Path of Light.

Chapter 734 735. Friends
Many half-elves and some human crew members gathered at the intersection of Brown Street.

Roy followed the crowd and boarded the long carriage. He was going to the alchemy workshop to see how the alchemy workshop was producing magic potions.

The elves in the carriage were discussing the song "Yearning Across Time and Space" played by Claire. This song had spread throughout the city of Castleton, and the musician Claire once again became the subject of discussion among the elves in Castleton.

Think about Claire's bumpy musical journey. He has a little musical talent, but obviously not much creative ability...

Roy felt that Claire was more suited to business. Due to his family's influence, he had a wide network of contacts in Castletown. With just a little effort, he could manage Roy's business in Castletown very well. Whether it was the metal business or the herbal business, Claire was helping Roy manage it.

The long carriage passed through the lower town. There were obviously more Silver Moon Elves on the streets. The human crew got off at the edge of the magic district. They should go to the upper town to find a tavern to have a drink.

The carriage drove all the way to the end of the magic district before Roy got off.

The elementary alchemy workshop opened by Roy in the magic district has become one of the few large magic workshops in Castleton City.

There are more than two hundred magic pharmacists employed in the workshop, and almost all of the employees are magic apprentices. While learning magic, they are also studying magic alchemy.

In Roy's alchemy workshop, the magic potions made were all elementary magic herbal formulas, which were very suitable for elementary magic pharmacists to work part-time...

The basic magic potions at the alchemy workshop are also very cheap, and the main feature is high volume and low profits.

The workshop does not have any requirements for magic pharmacists. All they recruit are magic apprentices who just need to have a basic knowledge of magic.

According to Roy's arrangement, the magic apprentices did assembly line-like work in the alchemy workshop. The preparation of magic potions was usually divided into several steps: initial processing of herbs, grinding, boiling medicinal juice, and mixing several medicinal juices together for reaction.

In Roy's alchemy workshop, all magic pharmacists deal with the simplest primary magic herbs, and each magic pharmacist is only responsible for one process.

You can become a skilled worker in one day, but you can’t learn any skills in a short period of time…

Woods felt that this left no room for these magic apprentices to learn, so he allowed magic apprentices who had worked in the same position for four weeks to apply for a job change.

According to Woods, the owner of the alchemy workshop, as long as the magic apprentice goes through all the magic herb refining processes in the alchemy workshop, he can be considered a qualified junior magic pharmacist.

In the past, magic pharmacists who wanted to be promoted to senior pharmacists usually had to pay for learning the skills of alchemy, and this practice process was often very expensive.

Now that they have come to the alchemy workshop, they can not only practice the skills of refining magic potions, but also earn a living allowance every week. The only drawback is that the progress is a little slow...

In comparison, many magic apprentices who want to become magic pharmacists come to Roy's alchemy workshop to work part-time.
A large batch of super life potions is produced here every month and sold to the imperial merchant Darwin.

When Roy arrived at the door of the workshop, he could smell the strong scent of magic herbs wafting from the house. A row of flatbed carriages were parked in front of the alchemy workshop, and carriages carrying magic herbs kept stopping at the unloading area of ​​the workshop.

The workshop was also very lively. Roy even saw many elves queuing in front of the shop at the entrance of the workshop.

After standing at the door of the alchemy workshop for a while, Roy wanted to step into the magic workshop, but was stopped by a magic apprentice who said politely:

"Dear guest, if you want to buy magic potions, please line up at the door."

There is a lot of staff turnover in the alchemy workshop, so it is not surprising that the magic apprentice did not know Roy.

Roy glanced at the magic apprentice and politely explained his purpose. The magic apprentice passed the message in, and soon Woods ran out of the magic workshop...

The first thing Woods said to Roy after seeing him was:
"You seem a little different today..."

Roy was a little dazed and touched his face behind him.

……

Recently, there have been concerts by musician Claire at the opera house in Castletown almost every day.

Not only the residents of Castletown come to listen to the concert, but also the Silver Moon Elves from other cities in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom come here to listen to the concert...

Roy and Woods had no intention of listening to music. In front of the back door of the opera house, they heard a row of carriages, so they waited next to a carriage.

At this time, the concert was just about to end. Claire ran out of the concert hall without even having time to change her performance clothes, and got into Roy and Claire's carriage.

The coachman immediately whipped his horse whip and drove the carriage along the dark streets towards the port terminal in the lower town.

"If you don't come back this time, I was going to write you a letter! Roy, do you know that there is a huge quarrel in the capital of Buenos Aires because of the Partington Plane?"

When Kleier got into the carriage, he brought some very bad news.

The three friends took a carriage to the Black Pearl, which had been empty since Miss Tiffany left. In order to ensure that the Black Pearl would not be occupied by homeless people and other strange elves, Woods had to stay on the Black Pearl every night.

He also had to take care of the flower garden... Woods had returned to Castletown about a month and a half ago. After teaching the priests of the Knights Templar how to cultivate the Flowers of Light, Woods returned to Castletown...

Claire is now a popular public figure. Wherever he goes, he causes a commotion among the elves. Only on the Black Pearl can he be more casual.

The three friends sat on the deck chairs, chatting casually under a white lantern hung on the main mast.

Roy's cup contained diluted life sap.

This is the musician Claire's daily drink. With his current status, he has an ample supply of life-sap every day. Roy usually doesn't like life-sap very much, but Woods likes it very much.

"I heard that a dark faceless army appeared on the Partington plane. What is the specific situation?"

It was Claire who spoke.

Roy replied:

"The Dark Faceless Army has occupied the western seas, and the Sirens have been driven out of their homes. Now the Faceless Army plans to attack the Sun Island Bay. I built a wall at the entrance of the bay, which can barely stop the Dark Faceless Army."

Woods and Carlisle were silent for a moment.

Claire put her hands behind her head, lay down in the wicker chair and said:

"Now, an elven scholar in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom has published a theory on the threat of darkness, which has caused a great response among the elven nobles. Many elven nobles are worried that the forces of darkness will invade the elven world, and some elven nobles are also worried about this."

He paused and turned to look at Roy:

"Some elves even proposed to the Council of Elders to give up the Partington plane..."

"..."

The three friends were silent again.

Woods said: "In the final analysis, it is because the Partington plane is full of half-blood elves. Whether or not to give up the Partington plane will not affect their interests. In addition, once the Partington plane is given up, the biggest hidden danger in their hearts will be eliminated. If I were a Silver Moon Elf, I would also support this proposal."

As a Silvermoon Elf, Woods' words obviously made Claire a little embarrassed, but this was also the truth.

Claire asked Roy: "If this happens, how will the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion react?"

Roy smiled helplessly. The Silver Moon Elves were always used to looking for the Silver Pegasus Legion's garrison to solve problems when they encountered difficulties...

But Roy knew the actual situation of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion best.

He said: "After the Battle of Queen Igwene Islands, I realized that although the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has 12 Silver Pegasus Knights, the area that needs to be garrisoned is also very large. In addition to a quarter of the west coast of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, there is also the Queen Igwene Islands. Now another Silver Pegasus Knight is stationed in Golfito Canyon. Sending the Silver Pegasus Knights to Partington is out of the question, not to mention that one or two Silver Pegasus Knights entering the Partington plane will not be able to reverse the situation."

Claire was shocked to hear Roy say that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion had all entered the Partington Plane and couldn't figure out the Faceless Legion in the plane. He sat up from the rattan chair and stared at Roy blankly:

"Is the situation in the Partington plane serious?"

Roy did not hide the situation over there from his good friend.

"Well, the number of dark faceless men pouring into the Partington plane is very huge. They almost crushed the Siren tribe in the sea like a whirlwind. Of course, it is fortunate that the elves live on land, and the Padstow Forest is very far away from the sea. Once these dark faceless men land on land, their strength will be at least halved. They should not land and fight easily. I think the mine guards are fully capable of blocking them south of the Sun Island Bay."

Roy changed his tone and said to his two friends earnestly:
"War costs money, and the business of magic metals and magic herbs is the most powerful support for the war in the Partington plane. So I came back this time to talk to you two about the current situation in the Partington plane. You must ensure the logistics and supplies."

At this time, Woods also sat up from the rattan chair.

Woods and Claire both assured Roy at the same time:

"Roy, don't worry, leave this to us."

"I'm just a little worried. Once the actual situation in the Partington plane is discovered by that group of people, the situation in Buenos Aires will probably get even worse." Claire said with some concern.

"That group of Silver Moon Elf nobles... let them protest if they want. They won't provide any help to the Partington plane anyway. How bad can they get?" Woods said.

"I'm afraid they will put pressure on the Armament Manufacturing Department to stop supplying armaments to the Partington plane. That would be the most troublesome thing..." Claire expressed her concerns.

Roy lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Probably not for now, but we have to make some preparations in advance. I plan to use all the reserve funds to purchase military equipment and store them in the Partington plane..."

"I'll take care of this," Claire offered.
