Path of light

Chapter 757 758. Meeting

Roy had the nautical charts of all the areas of the Endless Sea compiled by Abbot himself. Seeing that many lines on the nautical charts taken out by Mrs. Nancy were blurred, he took out the nautical charts compiled by Abbot from his magic waist bag and found the nautical chart of the waters near the Queen Eweni Islands.

Sure enough, Abbot's nautical chart was much more comprehensive and clear. The approximate distances between many islands were even marked. What's more exaggerated is that Abbot actually marked the direction of the ocean currents and even wrote in the notes which months of the year are more suitable for sailing.

"Your set of nautical charts is quite complete. The person who drew this set of nautical charts must have put a lot of thought into it." Mrs. Nancy praised rarely.

"He was my close friend Abbot, but unfortunately he died. I killed him myself." Roy said calmly while holding the nautical chart.

It's been so long since this happened, and he has slowly begun to let it go...

Mrs. Nancy was a little surprised and asked Roy: "Does he have a reason to die?"

Roy nodded and said: "He killed our mutual friend Jasper for a treasure map he picked up from the gray dwarves. I looked for him for a long time and finally found him in the Partington plane and took him back to Castletown..."

Mrs. Nancy pursed her lips, tapped Roy's shoulder and said: "No wonder many Silver Moon elves said that you killed many Silver Moon elves in the Partington plane, and even Silver Moon elf nobles. It seems that these things are not just groundless."

"Some people do something wrong and must be punished." Roy said as a matter of course.

Mrs. Nancy smiled, looked at the sea chart that Roy took out, pointed to an island on it and said:

"In recent years, the gray dwarf bandits have always attacked the Queen Ewenni Islands. According to the clues brought by some merchants, I guess there may be a group of gray dwarf bandits hiding on the island."

Roy didn't know what Mrs. Nancy did before, but she was very familiar with this sea and always knew something that others didn't know.

She was also more knowledgeable than many elves...

...

After leaving Mrs. Nancy's house, Roy came to the dock of Partington Island and found a medium-sized sailing ship on the dock that was about to go to the Queen Ewenni Islands. He rushed to the Queen Ewenni Islands overnight.

On the medium-sized sailing ship, Roy could enjoy a separate cabin, and almost all the captains of the Silver Moon Elf knew Roy...

After all, in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, Roy was the only half-elf with the status of the head of the regiment.

Officers who had never seen Roy only needed to take a look at the head of the regiment badge on his chest to know his identity.

After all, the Partington Mine Guards are still very famous in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. They have achieved brilliant results twice in the Queen Eweni Islands. In addition, they have traveled to the Golfito Canyon to perform missions, allowing the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to float over the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp.

More officers know the name "Roy" because the Council of Senior Elf Elders has been investigating Captain Roy for several consecutive years, suspecting that he illegally killed the Silver Moon Elf nobles.

Now the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is preparing to evacuate from the Partington plane, and the Mine Guards are also facing forced dissolution.

There are also several rumors about where Captain Roy will go in the Silver Pegasus Military.

Roy lay in the cabin and waited until the medium-sized sailboat docked at the new dock of Queen Island before he came out and got off the medium-sized sailboat first.

On the new dock, a Silver Moon Elf officer came up, stood in front of Roy, and said to him:

"Captain Roy, Earl Swinburne knows that you may come to Queen Island in the next two days, so he specially arranged for me to wait for you here." The Silver Moon Elf officer saluted Roy and said very respectfully.

"I want to see Lord Earl Swinburne, is it convenient now?" Roy asked directly.

"Lord Earl is waiting for you in the office, please follow me..."

The officer walked out along the sampan built on the dock, crossed the beach and rainforest, and finally came to the tree of life.

Some Silver Moon Elf guards stood at the bottom of the steps of the tree of life. Roy stepped onto the steps. This time when he came to Queen Ewenni Islands, he always felt a little weird, as if many eyes were watching him around.

Roy didn't care about those looks at all...

Walking into the first floor hall of the Tree of Life, there was a large space here. Roy looked up as if he had sensed something, and just saw Earl Swinburne standing on the terrace on the third floor, looking down at the situation in the first floor hall.

Roy immediately saluted Earl Swinburne. The Earl looked a little tired and just raised his hand slightly.

...

When Roy walked into Earl Swinburne's office, the Earl sat on the chair, looked up at Roy, and asked him:

"What is the situation in the Partington plane?"

Roy introduced the war in the western sea area, mainly talking about the frequent heavy losses of the Siren Legion on the Faceless Legion.

Earl Swinburne was a little surprised and asked Roy, "You mean the Siren Tribe is currently the main force to resist the Dark Faceless Legion?"

"Yes. Although the Dark Faceless Legion has occupied the entire western sea area, the Siren Legion has been reorganized and has fought three beautiful raids in succession during this period... Must the Partington plane be abandoned?"

Roy couldn't help but ask.

Earl Swinburne nodded and said:

"The Council of Senior Elf Elders has made a final decision to stop the supply of all military supplies to the Partington plane, and ordered the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to withdraw from the plane within two months, and will be closed after three months The portal completely cuts off the connection with the Partington plane."

"..."

Roy wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, he thought of what Mrs. Nancy said.

The Mine Guard Group can only exist in the Partington plane. Once the Partington plane is lost, the Mine Guard Group will also be disbanded.

Even if these mixed elves take off their standard armor, they may not be able to return to the elven continent.

Roy asked Lord Swinburne:

"What about the Mine Guard Corps? Is the Legion going to completely abandon the mines on the Pagisto Plateau?"

"The military has almost no binding force on the Partington Plane Mine Guard Group. Your military expenditures also come from the mines on the Pagisto Plateau. If the mines on the Pagisto Plateau still need the protection of the Guard Group, It’s okay to stay, but after closing the portal, the mine guard group will be cut off from the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.”

Earl Swinburne said directly.

He stared at Roy, trying to find something hidden in Roy's eyes.

He even predicted that the mixed elves would not leave the Partington plane, or that only a small number of mixed elves would return to the elven continent.

Roy saw a lot of things from the Earl's eyes. Roy had always thought that Earl Swinburne was very friendly to the mixed elves and was a rare affinity sect in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. Now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Roy lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly said to Earl Swinburne:

"I will transport the magic metal ingots stored in various mines to Partington Island. This may be the last thing I can do. The mine guards will not withdraw from the Partington plane, even if Partington The plane's portal is closed, and I will stay there."

Hearing what Roy said, Earl Swinburne nodded with satisfaction.

"Tell me about it. Is there anything else I can do to help?"

"I want to fight another gray dwarf bandit before the portal is closed, and capture another group of gray dwarf prisoners of war to go to the Partington plane. In the future, the miners in the mines on the Pagisto Plateau will become this group of gray dwarves. . My magic airship fleet needs to return to Partington Island through the portal, give me two weeks."

Earl Swinburne thought carefully and agreed:

"Okay, I will find a way to apply for a teleportation pass. It only takes two weeks. Don't stay at sea for too long. When the time comes, I will dispatch two Silver Pegasus Knights to assist you."

Roy came to see Earl Swinburne this time just to test it out one last time. He already knew the answer from Lady Nancy.

Earl Swinburne's tone was still extremely gentle.

But Roy knew that the two Silver Pegasus Knights were sent here to assist in the battle, but rather to monitor the mine guard group.

"Thank you, Lord Swinburne."

Sometimes he had to say things he didn't mean, which annoyed Roy.

"A plane war broke out in the Green Empire. The human lords are actively resisting the dark army of the Abyss. Why can't the elves?"

Roy finally couldn't help but question Earl Swinburne.

"Because elves cannot reproduce in large numbers like humans, war will only cause the elves to quickly reduce their population. This is the last thing we want to see. Therefore, the High Elf Elders Council hopes to cut off the plane war when it is in its infancy. Connections over there.”

Earl Swinburne replied without changing his expression.

"Then I will make some preparations first. A week later, I will personally take the magic airship through the portal of Partington Island, and then fly directly to Jigan Island on the eastern edge of the Queen Egwene Islands, using that island as a temporary supply camp , searching for the hiding place of the gray dwarf bandits in the depths of the endless sea.”

After Roy finished speaking, he stood up on his own initiative and saluted Earl Swinburne with a military salute.

The look in Earl Swinburne's eyes was a bit complicated. I wonder if he regretted it...

Roy used all the magic metal ingots in the Pagisto Plateau to buy a teleportation ticket for the mine guard group, hoping to build a teleportation gate on an island outside the territory of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

After settling Earl Swinburne's side, Roy still has to find a way to meet Archmage Cedric.

He needs the help of the great magician Cedric to move the portal to the island with an active volcano.

Less than two hours after arriving at the Queen Evening Islands, Roy found that he had completed the purpose of his trip, and now he could go to the pier to wait for the boat.

The beach near the pier is full of scorch marks, and it will take a long time to restore the original scenery.

In the clear water, there are many charred ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Some of the ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea have even become hiding places for fish.

There were very frequent ships between Queen Island and Partington Island, and soon Roy boarded a medium-sized sailboat and left Queen Evenney Island...

…

Two days later, Roy walked out of the Castletown Port Pier. He took a carriage directly to the Magic Guild, and took the Magic Guild's teleportation gate to reach Waupeye City.

Roy couldn't find Grand Magister Cedric, but he knew that Grimes was in Waupeye.

As long as you find Grimes, you will know the news about Magister Ellaud, and then you can find Grand Magister Cedric through Magister Ellaud.

Although Roy's pockets were full of magic crystals, the expensive teleportation fee still made him feel a little painful...

Walking out of the teleportation hall, Roy stood alone at the street corner.

It was raining in the magic city of Wopeye, and the fine rain fell on Roy, so he had to put on a magic cloak.

He soon found a carriage, told the address to the driver, and then got into the carriage. After he got into the carriage, he did not close the door, but asked the air at the door of the carriage: "Why are you two standing outside? Come in quickly, I'm in a hurry!"

At this time, the two Dark Moon Elf Assassin hybrids hiding in the shadows quickly revealed their figures, quickly got into the carriage, and then quickly disappeared.

Roy just thought that the two of them did not exist. This time when he returned to the Elf Continent, Roy brought Leah with him, but when he came to Wopeye City, Roy chose two Dark Moon Elf Assassin warriors.

The carriage traveled in the rain, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

The melodious timekeeping music came from the magic clock tower in the distance, and the rain flowed down the culvert on the street...

Roy stood in front of a magic workshop and knocked hard on the door.

A young magic apprentice pushed the door open and asked Roy: "We are not open to the public here. Who are you looking for?"

"Is the magician Grams here? If he is here, please tell him that Roy from the Partington plane is here to see him." Roy said standing outside the door.

The young magic apprentice looked at Roy curiously, pushed half of the wooden door open, and asked Roy to come in to avoid the rain.

"Please wait at the door for a while, I will report to the teacher..."

The magic apprentice spoke softly and had a good personality. He was a little bit tight when he walked, but he was a male elf magic apprentice.

Roy quickly looked away.

Soon, Grams came to the door, put his arm around Roy's neck, and said to Roy with a smile: "Why did you come to me so soon? Have you thought about... how to let me help you?"

Roy nodded and asked Grams: "Grams, have you heard? The Silver Moon Elf Kingdom is going to give up the Partington plane. They are going to close the portal on Partington Island, so the half-blood elves currently living in the Partington plane are likely to stay in the Partington plane."

"Is it so serious?"

Roy nodded: "I came here this time to ask you for help to move this portal to other islands."

"Ah? You actually made such a request... I'm not a space magician. You have to find Oppaia and her teacher, Lord Jonas, for this matter." Grams said to Roy.

"But I can only find you..."

Roy said to Grams.
