Chapter 517 518. Final Dance
In the city of Silver Moon Elf, various grand dances are held every year.
Castletown Elf Academy’s final dance is considered one of the favorite dances of many young elves. There are melodious sounds of music coming from the campus playground. Every year, the final dance is hosted by the music students of the college. Occasionally, students from the college are also invited to the final dance. The music teachers played a piece or two.
This year’s highlight is still the new work ‘Autumn Whispers’ performed by Wagner Clare, the man of the hour and Castletown’s youngest musician.
This piece was played at the Castletown Opera House half a month ago, and has recently become a trend in Castletown. It seems that it would be impossible not to discuss 'Autumn Whispers' at a party. It’s like knowing the trend.
Claire will also play this piece at the final dance this time. In addition, there are also two pieces: Song of the Eagle and Blue River Darne.
As dusk approached, the college grounds were already crowded with students attending dances.
After a while, there were still a large number of elves in formal clothes pouring in at the gate of the college. The huge college playground seemed a bit crowded. At this time, there were still a steady stream of carriages stopping at the gate of the college.
Looking at the surging crowd, there are a large number of outsiders mixed in with the crowd entering the playground. The college does not have so many students.
Moira wore a dark purple princess dress, a pair of semi-high-heeled lambskin dance shoes, and a delicate crystal hairpin on her head. Her long black hair hung down like a waterfall. Although her skin was a little gray, it was close to Blue-gray, slightly cold face.
A hand passed through Sabrina's arm, and she followed her sister into the college playground along the flow of people.
"Sabrina, this way..."
Amidst the noise, several best friends stood together and waved vigorously to Sabrina.
As the most outstanding sword dancer at Elf Academy, Sabrina is now considered one of the most popular figures in Castletown Elf Academy.
Sabrina wore a set of exquisite magic-patterned leather armor, and her two round long legs were tightly wrapped in tight leather pants and armor. The pattern carved on the long leather boots was consistent with the style of the constructed leather armor.
Even though she didn't have a sword on her waist, her upright figure gave many elves the impression of an unsheathed sword.
During this year, Sabrina used an extremely heavy ironwood training sword at the swordsmanship training ground and cut down countless elf students who dared to challenge her.
Originally, the elf students in the academy were accustomed to using wooden swords similar to elf long swords to practice sword skills.
But ever since Sabrina carried a heavy wooden sword and won first place in the sword fighting field for three consecutive months, the atmosphere in the entire sword training field has completely changed.
The elf sword is no longer the first choice for students to practice swordsmanship. Almost half of the elf students have begun to try to practice the heavy sword. There are also a small number of elf students who choose to use the thrust saber, trying to break Sabrina's heavy sword with the light sword style. sword.
Now Sabrina is the top student in the swordsman class at Elf Academy.
Compared to her sister Sabrina, Moira is inferior.
Under Miss Tiffany's guidance in the past few years, Moira, who was originally a bit autistic, has become a lot more cheerful. At least she no longer resists participating in college dances.
Moira felt that dressing up in a dark style would make her look more mature.
With black eyes, purple lips and a dark purple princess dress, she looks like a daughter of darkness.
But elves are all beauty-conscious. Facing the sweet and lovely Moira, her childish face can always arouse the protective desire in the male elves' hearts...
So even if Moira followed her sister with a straight face and walked into the playground of the Elf Academy, there were still many young elves who wanted to come over and extend a kind invitation to Moira...
But before those young elves could speak, they were frightened away by Sabrina's sharp eyes.
As a sword dancer who dominates the sword fighting arena all year round, there are few elf students in the academy who don't know Sabrina.
Sabrina is half a head taller than the average Silver Moon Elf. Her tall figure and fair skin given to her by her Wood Elf bloodline make her extremely dazzling among the elf students.
On the way to the ball, some elves who wanted to ask Moira to be their dance partner were frightened away by Sabrina.
There were also elf swordsmen who were training with Sabrina at the swordsmanship training ground. They mustered up the courage to come and invite Sabrina to dance with them, but they were also rejected by Sabrina's eyes.
Sabrina stood with a few of her best friends, chatting near the stage.
The elf students who are rejected by Sabrina will puff up their chests and say to their companions: "Look, no elf can invite Sabrina to dance with her!"
"She is the number one swordsman in the Elf Academy."
Talking about Sabrina, many elf students studying swordsmanship have a common topic.
"I heard from Instructor Vergil that Sabrina is the elf among our students who has the best chance of breaking through to the second level. Whether it is talent, understanding, or hard work, she is the best among our students."
"By the way, where did she learn her sword skills? What is it about the holy light that exudes all over her body? Under the light, I don't even dare to draw the sword. If I can also learn the kind of sword that can emit dazzling light, With the radiant sword style, I feel that I can stand at the highest position in the sword fighting arena.”
"I heard several Silver Moon elves say privately that it is the Dance of Radiance."
"I heard that the Dance of Radiance is the sword skill of the Ellington family, but Miss Edith doesn't seem to know much about it."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't you want to live if you talk about Miss Edith on such an occasion?"
"Look over there..."
…
Although she has successfully graduated from the academy, Miss Edith still often attends the Elf Academy final dance.
Now Miss Edith has officially joined the Princess Ophelia Guards. After graduating from the Elf Academy, she was promoted to the captain of the guard in just one year.
This time she caused a sensation as soon as she walked into the gate of Elf Academy. Miss Edith wore a silver armor and walked into the campus with several members of the escort team.
The fierce momentum caused the elf students blocking the gate to move away, leaving a path leading to the playground bandstand.
Miss Edith walked into the academy with a calm look on her face.
Even though she had graduated from the Elf Academy, the name Edith Ellington still caused many elves to actively retreat.
Along the way, it was basically some Silver Moon Elf noble students who came forward to say hello to Miss Edith, and then followed Miss Edith and walked together into the college playground. Soon the team gathered into a torrent.
The mixed-blood elf students in the college will take the initiative to get out of the way...
Sabrina and several of her best friends also moved aside along with the crowd. Sabrina's tall figure was extremely conspicuous in the crowd.
Miss Edith happened to pass by Sabrina. She turned to look at Sabrina, suddenly stopped, raised her head and said to Sabrina: "Sabrina..."
The moment Miss Edith spoke, the surrounding area immediately fell silent.
"Have you ever thought about what you want to do after graduation? If you don't have any plans, do you want to join us?"
Miss Edith's voice was clear.
She handed the invitation to Sabrina, and some elves around her immediately exclaimed in envy.
"ah……"
Everyone knows that Miss Edith is now the captain of the Princess Ophelia Guards, so naturally she invites Sabrina to join the Princess Guards.
Even several of her best friends are happy for Sabrina.
At this time, Sabrina looked at Miss Edith seriously: "Can you let me think about it?"
"certainly."
After Miss Edith finished speaking, she continued walking towards the band stage.
Many Silver Moon elves following Miss Edith would look at Sabrina curiously when passing by...
…
A soothing piece of music came from the bandstand.
Immediately afterwards, there was the first movement near the band stage.
Many elf students have already started dancing to the music. The free dance moves are like contagion, spreading out immediately.
Sabrina pulled Moira and gave her a 'please' gesture.
Moira smiled and bowed in response to her sister, placing her other hand on Sabrina's outstretched hand.
The two slowly rotated together to the soothing music...
…
At the same time, Roy and Woods also came to the gate of the Elf Academy.
Roy stopped at the alchemy workshop for a while in the afternoon, where large quantities of secondary life potions were being refined.
Since the magic herbs used to make potions are very common, this low-level life potion is the most cost-effective. After being refined in large quantities in the workshop, almost all of them are sold to the business groups of the Green Empire.
Roy came here to meet Claire after the ball and ask him to come forward to issue employment tasks to the mercenary union.
Woods didn't want to come, he was pulled over by Roy.
Roy was dumbfounded when he saw the crowds on the Elf Academy playground. If he had known there were so many people at the dance, he might as well have been hiding in the alchemy workshop.
"Why are there so many people?"
"The college's final dance has been like this for more than a year. Most of the outsiders came here just to hear Claire play. You may not be able to imagine how popular this guy is now." Woods chuckled.
"Forehead……"
The two of them followed the crowd and walked into the playground of the inner college.
Several mixed-race elf girls wearing magic robes saw Woods crowded in the crowd and immediately waved to Woods.
Although Woods was a little impatient, he took the initiative to lead Roy over.
"They are interning in the alchemy workshop. I think if they are encouraged, the alchemy workshop will be able to add at least one qualified potion master in less than a month!" Woods whispered to Roy.
A round-faced magical elf girl smiled and invited Woods to dance together.
Without waiting for Woods to refuse, he pulled Woods's sleeves and rushed into the dancing crowd. The magic robe was used as a dress. It really has a strong academic style.
Seeing that Woods couldn't get away for a while, Roy ignored Woods and squeezed toward the bandstand alone.
The other magical girls didn't recognize Roy and didn't talk to him...
There were many Silver Moon elves gathered in the area near the band stage.
Roy seemed a little out of place among the Silver Moon elves.
Many elf students in the college knew Roy, but no Silver Moon elf took the initiative to say hello to him.
Just when Roy was about to squeeze under the band stage, he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him:
"Roy, why are you here?"
Roy turned around with difficulty in the crowd...
Miss Christine left, walked behind Roy, patted him on the shoulder, and stared at him with a smile.
"Um, I'm here to see Claire." Roy said, "Are you back from the Queen Evenne Islands?"
"Now that the war on the Queen's Islands has come to an end, I will also take a vacation here in Castletown..."
Christine said with a smile, she is the daughter of Earl Swinburne, even if she joins the Silver Pegasus Legion, she seems to have endless vacations...
Christine glanced at the bandstand and told Roy: "Claire hasn't come yet, she will probably arrive later."
At this time, Roy discovered that there was a group of Silver Moon Elf friends standing behind Christine. Among these young Silver Moon Elfs, Jijilu stood at the back with a stern look on his face and did not come over to say hello to Roy. When he saw Roy Looking over, he just smiled reluctantly and nodded to Roy.
After Christine said hello to Roy, she invited Roy to join their small group.
Roy had no common language with these young Silver Moon Elf nobles, so he naturally declined politely.
He slowly walked to the buffet to the sound of melodious music.
Although there are only some fruit plates there, at least they are not too boring, and some of the fruits are quite good...
The buffet tables were in the four corners of the playground. Roy could only move slowly with the flow of people, and unknowingly came to the area where the mixed-blood elf students gathered.
Many mixed-blood elf students are dancing here, and some mixed-blood elf students are standing on the outside.
Although the Silver Moon Elf and Mixed Elf students were at the same dance, it was just because their living and social circles were completely separated, so even the dancing areas were separated.
Roy didn't plan to stop here originally. He also wanted to go to the buffet to get some berries to eat.
But just when he was about to leave, he saw a pair of familiar figures emerging from the dance floor, and Roy stopped quickly.
In the crowded crowd, Sabrina pulled Moira out of the dance floor, and Roy squeezed towards them.
Sabrina was slightly startled when she saw Roy.
She pulled Moira next to her and pointed towards Roy's location...
Moira turned around and saw Roy trying to squeeze towards her. She was so surprised that she quickly covered her mouth, and her big eyes blinked.
Seeing Roy coming over, Moira asked him excitedly:
"Roy, are you here to pick us up?"
Roy promised Moira and Sabrina that when the semester ends, a supply ship will be arranged to take them to Partington Island immediately. Today happens to be the last day of the semester.
Moira was so happy to see Roy keeping his promise so much.
Of course, Roy couldn't say that he came back this time specifically to find strong support from the mercenary union. He could only rub his nose and said: "I came to Castletown to do some errands, and I will take you there by the way. …”
Moira stood in front of Roy and smiled naively.
Sabrina was not as cute as Moira. Seeing Roy's expression, she asked, "How is the situation at Sun Island Bay?"
"The situation may be a little more difficult than I imagined." Roy said tactfully.
"Don't worry, Sabrina and I will go over to help you right away, Roy..."
Moira said very optimistically.
The look she cast on Roy clearly conveyed, 'Let's dance! ’
Of course Roy would not refuse Moira.
Take a step forward.
"Beautiful Miss Moira, can I dance with you?" Roy bowed and handed his hand to Moira.
With a bright smile on her face, Moira happily placed her hand in Roy's.
To the sound of soft music, the two quickly slipped onto the crowded dance floor.
Sabrina stood quietly next to the dance floor, pursed her lips, and kept her eyes moving slowly along the two figures...
