Path of Light.

Chapter 550 551. Outstanding Student

Woods wandered in the snow-capped mountains in the north of the plateau for more than half a month. He followed the footsteps of the half-elf collector. Although he did not find a second new winter thorn grass, he discovered that this place did have the climatic conditions for nurturing winter thorn grass.

He searched for a long time on the snowy mountain, but unfortunately he did not find any winter thorn grass. Instead, he encountered several snow monsters.

Fortunately, he is a Druid of the Claw, and he can transform into an Earth Bear and escape in critical moments.

If school wasn't about to start, Woods would even want to continue searching in the snowy mountains.

After being ground and refined, Winterthorn Grass can be used to make Level 5 magic scrolls. This high-level magic herb is highly sought after by magicians and is considered a rare treasure.

……

Several members of the Zakarum Adventure Group gathered at the northwest corner of the central square of Padstow City. They had finished their journey to the Partington Plane, but they were still somewhat reluctant to leave. This vacation was too short...

Because of Roy, the members of the Zakarum Adventure Group didn't even have a decent adventure trip during this holiday.

Sabrina worked as a junior martial arts instructor in Plateau City for nearly a month.

As an instructor, Sabrina needs to break down all the basic martial arts moves. After breaking down those moves that had already formed her memory, Sabrina seems to have some new insights.

Originally, she couldn't quite understand some of Moira's thoughts when she was learning martial arts.

Now Sabrina finally understood why Jefferson said Moira was a natural assassin.

It turns out that talent is hidden in every elf's body. Sometimes, it is really not something that can be made up by hard work...

……

For Miss Tiffany, this trip to the Partington plane was not an experience at all.

Although she had seen Sun Island Bay and met the interesting mermaid Jie Zena, she did not want to recall the time she spent in Sun Island Bay.

The only thing Miss Tiffany gained was the scene of killing the sea beast priest in the Sun Island Bay. She still feels excited when she recalls it now...

Several members of the Zakarum Adventure Group stood in the square with different feelings.

Moira thought she was going to say goodbye to Roy, so she hooked her arms around Roy's neck and clung to him like a koala, refusing to let go.

With her innocent smile and coquettish look, Roy could only hold her light body back and whispered to her:
"Everyone is watching, come down quickly!"

Roy had endless things to deal with every day in the plateau city. During the nearly two-month vacation, he only spent a few days with Moira.

Not only was Roy responsible for supervising the construction of a port terminal in Sun Island Bay, he also planned to build a lighthouse on the ruined Sun Island.

In addition, the reconstruction of the abandoned mines in the Pagisto Plateau is also being prepared, mainly the mines in the Nicobar Mountains. Roy is worried that if he does not actively rebuild his side, the Silver Pegasus military may send some mine owners over.

In fact, the Silver Pegasus Legion had never thought that there would be so many mineral veins and mines on the plateau of the Partington plane...

At present, the profits brought to Roy by the mine on the Pagisto Plateau have not only allowed him to form a large mine guard group, but also allowed him to build a city on the Pagisto Plateau.

This plateau city is what shocked the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus Army the most...

The top leaders of the Silver Pegasus Corps had no idea that Roy's most profitable business was actually the trade of primary magic herbs with imperial merchants.

Speaking of which, Roy built the Plateau City on the Pagisto Plateau. In fact, Roy only invested a sum of magic crystals in the early preparations, and then he regularly transported daily necessities and food to the Plateau City...

He actually didn't spend much money.

The main building material for this city is hollow bricks made from slag flowing out of the magic furnace. These hollow bricks come from three black iron mines in the Jiaxi Mountains. The steel bars needed for the main buildings in the city come from the forging workshops in the Jiaxi Mountains.

The construction of this plateau city was the result of the hard work of twelve thousand plateau headhunter prisoners of war.

The investment that really cost Roy a large sum of money was the renovation of eleven magic airships.

In order to closely connect Padstow with the Plateau City, Roy invested a huge amount of money to transform eleven magic airships. For Roy, this was a considerable expense.

In addition, Roy launched a war against the fishmen of Sun Island, and the daily expenses of the Mine Guards stationed in Sun Island Bay were also very high. However, in the end, the Mine Guards captured Sun Island Bay, and all the efforts were worth it.

Currently, the territory occupied by the Silver Moon Elves in the Partington plane is about three times larger than it was five years ago.

At the same time, the mine guard regiment has now expanded to 11,000 elven warriors.

The main force is the mine guard regiment composed of half-elf warriors. There are nearly 9,000 half-elf warriors in this guard regiment.

The Griffin Cavalry has about a thousand Griffins, and the Darkmoon Elf Assassins also have a thousand Darkmoon Elf Warriors...

The half-elf warriors of the mine guards are equivalent to the Silver Moon elven warriors of the Silver Pegasus Legion's Infantry Guards.

Roy felt that the combat power of these half-elf warriors might be a little stronger.

The Griffin Cavalry could be considered a poor version of the Silver Pegasus Knights, allowing Roy to have air superiority over the Pagisto Plateau.

These data were transmitted to the headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion, forcing the top leaders of the Silver Pegasus Legion to admit that Roy's development on the Pagisto Plateau was too fast...

It just so happened that Roy was a young officer promoted by Earl Swinburne himself. Although the senior officials of the Silver Pegasus Legion were somewhat wary of him, they could not suppress him openly.

Among the younger generation of officers, Roy's performance was extremely outstanding, especially in the Battle of Sun Island, where he defeated the gray dwarf bandits in both island defense battles.

I have to say that Earl Swinburne's vision is really unique...

……

"I'll go back to Castletown with you!"

Roy said to Moira with a smile.

Moira's eyes immediately curved into crescents and she couldn't help but cheer.

Roy appeared in the central square of Padstow City. Naturally, he did not need to queue up to enter the portal. A group of gate guards formed a human wall to allow Roy and his party to pass through the portal first, and then allowed the portal to be opened normally.

Many elves at the portal looked at Roy and his group curiously. Some curious elves asked in a low voice, "Who are they?"

"It must be the military! The one walking in the front should be Boss Roy. He is the only one who looks like a human!" An elf merchant behind introduced.

"He is Boss Roy. He looks a little different from the rumors!" the elf exclaimed.

"The rumors are nothing but hearsay..." Roy led everyone back to Partington Island. In the past, everyone took the Silver Pegasus Legion's supply ship back to Castletown City. This time, Roy did not go to the island pier, but went directly back to the sheltered fjord and dispatched a three-masted sailing ship in the fjord to Castletown Harbor.

The three-masted sailing ship was carrying a large number of primary magic herbs and magic metal ingots, which was the main reason why Roy decided to sail the three-masted sailing ship back to Castletown Port.

When the three-masted sailing ship was about to arrive at Castletown Harbor, it encountered several imperial merchant ships anchored in the sea area. A group of human sailors gathered on the deck, and when they saw a ship passing by, they stood beside the side and peeked curiously.

These imperial merchants have never handed over the assassin who disrupted the public order in Castletown, which has directly resulted in all imperial merchant ships being unable to dock. Unexpectedly, after so long, both sides have no intention of compromising.

Among these imperial merchant ships, Roy quickly found the merchant ship of the imperial merchant Darwin.

He asked the captain of the three-masted sailing ship to slow down and then slowly approach the merchant ship.

Roy stood on the head of the bronze argali at the bow, and soon the imperial merchant Darwin also appeared at the bow.

The two ships were not completely close to each other, but they were very close. The surging waves made the gap between the two ships fluctuate. The crew set up a sampan between the two ships.

Roy was the first to walk onto the merchant ship opposite. This imperial merchant ship was nearly twice as long as his three-masted sailing ship.

There was a crane with a pulley on the deck of the imperial merchant ship. Roy had a brief conversation with the imperial merchant Darwin, and Darwin ordered the sailors on the merchant ship to operate the crane on the deck to transport the magic metals and magic herbs from the three-masted sailing ship to the ship here.

Darwin was naturally overjoyed to see that the lifting of the ban on Partington Island would not affect Roy...

The crane moved boxes of magic metals onto the deck, and special crew members were on the deck inspecting the magic metals in these wooden boxes.

Imperial merchant Darwin invited Roy to the captain's room.

"Boss Roy, you see, our imperial merchant ships have been unable to dock. The Castletown Harbor Security Guard has asked us to hand over the assassins, but the captains are unwilling to do so. Now that group of people have left here with the merchant ships, we can't just waste time here. Can you help us and ask the port security guard for mercy..."

Darwin, the imperial merchant, said it very tactfully. In fact, the main reason why he couldn't say it was that Roy was the victim of this incident...

The smile on Roy's face disappeared, and he responded:
"I can't help you with that."

Darwin showed a helpless expression of "as expected" on his face, and then said:
"Then can you provide us with some daily necessities, fruits, and elf cookies? After the security guards drove us away from the port, these kinds of things became difficult to buy."

"That's no problem. I have some on my ship. I'll have the crew bring them to you later. But I'm a half-elf who holds grudges. Don't give these daily necessities and food to the merchants who once caused trouble for me. If I hear about this, there will be no follow-up to our business."

Roy whispered to Darwin.

Darwin, the imperial merchant, forced a smile and responded, "Definitely not, definitely not!"

After completing the transaction, the three-masted sailing ship left the sea area and slowly sailed into Castletown Harbor.

……

The opening season of Castletown Elf Academy is still very lively.

Roy heard that Claire, as the main person in charge, was welcoming new students in the teaching building of the Elf Academy.

It just so happened that Moira, Sabrina, Woods, and Miss Tiffany all had some classes this semester and were going to register at the Elf Academy.

So I followed everyone to the Elf Academy.

Moira dragged Miss Tiffany and Sabrina to go and register, and Woods disappeared as soon as he turned around.

There are many new elf students in the academy, and everyone is choosing their favorite courses.

Roy also wandered among the crowd, and couldn't help but think of the time when he selected classes at the Elf Academy. It seemed like it was a long time ago...

He saw Claire from a distance, but unfortunately she was surrounded by hundreds of elf students. Even if Roy wanted to squeeze through, he couldn't do it at the moment.

There were too many elf students registering for classes in the hall, and Roy couldn't say hello to Claire over there, so he simply walked out of the first floor hall of the teaching building and stood next to a low shrub wall at the entrance of the teaching building to take a breath.

"Roy?" A familiar voice sounded behind him.

Roy turned his head and saw Miss Edith wearing a suit of silver armor with an exquisite elven sword hanging on her waist. She was standing behind him prettily and looking at him with a smile.

"It's you. How come you have time to come to the Elf Academy? Are classes going to resume this semester?" Miss Edith asked curiously.

Miss Edith has now become the captain of Princess Ophelia's guard, and has already successfully graduated from the Elf Academy.

"No, I'm here to see Claire!" Roy said, "Miss Edith, why are you in the Elf Academy?"

"Princess Ophelia must teach the modern history of the Silver Moon Elves at the Elf Academy, so I will also serve as the swordsmanship instructor of the Elf Academy. I want to go and see if there are any students who will choose my class..." Miss Edith said with a smile.

There was a very secluded corner of the low shrub wall against the wall of the teaching building. Miss Edith pointed to the bench in the corner and said:
"Long time no see, do you want to sit over there?"

Roy nodded.

Although he didn't have much contact with Miss Edith, he would visit Miss Edith's grandmother, Count Amelia Ellington, whenever he had time.

Miss Edith looked at Roy with great interest, and said cheerfully:

"Roy, do you know that you are now one of the three most outstanding students in the Castletown Elf Academy in the past ten years?"

Roy was somewhat surprised when he became the most outstanding student in the Elf Academy, but he himself had no idea.

"Who else besides me?" Roy asked.

"The other one is your good friend Wagner Clare. He is the youngest musician in Castletown and even more famous than you..." said Miss Edith.

"What about the other one?" Roy asked again.

"Senior Ursula has the purest heart. She was recognized by the unicorns when she was studying at the Elf Academy. After graduating from the Elf Academy, she joined the Unicorn Army."

"..."

Miss Edith looked at Roy curiously, as if she wanted to see through him.

"I don't quite understand how Princess Ophelia remembered you. She seems to have a special feeling for you. Her Highness asked me to tell you that you must get along well with Christine. Right now in Castletown, Christine is the only one who can help you!"

When Miss Edith said these words, her lips were almost touching Roy's ears, and her voice was so soft that Roy could only barely hear it...
