Path of light

Chapter 301 302. Bail

Sabrina held her hands on the railing of the bow of the supply ship and looked at the endless sea. The sea breeze blew her long hair a little messy.

She pursed her lips, she was in a bad mood, and her eyes were even sullen.

Moira and Miss Tiffany sat at a square table on the deck, staring at the sails swollen by the sea wind, feeling that sailing on the sea was very interesting...

Miss Tiffany told Moira that in the past, she almost always swam through this sea area.

Obviously Moira is also very curious about the underwater world, and Miss Tiffany readily promised Moira that she would definitely let her go to the bottom of the sea to see it if she had the chance.

This was a supply ship for the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. Roy relied on Miss Christine's connections to get the ticket to board the ship.

This time the group left Castletown, and their mood suddenly became much more relaxed.

…

Roy, Claire and Woods stood on the roof of the ship.

I heard that this season is the migration period for killer whales. They have to swim back from the Endless Sea to the Frozen Sea. If you are lucky, you can see the whales swimming northward in this sea area.

Claire and Roy stand together.

Claire closed his eyes and felt the sea breeze blowing in front of him. After a while, he opened his eyes and turned to look at Roy, asking expectantly:

"Roy, do you hear the notes of nature?"

Roy glanced at Claire. I'm afraid this guy is used to being a musician...

"This time I go to the Partington plane, I try to listen to as many melodies of nature as possible."

Claire hugged Roy contentedly and said in a good mood:

"I knew you were reliable. To be honest, I have been trying to compose some songs myself recently, but without the melodies you gave me, I found that the songs I composed were too mediocre."

Roy said with some guilt: "Composing music requires constant practice. Maybe one day you will have inspiration."

"I think this kind of thing requires talent. For example, Roy...you are very talented!" Claire said with some envy.

"Come on, I can't even read the music score. I've told you so many times that the melodies I hum to you are not composed by me. I heard them from various places." Roy explained to Claire.

He didn't know how many times he had to explain this to Claire.

"Then why can't I hear you?" Claire didn't believe it.

Roy turned around and condensed a ball of sacred light in his palm. The white flame seemed to be burning...

"Claire, can you see?" Roy's eyes fell on the flames and asked Claire.

Claire looked at Roy with a strange face and said, "How could I not see such a large sacred light group?"

Roy clenched his open palms into fists, looked around, and asked Claire: "Can you see these sacred glimmers like fireflies floating in the air around me?"

Claire didn't have any affinity with the Holy Light, so how could he see the Holy Light particles, but at this moment he understood what Roy meant: "Um, okay! I really can't see..."

Roy can actually understand the troubles of his friend Claire. This young musician from Castletown has obviously entered a state of self-doubt.

Woods stood on the other side of the ship building, pointed to the sea in the distance, and shouted excitedly: "Roy, Roy...it's a pod of whales! A pod of orcas!"

…

The supply ship arrived at Partington Island in the afternoon.

Roy ran to the pier and hired a carriage to transport all the supplies he purchased to the central square of the town. Because it was difficult to obtain a pass for Partington Island during the recent period, the square was empty and empty. No other merchants are lining up here.

Roy took the teleportation pass signed by Earl Swinburne, walked up to the teleportation gate guard, and handed the pass over.

The guards immediately got out of the way, and Roy and his party successfully entered the Partington plane.

Although the rebellion in the Partington plane had subsided three years ago.

However, the portals on the plane have always been controlled by the military. Even if the Silver Moon Elf nobles want to enter the Partington plane, they need to submit an application to the military, and the approval system is very strict, which makes many Elf nobles give up. Thoughts of returning to Partington.

After passing through the portal, Roy went to the street again to find a carriage.

Claire and Woods helped Roy move the wooden boxes to the carriage, and the three of them sat in the carriage of the carriage.

Claire whispered to Roy: "Roy, have you heard? The news came from the Roland continent. Plane wars have broken out frequently there recently. I heard that the dark army of the abyss opened some The connecting channel between planes.”

Hearing what Claire said, Roy immediately thought of High Priest Reed who was about to enter the dark place.

He didn't know what the relationship between the Abyss and the Dark Land was, but when he heard the name Dark Legion, he felt that it should be inseparable from the Dark Land.

"Has the Dark Army begun to invade various planes?" Roy asked in a low voice.

Claire shook her head slightly and said honestly: "Most of these plane invasions occurred on the plane controlled by the human lords of Roland Continent. There is currently no sign of the elven world being invaded by dark forces."

Roy said with some worry: "During this period, the priests of the Temple of Liberty in the Elf Continent formed three expeditionary armies to enter the dark land. This may be related to this."

"Roy, have you ever thought about becoming another warrior, a sword dancer, a sword poet, a Silver Moon Ranger, anything like that." Claire asked.

"I don't have this plan, I think it's not bad to be a priest..."

Roy said without hesitation.

…

Today's Padstow City has returned to what it was like when Roy first came.

It's just that there are only a few businesses on the street, and the size of the free market has also become much smaller.

Those mixed-blood elves can be seen everywhere on the streets, but there are very few silver moon elves. Currently, there are no traces of silver moon elves nobles in the city.

The mixed elves became the masters of the city.

Without the slave traders and the Silver Moon Elf nobles, the life of the mixed elves here has become much easier.

Many mixed-blood elf hunters brought Warcraft materials with them. They walked out of the jungle and came to Padstow City...

The largest trading company here is the Pegasus Trading Company controlled by the Silver Pegasus Legion. The trading company purchases a large amount of magic herbs and Warcraft materials every day, stores these materials together, and regularly sends these materials to the Elf Continent to maintain the prosperity of the Roland Continent.

The mixed-race elves in the city also live peacefully.

The Silver Pegasus Legion is stationed in the Partington plane. The good thing is that the slave traders in the city disappeared...

Disadvantages: Restrictions on free access to the plane. If mixed-blood elves want to leave the Partington plane, they not only need to pay a large amount of money, but the approval of the teleportation pass is also quite troublesome.

Recently, Earl Swinburne is busy leading the Silver Pegasus Army garrison to expand northward. It is said that the Silver Pegasus Army has advanced several hundred kilometers northward.

The Earl of Swinburne's territory also continued to expand.

Roy would stay in Padstow City for a whole day this time, which meant that he would not leave Padstow City until the morning after tomorrow, so the group found a hotel to stay.

Everyone took the sea boat for most of the day, and spent half a day at the teleportation gate. At the end of the day, we were tired and sleepy. After checking into the hotel, we all went to rest.

Roy walked out of the hotel and found a carriage house based on the hotel owner's description. He hired three carriages, negotiated the price, and agreed on a time before leaving the carriage house.

He rushed to the city hall before dark, but unfortunately the clerks in the city hall had already left, and he failed to get the "Directory of Detainees in Barrier Town".

I had no choice but to return to the hotel and stay one night.

I rushed to the city hall early the next morning and finally got the directory of detainees from the clerk here. I ran to the guard team and went to the prison according to the names on the directory to bring out all the mixed-blood elves detained here.

Roy is the governor of Barrier Town, and he comes to the Partington plane every six months.

It is also one of his duties as a consul to release the mixed elves detained here from the Padstow City Guards.

After coming several times, the head of the Partington City Guards already knew Roy.

First, the directory of detainees obtained should be handed over for verification, and then a bail amount can be paid before these mixed elves can be brought out.

The Guard Prison in Padstow City is a tree hole dug out of a giant tree. The space in these tree holes is very small, and the prisoners cannot even move freely inside the prison. You can only sit or lie down inside, and these prisons are not sheltered from the rain and wind, making the environment very difficult.

Walking up the spiral staircase dug out of the giant tree, you can see a row of prisons extending upward.

These prisons are semicircular in shape, with dark iron bars on the outside. Many mixed-blood elves are locked in the prisons.

Roy followed an elf guard to the prison. The elf guard opened the door of a cell according to the number marked on the directory. The mixed elf inside was curled up on a wooden bed, sleeping facing the wall, wearing a suit Gray linen dress.

Probably hearing the sound of the cell door, the thin mixed-blood elf quickly sat up.

Roy frowned and asked him when he saw the familiar face:

"why is it you again?"

When the mixed elf saw Roy standing at the door of the cell, he also had a grimace on his face and said with some embarrassment: "I can't help it. I sent some twine over there, and it happened to be seen by the patrolling elf warrior."

"I paid double the bail for you this time. When you return to Barrier Village, you have to pay me back the full amount!" Roy raised the money bag in his hand and said with a straight face.

The mixed-blood elf nodded quickly.

Roy added: "Also, if I come here next time and see you again, I will never help you pay the bail. I will let you live here for a while and calm down. Do you understand me?"

"I understand, Lord Praetor." The mixed-blood elf quickly packed up the luggage in the prison and walked out obediently, following Roy.

Roy didn't say anything more. This mixed-blood elf hunter had connections with some villages in the southern part of the Griffin Barrier Mountains and would often get them some daily necessities.

It might have been easier before, but now the Silver Pegasus Corps investigates very strictly, and once discovered, they will be put in jail directly.

The elf guard didn't care what Roy said. He followed the list in the directory and came to the second cell and opened the cell door.

Roy saw the mixed-blood elf with messy hair like a bird's nest and asked casually:

"Tell me...why you came in?"

The mixed-blood elf scratched his bird's-nest-like hair and said to Roy innocently:

"They said that I entered the territory of the elf nobles to hunt, which constituted misappropriation of other people's property. In fact, the place where I hunted was indeed in public territory, but I didn't pay much attention to the boundaries and ran out of the public territory after chasing him."

Roy, the elf hunter, drew a note behind his name, asking him to pack his bags and come out of the cell.

The half-blood elf hunter was still muttering: "I heard that only Blackwater Swamp and Pagisto have not been occupied yet. Next time I hunt, I will try my luck in unexplored places."

Roy turned to look at him and said, "If you go to Blackwater Swamp, try to call in as many people as possible and be fully prepared!"

The third imprisoned mixed-blood elf looked very young, but his crime was fighting.

"Your crime is fighting... This is your first offender. I can bail you out. If you do this again next time, I will let you squat here..." Roy said to the third mixed elf.

Fish out all the prisoners on the directory, take these mixed elves out of the guard prison, and take them to stay in a hotel for one night.

After staying in Padstow City for a whole day, Roy headed directly to the Barrier Village with a cart full of supplies and a cart full of bailed-out mixed-blood elves.

…

After the rebels disbanded in Barrier Village, although nearly three-quarters of the rebels left Barrier Village within a few days, more than 10,000 rebels chose to stay in Barrier Village.

These mixed elves spent several months rebuilding the barrier town, including the tree house in the barrier town, the apple orchard outside the town, etc.

The current Barrier Town is a large town with more than 10,000 mixed-blood elves. Although Roy is the governor of the Barrier Town, he is not responsible for the daily management of the Barrier Town. The only thing he can do is to recruit the guards from Padstow City. Fishing for people inside.

The current barrier village is still very large, but there is no market in the village...

The two businesses, Warcraft materials and magical herbs, have almost appeared as monopolies during this period.

After the carriage entered the barrier town, the mixed elves jumped off the carriage one after another and went home.

Roy led the adventure group to the tree house that belonged to him. It was almost the highest point of Barrier Town. Standing on the tree canopy, you could overlook the entire lush Barrier Town.

Later, Roy would take the directory of detainees to the town hall to hand it over...

He will stay in Rampart Town for about three days, and then lead the adventure group to Pagisto Plateau.

As soon as I walked to the door of the town hall, I saw the elf warriors locking several mixed elves into wooden cages...
