Path of light

Chapter 678 679. Roy’s plan

Everyone in the Silver Pegasus Military Department was talking about one thing. Chief Berkeley and Commander Roy had a quarrel in the office. Chief Berkeley even smashed his favorite teacup...

Captain Roy plans to obtain more benefits for the mixed elves, such as reducing personal tolls when passing through the Partington portal, and 30% of the tariffs on goods carried.

Of course, Captain Berkeley would not agree to Captain Roy's unreasonable request. Not only would he not agree to Captain Roy's application, he would also implement a higher level of security for the Silver Moon Elves in Padstow City. , such as increasing the number of patrols sent to the Silver Moon Elf living area.

Captain Roy then angrily left the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters.

…

During the recent period, magic airships loaded with cargo dock at the Padstow City Airport Terminal every day. In addition to metal ingots and magic herbs transported from the Padstow Plateau, there are also small items transported from Sun Island Bay. Dried fish and chilled sea fish, etc.

There are almost a million mixed-race elves living in Padstow City. Of course, this huge group of mixed-race elves cannot only eat fruits every day. They also prefer to eat fish.

Since fish shipped from Partington Island are subject to tariffs, generally speaking, few elves would traffic fish from Partington Island to Padstow City.

Therefore, fish from Sun Island Bay has now occupied the Padstow City market...

There are rich fishery resources near Sun Island. I heard that the drying ground there is on a ten-kilometer-long coastline.

Currently, the airport terminal is the busiest place in Padstow City. A large number of mixed-blood elves flock to the airport terminal every day looking for things to do.

In recent months, with the influx of mixed elves into the Partington plane, Padstow City has expanded rapidly.

Recently, there have been too many mixed-blood elves in the city, and the city has a serious surplus of human resources. Currently, collectors have formed small groups. They want to go to the depths of the Blackwater Swamp to find magic herbs, so these collection teams are relatively exclusive of novices. .

Many mixed-blood elves came to the Partington plane, and the first thing they did was to find a job for themselves.

Half-blood elves come all the way to the Partington plane. Almost all of them have heard that the Partington plane is rich in magical herbs. Many mixed-blood elves have made money in the Partington plane, so everyone also wants to come to the Partington plane. Try your luck...

The job they most want to do is to follow the collection team into the depths of Partington's plane to collect magic herbs, but this kind of job is not easy to find.

So some mixed-blood elves will come to the airport terminal to find something to do.

They were waiting on the street outside the airport terminal. Whenever a magic airship docked in front of the platform of the airport terminal, mixed-blood elves would come out of the airport terminal, and then select some mixed-blood elves to enter the airport terminal to carry the magic airship. goods.

These mixed-blood elves are very generous and pay very readily. Many mixed-blood elves are willing to work for them.

When they have nothing to do, these half-blood elves hang out on the streets.

Several mixed-blood elves gathered on the steps outside the magic fountain on the street and whispered:

"Have you heard that Captain Berkeley and Boss Roy had a quarrel at the military headquarters? Boss Roy wanted to waive the portal usage fees for the mixed elves, but Captain Berkeley did not agree. This time the two of them completely fell out. "The young mixed-blood elf spoke urgently and quickly, with some slang in his tone.

"We won't leave the Partington plane, so naturally we won't use the teleportation gate. What does the price of the teleportation ticket have to do with us!" The person who said these words was a strong mixed-blood elf.

The young mixed-blood elf pulled his sleeve and continued to mutter:

"Don't think about it. If the teleportation tickets are free, we can freely enter and exit the Partington plane. If we transport some goods back and sell them, we should make a lot of money!"

These mixed-blood elves are all baggage carriers at the airport terminal. Magic airships usually dock at the airport terminal in the morning. No magic airship has arrived at the airport terminal today. They waited at the entrance of the terminal all morning and had something to eat at noon. Just run to the magic fountain to rest.

Another mixed-blood elf said: "I have never thought about this. Silver Moon elves will not buy our things, and mixed-blood elves cannot afford our things. Who do you think we can sell our goods to?"

"Well... what you said makes sense." The young mixed-blood elf smiled. "I heard that Boss Roy is currently calling on mixed elves to move to Plateau City. Should we try our luck there?"

The strong mixed-blood elf asked curiously: "Seriously...what's it like over there on the Pajisto Plateau?"

"The resources of magic herbs are relatively scarce there. Although the plateau city is close to the wilderness, it is definitely not a good choice to collect magic herbs there..."

Although the voices of several mixed elves talking beside the magic fountain were not loud, their words were just heard by the two elven girls standing opposite the magic fountain.

Leah and Alice came to Padstow City for the first time. When they were in the Dark Land, they had never seen such a large elf city...

In the green sea, countless tree houses cover the entire mountain. A tall tree of life covers half of the mountain, like a giant umbrella stuck on the top of the mountain. The scene is very spectacular.

Leah was wearing a light leather vest and bloomers, and her face was covered with a scarf. Only a pair of very cute dark pointed ears were exposed. The dazzling sunlight made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she still pulled Alice around happily. .

Alice stood in front of the magic fountain, and her eyes were attracted by a colorful rainbow in front of the fountain...

She looked up at the towering tree across the street, which was the airport terminal of Padstow City. Eight magic airships were docked next to the platform.

This towering giant tree has broken away from the coverage of the Tree of Life in Padstow City, and is considered a beautiful tree on this hillside...

The mixed-race elves all over the street gave Alice an indescribable sense of security.

This place is countless times better than Elise’s camp.

"Alice, should we go to the plateau city to see it?" Leah whispered to her sister Alice.

"If you have a chance, go and take a look."

Alice replied with a smile.

While the two mixed-blood elf girls were talking, they left this small crossroads. There were some mixed-blood elf collectors selling elementary magic herbs on the street. However, whenever silver moon elf merchants approached, these mixed-blood elf collectors The person will quickly put the magic herbs into the bamboo basket without talking to the Silver Moon Elf merchant at all.

This kind of buyer selection rarely happens in Elise Camp. The population there is sparse, and it is not easy to reach a deal. The witchers there don't care whether the buyer is an elf, a human, or dwarf.

Leah was very curious as to why these stall owners would reject those Silver Moon Elf merchants who seemed to be very honorable when selling their goods.

She pulled her sister Alice to stop in front of a stall. The stall owner didn't even look at Leah's face. He just glanced at the dark pointed ears and said to Leah with a smile:

"Want to buy some magic herbs? These magic herbs are collected from the Blackwater Swamp. If necessary, we can sell them to you at a cheaper price!"

"Would you be very angry if I bought these magic herbs and sold them to him?"

Leah said with a smile as she piled in front of the stall.

"If you really want to do that, you'd better not let me see it, otherwise I won't even be able to sell you a blade of grass in the future." The mixed-blood elf stall owner also said in a joking tone.

"Why are you talking to a little girl like this! Even if she sells your magic herbs to the Silver Moon Elf merchant, she has no choice but to do so. Anyway, you will have returned to the Blackwater Swamp by then. Besides, Boss Roy is not calling for Do we want half-blood elves and silver moon elves to be treated equally?"

A mixed-blood elf stall owner nearby took the opportunity to interject and said that when he saw the Silver Moon Elf merchant walking away, he quickly placed his magic herbs on the stall again.

"Hey...you guy, you're talking like you wouldn't do that!"

The two mixed-blood elf stall owners seemed to have a good relationship, and they actually stood together and started bickering.

Leah covered her mouth and pulled Alice to go somewhere else.

The mixed-blood elf stall owner was still chasing after him and shouting:

"I have other good products here. If you want to buy magic herbs, come to me..."

…

When the sisters returned to the hotel, they found that Roy had come back.

Leah stood at the door, looked at Roy who was looking through the account books, and said, "I heard on the street today that you had a quarrel with your immediate boss. Judging from your appearance now, it seems that you didn't take that matter seriously. Take it to heart!”

"Um? We had a quarrel, but there's no need to show it on our faces! Are you taking to the streets? How do you feel about Padstow City?" Roy raised his head and asked Leah.

"This place looks more natural than Castleton City, and the streets and alleys here are full of mixed-blood elves. They are not like the demon hunters in the dark land. They will show hostility to everyone they see and put on a show. "Looking cautious," Leah said casually.

In fact, when Leah and Alice went out in the morning, Roy was a little worried about them.

But after thinking about it, the sisters can live well in the dark place, and it will be even more fine in Padstow...

"Roy, is every elf city like this?" Leah asked Roy.

"Well, the cities on the Elf Continent are almost all like Castletown. Padstow City only exists on the Partington plane, and this is the only city here." Roy explained.

"I heard from the elves on the street that there is a plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau!" Leah curled her lips and said.

"The City of Plateau is not really an elf city. To put it nicely, it is a city. To put it poorly, it is a...concentration camp where war criminals are imprisoned. The City of Plateau currently holds 12,000 people. They are plateau headhunters. They are the natives of the Pagisto Plateau. They killed countless mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau. Now those headhunters have been punished by us. The surrendered headhunters are all imprisoned on the plateau. city."

Roy explained to Leah.

The reason why he said so much was that he hoped Roy could understand this place as soon as possible.

"I also heard they like to call you Boss Roy."

Roy laughed after hearing this and said: "It's actually right that they call me that. I have many businesses in the Partington plane. I am the largest mine owner here and I often sell magic metals. I also make magic herbal medicines. My business... Well, let’s put it this way, even the dried fish sold on the streets may be mine.”

Leah asked Roy: "Then when will we go to Plateau City to see it?"

"Wait a few more days, when I finish my work here, I will take you to the Plateau City, and then take a walk around the Sun Island Bay." Roy made a promise readily.

After Roy finished speaking, he closed the account book in his hand and walked out of the wooden house.

"Do you want to go to the manor in the suburbs with me?" Roy asked Leah who was standing at the door.

"Okay..."

Before Leah finished her words, she was pulled by Alice behind her.

Alice interrupted Leah directly:

"Liya, we have been walking for a day, let's take a break!"

"Uh, but I want to go to the manor..." Leah said to Alice.

Alice didn't argue with Leah at all, and directly stretched out her hand to pull Leah back to their wooden house...

"Oh, let go, I can walk by myself!"

...

Roy looked at the two sisters walking back to the wooden house, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

He put the account book in his hand into his magic waist bag. He didn't expect that in just one year, the mine and primary magic herb business on the Padstow Plateau would accumulate such a large amount of wealth for him.

This wealth not only supported the expenses of building the Plateau City, but also had a large surplus...

Roy did not leave for the Plateau City immediately. In addition to checking the accounts at the material warehouse, he was also trying to find a way to send out 3,000 human priests.

He walked to the door of the hotel and got into a carriage directly.

Deputy Captain Tennyson was already sitting in the carriage. The two did not say anything in the carriage. When Tennyson saw Roy sitting down, he stretched out his hand and pulled the rope, and the bell in front of the carriage immediately rang.

The coachman immediately raised the whip in his hand, and with a crisp whip sound, the carriage immediately started.

"Boss, how do you plan to arrange those human priests? There is no way to hide for too long in Padstow City..." Deputy Captain Tennyson asked in a low voice.

"They are priests of the Statue of Liberty of the Green Empire. I plan to help them contact the Empire merchants to see if their merchant ships can send them back to Roland Continent." Roy said his plan.

"Uh, boss, you made such a big deal just to send them back to Roland Continent?"

Tennyson was a little dumbfounded. He thought Roy wanted to form a dark force outside the assassin group, but he didn't expect Roy just wanted to send these human priests away...

"Of course, otherwise what's the point of leaving them here? Without the holy light of the Statue of Liberty, they can't even cast divine spells."

Roy said casually.
