Path of Light.

Chapter 900 901. Nancy's Speculation

Roy squeezed out from a group of half-elves with a very bad look on his face.

Without leaving the dock of Partington Island, he moved back and forth in the crowded crowd and squeezed into a warehouse.

This is the material transfer point set up by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion on Partington Island. The warehouse here originally stored a large amount of magic metals and magic herbs. Every day, medium-sized sailing ships come from Castletown Port to transport valuable materials here.

The warehouse now contains some military supplies...

The quartermaster in charge of guarding these supplies was a Silvermoon Elf officer.

Every time Roy came back from the Partington plane, he would come here to ask if there were any medium-sized sailing ships returning to Castletown City...

Over time, Roy became very familiar with him.

This Silver Moon Elf Quartermaster is probably over 600 years old. He has experienced countless wars and is considered a very experienced elven officer in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. He has a bad temper but a broad vision...

A Silver Moon Elf officer was sitting in front of a round table with a cup of life tree sap beside him and a chessboard on the table.

His eyes fell on a chess piece, and he looked a little hesitant. He picked up the chess piece and put it down immediately...

The young half-elf opposite seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing. He was holding a book, reading with relish, and did not urge the elven officer.

When the elf officer saw Roy come in uninvited, his eyes lit up and he quickly messed up the chess pieces on the board.

"I have guests here, let's stop here today!"

The elf officer said seriously.

The young Silver Moon Elf quickly ran away with the book in his arms, without saying anything extra...

Roy sat in front of the Silver Moon Elf Quartermaster and asked directly:
"Nagus, what's going on? Those imperial merchants are deceiving half-blood elves all over the west coast of the Elf Continent. Didn't the Silver Pegasus Legion think of taking action?"

He was the only one in the warehouse office. Silver Moon Elf Quartermaster Nagus looked at the wooden door guiltily, but finally walked to the door, opened it and looked outside for a few times. After confirming that there were no elves eavesdropping at the door, he came close to Roy and whispered to him:
"Your boss Roy wants to recruit some half-blood elves in the Elf Continent. Why would the Silver Pegasus Army stop him?"

Nagus took a sip of the sap of the tree of life and continued:
"It's spreading in every port right now. Your boss Roy has found an island in the Endless Sea. It's said to be the birthplace of the elves. Most of the half-blood elves want to migrate to your place under the banner of freedom. Who can openly stand up and stop this?"

"Recently, half-blood elves have been causing a lot of trouble in various cities. Everyone is busy calming down those protests. Naturally, no one will care too much if a few half-blood elves leave."

Roy sat opposite Nagus and asked doubtfully:

"There are so many things that don't make sense here...did no one notice?"

Nagus raised his sagging eyelids, his wise eyes fell on Roy, and whispered:

"Of course some people saw it, but the hands from above covered their eyes, so no one spoke out at this time."

"Now, half-blood elves in many cities are organizing demonstrations and marches, causing chaos in those cities. They wish some half-blood elves could leave the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. Some Silver Moon Elf nobles were originally doing these things, but the trafficking of half-blood elf slaves became a big deal a few years ago, and Lord Alvis of the Partington plane was sent to the Parram Island Prison. Those elven nobles had no choice but to withdraw their claws."

"But the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion blocked their financial path. They proposed to investigate you several times in Buenos Aires, and they also wanted to muddy the waters of the Partington plane."

"Now the Partington plane has escaped the control of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion and has been completely abandoned by the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, and you have also left the Elf Continent with your fleet..."

"If there is a chance to deceive those half-blood elves under your name, do you think they will do it?"

After Nagus finished speaking, Roy put his hand on his forehead and said:
"Are there any Silver Moon Elf nobles involved?"

"...Otherwise, how dare they so brazenly cheat people at the dock under your name?" Nagus glanced at Roy.

Roy originally just wanted to inquire about some of the Silver Pegasus Knights' movements from Nagus, but he didn't expect to hear so much inside information from him.

"Nagus, do you know everything?"

Nagus spread his hands and said to Roy:

"Please, there are at least 17,000 half-blood elves gathered on Kui Island, waiting for you to pick them up. They keep talking about this all day long, and you can't help but listen. Besides, I have been in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion for nearly 300 years. As long as I am not blind, how could those things be hidden from my eyes?"

Roy was about to persuade Nagus to stand up: "Nagus, have you ever thought about..."

But Nagus didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Stop it. I'm old now, and my arms and legs are not as strong as before. We can't get involved in this kind of thing..."

"...It's only because I like you that I say a few words to you. Those other guys don't even have the qualifications to listen to me. I admire what you have done for the half-blood elves, but that doesn't mean I want to follow you and do it."

Nagus chatted with Roy for a while, and after telling him the information he had, he urged Roy to leave quickly to avoid causing him trouble.

After walking out of the dock warehouse, Roy went straight inside along the mountain road leading to the town.

Roy could never understand why Earl Swinburne was always so restrained in governing the Partington plane after he took control of it.

It turns out that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion controls the Partington plane and has taken advantage of so many Silver Moon Elf nobles... Earl Swinburne's illness this time is probably related to this.

……

There is not much change in the town of Partington. The only change is that the portal in the town square has been removed. Now there are more seats in the town square, and there are even elves who opened an open-air tavern in the square.

Roy walked along the familiar road to the edge of the town, which was almost entirely inhabited by half-elves.

Although the town had no portal and the number of shops had suddenly decreased by two-thirds, these did not affect the prosperity of the town.

There are more and more half-blood elves settling here...

It was still the familiar family hotel. The door looked freshly painted. Roy knocked on the door, and soon the person inside opened the door. Nancy's slightly old face appeared in Roy's sight.

She was wearing a woolen skirt and her old hair was tied up in a bun. The lemon tea brewing in the room was emitting a sweet aroma.

Nancy nodded to Roy, indicating that he could come in.

The room was still the same, but it looked like there were no guests.

She turned around and walked back to the sofa in the living room and sat down, then said to Roy:
"You finally showed up. If you don't show up, you will be the one to take the blame..."

She nodded slightly, her sharp eyes falling on Roy's face.

At that moment, Nancy's gaze seemed to point directly into Roy's heart...

"Do you also know that those imperial merchants are deceiving half-elves at the docks on the west coast of the Elf Continent?" Roy asked her.

"I know!"

Nancy thought for a moment and said to Roy:

"This matter can be solved once you come back!"

Roy whispered:
"What good would it be for me to come back now? Some of their merchant ships have been carrying half-blood elves away for more than three months..."

Those imperial merchants deceived some of the half-elves more than three months ago. In the past three months, no one knew where these merchant ships had gone. Even if Roy mobilized the fleet to chase them now, he might not be able to catch up.

He said to Nancy:
"Fortunately, those imperial merchants did not come to Partington Island and deceive the half-blood elves here..."

Nancy placed a cup of lemon tea in front of Roy and said in a calm voice:
"They don't dare to come to Partington Island. What they fear most is that you will show up and expose them..."

Roy asked the question in his heart:
"Nancy, those imperial merchants are taking this opportunity to help the gray dwarf bandits trade slaves, right?"

"You are quite alert, but they are not helping the gray dwarf bandits to trade slaves. Instead, some Silvermoon Elf nobles, imperial merchants, and gray dwarf bandits have formed a slave trading industry chain. This time they organized a large-scale slave trading operation just to make a fortune." Nancy leaned back on the sofa and said to Roy.

Nancy put the kettle back on the stove and looked up at Roy:

"I don't quite understand why they dare to openly trade slaves under your name? Is it because you are currently unable to control the situation on Kui Island?"

Roy told Nancy about the dwarf commander Machio's attack on Que Island, and then said:
"They probably thought that my army would be wiped out by the gray dwarf bandits on Kuei Island. Even if they can't kill me in one go, I can only stay on Kuei Island and have no power to take care of the Elven Continent."

"But those gray dwarves in the Northern Fleet clearly underestimated me. Now the Partington plane only has tens of thousands more gray dwarf prisoners of war..."

Nancy looked at Roy and asked:

"So you want to take care of this?"

Roy answered decisively:

"Of course, I want to deal with those slave traders from the root. No matter if they are elves, imperials, gray dwarves or other alien races, whoever touches them will die!"

Nancy took out a nautical chart covered with symbols, pointed to a route on it and said:

"After you occupied the waters of Kui Island, their sea route to the south was completely cut off by you."

"Those merchant ships transporting elven slaves need to get sufficient supplies from the port of Murayaki, then continue northward to bypass the port of Saint Margaret in the Evernight Forest, and then follow the coastline of the Mensa Plain to reach the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Gray Dwarf Northern Fleet."

"But this sea route is not easy to travel. It takes them about two weeks to reach Murayaki, and at least more than a month to bypass Port St. Margaret."

"The coastline of the Mensa Plain is even longer. From south to north, it would take at least three or four months to sail if the wind is favorable..."

"So I guess the first ships that transported slaves are now trying to bypass the coastline governed by the night elves."
