Path of light

Chapter 450 451. Compromise

Roy took Lambo along a quiet stone road and walked into a tavern. The tavern was very lively. Many mixed elves were talking about the glorious deeds of Captain Helix. After all, he stood in front of the central square with a sword. Kill two mine owners.

For a time, Captain Helix became a famous figure in resisting the elven slave trade.

When the bartender saw Roy walking in with a mixed-blood elf, he immediately pushed Roy a glass of orange wine, then smiled at Lambeau and asked him: "Guest, what do you want to drink?"

Roy took Lambo to sit at the bar and said to the bartender:

"Give him a glass of orange wine. No word from Dennis yet?"

The bartender quickly poured a glass of orange wine and responded with a smile:

"The transportation over Blackwater Swamp is inconvenient, and there are very few adventure groups in the city, so there has been no news about Dennis recently."

He added silently in his heart: 'I can't possibly tell you. ’ Then he turned around and walked to the wine cabinet to wipe the wine glasses.

It was not Rambo's first time in Padstow City, but it was his first time in a tavern. He was a little uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol in the tavern. He looked around like a bumpkin, curious about everything. Especially the large row of oak barrels behind the bar.

"This time you are going to live in Padstow for a while. You have to learn to adapt to the life in the city. In addition to gathering and drinking, this pub is also the most well-informed place. You can come here if you want to inquire about any news. Here, some information is free and some information costs money.”

Roy took a sip of wine and whispered to Rambo.

At this time, Rambo was staring at the chest of a mixed-blood elf woman with wheat-colored skin. The golden curly hair on her chest made her eyes go straight, and she didn't know how much he listened to what Roy said.

It’s not that there are no beautiful mixed-blood elf women on the Pagisto Plateau, but they don’t wear a low-cut long skirt and dare to spin around on the wine table...

Roy asked the bartender who was standing nearby cleaning glasses:

"Is there any magic herbal medicine merchant in Padstow City? I'm currently in the business of low-level magic herbs and want to find some stable supply."

The bartender threw the cup in his hand into the sink, took the initiative to approach Roy, and introduced him enthusiastically:

"Boss Roy, you are asking the right person about this matter. Look at the elf over there who is drinking alone. His name is Augustus, and he is a very famous herbal medicine merchant in Padstow City. It's just that in recent years, the portal in the Partington plane has been banned, making it increasingly difficult to do business in various industries, and his magic herbal medicine business has also closed down. But when it comes to understanding the magic herbs in the Partington plane, I would recommend Augustus to you..."

Roy turned his head in the direction of the bartender's finger, and happened to see the mixed-race elf called Augustus by the bartender. He had silver-gray hair, and it could be seen that he had a little bit of the blood of the Silver Moon Elf, and he was holding a He was drinking from a silver wine glass on a small table in the corner.

There was actually a bottle of rum on the table. Elves didn't like this kind of liquor very much. It was usually used in bars to add some flavor to orange wine.

Although he was a little drunk, he still maintained a gentlemanly manner.

Roy handed the bartender five kolers as a reward for the news.

Unexpectedly, this pile of Kohler was pushed back by the bartender. The bartender said with a smile: "This news is free. In fact, this matter cannot be considered a secret in the pub. You can find out by just asking any elf. I will call him for you." Come……"

"Augustus, come sit here for a while and have a drink!" The bartender raised the glass in his hand and shouted to Augustus sitting in the corner.

Augustus heard the bartender's shout, raised his head, looked at Roy with his light blue eyes, held the wine glass, picked up the unfinished bottle of rum and walked over.

Other drinkers were still joking: "Augustas, it seems like there's business coming."

Augusta came over, and the bartender patted the shoulder of the mixed elf drinker sitting next to Roy, and the guy immediately gave up his seat.

"Boss Roy, the mine owner of Pagisto Plateau!"

"Padesto City Magic Herb Merchant - Augustus, Boss Roy wants to talk to you about the magic herb business, you guys want to talk first."

The bartender gave a brief introduction and left.

Roy stretched out his hand and shook Augustus's hand. Augustus looked at Roy seriously and said with a look of disbelief:

"With all due respect, are you the boss Roy from Pagisto Plateau?"

Roy nodded slightly, and then said bluntly:

"I rented some warehouses in Padstow City. I am currently planning to purchase some low-level magic herbs in Padstow City and then transport them to the Elf Continent to sell them. Do you have any way to get low-level magic herbs? Oh. Mr. Gustas."

"Magic herbs can be found everywhere in the Partington plane, but if you want to transport them back to the Elven Continent, you must have a trading license!" Augustus said implicitly.

"Of course, this trading license only allows me to trade primary magic herbs." Roy patted the magic pocket on his waist.

Augustus's eyes lit up and he said to Roy: "On the Partington plane, only the trading of primary magic herbs can lead to bulk transactions."

"So..." Roy smiled and looked at Augustus.

Augustus stretched out his hand and said excitedly to Roy: "I wish us a happy cooperation. I will give you a quotation immediately. Now the entire Partington plane is under ban, so these primary magic herbs The price is also at least 40% lower than before..."

"Just give me a quotation as soon as possible. This is Lambo, currently the person in charge of the Padstow City warehouse. In the future, communication will probably be between you."

Roy put one hand on Lambeau's shoulder, diverting his attention.

"Roy, are the elementary magic herbs on the plateau not enough for your needs?" Lambo asked Roy strangely.

"Of course it's not enough. With these material transfer warehouses, we must expand our business. Cheers to our happy cooperation in the future!"

Roy raised the orange-yellow orange wine in his hand.

Rambo was a little confused and couldn't figure out how much business Roy wanted to do, but Roy and Augustus had already raised their glasses, so he also raised their glasses...

…

This time, Lysander and Rambo, father and son, arrived at Padstow City with a pack team consisting of a thousand argali sheep. Not only did they bring a large amount of black iron ingots, they also brought Roy the latest battle situation in the northern part of the plateau.

Five thousand mixed-blood elf warriors led by Captain Helic of the rebel army have broken through the gate of the Ancestral Land of Gazan. Nearly 20,000 headhunter tribesmen are blocked in the Ancestral Land, and other places on the Pajisto Plateau are blocked. Headhunters rushed to the ancestral land for reinforcements.

This time Lysander came to Padstow City and brought a list of supplies from Captain Helic.

However, this time Roy set up a trap to assassinate six mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains, which made him extremely unhappy with the logistics chief Lucius. Roy felt that if he submitted a material application now, he would probably be The logistics department is pressing down...

After thinking about it, Roy decided to write another letter to Claire and ask him to purchase some supplies from Castletown City.

When Roy was writing a letter, Rambo rushed in from the outside without even knocking on the door, and said excitedly to Roy: "The supplies from Castletown have arrived, Roy, you calculated the time just right. , the supplies from our plateau have just been delivered, and the supplies from Castletown City are also arriving one after another. Let’s exchange the supplies from both sides, so no one needs to wait!”

"???"

Roy looked confused. He didn't have the ability to calculate time. It was just a coincidence this time.

He rented this warehouse for the purpose of transferring supplies.

"Is Claire here?" Roy put down the quill in his hand and asked Rambo.

At this time, a figure had flashed out from behind Lambeau, it was Claire wearing an aristocratic dress.

This guy is already very handsome, and when he puts on an elf noble dress, he looks even more otherworldly...

But Claire was still the same as before. She put her arm around Roy's shoulders and said with a proud look: "Knowing that everything on the Pagisto Plateau needs to be rebuilt, I just wanted to send a batch of supplies over before the start of school. Why?" Like? Are you a little surprised to see me? "

"Claire, didn't you say you were going to hold a winter concert before school starts? I thought you had been busy with the concert." Roy moved Claire's arm away and asked, this guy's body was full of perfume.

Claire sat down in Roy's seat and smiled proudly: "Hey, this winter concert was very successful. Almost all of our Eagle Songs have reached Buenos..."

Roy was not prepared to listen to what he said about the concert, so he quickly interrupted him and asked: "So... what did you bring this time?"

Claire didn’t show off and gave the answer directly:

"The magic furnace, the furnace designed and built by the dwarves, is strong and durable.

These things have been stored in Castletown's warehouse for who knows how long.

If I hadn't helped you find these magic forges, I wouldn't have known there were mines in the jungles of Malaga a long time ago!

There is also some tree of life sap, which I have recently sold out on the black market in Castletown. This batch of tree of life sap was purchased from the city of Barreras...

Roy, your letter asked me to go to the Magic Guild to inquire about the magic pharmacist. Are you ready to refine the magic potion? "

"Well, that's the plan."

Roy nodded. He had no intention of hiding this from Claire, and the alchemy laboratory needed to be built in Castletown. He planned to directly refine some primary magic herbs into magic potions, as long as they were primary healing potions, Lion King Potions and mental potions are the three best-selling ones.

"Originally, I wrote to you and asked you to get some arrow clusters and armor pieces from Castletown, but it seems like it's too late."

Roy pointed to the letter paper on the desk, which had Claire's name written at the beginning.

When Claire heard Roy say that he wanted to purchase 'arrow clusters and armor pieces' from Castletown, he reminded him:

"Arrow clusters and armor pieces...these military supplies are of course of better quality from the Silver Pegasus Legion."

"I've been having some trouble with Director Lucius of the Logistics Department recently. I guess... it's not easy to apply!"

Roy said euphemistically, he did not say that he openly killed six mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains in Padstow City, and therefore blocked Chief Lucius's financial path.

"I don't like that old guy very much either!"

Claire also murmured, thinking that he also spent a not-so-pleasant time in Padstow City.

"What now?" Claire asked.

"I can only bite the bullet and go to the military headquarters to have a look. At most I will be rejected, but he can't do anything to me!" Roy said casually, scratching his head in distress.

There were many carriages parked outside the warehouse, and a group of mixed-race elf workers were carrying some wooden boxes into the warehouse.

Some of the carriages also contained huge cauldrons, which looked extremely bulky. If he wanted to transport these things to the Pagisto Plateau, it was estimated that Lysander might not be able to sleep at night.

…

In order to apply for a batch of military supplies, Roy made a special trip to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters on horseback.

A large amount of military supplies were piled in the backyard of the military headquarters. Many wooden boxes were piled outside the warehouse, as high as a hill.

Roy had not received any supply list from the military in the past two days. He thought it must have been suppressed by Commander Lucius. Otherwise... the Pagisto Plateau is in urgent need of various military supplies, and the military is It was piled up like a mountain, how could he not send someone to notify him?

Roy just stood in the hall, glanced at the backyard for a few times, and then walked to the reception desk. He needed to submit an application to the Quartermaster.

Before he could express his intention, a quartermaster came out of the stairs holding a stack of reports. Seeing Roy at the reception desk, he said with some surprise:

"Owner Roy, I didn't expect you to be here. The military department has sent a notice and it is about to be delivered to you."

With that said, the quartermaster handed Roy a list of supplies and said to him:

"This is the material distribution list drawn up by the military department. If there are no objections, they will be distributed according to this quantity. If you have any objections, you can apply for exchange with the military department."

Roy came to the military headquarters to apply for military supplies. Unexpectedly, the quartermaster took the initiative to hand a list to him as soon as he entered.

This gave Roy some unexpected surprise...

After taking the list, there was indeed a whole box of fine steel arrowheads and armor pieces, as well as some elven long swords and standard forest bows. These supplies were added, just enough to update the equipment of the mine guards, but these fine steel arrows And the armor pieces must still be provided to Captain Helic's half-blood elf army.

"It must be hard for you to imagine how difficult the conditions on the plateau are. With these military supplies, we can recruit more mixed elves to resist the headhunters on the plateau. It's great!" Roy held the parchment list and stood In the hall on the first floor, I had a casual conversation with the quartermaster.

"Can you give us some more fine steel arrowheads? Our mixed-blood elf warriors are all newly recruited and lack combat experience. I want to train them more..." Roy said with a smile to the quartermaster.

"I have permission to add two more boxes. If it's not enough, you can submit a material application to the above. As long as you can explain the actual situation, it will be approved." The quartermaster said to Roy.

Roy nodded his thanks repeatedly.
