The fleet of griffins that took off from the ground in maple leaf city, soared across the skies, taking the students to the venue of Dabi in the silver moon college of Moonlight City. Ionas and Lu Heng were in an awkward position. The demonic beasts’ sensitivity were much greater that of human beings. No matter how much (Ionas) restrained his aura, he could at most get close to the Griffin. If he were to ride the Griffin, the poor Griffin would definitely be mortified.
Seeing fewer and fewer people, the accompanying teacher began to urge Lu Heng’s team to hurry up.
“Can’t we go to silver moon college by ourselves?” Lu Heng asked Edie in a low voice.
“There is no such precedent.” Edie shook his head. “Why, do you have something on the way?”
Fortunately, Saint Hugh came to Lu Heng’s aid. He said to the guide teacher, “I have to speak with Edie regarding some important matters. Their team will arrive with me later.”
In the end, Lu Heng and his party arrived at a mage’s Tower on the outskirts of Moonlight City directly through the transmission array of the crimson tower. Edie thought it was disconcerting. Saint Hugh didn’t say anything important to him at all. Was it just to send him by the teleportation array? It was unlikely. One ought to know, using a teleportation array cost several advanced demonic beast crystal cores. Without any emergency, even Saint Hugh would not use the transmission array.
However, Edie’s doubts went unanswered. Saint Hugh didn’t elaborate, and he dared not ask more. Anyway, my grandfather always does what he wants.
Moonlight City had a completely different style from a human city. The city, built entirely by elves, couldn’t be described with words. Every stone pillar was engraved with exquisite patterns. Every building was adorned with colorful glass. In every corner of the city, there were water fountains and small gardens with myriad patterns. Next to the fountains, one could often see the white elves playing the harp. If the white elves were not in a hurry, they would stop to listen for a while. If they were interested, they would often sing along with the music.
The whole Moonlight City was an epitome the elves’ sense of beauty.
The moonlight city was not open to human beings on normal days. It was such a gorgeous scene that Rhett, who was visiting for the first time, stood stunned.
“It’s a city built by elves and craftsmen. It’s too……” Rhett couldn’t find a word to describe the scene.
Before he had finished speaking, Rhett heard Edie sneer beside him. Although knowing that it wasn’t Eddie’s first time in this Moonlight City, Rhett was still puzzled: “Edie, don’t you like it? This moonlight city should be very in line with your aesthetic. ”
“I just don’t like white elves. Naturally, I find everything of them unpleasant.” Edie sneered.
Rhett enquired further, but Edie didn’t explain anymore. But they soon knew the reason.
“I feel today even the songs of birds and children are not as beautiful as they used to be. It turns out that people who are more disgusting than dragons have come to our Moonlight City.” A voice more beautiful than a lark’s song could be heard, but the disdain in that voice was not so beautiful. This gorgeous singing tone was sung in the common language in the mainland. It was clear that the owner of the voice was an elf.
“Clarice.” Edie barely got the name out of his gritted teeth.
A white elf with sharp ears jumped down from the tree beside the road. The appearance of the person, even among the elves who were famous for their looks, was very outstanding. He was slim and slender, and seemed to have been favored by the heavens.
“Why are you in this competition? Are there no outstanding talents in Maple Leaf College? I will send you as back as a defeated general again. ” Clarice raised his chin slightly and glanced at Edie from the corner of his eye.
In normal times, Eddie, who was always sharp tongued, would never be willing to suffer losses, but now instead of replying, the former pulled Rhett around and left with a look of disgust on his face.
It wasn’t until they reached hotel where Maple Leaf College was stationed that Edie let go of Rhett’s right arm.
“Who was that elf?” Rhett, who had been holding back all this time, could not help but ask about Edie’s passivity.
“A nuisance.” Edie dropped the sentence and the receptionist handed over the room key and he went straight upstairs.
