Path of light

Chapter 322 323. Chamber of Commerce

The song "Claire's Summer" once again ignited the entire Elf Academy.

The rhythm of Claire's song is simple and lively, fresh and natural, smart and lively. Claire has made a splash in the college with a new style, and has become a leader among the influential figures in the college.

In the academy, there are many young elves who are surrounded by Claire, and they call Claire His Highness Wagner.

It was precisely because of Claire's outstanding performance that she successfully held a concert in the college.

The invited audience for this concert was only the students of Elf Academy. Even so, the entire academy's large playground was packed with onlookers.

In the past few years, Claire has produced two new works almost every year. No one of them is outstanding, and the style is varied, always refreshing the audience...

Just when Claire was playing at the college dance again, Roy had already boarded the supply ship anchored in Castletown Port and headed again to Padstow City in the Partington plane.

…

After Roy received Lysander's letter, he waited until the weekend and asked his mentors for a day off. Then on Saturday night, he boarded a military supply ship and rushed to Partington Island.

After arriving at Partington Island, Roy didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly passed through the portal and found a carriage in Padstow City. He took the carriage and arrived at the place agreed upon by Lysander in the letter.

This is a suburb of Padstow, opposite an apple orchard and on the other side a dense jungle.

Lysander has been waiting here for nearly half a month. He usually builds a simple tent on the edge of the jungle, and the argali carrying goods are hidden in the jungle behind.

He didn't have the kind of business credentials that Roy had in his hand. He was worried that the elf warriors in the military would seize his magic herbs and never dared to transport them to Padstow City.

When he saw Roy jumping out of the carriage of a carriage, Lysander jumped up from the tree stump at the entrance of the tent and walked quickly towards Roy.

Lysander said to Roy with some joy: "Finally I've been waiting for you. I've been living in fear almost every day these days, for fear that those elven warriors will rush into the jungle and confiscate our argali caravan."

Roy also happily patted Lysander on the shoulder and said to him: "I rushed here as soon as I received your letter."

"I can estimate the time next time. I will send someone to Padstow City a few days in advance to send you a letter. When you arrive at Padstow City, our caravan will arrive just in time. That will It's easier to avoid risks." Lysander said with excitement.

"Even if a military patrol intercepts you, remember not to run away or resist. Keep an eye on your goods and let them take you back to Padstow City. If you can write to me, please do it first. Write to me when it's time. If you can't write to me, then you can wait for me in Padstow City. I will come to Padstow City every few months. I have a way to remove you from the military. Get you out of jail."

Roy said to Lysander.

Lysander quickly wrote it down, then picked up a bamboo whistle and blew it hard.

The sound of "Goo-Goo-Goo" is like the cry of an owl in the forest.

Not long after, he saw the branches and leaves swaying in the jungle. Rambo led an argali out of the woods first, followed by a group of argali carrying a large amount of magic herbs, and finally followed by Lysander's nephew Rigard. .

Rambo seemed very happy when he saw Roy.

All the magic herbs were quickly unloaded, and there were another hundred bundles, and there were still all kinds of magic herbs mixed together.

Roy checked the bundles of magic herbs, pointed to the golden thorn grass inside and said to Lysander: "I wanted to say last time that magic herbs such as golden thorn grass and royal blood grass can no longer be regarded as primary magic. Herbal medicines fall into the category of herbs, and they are more valuable. When you bundle magic herbs in the future, try to pick out these mid-level herbs and put them separately, so that they can be sold at a higher price."

Lysander chuckled and said: "Those herbal medicine dealers have always made purchases like this when they entered the plateau. Everyone is used to doing this..."

Since Lysander said this, Roy didn't say anything more.

After checking the magic herbs, Roy took out the purchased shields, animal traps and fifty boxes of elf biscuits one by one. In addition, there were six precious magic weapons and two Paglio war spears flowing with magic light. There are three magic secret swords engraved with runes on the sword, and one has a storm bow with wind control magic.

Roy spent nearly 300 magic crystals on these three magic weapons alone.

Lysander seemed overjoyed to see these magic weapons, and he hoped that Roy could bring more of these magic weapons.

The total value of the supplies Roy brought over was about one thousand magic crystals, which just covered the payment for the magic herbal medicine.

After successfully completing the transaction, everyone sat in front of the simple tent together.

When Roy talked about the battle of the rebels on the Pagisto Plateau, Lysander introduced the battle situation on the plateau to everyone with a frown.

On the Pagisto Plateau, the group of elven headhunters are all brave cavalry who are good at fighting. They are good at using wolf pack tactics. If they can beat them, they will chase them to death. If they can't beat them, they will turn around and run away on argali. It's running around like a monster, flexible and maneuverable, and very difficult to deal with.

In addition, the headhunter has the support of many mine owners.

The rebels and the headhunters fought several battles, but each time the rebels suffered heavy losses.

In fact, Roy had expected this a long time ago, and he wasn't too surprised when he heard what Lysander said.

Seeing the bitterness on Lysander's face, Roy knew that he should say some words of comfort at this time. He thought about it carefully and then said to Lysander:

"Since the war has begun, we must continue the fight."

Recently, he has also been reflecting on why there are so many mixed elves living in the Pagisto Plateau, but no one knows about it?

After repeated discussions with Claire, he discovered that the elven nobles in Padstow City were actually not unaware of the existence of the group of mixed-blood elves on the Padstow Plateau. They just wanted to sell the elven slaves to the plateau, so Only then did they deliberately hide some news about Pajisto Plateau.

Roy continued to Lysander:

“In the past, before the Silver Moon Elf military was stationed in the Partington plane, Padstow City was actually in the hands of the Elf nobles headed by Lord Alves.

At the same time, they are the largest slave traders in the Partington plane.

In addition to selling elven slaves to slave ships at sea, they also sell them to mine owners on the Pagisto Plateau.

Because of this, they will not tell the secrets of Pagisto Plateau, but it is the elven military that controls the Partington plane now.

Fire can't be contained in paper. I guess it won't be long before the Silver Moon Elf military will know about the war on the Pagisto Plateau.

When the time comes, whichever side the military is on will be destined to win, so you'd better make plans in advance. "

"I can't make a decision on this matter. I have to go back and discuss it with everyone."

Lysander looked a little flustered and said worriedly.

Before that, he obviously didn't realize that things would be so bad. If those plateau headhunters got in touch with the military, the resistance might no longer be able to resist.

Roy then said to Lysander:

"Anyway, you have to give me the news as soon as possible. If you can't stay on the Pagisto Plateau, you can move to the forest north of the Griffin Barrier Mountains. I believe those plateau headhunters don't dare to run down from the plateau yet. "

Lysander could only nod his head and agree.

After the transaction was completed, Roy quickly returned to Padstow City and left the Partington plane through the portal in the square.

…

It was already Monday afternoon when Roy returned to Castletown with this batch of magic grasslands.

After disembarking, Roy asked Woods and Miss Tiffany to return to the Black Pearl, while he, Sabrina, and Moira returned to their home on Brown Street.

Teachers at Elf Academy punish students for missing class very severely. Although they have asked for leave in advance, everyone is still busy making up for missed classes, and they also have to submit neatly transcribed class notes.

Roy spends most of his time in the library these days.

When he was studying the geography of the Endless Sea, he discovered that the charts left by Abt actually covered the archipelago in all areas of the Endless Sea. Some nameless islands and islands hidden under the sea were not even recorded in textbooks. .

Now he is in the library, mainly looking up information in this area to verify Abbot's inferences about the many islands in the Endless Sea.

Every afternoon is the busiest time of the Castletown Library. Elves always go to the library in small groups to borrow books. Some elves hold books and sit at the desk to read, while some elves simply lean on the bookshelves. , read quickly.

Roy was flipping through a geography book, sitting on a bench, and carefully comparing an archipelago drawn by Abbot.

He was certain that Abbot must have read this book when he was drawing this archipelago. The names of the books were even clearly written in brackets under the names of the islands above.

It must be said that Abt drew the many islands of the Endless Sea in great detail.

As long as these charts are spliced ​​together, it is estimated that an extremely detailed chart of the entire Endless Sea can be obtained.

Two girls, Miss Tiffany and Moira, sat quietly opposite Roy.

Miss Tiffany is holding a water magic book. Every time her fingers draw complicated symbols in the air, a magical halo of the water element will flash through. This is an overload with a high affinity for the water element. Performance.

Miss Tiffany always maintains a cold appearance, but the more she looks like this, the more elves come over to talk to Miss Tiffany.

Every time he saw the helpless expressions of the elves who were turned away, Roy felt sad for them.

Moira was in the library, usually making up for the day's course notes. Every time he saw her biting her quill and frowning, Roy would stop for a while.

Roy put a geography book back on the bookshelf and saw Claire appearing at the door of the library, looking around inside.

From time to time, Silver Moon elves came up to greet him, and Claire could only force a smile to respond to them.

It wasn't until Claire saw Roy leaning out from a row of bookshelves that she held up the elf classical music sheet, casually dismissed the elves around her, walked quickly to Roy, chased after him and asked:

"Roy, why didn't I see you this weekend?"

Miss Tiffany and Moira both raised their heads and looked at Claire.

Roy responded in a low voice: "I took the time to go to the Partington plane, and this time I brought back some magic herbs."

"Ah? Roy, are you really planning to start a magic herbal business?" Claire stared at Roy in disbelief and said.

Roy nodded and responded: "Of course, I have opened up this trade route. In the future, I will regularly transport some magic herbs from the Partington plane."

Claire lowered her voice: "I heard that several magic herbal suppliers are eyeing you. Anyway, you should be careful recently."

"If you want to do magic herbal business, it's best to join the Magic Herbal Chamber of Commerce in Castletown City. That way it will be easier to do things, and the business can also be supported by the Magic Herbal Chamber of Commerce..." Claire suggested to Roy. .

"Is there a Magic Herbal Merchant's Guild in Castleton?" Roy asked with some confusion.

"Yes! And I heard from my friends that the president of the Chamber of Commerce is a big herbalist." Claire introduced to Roy patiently.

"Okay, I will try to join the Chamber of Commerce." Roy responded.

He plans to sell goods in various magic potions stores in Castleton next week.

Before that, it might not be a bad idea to join the Magic Herbal Merchant Guild...

…

Roy came out of the Magic Herbs Store. This time he successfully sold three bundles of magic herbs. Recently, the magic herbs in Castletown have been saturated, and the magic apothecary shop does not have a high demand for magic herbs. .

Especially in the rainy season, magic herbs will become worthless once they become rotten, so Roy really wants to sell these magic herbs.

I've been busy with this in the past few days.

After walking out of the magic potion shop, Roy found that the elf across the street had lowered the hood on his head and was sitting on a round table on the side of the street.

When he saw Roy walking out of the potion store, the elf turned around and turned his back to Roy...

Roy stood on the street for a long time, and finally waited for a long carriage.

After boarding the carriage, Roy sat in a seat by the window. As the carriage drove slowly, Roy turned his head out the window and happened to see the hooded elf again. He quickly left the round table and jumped on A carriage.

That carriage always followed Roy's long carriage...

Roy followed him to the intersection of Brown Street before he walked out of the carriage.

As soon as he stepped on the stone road, an arrow came quietly. Roy didn't even have time to react. He could only dodge sideways, but it was too late, and the arrow shot out. It was inserted into the book of judgment in his arms.
