Path of light

Chapter 555 556. Return to Padstow

The three-masted sailing ship did not start the propulsion device. The half-elves raised the sails and let the sea breeze blow the three-masted sailing ship to the Sun Island.

When the weather is clear, the beautiful Sun Island Bay is like a magnificent sapphire. The coral reefs make the seabed colorful. Standing on the bow, you can see schools of fish in the sea water everywhere.

When the three-masted sailing ship approached the Sun Island, it was discovered that the entire island had become a ruin.

When the deep-sea monster woke up from the bottom of the sea, the entire island was shaken. The island, which was originally covered with lush tropical rainforests, is now mostly buried in rubble. Only a few coconut trees on the edge of the island have survived.

Not only that, the entire pattern of the Sun Island has also changed greatly.

The original Sun Island was a round island, but now it looks like a horseshoe. The middle part of the horseshoe is occupied by sea water, and piles of rocks can be seen emerging from the sea.

Weeds have grown in the cracks of many rocks, and the messy grass leaves are swaying in the sea breeze...

Roy transferred from the magic airship to a flying fish boat and approached the deserted Sun Island.

The sea monster asked Zena that there should be a cold pond on the island, and now it seems that the cold pond should be completely buried by the rocks.

Roy pointed to the blue sea around him and said to the village chief of Tiprado:

"Sun Island Bay is a natural fishing ground. One day, the fishery resources here will be transported to the Plateau City and Padstow City. If you want to transport fishery resources out, in addition to having a magic airship, you must also build an ice-making workshop at the dock."

"The ice-making workshop is very simple. Just buy a magic rune board of "freezing magic". Just keep adding water to the tank to freeze ice cubes." The village chief of Tiprado said casually.

When Roy was in Castletown City, he would go to the ice-making workshop to buy some ice cubes to cool off during the hottest summer every year.

But he never knew that these ice blocks were made of ice magic rune cloth...

"...That's true." Roy smiled awkwardly.

Originally thought it was a troublesome matter, but it turned out to be easily solved with magic...

Roy originally wanted to build the lighthouse at the highest point of Sun Island, but now Sun Island has been razed.

He could only build a lighthouse at the southernmost point of the island.

Roy walked around the ruined island. Some cracks in the rocks still emitted a foul smell. Every time he passed through an area with a strong odor, he could see some green-shelled scavenger crabs running out of the cracks...

After circling over the island, a griffin cavalryman landed directly on the beach more than 50 meters in front of Roy and the village chief Tiprado.

He jumped off the griffin's back swiftly and ran towards the village chief Tiprado and Roy.

Roy and the village chief Tiprado stopped and turned to look at this half-blood elf cavalryman.

"Captain, Boss Roy, Lord Mulin of the Plateau City sent a message that the group of Silver Moon Elves in the Caldim Mountains are capturing half-blood elves everywhere, and some half-blood elves are fleeing to the southern part of the plateau..." The half-blood elf cavalry ran to Roy and reported in a low voice.

Roy frowned and looked at the village chief of Tiprado, then asked:

"What exactly is going on?"

The half-blood elf griffin cavalry did not explain anything more, and directly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Roy: "This is a letter from Lord Mulin to you!"

Roy took Mulin's letter and pulled out the letter paper inside.

After a while, Roy's face completely darkened. The two Silver Moon Elves were really stupid. If they had known that they would cause such trouble, they should have driven them back to Padstow.

"I'll go back to the Plateau City now!" Roy said to the village chief of Tiprado: "You will be in charge of building the lighthouse on this island."

"Boss Roy, just leave it to me. The port on the north coast has been built, and this small lighthouse is even simpler..." The village chief of Tiprado agreed happily.

Roy did not stay on the island any longer. He returned directly to the magic airship. Then all the twelve floating devices on the magic airship were turned on. The magic airship quickly rose into the wind flow layer and flew to the Caldim Mountains on the Pagisto Plateau.

...

In fact, there is no Silver Moon Elf Army in the entire Partington plane.

On the Partington plane, the largest force is the mine guard regiment led by Roy, followed by the Padstow Security Guard Regiment led by Captain Berkeley.

All the Silver Moon Elf officers in the hands of Captain Brad and Captain Trevin only have 150 people.

There was an incident in the silver mine in the Caldim Mountains where a half-blood elf warrior left the army without authorization, and they were simply unable to stop it.

The two Silver Moon Elf captains realized that it was useless to stay in the silver mine in the south of the Caldeum Mountains, so they followed the way they came, crossed the Caldeum Mountains and the wilderness with great difficulty, and returned to the Plateau City.

As for the two thousand half-blood elf warriors they led, some ran back to the Plateau City, some slipped to the spinel mine in the south of the plateau, and some simply fled to the north of the plateau, preparing to look for the half-blood elf rebels led by Captain Helic.

When Roy arrived at the silver mine in the south of the Caldeum Mountains on a magic airship, the two captains had already led their team back to the Plateau City in a hurry.

The two Silver Moon Elf leaders planned to take the Plateau City's magic airship and return to Padstow City immediately.

As the governor of the Plateau City, Mu Lin naturally did not let the magic airship at the airport dock set sail immediately. She could not figure out what the two Silver Moon Elf leaders would do after they returned to Padstow City. , secretly suspended the normal shipping of the magic airship and waited until Roy came back.

…

When Roy came to the city hall of Plateau City, he immediately met with Mu Lin to understand the current situation.

I heard that the two Silver Moon Elf leaders were still stranded in the Plateau City, and I heard from Mu Lin that some mixed elves who had escaped from the Kaltim Mountains ran to the Plateau City to seek protection from Mu Lin. Then she said to Mu Lin: "I want to meet those mixed elves and find out what happened!"

"I'll get someone to call them over!" Mu Lin said.

An adjutant behind her immediately walked out of the hall, and soon brought more than fifty mixed elves into the hall of the city hall.

Then Mu Lin briefly introduced what happened, which was actually not much different from what Mu Lin wrote in the letter.

In general, the two Silver Moon Elf leaders used their mixed-blood Elf warriors as free mine workers. When facing the plateau headhunters, they were just a group of Elf warriors. When they lived in an abandoned silver mine, They are a group of free laborers, but even the lowest level Silver Moon Elf captains do not need to work in the silver mines.

This kind of differential treatment completely exploded the pent-up anger in the hearts of the mixed elf warriors.

Although there was no mutiny in the army, there was a large-scale desertion of mixed-blood elf warriors from the army.

Roy sighed and said to these mixed elves:

"No matter what, you have all become deserters. If you want to give us an explanation, I suggest you go to the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters with me. We can sit down and explain things clearly in person, or you can talk about it in the future. Don’t go back to Padstow City, you can still live well on the Padstow Plateau.”

One of the middle-aged mixed-blood elves walked out of the crowd and said to Roy: "Boss Roy, I want to follow you to ask for an explanation."

Roy hesitated and said, "It might be dangerous if you do this."

"Alonso, we will live in the city of the plateau. Don't go to Padstow City. Those Silver Moon elves will not give us any credibility. It is not up to them to say what they will do with us. Something..." someone from the group of mixed-blood elves behind persuaded.

The middle-aged mixed-race elf named Alonso said calmly:

"I'm not afraid. There is no death penalty in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. This matter is not our fault. No matter where I go, I will ask for an explanation. If all the Silver Moon elves feel that what they did is not wrong, then we'd better do it in the future. It’s better not to do things for the Silver Moon elves. Anyway, in the Partington plane, you can live well no matter what you do.”

"Then I'll go too, and I'm willing to stand up and prove that Captain Craven and Captain Brad enslaved us!"

Someone among the mixed elves said immediately.

Roy could see that these mixed elves were also full of grievances...

And once this matter gets bigger, it will inevitably cast a new shadow on the relationship between the Silver Moon Elves and the Mixed-blood Elves.

Originally, with the lifting of the ban on the Partington plane, the relationship between the Silver Moon elves and the mixed-blood elves had eased.

"Okay. In the afternoon, a magic airship will sail to Padstow City. You can come with me."

Roy hesitated and finally said.

He hoped that the Elf Elders Council in Padstow City would be fair when hearing this case.

…

After a brief lunch, Roy came to the airport terminal next to the city wall and saw a large group of mixed-blood elf warriors waiting outside the airport terminal.

More than a hundred Silver Moon Elf warriors surrounded Captain Craven and Captain Brad, setting up a defensive formation inside the airport terminal to confront these mixed-blood Elf warriors.

"What are you all doing here?"

Roy stood at the gate of the airport terminal, and the mixed-blood elf warriors immediately made way for him.

When the Silver Moon Elf warriors saw Roy, they did not take back the sword in their hands. Instead, they tightened their defensive formation even more nervously.

"You guys either get on the magic airship or get out of the way!"

Roy walked inside step by step from the gate and saw that the Silver Moon Elf warriors were not moved at all, so he shouted at them coldly.

Roy walked up to a Silver Moon Elf warrior. The blade of the sword in the Silver Moon Elf warrior's hand almost touched Roy's magic pattern breastplate...

Hundreds of mixed-blood elf warriors suddenly appeared on the surrounding city walls. This group of mixed-blood elf warriors stood almost at the commanding heights of the airport terminal. They were holding excellent quality elf magic longbows in their hands. The sound of the bowstrings being pulled was mixed together. into everyone's ears.

The Silver Moon Elf warriors at the airport terminal retreated one after another. The expressions of all the Silver Moon Elf including Captain Brad and Captain Craven changed drastically.

Roy walked forward again.

Every time he took a step, two feather arrows would fall from both sides of his body.

These feathered arrows were arranged in two straight rows, as if they were opening a passage for him to come out.

The Silver Moon Elf warrior standing in front of him could only retreat in panic...

"Captain Brad, Captain Craven, aren't you going to take this magic airship back to Padstow? Why aren't you ready to board yet?" Roy walked directly in front of the two Silver Moon Elf captains and asked.

"Captain Roy, what are you doing..." Captain Brad stared at Roy with a red and white face and a moody expression.

"I'm going to Padstow too!" Roy said, and then he ignored them and walked up the stairs to the terminal.

The half-blood elf warriors followed him and boarded the magic airship one after another.

At this time, Captain Brad and Captain Craven looked at each other, followed by the Silver Moon Elf Warriors, and prepared to board the magic airship...

When the two of them walked to the platform, a half-blood elf on the airport dock stopped Captains Craven and Brad, and said with a smile:

"Two captains, you haven't bought the airship tickets yet. Each ticket is worth one magic crystal. There are exactly 157 of you. Please pay 157 magic crystals!"

"They..." Captain Brad was about to say the half-blood elf warriors in front, but was pulled by Captain Craven.

The two Silver Moon Elf Captains stood on the airport platform in a rage, took out the money bags from the magic waist bags, and collected 157 magic crystals together, and were allowed to pass by the half-blood elf employees.

Roy stood on the ship's deck and didn't even look at the two Silver Moon Elf Captains. He asked the captain of the magic airship:

"Is the magic airship ready?"

The captain immediately stood up and said to Roy: "Boss Roy, it's ready!"

"Set off immediately!"

Roy ordered the half-blood elf captain.

...

The magic airship, which was not carrying any cargo, arrived at Padstow City smoothly in the evening of the next day.

The magic airship docked at the Padstow Airport Terminal. The two Silver Moon Elf Captains hurriedly took more than 150 Silver Moon Elf Warriors to leave the magic airship and walked out of the airport terminal very quickly.

Roy discussed with the half-blood elf warriors who came by boat. Everyone decided that a group of elves would follow Roy to the Silver Pegasus Military Department tomorrow morning to let the military department mediate first. If the penalty given by the military department is unfair, then go to the Elf Elders Council to sue the two Silver Moon Elf Captains.

Then Roy went to the material warehouse in Padstow City, met with Rambo, and talked about the current situation in Padstow City.

Although Captain Berkeley knew some things, it was not easy for him to tell Roy clearly because of his position.

So Roy asked Rambo to keep an eye on the situation in Padstow City.

Sure enough, when he just met Rambo, he learned from him that an independent half-elves organization was stirring up trouble in Padstow City. It was quite serious during this period. Captain Berkeley's security guard group was in a state of panic every day...
