Path of light

Chapter 483 484. Plateau City

In the fourth week of August, Roy led the mixed-blood elf guard group to the camp at the foot of the Pagisto Plateau. After repairing in the camp for three days, he led a large group of people into the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau. Foothills.

This time he not only had to escort two thousand gray dwarf prisoners of war, he also carried a large number of magic machines. Almost all of the magic machines were suspended more than three meters above the ground using floating devices. Each magic machine was powered by four Pulled by a war horse.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that four war horses could pull a magical machine the size of a room...

These supplies were queued far back in the queue.

After entering the southern foothills, crossing the mountains is not the most difficult thing. The biggest problem is passing these materials through the mountain pass.

Due to the strong winds at the mountain pass, it would be very troublesome for these military supplies to pass through the mountain pass. Roy mobilized almost two thousand mixed-blood elf warriors to allow these magic machines to pass through the strong wind steadily...

A mixed-blood elf warrior who had traveled in the Green Empire described to Roy the most popular means of transportation there - the magic airship.

In fact, before that, the imperial businessman had also described it to Roy, but due to the rush of time, Roy couldn't understand it at all, and he didn't understand the driving device of the magic airship at all.

The mixed elf warrior described the structure of the magic airship to Roy in detail. Only then did Roy understand that the airship in this magical world was actually a flying sailboat, and the flotation device was only responsible for lifting the magic airship into the air. High altitude, and the magic airship itself does not actually have a strong propulsion force. They can fly in the air completely relying on the wind flow layer in the high altitude...

"According to you, as long as I install these floating devices on a three-masted sailboat, that sailboat will turn into a magic airship?" Roy rode a horse and twisted his body to talk to the man the mixed-blood elf warrior asked.

"That's about it! But there are some differences between a magic airship and a sailboat. The magic airship actually has a propulsion device, but the propulsion is not very strong. It can barely allow the airship to drift at a certain angle in the wind layer. , that is to say, the wind direction in the wind layer cannot accurately blow the magic airship to its next destination. The propulsion device on the magic airship can adjust the course slightly. In addition, the mast and sails are somewhat different. The actual magic airship It is lighter than a sailboat..." the mixed elf warrior introduced in detail.

Roy kind of wants to build a magic airship to travel between Padstow City and Plateau City.

In this case, it may only take a few days to reach Padstow City from the Padstow Plateau by magic airship.

When the team was traveling through the mountains at the southern foot of the mountain, Kaka and Little Eugene, who had received the news in advance, rode griffins and found Roy's team. Then they heard Roy talk about the naval battle on the Queen Igwene Islands, and immediately regretted not being able to do so in person. Go to.

The griffon flapped its wings violently and took Kaka and Roy to fly above the clouds, because Roy wanted to know about the wind currents in the sky.

When the griffin broke through the clouds, Roy felt that the whole world became much brighter.

The clouds below him were like a large soft cotton field, flying above the clouds. Although the cold wind blowing in front of him quickly turned Roy's nose red, the beautiful scenery with a wide field of vision also made Roy Deeply understand how vast the Partington plane is.

"Roy, can you have a good rest when you come back this time?"

Kaka turned his head slightly, allowing Roy to easily hear his question.

It's really cold at high altitudes, and the view is wide and you can see far away.

There are also some big birds lined up in a row, flying in the wind in the wind layer...

"Let me deal with the affairs of the Plateau City first, and then we will discuss the affairs of Sun Island Bay. Kaka, how many mixed elves are currently settled in Sun Island Bay?" Roy asked curiously.

Kaka calculated for a moment and said, "If we count all the mixed-blood elves over there, there are probably more than 20,000 mixed-blood elves!"

Hearing what Kaka said, Roy was really shocked. You must know that there are only tens of thousands of mixed elves in the entire Pajisto Plateau.

Many elves like to live a hermit life without being disturbed...

There were so many mixed elves living in Sun Island Bay, but they couldn't deal with the group of murlocs in the bay. Roy found it a bit incredible.

…

The guard group crossed the mountains at the southern foot of the Pagisto Plateau. This journey was actually a bit boring. In addition to looking for a suitable campsite every day, they just kept moving forward, especially on the mountain road with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. Traveling is a challenge for every mixed elf warrior.

Along the way, Roy and Kaka would sometimes fly into the sky, overlooking the terrain of the surrounding mountains from a high altitude. Sometimes they would also look over the chart left by Abt. The experience made Roy discover one thing, that is, the set of charts left by Abt were very accurate and detailed.

It was not until mid-September that the Half-Blood Elf Guards finally arrived at the southern part of the Pagisto Plateau.

This is the main residential area for mixed-blood elves on the plateau. Originally, there were some elven villages built in several valleys in this area.

Now those villages have almost been destroyed by the headhunters, leaving only some ruins piled up with broken bricks and rubble.

No half-blood elves have come back to clean up these ruins for so long. It seems that the half-blood elves don't want to come back and settle...

There is a large grassland in the southern part of the plateau. The guard regiment passes through this grassland and the road is not difficult to walk.

Arriving at the first spinel mine, Roy saw that the gem mining work in the mine was in order. Some mixed elves also became miners in the mine, taking the elevator to transport the underground gem mines to the surface. Come up.

When the mixed elves saw Roy appearing in the mine, they quickly gathered around and greeted Roy.

The current manager of the gem mine is Walker. Like Mulin, he comes from the gathering place of mixed-blood elves on the plateau and seems to be very motivated.

The mine passage of the first mine is also being upgraded. It is estimated that a two-car water-gravity lift will be built in accordance with the elevator design standards of the second mine.

Roy then went to check the warehouse of the gem mine, and he also accumulated a large sum of gem mines in the past six months.

As of now, the output of the gem mine is still much higher than that of the two mithril mines in the Sudarso Mountains...

Walker reported to Roy that in the past six months, two more Dark Moon Elf prisoners under the mine had met the conditions for release after serving their sentences. Roy did not hesitate and signed on the spot, agreeing to give these two Dark Moon Elf prisoners Free, they can live again in the Partington plane. Since the portal is still under military control, they cannot leave the Partington plane for the time being.

The two Dark Moon Elf prisoners may have been in the mine for a long time, but they suddenly regained their freedom, their eyes filled with confusion.

Roy stood in front of the two Dark Moon elves who were carrying travel backpacks. According to the system of the First Mine, any elf who regains freedom can get a travel backpack, which contains not only half a month's worth of elf cookies. , there is also a map of the Pagisto Plateau, as well as some essential travel items such as water bladders.

Standing in front of the two Dark Moon elves, Roy said to the two elves:

"This is a turning point in your life to regain freedom, and it is also your new life. You can choose to stay in the mine to adapt for a period of time, or you can leave the mine directly to see the outside world, but I don't want you to continue on the old path. After all, you still have a long way to go in the second half of your life. I hope you can enjoy your life and cherish your current life. "

The two Dark Moon elves looked at each other and said to Roy: "Boss Roy, we want to visit Barrier Town..."

"Of course you can. There is a road marked on the map. You only need to follow this road to get out of Pagisto Plateau. However, the road is very long and the mountain road is difficult to walk. You need to be mentally prepared." Yi warned.

Not long after, the two Dark Moon elves were carrying their bags and a simple map, heading towards the mountains in the southern part of the plateau...

…

A week later, Roy led the mixed elf guard group to the mithril mine in the northern part of the Sudarso Mountains.

Miss Channing held a party in the mining castle, officially welcoming Roy, and the news of the victory in the naval battle of the Queen Igwene Islands spread quickly...

Facing the enthusiastic Miss Chan Ning, Roy was somewhat embarrassed.

Early the next morning, he took the mixed-blood elf guard group to the plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau.

Walking on the grassland on the edge of the wilderness, you can see the meandering Tuolai River flowing from the Gasai Mountains all the way to the depths of the wilderness. On a bend of the Tuolai River, there is a stone city. The outline stands on the mound, and it is even said that the stone city has completely covered the mound.

The high city walls make this plateau city look huge.

The stone buildings gradually appearing on the mounds make the city look well planned...

Although there is no Tree of Life needed by the elves in the city, the mixed elves have also planted many trees on the streets of the city, and small fountains can be seen at every intersection, and even some extremely simple ones can be found. sculpture.

Many areas in the city have been temporarily planned as gardens, and these areas are paved with flat stone slabs.

Elves like a comfortable living environment. Although half of this plateau city was designed for plateau headhunters, these streets and buildings still have beauty. Every time you go to a square, you will see it covered with reliefs in advance. There are tall stone arches, there are long steps outside most buildings, and some green-purple bushes are planted on both sides of some complex corridors in the garden...

It has to be said that the aesthetics of the mixed-blood elves are also very online. Almost all the buildings here have complicated appearances and are full of artistic flavor and beautiful carvings.

Roy learned from Miss Qianning last night that the mixed elf rebels, led by Captain Herrick, had conquered the ancestral land of Gazan. Now those mixed elf warriors not only occupied the hot spring valley, but also captured prisoners. Nearly 20,000 headhunters were recruited.

However, the supplies that Commander Helic currently possesses can barely feed the mixed elf rebels. For these 20,000 headhunter captives who are difficult to feed, Commander Helic plans to exile them to the ice peaks outside the mountains in the northern plateau. land.

If Roy needs these headhunter prisoners of war, Captain Herrick can also escort them to the plateau city here...

Mu Lin stood on the platform at the door of the government hall of the plateau city. She was wearing a silver full composite armor, holding her helmet in her arms. The cloak behind her was blown back by the north wind in the wilderness, and the broken hair on her head Very messy.

Seeing Roy leading a group of mixed elf warriors up the stairs, a faint smile appeared on Mu Lin's face covered with light freckles.

"Boss Roy, welcome back to Plateau City!"

Mu Lin shouted loudly towards Roy.

Roy strode forward and arrived in front of Mu Lin. This was the platform at the entrance of the government affairs hall. It was located at the highest point of the mound. From here, you could overlook the entire plateau city...

It only took more than half a year for this city to take shape.

"Well done! Mu Lin." Roy praised Mu Lin.

"When I heard the news about the victory in the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands, I guessed that you would be back soon. Sure enough, I just waited for a month and saw you, the boss..."

"How's it going? Are there any troubles here?" Roy asked Mu Lin.

"It's okay to talk about things in the city, and they can be coordinated anyway, but Captain Herrick is waiting for your decision. How many Headhunter prisoners of war are you prepared to accept this time?" When Mu Lin said these words, her eyes were still I couldn't help but fall on the square under the steps.

A group of gray dwarf prisoners of war were huddled in the shade of the square, lining up to drink water at the fountain.

It would also be very troublesome to deal with so many gray dwarf prisoners of war. Therefore, Mu Lin did not think that Roy would take in those plateau headhunter prisoners of war...

"Reply to Captain Helik and tell me that I can accept all the prisoners of war from the plateau headhunters!"

Roy made his decision almost without any hesitation.

Mu Lin was slightly dazed...

"This city will continue to be built, and it is estimated that it will need a lot of labor. Let's choose from those plateau headhunter prisoners of war!"

Roy paused again as he spoke.

"The remaining plateau headhunter prisoners of war will be arranged in batches to dig in the mines of the mines. The same goes for these gray dwarf prisoners of war, who will also be arranged to work in the mines!"

After speaking, Roy walked into the magnificent government affairs hall...

The city's original planning drawing was designed by Roy, but that drawing was only a preliminary plan, which only marked the construction of a certain building at a certain place. However, Roy did not specify the appearance of the building in detail, so Mullin placed this government affairs The hall was built like a temple, with fifty-six Roman columns nearly forty meters high, almost surrounding the entire building. There was also an elf sculpture nearly ten meters high erected on the roof of the government hall.

Roy walked into the hall step by step, and it turned out to be unusually empty...
