Chapter 536 537. Ms. Nancy

On the beach, officials from Padstow's Silver Pegasus military headquarters personally came forward and asked Roy to borrow a three-masted sailboat to go to the Queen Egwene Islands. Of course, Roy couldn't refuse.

Eight three-masted sailing ships stood side by side in the sheltered fjord. Roy raised his hand and called two flying fish boats, asking the mixed-blood elf crew to take the military official and the three investigators to the seventh sailing ship. Go up.

Military officials did not introduce the identity of the three-masted investigators to Roy, so Roy pretended not to know them.

The three investigators stood behind the military officials with straight faces. They had changed into clean military uniforms. If Roy hadn't known them before, he might have mistaken them for military officials.

Without any cordial greetings or words of thanks, the military officials boarded the flying fish boat, put their right hands on their left shoulders, and saluted Roy from a distance to express their gratitude.

Roy forced out a stiff smile and waved to them...

…

It wasn't until the two flying fish boats rowed far away that Miss Tiffany was pushed out of the sea by a wave.

She opened her arms, and her shark-patterned dress was wetted by the sea water, showing off her graceful figure.

Miss Tiffany in the sea has a lazy charm. Her eyes seem to be filled with stories. Even a gentle smile will make people start to make certain associations...

"You know the identities of those three Silver Moon Elf investigators, why do you still want to lend them a boat?"

Miss Tiffany couldn't understand what Roy was doing and asked with a frown.

There were still crystal drops of water hanging on her face, and a crystal drop of water fell on her chest. The white ravine seemed to be able to bury the ambitions of all men...

Moira squatted on the shoal, holding a bunch of fresh sea fish in her hand. When she saw Roy's eyes falling on her, she immediately stood up and waved to Roy with a smile. This keen perception was also shared by the adventure group. No one can compare to it.

Roy waved to Moira, then turned to Miss Tiffany lying on the beach and said:

"Even if I don't lend it... can I still prevent them from going to the Queen Egwene Islands? Lending the boat out won't make things worse, and maybe I can get a favor in return."

Roy turned around, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, and whispered:.

"But I usually hate those who eat my food, drink my food, and turn their backs to scold me."

Miss Tiffany got up from the beach. The three-color fish tail magically turned into two slender white legs, which were covered under the wet shark pattern dress...

"Ah? How do you want to teach them a lesson?" Miss Tiffany asked.

Roy rubbed his nose and said: "Tiffany, have you ever heard of a saying - if you don't go out at dawn, the sunset will travel a thousand miles?"

"Well, I've never heard of this."

Miss Mermaid, who has lived under the sea since she was a child, naturally has no experience in this area of ​​life.

Roy explained very patiently:

"The meaning of this sentence is that when you see the sunset, the weather will probably be good tomorrow, but if you see the morning glow, then it is likely to be cloudy or even rainy today..."

Before Roy could finish speaking, a mixed-blood elf captain ran over and reported:

"Boss Roy, it may rain tonight and the wind will pick up at night. If you want to send the ship out to sea, it is best to park it in a sheltered fjord for one night..."

"Will there be a sea storm at night?" Roy asked.

"No...it is expected to have passed. There will only be strong winds in this season, and there will be few storms." The half-blood elf captain explained.

Roy waved his hand after hearing this.

"If the wind and waves are not too big, just let them go."

The closest to Pattington Island is Parram Prison Island. Roy felt that even if they didn't have time to return to Pattington Island, they would probably be able to dock on Prison Island.

Roy stood on the shore and watched sailboat No. 7 sail out of the sheltered fjord.

…

There are many tents set up on the beach of Partington Island, which is very messy.

In the evening, some mixed-blood elves lit a bonfire in front of the tent, letting a little fire appear on the narrow beach...

These mixed elves basically came here from all over the elven continent after they heard that Padstow City had become a gathering place for mixed elves, and that the Partington plane was full of magic herbs.

They live on the beach and don't have to worry about food.

The local elf fishermen carried strings of sea fish and ran to each tent to sell them.

"Teacher Woods, is that you?"

A sweet-looking, round-faced mixed-race elf girl poked her head out of a tent, happened to see Woods walking on the beach, and immediately sent a greeting to Woods.

She was wearing a beige magic robe. She seemed to have just washed her hair. Her hair was wet and stuck to her face, and her face was very delicate.

Just behind the round-faced mixed-race elf girl, a few more elf girls popped up.

"Ah! Why are you guys here too?"

Woods discovered that among these elf girls, two worked part-time in the alchemy workshop and had danced at the college's final dance a few days ago.

The elf girl with a round face was very lively. She came out of the tent and invited Woods to sit on the beach in front of their tent. Then she said with some distress:

"The Elf Academy is on holiday. I heard that the portal in the Partington plane was unblocked, so everyone wanted to adventure in the Partington plane. Unexpectedly, there were so many elves on this island. Now... we can only stay here. "

Woods also saw that there were indeed too many mixed-blood elves stranded on the beach.

On the pier of Partington Island Port, every time a ship docks, a large group of elves will get off the ship.

Woods said:

"Oh, I just came back from the Partington plane, and I have been waiting in line for a long time. But if you want to go to Partington to collect magic herbs, you will definitely not find anything near Padstow City. A lot of magic herbs grow in Blackwater Swamp. Blackwater Swamp is about two weeks away from Padstow City, so you should be well prepared for this adventure."

The round-faced elf girl asked softly:

"Mr. Woods, do you know much about the Partington plane?"

Woods nodded and said:

"It's not bad. The alchemy workshop occasionally goes to Padstow City to purchase magic herbs, so it knows a lot about the information about magic herbs."

There was a hint of joy in the eyes of several elf girls, and the round-faced elf girl immediately requested:

"Then can you tell us about the Partington plane? To be honest, it's still quite unfamiliar to us."

An elf girl also brought out several cups of fruit tea from the tent.

Woods held a cup of fruit tea and thought for a moment before saying:

"How should I put it... There is currently only one elf city in the Partington plane, which is what we all call Padstow City. The reason why this city is so famous is because almost all the residents in the city are mixed-blood elves. Moreover, the security guard group in the city is also formed by mixed elves."

"Currently, Padstow City is very famous. The main reason is that the magic herbal medicine market in the Elf Continent is booming. This plane happens to be rich in magic herbs..."

"As for the adventurers who enter the Partington plane, I think if they are junior adventure groups, they may not be able to venture to the Blackwater Swamp. I heard that there are level four monsters in the depths of the swamp..."

"Ah!" Several elf girls exclaimed.

Woods motioned for them to quiet down and listen to him continue:

"A safer place than the Blackwater Swamp may be the Pagisto Plateau, but it is too far away. Even if you ride a horse and follow the pack team to the Pagisto Plateau, a round trip will take at least fifty years. Oh, and there are some very dangerous aborigines lurking on the plateau.”

"A safer place than the Pagisto Plateau is the jungle near the Griffin Barrier Mountains, but if you go there, be careful of the griffons in the sky..."

Woods met several magical girls from the Elf Academy on the beach and started chatting with them.

Talking about the details of waiting in line to enter the portal on Partington Island, discussing some tips in the process of refining magic potions, etc...

The wheel of time seemed to be moved forward one after another by a time assassin, and soon it became dark.

…

In the evening, Roy decided to take Moira, Sabrina, and Miss Tiffany to visit Ms. Nancy.

In the past, when Roy's adventure group passed through Partington Island, he would follow the example of Instructor Nora and lead the adventure group members to stay in Ms. Nancy's family hotel.

After Roy became an officer of the Silver Pegasus Corps, he didn't need to stay on Partington Island. The last few times he passed through Partington Island, he didn't visit Nancy because of his busy schedule. Miss.

This time, the members of the Zakarum adventure group were quite complete, so Roy wanted to visit Ms. Nancy.

But before setting off, he discovered that Woods was missing.

He searched at the beach but did not find Woods, so he could only take Moira, Sabrina, and Miss Tiffany with him.

The streets were still crowded with mixed elves waiting to enter the Partington plane, but the main road in the town was still passable.

Ms. Nancy's family hotel is in a relatively remote location in the town. It is already on the rock wall at the heart of the mountain.

Roy stood outside the hotel and knocked hard, then opened the wooden door and walked in.

Moira, Sabrina and Miss Tiffany followed behind him.

Ms. Nancy wiped her wet hands with a towel and walked out of the kitchen. When she saw Roy walking into the hotel, she straightened her brows and said with a smile:

"Roy...it turns out to be you guys! How come you guys are heading to the Partington plane at this time?"

"Hello, Mrs. Nancy, we happened to be passing by Partington Island and came to visit you..." Roy said.

Ms. Nancy greeted Roy and others:

"Come in and sit down."

There are also several mixed-blood elf guests in the living room, and everyone is sitting on the sofa chatting.

Ms. Nancy spread her hands and said to Roy:

"It's an unlucky time for you to come. There are only two rooms left. If you want to stay, you have to squeeze in!"

Several mixed-blood elf guests in the room looked at Ms. Nancy with strange expressions:

"Ms. Nancy, didn't you say before that the rooms in the hotel are full?"

Ms. Nancy glanced at them. She didn't make any explanation, but the information in her eyes conveyed no less.

Several mixed-blood elf guests immediately shut their mouths.

Roy waved his hand quickly and said: "We are staying at the sheltered fjord tonight. We are here just to visit you. I haven't chatted with you for a long time..."

Ms. Nancy was a little surprised, and asked Roy and the others to sit down at the dining table, and brought out a plate of hazelnut-baked muffins and a pot of sweet lemon tea from the kitchen.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Nora for a long time..."

Ms. Nancy sat in the host's seat and said to Roy.

"Instructor Nora is going to the Emerald Forest this vacation and does not plan to come to the Partington plane." Sabrina leaned over and explained.

"I guess they also know that the Partington plane will be overcrowded at this time, so they refuse to come..." Ms. Nancy took a sip of hot tea and said slowly.

Roy also said with a wry smile:

"I don't even know why there are so many mixed elves queuing up to enter Partington."

Ms. Nancy blew the steam from the tea cup, and then said:

"Many mixed-blood elves are eager to get rid of the oppression of the Silver Moon elves, so they swarm to Partington Island!"

"Speaking of which, the conflict between the mixed-blood elves and the silver-moon elves has existed for a long time. I think the main reason for the conflict between the silver-moon elves and the mixed-blood elves is the issue of birth rate."

"The birth rate of mixed-blood elves is much higher than that of Silver Moon elves!"

"The Silver Moon Elves have always been nervous. They are worried that the population of mixed-blood elves will grow faster and faster, which will slowly change the social structure of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom and encroach on the existing living resources of the Silver Moon Elves."

"That's why they will further squeeze the living space of the mixed elves, hoping to suppress the growth rate of the mixed elves' population."

"The life of many mixed-blood elves in the Elf Continent is very bad. It's not that the Elf Continent doesn't have enough resources, but that it's restricted by the Silver Moon Elves."

"Currently, the Partington plane is suddenly open. Many mixed-blood elves have heard that life here is very comfortable... Naturally, a large number of mixed-blood elves are coming."

"...However, I always feel that there should be some elves secretly pushing behind this matter, otherwise the news of the lifting of the ban on the Partington plane should not have spread so quickly."

"The Silver Moon elves' inherent prejudice against mixed-blood elves cannot change anything in a short period of time. Now a large number of mixed-blood elves are pouring into Padstow City, giving this forest city a sense of empty prosperity, but this illusion of prosperity Behind the scenes, many problems that have been dormant for a long time will explode one by one. "

"Roy, I heard that you have a very famous name in the Partington plane. You are called 'Boss Roy' by many mixed elves?"

Mrs. Nancy was very talkative, and Roy listened very carefully.

"Hey, I took over many mines on the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane, so they like to call me 'Boss Roy'!" Roy admitted frankly.

Mrs. Nancy pointed at Roy and sighed:

"Time seems to be a very strange thing. It feels like a nap time. Roy, you have actually become the well-known boss Roy in the Partington plane."

Roy smiled sheepishly and said:

"Hey, actually when I walk on the street, not many elves can recognize me..."

Ms. Nancy put down her tea cup and said to Roy:

"Now the Partington plane is called the 'sanctuary of mixed elves' by many mixed-blood elves. Therefore, Roy, you must pay more attention when you are in the Partington plane, and you must divert the attention of those mixed-blood elves in time. Negative emotions, otherwise once those long-standing conflicts break out, it is estimated that the Partington plane will be blocked again soon. If this is the case, if the portal here wants to be unblocked, I don’t know how long it will be. It’s happened…”
