Path of Light.

Chapter 678 679. Roy's Plan

Everyone in the Silver Pegasus military was talking about one thing: Chief Berkeley and Captain Roy had a quarrel in the office, and Chief Berkeley even smashed his favorite teacup to pieces...

Captain Roy plans to gain more benefits for the half-blood elves, such as reducing personal travel fees when passing through the Partington portal, and reducing 30% of the tariffs on the goods they carry.

Captain Berkeley certainly could not agree to Captain Roy's unreasonable request. Not only did he not agree to Captain Roy's application, he also implemented a higher level of security for the Silver Moon Elves in Padstow, such as increasing the number of patrols in the Silver Moon Elves' living area.

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

……

Recently, magic airships loaded with cargo have been docking at the Padstow Airport Terminal every day. In addition to metal ingots and magic herbs shipped from the Padstow Plateau, there are also dried fish and ice-fresh sea fish shipped from the Sun Island Bay.

There are nearly one million half-elves living in the city of Padstow. Of course, it is impossible for such a large number of half-elves to eat only fruits every day. They also prefer to eat fish.

Since fish shipped from Partington Island are subject to customs duties, generally speaking, few elves would transport fish from Partington Island to Padstow City.

Therefore, fish from Sunny Isles Bay has now taken over the market in Padstow...

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

Currently, the airport terminal is the most lively place in the city of Padstow. Every day, a large number of half-elves flock to the airport terminal to find work to do.

In recent months, with the influx of half-elves into the Partington plane, the city of Padstow has expanded rapidly.

There are too many half-elves in the city recently, and the city’s human resources are seriously oversupplied. Currently, the gatherers have formed small groups. They are going to the depths of the Blackwater Swamp to look for magical herbs, so these gathering teams are more exclusive to novices.

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

The half-blood elves came all the way to Partington because they heard that Partington was rich in magical herbs and many half-blood elves had made money there, so they also wanted to try their luck there...

The job they wanted to do most was to follow the gathering team into the depths of Partington's plane to gather magical herbs, but this kind of job was not easy to find.

So some half-elves would come to the airport terminal to find work.

They were waiting on the street outside the airport terminal. Every time a magic airship docked in front of the platform of the airport terminal, half-elves would come out of the airport terminal, and then some half-elves would be selected to enter the airport terminal to move the cargo on the magic airship.

These half-blood elves are very generous and pay quickly, and many half-blood elves are willing to work for them.

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

Several half-blood elves gathered on the steps outside the magic fountain on the street, whispering:

"Have you heard? Captain Berkeley and Boss Roy had a quarrel in the military headquarters. Boss Roy wanted to exempt the half-blood elves from the portal usage fee, but Captain Berkeley did not agree. The two of them have completely fallen out this time." The young half-blood elf spoke quickly and hastily, with slang from somewhere in his tone.

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

The young half-blood elf pulled his sleeve and continued to mutter:
"Don't you think about it? If the teleportation tickets are really free, we can enter and exit the Partington plane freely. If we then transport some goods back and sell them, it should be very profitable!"

These half-elves were all porters at the airport terminal. Magic airships usually docked at the airport terminal in the morning. Today, no magic airship had arrived at the airport terminal. They waited at the terminal gate for the whole morning, ate something at noon, and then ran to the magic fountain to rest.

Another half-blood elf said, "I haven't thought about this. The Silver Moon elves won't buy our goods, and the half-blood elves can't afford our goods. Who do you think we can sell our goods to?"

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

The sturdy half-elf asked curiously, "Seriously...what is it like over there on the Pagisto Plateau?"

"The magical herbs there are scarce. Although the Plateau City is next to the wilderness, it is definitely not a good choice to go there to collect magical herbs..."

Although the voices of the half-elves talking beside the magic fountain were not loud, they were heard by the two elf girls standing opposite the magic fountain.

This was the first time Leah and Alice came to Padstow. When they were in the Dark Land, they had never seen such a large elven 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 inserted on the top of the mountain. The scene is very spectacular.

Leia was wearing a light leather vest and bloomers, with her face covered by a headscarf, revealing only a pair of very cute dark pointed ears. The glaring sunlight made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she was still very excited and took Alice around.

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

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

This towering tree has already left the coverage of the Tree of Life in Padstow City, and it is also a beautiful tree on this hillside...

The streets full of half-blood elves gave Alice an indescribable sense of security.

This place is so much better than Iris Camp.

"Alice, should we go to the Plateau City to take a look?" Leah whispered to her sister Alice.

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

Alice replied with a smile.

While the two half-elf girls were talking, they left the small crossroads. There were some half-elf collectors selling primary magic herbs on the street, but whenever the Silver Moon Elf merchants approached, these half-elf collectors would quickly put the magic herbs into bamboo baskets and would not talk to the Silver Moon Elf merchants at all.

This kind of situation of selecting buyers rarely happens in Iris Camp. The population there is sparse, and it is not easy to reach a deal. The demon hunters there don't care whether the buyers are elves, humans, or dwarves.

Leah was very curious as to why these stall owners would refuse those very impressive-looking Silvermoon Elf merchants when selling their goods.

She pulled her sister Alice to a stall and stopped. 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:

"Would you like to buy some magic herbs? These magic herbs are all picked from the Blackwater Swamp. If you need them, I can sell them to you at a lower price!"

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

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

"If you really want to do that, you'd better not let me see it, otherwise I won't sell you even a blade of grass in the future." The half-blood elf stall owner also said in a joking tone. "Why are you talking to a little girl like that! Even if she sells your magic herbs to the Silver Moon Elf merchant, she has no choice but to do so. Anyway, you will return to the Blackwater Swamp by then. Besides, didn't Boss Roy call on us to treat half-blood elves and Silver Moon elves equally?"

A half-elf stall owner nearby took the opportunity to interject that when he saw the Silver Moon Elf merchant walking away, he quickly put his magic herbs back on the stall.

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

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

Leah covered her mouth and pulled Alice to another place.

The half-blood elf stall owner was still chasing after him, shouting:
"I have other good stuff here. If you want to buy some magic herbs, come find me..."

……

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

Leah stood at the door, looking at Roy who was flipping through the account book, and said, "I heard people on the street today that you had a quarrel with your boss. From the look of you now, it seems that you don't take it to heart!"

"Huh? We did have a fight, but there's no need to show it on your face! Did you go out on the streets? What do you think of Padstow?" Roy looked up and asked Leah.

"This place looks more natural than Castleton City, and the streets and alleys here are full of half-elves. They are not like the demon hunters in the dark land who show hostility to everyone they see and act cautiously and alertly." Leah said casually.

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

But then I thought, the two sisters can live well in the dark land, so they will have no problem in Padstow...

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

"Well, the cities on the Elven Continent are almost all like Castletown. Padstow is only found on the Partington plane, and there is only one city like this here." Roy explained.

"I heard from the elves on the street that there is a plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau!" Leah said with a pout.

"The Plateau City is not really an elven city. To put it nicely, it is a city. To put it bluntly, it is a concentration camp for war criminals. The Plateau City currently holds 12,000 headhunters from the plateau. They are the natives of the Pagisto Plateau and have killed countless half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau. Now we have dealt with those headhunters and the surrendered headhunters are all imprisoned in 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 that they like to call you Boss Roy."

Roy laughed and said, "It's not wrong for them to call me that. I have many businesses in the Partington plane. I'm the largest mine owner here and often sell magic metals. I also do business in magic herbs... Well, let's put it this way, even the dried sea fish sold on the street may be mine."

Leah asked Roy, "When are we going to visit Plateau City?"

"Wait a few more days. When I finish my work here, I will take you to visit the Plateau City, and then take a trip to the Sun Island Bay." Roy promised readily.

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

"Would you like to come with me to visit the manor in the suburbs?" Roy asked Leah who was standing at the door.

"it is good……"

Before Leah could finish her words, she was grabbed by Alice behind her.

Alice interrupted Leah directly:

"Liya, we've been shopping all day, let's take a break!"

"Um, but I want to go and see the manor..." Leah said to Alice.

Alice didn't argue with Leah at all, she just reached out and pulled Leah back to their cabin...

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

……

Roy looked at the two sisters walking back to the cabin, smiled slightly, and said nothing 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 the primary magic herb business on the Pagisto Plateau would accumulate such a huge fortune for him.

This wealth not only supported the expenses of building the plateau city, but also left 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 the three thousand human priests.

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

Deputy Captain Tennyson was already sitting in the carriage. The two of them didn't say anything in the carriage. When Tennyson saw Roy sitting down, he reached out 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 sound of the whip, the carriage started moving immediately.

"Boss, what are you going to do with those human priests? We can't hide in Padstow City for too long..." 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 merchants of the Empire to see if their merchant ships can send them back to Roland Continent." Roy expressed his plan.

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

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

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

Roy said casually.
