Path of Light.

Chapter 685 686. Announcement
Roy wrote a notice in his own handwriting at his desk:
-

Citizens of all the Partington planes, I am Roy, the Governor of Pagisto Plateau.

I now formally invite you to come to the Pagisto Plateau and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Pagisto Plateau.

Today, the Pagisto Plateau where we live is almost completely occupied by plateau headhunters...

The brave Elf Guards went deep into the northern part of the Pagisto Plateau and defeated the plateau headhunters in the ancestral land, allowing us to possess this rich land.

The land here belongs to all the elves...

Whether you are a Silver Moon Elf, a Dark Moon Elf, a Wood Elf, or a Half-Blood Elf, when you come to the Pagisto Plateau, you all have the right to equality and freedom.

On the Pagisto Plateau, all elves are equal, because every elf's life deserves respect.

So I sincerely invite every elf in the Partington plane, welcome you to the Pagisto Plateau.

-

Putting down the charcoal pencil in his hand, Roy asked his adjutant to post the notice on the bulletin board in front of the gate of Plateau City.

In fact, the news of Roy's return to Plateau City had already spread to every corner of Plateau City. The elves in the entire Plateau City were talking about what new moves Boss Roy would make when he returned this time.

I didn't expect that he actually wrote a notice in his own handwriting.

Hearing that Roy had written a notice personally, many half-elves went to the notice board and read it over and over again.

The half-blood elves were very excited and everyone was discussing this announcement.

This announcement clearly listed the half-blood elves on the same level as the other three elves, which ignited the fire of hope that was suppressed in the hearts of countless half-blood elves.

Half-blood elves have always been excluded by the other three races of elves.

Lowly is their synonym. Some pure-blooded elves even call half-blooded elves bastards behind their backs...

The announcement Roy wrote was tantamount to announcing to all the elves:
On the Pagisto Plateau, all elves are equal, with no distinction between high and low...

……

In the prisoner-of-war concentration camp, a group of half-elf guards followed Roy, walking through the densely packed long rows of dormitories in the concentration camp.

Due to the continuous deployment of highland headhunters to the prisoner-of-war concentration camp, the number of prisoners held in the concentration camp, which was originally designed to accommodate only 12,000 prisoners, has now exceeded 16,000.

Although there are activity areas in the middle of these long rows of dormitories, they are now connected by some awnings, making them look like shanty towns in refugee camps.

Currently, there are less than 12,000 headhunter prisoners in the POW concentration camp who are able to engage in physical activities. Most of the headhunter prisoners are building roads outside the city and only return to the POW concentration camp to sleep at night.

There were still more than 4,000 headhunters, including young children and the elderly, left in the concentration camp.

When the weather is fine, these elderly headhunters will come out of their dormitories and sit under the walls of the long rows of dormitories to bask in the sun.

As for the group of headhunter children, they were running around everywhere in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp. The elf guards guarding the prisoner-of-war camp were very lenient in their management. As long as they didn't try to sneak out and didn't rashly rush up to the watchtower, they were very free in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp.

These children also have to learn Elvish every weekend, and those who pass the test will receive an extra piece of bison meat.

Roy frowned as he walked through the densely packed buildings. The concentration camp was filled with the body odor of plateau headhunters, and the living environment was far worse than Roy had expected.

Considering that soon, Captain Helike would have to transport the Plateau Headhunters to Plateau City, he said to Mu Lin behind him:
"The population density of the prisoner-of-war camp is too high. We need to clear out some prisoners and improve the environment here."

Mu Lin immediately wrote it down in his notebook.

"Since the dormitories in the current prisoner-of-war camp are seriously insufficient, I plan to rebuild a large prisoner-of-war camp on the north bank of the Tolai River. In the future, more elves will flock to the Plateau City, and this place will be transformed into a market."

Roy said to Mulin while standing by a pool in the prisoner-of-war camp.

He bent down, scooped up a handful of water from the pool, and checked the quality of the water.

The water supply system of the Plateau City is an independently constructed water supply pipeline, and the water intake point is located in the upper reaches of the Tolai River close to the Plateau City. This water supply system is similar to that of other elven cities. Basically, there are pools or fountains at large intersections and squares in the city.

There were four such pools in the prisoner-of-war camp, and they appear to be in relatively good condition.

Roy came to inspect the prisoner-of-war camp this time to check the current situation of the plateau headhunters in the prisoner-of-war camp. Just as Mulin said, the prisoner-of-war camp is already overcrowded, so Roy immediately decided to separate the prisoner-of-war camp from the plateau city and rebuild a prisoner-of-war camp on the north bank of the Tolai River.

Since the forge was still transporting hollow bricks to the Plateau City, it was not difficult to build a new prisoner-of-war camp on the north bank of the Tolai River.

In fact, Roy had already had this design plan in his plan for the Plateau City.

However, the population of Plateau City was not large at the time. Counting all the Plateau Headhunters as prisoners of war, the population of Plateau City did not even reach 30,000...

After several years of continuous development, the permanent population of the Plateau City is approaching 70,000, so it is entirely possible to move the prisoner-of-war camp out of the city.

After walking around the prisoner-of-war camp, Roy was about to leave when he heard a bell ringing from a shed not far away.

'duang^duang^duang……'

He stopped and turned around to see that the old headhunters who were basking in the sun under the wall had finally started to move.

The headhunter children also cheered and rushed into the shed.

A half-elf guard at the prisoner-of-war camp saw the curiosity in Roy's eyes and immediately explained:

"It's time for lunch."

"Let's go over and have a look."

Roy also wanted to learn about the cafeteria in the POW concentration camp.

I still remember when the prisoner-of-war camp was first established, in order to ensure that the plateau headhunters would have enough physical strength to lift stones, the camp provided broth every day, and there were also special hunting teams going to the wilderness to hunt bison.

He was really curious about what the cafeteria in the concentration camp looked like now.

When you walk into the pavilion, you will see a group of headhunters, big and small, queuing up for their meals.

The scene was very quiet, with a large crowd of people, and in the area where the food was distributed, there was actually smoke coming out of a few ovens at the back.

All the plateau headhunters were accustomed to this kind of scene. Several half-blood elves wearing linen aprons stood in front of a large pile of food.

"Line up. Today's lunch is meat soup and breadfruit scones, as well as fresh apples and dried fish. Be quiet! Be quiet. As long as you don't cause trouble for me, I'll have more time to find a variety of food for you."

Roy walked over to the cafeteria and saw that the awning was built fairly solidly, so he went straight to the place where food was distributed. When several half-elf cooks saw a group of half-elf guards surrounding a young human coming over, they immediately stopped talking nonsense and stood obediently behind the table full of food.

Not every half-elf has seen Roy, but all the half-elfs who have heard of Boss Roy's name know that he is a half-elf who looks like a human.

Surrounded by a group of half-elf guards and walking around freely in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp, these half-elf cooks immediately realized that the half-elf walking in the front of the team might be Boss Roy.

"Maybe it's Boss Roy..."

A half-elf cook whispered, reminding his companions.

Several elf cooks immediately stood up straight, looking at Roy with eyes full of admiration...

A large iron pot was filled with boiling broth with a layer of oil floating on top. As the broth rolled, several beef shank bones lay in the pot in all directions, and the rich aroma of beef wafted out.

Roy picked up another piece of baked breadfruit cake, put it under his nose and smelled it. It had the sweet smell of breadfruit.

Next to the oven, there were some breadfruit cakes ready to be put into the oven, and the quality was pretty good...

In addition to these, there was a pile of dried fish on a tray beside the table, and another tray full of green apples.

The food in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp was quite good, and these half-elves did not treat these headhunter prisoners harshly because of the previous war.

"Good job, guys."

Roy praised the group of half-elf cooks.

The half-elf guard following behind Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

When the half-elf cooks heard Roy's praise, their faces immediately turned red.

"Thank you for the compliment, Boss Roy, hehe..."

……

An announcement from Roy sparked a heated discussion in the Plateau City.

However, this announcement also allowed the half-elf collectors to lower their prejudices against the Silvermoon Elf merchants.

Originally, the half-elf gatherers only sold some inferior quality primary magic herbs to the Silvermoon Elf merchants. Now, these Silvermoon Elf merchants can finally bid fairly.

The Silver Moon Elf merchants in the Plateau City were also filled with emotion about this.

Business is good nowadays, but the status of the Silver Moon Elves seems to have declined.

How can a Silver Moon elf of noble blood be compared with a half-blood elf? It is simply ridiculous...

The meat that is delivered to your mouth must be eaten, but the status of the half-elves must still be trampled upon, as long as they are more restrained in the Partington plane.

The content of this announcement soon spread to the city of Padstow, and caused great controversy there. A group of Silvermoon Elf merchants stood up to protest, but those protests did not last long and disappeared again.

The main reason is that any Silvermoon Elf merchant who stands up to protest will almost never be able to continue doing business in Padstow.

A large number of half-blood elves living in the city of Padstow were cheering and thereafter there was a wave of travel to the Padstow Plateau.

The elves originally liked to travel freely. In just one month, because of Roy's announcement, nearly 100,000 half-elves came to the Plateau City via magic airships.

The entire magic airship's shipping has been in full swing, and tickets for the magic airship have even become hard to come by...

The already bustling plateau city was now crowded with the sudden influx of half-blood elves.

Compared with the city of Padstow, which is known as the Green Sea, the scenery here in the Plateau City looks more desolate, revealing the wildness of the land everywhere.

To the south of the plateau city is the endless wilderness, and to the north is the rolling snow-capped mountains of Jiaxi.

……

Miss Channing Sitney arrived at the Plateau City in a carriage. The streets were crowded with half-elves, and the convoy could only stop and go in the crowded streets.

This was not her first time to come to the Plateau City. The last time she came to the Plateau City, she was still surprised to see the Silver Moon Elf Merchant.

This time, when she saw the mixed-blood elves bustling about on the street, Miss Channing Sitney's eyes flickered with shock...

Following behind her was a long row of flatbed carriages loaded with mithril ingots.

In fact, she no longer needed to do the transportation of magic metals herself.

This time she came to the Plateau City specifically to discuss the reconstruction of the Nicobar Mountains mine.

Miss Channing is currently the manager of all the mines on the Pagista Plateau, and this matter may still be led by her.

The carriage stopped again, and the coachman had to tighten his reins to prevent the horse from kicking passers-by.

Reaching out her hand and pushing open the glass window on the carriage, Miss Channing looked out curiously, with countless novelties flashing in her eyes. She really wanted to see the boss who created a city with her own hands, and then stand in front of him and say, "Long time no see, Boss Roy!"

She remembered that the last time she passed this street, she was still amazed at this prisoner-of-war concentration camp.

I didn't expect that when I came back this time, the prisoner-of-war concentration camp had been razed to the ground, and the temporarily cleared open space was filled with stalls.

Feeling that the carriage could hardly move in the downtown area, Qian Ning simply pushed open the door, walked out of the carriage, and followed the crowded crowd into the temporary market.

Two half-elf guards followed closely behind Miss Channing. In addition to sundry goods, the most common items on these stalls were magical herbs.

The Pagisto Plateau is not rich in magical herbs, but it is vast, and the southern part of the plateau city is an endless wilderness. Some precious magical herbs still grow on this prairie.

Miss Qian Ning also heard that the price of magic herbs on the Elf Continent had skyrocketed because of the large-scale plane war that broke out on the Roland Continent...

When she was at the northern mithril mines in the Sudaso Mountains, she often saw some half-elf gatherers venturing deep into the Sudaso Mountains to collect magical herbs in the mountains.

In fact, there are no high-level magical beasts in the depths of the Sudaso Mountains. The reason why the depths of the mountains are dangerous is that there are some plateau headhunters hiding in the mountains.

For the gatherers, the greatest danger is the highland headhunters.

Miss Channing was wearing a beige long skirt with layers of lace that made it look very fluffy. She held up the heavy skirt with both hands to prevent it from dragging on the ground. Walking alone in the bustling street was an indescribable novelty for Miss Channing.

She walked through the crowds of people on the street and came to the notice board. She looked at the familiar lines of handwriting on the parchment with a happy smile on her face...
