Path of Light.

Chapter 794 795. Goodbye, Castletown
Eleven magic airships, fully loaded with half-elves, slowly sailed away from the deep-water dock of Castletown Harbor.

In fact, after Roy's fleet arrived at Castletown Harbor, only three airships fully loaded with magic herbs had much remaining space.

In addition, there were some half-blood elves getting off the ship here and there.

There were only less than three hundred half-elves who disembarked at Castletown Harbor.

That is to say, Roy's fleet could only take away 2700 half-elves in Castletown Harbor.

Roy didn't expect that there were so many half-elves who wanted to leave Castletown Harbor.

There were probably nearly 10,000 half-blood elves crowded on the dock...

……

Roy hurried to the Imperial Merchant Ship and rented a ship from the Imperial merchant Darwin.

The Imperial merchant ship was a five-masted ship that could carry 1,200 people. If the deck space and cargo hold were utilized, it could carry 1,600 people.

Currently, there are seven imperial merchant ships docked at the deep-water dock of Castletown Harbor. Roy guessed that there should be more imperial merchant ships in the surrounding coastal waters...

After listening to Roy's purpose, Darwin asked with a smile:
"What? You want to rent our merchant ship and transport all these half-blood elves stranded at the port? Is the destination of this voyage the new trading island we just decided on?"

Roy knew that Darwin had made a profit this time, and he was also going to organize a merchant ship to go to Que Island.

"Well, can you transfer a few empty ships?"

Darwin smiled slyly:
"That depends...how many boats do you want to rent?"

Roy calculated and said, "Eight merchant ships will be enough."

Darwin immediately walked to the wall, checked the nautical chart on the wall, and casually asked Roy: "How far is the voyage?"

"About a thousand nautical miles." Roy responded.

Darwin rolled his eyes and said, "The rental fee for each ship is one thousand magic crystals. These half-blood elves can board the ship at noon, and the latest merchant ship will arrive at Castletown Harbor before dark."

He was originally waiting for Roy to bargain, and then the two sides would haggle back and forth over the boat rental fee.

Unexpectedly, Roy responded without even thinking:

"Deal! I'll go get the half-blood elves down there registered and then prepare to board the ship."

Darwin stood there in a daze, and asked Roy, who turned around and pushed the door to leave:
"After our merchant ships arrive there, we can also trade magic herbs, right?"

Roy stood at the door and said to Darwin, "Well, but eight merchant ships... can't transport the magic herbs I stored in the warehouse."

Darwin scratched his head in distress. He finally realized how wealthy Boss Roy was.

But thinking about it, I feel that this is normal. After all, I control a rich plane with abundant resources and a plateau rich in minerals...

If such a rich plane existed in the Green Empire, the grand dukes would probably start a war for ownership.

But the Silver Moon Elf nobles of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom don't think highly of it...

Watching Roy get off the boat, Darwin chased after him and said:

"…In Castletown Harbor, I can mobilize up to eight merchant ships!"

Roy didn't even turn his head, but raised his hand and waved to show that he understood.

……

Woods maintained order at the dock, and the half-blood elves sat quietly with their large and small bags.

Several half-elf crew members carried buckets to provide them with drinking water to prevent them from suffering from heatstroke in the scorching weather.

At noon, it was still very hot on the pier, and there was plenty of sunshine today.

Roy had just made a promise, so the half-blood elves on the dock were all very quiet.

When they saw Roy walking down from the Imperial merchant ship, they all stretched their necks and followed Roy's figure with their eyes.

Claire sent Roy to Castletown Port and then went to take over the alchemy workshop.

Roy asked Captain Rodhart to register the half-blood elves at the dock, and when the imperial merchants vacated the merchant ship, they would be allowed to board...

Then Roy came to the fish market west of the pier.

Although he didn't meet Ms. Belinda, Roy saw Ms. Gillian pulling a cart to the fish market in the morning.

He was in a hurry to catch his coach, so he had no time to greet Ms. Gillian.

He had taken some time out of his day to go to the fish market in order to persuade Miss Gillian to leave Castletown with him.

After all, both Moira and Sabrina live on Que.

The fish market here is still the same, and the whole market is filled with a pungent fishy smell.

Various kinds of sea fish are displayed on the stalls. Those who are willing to visit the fish market are basically half-elves. They pick and choose in front of the fish stalls, and sometimes quarrel over bargaining.

The fish market is located on the seawall extending westward from the shallow water pier. The fish stalls are all backed by the sea, and there are some flying fish boats moored behind them.

Roy quickly found Ms. Gillian's fish stall. After all, he was a regular customer at the fish market a few years ago and often brought the fish he caught to sell.

However, Roy has grown too fast in recent years, and his size and appearance have changed a lot. Many fish stall owners can no longer recognize Roy.

Even if Roy took the initiative to say hello, they all stared at him with puzzled expressions. Even though he was a half-elf, no one dared to recognize him...

Fortunately, Ms. Gillian recognized Roy and saw him coming to the stall without looking up, using a fish knife to clean the skin of a tuna.

"Didn't they come back with you this time?" asked Ms. Gillian coldly.

Roy came closer and said:

“Ms. Gillian, I came back to Castletown this time to ask you to move to the Partington plane.

Moira and Sabrina both live there now, and we may not be able to return to Castletown for a long time to come.

Moira and Sabrina would like you to live with them in the Partington plane."

Ms. Gillian looked up in surprise, glanced at Roy, and immediately shook her head to refuse:

"I've gotten used to life here and don't want to leave."

Roy didn't expect Ms. Gillian to refuse so bluntly. He was speechless after hearing what Ms. Gillian said.

"There is also a port and a lot of half-blood elves over there. The city of Padstow is currently larger than the city of Castletown..."

Ms. Gillian raised an arm, motioning for Roy to shut up.

She looked at Roy with a sharp gaze, and Roy was so scared that he quickly took a step back.

Ms. Gillian lowered her head, looked at the neatly arranged tuna meat in front of her, and cut a piece of fish in half with one knife.

"Whether you like Sabrina or Moira, you must cherish this relationship, treat them well, and don't make them sad. If your relationship comes to an end one day, let them come back to me, and tell them that I will always live on Brown Street."

"If you dare to bully them, I will find you with this knife. No matter where you hide, I will pull you out and untie you like a tuna, and then I will be in the sea behind you."

After saying that, Ms. Gillian stabbed the fish knife in her hand hard into the wooden board.

Roy was frightened by Ms. Gillian's harsh words.

Since he was a child, he knew that Ms. Gillian was a woman who dared to love and hate, and acted decisively.

She never hides who she likes, and she never shows a good face to who she hates. Roy can see that Ms. Gillian hates him now.

However, he did not back down. Instead, he took a deep breath and summoned up his courage to say to Ms. Gillian:
"Moira and I have just confirmed our relationship, so I hope to get your blessing."

After saying that, he stood aside obediently.

At this time, a customer came to buy tuna, and Ms. Gillian said without even looking up: "We are closing the stall today, we are not selling these!"

She picked up a piece of greasy leather and covered the fresh tuna meat.

Her eyes became complicated, as if she had lost her most beloved treasure, and she knew where it was, but couldn't find it again...

"Oh, of course! Bless you, and be nice to her..."

She became somewhat incoherent.

Hearing Roy confess to her, Ms. Gillian's expression looked a little better.

In her opinion, Roy is at least a responsible kid...

"I don't want to make any comments on what you young people think. I know you are a good kid who can make people feel at ease no matter what you do."

Ms. Gillian thought for a moment before speaking.

"From the moment you appeared next door to my house, I knew that you were different from those Silver Moon elves, and also different from the half-blood elves in Castletown Harbor. You have very special logical thinking, and your aesthetics are also more human, so you can easily open Moira's heart and pull her out of her own world..."

She never came and never said these words.

"Now that you have all grown up, just like fledglings leaving the nest, you can enjoy the vast sky to your heart's content. Since you have decided to go out and explore, you must fly well..."

After Ms. Gillian finished speaking, she waved her hand impatiently and told Roy to get out.

Roy had no choice but to leave the fish market.

The moment he walked out of the fish market, he turned around and saw Ms. Gillian wearing leather pants, standing next to the fish stall, craning her neck and waving goodbye to Roy.

Her eyes were finally less fierce, and even revealed a hint of kindness, which Roy had never seen before.

In Ms. Gillian's eyes, selling fish is probably a way for her to enjoy life.

The most unique urban life that belongs only to the half-blood elves...

……

Roy was a little confused about Ms. Gillian's thoughts, but he was sure that she didn't want to leave Castletown.

Once young elves reach adulthood, they leave home to live on their own, and they rarely become dependent on their parents when they grow up.

Ms. Gillian probably also felt that Sabrina and Moira were grown up, and even Moira had completed her coming-of-age ceremony, so they could go out and explore the world...

Most young elves will travel together after they grow up to find the life they like.

Roy brought Woods to the Black Pearl, and the two of them personally nailed the wooden door left at the bottom of the ship, then filled the gap with glue, and finally waterproofed the inside twice.

The main mast of the Black Pearl is currently a lush tree. Above the observation deck, the huge tree canopy is like an umbrella...

The entire ship exuded the aroma of tree oil, and the flowerbed on the roof of the ship was full of flowers of light.

Through the glass window, you can still see Miss Tiffany's messy room, with some messy skirts hanging on the bed and the edge of the bathtub...

Woods leaned against the mainmast, resting his head on it.

"I never thought that the Black Pearl would be able to go to sea again one day..." Roy said to Woods. "If it went into the sea, would it still be able to survive?"

"Of course! Its roots come from mangroves," said Woods.

"There will be a high tide tonight. Before the high tide, we will take people to dig out some of the mud on the bottom of the ship..."

Roy didn't plan to do these things during the day.

Because the half-elves gathered at the port dock, the Silver Moon Elf guards at the port dock were staring at them covetously.

If Roy didn't have a pass issued by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the Silver Moon Elf guards would have wanted to arrest Roy...

Even so, a large number of Silver Moon Elf guards appeared at the port terminal, nearly a thousand in total.

The eleven magic airships had left the port at noon and were anchored outside Castletown Harbor.

The imperial merchant ships moored at the deepwater dock had the "Silver Moon Elf Kingdom and Green Empire Trade Agreement" personally issued by His Majesty Janris Ansel. The Silver Moon Elf guards dared not touch these imperial merchant ships...

The half-elves lined up in a long queue to board the ship, and the Silver Moon Elf guards could only stare blankly at the side.

Finally, at night, an imperial merchant ship slowly left the port, with a thick rope tied to its stern, but it was not fully retracted.

As it went farther and farther, the rope was gradually pulled out of the water.

One end of the rope was tied to the stern of the Imperial merchant ship, and the other end appeared on the ram's horn of the Black Pearl.

The tide had risen by now, and the silt that Roy and Woods had worked so hard to dig out that afternoon was immediately washed to the bottom of the boat by the tide.

Even at the highest tide, the water could only reach one meter above the bottom of the ship, and the stern of the Black Pearl was almost completely exposed outside the beach.

Soon the rope was pulled straight by the merchant ship, and the rope pulled the bronze sheep's head, causing the entire hull to creak.

As the hemp rope as thick as an arm was fully taut, the Black Pearl suddenly moved half a meter toward the sea and then stopped.

The four floating devices temporarily erected on both sides of the ship were operating at full capacity, providing limited buoyancy for the entire ship.

"Moved!"

Woods, who was standing at the bow, said excitedly.

"Why did you stop again?"

Roy was in the captain's room, holding the steering wheel with both hands, looking down at the night sky through the glass window, and stretched his hand out of the window, feeling a wisp of wind passing through his fingertips.

"It's the wind!"

Roy said, "The wind is a little unstable now. If it gets stronger, it will drag the Black Pearl into the sea..."

At this moment, Woods felt a gust of wind blowing past him.

Then the Black Pearl moved forward suddenly, and its bow rushed into the sea, stirring up huge waves.

When the front part of the ship entered the sea, it began to tilt forward severely.

As the huge dragging force pulled the Black Pearl into the sea, the Black Pearl stabilized in the sea. Woods hurried to the cabin under the deck to check if there was any water leakage at the bottom of the ship...

Roy only felt that the night scenes on both sides of the window were constantly changing.

At this time, there were only the last two merchant ships at the Deepwater Dock that had not been fully loaded with half-elves, and all the half-elves at the dock had already boarded the ships.

The reason why these two merchant ships are still anchored at the dock is that they want to wait for the last batch of half-blood elves to arrive...

The Black Pearl finally floated on the sea and was slowly towed away from the port by the Imperial merchant ship. Roy pushed open the door of the captain's room and ran to the roof of the ship. He held the railing with one hand and waved vigorously at the Castletown Port Pier.

He didn't even know who he was saying goodbye to.

Anyway, goodbye, Castletown Harbour.
