Path of light

Chapter 321 322. Lysander’s letter

One hundred and thirty-five sets of chainmail, standard long swords, and alloy bows were delivered in the hotel.

When Roy placed the boxes of weapons and armor in the tree house, the wooden boxes filled two rooms.

Seeing so many weapons and armors, Lambo's heart that had been hanging around for the past few days was finally relieved.

He couldn't help but let out a low cry, stepped forward, hugged Roy, reached out and patted him on the back, and said, "Roy, thank you, thank you for helping us."

"My friend, don't say that. We just completed a mutually beneficial transaction. These magic herbs brought us a fortune." Roy whispered to Lambeau.

Lambo's eyes lit up, thinking of the possibility of everyone continuing to cooperate. With Roy's support, the mixed elves on the plateau would have the confidence to resist those elven headhunters.

Lysander pried open the lid of a wooden box. The chainmail inside was actually covered with a thin layer of oiled paper. Although the chainmail didn't look so exquisite, it was strong and durable enough.

Lysander grabbed a piece of chain mail, pulled out a dagger and stabbed it hard in the abdomen. The dagger drew a string of sparks on the chain mail, but only left a shallow mark.

He opened another different wooden box, which contained rows of exquisite long swords. Although there was no magic flow on the long swords, they still seemed to be of very good quality.

Although the scabbard was very ordinary, Lysander pulled out a long sword from the scabbard, and the smooth mirror-like blade clearly reflected Lysander's face.

Lambeau dug out a silver alloy bow from another wooden box. He touched the metal wire bowstring with his hand and found that the bowstring of this bow was very sharp. I heard that archers can use it in close combat. The bow that strangles the opponent is probably this kind of bow.

"It's actually a metal short bow. The elves don't have such craftsmanship." Lambo sighed softly.

Lysander frowned at this time and said silently: "But how are we going to bring these weapons and armor to the Pagisto Plateau? The argali we brought here this time cannot transport so much supplies."

The wooden boxes all over the house are indeed not something that the argali sheep in the backyard can transport away.

The Padstow Plateau is so far away from Padstow City that a round trip takes at least about a month and a half.

Roy was reluctant to take out the magic belt given to him by High Priest Reed. Faced with the problem in front of Lysander, he could not ignore it. Roy also hoped that the herbal trade could continue, so he ran to the courtyard of the hotel. Talk to other people in the adventure group.

Before Woods and Miss Tiffany returned from their trip, Sabrina and Moira were sitting in the lounge area of ​​the lobby on the first floor of the hotel chatting.

Roy walked over with some embarrassment and explained the problem Lysander was facing now.

The two women looked at each other, and Sabrina asked proactively: "Roy, what are you going to do? Do you want to give them two magic fanny packs?"

"I plan to give them the magic pockets in your hands, and I'll give you two new ones when I return to Castletown City," Roy said.

Sabrina and Moira happily took off the magic belt bag and handed it to Roy.

"Are you sure you can get more rewards by giving them two magic pockets? Or have you never thought about asking them to repay you?"

"I plan to start the trade of magic herbs. They have sufficient supply, and we only need to transport these magic herbs out of the Partington plane to make huge profits. This is definitely a sure profit. Business," Roy explained to Sabrina.

Sabrina put the two magic belts into Roy's hands and said, "Take them."

Roy gave two magic belts to Lysander, and together with the argali they brought, they could barely transport the goods.

Woods brought back some heat-relieving herbs and cooked a large pot of medicinal soup for these argali sheep to drink. These argali sheep recovered quickly...

The Elf Academy was about to start, and Roy had no plans to stay in Padstow City. Lysander and the others left Padstow City in the evening, with a business license signed by Earl Swinburne, and the elf guards in the city readily let them go. .

Lysander and Rambo, one in front and one behind, led a group of argali sheep and quickly disappeared into the jungle outside the city.

Seeing that they had successfully left Padstow City, Roy was relieved...

…

Watching Lysander's argali team disappear into the dusk, Woods couldn't help but ask:

"Roy, you just ordered another batch of magic herbs with Lysander?"

Roy turned around and led everyone towards the city.

They had to rush back to Castletown overnight and didn't want to delay in Padstow.

The city of Padstow seemed very quiet at night, and the occasional sound of a harp added a gentle color to the quiet night.

Roy said to Woods: "Of course, those two magic belts cannot be given to him for free. Since we want to do the magic herbal business, we must have a cheap and stable supply, and Lysander is our supply."

Hearing Roy talking about 'source of supply', Woods blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Actually, when Tiffany and I just went out to buy summer-relieving herbs, we discovered that there are also many cheap low-level magic herbs for sale in the magic herbal shops in the city. The prices are really very low..."

Roy suddenly became interested and said to Woods: "Take me to have a look. If possible... we will bring back a batch of low-level magic herbs this time."

Miss Tiffany hesitated and asked: "Roy, do you think there is a market for low-level magic herbs? I heard that they are only used by magic pharmacist apprentices."

Roy said confidently: "What do you think is the reason... that makes that merchant ship travel thousands of miles to the Elf Continent to purchase magic herbs?"

Miss Tiffany frowned and thought carefully before replying: "Maybe there is a huge gap in their demand for magic herbs, or it may be that our magic herbs are cheaper than theirs. , they make a profit from trafficking these magic herbs.”

Roy nodded and said excitedly: "That's about it, and I also found that they don't have any restrictions on the types of magic herbs they purchase, which means they are short of everything, so this time we will bring back another batch and use these low-cost Sell ​​the magic herbs to those human merchants to make another profit."

Many treehouses were lit up, and through the dense canopy, little bits of light shone through.

Some plants that only unfold their branches and leaves at night give the streets of Padstow City a different look. Those large-leaf dark grasses look more like bananas, and the main stems actually light up in the dark. Luminous.

…

The clerk in the herbal medicine store is preparing to take off the open sign and then lock the shops, so that they have finished their work for the day.

As soon as his hand touched the plaque, he heard a call from the street in the distance:

"Wait a minute, don't close the door yet..."

The young mixed-blood elf stopped and turned to look at the street. There were almost no pedestrians on the dim street.

Two figures then appeared in the sight of the half-blood elf. Woods and Roy ran to the door of the business out of breath. The half-blood elf pointed at the open plaque and said, "The business has closed."

Woods stopped immediately, but Roy didn't. He said to the store clerk: "Well... I want to buy some magic herbs,"

"What do you two want to buy?"

The store clerk could only silently stop what he was doing and ask Roy and Woods to enter the store.

"Silver-leaf grass and Ningshen flower are fine, and you can also buy some other magical herbs."

Roy said as he walked into the herbal medicine store.

There are several moonstones inlaid on the ceiling of the hall. Although the light is not too bright, you can still see the shelves against the wall.

"..."

The store clerk was a little speechless, thinking he had met another guy who talked casually, but in the end refused to buy anything...

Sure enough, Roy stood in front of the shelf and kept asking about the prices of various low-level herbs. After asking, he went to check other types of magic herbs without any intention of buying them.

The shop clerk had a dark face and could only suppress his impatience and answer Roy's questions one by one.

Until Roy said: "Okay, as for the magic herbs I just mentioned, you should first get me ten bundles of each."

The store clerk opened his mouth and looked at Roy with wide eyes. He didn't even bother to remember exactly how many magic herbs Roy mentioned. Now he could only say to Roy with an embarrassed look on his face:

"Can you tell me again? The trading bank may not have that much inventory." The bank clerk said.

"Okay, I'll say it again this time. If you can't remember it, you can write it down in a note. Silver leaf grass, Ningshen flower, kudzu root, heather..." Roy said quickly.

The clerk of the trading company quickly took out a piece of paper and scribbled down the magic herbs Roy mentioned.

After busy for a while, the store clerk finally prepared the goods.

Roy put the magic herbs into his magic pocket, paid the money readily, and then left the herbal medicine store with everyone.

Until Roy and his entourage disappeared into the forest road, the clerk standing at the door of the store was still a little confused. He never expected that this guy said "just buy something" and actually emptied all the inventory in the store and looked down at his hands. With a heavy bag of magic crystals, the store clerk's heart suddenly felt at ease again.

…

If the store clerk hadn't told him the reason, Roy would never have imagined that these cheap low-level magical herbs were backlogged in the store. The reason was actually because the Silver Pegasus Legion looked down upon these low-level magical herbs.

These low-level magic herbs can only be used to refine some secondary life potions.

The Silver Pegasus Legion equips the elf warriors with high-quality life potions, which are many times more effective than secondary life potions.

It is precisely because of the Silver Pegasus Legion's disdain for these low-level magic herbs that the low-level herbal medicines are backlogged in the trading houses.

Roy thought that since the military looked down upon these magical herbs, the business of such magical herbs would not affect the interests of the military. This was probably what Earl Swinburne wanted to see.

When passing through the portal, Roy deliberately took out two bundles of magic herbs. He and Woods each carried a bundle of herbs on their backs and strode to the front of the portal.

This time he handed over to the portal guard not only the teleportation pass, but also a business certificate.

Seeing Roy's two certificates signed by Earl Swinburne, the portal guard decisively let him go.

In fact, even if Roy didn't take the business certificate, these guards wouldn't be able to stop him...

…

After leaving the Partington plane, Roy and his party returned to Castleton City by boat.

What Roy didn't expect was that the merchant ship on the port dock had already left. There were only two elves' ships on the deep water dock.

Woods stood on the deck, looking dumbfounded at the empty berth, and asked Roy in a panic:

"Roy, what should we do?"

He knew very well how many low-level magic herbs Roy bought in Padstow City. He originally wanted to sell them to the human merchant ship to make another profit, but he didn't expect that the merchant ship actually left the port.

Roy also didn't expect that the merchant ship would leave the port so soon.

Since there was no way to sell the magic herbs in his hand to the merchant ship, Roy could only scratch his head and said:

"Tomorrow I will try to sell it to the herbal medicine shops in the city."

"Okay, I can also ask Mrs. Winnie." Woods said immediately.

"Count us in too."

Miss Tiffany, Sabrina and Moira said at the same time.

Five friends stood on the deck of the supply ship, hands clasped together.

Roy looked at Moira's change in surprise. He didn't expect that she would agree to run out to sell magic herbs.

…

Elf Academy ushered in a new semester.

Roy was selling these magic herbs while going to school. Due to the previous merchant ship sweeping a large amount of goods in Castletown, the magic herbs in the city fell into a shortage.

Roy happened to go to the Partington plane at this time. They brought back low-level magic herbs. Many magic apothecaries had not yet replenished the herbs. Roy went to various magic pharmacies to sell low-level magic herbs to each herbal store. One or two bundles can be left behind.

The few gathered together made more, and in just half a month, Roy successfully sold out all the low-level magic herbs in his hands.

These magical herbs are not valuable in the Partington plane, but the price in Castletown can easily be doubled.

Entering July, the rainy season arrived in Castleton City, and it rained in the city for two consecutive weeks.

During the recent period, Roy has been attending classes at the Elf Academy honestly, and occasionally goes to the Black Pearl for a quick get-together.

Roy came home from college that day. He glanced at the mailbox out of habit and saw a letter lying inside. He thought it was a safe letter from Ms. Belinda. He took out the letter and found out It was actually not a letter from Ms. Belinda. There was only a mailing address on the envelope, but no signature of the writer.

When Roy tore the letter apart, he discovered that it was actually a letter from Lysander:

‘During this period, we fought several battles with the elf headhunters.

Although we are still at a disadvantage, those elf headhunters don't dare to be so big that they can just send some search teams into the mountains.

I have transported the magic herbs outside Padstow City. I hope you can come to Padstow City as soon as possible to trade with me. Lysander’
