Chapter 757 758. Meeting
Roy had the nautical charts of all areas of the Endless Sea compiled by Abbot himself. Seeing that many lines on the nautical charts that Mrs. Nancy took out were blurred, he took out the set of nautical charts compiled by Abbot from his magic waist bag and found the chart of the waters near the Queen Evenny Islands.

As expected, Abbott's nautical chart is much more comprehensive and clear. The approximate distances between many islands are even marked. What's more exaggerated is that Abbott actually marked the direction of the ocean currents and even wrote in the notes which months of the year are more suitable for sailing.

"Your set of nautical charts is quite complete. The person who drew it must have put a lot of thought into it." Mrs. Nancy gave a rare compliment.

"He was my best friend Abbott, but unfortunately he died. I killed him with my own hands." Roy said calmly, holding the nautical chart.

It's been so long since this happened, and he has slowly begun to let it go...

Mrs. Nancy was a little surprised and asked Roy: "Does he have a reason to die?"

Roy nodded and said, "He killed our mutual friend Jasper for a treasure map he found from the gray dwarf. I searched for him for a long time and finally found him in the Partington plane. I captured him and brought him back to Castletown..."

Madam Nancy pursed her lips, tapped Roy's shoulder and said, "No wonder many Silver Moon elves said that you killed many Silver Moon elves in the Partington plane, and even some Silver Moon elf nobles. It seems that these things are not just groundless."

"Some people do wrong things and they have to be punished," Roy said as a matter of course.

Mrs. Nancy smiled, looked at the sea chart that Roy took out, pointed to an island on it and said:

"In recent years, the gray dwarf bandits have been attacking the Queen Ewenni Islands. Based on the clues brought by some merchants, I guess there may be a group of gray dwarf bandits hiding on the island."

Roy didn't know what Mrs. Nancy did before, but she was very familiar with the sea and always knew something that others didn't know.

And more knowledgeable than many elves...

……

After leaving Mrs. Nancy's house, Roy came to the dock of Partington Island and found a medium-sized sailboat on the dock that was heading to the Queen Ivne Islands. He rushed to the Queen Ivne Islands overnight.

On the medium-sized sailing ship, Roy could enjoy a separate cabin. Almost all the Silver Moon Elf captains knew Roy...

After all, in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, Roy is the only half-elf who serves as the leader.

Officers who had never seen Roy only needed to take a look at the regimental commander's badge on his chest to know his identity.

After all, the Partington Mine Guards are still very famous in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. They have achieved brilliant results in the Queen Eweni Islands twice, and also went to the Golfito Canyon to carry out missions, allowing the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to float above the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp.

More officers knew the name 'Roy' because the Council of Senior Elf Elders had been investigating Captain Roy for several years, suspecting that he had illegally killed a Silver Moon Elf noble.

Now the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is preparing to evacuate from the Partington plane, and the mine guard regiment is also facing forced disbandment.

There are several theories circulating in the Silver Pegasus military as to where Captain Roy will go next.

Roy lay in the cabin until the medium-sized sailboat docked at the new pier of Queen Island. Then he came out and was the first to get off the medium-sized sailboat.

At the new dock, a Silver Moon Elf officer came up, stood in front of Roy, and said to him:
"Captain Roy, Earl Swinburne knows that you may come to Queen's Island in the next two days, so he arranged for me to wait for you here." The Silver Moon Elf officer saluted Roy and said very respectfully.

"I want to see Lord Swinburne. Is it convenient now?" Roy asked directly.

"The Earl is waiting for you in his office. Please follow me..."

The officer walked out along the sampan built on the dock, crossed the beach and rainforest, and finally came to the Tree of Life.

Some Silver Moon Elf guards stood at the foot of the steps of the Tree of Life. Roy stepped onto the steps. This time when he came to Queen Ewenni Islands, he always had a strange feeling, as if many eyes were watching him.

Roy didn't care about those looks at all...

Walking into the first floor hall of the Tree of Life, there was a large space. Roy raised his head as if he had sensed something, and just in time he saw Earl Swinburne standing on the terrace on the third floor, observing the situation in the first floor hall from a high vantage point.

Roy immediately saluted Earl Swinburne. The Earl looked a little tired and just raised his hand slightly.

……

When Roy walked into Earl Swinburne's office, the Earl sat on the chair, looked up at Roy, and asked him:
"What is the situation in the Partington plane?"

Roy introduced the war in the western waters, mainly talking about how the Siren Legion had repeatedly dealt heavy blows to the Faceless Legion.

Earl Swinburne was a little surprised and asked Roy, "Are you saying that the Siren Tribe is currently the main force resisting the Dark Faceless Legion?"

"Yes. Although the Dark Faceless Army has occupied the entire western sea area, the Siren Army has been reorganized and has fought three successful raids in succession during this period... Must the Partington Plane be abandoned?"

Roy couldn't help but ask.

Lord Swinburne nodded.
"The Council of Senior Elven Elders has made a final decision to stop all military supplies to the Partington Plane and order the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to withdraw from the plane within two months. After three months, the portal will be closed to completely cut off contact with the Partington Plane."

"..."

Roy wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.

At this time, he thought of what Mrs. Nancy said.

The Mine Guards can only exist in the Partington plane. Once the Partington plane is lost, the Mine Guards will be disbanded.

Even if these half-elves took off their standard armor, they might not be able to return to the Elf Continent.

Roy asked Lord Swinburne:
"What about the mine guards? Is the legion going to completely abandon the mines on the Pagisto Plateau?"

"The military has almost no control over the Partington Plane Mine Guards. Your military expenses also come from the mines on the Pagisto Plateau. If the mines on the Pagisto Plateau still need the protection of the Guards, it's not a bad idea to stay. However, after the portal is closed, the Mine Guards will cut off contact with the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion."

Lord Swinburne said directly.

He stared at Roy, trying to find something hidden in Roy's eyes.

He even predicted that the half-blood elves would not leave the Partington plane, or that only a small number of half-blood elves would return to the elven continent.

Roy saw a lot of things in the earl's eyes. Roy always thought that Earl Swinburne was very friendly to half-elves and was one of the few friendly people in the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom. Now it seems that it is not the case at all.

Roy lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Earl Swinburne:

"I will transport the magic metal ingots in the various mines to Partington Island. This may be the last thing I can do. The mine guards will not withdraw from the Partington plane. Even if the portal to the Partington plane is closed, I will stay there."

Hearing Roy's words, Earl Swinburne nodded with satisfaction. "Tell me. Is there anything else I can help with?"

"I want to fight the gray dwarf bandits again before the portal closes, and capture a group of gray dwarf prisoners to take to the Partington plane. In the future, the miners in the mines of Pagisto Plateau will become these gray dwarves. My magic airship fleet needs to return to Partington Island through the portal. Give me two weeks."

Earl Swinburne thought about it seriously and agreed:
"Okay, I'll find a way to apply for a teleportation pass. It's only for two weeks, so don't stay at sea for too long. When the time comes, I'll dispatch two Silver Pegasus Knights to assist you."

Roy came to see Earl Swinburne this time just to make a final test. He already knew the answer from Lady Nancy.

Earl Swinburne's tone was still extremely gentle.

But Roy knew that the two Silver Pegasus Knights were sent here not to assist in the battle, but rather to monitor the mine guards.

"Thank you, Lord Swinburne."

Sometimes Roy had to say things against his will, which made him feel annoyed.

"A plane war broke out in the Grimm Empire. The human lords are actively resisting the dark army of the Abyss Hell. Why can't the elves do the same?"

Roy finally couldn't help but question Earl Swinburne.

"Because elves cannot reproduce in large numbers like humans, war will only cause the elves' population to shrink rapidly, which is what we least want to see. Therefore, the Council of Senior Elf Elders hopes to cut off contact with the other side when the plane war is in its infancy."

Lord Swinburne replied without changing his expression.

"Then I will make some preparations first. One week later, I will personally lead the magic airship through the portal on Partington Island and fly directly to Jigen Island on the eastern outskirts of the Queen Ewenni Islands. I will use that island as a temporary supply camp and search the depths of the Endless Sea for the hiding place of the gray dwarf bandits."

After Roy finished speaking, he stood up and saluted Earl Swinburne.

The look in Earl Swinburne's eyes was somewhat complicated. I wonder if he regretted it...

Roy used all the magic metal ingots on the Pagisto Plateau to buy a teleportation ticket for the mine guards, hoping to build a portal on an island outside the territory of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

After dealing with Earl Swinburne, Roy also has to find a way to meet Grand Mage Cedric.

He needs the help of Archmage Cedric to move the portal to the island with an active volcano.

Less than two hours after arriving at the Queen Evigny Islands, Roy found that he had actually accomplished the purpose of his trip and now he could go to the dock to wait for the boat.

The beach near the pier is covered with burn marks, and it will probably take a long time to return to its original state.

In the clear sea water, there are many charred ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Some of the sunken ships have even become hiding places for fish.

There were frequent ships traveling between Queen Island and Partington Island. Soon Roy boarded a medium-sized sailboat and left Queen Eweni Island...

……

Two days later, Roy walked out of the Castletown Port Pier. He took a carriage directly to the Magic Guild and took the Magic Guild's teleportation gate to arrive at the city of Wopeye.

Roy couldn't find Grand Magister Cedric, but he knew Grems was in Wopeye.

As long as you find Grems, you will know the news about Magister Elaud, and then you can find Grand Magister Cedric through Magister Elaud.

Although Roy's pockets were full of magic crystals, the expensive teleportation fee still made him feel a little painful...

Walking out of the teleportation hall, Roy stood alone at the street corner.

It was raining in the magic city of Waupaye. Fine rain fell on Roy, so he had to put on a magic cloak.

He quickly found a carriage, told the driver the address, and got in. After getting in, he did not close the door, but asked the air at the door: "Why are you two standing outside? Come in quickly, I'm in a hurry!"

At this moment, the two Dark Moon Elf assassin hybrids hiding in the shadows quickly revealed themselves, quickly got into the carriage, and then quickly disappeared.

Roy just pretended that the two of them didn't exist. Although he brought Leah with him when he returned to the Elf Continent this time, he chose two Dark Moon Elf assassin warriors to come to Wopeye City.

The carriage was traveling in the rain and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

The melodious time-telling music came from the magic clock tower in the distance, and the rain flowed down the underground drain on the street...

Roy stood in front of a magic workshop and knocked hard on the door.

A young magic apprentice pushed the door open and walked out, and asked Roy, "We are not open to the public here. Who are you looking for?"

"Is Magician Grames here? If so, please tell him that Roy from the Partington plane is here to see him." Roy said standing outside the door.

The young magic apprentice looked at Roy curiously, pushed open half of the wooden door, and invited Roy to come in to shelter from the rain.

"Please wait at the door. I will report to the teacher..."

The magic apprentice spoke in a soft voice, had a very good personality, and walked with his legs a little bit close together. But he was a male elf magic apprentice.

Roy quickly looked away.

Soon, Grahams came to the door, put his arm around Roy's neck, and said to him with a smile: "Why did you come to me so soon? Have you figured out...how to let me help you?"

Roy nodded and asked Grems, "Grems, have you heard? The Silver Moon Elf Kingdom is planning to abandon the Partington Plane. They are planning to close the portal on Partington Island, so the half-blood elves currently living in the Partington Plane will most likely stay in the Partington Plane."

"so serious?"

Roy nodded: "I came here this time to ask for your help to move this portal to another island."

"Ah? You actually made such a request... I'm not a space magician. You have to find Oppaia and her teacher, Lord Jonas, for this matter." Grahams said to Roy.

"But I can only find you..."

Roy said to Grimes.
