Path of light

Chapter 534 535. The Rise of Padstow City

Just after Roy left the lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters, the Silver Moon elves at the front desk immediately started talking.

A colleague asked the Silver Moon elf receptionist with a sweet smile:

"Was that the one just now Roy the boss?"

"That's the one!" The receptionist responded sweetly.

The colleague standing next to her widened his eyes and exclaimed: "My God, he seemed to have heard everything the three investigators said in the rest area just now. Didn't those three go to the Pagisto Plateau to investigate him?"

The female receptionist muttered bluntly: "Just investigate it. Is Boss Roy afraid of this?"

The colleague stared at the female receptionist and asked suspiciously: "You...you stand on Boss Roy's side?"

The Silver Moon Elf female receptionist showed an admiring look and said with a smile:

"Of course! He led the half-blood elves to defeat the plateau headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau and captured a large number of mine owners who engaged in slave trading. What's wrong with this? What's there to investigate? Just because the dead mine owner is a descendant of the Silver Moon Elf nobles, do we have to go through the investigation?"

The colleague also echoed her: "In my opinion, someone must have reported it..."

"It must be!"

Roy, who had already left the military department in a carriage, naturally didn't know that there were still many of his supporters in the Silver Pegasus Military Department.

...

Recently, Padstow has been overcrowded. Every day, a large number of half-blood elves from the Elf Continent enter Padstow through the portal on Partington Island.

This forest city has been expanding outward since a month ago.

Now, many carpenters have begun to build elf tree houses on the tall oak trees on the edge of the city.

Moira, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany, and Woods took a carriage to the central square. They originally planned to stroll around Padstow and then arrive at Partington Island to see the progress of the transformation of the magic airship there.

But Padstow is now like a crowded sardine can. The streets are full of half-blood elves, and there are long queues outside any cold drink shop.

The four people had no intention of strolling around Padstow, so they prepared to go to Partington Island through the portal in the central square to enjoy the sunshine, beach, sea breeze, blue sky of the island there...

But when they got off the carriage, they saw a long queue in the central square.

The half-blood elves who passed through the portal formed a long line, and the long line even turned several corners in the central square.

The half-blood elves all looked tired, and it seemed that the long journey made them look a little tired. Although they arrived in Padstow, this city might not be the end of their journey.

There were too many half-blood elves in the city.

This forest city could not accommodate so many half-blood elves for the time being. If these half-blood elves stayed in the city, they would not be able to find anything to do...

Although the magic herbal medicine business was booming, there were opportunities everywhere in Padstow.

But there were too many half-blood elves who came here to look for opportunities. Everyone knew that Padstow was a gathering place for half-blood elves, so they wanted to come here to take a look.

The whole city was full of people.

There were half-blood elf warriors in the square who were responsible for clearing the passage...

These half-blood elves who had just entered the Partington plane saw a group of half-blood elf warriors wearing standard armor and standing majestically in the central square. Their hearts immediately became excited, and everyone was full of curiosity about this forest city.

There is no half-blood elf army on the Elven Continent, and half-blood elves rarely form a regular army.

Therefore, when everyone sees half-blood elves wearing standard military uniforms, they have an extraordinary sense of identity with this city from the bottom of their hearts...

The Partington plane has thus ushered in the largest wave of immigrants in decades.

"How long will it take to queue up, and currently it is still from Partington Island to Padstow City. If we want to go to Partington Island, we will have to wait for at least a while!"

Miss Tiffany took out a water bag and poured the clear water in the water bag on her head, saying a little irritably.

If it weren't for accompanying Moira, she should be sunbathing on the beach on the north coast of Sun Island Bay at this time.

Woods squinted his eyes and looked at the surging central square, and said hesitantly:

"Why don't we ask about the time of passage first, and then go back to find Roy, he is an officer of the Silver Pegasus Corps and has the right to pass through the portal first..."

At this time, Moira, who was standing next to her sister, gently pulled LS Brianna's sleeve and whispered: "Sabrina, I saw that there seemed to be a few neighbors from Brown Street in the team over there, and they actually ran to the Partington plane."

Sabrina was particularly conspicuous among a group of half-blood elves. Her tall figure, fair skin, and beautiful face attracted many eyes.

Moira always liked to hide in the shadow behind her. Although she also had a very sweet appearance, those elves always ignored her.

"Of course, who doesn't want to come to the Partington plane to pan for gold now!" Woods was the only man in the team, so he was naturally responsible for the safety of the entire team, even if he was not the top combat force in the team.

"Pan for gold?" Moira was a little unfamiliar with this phrase.

Woods laughed and said, "I also heard from Roy that collecting magic herbs here is like making money by digging for gold. I heard that in the black swamp of Partington, there are as many primary magic herbs as weeds..."

Miss Tiffany sneered and retorted, "This rumor is a bit exaggerated!"

Woods smiled and said, "Exaggeration is not the key. The key is that many half-blood elves believe it!"

"No way..."

Miss Tiffany frowned and muttered.

Moira shook her sister's arm and asked softly, "What should we do? Should we leave first?"

Sabrina raised her eyebrows. There were too many half-blood elves gathered in the square. The surrounding environment was a bit noisy. After they got off the carriage, they had already walked a distance with the crowd. If they wanted to leave now, they would have to walk in the opposite direction, which would be a bit troublesome.

"Since we are all here, why not just line up here!"

Sabrina said casually.

After hearing Sabrina say this, the four of them stood in the long line honestly.

Some half-elf guards stood in the isolated area, maintaining the system in the square...

...

In the material warehouse, Rambo placed a thick stack of invitations on the desk in front of Roy and said to him:

"Take a look, I have received many invitations from trading companies recently. They know that we are engaged in the primary magic herb trade, so the invitations that can be handed over here are all for purchasing magic metals."

Roy flipped through the invitations casually and asked in confusion: "Why? Even the trade of magic metals has become so hot now?"

"So many merchant groups entered the Partington plane, at least more than half of them can't buy magic herbs. They can't go back empty-handed. Although the profit of magic metals is a little smaller, at least they can earn back some of their capital..." Rambo sat opposite Roy and pushed a plate of berries in front of him.

This kind of berry is produced in the Elf Continent, and it is not too cheap in the Elf Continent. I didn't expect Rambo to enjoy it.

Roy picked one and put it in his mouth, tapped the table with his fingers and said:

"I'll leave these things to you. I can't ask about everything. Now in the magic metal market, only the mithril ingots are rising. I'll stock up some of them for the time being. I plan to sell them to those Green Empire merchants. They can afford high prices. You can negotiate with them for other magic metals. As long as the transaction price is reached, you can sell them!"

"Since you said so, starting tomorrow, I will visit them one by one according to the addresses on these invitations." Rambo seemed very positive about the metal transaction.

Roy continued, "That's it, but you have to help me get back 1,500 boxes of fruit today. I need to deliver them to the airport terminal before tomorrow evening. The magic airship will set sail to the Plateau City the day after tomorrow morning."

"So urgent?" Rambo asked.

Roy nodded and whispered, "This batch of food needs to be sent to the ancestral land of Gazan in the north of the plateau."

"Where is Captain Helike?" Rambo covered his mouth with his hand and asked in a low voice.

Roy nodded calmly.

Although Captain Helike led the half-blood elf rebels to occupy the ancestral land of Gazan, which is also an evergreen hot spring valley, there is little food available for the elves.

There are currently only two ways to obtain the food these half-blood elf warriors need every day. One is to search around the hot spring valley, and the other is to rely on Roy's supply.

Previously, Roy had been supplying Captain Helike with elf biscuits. This thing is not only convenient for transportation, but also can sustain the half-blood elf warriors for seven days...

But now with the convenience of the magic airship, Roy is going to transport a batch of fruits to Captain Helike. The transportation of these supplies by the magic airship can also further reduce the transportation pressure on the Leishande pack caravan.

"Then I'll go and prepare..."

Rambo's legs are always faster than his mouth.

"Then I'll go to the magic airship transformation workshop on Partington Island to check it out. See you tomorrow night!"

Roy didn't plan to stay here, so he said to Rambo.
