Path of light

Chapter 553 554. Roy’s worries

Roy had to get up early to take a boat back to the Partington plane at the Castletown Port Pier, because the tide in Castletown Port happened to be in the morning.

After getting up from the bed with difficulty, Roy put on the magic pattern structure and walked out of the yard, only to find Sabrina and Moira just walking out of the yard next door.

"Morning! Roy."

The sweet voice sounded in the quiet street. Roy couldn't help but smile and said:

"Good morning, are you two going to the Elf Academy so early?"

Moira's eyes were curved into crescent moons, and her smile with pursed lips was still as cute as ever.

"Today is the first day of school and we are going to the academy early."

Sabrina stood on the street, tucking her wind-torn hair behind her ears with one hand, and said, "The wind is just right in the morning, which is perfect for sailing on the sea."

"When you have time, remember to come back and see us!"

"I will. There are still two batches of military supplies to be traded in Castletown City. I will be back soon." Roy agreed readily.

Brown Street is not long, so Moira and Sabrina had to wait for the long carriage at the intersection, so the three of them said goodbye at the intersection.

Roy passed by Mrs. Winnie's magic potion shop and habitually glanced under the wall of the potion shop. Although the big cat had followed him to the Partington plane, every time he passed by, I still can’t help but look inside the pharmacy.

Just like when you pass the abandoned Temple of Liberty, you will look through the big iron gate at the lush weeds growing out of the cracks in the stones in the courtyard. Even some weeds have grown on the roof of the main temple.

Thinking of the time he lived in the temple and seeing the decay in front of him, Roy couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When Roy walked to Castletown Harbor, the sun just showed its red figure from the morning glow.

Byron Toll was signing at the dock of Castletown Harbor with his luggage on his back. He looked like he was waiting for the ship. He was dressed in a suit for a long journey. The most eye-catching thing about him was the longbow wrapped in linen behind his back.

Roy stopped and saluted the powerful Byron Thor, and then asked him: "Are you going on a trip?"

Byron Thor looked a little tired. He waved his hand to Roy and said in a calm voice: "I have been having nightmares recently, dreaming that the souls of my old brothers are trapped in the dark place. They asked I'm going to bring their bones back, so I'm going to visit the Dark Place again."

Roy blinked.

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard that something special happened over there at Golfito. You must be more careful when you go there."

Byron Thor looked at Roy in surprise and said, "Haha, have you also heard about Golfito's situation? That's right, the Silver Pegasus Legion will definitely not be able to stay out of it this time."

Roy didn't know that the Silver Pegasus Legion was also going to send troops to Golfito, and stood there in a daze.

"..."

A sea-going ship shook the bell on its bow violently, and the clear and melodious sound of the bell spread far away. The sea-going ship slowly left the port against the surging tide.

Roy looked towards the dock in the deep water area. The three-masted sailboat was obviously ready to leave the port.

"The ship over there is waiting for me, I'll board it first!"

Roy said goodbye to Byron Thor and ran quickly to the three-masted sailboat.

Sure enough, after Roy boarded the three-masted sailboat, the crew on the ship immediately pulled back the sampan set up on the dock, and then, amid a crisp ringing of bells, they sailed towards the sea against the rising tide.

After the three-masted ship entered the sea, it sailed towards Partington Island without filling its sails.

The first stop, the three-masted sailing ship was to deliver these elf biscuits and breadfruit to the waters where the imperial merchants docked their ships.

The imperial businessman Darwin stood on the roof of the ship building and waved to Roy's three-masted sailboat. Only then did Roy realize that he had changed to a merchant ship.

Roy curiously asked the imperial merchant Darwin and found out that the merchant ship had returned to Roland last night after being filled with magic herbs and metal ingots.

It can be seen that these imperial businessmen are quite united.

Although many businessmen are also competitors, the interests of the empire are above all else.

As long as there is a ship filled with supplies, the ship will not stay in the waters of the Elf Continent.

Of course, these businessmen will also have some competition in private.

Roy understood why he was so hated. He almost monopolized the primary magic herbal market in the Partington plane. This was the main reason for the hatred in the hearts of those imperial businessmen.

Another reason that gave the imperial businessman the idea of ​​assassination was Roy's half-elf identity.

These imperial businessmen believe that a young half-elf's living space in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, which is full of racial discrimination, should actually be very limited.

It's just that they didn't understand one thing. How could a half-elf who could monopolize the primary magic herbal market in the Partington plane be Caigua without any background or ability?

The imperial businessmen did not expect that Roy had a military background with the Silver Pegasus Legion and was also familiar with the security guard at Castletown Port.

After this matter was messed up, the imperial businessmen could only bite the bullet and come up with a large amount of compensation...

Although one hundred flotation devices were temporarily loaned to Roy in name, in fact these flotation devices completely belonged to Roy.

Returning the flotation device to that group of imperial businessmen is a matter for the imperial businessman Darwin...

The Silver Moon Elves have not yet lifted the punishment on these imperial merchants. All imperial merchant ships have been driven out of Castletown Harbor. These merchant ships are not allowed to approach Castletown Harbor until the murderer is handed over.

This punishment is too severe, which means that the imperial merchant ships cannot be supplied in Castletown Harbor. Fortunately, the crew has long been accustomed to life at sea. They anchor in this sea area and occasionally go to the tidal reef island.

For Roy's ability to send so many daily necessities that are easy to store this time, the imperial merchant Darwin expressed his gratitude to Roy.

When Roy came, other imperial merchants did not dare to show up, for fear of evoking some bad memories of Roy and making their situation more difficult.

The deck of this merchant ship was full of oak barrels, and the bow did not have a ram, but a whale hunting crossbow was set up.

The imperial merchant Darwin leaned against the whale hunting crossbow because Roy was very interested in this giant crossbow...

There was no such long-range seated machine crossbow on his three-masted sailing ships. If this heavy crossbow could be transported back to the seawall of Sun Island Bay, it is estimated that those toadfish cavalry would not dare to approach the dock of Sun Island Bay.

Seeing that Roy was very interested in the whale hunting crossbow, the imperial merchant Darwin took the initiative to introduce this bed crossbow.

In fact, this whale hunting crossbow was one of the few self-protection means on this merchant ship.

Unfortunately, there were no extra whale hunting crossbows on the merchant ship. If Roy wanted to order one, the imperial merchant Darwin agreed to help Roy buy it from the dwarf country. This thing is far less expensive than the floating device.

Roy watched the crew carry the elf biscuits onto the merchant ship along the sampan, and couldn't help asking:

"Has the plane of the Green Empire also been attacked by dark creatures?"

The Empire merchant Darwin looked at Roy with a complicated expression and said:

"In the Green Empire, almost all the rich planes are in the hands of the imperial family and the dukes of various provinces. The imperial army continuously plunders resources from various planes and transports them to the empire, supporting the prosperity of the entire Green Empire."

"After the plane war broke out, those rich planes were gradually involved in the war."

"In order to prevent the dark forces of the Abyss from entering the Roland Continent through these planes, the military will destroy some of the plane portals that are about to fall, and will also The planes caught in the chaos of war will be militarized, so it is difficult for these planes to continue to supply resources to the Green Empire. "

"At this time, all the Statue of Liberty in the empire were abandoned by the priests, and the priests and priests in the temples disappeared. "

"The Construct Knights, who lack priests and priests, can only rely on life potions when fighting on the battlefield. And those planes rich in herbs have fallen, so we will travel across the ocean and run to the Elf Continent to purchase magic herbs!"

Roy was a little absent-minded and said, "Have the Statue of Liberty in the Green Empire been abandoned by the priests?"

"Although I can't say all of them, it's almost like this!" Darwin, the imperial merchant, said casually.

It seems that the situation in Roland Continent is more complicated than that in Elf Continent...

At present, there is no news of the outbreak of plane wars on the Elf Continent.

The only news was that the priests of the Statue of Liberty had given up Golfito Canyon, and all the priests disappeared inexplicably...

...

With an inexplicably heavy heart, Roy returned to Partington Island on a three-masted sailing ship.

At this time, there were no half-blood elves stranded on Partington Island, but when the sailing ship passed by the island pier, Roy found that a large number of supply ships were moored at the pier, and these supply ships almost occupied all the berths of the island pier.

Roy gave up the idea of ​​docking the ship at the island pier and carefully counted the supply ships moored at the island pier. There were more than 30 ships.

It really scared Roy.

The three-masted sailing ship had to sail towards the island's sheltered bay.

When Roy landed on the sheltered bay, he asked the half-blood elf crew to move all the supplies on the ship to the magic airship on the shore that had completed all the renovation projects.

Taking this opportunity, Roy came to the dock of Partington Island. He wanted to know why there were so many supply ships moored at the island dock. Could it be that the Queen Ivennie Islands were preparing for war again? .

Roy's three-masted sailing ship arrived at Partington Island in the evening. He naturally did not see the scene of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights heading from the Queen Ivennie Islands to Golfito in the morning, but this did not prevent the half-blood elves on the dock from telling Roy the news.

Along with the thirty supply ships, there were also three thousand Silver Moon Elf warriors from two Silver Pegasus Legion Infantry Guards.

At this moment, these Silver Moon Elf warriors were sitting on the beach next to the island dock to rest.

When Roy passed by the beach, he heard several Silver Moon Elf officers whispering to each other beside the reef beach.

"What bad luck!"

"If Brad and Craven hadn't suddenly gone to Partington to become mine owners, they would have been the ones on this business trip..."

"That's right! Why should our two guard groups go to Golfito?"

"Hey, hey, hey, keep your voice down. If the higher-ups hear these words, they will probably go to Partington to mine..."

Roy thought it would be better to stay as far away as possible to avoid being seen and embarrassed.

When he arrived at the island dock, Roy found that the half-blood elves had transported a large amount of supplies from Partington Town and placed them in the cabin of a medium-sized sailing ship.

Seeing several familiar captains on the dock of Partington Island, Roy walked over with a relaxed expression.

These captains knew Roy's identity, so they naturally did not deliberately conceal their mission.

Their supply ships will depart from Partington Island, sail all the way north, and eventually land at the port of Murayaki on the west coast of the Horn Strait.

Then a transport team will take this batch of supplies westward, cross the Oxkes Mountains, and enter the Golfito Canyon.

This is the closest way from the Queen Eweni Islands to the Golfito Canyon. The only drawback is that more than half of this road is a long and boring sea route.

I didn't expect that the Silver Pegasus Legion would actually send troops to Golfito.

It seems that there is really a big problem in Golfito.

Roy was a little worried about High Priest Reed in the Dark Land. He learned from the second-level strongman Byron Thor that the dark creatures in the Dark Land were extremely powerful and High Priest Reed was not living well there.

Although he was a little worried, Roy did not think about going to the Dark Land.

What would happen if he went to the Dark Land alone?

…

The sixth magic airship was filled with excellent quality equipment that Roy brought back from Castletown City, and flew into Padstow City under Roy's leadership.

Nowadays, the half-blood elf residents in Padstow City have long been accustomed to the magic airships that quietly roam around in the sky. Some merchants even ran to the airport terminal to inquire about the price of the ticket.

For some merchants, the price of one magic crystal stone for one airship ticket is somewhat expensive.

This time when Roy arrived in Padstow City, he did not report to the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters.

He just strolled around the bustling Padstow City and was about to take the magic airship to the Plateau City.

However, the population of half-blood elves in Padstow City has experienced an explosive growth. The city is full of half-blood elves, and new tree houses have appeared on the hillside opposite.

When Roy passed a small square in the city, he saw a middle-aged half-blood elf standing on a truck, giving an emotional speech to a dozen half-blood elves around him.

‘… We came here from the oppressed elf continent. Do we have to continue to accept the oppression of the Silver Moon Elves? ’

‘… This is obviously our city, but why is the city manager the Silver Moon Elves? ’

‘… Have you ever thought that our parents have been oppressed by the Silver Moon Elves, we are suffering from the oppression of the Silver Moon Elves, and our children will face the same problem in the future. Do we really have to live like this? ’

Roy stood at the edge of the small square and listened to the passionate middle-aged half-blood elf's speech before turning around and leaving without saying a word.
