Path of light

Chapter 535 536. Borrowing a boat

There was a long queue in front of the portal in the central square of Padstow City. Most of them were mixed elves, and everyone was crowded together.

Fortunately, the weather was not too hot, so the elves were not so agitated standing in the waiting area.

A mixed-blood elf businessman carrying a large travel bag took out a handkerchief. He wiped the sweat from his neck, pursed his lips and placed the heavy package at his feet. He looked at the motionless crowd and muttered:

"Didn't the announcement say that the portal from Padstow City to Partington Island will be opened today? We waited until the afternoon, why are there still elves coming from Partington Island? This... what on earth do we have to wait for? when!"

Standing next to him was a mixed-race elf dressed as a traveler. He wore a brown leather armor on his upper body, a pair of bloomers on his lower body, and a pair of very wear-resistant traveler boots on his feet. He could not tell how old he was.

At this time, the traveler couldn't help but smile and said to the backpack businessman:

"It is estimated that there are too many elves waiting to pass through the portal on Partington Island. If the island exceeds the maximum number of people, it is estimated that they will continue to be transported to the Partington plane! Friends who came from Partington Island last night Mentioned this to me..."

"Just wait. There are so many elves staying in the square here. It's impossible for us to wait forever."

The backpacker merchant asked the traveler curiously: "Are you preparing to go on a trip when you enter the Elf Continent?"

"Haha, I am not going on a trip, but I am preparing to end this trip! The last time I planned to leave Padstow City, it happened to be the time when the Silver Pegasus Army was quelling the riots in Padstow City. I have been waiting for six years to successfully leave the Partington plane. Now that the Partington plane is finally lifted, my journey is about to end..." the traveler said with emotion.

Behind the traveler, a young mixed-race elf poked his head and asked, "You are a traveler. You must have been to many places on the elf continent, right?"

"That's natural. I have traveled to all three major capitals of the Elf Continent." The traveler said proudly.

"Then you must know the city of Buenos. Can you tell me what it's like there?" the young mixed-blood elf asked curiously.

"My young friend, are you going to Buenos City?" the traveler asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Yes, I plan to study in Buenos. I heard that the Elf Academy there is the most advanced academy in the Elf Continent." The young mixed-race elf's eyes were full of longing.

"To go to the High Elf Academy in Buenos, you need a letter of recommendation. Have you got a letter of recommendation?" the traveler asked.

"some……"

The elves waiting here had some common topics, and time passed quickly.

Many mixed-blood elves are dreamers who want to see the outside world. They are full of curiosity about the Elf Continent and plan to take advantage of the opportunity of the portal being lifted to have a look outside.

Moira, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany and Woods were also mixed in the team. They didn't speak, they just listened quietly to everyone's chat.

At this time, the team suddenly started to move.

Everyone looked towards the teleportation gate, and sure enough, the area at the teleportation gate had been cleared by a group of mixed-blood elf guards.

The mixed-blood elf guard raised the railing, and the mixed-blood elf waiting at the front quickly rushed towards the portal, and disappeared into the mirror-like portal one after another...

"It's moving! It's moving! Get your things and watch your steps..."

"Don't squeeze in the back!"

From time to time, there were mixed-blood elves shouting in the team.

No one expected that there were so many elves waiting in front of the portal. Woods rushed to the front alone, and Sabrina was at the back of the team. The two of them sandwiched Moira and Miss Tiffany in the middle. The four of them Stumbling among the crowd, he approached the portal.

"Just wait until we get to Partington Island..." Woods comforted everyone as he walked.

Finally it was their turn to enter the portal. Looking at the ripples of water on the mirror of the portal, the four of them quickly walked in...

He quickly emerged from the other side of the portal.

The square here in Partington Town is not too big, after all, the space on the mountainside is limited.

There were at least fifty elf guards standing in front of the portal. These elf guards lined up in two teams on both sides of the portal. When they saw the elves coming out of the portal, they kept urging:

'Hurry up and make room in front of the portal. Don't stop, everyone, go forward and make space...'

Sometimes these elf guards were too hasty and looked like they were driving away, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many mixed-blood elves.

Walking into the narrow alleys of Partington Town, many mixed-blood elves laid their luggage rolls directly on the stone road of Partington Town. These mixed-blood elves were probably waiting to enter the Partington plane.

The mixed-blood elves pouring in from all over the town are almost filling up the whole town.

"It turns out there are so many elves crowded here..."

Moira walked in the middle of the team and whispered.

"No wonder the portal guards here have extended the passage time by half a day..." Woods also echoed.

"where are we going?"

Miss Tiffany poured the water from a water bag over her head, and then said:

"First follow the crowd to the outside of the island..."

The four of them arrived at the beach and found that not only was the dock of Partington Island crowded with half-blood elves, but even the beaches around the island were full of half-blood elves who wanted to enter the Partington plane. Everyone set up tents on the beach and waited for the portal to open again.

Roy's three-masted sailboats were almost all docked in the sheltered fjord. One of them was parked on the bracket on the beach, and even the propulsion device at the tail had been installed.

Four dwarf apprentices were debugging the magic airship before the test flight.

The beach was currently under martial law, and the four did not go there, but just rested on the beach at the edge of the martial law area.

Miss Tiffany couldn't wait to dive into the sea. Moira hugged Sabrina's arms with both hands, blushing as she confided her innermost thoughts to her sister:

"Sometimes, I feel that no matter how hard I try, it seems difficult to catch up with him."

"Since he entered the Partington plane, he seems to have started running at full speed on the road of life. He was originally just going to be a guide on the Pagisto Plateau for the Silver Pegasus Corps, but now he has become the governor of the Pagisto Plateau. But he is just an ordinary half-elf. What should I do..."

Sabrina turned her head and looked at the medium-sized sailing ship on the sea in the distance. She did not answer Moira's question. Perhaps Moira just needed her to act as a listener, or Sabrina was a little confused...

Yes, how did it suddenly become like this?

...

When Roy rushed to the central square from the supply warehouse, he happened to see a large number of half-blood elves lined up to walk into the portal.

The queue circled the central square three times and extended nearly one kilometer on the street. If Roy waited at the end of the queue to wait for all the elves to pass, he felt that he might have to wait until tomorrow noon.

After all, the tax officials would still be checking the queue behind him.

He hung the badge of the leader of the Silver Pegasus Legion on his chest and walked straight to the central square.

When the half-blood elf guards saw Roy, they all took the initiative to salute.

Almost all of these half-blood elf guards knew Roy. Occasionally, there were one or two who didn't know him, but they also knew that this young half-elf was the famous boss Roy after their companions whispered to them.

Roy had a very high reputation among the half-blood elves in Padstow City. When the half-blood elf guards saw Roy coming, they took the initiative to take Roy to the portal.

The half-blood elf guards guarding the portal blocked other elves who were about to enter the portal and left a special passage for Roy.

Then Roy went through the portal directly under the gaze of all the elves...

Among the elves in the queue, some Silver Moon elves saw this scene and immediately questioned the half-blood elf guard beside them: "Why is there still privilege? Didn't they say that there is no privilege after the portal is unlocked this time? Silver Moon elves and half-blood elves are treated equally, why can't we use the fast lane, but he can?"

The half-blood elf guard glanced at the Silver Moon elf as if he was a fool, and ignored him at all.

"Hey, hey, hey, give me an explanation quickly, otherwise I will write a complaint letter to the Silver Pegasus Military..."

The half-blood elf guard turned around and left his back to the half-blood elf.

...

On Partington Island, the third magic airship immediately conducted a test flight around the island after the transformation was completed.

Under the control and command of four dwarf apprentices, this magic airship successfully completed its first voyage.

Many half-blood elves staying on the island saw this scene.

In fact, this kind of magic airship is still rare in the elf world.

Everyone was a little curious. Seeing the magic airship passing silently overhead, they cheered on the beach.

The officer of the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Department and three investigators stood on the dock. The dock of Partington Island was also very crowded. Several supply ships were not in the port at this time. Only a medium-sized sailing ship was planning to set off for Castletown Port.

The three investigators only wanted to go to the Silver Pegasus Corps headquarters in the Queen Ewenni Islands to complain to Deputy Corps Commander Macaulay about the incompetence of the Partington Plane Military Department, and did not want to return to Castletown City.

Therefore, the group stayed at the dock of Partington Island.

The officials of the Silver Pegasus Military Department began to actively think of ways. They wanted to directly call a military supply ship at the dock...

At this time, the three investigators saw the magic airship in the sky almost at the same time.

"...Why is there a magic airship here?"

An investigator stood on the crowded dock, looking up at the sky, and asked with doubts.

Another investigator also echoed, "How could the technology developed by the despicable goblins appear on Partington Island?"

"There is a magic airship modification workshop on the island, and a group of dwarf craftsmen are modifying magic airships here. The modified magic airships will be transported to the Partington plane. There is no air restriction decree for magic airships on the Partington plane for the time being." The officer of the Silver Pegasus Military Department replied.

"Didn't they say that there are no ships going to the Queen Ewenni Islands? Why are there still ships modifying magic airships there?" The investigator immediately questioned.

"Those ships are the private property of Captain Roy. As for how to deal with these ships, that is Captain Roy's personal problem, and we can't ask." The person in charge of the Partington Island Pier said.

In fact, the Silver Moon Elf Elder Council has not officially issued an air restriction decree for magic airships...

So the three investigators couldn't make a fuss about this for the time being.

"So, there are still idle ships at the transformation workshop..." the investigator asked.

The person in charge of the Partington Island dock hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said:

"That's right!"

"Then we can definitely call a ship from the transformation workshop!" The investigator said loudly to the military official.

The military official looked a little ugly.

He just said that these three-masted sailing ships belonged to Captain Roy personally, but at this time, he had to come forward to coordinate and borrow them. It was really...

The military official had no good way to deal with the three investigators, so he could only frown and agree.

The group left the crowded island dock and walked directly to the magic airship transformation workshop along the beach.

...

Roy stood on the beach, he looked up at the magic airship in the sky.

The third magic airship slowly fell back into the sea. It seemed that the test flight should be very successful. Next, Roy needed to coordinate with the Partington Island portal guard about the approximate time for the magic airship to pass through the portal.

Now Partington Island is full of elves preparing to go to Partington plane, so Roy estimated that the magic airship may need to make an appointment in advance to pass through the portal.

He was about to talk to Master Mags about the progress of the transformation of the fourth magic airship, when he saw a half-blood elf warrior running over to report: "Boss Roy, several military officials want to see you!"

Hearing that the military officials took the initiative to find him, Roy was also slightly stunned.

"Where is it, take me there!" Roy ordered.

The half-blood elf warrior immediately took Roy to the beach nearby.

Roy couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw the military official and the three investigators. It was really fate.

We just met in the lobby on the first floor of the Padstow Military Headquarters this morning, and we can meet again on Partington Island in the afternoon...

Then, Roy strode over with a smile on his face and asked the military official: "I am Roy. May I ask if you want to see me?"

"Captain Roy, I am Brad, the political officer of the Padstow Military Headquarters. We are visiting you this time to borrow a three-masted sailing ship from you. We plan to go to Queen Ewenni Island and return that night!" The military official spoke very politely.

"That's no problem. Do you need our crew?"

Roy agreed without even thinking about it. He didn't even look at the three investigators.

"That... of course it would be the best."

The military official responded with a smile.
