Path of Light.

Chapter 894 895. Old Friend
Although Roy was not very familiar with Captain Steele, there was no grudge between them, and they had even met once in Golfito Canyon.

Normally, Captain Steele shouldn't have let his Silver Moon Elf Knights turn the magic airship upside down. What he did was to show Roy his power and to openly state his position - 'I don't know you!'

I didn't expect that after not having contact with the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion for a long time, the first meeting would be so unpleasant.

This unpleasant incident cast a shadow on the magic airship's journey to Queen Island.

"It seems that the relationships you have built up with the Silver Pegasus Corps are not very solid. At least they don't have to consider your face. In fact, because it's you, they even have to add extra costs to make this search seem more fair."

Great Magician Grames walked out of the cabin, looked at the messy deck, and said sarcastically to Roy.

Roy smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I didn't expect this to happen. I thought I treated him well when we were in Golfito. Even if we can't be friends, we can still nod to each other and say a few words when we meet in the future..."

"They are Silver Moon Elf nobles, but what about you? When you were in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, you were always a thorn in the eyes of the Buenos Aires Elder Council. You don't have a good reputation in the Silver Moon Elf noble circle!"

The great magician Grams laughed and made an undisguised sarcastic remark to Roy.

"Do you think it's possible that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has received a ban prohibiting you from entering the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom?" Great Magician Grams continued to speculate.

"No way, I haven't violated any laws of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom..." Roy hesitated and said uncertainly.

"But you are now the leader of the half-blood elves in the Partington plane. Although you have always been reluctant to admit it, you are actually already in that position." Great Magician Grams said to Roy with his hands folded.

Roy and Great Magician Grahams stood at the bow for a while, watching the half-elf crew members clean up the messy deck neatly.

Two magic airships were sailing on the sea one after the other, although their speed was far less than that of high-speed sailing in the eolian layer, sailing on the sea was a unique experience.

Occasionally, you will encounter a group of dolphins. They will swim alongside the sailboat for a while before disappearing quietly into the sea.

……

"I heard that you can understand the sounds of dolphins and communicate with them?"

Roy walked up to Miss Nania and asked her.

Miss Nania was on the outer corridor of the ship, holding the railing with both hands and looking at the island in the distance. It was said that there was Queen's Island.

The mountain on that island is taller and more majestic than the volcano on Kui Island, and the entire mountain is covered with vegetation. It is said that there is a tree of life on this mountain, and there are also several ancient war trees in the tropical jungle of the island.

These ancient war trees are the kings of the tree spirits. They have bodies that are nearly a hundred meters tall, which is roughly equivalent to the height of a thirty-story building.

Their sturdy bodies and well-developed root systems allow them to form a huge protective umbrella in the jungle.

These ancient war trees can move freely in the jungle on the island and throw hard fruits from the trees at the enemy...

Miss Nania knew about these ancient war trees from her parents. When the Naga Sea Clan and the Silver Moon Elves went to war, they suffered a lot from the ancient war trees in the waters of the Queen Islands.

Miss Nania looked at this sea area. Originally, this was the border line of the Naga tribe in the Endless Sea. Later, the Silver Moon Elves occupied the islands here, and the Naga tribe retreated to the area around Kui Island. Unexpectedly, they had not lived there for long before the waters of Kui Island were seized by the gray dwarves from the north.

Although the gray dwarf bandits were defeated by the half-blood elves, all the islands in the waters of Que Island fell into the hands of the half-blood elves...

Judging from the sea chart, the Naga Sea Tribe not only lost the Queen Ewenni Islands, but also lost the entire Kuei Island Sea. Now the Kuei Island Sea is almost connected to the deeper Lost Sea...

The Endless Sea was being eroded bit by bit. Although the half-elves in the waters of Kui Island were seized from the gray dwarves, this place was ultimately the territory of the Naga Sea Clan.

Noticing that Freedom was a little distracted, Nanya patted her cheek with her slender fingers and turned to give Roy an apologetic smile.

The faces of Naga mermaids are naturally pure. It is said that Naga mermaids' eyes can look directly into the hearts of others, which means that they can expose the lies of others at a glance.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now..."

Miss Nania's cheeks instantly turned red.

"We can't talk to dolphins directly, but we can tell their moods from their voices, such as happiness, anger, sadness, seeking help, and courtship. When they do these things, the sounds they make are different."

"In addition, some of our Naga warriors can imitate the sounds of dolphins, and they can imitate the sounds of various emotions. Therefore, many foreign tribes think that we can communicate with sea beasts such as dolphins, sea lions, and killer whales. In fact, what they say is right, but also not quite right..."

"I can understand!"

Roy said at this time.

"..."

Miss Nania looked at Roy in confusion.

"In fact, I lived in Castletown in the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom for a period of time. My home was on Brown Street in the lower city, close to the sea. My neighbor at the corner of the street had a night blade leopard. Every time I passed the corner of the street, I could see the black cat squatting under the bushes and staring at me. Later, I found that I could tell its mood from its eyes, anger, irritability, leisure, joy, etc...."

Roy paused and continued:
"Anyway, I do know."

Miss Nania turned around. She was wearing Miss Tiffany's mermaid-patterned long skirt, but she had no bra underneath. Her breasts drooped slightly naturally, and the alluring and clear outline made Roy almost forget to breathe.

The figure and face of the Naga mermaid are perfectly integrated in Nania. Although she has transformed into an elf, her skin still has a light golden luster.

She put her hands on the side of the boat, facing the sea breeze, her long hair blown by the wind.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, she can blend in with the beautiful scenery.

Miss Nania stared into Roy's eyes, pursed her lips and leaned close to his ear, wanting to invite Roy if he wanted to taste the taste of a mermaid...

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side:
"Ahem, Nanya, where are you going to sleep tonight, in the sea or in the ship's tower?"

Miss Abisenfan asked as she stood nearby, then winked at Miss Nania.

Nania's golden eyes widened, wanting to say to her best friend: "You are ruining my good deeds by running out at this time..."

And Miss Abisenfan also blinked her eyes in cooperation...

From Miss Abisonfan's blinking eyes, Nana finally realized that she seemed to be a little too involved, as if she had forgotten the occasion and the surrounding environment. She immediately looked around the deck.

The deck was empty except for a few half-elf crew members, which made her feel a little relieved. When she looked at the top of the ship, she saw Miss Tiffany, Moira and Sabrina holding the railing, and they seemed to be looking at the Queen's Island in the distance...

Miss Nania finally realized why her bestie had just barged out.

Miss Nania's heart suddenly began to beat wildly. She then quickly looked at her best friend, Miss Abisenfan, and took her arm. She quickly said to Roy:
"It's getting late. Miss Abisenfan and I are going to rest. Good night..."

"Hey, Nanya, wait a minute..."

Before Miss Abisenfan finished shouting, she was dragged into the sea by Miss Nania.

In fact, Miss Abisonfan really wanted to tell Miss Nania that she wanted to sleep in the bathtub tonight and experience Miss Tiffany's usual life on the boat.

……

The two magic airships arrived safely at Queen Island on the third morning after departing from Kui Island.

The port terminal of Queen's Island is newly built, and many buildings have brand new traces...

In the jungle just behind the port terminal, two tall ancient war trees stand on the edge of the jungle. These two ancient war trees are a hundred meters high, twice as tall as other trees. The huge tree umbrellas are above the jungle, just like two giants standing among a group of dwarfs.

In the sea just in front of the port of Queen's Island, there are at least dozens of shipwrecks. These three-masted sailing ships from the gray dwarf robbers are permanently buried on the seabed in front of Queen's Island.

They have now become the new home for many fish species, and the wrecks are covered with a layer of mud and sand.

When the two magic airships approached the Queen's Island Pier, Roy could still see the outlines of the shipwrecks through the clear water.

A group of Silver Moon Elf guards stood on the dock. Roy waited for the magic airship to slowly approach the port and was the first to get off the ship.

The official guarding the port terminal and responsible for receiving Roy was indeed Roy's old friend, Captain Berkeley.

Roy got off the boat, and Captain Berkeley, under the watchful eyes of a group of Silver Moon Elf guards, strode up to Roy and hugged him.

Captain Berkeley patted Roy on the back and said excitedly:
"Roy, I didn't expect to see you so soon. I thought you would be working hard in the Endless Sea for a while. How are you doing now?"

"Not bad, right? I had my eyes on an island occupied by gray dwarf bandits before, so I mobilized my army to occupy it. Oh, that island should be on your sea map, it's Kuei Island..."

Roy was also very happy to see his old friend Captain Berkeley, and directly told him the news that Kui Island was occupied by half-blood elves.

"So you occupied the island of Kuei. No wonder the gray dwarves haven't come to the Queen Ewenni Islands for so long. We thought they were planning to give up the Queen Ewenni Islands, but it turns out you drove them away!"

Captain Berkeley suddenly realized...

"They have established a base on Kui Island and want to transform Kui Island into a transit station to facilitate them to transport the gray dwarves in the north to Garo Island in the Seven Realms Sea."

"It just so happened that I needed an island, and Kui Island was just the right one, so I asked them to leave."

Roy explained to the Berkeley leader:
"Oh, by the way, I came here to ask Earl Swinburne for a pass to enter the Silvermoon Elf Port. I want to go back to Castletown to take a look..."

Captain Berkeley looked a little unnatural. He winked at Roy, then put one hand on Roy's shoulder and the two of them got together.

Captain Berkeley then whispered:
"Earl Swinburne has now resigned from the position of commander of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, and Miss Christine has taken over his position."

"Earl Swinburne suddenly fell seriously ill a year ago. Although he was purified and blessed in the Moon Well of the Moon Temple, his health has been getting worse and worse. He has been recuperating in the manor in Castletown City. Miss Christine is now the head of the Swinburne family."

Roy was startled and asked hurriedly:

"How is Lord Swinburne doing now?"

"It doesn't seem good... If you go back to Castleton City, you can go visit him, but I advise you not to use magic on him. The Moon Temple is still very taboo about such things." Captain Berkeley reminded Roy.

Led by Captain Berkeley, Roy successfully walked out of the port dock, and the two of them took a carriage to the headquarters of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.

Roy discovered that the rank badge on Captain Berkeley's chest seemed to have changed. He had originally been promoted to Chief of the Corps Logistics Department, but now seemed to have been demoted to a captain.

"After our army lost the supplies and taxes from the Partington plane, the army's revenue and expenditure once again showed a large deficit, and the accounts were also in a mess. I stepped down from the position of Chief of Logistics and now hold a sinecure on Queen's Island. It feels much easier all of a sudden."

The Berkeley leader seemed optimistic.

"Now many officers in the army are regretting and think that the top leaders should not give up the Partington plane so easily."

"In fact, everyone knows that as the kingdom has drastically reduced its military spending, the areas that the Silver Pegasus Corps is responsible for garrisoning have increased year by year. The Corps consumes a large amount of military supplies every day. If it loses the supply of one plane, the Corps will immediately fall into an economic crisis..."

"The original promises made by the Buenos Aires Council of Elders have not been fulfilled. Those bitches have failed to keep their promises."

Captain Berkeley cursed as he walked, completely ignoring the Silver Moon Elf guards around him.

Roy discovered that two Silver Moon Elves who looked like nobles had already turned red in the face due to Captain Berkeley's curses.

"In fact, you have also isolated the invasion of the Dark Legion. If you think about it this way, you won't feel that you're at such a loss..." Roy chuckled.

"You are now stranded in the Endless Sea. Are you not very clear about the news from the Partington plane?" asked Captain Berkeley.

"Me? Not bad! As you know, I have a group of magician friends, so I still have some connections over there." Roy said very cryptically.

Captain Berkeley nodded and whispered to Roy:

“I’m afraid I can’t give you the supplies from the Legion.

But I can introduce you to a few friends. As long as you bring the magic crystals with you, you can get the military supplies you need from them.

I know that you are now in the Endless Sea and have to deal not only with the gray dwarf bandits, but also with the Naga sea tribe. The military supplies you brought with you should have been almost consumed!"

Seeing Captain Berkeley sitting on the bench, still thinking about him, Roy felt indescribably touched...
