The elves seem to be fond of building some castles on separate cliffs, and Ellington Castle is surrounded by cliffs.

When you look at it from a distance, you will feel that it is hidden in the mountains.

When you get closer, you will feel that it is unusually majestic and magnificent.

I walked around the castle, and I didn't even see a ghost, there weren't even many small beasts on this side of the castle, except for the group of crows entrenched near the square, some mottled walls were crawling geckos, and a few squirrels were shuttling back and forth in the canopy of the mountain forest opposite the castle.

It looks like it's completely integrated with the surrounding nature.

In the valley, it gets dark very early.

Soon it was completely dark, and dinner was simple, breadfruit and a cup of vanilla tea.

Roy sat by the campfire, the kettle on the shelf rattling, Roy added boiling water to the kettle, and sprinkled a few vanilla leaves into the kettle.

Feeling a cold wind blowing, Roy just blinked......

Seeing Count Amelia sitting on the stone opposite the campfire, Roy didn't even notice when she appeared.

"You're here!"

Seeing Count Amelia appear, Roy didn't feel anything surprised, just politely said hello.

Count Amelia sat on the stone, stared at Roy and said:

"You're such a trustworthy young man."

Roy smiled slightly and said honestly:

"You've given me some benefits in advance, and even if it's to fulfill my promise, I'm going to come to see you."

Count Amelia said with some impatience:

"I don't want you to come here to listen to your chatter, but to say something I'm interested in."

Unhurriedly, Roy poured Count Amelia a cup of vanilla tea and placed it in front of her.

Although Count Amelia was only a spirit and could not drink tea at all, he was also very happy to see Roy actually do this......

Roy added two more strips of wood to the campfire, and the campfire burned even more.

"Okay, then I'll talk about what's happened in Castleton City lately, it's pretty hilarious......"

Roy said.

He then began to describe some of the recent events in Castletown City.

Roy began by talking about his first trial at the courthouse, where the group of slave traders aboard the Kumquat were all sentenced to heavy prison terms.

Even so, Count Amelia was so angry that he almost overturned the kettle on the wooden rack of the campfire when he heard that the slave traders had sneaked into the northwestern part of the jungle of Malaga......

When Count Amelia's mood calmed down a little, the soul fire in his eye socket returned to its original state.

Roy then spoke again about the trial of Priest Theodore, who stole the Holy Grail of Wisdom.

Then he talked about the deaths of the half-blood elves Peleus and Windsor, and the Tribunal's punishment of Theodore was too light, which led to a ten-day protest by the half-blood elves in the lower city.

During this period, due to the conflict between the guards and the Temple of the Moon, the elven guards of the guard bit the priest of Thorndike and finally found out the origin of the theft of the Holy Grail of Wisdom, and the cause of Windsor's death was revealed.

In order to maintain its reputation, the Moon Temple had to kick the Thorndike priest out of the moon temple, but unfortunately, this move of the Moon Temple did not save much reputation, but because the Thorndike priest gave up on himself, showing the uglier side in front of the elves.

Speaking of the current situation of the Moon Temple, including the attitude of the Moon Temple towards the half-blood elves, Count Amelia was also embarrassed.

Roy concludes with the trial of two pirates, Grey Dwarf Ralph and Lady Udula.

I thought it would lighten up the conversation, after all, the elves of Castleton hated the two pirates.

On the day of the trial, a large number of elves gathered in Castleton City in Heroes' Square.

After the bonfire was burned out, only the last bit of charcoal remained, and the mountain wind blew, and the face of Count Amelia became a little flickering.

When he heard the name of 'Lady Eudulla', Count Amelia was slightly stunned.

When she heard that Lady Eudullah had been ordered by the arbitrators to dig for magic crystals under the mines near Neuhouse, Roy's pale face suddenly drifted in front of Roy's face, startling Roy.

"You mean her name is Eudullah? What does she look like? ”

Roy couldn't understand why Count Amelia was so emotional, but he said:

"She has long red hair, and to be honest, I've never seen a red-haired blood elf!"

“……”

Earl Amelia didn't say anything more, she floated straight to a ruined watchtower at the top of Ellington Castle, and didn't come down for a long time.

Roy waited by the campfire, looking at the flickering fire, and guessed that Count Amelia might be an old acquaintance with Lady Eudulla.

After a long time, Roy huddled in front of the campfire, almost falling asleep.

Roy only felt a little cold, and just as he was about to pull the quilt, he suddenly woke up from his sleep, he just fell asleep in front of the campfire.

When he sat up straight with sleepy eyes, he found that at some point, Count Amelia was sitting opposite him again, his eyes glittering with soul fire a little dark.

She sighed softly and didn't say anything to Roy.

"Do you want to keep listening?"

Roy asked.

"Of course, but I don't want to hear about the in the Inquisition." Count Amelia held his forehead with one hand and said weakly.

Roy hurriedly sat up straight in front of the campfire and said:

"Well, I want to ask for your opinion on one thing, I lent the magic crystal you gave me to Miss Moira, the most talented half-breed spirit I have ever seen, and it took her a month to learn your 'Radiant Dance' ......"

Roy said with some humility:

"If you think I'm doing something wrong, I'll go back and get the magic crystal back right away."

After all, this matter is a bit of a prelude.

Count Amelia glanced at Roy and asked him, "The Radiant Dance is my reward for you, and you are willing to share him with your friends, that's your business, it seems that Moira has an unusual relationship with you?" ”

"It's a friend who grew up together, her personality is a little introverted, and she doesn't have many friends......"

Count Amelia nodded to Roy, and then added:

"If you try to practice this Radiant Dance, I guess you will have a feeling that this Sword Dance is very difficult."

Roy nodded repeatedly, he knew this very well.

Count Amelia went on to say:

"The reason why I will give you that magic crystal is because once this set of Radiant Dance is cast, it will allow the companions around you to have the power of divine attributes, which is very suitable for you......"

Count Amelia paused slightly, and then, as if thinking of something, raised his head and looked at Roy and took the initiative to say:

"Of course, it also has a unique set of breath methods."

Roy listened attentively and didn't interject.

"Normally, it is difficult for a fighter before a turn to comprehend this unique breath method."

"Now that your friend has learned the full set of movements of the Radiant Dance, I also have a detailed explanation of the Radiant Dance Breath Method here, you can take it to her and show it, don't be discouraged if you don't understand it, work hard to improve yourself, and after becoming a turn, it will become very simple to look back at this set of Breath Method."

Count Amelia admonished Roy.

After saying that, a book appeared out of thin air in her hand.

The book floated almost in mid-air, and slowly drifted towards Roy.

Roy reached out and took the parchment book in his hand, stood up and saluted Count Amelia:

"Thank you, Count Amelia!"

"Come here often when you have time, talk to Castleton with me, let me know what's going on outside, otherwise I'll have the illusion that time is frozen and the cycle repeats!"

Count Amelia said to Roy in a calm tone.

At this time, the sky lit up with a touch of fish belly white, and before I knew it, it had been a whole night.

The canopy above the sky is also quietly changing, the color is getting lighter and lighter, and the sky is getting brighter......

The figure of Count Amelia is also becoming more and more faint......
