Return Voyage

The boats built by the elves, whether traveling on the sea or in rivers, are almost always shaped like a barracuda.

However, in order to fight against wind and waves, ships at sea have both the front and rear ends of the hull tilted upward. There are also sails on the ship that are fixed on both sides of the ship and can be adjusted at any angle like the pectoral fins of a flying fish.

Boats traveling in the river don't have these. The entire boat is flat. At the same time, it lacks a flying fish fin sail and instead has two paddles...

The boat ordered by Edith was not arranged by the Elf Academy, so members of Group 16 did not need to queue up to wait for the boat like other elf students.

In fact, this ship has been anchored here for four days. If it were not for waiting for Roy and Klayr, I believe Edith and her sisters would have returned to Castleton City's tree house to enjoy the cool air.

However, camping next to the waterfall at the Da Nei River is also a rare and wonderful experience.

The elf girls will not feel bored. There will be a bonfire party on the shore every day, and there will always be some elf students who will take out musical instruments and perform impromptu performances.

Klayr actually really wants to attend such a summer bonfire party, instead of just walking to the waterfall and returning Castleton City on the same day.

However, I obviously missed the boat Edith. Roy and Klayr will have to accept the arrangement of the Elf Academy. Those small boats have seats but no rooms to rest. It is estimated that there will be no boating experience all the way back to Castleton...

So Roy and Klayr followed Edith on board the boat anchored on the river bank that afternoon.

Roy discovered that this ship has no deck. The only deck is at the front end and both sides of the hull. It is only narrow enough for people to walk sideways. There is also a row of guardrails on both sides of the hull to prevent it from falling into the river.

The cabin is semi-sunken. Sitting in the cabin, you can just enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river bank through the windows on both sides of the cabin.

There are separate lounges in the cabin, and the entire ship is designed with only one hall. There are not only exquisite long rows of tables, but also very luxurious soft leather recliners on both sides of the long row of tables. Each recliner exists independently, and there is about a foot of distance between each recliner.

The cabin is very luxuriously decorated. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but when you walk in, you will find that this place is specially prepared for parties.

It's just that this kind of boat is obviously unable to withstand the wind and waves on the sea, but it is extremely comfortable to sail in the river.

Obviously, except for Roy and Klayr, the other elves seemed to be very familiar with the ship, and they chose their positions very casually...

Roy and Klayr chose to sit on the two deck chairs near the door. The long table in the middle of the cabin was not only filled with all kinds of delicious fruits, but also contained light green juice in several unique glass kettles. Roy was sure that the one inside must be Tree of Life Sap.

After all the people got on the boat, the boat slowly left Da Nei River Waterfall and went down the river.

Seeing that Roy and Klayr looked a little restrained, her best friend Phyllis held two cups of World Tree Juice and pushed them in front of them.

"Klayr, I just heard that you and Roy actually spotted a group of Slave Traders at Malaga Jungle's check-in point!" Elise sat on the recliner next to her and asked Klayr curiously.

This sentence immediately attracted several eyes. A Silver Moon Elf girl came to Klayr and said excitedly:

"It turns out it's really you. I heard about it a few days ago."

Some elf girls even took the opportunity to ask, "Klayr, have you seen those Slave Traders?"

"I think we've met before, but we were hiding at the time and didn't do anything." Claire took a sip of Tree of Life Sap and then explained.

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

Klayr scratched his head in distress, pointed out the window and said, "I think since we are all rafting on the Da Nei River, we might as well talk about something related to the scenery. Phyllis, have you finished the statue of you?"

"... Of course." Phyllis responded with a smile.

Talking about these, Klayr suddenly became interested, and said to Phyllis expectantly, "Can I appreciate your work?"

Phyllis readily took out a stone from Magic Pouch and said proudly to Roy:

"This is a piece of Beryl Stone that I picked up on the beach downstream of the Da Nei River. Although the quality is not very good, there are very clear cracks here, and there is no transparency at all, but there is still no problem in carving a small ornament."

After speaking, she spread her palms.

An emerald green tree frog lay in the palm of Phyllis's hand. It was only the size of an egg, and the tree frog was still shooting out its tongue from its long mouth to lick flies in the air.

This tree frog is carved so vividly that even the fly half-wrapped by the tongue has wings and leg patterns carved out.

Klayr and Roy were attracted to this wood frog at the same time.

Roy turned to look at Claire, her eyes seemed to be asking, 'Are all the students in your sculpture class this curly? '

Klayr also shrugged awkwardly, and then praised Phyllis: "I didn't expect that a Malaga Tree Frog would leave such a deep impression on you. Such a delicate little ornament may be qualified to participate in an art exhibition."

Unexpectedly, Phyllis placed the ornament in front of Roy again, smiled and asked Roy: "Roy, what do you think?"

"It's very exquisite, many details are well handled, and the knife skills are better than Klayr." Roy said honestly.

"Giggle..."

There was laughter like silver bells from all around.

Klayr, who was sitting opposite, rushed forward with gritted teeth and said hatefully to Roy:

"Roy, when you talk like this, don't you worry about me breaking off our relationship with you?"

Roy laughs with everyone...

Klayr This guy has been a little obsessed with being favored by the elf students recently. He should be given a blow...

Phyllis put the sculpture away again, and then asked Klayr: "Klayr, where is your sculpture? Take it out for everyone to appreciate."

Klayr knows that this is unavoidable. Since you have seen others, you should also let others see yours. This is the rule.

"Okay, let me show you my work." Klayr agreed.

After saying that, he took out his piece of Stone Sculpture, a piece of marble about the size of a basketball. It only carved the upper body of the statue, and only the part above the shoulders.

Although it doesn't have the skills of the master sculptors, this statue still looks very similar, the facial features are pretty straight, and the entire face has been waxed and glazed, so it looks pretty good.

"This... is this Countess Amelia?" Phyllis looked at it for a moment before hesitatingly asked.

Klayr nodded and said, "Yes, I drew a lot of sketches on the fourth floor of the castle. As for carving Countess Amelia, because I think Countess Amelia also belongs to Magala Jungle..."

Obviously the elves usually like to talk about these art-related topics, and other elf girls soon joined in.

Roy sat quietly on the side, quietly looking at the woodland by the river. The water willow trees on the bank almost covered the entire river in the sunset.

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

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

"Klayr, play the song you wrote for everyone to listen to!" Phyllis blinked and said to Klayr with a smile.

"The last bit of the song is still unfinished. When it's finished, I'll take it out for everyone to enjoy."

Klayr doesn't want to show it now, he has to take the music appreciation class to scare people.

Klayr chatted with the girls from Group 16 until late...

When everyone got tired, they lay back on their respective lounge chairs, covered with a thin blanket.

The cabin fell silent, except for the sounds of even breathing and the sound of the river flowing.

After sailing all night, the ship actually passed through Malaga Jungle.

At dawn, Roy discovered that the ship had left Malaga Jungle behind. In just one night, the ship had covered the distance that Roy and Klayr had taken half a month to complete.

Castleton City The elf statue on the top of the mountain has appeared in sight.

At noon, the ship had already docked at the west dock of Castleton City.

Da Nei River The pier is very small, with only a fifty-meter-long stone step made of stones. The ship docked next to the stone step, and a group of people walked off the ship carrying their luggage.

Roy looked at the downstream of the Da Nei River and wanted to follow Da Nei River all the way home.

There were other boats by the river, and many elven students got off the boats tiredly, moving their bodies that were already stiff and numb.

Those small boats provide small seats, and you cannot move freely while the boat is moving. There are only five stopping points along the way for temporary rest, so riding on these small boats is still very tiring.

Roy walked off the ship carrying a heavy backpack. Before saying goodbye to Edith and the others, he saw two Elf Ranger walking up and standing in front of Roy and Klayr. They also wore silver masks on their heads, and only the blue eyes and chins could be seen inside.

"Are these two Klayr and Roy?" One of them, Elf Ranger, stared at Roy and asked.

Klayr asked a little strangely, "What do you want from us?"

One of them, Elf Ranger, said, "...Golden Tangerine The group of slave traders on the slave ship will be tried in Elder Council Tribunal in three days. Elder Council hopes that you can attend this trial as witnesses."

"We will participate in this trial, and we also look forward to those Slave Traders being punished as they should." Klayr said.

The two Elf Ranger looked at each other and then said:

"In this case, let's say goodbye!"

After saying that, the two Elf Ranger turned around and left the riverside pier.

"Did they... catch everyone so quickly?" Klayr whispered to Roy.

Edith came from behind and said casually to the two of them, "It should be that a large number of the Silver Pegasus Legion were dispatched to search and arrest at sea. This incident caused a great shock to Castleton City. Everyone believed that this was a problem with the city's peripheral defense. Elder Council needs to calm down these protests..."
