Path of light

Chapter 262 263. Return

The carriage stopped on the side of Padstow City's central square. At this time, it was still the interval from Padstow City to Partington Island.

Some flatbed trucks filled with supplies were being pushed into the portal one after another by the mixed elves.

Padstow City is the only place in the entire Partington plane connected to the Elf Continent. Almost every once in a while, a large amount of materials will be transported into the Elf Continent.

The central square is not far from the Tree of Life, and the surrounding treehouses are filled with Silver Moon elves.

Although there are very few Silver Moon elves in Padstow City, the Silver Moon elves still have some special treatment. For example, when they pass through the portal, they do not need to wait in line with the mixed-blood elves.

Under the leadership of instructor Nora, the members of the adventure group jumped out of the carriage one after another, and everyone came to the portal.

Instructor Eleanor took the teleportation voucher from Instructor Nora, walked to the elf guard without saying a word, and handed the teleportation voucher to the elf guard...

Seeing that more than half of the team were Silver Moon elves, the elf guard didn't even look at the teleportation voucher carefully and let the group pass through the teleportation gate.

…

Roy walked into the magic vortex again, only to feel that the vortex-shaped channel in front of him was shrouded in a large amount of thick fog, and some electric arcs were scurrying back and forth around it.

As for traveling across planes, some elves will have a strong reaction when crossing space. Some elves will feel no different from walking normally. Roy has some slight dizziness reactions.

When he walked out of the portal, he felt a little dizzy and needed to stand there for a while before he could recover.

The adventure map returned to Partington Island successfully, and everyone's faces showed a relaxed look.

This time, even Woods was brought back by instructor Nora.

There was no way he could continue to stay in Padstow.

Instructor Nora led everyone away from the central square of Partington Town.

"Don't worry, I will arrange for people to wait in Fountain Square until they see your elders."

Instructor Nora comforted Woods, and then she said:

"Woods, come back to Castleton City with us. Padstow City is completely rotten from top to bottom, and it is equally unsafe to live in the town of Partington."

Woods was not the kind of stubborn person who would not listen to advice. He lowered his head and thought carefully for a while, and then readily agreed:

"Oh, okay, I'll go to Castletown with you to stay for a while. This time it's really troublesome for you."

"You have also helped us a lot. We are all friends, so there is no need to be so polite!"

Instructor Nora patted Woods on the head and encouraged him.

The adventure group stayed on Partington Island for one night and then hurried back to Castletown.

…

Every other day from Partington Island there is a sailing ship sailing to Castletown.

Instructor Nora took everyone back to Castletown by boat, and the journey was uneventful.

Entering the city of Castletown in January, the cold wind blowing from the frozen sea has completely disappeared, and the sea is calm...

It wasn't until the sailboat sailed into Castletown Harbor that Instructor Nora, standing on the deck, took a long breath and relaxed completely.

Roy knew that the adventure group's encounter in Padstow City put a lot of pressure on several instructors...

He and Woods stood on the bow of the ship, holding on to the railing, pointing to the stranded ship under the seaside castle, and said to Woods:

"Look over there, that big ship is mine."

"Oh my God, Roy, you have such a big sailboat!"

Woods said with envy in his eyes.

At this time, his eyes were already a little tired. This place was several times more lively than Padstow City. The entire city was built on a hillside, with countless buildings stacked on top of each other. There was also a huge elf statue on the top of the mountain.

Woods was dazzled by everything here.

The sailboat docks at the deep-water pier. Passengers on the deck get off the ship first, and then workers on the pier quickly board the ship to carry the materials on the ship.

After disembarking, the adventure group disbanded on the spot.

Instructor Nora was originally going to take Woods away, but Roy said Woods could stay and live with him.

Woods readily agreed to Roy's proposal...

So Roy led Woods through the pier. When passing the fish market, many stall owners greeted Roy warmly.

Woods held his nose with one hand and whispered to Roy: "Roy, there are so many elves who know you."

"Yeah, my family lives on that street."

After Roy finished speaking, he pointed to Brown Street at the end.

…

Roy stopped at the gate of the Temple of Liberty and saw that the guard room at the gate of the temple was empty, and it seemed very quiet inside the temple.

Roy felt a little guilty when he thought that during the two months he was away from Castletown, High Priest Reed had presided over Wednesday gatherings alone in the temple.

After pushing open the door of the temple, Roy led Woods into the vestibule of the Temple of Liberty.

Entering the dry season, only one-third of the water in the fountain in the courtyard is left, and the Statue of Liberty also looks like it has some signs of dryness.

After bypassing the fountain, Roy came to the door of the main hall and happened to see High Priest Reed walking out of it.

"teacher!"

Roy quickly saluted High Priest Reed.

But High Priest Reed set his sights on Woods.

"Your friend?"

Roy talked about what happened to Woods, the arrogant slave traders in Padstow City, and the despicable elf guards...

High Priest Reed sighed and said to himself: I didn't expect that the elf world would become so decadent.

He then explained to Roy: In fact, there are thoughts of suppressing mixed-blood elves everywhere. Although the main messenger behind them is the Silver Moon Elf, in many cases, it is not the Silver Moon Elf who is doing these things.

Instead, some mixed-blood elves took action against their own compatriots in order to gain recognition from the Silver Moon elves.

press,

cheat,

harm,

They are so shameless that they have to sell the bone marrow oil they squeeze out from those humble mixed elves...

"No matter where you are, this kind of thing happens." High Priest Reed said helplessly.

He brought Roy and Woods into the study room, and the three of them sat at the round table and chatted.

"Then what are we going to do?" Roy asked reluctantly.

High Priest Reed thought for a moment and then said: "We must keep in our hearts: courage, justice, mercy, and kindness."

"Courage, justice, mercy, kindness... I think I can do it." Woods listened carefully.

Seeing the honest look on his face, High Priest Reed actually said to Roy: "Roy, if your friend hasn't found a place to live yet, he can temporarily stay in the Temple of Liberty."

"Okay, teacher." This is what Roy was waiting for. Now Woods finally has a place to live.

It's not that he doesn't want to take Woods home, it's just that his home currently only has two bedrooms, and he can't let Woods sleep in the living room or on the terrace.

"Teacher, is there any news from Golfito headquarters?" Roy wanted to inquire about the current situation at the Temple of Liberty.

High Priest Reed said casually: "The second expeditionary force has entered the dark land, and the third expeditionary force has begun to gather. Maybe the Temple of Liberty in Castletown is at the end of the queue and has not received the transfer order yet."

This may be one of the few things that bothers High Priest Reed.

So he didn't want to talk anymore, so he turned the topic to Roy and asked him:

"Roy, what did you gain from this trip to the Partington plane?"

Talking about this, Roy also seemed very energetic.

"Teacher, I am now a seventh-level trainee priest, and I found this." As he said that, he took out the leather bag hanging on the back of his butt.

He took out a pot of flowers from his pocket and placed it on the round table.

High Priest Reed looked at it carefully for a long time before asking with some uncertainty:

"Withered flower of light?"

Roy nodded quickly and then explained:

"Woods said that although this flower of light is dead, its flower seeds have matured and are now in the dormant period. If you want them to germinate quickly, they must be stimulated. When I prayed, this flower of light was right for me. I have some help, so I’m going to try and grow some.”

Woods sat aside and said: "This light-loving plant is very delicate. They need sunlight but cannot be exposed to the sun. They need to be carefully cared for."

The three chatted for a while, and after High Priest Reed left, Roy began to settle in Woods' residence.

The row of rooms in the backyard of the temple were almost empty. Roy chose a cleaner room, and Woods stayed here temporarily.

Woods was also very satisfied with the environment of the Statue of Liberty, so he happily lived in the dormitory.

Then Roy left the Temple of Liberty alone and walked toward home...

…

When I returned home, I found that the lights on the second floor were actually on, and Ms. Belinda was actually at home...

Entering the living room, Ms. Belinda from upstairs ran out of the studio.

The leather apron she wore was covered in dust. As soon as she rushed downstairs, she gave Roy a big hug.

Ms. Belinda was still the same. She pressed Roy's shoulders with both hands and babbled:

"Roy, you've grown a lot taller..."

"Roy, what do you eat every day over there?"

"Roy, are the monsters everywhere in the Partington plane?"

Roy took Ms. Belinda to sit on the sofa in the living room and briefly told some about the trip. He knew that Ms. Belinda must listen, so he didn't even bother to take a shower and started to take care of Belinda. Ms. Da talks about her travel experience:

Hunt the wind fox, hunt the dire wolf, hunt the gryphon...

Roy prepared several interesting stories, which made Ms. Belinda's eyes brighten and she said excitedly:

"After all these years, I didn't know that the Partington plane was so interesting. I must go there if I have the chance..."
