Path of light

Chapter 532 533. North Voyage

Byron Thor left the Sun Island Bay with a box full of magic crystals. He said he would go east along the northern part of the Griffin Barrier Mountains to take a look at the Blackwater Swamp, which is rich in magic herbs. If possible, he would also like to get some dragonfly bee stings.

The headless body of Commander Latimore was hung on a wooden pole erected with a log, like a flag, indicating that the entire Sun Island Bay had a new owner.

Only Roy and a few other senior officials knew that this was not the real body of Commander Latimore. His body had long been buried under the ruins of Sun Island.

But the half-blood elves living in the Sun Island Bay didn't care. They hoped that the body of Commander Latimore could have a certain deterrent effect on the Sun Island fishmen.

In fact, since the moment Commander Latimore was defeated, the fishmen in the entire bay began to evacuate.

...

The Griffin Cavalry Regiment and the Assassin Regiment also evacuated at the same time as the Sun Island fishmen.

On the day that Commander Latimore died, Roy immediately sent these two troops to the Pagisto Plateau. Six hundred griffin cavalrymen could just take away the same number of Dark Moon Elf warriors.

They had to rush back to the second mine in the south of the Pagisto Plateau, where they would take a short rest and then fly directly to the Plateau City.

Mulin would issue them some small-team clearing and exploration tasks in the Plateau City.

Although the half-blood elf rebels had already overturned the headhunters' nest on the Pagisto Plateau, the Pagisto Plateau had not completely ushered in peace. In some areas, there were still small groups of headhunters wreaking havoc on the plateau.

These small groups of headhunters needed the elite tribes of the mine guards to clear them out.

The Griffin Cavalry Regiment and the Assassin Regiment would work together, and both mobility and combat capabilities would be greatly improved.

Faced with the alliance between the Griffin Cavalry and the Assassins, the headhunter teams lurking in various parts of the plateau had almost no ability to fight back.

In addition, Captain Tiprado led a hundred Griffin Cavalrymen to stay in the Sun Island Bay.

The next task is to clean up the battlefield and explore the Sun Island.

The arc-shaped seawall built by the half-blood elves on the north coast was not washed away by the sea tide, but the port pier built with logs was washed away by the sea tide again.

...

Moira squatted on the beach and dug a sand pit. She pursed her lips, muttered some words to appease the dead, and buried the head of Commander Latimore in the sand.

There were many half-blood elf warriors standing around...

But even if Moira buried the head of Commander Latimore with her own hands, everyone was unwilling to believe that it was this petite and sweet elf girl in front of them who cut off the head of the sea beast priest with a sword.

You know, that was a sea beast priest...

Roy, Miss Tiffany, Woods, Sabrina and others stood by the ruined port pier, facing the wet and cold sea breeze, discussing the reconstruction of the pier.

Roy frowned and said, "This time I plan to build the dock here with stone."

The dock built with logs has been repeatedly destroyed by the sea tide summoned by the Toadfish Cavalry.

Roy thinks that a stronger port dock can be built here now. After all, the half-blood elves here will also take boats to fish in the bay in the future. In addition, if the waterway between Sun Island Bay and Padstow City is opened, the magic airship will also need a berth.

Without a dock, these two magic airships cannot dock.

Because this is Sun Island Bay, and these magic airships are converted from three-masted sailing ships, there are no side hatches and bottom hatches. The advantage is that the magic airships can land in the sea.

So there is no need to build an airport dock in Sun Island Bay, but there must be a good port.

"Boss Roy, this pier can be built by the half-blood elves here. I will be responsible for communicating with them. You have helped us a lot by clearing out the fishmen in Sun Island Bay this time. On behalf of all the half-blood elves living in Sun Island Bay, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you."

Captain Tiprado said earnestly beside him.

If Roy had not led the army here, it would not take long for the fishmen of Sun Island to drive the half-blood elves living in the jungle of the north coast to the easternmost end of the Griffin Barrier Mountains and completely occupy the entire Sun Island Bay.

Roy looked at the sea in front of him and said to Captain Tiprado with a smile:

"This is what all half-blood elves in the Partington plane should do. With the fishery resources of Sun Island Bay, life will be better in the future."

"Yes! We moved here at first because we saw this natural fishing ground."

Captain Tiprado said with emotion.

Two magic airships were floating on the sea in the distance, and two griffin cavalry squadrons were transporting some supplies from the airships to the beach.

The two magic airships will go to the Plateau City tomorrow. Before that, almost all the daily necessities on the ship will be left here. Speaking of which, the supplies on the Sun Island Bay are also relatively scarce.

So the daily necessities stored on the ship will be left behind...

The half-blood elves living in the Sun Island Bay will gradually move to the vicinity of the dock in the next few months, and everyone will work together to build a harbor dock here.

Now on the Partington plane, the areas under Roy's jurisdiction include the Griffin Barrier Mountains, the Pagisto Plateau, the Hilly Mountains, and the Sun Island Bay.

If all these areas are displayed on the map, they are almost five times larger than the jungle area around Padstow.

Roy has currently built two airport terminals in Plateau City and Padstow City, and the port terminal in Sun Island Bay is also officially on the agenda. Once the magic airship is officially open to navigation, these areas will be closely connected.

…

The two magic airships only stayed in Sun Island for three days before carrying Roy and his party to the Plateau City on the Padstow Plateau.

On the deck, Moira, wrapped in a thick cotton cloak, leaned on the railing of the bow, looking at the crisscrossing mountains in the southern part of the plateau under her feet.

After the magic airship entered the plateau, the clouds were not so dense, and the vast southern landforms of the Padstow Plateau could be seen from the magic airship...

It's just that the magic airship is located in the high-altitude wind flow layer. Under the traction of the ball sail, the magic airship is flying at full speed towards the Plateau City.

Since killing Commander Latimore, Moira has been very quiet in recent days.

Roy walked behind Moira and said with a worried look:

"I'm sorry, after you came to Partington from Castleton City, apart from fighting with the fishmen of Sun Island, you spent most of your time on the magic airship, and I didn't have the chance to take you around..."

"Yeah, we have traveled so far these days, and we have seen all the scenery here, right?"

Moira pursed her lips and smiled, her voice was thin and sweet.

"If you say so, there is nothing wrong."

Roy smiled and came over to cover Moira's head with the hood of the cotton cloak. Her little face was red from the cold wind.

"I didn't know our Moira had become so powerful. If you can record this record in the adventure notes, I guess your ranking in the Castleton City Adventure Guild will definitely jump to the front." Roy teased in a low voice.

Moira seemed a little afraid of the cold. She shrank in the cold wind and leaned close to Roy.

"No way! Don't talk nonsense. I didn't kill the commander Latimore. I just happened to save his life." Moira squinted her eyes and responded in a low voice.

Roy found that her mood was not affected by the death of the commander Latimore, so he was relieved.

In the valley in the south of the Pagisto Plateau, a large number of migrating argali were grazing on the hillside.

Recently, many argali living in the north of the plateau have migrated to the south of the plateau, which has brought a great burden to the vegetation in the valley. I heard that Mulin has recently cut off the migration route of the Icefall Canyon.

Moira's soft hair was blown by the cold wind and swept across Roy's face. Roy smelled a faint scent of jasmine.

He naturally stretched out his hands... and hugged Moira from behind.

Moira's body moved slightly, and after a moment, even her crystal clear pointed ears were stained with three points of pink...

She hummed twice in comfort and squinted like a little fox.

There were almost no other half-blood elves on the deck on the bow side. Moira smiled and quietly enjoyed a moment of good time.

On the bronze argali ram ram next to her, a night blade leopard also squinted its eyes and stared at everything in front of it with a puzzled look...

...

At the beginning of the new year, the portal of Padstow City was officially lifted.

A large number of elves gathered in Padstow City, and many elf merchants entered the Partington plane through the portal. The price of tree houses in Padstow City doubled in just one week.

The originally vacant tree houses were almost full of foreign elves. The first thing many elf merchants did when they arrived in Padstow was to buy a tree house.

Soon, Padstow City became short of housing. A month ago, one-fifth of the rooms in the city were still vacant.

At the same time, some half-blood elves who had been stranded on the Partington plane for a long time began to leave Padstow City one after another...

Since the Partington plane is a plane rich in magical herbal resources, it attracts a large number of herbal merchants.

Dozens of magic herb shops have sprung up on several main commercial streets in Padstow.

The economy in Padstow has been booming. In order to make up for the losses in the magic herb trade, the Silver Pegasus Corps announced a tax notice on both sides of the portal a week in advance. All goods entering and leaving the Partington plane must pay commodity tax.

For this reason, the Silver Pegasus Corps even arranged several tax officers at the portal, and a long queue formed in the central square where the portal was located.

A group of half-blood elf guards patrolled the streets. They wore silver armor and rode white war horses, walking slowly along the busy streets. Looking from a distance, they could give these merchants enough sense of security.

In the trading market in Padstow, Silver Moon Elf merchants have no privileges, and all elf merchants must compete fairly.

Since the portal to the Partington plane has just been lifted, many half-blood elves have gathered in the city, making Padstow a mixed bag, so there are many uneasy factors all of a sudden.

Originally, there were almost no thefts, fights, and robberies in the city, but after the portal was unlocked, these incidents began to occur frequently in the city. .

In recent days, Captain Berkeley has almost lived in the headquarters of the Public Security Guard Corps. After the half-blood elf guards caught some elves that disturbed the public security and severely punished them, the public security in the city has improved a lot...

In this regard, the Silver Pegasus Military Department gave Captain Berkeley of the City Defense Guard Corps a lot of power.

In addition to the herbal merchants, many other merchants also came, and everyone was looking for various business opportunities in Padstow.

During this period, these merchants not only found out that Boss Roy is currently the largest junior magic herbal merchant in the Partington plane, but also found out that if they want to buy metal ingots on the plane, they have to find Boss Roy.

And Boss Roy has not appeared in Padstow for a long time, which makes many merchants more curious about Boss Roy.

Then Boss Roy's official identities were exposed one after another, such as the mayor of Barrier Town, the governor of Pagisto Plateau, the owner of all mines in Pagisto Plateau, and even a large number of undeveloped mines in his hands...

Roy appeared in the sight of many merchants.

At the same time, the three investigators in the investigation team finally followed a small caravan back to Padstow City. Their return journey was not so smooth.

Not only did they encounter an ambush by a small group of headhunters in the Caldim Mountains, but they lost all their bags.

In addition, along the way, the three investigators suffered the cold eyes of many half-blood elf merchants.

They returned to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters in Padstow in an extremely embarrassed manner. The three investigators were waiting in the lobby on the first floor in ragged clothes, constantly complaining to the receptionist about the terrible situation of the Pagisto Plateau.

The receptionist also listened to the investigators' complaints patiently with a faint smile on his face.

At this time, the door of the lobby was pushed open by a young half-elf, and Roy walked to the front desk reception. Every time he arrived in Padstow, Roy would come to the military headquarters to sign in.

This time he came to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters not only to sign in, but also to apply for a new route for the magic airship from the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters.

The receptionist at the front desk was already somewhat familiar with Roy. As long as he saw his somewhat special face, he would sign him in without even showing his nameplate...

"Governor Roy, why are you in Padstow again?"

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist at the front desk greeted Roy familiarly.

Roy stood in the hall, exhausted, and smiled gently at the receptionist: "Of course there are things to deal with..."

This time he returned to Padstow City, not only to add a large area to the control map of the Partington plane, but also to apply for aviation permission from the military.

Roy planned to put the two airport terminals in Padstow City and Plateau City and the two magic airships into one management department.

In addition, he also gave this management department a name that was very difficult for the elves to pronounce - Northern Airlines.
