Path of light

Chapter 384 385. Lysander’s smile

No one expected that the gray dwarf bandits also left an escape tunnel under the collapsed rocks.

Unfortunately, while investigating the situation outside the cave, they were discovered by the Dark Moon Elf warriors standing by...

The Dark Moon Elf warrior was actually startled. He was squatting on a rock nearby and was about to take out the apple from his bag to nibble when he noticed that a stone at his feet suddenly moved.

He was startled and thought that the cave was going to collapse again. He was about to run away, only to find four thick fingers appearing behind the stone.

When the stone was moved away, a huge head emerged from the hole, staring out with copper bell-sized eyes, looking out stupidly.

The Dark Moon Elf warrior was crouching above his head, but he couldn't see it...

In fact, the dark moon elf warrior wanted to take a dagger and rub it on his neck, and then everything would be over.

But the last few times he did this, he was severely criticized by Captain Timothy, saying that these gray dwarves were the property of Boss Roy and could not be killed casually.

Vice Captain Tennyson supports it, but he is the deputy captain after all...

Therefore, the Dark Moon Elf resisted the pain and did not kill him this time. Instead, when the gray dwarf was about to retreat into the cave, he put a dagger against the back of his neck. As long as he moved a little more violently, the dagger would pierce him. Head... Unfortunately, this gray dwarf was also a coward. He did not dare to move, but chose to surrender with his hands raised.

The Dark Moon Elf warrior could only say in his heart: 'Tough luck! ’

Then he called to the mixed-blood elf warrior not far away: "Hey, come and help..."

…

It was already an hour later when Roy received the report from underneath the mine.

However, he thought that there was a gray dwarf leader hiding in the mine, so he did not dare to take it lightly, and quickly led a team of mixed-blood elf warriors into the mine.

I hurried to the mine tunnel where the gray dwarf leader was hiding, only to find that the two Dark Moon Elf captains, Timothy and Tennyson, were guarding here, but they were helpless about this tunnel that could only allow one person to crawl through.

Whether it was the gray dwarves opposite or the elf warriors here, as long as they climbed into this tunnel, they would die.

When Roy walked out of the dark mine, a Dark Moon Elf warrior whispered:

"The boss is here..."

All the elf warriors in the mine turned to look at Roy, and then Timothy and Tennyson walked up to Roy and told them the current situation.

Roy lowered his head and thought for a moment, then dug out a 'Fire Gathering' rune board from his magic pocket. Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, he still installed a magic crystal fragment in the gem groove.

He bought this 'Fire Gathering Technique' rune board for the establishment of the adventure group.

The moment the magic crystal fragment was installed in the gem groove, a ball of flame immediately rose up.

Although it is a magical flame, it still requires oxygen to burn...

Roy threw the burning metal rune plate into the pit and blocked the entrance with stones. Not only that, he also took some sand and covered it around the stones, and then piled some more Pieces of gravel.

Then he told Captain Timothy:

"Arrange a Dark Moon Elf warrior to keep an eye on it and stay away. As long as no dwarves climb out, don't worry about it!"

"Yes, boss."

Although he didn't know what Roy was burning with that magic rune tablet, Captain Timothy agreed out of habit.

Roy dusted off his hands, turned around and left.

Timothy and Tennyson quickly followed.

Roy took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers. When he was walking through a mine, he happened to see four gray dwarf miners digging for gemstones in the mine.

Several gray dwarf miners have shackles on their feet, but they are strong and they don't seem to feel any burden even if they are shackled.

Roy stopped and stood at the entrance of the cave and asked the two Dark Moon Elf captains: "How have the gray dwarf miners been behaving recently?"

Timothy glanced at Tennyson and said, "Very honest."

Roy nodded, took a few steps forward, stopped again, and then said:

"You should also be prepared. Try to let the Dark Moon Elves in the third mine do this kind of supervision work. If there are any Dark Moon Elf warriors you like, you can also select them and recruit them into the assassin team. You are better at doing these things. I have experience, I will give you a week at most, and you must evacuate from the third mine as soon as possible."

"Yes, boss."

Timothy and Tennyson replied at the same time, with joy in their eyes.

Roy then went to the gray dwarf camp to have a look. When he saw one hundred and seventy gray dwarf miners living together, he said to Captain Timothy:

"Divide them into four groups and separate their residences to reduce contact between groups."

Captain Timothy quickly agreed.

In the past few days, Captain Timothy has been living underground with the Dark Moon Elf warriors. On the one hand, he is searching for fish that have slipped through the mine. On the other hand, he is training a group of overseers from the Dark Moon Elf miners to replace these Dark Moon Elf. Warrior's job now.

…

In fact, Roy is also forming a guard team in the fortress of the third mine, and Vitas has been doing the recruitment work in this area.

Roy planned to keep the sixty mixed-blood elf warriors he brought over at the third mine, and cooperate with Vitas to form a guard team of two hundred mixed-blood elf warriors.

Roy stayed at the Third Mine for a total of ten days.

On the last day, he entered the mine again and came to the place where the gray dwarf leader was hiding in the mine collapse.

This time, two mixed-blood elf warriors were responsible for removing the rocks blocking the entrance of the cave. Roy squatted down and found the magic rune board from the cave. The magic crystal fragments in the gem grooves had turned into small pieces. There was a pile of powder, and there was a faint smell of burning inside the hole.

Roy originally wanted to go in and investigate to see if the gray dwarf leader was completely dead in the cave.

But for the time being, there was no good way to get fresh air into it, so he waved his hand and asked the mixed-blood elf warriors to fill the hole again.

With a little regret, Roy led twenty night elves back to the second mine.

…

Lysander's pack team had arrived at the Second Mine the day before Roy rushed back to the Second Mine.

This time, his pack team had almost no stops along the way and spent all the time on the road. It only took twenty-six days to get from the Second Mine to Barrier Town and back again.

Lysander looked thinner and stooped, but his eyes were still full of energy.

The supply shelves of the pack team were filled with food, and he was really scared.

When he heard that the logistics department of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion had interrupted the supply of materials to the mine, the old mixed-blood elf was really scared, because he knew that there were nearly a thousand mixed-blood elves in the second mine alone. .

Some of these mixed-blood elves are miners rescued from underground, and some are young people from the gathering place.

Roy spared no effort to rescue the mixed-blood elf slaves in the mine, and all he could do was transport some food from Barrier Town to solve the food crisis in the mine.

Lysander arrived at Rampart Town with a handwritten letter from Roy and encountered little trouble.

In Barrier Town, as long as Lysander can take away anything, he can choose whatever he wants.

In addition to fresh apples that are easy to store, there are also some foods that are pickled in maple sugar and look like preserved fruits. In short, Lysander transported a lot of food this time.

However, when he returned to the second mine and saw that the warehouse was filled with various supplies, Lysander breathed a sigh of relief.

Mulin told Lysander that a large amount of living supplies were transported from the valley camp half a month ago, and the food crisis at the second mine was solved...

Lysander took off the leather hat on his head, sat down against the warehouse door, took a long breath, with a relaxed smile on his face, and kept mumbling:

"As long as you're not hungry, it's good, as long as you're not hungry..."

…

After hearing the news that Lysander had arrived at the second mine, Roy stopped staying at the third mine and hurriedly led the Dark Moon Elf team back to the second mine.

When Roy rushed outside the fortress, the stables were crowded with Lysander's argali sheep.

The roofs of the row of stables in front have been erected, and the mixed elves are laying thick moss on the roofs. When everyone saw Roy, they all stood up from the roof and saluted Roy.

The mixed-blood elf warriors on the city wall also saw Roy and excitedly shook the big iron bell on the city wall. The mixed-blood elf warriors below quickly opened the three gates of the fortress.

Roy rode his horse into the courtyard of the second mine.

Lysander and Mulin were already waiting at the gate, and behind them stood a large group of mixed-blood elves, making the courtyard crowded.

"Roy, have the matters at the third mine been settled?" Mu Lin stood at the front and asked Roy carelessly.

"Yeah! It's been taken care of. Some mixed elves chose to return to the gathering place, and some mixed elves chose to stay!"

Roy jumped off the horse, and Lysander took the initiative to help him hold the horse's reins.

"Lysander, thank you for your hard work."

Roy looked at Lysander's vicissitudes of life and smiled at him.

When Lysander heard Roy say this, he said with some embarrassment: "It doesn't matter if I can do something for these compatriots, even if it's hard, but it's a pity that I still can't help everyone!"

Roy said:

"How could it be? The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion will leave Pagisto Plateau sooner or later. In order to maintain this trade route in the future, the mine will continue to purchase goods from Barrier Town, and there may be more in the future. Other caravans join in, and only when more and more caravans enter the Pagisto Plateau will the place become prosperous."

At this time, Lysander smiled and said to Roy:

"Roy, when I was buying goods in the barrier village, there was an elf boy who heard that I was buying goods for Qin Cai. He wanted to follow me no matter what. Do you think who I brought to you?"

Roy glanced behind Lysander in confusion, thinking that the holidays at Castletown Elf Academy hadn't come yet!

A familiar figure in a leather jacket suddenly jumped in front of Roy, laughed and gave Roy a big hug.

"Roy, you didn't expect it! Haha..."

"Kaka, why are you here?"

Roy asked in surprise.
