Path of Light.

Chapter 774 775. Return to Padstow
The more than 30-meter-high portal stood in the clearing in the forest. Roy had never thought that in just one day and one night, under the guidance of Mage Jonas, the magicians of the Astrologers' Guild assembled the portal completely.

The magic vortex in the portal continued to gather magic power and transmit it to the space rift...

Roy was the first to walk up the stairs. The entire portal was still emitting an unstable magical aura. The torn space rifts expanded to the vicinity of the portal's door frame and were restricted by the beams of light produced by magic runes. These magic beams were like the frames of tennis rackets, completely supporting a huge magical door.

The aura of the magic vortex slowly returned to normal. Roy asked Oppaia beside him:
"Is this possible? Can I try it?"

Having said that, he walked directly towards the portal...

Oppaia beside him grabbed Roy and said, "The space rift opened by this door is not very stable yet. Let me do it. I won't get lost in the space rift..." After that, she ran a few steps quickly and rushed into the magic vortex of the portal.

Magister Jonas stood in front of the magic core, checking the flow of mana in the magic array, and the magicians around her cheered again.

Magister Jonas also showed a faint smile on his face, and his expression seemed to tell everyone "this is how it should be".

Moira, Sabrina, Tiffany, Jezena, Captain Jeroin, Captain Flint, and Captain Timothy were all waiting in the clearing in the woods in front of the portal.

Two magic airships that had been ready were also slowly lowering their hovering altitude. They were the first batch of magic airships to enter the portal, mainly to test the maximum carrying limit of the portal, because these magic airships might shuttle back and forth in this portal in the future.

As the magical vortex of the portal dissipated little by little, what followed was a mirror-like surface like the deep night sky, but when one looked at it, no reflection could be seen at all.

A ripple suddenly appeared on the huge mirror, and under the ripples, the great magician Oppaia walked out of the portal calmly.

She gestured to Magister Jonas that everything was going well, and then said to Roy:

"Captain Roy, the installation test of this portal has been completed. Next, we will conduct the first round of stability test of the portal. This test will take about forty-five days. During this period, the portal must have a sufficient supply of magic crystals, and the magic hub cannot stop operating."

After saying this, Oppaia's eyes showed a hint of pride. She held up the hem of her magic robe with one hand and ran quickly to the side of Magister Jonas.

Magister Jonas came out of the magic core stone chamber of the portal with a group of magicians. A magician closed the stone door and set a magic seal on it.

Magister Jonas said to Roy calmly, "Well, Teacher Cedric has finally fulfilled his promise to you. Captain Roy, the next thing will be done by my students. There are new magic topics waiting for me to discuss at the Astrologers' Union. We will go back now."

Roy quickly thanked Magister Jonas: "Thank you so much, Magister Jonas."

Magister Jonas was also in a good mood. She smiled faintly and said, "Captain Roy, this is what you deserve. Who knows, we may have another cooperation someday. It will be a very pleasant start, which is what we hope to see."

The great magician Oppaia mixed in with a group of magicians. She waved gently to Roy, then left with the magicians without looking back.

The small portal opened by Magister Jonas is still at the gate of the mine guard camp.

A group of magicians came to the gate of the camp and returned to the Astrologers' Guild in Wopeye City through the portal one after another. Only a half-elf male magician was left behind to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the portal and the first round of smooth testing.

……

After sending Magister Jonas away, Roy immediately came to the portal in the clearing in the forest.

Two magic airships have been lined up in front of the portal, and have adjusted their angles to enter the portal...

The propulsion device directly pushed the magic airship into the magic vortex.
The first magic airship disappeared quickly, followed by the second magic airship. Roy then waited patiently at the portal, waiting for the portal's magic vortex to turn into a mirror that could not reflect light again. Two half-elf guards rushed out of the portal and shouted excitedly to Roy:
"Boss, two magic airships flew over very smoothly..."

Among the group of people, the most excited person was not Roy, but the mermaid Jie Zena. Her body was like a flash of lightning, flying towards the sea, waving vigorously at the mermaid warriors waiting in the shallow sea, and shouting: "Everyone hurry up and get on the ship, we are going home..."

At this time, the great magician Grams also came to Roy and asked him:
"Is the war situation in Sun Island Bay very troublesome?"

"The Siren Tribe in the western seas has had a difficult time recently. Most of them have been driven to Star Island by the Dark Faceless Legion. Currently, the Siren Tribe is preparing to launch a counterattack against the Dark Faceless Legion. Jie Zena hopes that the Siren Raiders can join the battle..."

Roy explained to Master Magician Grames.

Great Magician Grams said, "I just happened to have some time off recently, so I thought about going to Sun Island Bay to see the arrogant appearance of the group of dark faceless men. How about it, is it okay?"

"Welcome!"

Roy stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with the great magician Grams.

……

The Siren warriors scrambled to climb onto the magic airship along the grid. Just half an hour later, two magic airships carrying a thousand Siren warriors successfully passed through the portal and arrived in Padstow City.

This time, Roy and the great magician Graham also walked to the central square of Padstow.

At this moment, the central square of Padstow City was also crowded with a large number of half-elves. When everyone saw the magic airship appearing overhead, they burst into cheers.

When Roy and Grahams appeared at the portal, the cheers of the half-blood elves instantly ignited the entire square.

Surrounded by everyone, Roy stood on the pedestal of the portal elf statue again, waved to the tens of thousands of half-blood elves in the square, and shouted to everyone:
"Everyone, I'm back with the mine guards. I'm here to announce something to everyone. Currently, the Partington plane has not lost contact with the Elf Continent. Our portal has been preserved. Although the exit of the portal is no longer Partington Island, if any of you want to return to the Elf Continent, just give me a few more months and I will fulfill your wish!"

The half-elves in the square had originally come only to welcome the triumphant return of the magic airship, but they had not expected that Boss Roy would actually announce such shocking news to everyone.

In an instant, all the half-blood elves in the square fell silent. Everyone was a little bit unbelieving. They looked at each other, trying to find the real answer in each other's eyes. Some even asked their companions, "Am I hallucinating?" "Is this a dream?"...

Then the half-elves burst into even louder cheers, and this enthusiastic emotion even seemed to set the entire city of Padstow on fire.

"Currently, the portal to the Elf Continent is being built on a new island. This island does not belong to the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. It belongs to all the half-blood elves in our Partington plane. In the days to come, we must also guard this new island. It will be our only passage back to the Elf Continent."

"There are still some gray dwarf bandits and Naga sea tribe active there, but I am confident that I can defend this island!"

Almost every word Roy said hit the hearts of the half-blood elves. They were not controlled by the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, but could be connected to the Elf Continent... When Roy was giving his speech, the two magic airships had already silently risen into the wind sphere, preparing to fly at high speed to the Sun Island Bay.

In fact, Roy also wanted to fly to Sun Island Bay, but there were still a series of things to deal with on the island of Kui, especially the communication with the city of Padstow, which needed Roy to sort out personally.

Looking at the crowded central square, Great Magician Grams was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Roy was so supported by the half-blood elves in the Partington plane.

Then, the portal guard cleared a path in the square, allowing Roy and Grahams to reach the street smoothly, and then the two boarded a carriage...

The streets were also crowded with half-elves, but everyone was still relatively restrained at this time, and would actively make way when they saw a carriage.

"Gremus, wait for me in Padstow City. I will return to Sun Island Bay after I have arranged everything on Que Island."

Roy, who was sitting in the carriage, said to the great magician Grahams who was sitting opposite him.

"If you are too busy, I can go by myself!" said the great magician Grams casually.

"Just wait for me. Things on Kui Island will be dealt with soon..."

Roy looked out the window and said casually.

The city of Padstow seemed a bit depressed compared to a few months ago. Almost half of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. Most of these shops were magic herb shops and inns.

It seems that the departure of the Silver Moon Elf merchants from the Partington plane has had a significant impact on the economy of the Partington plane.

Soon Roy passed by the Mine Guard Trading Company. Both sides of the road were lined with trucks loaded with magic herbs, and the entrance of the trading company was crowded with half-elf collectors.

It turned out that the trading company was still purchasing large quantities of magical herbs in Padstow City according to his instructions.

"If the Magic Guild needs magic herbs, just come to me." Roy smiled and tried to sell to the great magician Grahams.

"Well, you can contact the Magic Potion Guild for this matter, but the magic herbs that alchemists need are all relatively rare and high-end goods. You need good stuff before they will pay attention to you..."

Some grocery stores, fruit stores, cold drink stores, etc. on the street are still open for business as usual, and it can be seen that these stores are doing good business.

The carriage carried Roy to the military headquarters of the mine guard regiment. Roy walked into the military hall and went straight to Leishande's office.

When Leisander saw Roy push the door and walk in, he put the documents in his hand back on the table and said excitedly:
"Boss Roy, you're finally back. Last week, news came from Partington Island that the portal had stopped functioning and had begun to be dismantled. The passage from the Elf Continent to the Partington Plane was completely closed. We were worried that you wouldn't be able to make it back in time, but we didn't expect you to come back so soon!"

There are two more wrinkles on his face. It must be that Padstow City must have had a lot of trouble recently.

Roy took the great magician Grams to sit on the sofa in the lounge area and said to Leisander:

"This is the great magician Grams. With his and some other magicians' help, I have successfully moved the portal to the new island. I snatched that island back from the gray dwarf bandits. Now that island belongs to us. I came back because I want you to send more guards to Kui Island."

"Also, there are nearly 40,000 gray dwarf prisoners of war being held on Kui Island. I plan to transfer these gray dwarf prisoners of war to a concentration camp outside the city of Padstow as soon as possible. You need to assign some guards to watch over these gray dwarf prisoners of war. I will organize a magic airship to transport these gray dwarf prisoners of war to the city of the plateau as soon as possible."

Lysander stared at Roy with wide eyes:

"You have captured another 40,000 gray dwarf bandits. I think Mulin will secretly greet you when he hears the news..."

"I'm now looking forward to Channing opening the mine in the Nicobar Mountains as soon as possible and digesting these gray dwarf prisoners as soon as possible." Roy said, rubbing his nose.

"I will arrange for the elf guards to go to Kui Island as soon as possible. Is there anything else that needs to be allocated in terms of supplies?" Leisander asked Roy.

"There are only fish resources around Kuei Island. There are not many fruit trees on the island. If coconuts are considered fruit trees, then this is the only one!" Roy explained. "So, the first batch of supplies that need to be transported to Kuei Island is a large amount of apples and breadfruit."

"I'll have someone arrange it right away..."

"Any news from Sun Island Bay?" Roy asked Leisander.

"A messenger came from the Siren Tribe, saying they were preparing to place a large order for Ring-type Siren Armor. Although the workshop has already produced a large batch, because you're not here, the deal can't go ahead without your signature..." Leishande complained.

Roy stood up, found a tea tray on the cabinet beside him, poured two cups of lemon tea from the teapot, handed one to the great magician Grams and the other to Leisander, and then asked him:

"I will go to Sun Island Bay as soon as possible to deal with this matter. Now I need 10,000 half-blood elf guards to follow me to Kui Island. Can you gather them?"

Leisander answered without hesitation: "Yes, the security guard group in Padstow has been expanding. Currently, the security guard group already has 25,000 half-blood elf guards. If 10,000 half-blood elf guards are transferred, the security of Padstow will not be affected."

Roy's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble. He didn't expect that Leisander had expanded the security guard corps to such a scale.

"The portal has now begun to transform normally. Tonight at dawn, 10,000 half-elf guards and supplies will go to Kui Island with me."

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

At this time, Leishande called over a group of half-elf officers and quickly explained the matter.

The entire military is currently operating at high speed.

Seeing that everything was almost arranged, Roy drank the lemon tea in the cup and said to Leisander:

"I'll go to the airport terminal to take a look. At present, we need to intercept all the magic airships that are transporting supplies. I need all of these magic airships to transport the gray dwarf prisoners of war..."
