300 Ball

"Roy, your letter!"

Early in the morning, the postman rode his horse to the front of Roy's house, took a letter from his bag, and handed it to Roy inside the courtyard.

Roy was on his way to school when he ran into the postman at his doorstep.

Roy felt a warmth in his heart as he tore open the envelope and saw the name of High Priest Reed at the bottom.

"Roy, I have received your letter. Everything is going well for me in Gorfito. The mages of the Astrologer's Guild have repaired the portal to the Dark Land. We will be heading there next month to search for the Goddess of Freedom Dark Land. The first two advance teams have already found important clues. This time, we will follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and spread the seeds of light in the Dark Land."

I heard you've already mastered Holy Light Art, Wisdom Blessing, and Hammer of Punishment. I'll list a few points to keep in mind when drawing the Hammer of Sanction rune below...

High Priest Reed's handwriting on the Seagrass Paper remained meticulous, but the contents of the letter did nothing to cheer Roy up.

The Goddess of Freedom Temple in Castleton has been closed for three years. However, due to the destruction of the portal in Gorfito by Dark Creatures, the third Expeditionary Force has been stuck in Gorfito for three years.

Fortunately, the Church of Goddess of Freedom Temple had accumulated enough wealth that the large number of Priest remaining in Gorfito City were not affected at all.

The only problem is that the two advance armies that went out to fight are stuck in the Dark Land and have been unable to get supplies from Gorfito City for the past three years.

Now that High Priest Reed is finally setting off with the Expeditionary Force, Roy is still quite worried.

In Roy's heart, he hoped that the portal to another time would never be repaired.

He wasn't a believer in the Statue of Goddess of Freedom, so naturally he didn't care much about whether the Goddess lived or died...

The asylum that the Silvermoon Elven Council of Elders had promised to establish was still under construction. Every time Roy passed by the gates of the Goddess of Freedom Temple, Roy would see that the temple's courtyard was already overgrown with vines and weeds.

Roy stood against the wall, intently reading High Priest Reed's letter.

"Roy, Tiffany, and Woods are already waiting at the Cross Street Intersection, let's hurry up and get going..."

Moira, dressed in a brown, Spike-tailed Crystal Lion Leather Armor and with Thrust Sabre hanging from her belt, stood gracefully at the entrance next door, greeting Roy.

"They're here..."

Roy folded the letter in his hand, put it in his breast pocket, and followed Moira toward the street corner.

Moira recently got a short, ear-length haircut, which is quite unusual for an elf girl, but it makes her look much fresher and more lively...

The reason she cut her hair was that she ranked second in the final exam for martial arts class this semester.

Moira thought the ponytail was affecting her movements, so she cut her hair short.

There was something Roy didn't tell her: the Silver Moon Elf came in first place in the martial arts assessment was a member of the Wellington Family, Edith.Wellington. Roy had seen that guy twice at Edith's ball; he was a very proud young elf, who, although he appeared polite, had an undeniable arrogance in his bones.

Moira has changed a lot in the past two years. Her round face, which used to be a bit chubby, has now become an oval face.

She not only grew a little taller, but also became slimmer, which was probably related to her practice of assassin's martial arts.

Miss Tiffany, wearing a long Sharkscale Dress and carrying two magic books, waved to Moira, who had just come out of her house, from afar...

The Long Carriage, arriving late, stopped at the Cross Street Intersection. Miss Tiffany and Moira boarded first, and then Woods ran out of Mrs. Mrs. Winnie's Potion Shop and squeezed into the carriage before the doors closed, then sat down with Roy.

A year ago, Mrs. Winnie discovered that there was a druid boy on Brown Street who was an expert in herbalism. After three days of persuasion, she finally convinced Woods to work part-time at her Potion Shop. Now Woods is the head Potion Master at the Potion Shop and is also in charge of taking care of the big black cat. Roy thinks that Mrs. Winnie's investment has been incredibly profitable...

Roy has his final exam in astrology this morning.

Having studied astrology for three whole years, he knew that if he failed the exam, he would have to spend another three years retaking the course, so he was well prepared this time.

Tiffany and Moira will also have to take the Landscape Art exam.

"Woods, did you ask Mrs. Winnie for leave?"

The Long Carriage moved slowly forward, the scenery outside the window constantly changing. Roy asked Woods, who was sitting next to him.

"It's all arranged, and I've already made a batch of magic potions these past few days, enough for the Potion Shop to sell for two months. Mrs. Winnie even asked me to help her bring some back from Padesto City!" Woods said happily.

Roy rolled his eyes, inwardly thinking that Mrs. Winnie too calculating.

I was tense all morning.

After finishing his astrology final exam, Roy stepped out of the classroom and dared to stand in the corridor, holding onto the railing, and take a deep breath of fresh air towards the lush green courtyard.

If I had known that astrology required memorizing so many star charts, I would never have considered studying it in the first place; it's just too grueling...

A group of elf students walked out of the examination hall one after another, and everyone was talking about the exam.

Roy was also among a group of Half-Elf, casually chatting.

Arriving at the college gate, Roy waited for Woods, Moira, and Miss Tiffany to go home together.

Klayr emerged from the Elf Academy, surrounded by a group of Silver Moon Elf students.

Klayr is like this no matter where she goes...

Including this year, he has received the title of 'Outstanding Musician of Castleton City ' for three consecutive years.

At the beginning of the year, he also held a concert at the Castleton Theatre.

Klayr spotted Roy through the crowd and immediately stopped, but he couldn't bring himself to approach him.

Because no matter where he went, the group of elves would move in parallel around him, and he didn't want to end up like last time, almost pushing Roy against the wall...

"Roy, want to go to the opera house together?" Klayr waved vigorously at Roy and shouted at the top of her lungs.

Roy waved his hand and replied, "I have some things to do this afternoon, you guys go ahead."

Klayr continued, "See you at the ball tonight!"

Roy gave an 'OK' sign and replied loudly, "Got it."

Then, a group of young elves escorted Klayr away.

The Silver Moon Elf worship musicians and artists, but Roy never imagined they would be so fanatical; it felt like they were a group of fervent believers...

Castleton is still the same as it was three years ago, but Roy has become a mid-level student at the Silvermoon Elf Academy and has his own social circle.

Instructor Nora came out of the academy and saw Roy leaning against the wall. She stopped, walked up to Roy, and said, "Roy, I heard you've formed an Adventure Group and are preparing to go to the Pattington Plane for training?"

Roy quickly stood up straight and bowed to Instructor Nora.

As Roy's mentor in close combat skills, Instructor Nora provided him with a great deal of help behind the scenes.

It's no exaggeration to say that Roy often resembled Instructor Nora during battles...

"Yes, we'll leave tomorrow... We'll go to Padesto City first, and then stop in Rampart Town for a few days," Roy said honestly.

Instructor Nora asked curiously, "Are we going to explore the Blackwater Swamp?"

Instructor Nora asked this question because the route Roy described happened to be suitable for going to the Blackwater Swamp.

Without a second thought, Roy shook his head in denial.

"Not this time. We don't have the ability to deal with the Venomous Horned Black Serpent and the Dragon Fly yet. This time we plan to go west along the Griffon Mountain Range. If possible, we would like to go to the Pagisto Plateau."

Roy had a very clear understanding of his newly formed Adventure Group, and he didn't want to do anything reckless on their first adventure.

Hearing Roy say that, Instructor Nora breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded, and patted him on the shoulder:

"No matter what, please be careful."

"I will, Instructor Nora!"

Instructor Nora chatted with Roy for a while before leaving.

Roy saw that Instructor Eleanor, Instructor Virgil, and Instructor Gru were already waiting across the street. These three instructors had some disagreement about Roy's departure from the team, so they usually tried to avoid seeing him at the academy.

Ever since the Rebel Army in Pattington Plane accepted the peace talks, the Rampart Town in Pattington Plane has been plagued by troubles, with minor clashes frequently occurring Half-Elf populace and the Silver Moon Elf administrators.

Although the new Rampart Town has been built, its management is extremely chaotic.

Roy still wears the governor's hat and spends almost every two holidays in Rampart Town mediating various disputes...

The instructors didn't want to spend all their holidays in the Pattington Plane, Roy couldn't join them on plane trips every year during his holidays, so Roy officially left the Elf Academy Adventure Group last year, which the instructors fully understood.

Their dissatisfaction with Roy stems from the fact that Sabrina and Woods also officially announced their withdrawal from the Elf Academy's Adventure Group last month.

They had barely left the Elf Academy Adventure Group when they quickly Roy Roy's newly formed Adventure Group.

Roy's Adventure Group has a name: Sakarram.

The current members are six: Roy, Sabrina, Moira, Woods, Tiffany, and Klayr.

After Roy met Woods at the academy gate, the two ran to a Trading Company next to the Central Square of Castleton City and bought some fine hemp thread, some skinning knives, and hoes and sickles for collecting Magic Herbs. In addition, they bought some sodium sulfate for tanning leather and several other solvents.

Roy purchased these supplies according to a list.

"Did we really have to buy this much?" Woods looked at the huge pile of supplies and was a little worried.

Roy put some loose supplies directly into his Magic Pouch, while the rest of the supplies were arranged with the merchant manager to be delivered to the docks of Castleton Harbour the next morning.

"Roy, are we going to transport these supplies to Rampart Town?" Woods asked in a low voice.

"Yes... but don't worry, once the goods arrive at the dock, we just need to figure out how to load them onto the ship, then get to Pattington Island, hire a carriage to transfer to Padesto City, and find any carriage shop in the city to rent a carriage to transport them to Padesto. Alternatively, we can entrust it to a caravan to transport them to Rampart Town; it won't cost much either," Roy explained to Woods in a low voice.

Woods finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Roy present a complete transportation plan.

"Let's hurry up, we have the school dance tonight. Didn't you say last time that you secretly liked a Half-Elf girl? You could ask her to dance and see if you have a chance..."

Roy talked as he walked.

"I never said that..."

Woods muttered to himself, but his pace didn't slow down at all.

"Do you want me to tell you that girl's name?"

Roy chuckled...

At the end of each semester, the Elf Academy holds a ball.

This ball is open only to students of the Elf Academy. However, due to the large number of students at the Elf Academy, each ball is very large in scale, and the Dance Floor can only be set up on the lawn in front of the main Teaching Building of the academy.

In recent years, the Elf Academy's End-of-Term Ball has become even more famous because Wagner Klayr, the youngest musician in Castleton City, plays piano pieces at the ball.

There were two pieces the year before last, three pieces last year, and it is said that there will be at least three piano pieces this year.

This kind of free concert is something many elves dream of.

When Roy and Woods arrived at the college, many students had already gathered on the playground.

Roy wasn't wearing a formal suit, so he and Woods found a secluded spot and put on their Magic Inscription Construct.

Wearing leather Magic Inscription Construct to a ball is barely acceptable...

A soothing melody drifted over, and Roy and Woods mingled into the lively crowd. The elven girls wore beautiful long dresses, their faces lightly made up, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin, and the air was filled with the scent of flowers and perfume.

Roy and Woods finally found Tiffany and Moira, Miss Tiffany was soon invited to dance by an elf student.

Moira stood excitedly at the edge of the lawn, her hands gripping the railing, peering into the Dance Floor...

She has really changed a lot in the past few years. The Half-Elf girl who used to be somewhat withdrawn and didn't like to interact with strange elves can now actually participate in such a lively ball...

What Moira was even more excited about was that she could finally go on a dimensional adventure with everyone, and Ms. Jillian had personally agreed.

The highlight of the ball was Klayr's appearance on the band. With the band's accompaniment, Klayr played three pieces in a row, instantly bringing the atmosphere of the ball to its peak.

Moira's face turned red from the ball atmosphere, but she would never dare to go dancing on the Dance Floor.

Even Miss Tiffany's encouragement couldn't help...

Roy didn't mind, but when Ms. Edith came over to greet him, he asked her to dance.

Suddenly, some chaos broke out in the crowded Dance Floor. Many of the dancing elf students stopped and rushed to one particular area.

Roy and Moira watched the commotion from the edge of the Dance Floor, unaware of what was happening and with no intention of joining in.

Just then, Woods suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Roy's arm, and ran towards the crowd, saying as he ran:

"Roy, hurry over there, Sabrina's in trouble..."
