Path of light

Chapter 561 562. Boss Roy's Financial Resources

At the airport terminal in Padstow City, a magic airship slowly descended from the clouds.

First, the shuttle-shaped bottom with a deflector appeared, and then the huge hull appeared from the clouds. Twelve floating devices emitted a light blue magic halo. Each floating device had twenty-four blades, and when it rotated at high speed, it would make a low roar.

Roy didn't like this old type of floating device, but these floating devices were compensated by those imperial merchants, and he didn't have much choice...

Either he simply chose not to have them, or he had to wait for the imperial merchant Darwin to transport a batch of new floating devices from the dwarf country.

During the descent of this magic airship, the twelve floating devices were running at high speed, emitting a light blue magic halo that spread around the airship, like a layer of light mist. It was not difficult to see that this magic airship should be fully loaded with cargo.

Magic herbs don't take up much weight. What can press the magic airship into this state is naturally the tons of metal ingots loaded on the ship.

Roy sat in a tea restaurant opposite the airport terminal. This tree house-style tea restaurant is very common in Padstow City. Basically, the restaurant will provide elves with various fruit tea drinks and platters made of fruits.

In order to make it easier for the magic airship to dock, Captain Berkeley trimmed the nearly 100-meter-high oak tree. There are a total of eight docking platforms on the oak tree.

Currently, there is only one magic airship docked at the airport terminal, and another magic airship is slowly landing in the sky.

When this magic airship that landed from the sky completely docked at the airport terminal, the other magic airship was about to set sail...

Roy did not go to see Earl Swinburne with Captain Berkeley. The excuse he found was to come to the airport terminal to pick up the goods.

In a corner of the tea restaurant, Rambo looked over at Roy and confirmed that the person sitting there was Roy. Then he came over and said to Roy with a smile:

"I heard a group of half-blood elves talking privately that you were locked up by the Silver Moon Elves. I was planning to run back to Plateau City to ask for help after confirming the news. Now it seems that the news they provided is not reliable at all."

Roy knew that Rambo was joking. He should have known that he had escaped from the Silver Pegasus Military Department a long time ago.

"Rambo, are you... coming to pick up the goods?"

Roy's eyes fell on the magic airship that was slowly landing outside the window.

Rambo smiled a little embarrassedly and said to Roy frankly: "I don't need to do the picking up of goods here."

"Actually, I just want to hear the news of Plateau City. The crew travels between Plateau City and Padstow. Occasionally, I will come over and sit down and chat with them."

After that, he pointed to the half-blood elf crew members sitting in the corner.

The crew members on these magic airships are basically half-blood elf warriors of the mine guards. They were assigned to the magic airships by Roy and became the crew members of the magic airships.

When the crew members saw Roy looking up at them, they immediately stood up and saluted Roy.

Roy sighed. His good leisure time was ruined just like that.

Roy and Rambo walked in front of these crew members. Roy said a few words of encouragement. The half-blood elf crew members even smiled very stiffly in front of Roy...

Not long after, several half-blood elf crew members found reasons to leave.

At this time, the magic airship that emerged from the clouds was parked steadily in front of the platform of the airport terminal.

Rambo waved to Roy, indicating that he was going to pick up the goods...

Roy sat alone in the restaurant by the window, turned his head and looked at the vast green sea outside the window. This quiet afternoon seemed to be back again.

...

Bernard Xia Zuo did not expect to meet Boss Roy here. He originally just wanted to drink a cup of fruit tea in the tea restaurant.

Seeing Roy chatting with a group of half-blood elf warriors, Bernard Xia Zuo did not approach him without knowing the fun.

He was dressed like a bard.

He carried an organ on his back, a rapier and a recorder on his waist, a light brown leather vest, leather wrist guards, and long leather boots with only some simple perm patterns on them.

He wore a linen long-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray linen trousers.

His hair almost covered his eyes, and he had to use his hands to lift his hair curtain every time to reveal his shrewd eyes.

After taking a sip of fruit tea with mint, he found that the half-blood elf warriors left one after another, and the last half-blood elf also left excitedly. Bernard became a little nervous. He wanted to try to get in touch with Roy, such as finding a random topic to chat about, maybe he could understand the temper and personality of this Boss Roy.

Bernard gave himself countless psychological hints, and mustered up the courage to walk towards Roy...

...

Roy saw a half-blood elf coming over, and secretly crossed out this tea restaurant in his heart, and would never come here next time.

The half-blood elf seemed a little reserved, standing in front of Roy, and asked Roy very politely:

"Boss Roy, my name is Bernard Xia Zuo. During my time traveling in Padstow City, I always heard your name from other half-blood elves. Can I sit here... and chat with you?"

Roy nodded, looked at Bernard Xia Zuo calmly, and asked him:

"What do you want to talk about?"

Bernard sat up straight and said in a magnetic voice:

"After the portal was unlocked, I came to the Partington plane. During this time, I have been living in Padstow, a beautiful and rich city, where almost all the residents are half-blood elves."

"I have been to many places, and except for here, there is no other elven city where half-blood elves can live as... interestingly as the half-blood elves here!"

His voice is unique, comfortable and contagious.

"The half-blood elves here are very active in everything they do, and I find that they are looking forward to the future."

"I have heard about some of Boss Roy's deeds. In addition to Padstow, there seems to be a small town at the foot of the Griffin Barrier Mountains. The half-blood elves in that town live more freely. I heard that you also built a plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau?" Bernard asked Roy.

Roy nodded again.

"I am a bard, and I always like to walk around." Bernard continued.

"I have seen half-blood elves living at the bottom of society in many places. They have a hard life."

"I think this is the most suitable city for half-blood elves to live. Here I can see equality and respect among elves. Do you agree with me?"

Bernard Xia Zuo raised his head and looked at Roy.

Roy smiled, spread his hands and asked him:

"What kind of world do you think is the ideal world in your imagination?"

Bernard thought about it seriously, and then said: "A rich place that will not be affected by the war. Half-blood elves can live in a corner and not interact with other elves. All half-blood elves can live freely... This is the ideal world in my heart."

Roy suddenly thought of something. Recently, both Captain Berkeley and Rambo had reminded him that a group of half-blood elves had appeared in Padstow City recently, and declared independence everywhere in the city.

Roy could see that Bernard should be a member of that organization.

Roy lowered his head, holding the cup with both hands, his eyes fell on a piece of crystal floating ice in the cup, and said slowly:

"I don't think so. What the half-blood elves want is equality, and what they want is to gain the respect of other elves through their own efforts, rather than to live a secluded life in seclusion."

"We don't need the sympathy, pity and special treatment of other elves. The freedom I yearn for is 'whatever my heart desires, I will go on with my bare feet'..."

Bernard Xiazo was stunned by Roy's words, because he found that a golden holy tree with countless flowers of light appeared behind Roy, and Roy's body was even wrapped in a layer of faint holy light.

Bernard suddenly felt as if Roy, who was sitting opposite him, was a priest spreading faith...

"I know it's not easy to achieve such a goal."

Pointing to the busy half-blood elves on the airport dock outside the window, Roy said softly:

"But I also know that they are always working towards this direction..."

...

Before entering the office on the top floor of the military, Siagran was somewhat nervous.

Although she was considered a confidant of Earl Swinburne, every time she reported to Earl Swinburne about the business situation of the business, she was a little worried that the magic herb trade she was responsible for would not satisfy Earl Swinburne...

In fact, this kind of thing is most afraid of comparison. If she was the only one in Partington plane who was engaged in the magic herb trade, Siagran might still be complacent about her performance.

But now, the young half-elf who is most respected by the half-blood elves in Partington plane, Boss Roy, got the right to operate the primary magic herb from Earl Swinburne.

At first, Siagran didn't care about the business of primary magic herbs, so the entire primary magic herb market was quickly seized by Roy...

And the magic herbs with the largest output in the Partington plane are primary magic herbs.

Since Boss Roy started the business of primary magic herbs, he has firmly controlled the primary magic herbs in the three areas of Blackwater Swamp, Griffin Barrier Mountains, and Pagisto Plateau.

Siagran roughly calculated Roy's revenue from the trade of primary magic herbs. From the lifting of the ban on the plane portal to the present, Roy has earned at least 400,000 magic crystals from the trade of primary magic herbs, while Siagran's Silver Pegasus Military Trading Company only earned 700,000 magic crystals in a quarter...

Speaking of those primary magic herbs... Obviously, they are things that he doesn't care about, who would have thought that the price would skyrocket inexplicably.

It was because of these bad things that Siagran felt a little uneasy when she heard that Earl Swinburne summoned her...

The leather boots stepped on the floor in the corridor, making a rhythmic sound of footsteps.

Siagran touched her flat belly, took a deep breath, straightened her chest, pursed her lips, stood in front of the exquisitely carved wooden door, and knocked gently.

The wooden door was opened from the inside, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, with a pair of lively eyes like the most beautiful moon fountain in the Elf Continent.

"Mrs. Siagran, father is waiting for you!"

Miss Christine said to Siagran, her voice was cold and a little sweet.

Siagran reached out and held Miss Christine's white little hand, smiled and praised Miss Christine:

"Our Christine is also a big elf!"

When the Silver Moon elves praise an elf as a great elf, it does not mean that she has become mature, but that she has become a great elf archer respected by all elves.

Miss Christine opened the door and Sia Grand walked into the office.

Earl Swinburne was sitting behind the desk, carefully reviewing a book of information. When he saw Siyagland walking in, he raised his head and motioned for her to sit on the chair opposite.

"Good morning, Lord Earl!"

Seagoran saluted and sat down.

"Seagrand, tell me your impression of Roy. I know this may not be a good evaluation. I don't want to hear an objective evaluation. I want to hear some opinions on Roy from your perspective." Earl Swinburne said.

Sia Grand was slightly startled. She suddenly didn't know what to say.

Earl Swinburne's words obviously meant that she should appropriately bring up some of Roy's shortcomings. So what are this guy's shortcomings?

Sia Gran didn't speak in a hurry, she thought about it seriously.

"Then let me talk about my feelings about Governor Roy! I didn't know him very well before, and I didn't even know that he was a half-elf. But when I really started to notice the name Roy, he was actually the only one who knew him. It took a week to occupy the market share of all primary magic herbal medicines in Padstow City. That’s when I learned that he had obtained the business rights of primary magic herbal medicines from you.”

Siagrand fell into memories and recounted:

"At that time, the Silver Pegasus Trading Company did not trade primary magic herbs in the Partington plane, because I thought the added value of those primary magic herbs was too low, so the primary magic herbs in the Partington plane were not available for a long time. It’s all a situation that no one cares about.”

"Governor Roy reached into the primary magic herb market. When he first determined the purchase price, even in the magic herb market in the Elf Continent, the price he set was on the high side. At that time, I even calculated the losses during removal. After paying the shipping fee, will he still make money?”

"At that time, because the plane portal had not yet been lifted, the life of the mixed-blood elves in the city was not very good..."

"It was he who began to purchase large amounts of primary magic herbs in Padstow City, which greatly improved the lives of the mixed elves in the city at that time. Many young mixed elves tried to enter the Padstow Forest to collect some Beginner Magic Herbs to earn some pocket money.”

"Later, he directly monopolized the market of primary magic herbs in Blackwater Swamp. It didn't take long for imperial merchants to flood into the Elf Continent in large numbers. The price of magic herbs skyrocketed because the unit price of primary magic herbs was extremely low. During the increase in the price of magic herbs, , only the price of primary magic herbs will increase exponentially."

Earl Swinburne's eyes fell on the information on the table...

Whenever he was thinking seriously, he would keep tapping the table with his middle finger.

‘Tuk, Tuk, Tuk…’

It keeps ringing...
