Path of light

Chapter 438 439. Return to Padstow City

The mountain roads between the Wachak Mountains are rugged. The four iron mines originally belonged to the same vein, but this vein existed intermittently in the Wachak Mountains, so four iron mines were built in this mountain range.

The iron ore mine owned by the owner of the Jerome Mine is the shabbiest of the four iron ore mines.

In the bleak cold wind, grains of ice and snow were mixed in, blowing onto the faceplates of the mixed-blood elf warriors, and forming a thin layer of ice on their hard faceplates.

The carriage of the owner of Jerome Mine drove into the Fourth Iron Mine. He was followed by two hundred mixed elf warriors and a hundred headhunter prisoners of war. This time he came to the Fourth Iron Mine to restore the mine. Normally functioning.

The elf miners regained their freedom, resulting in a shortage of miners in the mine, so Roy took out the headhunter prisoners captured recently to replenish the number...

The owner of Jerome Mine knew very well that once he became the manager of the four iron mines, even if he boarded Roy's warship and completely broke with the headhunters in the northern part of the plateau, if those headhunters killed him again in the future, When he came back, the first batch of people he dealt with were mine owners like him.

This group of headhunter prisoners of war are all young. They were caught by the elven warriors when they fled north. Now they are chained together one by one and are mentally exhausted.

The owner of Jerome Mine brought these headhunters to the Fourth Iron Mine, and then began to arrange the work in the mine, not wanting to delay for a moment...

…

Roy led the five thousand elf warriors of the mine guard to the eastern mountainous area of ​​the Pagisto Plateau, which has the most complex terrain.

All the griffin cavalry of the griffin regiment were dispatched. They circled back and forth in the sky of the Nicobar Mountains, carefully searching for the mines and headhunter groups hidden in the mountains. Of course, not all headhunter groups would be noticed by them.

The griffin cavalry will only pay attention to the headhunter tribes around the mines.

Some of these mines were occupied by the Silver Pegasus Legion more than three months ago. However, as the Silver Pegasus Legion withdrew and the headhunters returned, they took back these mines.

After several battles, apart from the mine owners, there were only a few miners left in these mines.

The news that the mine guards were heading towards the Nicobar Mountains was soon heard by the mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains. These mine owners heard that even the Mithril Mine in the Wochak Mountains, the Abil Mine, All the farm owners were killed by this group of mixed-blood elf warriors, and they were so frightened that they fled the mine overnight with their belongings.

In order to hold back the mine guards and avoid being killed by the elf warriors of the mine guards on the way, these mine owners not only kept the mixed-blood elf miners, but also allowed them to be recruited by the mine guards in the mines.

After the mine guards entered the Nicobar Mountains, they occupied all the mines with almost no effort. However, before leaving, the mine owners destroyed almost all the mines and the furnaces in the mines were smashed into pieces. The mine owners didn't leave anything of value to Roy.

Only a group of half-blood elf miners who were about to starve to death were left behind. As for the gray dwarf miners in the mine, the mine owners also released them before leaving.

Now these gray dwarves have gone into the mountains around the mine, and many headhunters have also fled into the mountains.

The process of taking over the mines was very smooth, because these mine owners had completely destroyed the mines before leaving, so Roy did not think about getting these mines back to normal operation right away. He just transferred the mixed elf miners They took it over and abandoned the abandoned mines for the time being.

Roy brought back nearly 3,000 mixed-race elven miners from the Nicobar Mountains in the east, and temporarily settled them in three castles in the black iron mines of the Gasan Mountains.

If the mixed elves want to stay in the mine to mine, or they can pick up a travel bag and leave the Gasai Mountains, they can choose as they wish.

It took Roy nearly more than a month just to bring these three thousand mixed elf miners out of the Nicobar Mountains.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of December of 1407.

The war on the Pagisto Plateau has almost completely subsided, and the headhunters are now being suppressed by Captain Helic and struggling in the land of the ancestors of Gazan.

It is difficult to see groups of headhunters on the plateau anymore.

…

Roy temporarily lives in the castle in the Idas Mountain Black Iron Mine. Sabrina, Moira, Woods, and Miss Tiffany are also in the castle here.

As the mine guard team grows, there is no longer a need for Sabrina to train those half-blood elf warriors, and there is no need for Woods to lead the half-blood elf warriors to guard the city wall. Even Moira has not followed for a long time. The assassin team acted together.

After they followed Roy around the Nicobar Mountains, they returned to the castle in the North Black Iron Mine for a few days.

Due to being away from the sea for a long time, Miss Tiffany has developed some minor skin symptoms in the past few days. When she turned into an elf, she had some red rashes on her body. Even soaking in the bathtub did not relieve the symptoms.

Roy knew that she had been away from the sea for too long...

In the past few days, many mixed-blood elf miners have been coming in and out of Roy's office. These mixed-blood elf miners come from various mines in the Nicobar Mountains.

The reason why Roy came to them was also very simple. He wanted them to describe the appearance of the absconding mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains.

The most chaotic area at present is the Nicobar Mountains in the eastern part of the plateau. Not only are Warcraft roaming around in this mountain, there are also some headhunters and gray dwarf bandits lurking in it. Several other mines are also abandoned. Roy wants to let It may take a lot of time, manpower and material resources to restart these mines.

The reason is that these mine owners create trouble. They flee the mine when they hear the news, turning the mine into a mess.

And these mine owners sneaked away with a fortune.

In the past few days, Roy has been thinking about where they will go...

In fact, the answer is simple: whether they want to stay in the Partington plane or sneak back to the Elf Continent, they have to go to Padstow City.

So Roy has been busy in the past two days to deal with various things on the Padstow Plateau, and then he will take the portraits of these mine owners and return to Padstow City to stop them...

…

The fire in the room was strong, and the bathtub turned into a large bath. Even the water in the bath was warm. In order to cater to Miss Tiffany, Roy even sprinkled some salt in the bath.

At this time, Miss Tiffany was still lying in the bathtub sickly, and the huge three-color fish tail had lost its former luster.

Others were gathered at the edge of the bath, discussing their return date.

It has been more than half a year since everyone left Castletown, and they must go back this time no matter what.

A gust of cold wind blew in, blowing the flames in the brazier at the door loudly.

Woods looked at Roy with wide eyes and asked in surprise:

"You mean you're going to Padstow City?"

Roy nodded and said: "Yes, I guess the mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains in the eastern part of the plateau should have secretly fled back to Padstow City at this time. I plan to capture them all this time. "

Then Roy's voice changed and he said:

"You guys will also follow me back to Padstow City. This semester is about to end, and the January vacation is coming. You have to return to Castletown to complete your studies and wait for the start of school."

Woods hesitated for a moment, and seeing that both Sabrina and Moira refused to speak, he asked:

"But what about here on the Pagisto Plateau?"

Roy spread his hands and said calmly:

"Currently, the mine guards have controlled most of the Pagisto Plateau. Captain Herrick helped me suppress the headhunters in the land of the ancestors of Gazan. In the next period of time, except for the land of the ancestors of Gazan, , the entire Pagisto Plateau needs to recuperate, and there won’t be any war.”

Seeing that Woods wanted to refute, he quickly said:

"To run these mines, I would ask some professional managers to do it."

He patted Woods on the shoulder and said:

"Help me take care of the Black Pearl. If that tree wants to survive, it needs your careful care."

Woods nodded, knowing that Roy was talking about the main mast on the Black Pearl.

Woods took great pains to revive it, and now it needs Woods to take care of it.

Roy looked at Sabrina again and said:

"Sabrina, you also need to help me run the trading house in Castletown City. For a long time to come, there will probably be a large amount of magic herbs, magic metal ingots, magic gems, and Warcraft materials. The land is transported from the Partington plane, I need you to help me keep an eye on these materials, and also help me exchange them for various materials needed by the Partington plane, and then I want to transport them back."

"If you can't handle things, you can leave it to Claire. I want to turn these resources into real wealth and use them to build the Partington plane. This place will become the home of the mixed elves. I hope you can help me do this together." thing."

"No problem, I promise you." Sabrina said simply.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Miss Tiffany.

Miss Tiffany popped her head out of the pool, put her hands on the edge of the bath, pointed at Moira and said to Roy:

"Don't look at me like that. The person you need to convince is over there."

Roy turned to look at Moira and comforted her:

"The battle here is coming to an end. You can't learn anything new if you stay here. Besides, this semester is already over. You guys will set off from the plateau at this time and return to Castletown City, just in time to catch up with the elves. The new semester of the academy has started, and you still need to go to the Elf Academy."

Moira raised her head, her big eyes flashing with reluctance, and she pouted and muttered:

"I want to stay with you."

Roy quickly touched her head, which made Moira's face blush slightly, and even her neck was dyed a light pink.

Roy said: "While I am young, I need to learn more new knowledge. After I have dealt with the matters on the Partington plane, I will return to Castletown City. I have never thought about living in Pajis all the time." On the plateau. Then, we can go to school together every day..."

Moira only felt that Roy was right, so she agreed in a daze.

Before leaving, Roy made some arrangements for the mine, and then took the Griffin from the North Black Iron Mine to Padstow City.

This time, in addition to Kaka and Little Eugene, another griffin cavalry also came to help.

Currently, the number of gryphon cavalry coming from Sun Island Bay has increased to 273.

In fact, not only the gryphon regiment continues to grow, but the assassin team has also expanded to 500 people, and the mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard have expanded to 8,000 people.

Roy needs to manage fourteen mines, as well as three mines in the Kaltim Mountains and four mines in the Nicobar Mountains that are closed. The total number of miners in these mines is nearly 10,000. people.

At present, almost all the magic crystals collected from various mines have been used up, and the batch of gems Claire took away has been spent in Castletown.

Roy needs to bring another batch of magic metal to Padstow City in exchange for a sum of magic crystals to keep these mines running.

Establishing a magic metal sales channel in Padstow City is something that Lysander cannot do. Roy needs to personally come forward...

It only takes three days for the griffins to fly from the North Black Iron Mine of Edas Mountain to Padstow City.

However, Roy did not let Kaka and the gryphon cavalry get too close to Padstow City. Seeing the blurry shadow of Padstow City from a distance, Roy asked Kaka and Little Eugene to let his group go. Come down.

It's not too far from Padstow City, and Roy and the others need to find a way to walk the rest of the way.

Kaka will wait for Roy in Barrier Town, and the rest of the Griffin Cavalry will follow little Eugene back to the Pagisto Plateau immediately.

Roy said goodbye to Kaka, and then led the team towards the square of Padstow City.

Coming down from the Padisto Plateau, the climate suddenly changed dramatically. Padstow City was like spring all year round, surrounded by patches of dense jungle, and the air here became very humid.

I don't know if it was due to mood or climate. Miss Tiffany's symptoms improved when the Roy team arrived in the outer suburbs of Padstow City.

In the jungle, we can already see apple orchards managed by mixed-blood elves.

The mixed-blood elves here are also very hospitable. When they saw Roy's team passing by the orchard, they took the initiative to invite them to eat apples.

In addition to eating fresh apples, Roy's team also boarded an apple carriage and slowly headed for Padstow City along the forest path.

The mixed-blood elf coachman was also very talkative. Hearing that Roy and the others were an adventuring group, he asked them if they had returned from the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy specifically said they were coming back from the Blackwater Swamp.

The coachman then chattered:

"You should actually go to Pagisto Plateau to take a look. I heard that there are many mixed elves living there, and the mixed elves there are currently fighting with the plateau natives. I heard that someone led a group of mixed elves. The soldiers saved many slaves..."
