Path of light

Chapter 498 499.Autumn

Entering autumn in Castleton City, the starry sky at night is particularly clear...

When countless stars were twinkling overhead, Roy had actually thought about whether one of them could be the sun.

There were almost no pedestrians on the clean Brown Street, and there was only the sound of the Darne River flowing.

Nightsaber followed Roy with his head drooped. After all, it was a Warcraft. An adult Nightsaber also had the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old child. Although it could not speak Elvish, it could understand it. Mrs. Winnie let it Follow Roy...

Although it also longed for the outside world, the moment it left home still made it feel quite emotional.

Roy and Nightsaber pushed open the courtyard door of his home. The lights were already on in the courtyard next door, and Sabrina could be seen walking around in the living room through the glass window.

At this time, Moira was sitting on the wall of the courtyard, and with a strong push of her hands, she fell lightly into Roy's yard.

Seeing the night saber next to Roy's legs, Moira's eyes widened. She squatted in front of the night saber and tried to touch its soft hair with her hands.

However, the night saber lowered his head, staring at Moira with a pair of eyes warily, and made a 'woo-woo' sound in his mouth.

Moira was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand and asked Roy:

"Ah, why did you bring it back?"

Roy quickly comforted the night saber, took it under the porch, and said, "Mrs. Winnie wanted it to return to the jungle, but she didn't want to do such a troublesome thing herself, so she entrusted it to me and asked me to take care of it." Take it to the Partington plane."

Moira's eyes widened and she stared at Roy:

"So...you really want to take it to the Partington plane?"

Roy shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "That's all we can do."

Roy walked into the house. The house must have been cleaned frequently, and there wasn't much dust.

After taking a shower, I washed my clothes and dried them on the terrace on the second floor.

During this time, Moira was alone on the terrace practicing 'thrust'. This is the skill most commonly used by assassins when ambushing enemies. It turns the body into a beam of light and reaches the opponent directly...

There are several pots of green plants on the rooftop, two of which are Roy's favorite flowers of light. Although the holy light particles produced by the flowers of light are now of minimal help to Roy, these flowers of light are still Very well looked after.

Seeing Roy walking up to the second floor in shorts and vest holding a wooden basin, Moira blushed and wanted to step forward to help.

Roy did not refuse. He asked Moira to wipe the clothesline on the rooftop with a wet rag, and the two of them quickly hung up a set of clothes to dry.

Then he sat on the bench on the rooftop, back to back.

Moira curled up her knees, hugged her calves with her hands, raised her head and looked up at the stars.

She rested her head on Roy's shoulder, her pointed ears twitching slightly from time to time, and it would feel a little itchy when she touched Roy's short hair.

Both of them were enjoying a moment of silence, neither of them speaking.

When Moira turned her head to look at Roy's profile, Roy happened to turn his head as well. Everything seemed so natural, and Roy couldn't help but peck her delicate lips.

Moira's lips were very soft, with a faint sweetness, the taste of elves...

He never dreamed that one day he would kiss an elf. Roy felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat at this moment.

Moira's eyes seemed to melt, and she looked at Roy with blurred eyes.

Snow-white arms wrapped around Roy's neck...

At this moment, the door to the courtyard next door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and Ms. Jillian dragged a flatbed truck into the courtyard from the outside.

Sabrina hurried out to help, and the sound of Ms. Jillian and Sabrina talking quietly could be heard in the yard.

Moira was so frightened that she quickly stood up, her face looking like a ripe red apple.

She stepped on the rooftop railing with one foot, and her body turned into an afterimage, landing silently by the window of the next room. Her body was as light as a civet cat, and she got into the house with a swish.

Not long after, Moira also walked out of the house wearing a suspender pajamas and stood sleepily under the eaves, looking like a good girl.

…

Roy threw the letter to Wetzel into the mailbox. He had not been in Castletown recently, so there was not much news that he could write in his heart.

The biggest change in Castletown at present is that a large group of merchant ships from the Green Empire have arrived at the port. These merchant ships are buying up magic herbs, magic pattern constructs and mithril ingots. The most exaggerated thing is that in the magic market, the price of magic herbs has reached the current level. It has almost tripled so far.

Many elves and magicians in the city have to cut down their expenses as much as possible when preparing magic herbs.

Have no idea! Today's magic herbs are too expensive, and they have even affected the lives of elves.

After mailing the letter to Wetzel, Roy hired a carriage from the carriage shop in the lower town. The carriage drove all the way out of Castletown and drove along a main road towards the Magala Jungle.

From Castletown to Castle Ellington, the horse-drawn carriage takes a whole day.

The closer to the Magala Jungle, the harder the road becomes. Roy has no intention of riding a horse. Although the carriage ride is a bit bumpy, it allows him to sit in the carriage and think continuously.

He has drawn the area of ​​Sun Island Bay on a piece of parchment. As for how to drive away the fishmen on Sun Island, Roy still has no good method yet.

This time, Roy went to Ellington Castle to fulfill his promise to Count Amelia. He would visit her at the castle when he had time and talk to her about what happened in the outside world.

In fact, a lot of things happened during this period.

The carriage drove into the Malaga Jungle, where the scenery of autumn had already appeared. Many berries along the way had matured and hung on the treetops like bunches of black grapes.

Ellington Castle was still as dilapidated as ever. The two sculptures at the gate were left with only the two big feet of the statues except for the stone piers.

The carriage stopped at Ellington Castle. Roy walked out of the carriage, paid the coachman one hundred kole, and made an appointment with the coachman to pick him up here tomorrow. The coachman drove the carriage and hurriedly left Ellington Castle.

If he left later, the carriage might not have left the Malaga Jungle before it got dark...

Walk into the castle along the arched stone bridge at the door, pass through the city gate and enter the small square inside the castle. There are many traces of camping here.

Ellington Castle has always been a paradise for beginner explorers. There are many interesting rumors hidden here, which makes ordinary elves stay away...

This is also a very meaningful historical site. This castle just witnessed the rise and fall of the Elven Dynasty. The desolation of Ellington Castle also indirectly confirmed the end of the Elven Dynasty.

He took out a simple bag from the magic waist bag and set up a tent on the corridor outside the weapon warehouse.

Roy followed the secret path to the platform where the breadfruit tree was planted, and then Roy climbed up the tree to pick a breadfruit.

Just as Roy cut the breadfruit with a dagger and took out a room of flesh from it, Roy felt a cool breeze blowing around him. He turned his head and looked under the shade of the tree next to him. Count Amelia was sitting there quietly.

"Let me think about how long I haven't seen you, little guy. The last time I saw you was about a year ago..." Count Amelia held his chin with one hand and sat there talking to himself.

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl Amelia. I've been busy with some things in the Partington plane and not in Castletown, so I can't come to Ellington Castle to visit you!" Roy felt that he should explain to Earl Amelia.

"What are you busy with in the Partington plane?" Earl Amelia asked curiously.

"It's a long story. It all started with Lord Alvis selling elf slaves in the Partington plane..."

Roy told the story of the Partington plane slowly and told the half-blood elves living there.

"I have heard about the Partington plane, but you said that the gray dwarf bandits are going to attack the Queen Ivennie Islands recently?" Earl Amelia's attention was completely attracted by this matter.

"Yes, they joined forces with a siren army to try to seize the Queen Ivennie Islands!" Roy said.

"Heh! It seems that someone must have pushed these gray dwarves into a corner, otherwise they would not have been able to forcefully attack the island where the Silver Moon Elves were stationed." Earl Amelia judged with certainty.

"Recently, a large group of imperial merchant ships came to Castleton City. They are purchasing a large number of magic herbs. I heard that a plane war broke out in the Green Empire..."

Roy continued to tell Earl Amelia about the news he had learned.

Earl Amelia nodded, then closed his eyes and said, "Every once in a while, those Abyssal Hell forces will always be ready to move. This time they have set their sights on the imperial people. The Elf Continent will not be affected too much. Since the alliance between humans, elves, and dwarves, those guys are still trying to find a breakthrough from the human world. If conditions permit, those human merchants should help..."

Roy sat under the breadfruit tree and chatted with Earl Amelia for almost the entire night.

Earl Amelia always has unique insights into many things, which has benefited Roy a lot.

After fulfilling his promise to Earl Amelia, Roy hurriedly left Ellington Castle the next day at noon in a carriage that came to pick him up. Roy didn't get a good rest last night, so he took a nap in the carriage...

He slept almost all the way. When Roy took the carriage back to Castletown, it was just past midnight.

The carriage stopped at the door of Roy's house, and Roy pushed the door and walked in.

The Night Blade Leopard was lying on a stone slab in front of the house, looked up at Roy, shook his round tail, and ignored Roy.

There was also a simple message in the mailbox at the door:

Roy: See you at Castletown Port Dock at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. I have already heard about the dwarf craftsman.

The signature at the back was Claire. Roy was familiar with Claire's notes. There was no doubt that this was a message written by Claire herself.

Roy pushed the door and walked into the living room. When he passed the dining room, the fruit basket on the table was full of fresh fruits. Roy guessed that this should be Moira's handwriting...

He took a few berries and stuffed them into his mouth, took a shower, and went to sleep.

...

The next morning, Roy arrived at the Castletown Port on time and saw Claire standing in front of a merchant ship.

Claire was followed by several Silver Moon Elf followers and was talking to several Empire merchants.

Roy walked over quickly...

Claire's eyes lit up when she saw Roy, and she introduced him to the Empire merchants: "This is my best friend - Roy, he is also the employer of the dwarf craftsmen this time."

When the imperial businessman saw Roy's human-like face, he was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"We can discuss it in detail on the ship, but I will carefully discuss it with the dwarf craftsmen on our ship according to the preparation conditions you mentioned yesterday. If there is no suitable wood, you want to build a sailing three-masted sailing ship in the near future. It's almost impossible."

At the invitation of the imperial businessman, Roy and Claire boarded the sea ship.

Roy came to the deck and saw dwarves among the crew...

The imperial businessman took Roy and Claire to the captain's cabin, where there was a very comfortable-looking conference table, and a group of people sat around the conference table.

The imperial businessman who spoke fluent Elvish took the initiative to sit across from Roy and asked him: "I heard that you want to build a three-masted sailing ship. Can I take the liberty of asking where these three-masted sailing ships will be built? "

"On the same plane." Roy never thought about telling the Partington plane...

The imperial businessman hesitated for a moment, then frowned and asked tentatively: "Do you have any wood reserves in advance?"

Roy said honestly: "There is no such thing, but the forest resources in that plane are abundant, and giant trees hundreds of meters high can be seen everywhere."

"The wood that is cut directly cannot be used to build ships before it is completely dry..."

The imperial businessman whispered to Roy.

A dwarf craftsman walked in from outside, saw the imperial merchant saluting and asked: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"If you are given enough manpower and asked to build a three-masted sailboat on a plane without any preparations, how long will it take you to build it?"

"If we can use local materials, it will take four and a half years!" the old dwarf craftsman replied without hesitation.

Roy didn't expect it would take so long, and was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

He couldn't wait four years for a three-masted sailing ship.

He suddenly remembered that that night, when everyone was chatting together, they said that if the existing three-masted sailboat was disassembled and assembled in the Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane, the shipbuilding time might be greatly shortened.

So Roy asked the old dwarf craftsman:

"If I have a three-masted sailboat, but I want to dismantle the three-masted sailboat, transport it to that seat, and assemble it at the port dock over there... Is it feasible?"

The old dwarf craftsman did not speak immediately, but looked at the imperial businessman.

Seeing the imperial businessman nodding, he said: "Although there are some difficulties, we should be able to overcome them..."
