Path of light

Chapter 495 496. Thoughts

Kaka took Roy out of the Sun Island Bay. The griffin flew over the hills and mountains for three days and finally arrived at the outskirts of Padstow on the night of the third day.

The griffin stopped in an apple tree outside the city of Padstow, which was bought by Leishande a long time ago.

When his caravan came to Padstow, they usually stayed in this apple orchard.

After Kaka sent Roy to Padstow, he flew back to the town of Bastion overnight.

Roy stayed in the dormitory of the apple orchard for one night and set off for Padstow early the next morning. The first thing he did after entering the city was to sign in at the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters.

As the head of the Silver Pegasus Corps' guard regiment stationed at the Pagisto Plateau Mine, Roy needed to report to the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters before leaving the Pagisto Plateau.

Now the chief of the logistics department of the military is no longer Lucius. Roy originally thought it was the head of the Berkeley Corps, but in fact, the chief of logistics of the Silver Pegasus Corps is someone else.

Captain Berkeley is currently the governor of Padstow City and also serves as the captain of the City Defense Guard.

Roy got off the carriage and walked down the steps into the lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters. The military headquarters was still the same, and even the Silver Moon Elf receptionist at the front desk of the first floor lobby had not changed.

Roy completed the check-in at the military headquarters, and then asked the front desk of the lobby about the whereabouts of Captain Berkeley.

"At this time, Captain Berkeley is usually in the camp of the City Defense Guard. The newly established City Defense Guard is training every day..."

It was not the Silver Moon Elf at the front desk who told him this, but a colleague of Captain Berkeley in the logistics department.

This colleague has a good relationship with Captain Berkeley and knows that Roy is a friend of Captain Berkeley. The two had met in the office on the second floor before.

"Is Berkeley busy recently?" Roy couldn't help asking.

"Well, after all, those half-blood elf warriors are a group of new recruits, and they need to learn a lot of common sense..." The colleague shrugged at Roy.

"I'll go to the city defense guards to see, thank you for the information you provided." After Roy finished speaking, he waved goodbye to his colleague.

...

Today's Padstow City is much more prosperous than a few months ago, and many shops have opened on both sides of the street.

There are also endless pedestrians on the street, and you can often see some snack stalls at the street corners.

These changes in the city should be brought by the imperial merchants in Castletown Port.

Because they purchased a large number of magic herbs in Castletown Port, the prices of magic herbs in the Elf Continent market have risen in a step-by-step manner. Not only did the magic herbal merchants in Castletown make a lot of money, but those planes that are rich in magic herbs also benefited a lot.

The originally lifeless city began to rejuvenate because of the popularity of magic herbs... As for Roy, he happened to be the largest primary magic herbal merchant in the Partington plane, almost monopolizing more than 60% of the primary magic herbs in the Partington plane.

Of course, the Silver Pegasus Corps also acquiesced to this matter. Roy was qualified to transport the primary magic herbs from the Partington plane to the Elf Continent for sale...

The camp of the City Defense Guard was in a fir forest. The previous Silver Moon Elf City Defense Guard built many beautiful tree houses in this fir forest. It must be said that the aesthetics of the Silver Moon elves are still very online. Even the tree houses in the camp were built in a very good way.

When Roy walked to the gate of the camp, he was stopped by a half-blood elf guard.

Only after Roy showed his identity card to the half-blood elf guard did he enter the camp of the City Defense Guard.

A group of young half-blood elf warriors were training in martial arts in the open space in the forest. Captain Berkeley was standing on a high platform. It seemed that his task of forming a half-blood elf city defense guard was going smoothly.

Roy walked over slowly, stood quietly under a tree, and watched the half-blood elf warriors train quietly.

When Captain Berkeley saw Roy, he jumped down from the platform in surprise, walked straight to Roy's side, stared at him and teased: "Let me see who has come to the city defense guard! It turns out to be Boss Roy from the Pagisto Plateau, what a rare guest!" Walking on the streets of Padstow, almost no one recognizes Roy just by looking at his appearance... But if an elf pointed at Roy's nose and shouted: "You are Boss Roy!" I guess the whole long street would be surrounded by people... Now the name "Boss Roy" has almost spread in Padstow. The half-blood elves all know that there is a noble and amiable Boss Roy on the Pagisto Plateau. It was he who led a group of half-blood elf warriors to drive away the headhunters on the plateau and defeated the gray dwarf bandits in the Queen Ewenni Islands. Roy's reputation is not only loud on the Pagisto Plateau, but also in Padstow, where he has a large number of admirers. When the half-elf warriors who were training heard Captain Berkeley shout, they immediately set their sights on the half-elf boy.

The two friends walked up and hugged each other, and Roy smiled and said:

"I was passing by Padstow City temporarily, so I ran over to see how my old friend was doing!"

"Thanks to Lysander's help, I was able to form a mixed-blood elf guard group in less than half a month. At present, all the Silver Moon Elf guard group has withdrawn from the Partington plane, and Padstow City has officially been ruled by Our mixed-blood elf city defense group took over!"

Captain Berkeley said quite proudly.

"What do you want to do when you come to Padstow City this time?"

Captain Berkeley took Roy to a quiet place nearby and asked him in a low voice.

"I want to go back to Castletown and hire some craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding." Roy said with a smile.

Captain Berkeley said with a puzzled look on his face: "Don't you have eleven three-masted sailing ships on the dock of Partington Island? Why do you still want to recruit shipbuilders? Do you want to form a large fleet for maritime trade? "

Then he immediately added: "Roy, listen to me, crossing the endless sea is definitely not a simple matter."

"I just have a preliminary idea like this, and I don't have a specific plan yet..."

Roy touched his nose and said.

"Oh, by the way, there have been many elves in Padstow City recently saying that you deliberately killed a descendant of the Silver Moon Elf noble on the Padstow Plateau, and this matter has spread to the Elf Continent. Over there, the Council of Elders of the Silver Moon Elf has a strong voice for this, so when you return to Castletown this time, act as low-key as possible and try not to cause trouble..."

Berkeley leader Yin Yin urged Roy.

"Isn't this topic settled yet?" Roy was a little surprised.

"How is it possible! This time, the Silver Moon Elf nobles colluded together to sell mixed-blood Elf slaves in the Partington plane. This had a great impact on the Silver Moon Elf nobles. His Majesty Ans Aier even changed a special item for this purpose. Calendar for the Silver Moon Elves," said Captain Berkeley.

"Now many Silver Moon Elf nobles are trying to muddy the waters here. Killing the descendants of the mixed-blood Elf nobles can just divert everyone's attention!" Captain Berkeley pulled Roy and said with a worried look.

"I know, I won't let them catch it so easily." Roy said.

"In short, you must be low-key and careful!"

Captain Berkeley warned Roy again.

Roy also wanted to return to Partington Island through the portal in the central square. He did not stay too much at the City Defense Corps camp...

Before leaving, the group of young mixed-blood elf warriors who were resting in the forest clearing stood up one after another. Everyone stared at Roy and followed him to the gate of the guard group camp. Just as Roy was about to leave, there was someone. A mixed-blood elf warrior bravely stepped forward and asked loudly: "Are you Boss Roy?"

Roy stopped and slowly turned to look at the group of young mixed elf warriors.

"I am, what do you want from me?"

"Wow..."

A group of mixed-blood elf warriors suddenly cheered, but no elf had the courage to stand up and talk to Roy.

Roy waved to everyone, turned around and left the city defense regiment's barracks.

At this time, the chaotic shouts of the mixed-blood elf warriors came from behind.

"Boss Roy, great job!"

"Boss Roy, thank you..."

…

Partington Island was originally just an unknown island. This island was very close to Parram Prison Island, with less than a hundred nautical miles between them.

Pattington Island looks like a big mountain from the outside, but a peak has been split in the middle by the gods. The town of Pattington Island is built in the middle of the mountain, so the scale of this town is quite limited.

There is a pier on Partington Island, which was originally just a medium-sized sailing ship moored between Castletown and Partington Island.

As the mixed elves on the Partington plane launched a riot, Partington Island gradually came into the sight of the elves.

Partington Island became famous for the second time because of this summer's naval battle on the Queen Egwene Islands. The Silver Pegasus Corps transported a large amount of military supplies from the Partington plane. Partington Island transformed into a vital material transit point at sea. land.

The Moon Temple Priests Group and the Great Elf Archer Group both stayed on Partington Island.

So this small island became a military location...

Roy's eleven three-masted sailboats have been parked on the edge of Partington Island Pier for a long time.

When he returned to Pagisto Plateau, Roy specially left a squadron of mixed-blood elves to guard these three-masted sailing ships.

This time Roy returned to Partington Island, left the Portal Square, and came to the port terminal...

The mixed-blood elf warriors who stayed on the three-masted sailing ship have not been idle recently. They cleaned almost all the barnacles on the bottom of the three-masted sailing ship. The eleven three-masted sailing ships were also repainted with new paint, even the sides of the ship. They all have the words 'Pagisto Mine Guards' written on them.

Not only were these three-masted sailboats not aged or damaged when placed at the dock, they were instead maintained and looked brand new by these mixed-blood elves.

"Well done, the sailboat should be like this..." Roy walked around the sailboat and gave some praise to the mixed-blood elf squadron left behind.

Although these three-masted sailing ships are far less huge than the five-masted sailing ships, they are still considered huge when parked at the port pier.

If Roy hadn't controlled several mines on the Pagisto Plateau, such a large ship... he might not even be able to afford the maintenance fees.

Standing on the three-masted sailboat, Roy was thinking that if such a big ship could be transported to Sun Island Bay, all the problems there might be solved.

It is a pity that such a large ship, let alone transporting it to the Partington plane, even sending it to the dock for full ship renovation, currently does not have the conditions to realize it...

…

Taking the Partington Island supply ship back to Castletown City, before the supply ship entered the port, Roy saw a dozen sailboats floating outside the port waiting to enter the port.

When the supply ship arrives at the port dock, it docks at the diving area.

Only then did Roy discover that the large sailing ships at the deep-water dock were crowded together. Almost all of them were imperial ships that traveled across the ocean.

Seeing so many ships crossing the endless sea, Roy felt that crossing the endless sea was not a difficult problem.

There is still a large amount of supplies piled up on the dock, and these supplies should come from the ships on the dock.

Many half-blood elven workers are carrying large wooden boxes on the dock...

In fact, the magic herbs Roy brought back from the Partington plane were basically traded to these imperial merchants.

In the past few times, Roy used magic herbs in exchange for large amounts of magic crystals, followed by some magic equipment. Roy felt that the most profitable thing was to exchange for some floating devices.

Roy returned home to Castleton City, but Ms. Belinda still hadn't come back. During this time, she didn't even write a postcard back.

The yard next door was also empty, Ms. Jillian should be at the fish market, and Moira and Sabrina were over there at the Elf Academy.

Roy took a simple shower at home, changed into dry clothes, and then came to the Black Pearl. Unexpectedly, Miss Tiffany was still on the ship...

"Hey, Roy, why are you back? Didn't I hear that you went to Sun Island Bay?" Miss Tiffany asked.

"The situation there is quite stable, so I want to come back and take a look when I have free time," Roy said.

“Isn’t Sun Island Bay beautiful?”

Miss Tiffany is obviously very interested in the sea in the Partington plane...

"It's okay, but you rarely see the sun on the north coast. It's almost always cloudy." Roy described the situation there to Miss Tiffany.

"There are fish-men over there too?" Miss Tiffany asked.

"The fish-man spirits have almost no intelligence. They are commanded by a group of sea monsters, which caused us a lot of trouble." Roy said. "Miss Tiffany, I am coming to Castletown this time. If possible, I would like to ask you to be my translator. I need to communicate with those sirens..."
