Path of light

Chapter 734 735. Friends

Many half-blood elves and some human crew members gathered at the intersection of Brown Street.

Roy boarded the long carriage with the crowd. He was going to the alchemy workshop to see how the alchemy workshop produced magic potions.

The elves in the carriage were discussing Claire's performance of "Missing through Time and Space". This song has spread throughout Castleton City. The musician Claire has once again become the subject of discussion among the elves in Castleton City.

Thinking about Claire's bumpy music journey, he has a little musical talent, but his creative talent is obviously not much...

Roy thinks Claire is more suitable for business. Due to the influence of his family, he has a wide network of contacts in Castleton City. He can manage Roy's business in Castleton very well with almost any arrangement. Whether it is metal business or herbal business, Claire is helping Roy manage it.

The long carriage passed through the lower city. There were obviously more Silver Moon Elves on the street. The human crew got off at the edge of the magic district. They should go to the upper city to find a tavern to drink.

The carriage drove all the way to the end of the magic district before Roy got off.

The primary alchemy workshop opened by Roy in the magic district has become one of the few large magic workshops in Castleton.

The workshop employs more than 200 magic pharmacists, and almost all of them are magic apprentices. While learning magic, they are also studying magic pharmacy.

In Roy's alchemy workshop, the magic potions are all some primary magic herbal formulas, which are very suitable for primary magic pharmacists to work part-time...

The primary magic potions in the alchemy workshop are also very cheap, and the main feature is a large volume and thin profit.

The workshop has no requirements for magic pharmacists. They recruit magic apprentices who only need to know a little magic.

According to Roy's arrangement, magic apprentices do assembly line-like work in the alchemy workshop. The refining of magic potions is usually divided into several steps: initial treatment of herbs, grinding, boiling medicine juice, and mixing several medicine juices together for reaction.

In Roy's alchemy workshop, all magic pharmacists deal with the simplest primary magic herbs, and each magic pharmacist is only responsible for one process.

You can become a skilled worker in one day, but you can't learn any skills in a short period of time...

Woods feels that there is no room for learning for these magic apprentices, so he allows magic apprentices who have worked in the same position for four weeks to apply for a job change.

According to Woods, the owner of the alchemy workshop, as long as all the magic herb refining processes in the alchemy workshop are completed once, then the magic apprentice is considered a qualified primary magic pharmacist.

In the past, magic pharmacists who wanted to be promoted to senior magic pharmacists usually paid for learning refining skills, and this practice process was often very expensive.

Now they came to the alchemy workshop, where they could not only practice the skills of making magic potions, but also earn a living every week. The only drawback was that the progress was a little slow...

In comparison, many magic apprentices who wanted to become magic pharmacists came to Roy's alchemy workshop to work part-time

A large batch of super life potions were produced here every month and sold to the imperial merchant Darwin.

When Roy came to the door of the workshop, he could smell the strong smell of magic herbs coming from the house. There was a row of flatbed carriages parked at the door of the alchemy workshop, and there were carriages pulling magic herbs and parked at the unloading area of ​​the workshop.

The workshop was also very lively. Roy even saw many elves queuing in front of the shop at the door of the workshop.

After standing at the door of the alchemy workshop for a while, Roy wanted to step into the magic workshop, but was stopped by a magic apprentice who said very politely:

"Dear guest, if you want to buy magic potions, please line up at the door to buy them."

There was a lot of personnel turnover at the alchemy workshop, so it was not surprising that the magic apprentice did not know Roy.

Roy glanced at the magic apprentice and politely explained his purpose. The magic apprentice passed the message inside, and soon Woods ran out of the magic workshop...

The first time he saw Roy, Woods said to Roy:

"You seem a little different today..."

Roy was a little dazed and touched his face behind him.

...

Recently, the opera house in Castletown City has almost every day a concert by the musician Claire.

Not only the residents of Castletown City come to listen to the concert, but also the Silver Moon Elves from other cities in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom come here...

Roy and Woods have no intention of listening to music. They heard a row of carriages in front of the back door of the opera house, and Roy and Woods waited next to a carriage.

At this time, it was just the end of the concert. Claire ran out of the music hall, and she didn't even have time to change her performance clothes, and got into Roy and Claire's carriage.

The coachman immediately raised his whip and drove the carriage on the dark street towards the port pier in the lower city.

"If you don't come back this time, I'm going to write you a letter! Roy, do you know that there is a huge quarrel in the capital of Buenos Aires because of the Partington plane?"

Clerc got into the carriage and brought very bad news.

The three friends took a carriage to the Black Pearl, which had been empty since Miss Tiffany left. In order to ensure that the Black Pearl would not be stolen by homeless people and other weird elves, Woods went to the Black Pearl every night. To live on the Black Pearl.

He also has to take care of the flower garden put on...

Woods returned to Castletown almost a month and a half ago. After teaching the priests of the Temple Knights to cultivate the Flower of Light, Woods returned to Castletown...

Nowadays, Claire is a hot public figure. He will cause commotion among the elves wherever he goes. Only on the Black Pearl can he be more casual.

The three friends were sitting on the deck chairs, hanging a white lantern on the main mast, and chatting casually.

Roy's cup contained diluted sap of the Tree of Life.

This is musician Claire's daily drink. With his current status, he has an ample supply of tree of life sap every day. Roy usually doesn't like tree sap of life, but Woods likes to drink it very much.

"I heard that there is an army of dark faceless men on the Partington plane. What is the specific situation?"

It was Claire who spoke.

Roy replied:

"The Dark Faceless Legion has occupied the western sea, and the Kraken have been driven out of their homeland. Now the Faceless Legion plans to invade the Sun Island Bay. I built a city wall at the entrance of the bay, which can barely block the darkness and the Faceless Legion. Face person.”

Woods and Carlisle were silent for a moment.

Claire put her hands behind her head, lying on the wicker chair and said:

"Now an elf scholar in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom has published a theory on the threat of darkness, which has had a great response among the elf nobles. Many elf nobles are worried that dark forces will invade the elf world itself, and some elf nobles are uneasy about this."

He paused and turned to look at Roy:

"Some elves even proposed to the Council of Elders to abandon the Partington plane..."

"..."

The three friends were silent again.

Woods said: "In the final analysis, it is because the Partington plane is all mixed-blood elves. Whether to give up the Partington plane will not affect their interests. In addition, once the Partington plane is given up, it will also remove the biggest concern in their hearts. If I were a Silver Moon Elf, I would also support this proposal.”

As a Silver Moon Elf, Woods' words obviously made Claire a little embarrassed, but this is also true.

Claire asked Roy: "If this happens, how will the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion react?"

Roy gave a helpless smile. The Silver Moon elves always had the habit of approaching the Silver Pegasus Legion garrison to solve problems when they encountered difficulties...

But Roy knows the actual situation of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion best.

He said: "After the naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands, I discovered that although the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion has twelve Silver Pegasus Knights, the area that needs to be garrisoned by the Legion is also very large, except for a quarter of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. Beyond the west coast of 1, there are The Queen Egwene Islands now have another Silver Pegasus Knights stationed in Golfito Canyon. Don't even think about sending the Silver Pegasus Knights to Partington, let alone two Silver Pegasus Knights. Entering the Partington plane cannot change the situation of the war."

When Roy said that the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion had all entered the Partington plane, and they couldn't figure out the Faceless Men Legion inside, Claire was startled. He suddenly sat up from the wicker chair, stunned. Looking at Roy:

"Is the situation on the Partington plane serious?"

Facing his friends, Roy did not hide the situation there.

"Well, the number of dark faceless men who poured into the Partington plane was so huge that they almost overwhelmed the Siren tribe in the sea. Of course, fortunately, the elves live on land, and Par Desto Forest is very, very far away from the sea. Once these dark faceless men land on land, their strength will be at least halved. They should not easily land to fight. I think the mine guard group is fully capable of blocking them from the Bay of Sun Island and beyond. South."

Roy changed his tone and said to his two friends seriously:

"Fighting requires money. The business of magic metals and magic herbs is the strongest support for the war in the Partington plane. So I came back this time to tell you two about the current situation in the Partington plane. You Logistics and material support must be provided.”

At this time Woods also sat up from the wicker chair.

Woods and Claire both assured Roy at the same time:

"Roy, don't worry, we'll leave this to us."

"I'm just a little worried. Once the actual situation of the Partington plane is discovered by those people, it is estimated that there will be more trouble in the capital of Buenos." Claire said with some worry.

"Those Silver Moon Elf nobles...if they want to protest, just let them protest. Anyway, they won't provide any help to the Partington plane. No matter how bad they are, how bad can they be," Woods said.

"I'm afraid they will put pressure on the Arms Manufacturing Department to stop providing military supplies to the Partington plane. That's the most troublesome thing..." Claire expressed her worries.

Roy lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Probably not for the time being, but we have to make some preparations in advance. I plan to use all reserve funds to purchase all military supplies and store them in the Partington plane..."

"I'll arrange this." Claire said proactively.
