Path of Light.

Chapter 889 890. Kui Island Volcano
Under the starry sky, Moira lay on Roy's legs and playfully stretched her toes outside the wicker chair.

It seemed as if the entire starry sky was hidden in her black eyes...

There was a hint of naivety in her faint smile. She stretched lazily and even said with some regret:
"Partington's plane war has ended just like that!"

"Really? Just because of the upcoming plane war, we were abandoned by the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom."

"Now, we haven't even started the war with the Dark Faceless Legion, and you suddenly come to us and say: The Planar War is over."

"So what should we do now? Everyone has been actively preparing for war recently, but the war ended before it even officially began..."

"Then should we go and tell the Silver Moon Elf nobles in Buenos Aires that the Partington plane is now safe, and that you should quickly send someone to take over the city of Padstow..."

Moira only talks incessantly in front of familiar elves, and even doesn't forget to make a sarcastic remark. Usually, she remains silent in front of outsiders.

Roy smiled and tucked Moi's hair behind her ears, revealing her delicate face...

Roy didn't say anything. He certainly wouldn't say what he had paid in this plane war. The reason why this plane war could be won so easily was mainly because the Siren Tribe of the Partington plane had an ancestor who was close to a demigod, Lord Abyss Fang.

The sirens of the Partington plane have such a powerful backing, but they didn't show up to control the entire Partington plane. We have to give them some praise: they are low-key enough.

At least now the Half-Elf and the Partington Siren have established a deep friendship...

Sabrina says:

"Wouldn't it be better if we just maintain our current independent and free state?"

The half-blood elves had just spent two days in Padstow City. There was really no reason for them to return to the camp of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom and suffer the oppression of the Silver Moon Elf nobles again...

Roy to Sabrina and Moira:

"I am going to Castletown this time, hoping to open a route between Que Island and Castletown Port, so that the trade of magic herbs and magic metals can be re-established."

Roy thought that he couldn't always count on the imperial merchants to buy magic herbs. The last transaction with the imperial merchant Darwin went quite smoothly, but when the merchant ship of the imperial merchant Moses came, it brought a group of gray dwarf bandits with it.

The problem is that once this matter gets out, we don’t know how it will be interpreted.

The audience didn't want to figure out who was right or wrong; they just let some of the details that interested them float into their ears, such as how the imperial merchants and the gray dwarf bandits were completely annihilated.

"That's a good idea. If we can establish a route from Castletown to Que Island, we can go back to Castletown to see Gillian occasionally..."

Moira complimented proudly.

The three of them chatted for a long time in the night, enjoying the sea breeze.

It was not until the tide receded and the beach was smoothed into a mirror by the sea that I returned to my room, feeling sleepy, to rest.

……

at night,

Wendy had a very strange dream.
She dreamed that she was wrapped in warm sea water and she could only barely keep her face above the water.

Countless dazzling beams of light shone through the deep seabed, and the scorching sun hung in the sky, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.

She could only struggle in the sea with her hands and feet in vain, and was very tired.

She was terrified, fearing that she would sink into the bottomless abyss after running out of strength, but she insisted on floating on the surface of the sea, and she didn't know how long she could hold on...

She woke up from her dream and opened her eyes suddenly. Everything around her was quiet and pitch black in front of her. Outside the curtains was still the starry sky.

I felt like I was sweating a lot and was sticky all over, and my chest was pushing up my pajamas.

She sat up, tiptoed across the living room, and took a shower in the bathroom.

When the clean water washed her body, she calmed down from her panic. She crossed her hands in front of her chest and called the goddess of nature several times in her heart, but unfortunately she still could not get any response.

As she wiped her long hair, she walked out of the bathroom. She found that the comfortable life now made her dread the hard life in the past...

In the Lost Sea, it was difficult to take a shower in a day, and we were hungry all day long. Occasionally, we were whipped and were ordered around by the slave traders like animals.

We have survived those hard times...

The leisurely and comfortable life on Kui Island now makes her a little anxious.

Every day she woke up from some weird dreams, and when she thought it was the goddess of nature calling her, the goddess didn't respond at all...

It was almost dawn, and Wendy needed to prepare breakfast before everyone woke up.

In fact, breakfast is also very simple, lemon tea, breadfruit, apples and so on.

Occasionally she would pick some flowers in the jungle and put them in a vase to make breakfast seem more ceremonial.

Then I took the basket and went to the market at the Kui Island Pier to buy some fresh fish.

The griffin that Sabrina raises needs to be fed some fresh fish every day.

Before daybreak, Wendy saw a group of headhunter prisoners coming from the direction of the forest square and walking along the beach towards the headhunter camp.

I heard that the headhunters who were injured among the defenders of Kui Island will return to the prisoner-of-war camp in Plateau City for vacation.

It was the first time Wendy heard that prisoners of war also enjoyed holidays, and she shook her head speechlessly.

She found many of Boss Roy's practices very novel. For example, Roy hoped that those brave headhunters would stay on the wilderness to graze after their vacation...

Unexpectedly, some headhunters were reluctant to leave Kui Island.

Wendy didn't understand how someone could get addicted to chiseling stones on the beach.

……

Roy was busy for three whole days on Kui Island dealing with the return of the Plateau Headhunters prisoners to the Plateau City.

He signed and stamped every honor certificate, and felt his wrists were swollen.

But these glorious certificates would later become the unique identity of these headhunters on the Pagisto Plateau, proving that they had performed heroically and outstandingly in certain battles.

This also legalizes their status in the Plateau City...

The headhunters who left Kui Island all held a roll of parchment like this in their hands. Thirty bundles of magic parchment alone were used.

Now, after several large-scale expansions, the number of half-elf guards in the mine has exceeded 50,000. However, even with so many elf guards, Mulin still cannot feel safe enough.

That's right, she is still recruiting half-elf guards...

However, the amount of supplies consumed every day by the entire mine guard corps under normal operation has made Roy unable to eat.

If it weren't for the rich magical herb resources in the Partington plane, which allowed Roy to accumulate a large amount of wealth, he might have thought of reducing military spending. The biggest trouble now is that if those imperial merchants don't come to Kui Island, there will be no way to trade magical herbs...

A large amount of magic metals were piled up in the warehouse of Plateau City. For at least ten months, not a single metal ingot had been transported out of the Partington plane.

The biggest income recently came from the Siren Tribe in the western seas. Roy had accumulated 350,000 black magic crystals in his hands. Roy had already paid off all the subsequent debts of nearly hundreds of thousands of black magic crystals.

After selling these black magic crystals to imperial merchants, they can also be exchanged for a large amount of magic crystal stones.

It seems that we must hurry up to restore the trade of magic herbs and magic metals. The best thing is to establish a route between Castletown and Que Island.

Originally, Roy planned to go to Castletown City with the great magician Graham today, but Miss Nania asked Roy to wait while she contacted her best friend who had a strong background in Gomez City.

Roy could only wait on Kui Island, after all, this matter was related to those magic cannons.

……

Sabrina patrols around Que Island with her Griffin Riders every day.

In recent days, she discovered that the gray dwarf bandits in the waters of Kui Island had completely disappeared.

To this end, she asked the Griffin Riders to expand their patrols to more than 30 surrounding islands.

Every hour, sixty griffin riders would fly into the sky.

They would fly to more than thirty islands in a group of two, then circle the islands before returning to the camp. Some islands were very far from Kuei Island, and it would take the griffin cavalry half a day to fly once...

However, the benefits of this large-scale patrol are also obvious. Kui Island has become completely quiet, and no gray dwarf bandits have landed on the island.

Even the secret sentry stationed by Moira and her team on the island was cancelled...

Sabrina jumped off the white griffin and was about to let the griffin rest for a while and drink water when she saw Roy and Great Magician Grames waiting at the entrance of the camp.

The magic broom of the great magician Grams was suspended beside him. Roy saw Sabrina and ran over quickly...

Sabrina immediately calmed the somewhat irritable white griffin and glanced at Roy with a questioning look.

Roy asked Sabrina, "Sabrina, can your griffin still fly?"

"What do you want to do?"

Sabrina glanced at the griffin, which was still pouncing on Roy, and scratched its neck.

"Fly me over Kui Island. I want to observe the crater on the other side of the island."

Roy moved closer and wanted to touch the mane on the griffin's neck, but the griffin shook its head violently, forcing Roy to retract his hand...

Sabrina looked at Roy helplessly, then silently fed the griffin.

After a busy period, she calmed the white griffin down and then pulled it to Roy's side. She first rode on the saddle of the white griffin, then bent down and handed her hand to Roy, saying:
"Come up!"

Roy grabbed Sabrina's hand and used the force to climb onto the griffin's back and sat behind Sabrina.

At this time, the great magician Grames had already soared into the sky on his magic broom. Sabrina patted the griffin's neck and let the white griffin chase after him.

The white griffin flapped its wings violently and flew into the sky.

Roy placed his hands on Sabrina's slender waist. Even though they were covered by heavy armor, the feeling was wonderful.

The great magician Grams flew in front, almost rushing straight into the sky along the slope of the volcano...

The white griffin followed behind with difficulty, flapping its wings vigorously.

After all, it was carrying two elves, which made it extremely difficult for it to take off.

The crater on Kui Island is actually long and narrow. There are two sizes of crater, with the heights of the lava pools differing by dozens of meters. The larger lava pool is about three hundred meters long and only a few dozen meters wide from north to south. Its shape resembles the squinting eyes of the elves.

The smaller crater is a long and narrow crack that appears to have no regular pattern.

These two craters are about a hundred meters deep from the actual lava pool.
Normally, there is only some thick smoke, and when the strong wind blows the smoke away,

You can see the orange-red magma below, bubbling continuously, and then the bubbles quickly burst, and the sky is filled with the smell of sulfur.

The great magician Grams rode on the magic broom, opened a golden magic light shield on his body, and then rode the magic broom close to the crater.

Sabrina tried to follow, but was stopped by Roy.

The gas coming out of the crater is poisonous. If inhaled, it can easily injure the griffin...

Wait for the great magician Grahams to go in and out of the edge of the crater several times, and then fly out completely and remove the magic shield on his body.

It was not very convenient to communicate in the air, so both sides flew down along the steep mountain wall.

There are actually some bald eagles perched on the walls of the Kuei Island volcano, and they build their nests on the cliffs.

When Roy and the great magician Graham flew up, they did not see these big birds. When they flew down along the mountain wall, the bald eagles flew into the air and circled back and forth in the sky.

However, they seemed to be very afraid of the griffins and did not dare to approach them.

But their cries are particularly shrill.

Two-thirds of the Kuei Island volcano is black volcanic rock, and the traces of lava cooling down after flowing are still vivid. Although the south side of the mountain is also very steep, it at least allows climbers to find a foothold. The north side is simply a cliff several hundred meters high...

The lower third of the volcano is a dense jungle covered with thick vegetation. Although there are also cooled lava rivers, the two sides of the rivers are also covered with lush trees.

The great magician Grams did not fly back in one breath. Instead, he chose to land at the foot of a volcano with vegetation and sat under a tree to rest.

Sabrina caught up with Roy, and Roy jumped off the griffin's back. The white griffin opened its mouth and bit Roy's thigh...

Sabrina quickly reached out to grab the white griffin's neck and used her other hand to push its chin, forcing it to lift up.

The white griffin flapped its wings twice, but was stopped by Sabrina, and then it calmed down.

Roy sat on the black stone opposite the Great Magician Grams, who said to him:

"The magma in the crater is very active. I am not a scholar in this field, so I have no way of knowing the eruption cycle of this volcano, but I can be sure that the eruption period will definitely not be in the near future..."

After that, he paused, and then said to Roy:

"And this volcano is too big. I can't seal it with my ability."

Sabrina, who came from behind, heard what the great magician Grames said and realized that Roy actually had the idea of ​​sealing the volcano on Que Island.
