Path of light

Chapter 317 318. Business documents

Roy returned to the Black Pearl and found a hundred bundles of magic herbs. Each bundle was almost as thick as an oak barrel. The magic herbs inside were pressed very tightly. They almost filled the bilge of the ship.

Magic herbs worth a thousand magic crystals were piled in the bottom cabin, which looked quite spectacular.

Miss Tiffany was wearing a towel and a refreshing bathing suit. She was wet and barefoot as she passed through the corridor.

Seaweed-colored curly hair was constantly dripping with sea water, and she was holding a bunch of colorful sea fish in her hand.

Seeing Roy standing at the door of the bilge, Miss Tiffany wiped the seawater on her face with a towel, held on to the door frame, shook her head at Roy with the sea fish in her hand, and said:

"I'm going to make a fire on the deck first, and remember to grill the fish on the deck later."

"I know, remember to prepare some oysters and mussels." Roy waved his hand to show that he understood.

"Didn't you go to the magic potion store in the city? Did you sell these magic herbs?" Miss Tiffany didn't rush up and asked Roy, leaning against the door frame.

Mermaids' waists are notoriously slender.

The hips have become a bit wider again, and there are clear vest lines on both sides of the abdomen...

"...No!" Roy withdrew his gaze and replied.

Just when Miss Tiffany frowned, Roy said again:

"Because I found that almost all the magic herbs in these magic apothecaries have been sold out. I heard that the business group on the big ship on the dock is constantly eating up the goods, so I also plan to sell these magic herbs to this business group. I am going to I’ll go to the pier later to inquire about the news.”

Miss Tiffany asked: "Can I help you with anything?"

"There is one thing, but it may be a bit troublesome!" Roy chuckled.

"Go ahead, as long as it's something I can do," Miss Tiffany said generously, looking in a good mood.

"...Then I'll say it!" Roy said.

In those magic potion shops, almost all magic herbs are placed in categories, but the bundles of magic herbs that Roy brought back were mixed and tied very firmly. Among these bundles of magic herbs, there are There are cheap silver-leaf grass, slightly more expensive concentrating grass, kudzu which can be seen everywhere in the jungle, and slightly rarer swift grass. Occasionally, you can also see the more precious devil grass, heather and golden thorn. Grass, the value of these individual plants can be exchanged for a piece of magic crystal.

The most important thing for Roy now is to put these magic herbs into wooden boxes separately. Even the cheapest silver leaf grass and kudzu must be put into wooden boxes separately.

Roy inquired about the price of silver-leaf grass in the magic pharmacy. The whole bundle of magic herbs was the least valuable silver-leaf grass. This bundle of magic herbs could be sold for at least twenty-two magic crystals.

If some valuable magic herbs are screened out, the profit will only be higher.

This was probably also the profit point of the business groups in the Partington plane.

In addition, what Roy got was only the purchase price of the Magic Potion Store. Roy believed that if the Magic Potion Store could sell out all the herbs in the store, the purchase price of the merchant ship in Castletown Port would definitely be higher. It's much more expensive than the price Roy got.

"I would like to ask you to help classify and store these magic herbs!" Roy said a little embarrassed.

"No problem, this is easy for me. I have learned how to identify these magic herbs." Miss Tiffany readily agreed.

Everyone had grilled fish on the deck of the Black Pearl, and even Woods, who had been busy all day at the magic potion shop, screened these magic herbs together...

Roy untied a bundle of magic herbs. The tightly pressed magic herbs were scattered on the deck and turned into a big pile.

Miss Tiffany exclaimed:

"Why did it become such a big pile all of a sudden!"

I heard that everyone was screening magic herbs on the Black Pearl, and Sabrina and Moira also came to help. According to Ms. Gillian, even if the trip is over, she can't calm down because her heart has been completely set free. .

The magic herbs were unpacked and sorted, then repacked into wooden boxes and piled in the cargo hold of the Black Pearl.

Thinking that everyone had worked so hard to transport these back from the Pajisto Plateau, everyone's emotions were very high.

…

Under the soft light, Earl Swinburne's face glowed with a pale golden sheen.

He sat back in his chair.

Three maps hang on the opposite wall.

Originally there were only two plane maps hung on the wall in this study, but now the map of the Padstow area of ​​the Partington plane is also hung on this wall of honor.

This also means that the Seventeenth Legion can obtain continuous blood transfusion from three dimensions, and the Silver Pegasus Legion can expand by two more regiments.

There is a letter on the table.

This is a report letter sent from the Partington plane. It writes about the daily work in Padstow City.

Earl Swinburne had no interest in this. His eyes quickly passed over these boring words. When he saw a line of words, his eyes suddenly stopped.

He put down the quill in his hand, pinched the corners of his sour eyes, and looked at Adjutant Anji standing at the door.

"Angie, what do you think about Roy using the teleportation pass to traffic in magic herbs from the Partington plane?" Earl Swinburne asked.

The fact that this report letter can be placed on his desk illustrates some problems.

"As the governor of Barrier Town, Roy has really lived up to your expectations of him." Adjutant Anji responded immediately.

He placed this report letter on Earl Swinburne's desk, actually intending to let the earl know the news.

In fact, for Earl Swinburne, this is just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

But Roy's behavior seriously affected the interests of the officers of the Seventeenth Legion, because the current trade in the Partington plane is in the hands of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, and every year the officers in the Legion can get a share of A pen of money from the Partington plane.

Now someone has touched this piece of cake. After Adjutant Anji got this report letter, three senior corps officials had already vaguely reminded him that the Earl must not accidentally see this letter.

Earl Swinburne smiled, threw the quill in his hand into the ink bottle, turned around and stood up, walked to the bookcase, rummaged through the documents while saying: "What if this child has such a convenient condition?" If you don’t know how to take advantage of it, that’s really disappointing.”

Adjutant Anji was slightly startled.

Earl Swinburne continued: "I asked him to serve as the governor of Barrier Town, not just to ease the conflict between the Silver Moon Elves and the mixed-blood elves. If that was the case, I would choose any mixed-blood elf to be the governor of Barrier Town. Isn't it better? Now it seems... he still has some brains, at least he dares to try, which is not bad!"

Adjutant Angie knew that Earl Swinburne rarely praised others.

"Come here!" cried Lord Swinburne to the door.

The wooden door of the study was opened from the outside by an elf guard.

"Go and call Miss Christine." Earl Swinburne ordered the elf guard.

"yes!"

…

A series of footsteps sounded in the corridor...

The echo of footsteps fell in Miss Christine's ears. It should have been a clear and sweet sound, but now it made her somewhat irritable.

The wooden door at the end of the corridor made her feel a little nervous. Christine had already heard about Roy from her cousin. He was such a worried guy!

In fact, Miss Christine hopes that Roy can stay in the Elf Academy Adventure Group.

Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to follow Instructor Nora on a plane journey?

After he became the nominal consul of Barrier Town, this position actually became a fetter for him, allowing him to go to Barrier Town twice a year to handle some official business.

Now I don’t know how it happened, but it touched the interests of the officers of the Seventeenth Legion...

tuk tuk tuk

Knocking lightly on the wooden door with her fingers, Miss Christine stood outside the door with some anxiety.

"Come in."

Lord Swinburne's voice came from the room.

Miss Christine pushed the door open a crack, stuck her head in and asked softly:

"Father, did you call me?"

Earl Swinburne waved his hand to Miss Christine, motioning for her to come in and sit on the chair opposite the desk.

"You followed the adventure group to the Rocky Mountain plane this time. Did you gain anything?" Earl Swinburne asked.

The reason why he likes his youngest daughter Christine is simple. He can see the shadow of his youth in Christine.

Miss Christine blinked and said slyly:

"Are you referring to the monsters our adventure group hunted in the Rocky Mountain plane? Or the scenery we saw along the way?"

Obviously, Earl Swinburne heard it, and Miss Christine was unwilling to share this adventure.

"Haha, it seems that my Christine has grown up." Earl Swinburne said with a laugh.

I remember that in the past two years, Miss Christine would occasionally cry in front of Earl Swinburne, but now she actually hid some little secrets from his old father.

Earl Swinburne handed a piece of paper to Miss Christine and said casually:

"If you have time, please bring this to Roy, the kid."

Miss Christine took it and unfolded the paper. It turned out to be a business certificate signed by Earl Swinburne.

"What are you...?"

Miss Christine hid the surprise on her face with a look of surprise.

Earl Swinburne rubbed his sore wrist and said: "He is the governor of Barrier Town. If he really wants to take charge of Barrier Town, this certificate will save him a lot of trouble."

Miss Christine seemed to sense the temptation in Earl Swinburne's eyes, and quickly pushed the parchment scroll back dismissively, and said lightly:

"You can just arrange for someone to give it to him. Why did you call me?"

Earl Swinburne didn't care. He held the scroll with two fingers and said, "I just thought maybe you would be interested in doing this, since..."

"Since you ask so, I'll go there."

Miss Christine interrupted Earl Swinburne, snatched the business certificate from his hand, and said:

"If you have nothing else to do, I'm going to entertain Miss Edith..."

He turned around and ran quickly out of Earl Swinburne's study.
