Path of Light.

Chapter 902 903. New Life

In the captain's room, Roy stood by the wall.

Hanging on the wall next to him was a huge nautical chart, which covered the entire wall.

From the sea chart, you can see the Evernight Forest where the Dark Moon Elves are located, the Mensa Plains where the Orcs tribe is located, and the entire west coast...

Roy glanced at the great magician Grahams and said,

"The last time I came to Castletown Harbor, I made a promise to the half-blood elves here, saying that I would hire an imperial merchant ship to take them to Que Island."

At this point, Roy's eyes revealed a hint of regret.

He continued:

"I handed this matter over to Darwin, the merchant of the Empire. The news spread quickly among the merchants of the Empire. Not only that, but the news also spread among the half-blood elves. Many half-blood elves rushed to various ports, waiting for the ships to take them to Kuei Island."

The elves sitting around immediately realized where the problem lay. They all came from Kui Island.

"But the problem now is that, apart from the Imperial merchant Darwin who sent a batch of half-blood elves to Kui Island, only the Imperial merchant Moses sent four ships of half-blood elves."

Roy tapped his forehead irritably and said to everyone:
"But he not only sent us half-elves, but also brought a hundred thousand gray dwarves. Now I know that Commander Machio belongs to the gray dwarf's Northern Fleet."

Sisters Moira and Sabrina looked at each other, and they also understood what Roy meant.

"Now, the imperial merchants have transported a large number of half-blood elves from various ports in the Elf Continent, but these half-blood elves have not been sent to Kuei Island. Our magic airship sailed all the way from Kuei Island, and we did not see a single imperial merchant ship along the way."

Roy pointed to the chart, all the way up to the west coast of the Mensa Plain, and said:
"According to reliable intelligence provided by the Adventure Guild of the Elf Continent, this group of half-elves were tricked onto the Imperial merchant ships by the conspiracy of some Silver Moon Elf nobles, Gray Dwarf bandits, and Imperial merchants. Currently, these Imperial merchant ships have sailed to Durrag's Knee in the north, and then sailed westward along the border between the Frozen Sea and the Endless Sea. Their ultimate destination may be the Green Empire."

There was already a red circle where his finger was.

"So I plan to mobilize all magic airships to intercept these imperial merchant ships here."

Roy placed his hand on the red circle. To most elves, the coastline of the orc tribe-occupied area was unfamiliar and mysterious...

The great magician Grams couldn't help but stood up, staring at Roy and asked:

"Are you saying that many half-blood elves were tricked by the imperial merchants onto the ship and then transported to Roland Continent?"

Roy said angrily, "Well, I didn't expect so many merchants from the Empire would dare to trade slaves in the Elf Continent. Not only that, but at various ports and docks on the Elf Continent, there are actually Silver Moon Elf nobles who provide them with some convenient conditions..."

Sabrina looked up at Roy and asked him:
"Didn't you say that those slave ships dare not take this trade route?"

Roy scratched his head helplessly and responded, "After we occupied the waters of Kui Island, these slave ships seemed to be less likely to come here. Not only did the slave ships not dare to come here, but how many gray dwarf pirate ships have you seen during this period?"

"The gray dwarf bandits in the waters of Kui Island have all abandoned the island and fled."

"I guess... next, the Gray Dwarf's Northern Fleet will definitely make a big move."

The great magician Grams touched his chin and finally realized where Roy wanted him to collect 20,000 giant magic crossbow arrows.

Judging from the situation, it seems that these imperial merchants are going to be buried directly at sea.

"So you want to intercept those imperial merchant ships that are carrying half-elf slaves on the west coast of the orc tribe?"

Roy nodded:

"Yes, and I plan to mobilize the Griffin Cavalry Regiment in Sun Island Bay to set off with the fleet..."

"Speaking of which, this matter was caused by me. If I hadn't made that promise at the beginning, the half-blood elves would never have trusted those imperial merchants."

At this point, Roy turned his head and looked at Rigarde, the half-elf captain of the magic airship No. 4, who was standing in the corner of the captain's room, and said to him:
"Rigad, take the magic airship No. 4 and fly back to Kui Island overnight."

"If we can cross Queen Eweni Island tonight, we can fly all the way to Kui Island and land there."

"If we fail to cross the Queen Eweni Islands before dawn due to route problems, we can choose to land in the sea and raise the sail."

"At this time, try not to conflict with the Silver Pegasus Knights of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion."

"When you arrive at Kuei Island, you must go to the plateau city of Partington as soon as possible. Give this letter to Mulin and ask her to mobilize the Griffin Cavalry Regiment and magic airships. When I return to Kuei Island, I hope most of the magic airships will be parked at the dock of Kuei Island."

Rigard is the nephew of Leishande, and is considered a half-elf who has been working with Roy since the beginning.

"Got it, boss."

In the afternoon, two magic airships left Partington Harbor and sailed towards Castletown Harbor.

When it was completely dark, Magic Airship No. 3 began to sail at full speed ahead...

Magic airship number four began to slow down...

Eventually the two ships lost sight of each other.

At this time, all the floating devices of Magic Airship No. 4 were activated. The magic airship quietly rose into the air in the darkness, and after entering the wind flow layer, it flew in the opposite direction...

……

In the cabin on the left side of the first floor of Magic Airship No. 3,
Ai Bisenfan lay in front of the glass window, looking at the dark night outside, turned around and shouted to her best friend who was sitting in front of the dressing table:
"Nanya, the other ship is gone, now there's only one ship left."

"That's nothing! It's so dark outside now. If the speeds of these two magic airships are different and the angles of their sails are slightly different, they may separate. When tomorrow is daytime, the two ships will meet again in the agreed sea area..."

Miss Nanya said solemnly.

Miss Abisenfan thought what her best friend said made sense, so she shifted her attention away.

Magic airship No. 3 sailed at full speed all night. When it was dawn, Nana got out of the bathtub, stepped on the floor all wet, leaving a row of wet footprints on the floor.

She came to the window and opened the curtains. The sunlight outside was very dazzling...

There were many half-elf crew members busy on the deck, and just in front of them, a stretch of land with no end in sight appeared.

"Abisenfan, look over there...it should be the Elf Continent!" Miss Nania shouted.

Ai Bisenfan quickly got out of the bathtub, covered her trembling chest with one hand, and moved closer to Miss Nania, looking at the scenery outside the window:
"Is the entire line land? How big is this land? Is it as big as the Endless Sea?"

Miss Nania hesitated and said:

"Uh, it should be smaller than the Endless Sea."

"Let's go to the rooftop and take a look."

Miss Abisenfan dragged Miss Nania towards the door...

"Hey! Abisenfan, wait a minute, let's put on our clothes before going out."

……

Miss Nania and Miss Abisenfan were wearing long skirts with mermaid patterns, leaning against the railing on the roof, looking towards the Castletown Harbor in the distance.

In their sight, a sculpture of a female Silver Moon elf warrior holding a long sword appeared, and the entire Castletown city became more three-dimensional...

The huge port pier was already full of ships. "The ship has slowed down. That's the port pier. There are so many ships moored there!"

Miss Abisenfan exclaimed.

It was her first time to arrive at the port of the Elf Kingdom, so she was naturally very excited...

"Ms. Nania, Miss Abisenfan, I see you are here. Please allow me to introduce Castletown Port to you. I have lived in this port for nearly eight years and I am very familiar with this area."

Miss Tiffany walked up the stairs and said to the two Naga mermaids:

"This is one of the eight deep-water ports in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. However, because it is the closest to the Buenos Aires Royal City, it is also the most prosperous seaport in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom..."

"We will dock at the deepwater pier over there in a moment. Do you want to stay on the boat and rest for a while, or get off the boat and go for a walk in the city? I will accompany you the whole time."

Abisonfan was a little surprised. It was originally agreed that Roy would come in person to serve as their guide, but now only Miss Tiffany showed up.

"Where is Boss Roy? Aren't you going to be our guide?"

Miss Tiffany explained, "Originally, Boss Roy was going to be your guide and take you to visit this beautiful elf city, but now Boss Roy has suddenly encountered something urgent. When he finishes his work, he will rush over to meet us."

"After all, there are some sightseeing projects that only Boss Roy can do..."

Hearing what Miss Tiffany said, Miss Abisenfan could only agree:

"Okay then! After we get off the boat, where should we go first? Of course, the busiest market in the downtown area..."

Miss Tiffany pointed in the direction of the market, and from afar they could see many half-elves gathered there, which made Miss Nania and Miss Abisenfan excited and a little scared. After all, it was a completely unfamiliar place, and it was not in the sea.

……

Magic airship number three docked and immediately caused quite a commotion.

The Silver Moon Elf guards at Castletown Harbor knew who the magic airship belonged to without even having to look carefully when they saw the floating devices on both sides of the ship.

Many half-blood elves at the dock knew very well that Boss Roy's ship had docked.

Many half-blood elves gathered towards the magic airship...

Moira and Sabrina changed into dresses that ordinary half-elf girls wore and sneaked out of the magic airship.

The two of them were going to the fish market at the port.

Normally at this time, Mrs. Gillian would be selling fish at the market.

The fish market is still as lively and noisy as before, with all kinds of sea fish displayed everywhere.

The half-elves do heavy physical labor in Castletown, so they have to buy fish at the fish market almost every day.

The two sisters were very familiar with the fish market and soon arrived in front of Ms. Gillian's stall.

Ms. Gillian was cutting a piece of red tuna meat. She saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye and raised her head to ask:
"Why are you back?"

She was very skillful and her fish-cutting knife was very sharp. She cut the fish in two or three strokes. Then she stuck the fish-cutting knife on the chopping board and looked at her eldest daughter and youngest daughter with great joy...

"We missed you, so we came back to see you."

Sabrina went behind the fish counter, where she used to come almost every day, to help Jillian cut fish.

Now it seems like my techniques are a little rusty.

Moira seldom came to the fish market. Most of the time she was either at home alone or went to the beach with Roy.

"Where's that kid Roy?"

Ms. Gillian looked around and asked.

"He's busy with other things," Sabrina explained.

"Did he bully you?"

"No," Sabrina said to Ms. Jillian.

Ms. Gillian asked again: "How are you doing over there? I heard about it, but I don't think it's true. Is it really as good as the rumors say?"

Sabrina said:

"Some parts are greatly exaggerated. It may be the work of the merchants of the empire."

At this time, an elf came to buy fish.

Ms. Gillian put the remaining fish into an iron bucket, told the customers that she would not sell any fish today, and with the help of her eldest daughter, she quickly cleared the fish stall.

As the mother and daughter pushed the cart away from the bustling fish market, Ms. Gillian continued to ask Sabrina:

"Aren't the merchants of the Empire doing things for you?"

Sabrina pursed her lips and said, "Actually...no!"

Ms. Gillian realized that something was wrong, and she asked Sabrina:
"Sabrina, what the hell is going on?"

Sabrina quickly told Ms. Gillian about the incident. She could only give a brief summary of many things, but she still mentioned the fact that the Empire merchants teamed up with the gray dwarf bandits to sell half-blood elves:
"That's pretty much it."

Ms. Gillian whispered in horror:

"How dare these greedy and cunning imperial merchants do such a terrible thing!"

Although Ms. Gillian was frightened, her complexion was really good, her skin was glowing, and she seemed to have suddenly become several years younger.

When they arrived at the familiar Brown Street, it had not been long since Moira and Sabrina left home, and both sides of the street were still the same.

But this time when I came back, my mood was very different from before. I felt that everything I saw was extremely familiar.

The mother and her two daughters arrived at the door and Ms. Gillian opened it.

Moira found that many things in the yard had been replaced, and there was even a small garden with some lavender and rosemary planted in it, which Ms. Gillian did not like.

Although the two sisters felt a little strange, they didn't think much about it.

Moira ran to the door of the house with brisk steps, pushed it open, and saw a row of fishing rods hanging on the wall cabinet at the door.

She walked to the door of her room with some doubts, pushed it open, and although the bed and wardrobe were still there, they were covered with dust, obviously they had not been cleaned for a long time.

At this moment, a half-elf man came out of Ms. Gillian's room. He was wearing pajamas, yawning and saying in a daze:

"Hey, why are you back so early today?"
