300. Prom
"Roy, your letter!"
Early in the morning, the postman stopped in front of Roy's house on horseback, took a letter from his purse and handed it to Roy in the courtyard wall.
Roy was getting ready to go to school when he walked to his house and met the postman.
Tearing open the envelope, the name of Grand Priest Reed was at the place of payment, and Roy's heart warmed.
'Roy, I've received your letter, I'm doing well with Golfito, the magicians of the Astrologer's Guild have repaired the door to the Dark Lands, next month we are going to the Dark Lands, where we are looking for the whereabouts of Liberty, the first two advance teams have found major clues, we must follow in the footsteps of our predecessors this time and spread the seeds of light in the Dark Lands.
I've heard that you've mastered the Holy Light, Wisdom Blessing, and Hammer of Punishment, so I'll list a few things to keep in mind when drawing the Hammer of Sanctions......
Archpriest Reed's handwriting on seagrass paper was still so meticulous, but the contents of the letter could not make Roy happy.
The Temple of Liberty in Castletown had been closed for three years, but the third expeditionary force had been stranded in Golfito for three years due to the destruction of the portal on Golfito's side by the dark creatures.
Fortunately, the Church of Liberty has accumulated enough wealth, and a large number of priests are stranded in Golfito City, and they are not affected in the slightest.
The only trouble was that the two advance armies that went out in front of them were trapped in the dark place, and they could not get supplies from the side of Golfito City for three years.
Now that Grand Priest Reed is finally about to set off with the expeditionary force, Roy's heart is still full of worries.
In Roy's heart, he hopes that the gate of time and space will not be repaired well.
He is not a believer in Lady Liberty, so naturally he doesn't care much about the life or death of the Goddess......
The asylum that the Council of Elders of the Silver Moon Elves had promised to set up was still under construction, and every time he passed by the gates of the Temple of Liberty, Roy would see that the courtyard of the temple was already overgrown with vines and weeds.
Roy stood against the wall, reading Archpriest Reed's letter carefully.
"Roy, Tiffany, and Woods are already waiting at the crossroads, let's hurry up and ......"
Dressed in a brown Thorntail Crystal Lion Skin Armor with a stabbing saber on her belt, Moira stood slimly at the gate next door, greeting Roy.
"Here ......
Roy folded the letter in his hand, put it in his breast pocket, and followed Moira towards the street.
Moira recently got a short ear-length haircut, which is rare among elf girls, but the whole person has become much more refreshing and lively......
The reason for cutting her hair was that in the final assessment of this semester's martial arts class, her grades ranked second.
Moira thought that the ponytail was affecting her movements, so she cut her hair short.
In fact, there was one thing that Roy didn't say to her, that the Silver Moon Elf who won the first place in the martial arts class assessment was a member of the Wellington family, Edith. Wellington's cousin, Roy, who had met the guy twice at Edith's ball, was a proud young elf, who looked polite, but had an arrogance in his bones that was hard to hide.
Moira has changed a lot in the past two years, and her round face, which was originally a little baby fat, has now become a melon seed face.
Not only did she grow a little taller, but she also became a little slimmer, presumably due to the fact that she practiced the Assassin's martial arts.
Miss Tiffany, dressed in a long mermaid dress and holding two magic books in her arms, beckoned to Moira, who had just come out of the house......
The belated carriage stopped at the crossroads, and Miss Tiffany and Moira stepped into the carriage first, just before Woods ran out of Mrs. Winnie's pharmacy, got into the carriage before the doors closed, and sat down with Roy.
A year ago, Mrs. Winnie found out that there was a druid kid on Brown Street who was proficient in herbology, and it took three days to finally convince Woods to work part-time in her apothecary......
Roy is taking the final exam for astrology this morning.
He studied astrology for three whole years, and once he failed the exam, it would take another three years to retake it, so this time he was well prepared.
Tiffany & Co. and Moira are also subject to the assessment as landscape artists.
"Woods, have you asked Mrs. Winnie for leave?"
As the carriage slowly moved forward, the scenery outside the window changing, Roy asked Woods, who was sitting next to him.
"It's already been agreed, and I've made a batch of magic potions in the past few days, enough to sell in the apothecary for two months, and Mrs. Winnie asked me to help her bring the goods from Padstow City!" Woods said happily.
Roy rolled his eyes, complaining to himself that Mrs. Winnie was simply too calculating.
……
I was nervous all morning.
After completing the final exam of astrology, Roy walked out of the classroom, and only then did he dare to take a deep breath of fresh air in the hallway, holding on to the railing towards the courtyard full of greenery.
If I had known that astrology needed to memorize so many star charts, I would never have considered learning this anyway, which is simply too torturous......
A group of elf students came out of the exam room one after another, and everyone was talking about the exam.
Roy was also in a group of half-blood elves, chatting casually without a word.
……
Arriving at the academy gates, Roy waits for Woods, Moira, and Miss Tiffany to go home together.
Claire walked out of the Elven Academy surrounded by a group of Silver Moon Elf students.
Claire looks like this everywhere she goes......
This year marks the third year in a row that he has been named 'Castletown City Musician of the Year'.
At the beginning of the year, he also gave a concert at the Castletown Theatre.
Claire saw Roy through the crowd and quickly stopped, but he couldn't get over.
Because wherever he went, the elves around him would move in parallel to him, and he didn't want to nearly squeeze Roy against the wall like he did last time......
"Roy, do you want to go to the opera house together?" Claire waved her hand vigorously at Roy and said loudly in her voice.
Roy waved his hand and responded, "There's something to do in the afternoon, you guys go." ”
Claire continued: "See you at the dance that night! ”
Roy made an 'OK' gesture and responded loudly, "Got it." ”
Then, I watched as a group of young elves surrounded Claire and left.
The Silvermoon Elves adore musicians and artists, but Roy didn't expect to be so fanatical, he felt like a group of fanatical believers......
Castletown was still the same as it had been three years ago, and Roy had become an intermediate student in the Silver Moon Elf Academy, and had his own social circle.
Instructor Nora came out of the academy and saw Roy leaning against the wall, so he stopped, walked up to Roy, and said to him:
"Roy, I heard that you have formed an adventure group to go to the Partington plane to train?"
Roy quickly straightened up and saluted Instructor Nora.
As Roy's leader in melee martial arts, Instructor Nora has helped him a lot in private.
It is no exaggeration to say that when Roy is fighting, the shadow of Instructor Nora often appears on his body......
"Well, I'll leave tomorrow...... We'll go to Padstow first, and then we'll stop for a few days in Fortress Town. Roy said honestly.
Instructor Nora asked curiously, "Are you going on an expedition to the Blackwater Swamp?" ”
The reason Instructor Nora asked this was simply because Roy had described a route that was just right for the Blackwater Swamp.
Roy didn't think about it, so he shook his head and denied it:
"Not this time, for the time being, we don't have the ability to deal with the Poisonhorn Black Snake and the Dragonfly, we plan to go west along the Griffin Mountains this time, and if we can, we want to go to the Pagisto Plateau."
Roy had absolutely clear knowledge of his fledgling expedition, and he didn't want to go on an adventure for the first time.
Instructor Nora was relieved to hear Roy say this, nodded with a smile, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder:
"No matter what, be safe."
"I will, Instructor Nora!"
Instructor Nora chatted with Roy for a while before leaving.
Because Roy saw that Instructor Eleanor, Instructor Virgil and Instructor Gru were already waiting across the street, these three instructors had some different opinions on Roy's departure, so they usually avoided it as much as possible in the academy.
……
Ever since the rebels of the Partington Plane accepted the peace talks, the Barrier Town of the Partington Plane has been in constant trouble, and there will always be some minor friction between the half-blood elves and the Silvermoon Elf administrators.
Although the new walled town has been built, the management here is also very chaotic.
Roy still wears the hat of an archon, and spends almost two holidays a year mediating disputes in the town of Barriers......
The instructors didn't want to throw all the holidays on the Partington plane, and Roy couldn't go on a plane trip with the instructors every year, so Roy officially quit the Elven Academy adventure group last year, and the instructors also understood this very well.
The reason why they are very unhappy with Roy is because Sabrina and Woods also officially announced their withdrawal from the Elven Academy's adventure party last month.
As soon as they left the Elven Academy Adventure Party, they quickly joined Roy's newly formed Adventure Party.
Roy's adventurous party has a name, and it's called Sakaram.
There are currently six members, namely Roy, Sabrina, Moira, Woods, Tiffany, and Claire.
After waiting for Woods at the entrance of the Academy, the two of them ran to a trading house near the central square of Castletown, where they purchased some fine twine and some skinning knives and hoe and sickles for collecting magic herbs, as well as some miscanthus for cooked leather, and several other co-solvents.
Roy had purchased these supplies against a list.
"Do you want to buy so much?" Woods was a little worried when he saw such a large pile of supplies.
Some of the scattered supplies were put directly into Roy's magic pocket, and the rest of the supplies were negotiated with the manager of the comptoir, and they will be delivered to the docks of Castletown Port tomorrow morning.
"Roy, are we going to transport these supplies to Fortress Town?" Woods asked quietly.
"yes...... But you don't have to worry, this shipment arrives at the docks, we just need to find a way to move it to the ship, and then arrive at Partington Island, and then hire a carriage to transfer to Paddestow City, and find a random carriage shop in the city, rent a carriage and transport it to Paddestow, or we can entrust it to the caravan and ask them to ship it to Barrier Town, which will not cost a few dollars. Roy whispered to Woods.
Woods was relieved to hear Roy say a complete set of transportation plans.
"Hurry up, we're going to have a school dance party in the evening, didn't you say last time that you secretly like a half-breed elf girl, you can ask her to dance and see if you have a chance to ......"
Roy said as he walked.
"How could I have said ......"
Woods muttered, but his steps weren't slow at all.
"Do you want me to name that girl?"
Roy smiled......
……
At the end of each semester, the Elf Academy hosts a dance party.
Only the students of the Elf Academy can participate, but due to the large number of students in the Elf Academy, the scale of each dance is very large, and the dance floor can only be on the grass in front of the main teaching building of the Academy.
In recent years, the Elven Academy's final ball has become even more famous because of Wagner, the youngest musician in Castletown. Claire would play piano music at the ball.
The year before last it was two, last year it was three, and this year it is said that there will be at least three piano pieces as well.
This kind of free concert is what many elves dream of.
By the time Roy and Woods arrived at the academy, there were already a lot of students gathered on the playground.
Roy didn't wear a gown, so he and Woods found a secluded place and put on a magic pattern.
When I participated in the ball, I wore leather armor and magic pattern construction, which can barely be said......
A soothing sound of music came over, and Roy and Woods blended into the crowd, the elven girls in beautiful long dresses and light makeup on their faces, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, and the smell of flowers and perfume everywhere.
Roy and Woods managed to find Tiffany and Moira, and Miss Tiffany was soon invited to dance by an elven student.
Moira stood on the edge of the grass with some excitement, holding her hands on the fence and peering out into the dance floor......
She has really changed a lot in the past few years, and the half-race elf girl who was originally a little autistic and didn't like to communicate with strange elves can now participate in this kind of lively dance party......
Actually, Moira was more excited...... She was finally able to go on a plane adventure with them, and Lady Gillian agreed.
The climax of the dance party is Claire's appearance in the band, and this time, with the cooperation of the band, Claire also played three tunes in a row, which suddenly pushed the atmosphere of the dance party to the peak.
Moira's face turned red due to the atmosphere of the ball, but she would never dare to let her dance on the dance floor.
Not even with Miss Tiffany's encouragement......
Roy didn't care, but when Miss Edith came to say hello, she asked her for a dance.
There was some chaos on the crowded dance floor, and many of the dancing elf students stopped one after another, and everyone gathered around an area.
Roy and Moira watched the excitement from the edge of the dance floor, unsure of what's going on there, and didn't plan to get over.
At this time, Woods didn't know where to get out, grabbed Roy's arm and ran towards the crowd, saying as he ran:
"Roy, hurry up and take a look, Sabrina is in trouble......"
