Path of Light.

Chapter 534 535. The Rise of Padstow City
As soon as Roy left the lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters, the Silver Moon female elves at the front desk immediately started talking.

My colleague asked the sweet-smiling Silver Moon Elf receptionist:

"Was that Boss Roy just now?"

"That's the one!" the receptionist responded sweetly.

The colleague standing next to her widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Oh my God, he seemed to have heard everything the three investigators said in the rest area just now. Didn't those three go to Pagisto Plateau to investigate him?"

The female receptionist muttered bluntly: "Just investigate it. Is Boss Roy afraid of this?"

The colleague stared at the receptionist and asked suspiciously, "You...are you on Boss Roy's side?"

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist showed an admiring look on her face and said with a smile:
"Of course! He led the half-blood elves to defeat the headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau and captured a large number of mine owners who were engaged in slave trading. What's wrong with that? What's there to investigate? Do we have to conduct a special investigation just because the deceased mine owner is a descendant of a Silver Moon Elf noble?"

Her colleagues also echoed her: "In my opinion, someone must have reported it..."

"It must be!"

Roy, who had already left the military headquarters in a carriage, naturally had no idea that there were still many of his supporters in the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters.

……

In recent times, the city of Padstow has been overcrowded. Every day, a large number of half-elves moving from the Elf Continent enter the city of Padstow through the teleporters on Partington Island.

This forest city has shown signs of expanding outward since a month ago.

By now, many carpenters have begun building elf tree houses on the tall oak trees on the edge of the city.

Moira, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany, and Woods came to the central square in a carriage. They originally planned to stroll around the city of Padstow and then arrive at Partington Island first to see the progress of the transformation of the magic airship there.

But the city of Padstow is now like a crowded can of sardines. The streets are full of half-elves, and there are long queues outside any cold drink shop.

The four of them had no intention of wandering around Padstow any longer, so they prepared to go through the portal in the central square to Partington Island to enjoy the sunshine, beach, sea breeze, and blue sky of the island...

But when they got off the carriage, they saw a long line in the central square.

The half-elves who passed through the portal formed a long queue, which even turned several corners in the central square.

The half-elves all looked tired, seemingly exhausted from the long journey. Although they had arrived at the city of Padstow, this city might not actually be the end of their journey.

There are simply too many half-blood elves in the city.

This forest city simply cannot accommodate so many half-blood elves for the time being. If these half-blood elves stay in the city, they will not be able to find anything to do...

Although due to the booming business of magical herbs, opportunities are everywhere in Padstow.

But there are so many half-blood elves coming here in search of opportunities. Everyone knows that Padstow is the gathering place of half-blood elves, so they want to come here to take a look.

The whole city was filled with crowds of people.

There are half-elf warriors in the square who are responsible for clearing the passageway...

These half-elves who had just entered the Partington plane saw a group of half-elf warriors wearing standard armor, standing majestically in the central square. Their hearts immediately became excited and everyone was full of curiosity about this forest city.

There is currently no army of half-elves on the Elf Continent, and half-elves can rarely form a regular army.

Therefore, when everyone saw the half-blood elves wearing standard military uniforms, they felt an extraordinary sense of identity with this city from the bottom of their hearts...

The Partington plane thus welcomed the largest wave of immigrants in decades.

"How long will it take? And currently the route to Padstow City is from Partington Island. If we want to go to Partington Island, we will have to wait for a while at least!"

Miss Tiffany took out a water bag, poured the clean water in the bag on her head, and said a little irritably.

If she hadn't been accompanying Moira, she would have been sunbathing on the beach on the north coast of Sun Island Bay.

Woods squinted his eyes and looked at the crowded central square, and said hesitantly:

"How about we ask about the time first, and then go back to find Roy. He is an officer of the Silver Pegasus Corps and has the right to pass through the portal first..."

At this time, Moira, who was standing next to her sister, gently pulled LS Brianna's sleeve and whispered, "Sabrina, I saw that there seemed to be a few neighbors from Brown Street in the team over there. They actually came to the Partington plane as well."

Sabrina stands out among a group of half-elves. Her tall figure, fair skin and beautiful face attract a lot of attention.

Moira always likes to hide in the shadows behind her. Although she is also very sweet, the elves always ignore her. "Of course, who doesn't want to come to Partington to pan for gold now?" Woods is the only man in the team, so he is naturally responsible for the safety of the entire team, even if he is not the strongest fighter in the team.

"Gold panning?" Moira was unfamiliar with the phrase.

Woods laughed and said, "I also heard what Roy said. He compared collecting magic herbs here to making money like digging for gold. I heard that in the black swamp of Partington, the primary magic herbs are as numerous as weeds..."

Miss Tiffany sneered and retorted, "This rumor is a bit exaggerated!"

Woods smiled and said: "The point is not exaggeration, the point is that many half-blood elves believe it!"

"No way……"

Miss Tiffany frowned and muttered something.

Moira shook her sister's arm and asked softly, "What should we do? Should we leave first?"

Sabrina raised her eyebrows. There were too many half-elves gathered in the square, and the surrounding environment was a bit noisy. After they got off the carriage, they had already followed the crowd for a while. If they wanted to leave now, they would have to walk in the opposite direction, which would be a bit troublesome.

"Since you're all here, why not just line up here!"

Sabrina said casually.

After hearing Sabrina say this, the four of them stood obediently in the long line.

Some half-elf guards stood in the isolated area, maintaining the rules in the square...

……

In the material warehouse, Rambo placed a thick stack of invitations on the desk in front of Roy and said to him:

"Look, I have received many invitations from trading companies recently. They know that we are engaged in the trade of primary magic herbs, so the invitations that they can send here are all for the purchase of magic metals."

Roy flipped through the invitation letter and asked in confusion, "Why? Is the trade in magic metals so hot now?"

"With so many merchant groups entering the Partington plane, at least half of them cannot buy magic herbs. They can't go back empty-handed. Although the profit from magic metals is a little smaller, at least they can make back some of their capital..." Rambo sat opposite Roy and pushed a plate of berries in front of him.

This kind of berry is produced in the Elf Continent, and it is not too cheap there. I didn't expect that Rambo actually knows how to enjoy it.

Roy picked one and put it in his mouth, tapped the table with his fingers and said:

"I'll leave these things to you. I can't ask about everything. Right now in the magic metal market, only Mithril ingots are rising in price. I'll stockpile some of them for now. I'm going to sell them to those Green Empire merchants. They can afford a high price. You can negotiate with them about other magic metals. As long as you reach the transaction price, you can sell them!"

"Since you said so, starting from tomorrow, I will visit each of the addresses on these invitation letters one by one." Langbo seemed very positive about metal trading.

Roy continued, "That's it. But you have to help me get back 1,500 boxes of fruit today. I need them to be delivered to the airport terminal before tomorrow evening. The day after tomorrow morning, this magic airship will set sail for the Plateau City."

"So urgent?" asked Rambo.

Roy nodded and whispered, "This batch of food will be sent to the ancestral land of Gazan in the north of the plateau."

"Where is Captain Helick?" Rambo asked in a low voice, covering his mouth with his hands.

Roy nodded calmly.

Although Captain Helic led the half-elf rebels to occupy the ancestral land of Gazan, which is also an evergreen hot spring valley, there is very little food available for the elves.

There are currently only two ways to obtain the food these half-elf warriors need every day. One is to search around the Hot Spring Valley, and the other is to rely on Roy's supply.

Previously, Roy had been supplying Captain Helic with elf biscuits. Not only were they easy to transport, but one meal could sustain the half-elf warriors for seven days...

But now with the convenience of the magic airship, Roy planned to transport a batch of fruits to Captain Helike. Transporting these supplies by magic airship could further reduce the transportation pressure on Leishande's caravan.

"Then I'll go prepare..."

Rambo's legs are always faster than his mouth.

"Then I'll go to Partington Island's magic airship modification workshop to check it out. See you tomorrow night!"

Roy didn't plan to stay here, so he said to Rambo.
