Invitation

The Seventh Group, responsible for recounting this history, finished the first half of the lesson and returned to their seats amidst enthusiastic applause.

Clearly, Seventh Group had spent a great deal of time researching this history. They didn't focus on the Battle of Castleton Harbour, but instead carefully studied Bernice's glorious life, telling a poignant love story during the war.

This is nothing short of poison for elves who love romantic love.

As the members of Seventh Group returned to their seats, the students sitting on the edge of the aisle stood up to pay tribute to the ten members.

Princess Ophelia walked onto the stage while clapping.

The scene was very lively...

Edith took the opportunity to switch seats with her best friend and suddenly sat next to Roy. Although her eyes were fixed on the podium, she quietly asked Roy, "Roy, do you know Danser.Simpson?"

"Captain Simpson? He helped me twice."

Roy lowered his head and answered softly.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

Edith rolled her eyes and said to Roy:

"He is my swordsmanship teacher. I only found out yesterday that you two actually know each other."

After exchanging a few casual words, Roy recalled Countess Amelia's unusual reaction when he mentioned the name Yudora at Ellington Castle, and asked Edith:

Edith, do you know Madam Yidula?

Edith frowned, and one of her best friends whispered something in Edith ear.

Edith then asked in confusion:

"You mean... the Blood Elf female pirate who was sent to the trial two weeks ago?"

Roy nodded and asked again, "Well, have you heard of her name before?"

"No."

Edith answered with absolute certainty.

"Oh..."

Then, Edith whispered:

"Roy, this is the perfect season for a boat trip. We're planning to go out to sea this weekend. Can you come?"

Roy hesitated for a moment.

Edith's social circle consists almost entirely of Elven Nobles from the Upper District. She is willing to befriend a Half-Elf, but that doesn't mean the Silver Moon Elf around her will accept it.

Roy asked in a low voice, "Um, would it be inconvenient if I went?"

Edith blinked; she hadn't expected Roy to ask that.

"This gathering is for students from the Elf Academy. You and Klayr can come together," Edith said to Roy.

She first noticed Roy because he knew Princess Ophelia...

In fact, the reason she is willing to contact Roy now is largely due to Princess Ophelia's continued attention to Roy.

Now she discovers that Ms. Simpson also knows Roy...

That's why Roy was invited to the party.

This was the first time Roy had received an invitation to a party, and since Edith didn't seem to mind, Roy was still curious to experience this kind of small gathering.

"Okay!"

Roy readily agreed.

On Wednesday morning, Roy waited for Klayr at the college gate.

I told him about Edith's invitation to go boating on the weekend.

Klayr readily agreed...

Recently, Klayr has become a well-known figure at the Elf Academy.

Every day he encounters Silver Moon Elf who want to get to know him, and he even receives perfumed letters every day.

Roy often saw that Klayr was always accompanied by different kinds of Silver Moon Elf girls.

Klayr was very supportive when she heard that Roy was going to attend the gathering of young elves.

He put his arm around Roy's shoulder and said to Roy:

"If you ask me... you should have attended more of these kinds of gatherings a long time ago. As long as you live in Castleton City, you can't leave this circle."

As the two walked toward the Training Ground, several elves greeted Klayr warmly along the way.

Klayr kept her hand raised, and she hardly lowered it the rest of the way.

"You don't need to be friends with every elf, but you must be known by everyone!" Klayr said to Roy.

This is Klayr's perspective; many of his views and habits about life were instilled in him by his sister Beryl.

Then Klayr lowered her voice so much that she almost pressed her mouth to Roy's ear and whispered to him:

"Roy, have you heard any more sounds of nature lately?"

Roy pushed Klayr away forcefully, trying to get him away from him.

The elves admire art and love music.

Klayr played "The Blue Da Nei River" in a music appreciation class, which caused a sensation throughout the entire Elf Academy.

Recently, he has been following Roy's advice and trying to listen to the sounds of nature every day. After trying for more than a month, Klayr finally realized one thing: there are different talents among the elves.

Klayr thought her pointed ears were beautiful, but they were obviously less practical than Roy's ears.

For so long, he had not seen the symphony of nature that Roy had described.

Roy glanced at Klayr and noticed that his eyes were a little dark, indicating that he hadn't been sleeping well lately.

Hearing Klayr ask that question, I knew he might have been trying his hand at creative work lately, and perhaps my misguided guidance had made my friend a little self-doubting...

Roy thought for a moment and whispered, "You know what... when we were studying modern history yesterday, my classmates told me about the glorious life of Lady Bernice, and last night I actually heard a rather poignant piece of music."

"You heard that again?" Klayr's eyes widened as she grabbed Roy's shoulders with both hands and said excitedly.

"How about we go listen to it together tonight? It's on the beach below the Seaside Castle in Castleton Harbour. I'll let you try my grilled fish then."

Roy said to Klayr.

Klayr seemed particularly excited and immediately agreed...

"OK!"

After the gathering at the Goddess of Freedom Temple ended, Abbott couldn't wait to slip out of the temple gates.

Roy and Jasper were left to clean the Main Hall.

As Jasper moved the bench around, he complained to Roy, "Abbott has completely gone mad. When he sleeps at night, he recites the names of the islands in the Endless Sea in his dreams, and sometimes he suddenly sits up in bed and lets out a string of silly laughs."

"He's driving me to the brink of a nervous breakdown..."

Roy said speechlessly, "If you ask me, you should just give him half of the Treasure Map!"

Jasper said indignantly, "How could that be? I guess he's trying to put some pressure on me. I'll see what he's up to!"

Roy was looking down, cleaning up the trash on the floor...

After finishing all the work at the Goddess of Freedom Temple and filling the Holy Water Pool with well water, the two left the Goddess of Freedom Temple and arrived at the port.

Roy bought some fresh seafood at the Fish Market, while Jasper bought some freshly squeezed juice and wine.

Upon arriving at the seaside on the west side of the harbor, they saw Klayr already waiting in the small square. He was standing next to a carriage, gazing into the distance at the Black Pearl.

Roy, carrying a bucket, stood on the dock and waved vigorously at Klayr.

The three of them gathered together and went directly to the Black Pearl.

Klayr stood on the deck and asked Roy with a hint of envy, "So, this huge ship now belongs to the three of you?"

Jasper stood beneath the mainmast and introduced Klayr:

"Yes, it was identified as an abandoned shipwreck as soon as it was salvaged from the deep waters of the port. At that time, the whole ship was covered in silt, all the windows and doors were broken and tattered, there was a big hole in the bottom of the ship, and the cabin was full of smelly mud."

"The main problem is that the entire ship was almost crammed with vengeful spirits and ghosts. If we hadn't cleared them out in time, these vengeful spirits and ghosts might have already come out and disturbed the people."

"At that time, the ship had become a ghost ship..."

"We used some of our savings to clean the ship little by little and repair it, which is why it looks like this now."

Standing on the deck and looking at the ship, you'll realize that it is indeed very large.

Roy set up a barbecue grill at the bow of the boat, on which, in addition to grilled fish, there was also grilled pineapple.

This obsession with cooking food with fire was almost etched into Roy's bones.

After a simple dinner, Roy and Klayr went up to the roof of the Ship Building and sat on a bench there, enjoying the sea breeze.

Jasper climbed up the mainmast to the Lookout Platform and gazed alone at the distant sea.

Having received no word from Miss Tiffany for over two months, Jasper initially waited at the bow of the ship, then on the top of the Ship Building, and now on the Lookout Platform ...

Behind me was Seaside Castle, and as the sun set into the sea, the castle slowly disappeared into the shadows.

The sound of waves crashing against the rocks on the beach echoed.

The tide is coming in, and occasionally you can hear the clanging and banging of ships entering the harbor...

Klayr didn't hear anything about Lady Bernice's voice...

If you could hear it, that would be quite frightening.

Roy, however, held onto the railing with both hands, facing the dark Seaside Castle, his eyes closed as he faced the sea breeze blowing from the side.

He raised his hands and pushed two faint, Divine Light into the air above his head. With the sea breeze, the two lights drifted away from the Black Pearl and flew towards the Seaside Castle behind it.

Klayr was completely confused, but then she heard Roy hum a beautiful melody.

' The Butterfly Lovers '...

Klayr's eyes followed the two faint lights, and in her mind, it was as if two little elves were dancing around the Seaside Castle, flying all the way to the Spring of Life.

He even forgot to take out his notebook to write down the beautiful melody.

Only after Roy finished humming the beautiful melody did Klayr slump back on the bench, looking utterly dejected, and say:

"Roy, why can't I hear you..."

Roy turned his head, opened his eyes, and asked Klayr:

"So... did you write it down?"

"Uh, not yet!" Klayr quickly pulled out the sheet music from her Magic Pouch and said to Roy:

"Roy, could you hum it again?"
