Path of Light.

Chapter 907 Return to the Court of Inquiry
Imperial merchants, mercenaries, and crew members were imprisoned separately in the bottom cabin of the magic airship.

This imperial merchant ship will sail directly to Partington Island, pick up the half-elves stranded on the island, and then sail around the waters south of the Queen Ewenni Islands to Que Island.

Only a few experienced half-elf crew members led these hundreds of half-elfs on this route.

When they set off, Roy also moved some supplies from the magic airship to them.

After the merchant ship arrives at Partington Island, it will also get some supplies from the island...

Roy then took the magic airship back to Castletown Harbor. At this time, Castletown Harbor had completely calmed down. What disappointed Roy was that the port had not sent out a medium-sized sailing ship to chase the imperial merchant ship.

If Roy's magic airship did not dock, they probably would not come to hold him responsible, and they did not care where the hundreds of half-elves on the ship were taken by the imperial merchants.

Castletown Harbour wasn’t like this before…

As the magic airship docked at the deep water area dock, the Silver Moon Elf guards who received the news were already waiting at the dock.

They didn't get on the boat either. It was not until Roy walked out of the boat that the Silver Moon Elf guards surrounded him.

These Silver Moon Elf guards knew Roy, and their looks were somewhat complicated. One of the guard captains came up to Roy, with one hand on the hilt of his sword, his soft silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, his face delicate, and his blue eyes staring at Roy, with the pride that was engraved in the bones of the Silver Moon Elves.

He stood in front of Roy with a straight figure and said directly to him:

"Boss Roy, is this your magic airship?"

"Yes."

Roy stood on the sampan that extended from the magic airship.

Behind him, a group of half-elf crew members stood beside the ship, staring at the Silvermoon Elf guards on the dock with a fierce look in their eyes.

They had a strong aura and did not flinch when confronted by the Silver Moon Elf Guards...

The Silver Moon Elf Captain glanced at the half-elf crew members on the ship, then said to Roy calmly:

"Some people say that you had an argument with an imperial merchant at the dock, and then the merchant ship left the port. Your ship immediately chased after it, and now your ship is returning to the port alone. I would like to ask you, what is the current situation of the imperial merchant ship? Where did he go?"

He looked at the sea and asked Roy.

Roy saw many half-blood elves gathering at the port dock, so he said:

"That imperial merchant ship was running too fast. My ship returned without catching up!"

He wanted to pass by the captain of the Silver Moon Elf Guard...

"Please wait a moment, Boss Roy."

The young Silver Moon Elf captain stopped Roy with his arm and said politely:
"Someone reported you for shooting Imperials with bows and arrows at the dock, so you need to come with me to the guardhouse for investigation."

Roy was a little surprised. He had not asked them to arrest those imperial merchants!

Now they are taking me back to the guardhouse...

Roy stopped and looked at the Silver Moon Elf Captain who had a gloomy look on his face, and said:

"I can go with you to the guardhouse, but I want to know why you let those imperial merchants escape from Castletown Harbor even though you knew they were suspected of trafficking half-elves?"

The captain of the Silver Moon Elf Guard showed a scornful smile on his face and replied:
"Those half-blood elves boarded the merchant ship voluntarily. When boarding the ship, the imperial merchants did not coerce the half-blood elves on the ship, so we have no right to stop them from leaving the port."

His voice was very soft, but there was always a hint of sarcasm in it.

The captain of the Silver Moon Elf Guard continued:

"And they left the port precisely because they had a fight with your ship. Boss Roy, you have now violated the public security regulations of Castletown Port. You must accept our questioning."

He raised his head slightly, and a row of Silver Moon Elf guards behind him drew their elven swords from their waists in unison, all pointing at Roy.

"Roy, don't make things difficult for us."

The Silver Moon Elf Captain said softly.

When the half-elf crew members on the ship saw that the Silver Moon Elf guards dared to draw their swords and point them at their boss, they immediately all grabbed the Storm Bows and put the magic arrows on the bowstrings.

The scene immediately became tense...

Roy raised his head and waved to the half-elf crew members, signaling them to put away the storm bows in their hands.

"I'll go with you..."

……

Roy was very familiar with the guard post in Castletown Harbor.

Still in the most conspicuous location in Castletown Harbor, this two-story wooden building has been repainted and looks brand new.

It’s just that the Silver Moon Elf guards from that time are no longer here, and the current Silver Moon Elf guards are all new faces.

Even though they were new faces, these Silver Moon Elf guards seemed to have heard of Roy's name.

When they heard that Boss Roy had been taken back to the guardhouse, they all passed by him with various excuses and stole glances at him out of the corner of their eyes, both men and women...

A Silver Moon Elf guard sat opposite the long table. There was a piece of parchment on the table. He lowered his head and looked at the words on the parchment. He thought for a long time before looking up.

Said to Roy:
"Boss Roy, I heard that you grew up in Castletown."

Roy leaned back in a chair in the courtroom. He couldn't see the sea from the window of this room, but he could see some buildings in the downtown area.

"Yes, my home is on Brown Street."

The Silver Moon Elf guard lowered his voice and said:
"There are many rumors about you in Buenos Aires. Many people say that you rebelled against the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom with a group of half-blood elves. You should be living in the Partington plane now. What made you give up everything you have in the Partington plane and drift on the Endless Sea with a group of half-blood elves? Now you appear in Castletown Harbor?"

Roy ignored his initiative to get close to him, and snorted and said:
"It seems like I am free to stay wherever I want."

The Silver Moon Elf Guard smiled awkwardly and responded:
"Well, it is indeed your right."

"There was also a fight at that time, and there were some casualties on the Imperial merchant ships?" the Silver Moon Elf Guard asked again.

Roy spread his hands and said innocently: "I don't know if there are any casualties, but now they have escaped. There is no evidence to prove that my crew members harmed those imperial merchants."

The Silver Moon Elf Guard scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to continue asking.

In an instant, the room became quiet.

Roy tapped the table with his knuckles and asked:
"So...can I leave now?"

Roy stood up from his chair. The Silver Moon Elf Guard had no reason to stop him, so he also stood up, ready to end the interrogation.

At this moment, the neighing of war horses was heard outside the guard post, followed by a series of chaotic and hurried footsteps.

The door of Roy's room was open. Through the open door, he could just see a group of Silver Moon Elf guards walking quickly in from outside. The Silver Moon Elf noble leading them was wearing gorgeous magic pattern costumes, and the sword on his waist had a golden scabbard inlaid with several exquisite emeralds.

He walked into the guardhouse and the first thing he saw was Roy in the room.

Then he stopped. His handsome face had a faint smile on it, but when he saw Roy, his eyes immediately turned into cold swords, as if they were going to poke a few holes in Roy's body in the next second.

Roy did not recognize this Silver Moon Elf noble, but from the noble badge on his chest he knew that he was a baron.

The Silver Moon Elf noble walked straight towards Roy, and a Silver Moon Elf guard behind him stepped forward and stopped him.

"Sir, you should say hello to Captain Wilson first!"

"Ok!"

The Silver Moon Elf noble agreed and stopped at the same time.

He withdrew his gaze from Roy, and then his figure disappeared out the door.

From his resentful look, Roy could tell that the Silver Moon Elf noble knew him, but what made Roy helpless was that many Silver Moon Elves knew him, but he didn't know them at all, especially this one who obviously had some kind of grudge against him.

Roy tried hard to think about where he had offended the other party, but he still had no clue after thinking for a long time.

Then the Silver Moon Elf guard who was responsible for taking notes for Roy was told that Boss Roy could not be allowed to leave for the time being.

Roy sat back in the chair, and the Silver Moon Elf Guard could only sit opposite him awkwardly.

……

Not long after, the Silver Moon Elf noble who had just been standing outside the door strode into the room where Roy was.

The Silvermoon Elf guard who was in charge of taking notes quickly slipped out as if he had been pardoned.

The Silver Moon Elf noble with hatred in his eyes sat opposite Roy. Eight Silver Moon Elf guards followed him into the room. Among them, Roy seemed to see a familiar face. It seemed to be Stephen, whom he had dealt with when he was studying at the Elf Academy. He didn't expect that he had graduated from the Elf Academy.

Stephen stood by the wall, looking straight ahead, not even meeting Roy's gaze.

The Silver Moon Elf noble reached out to untie his bow tie, and his gloomy eyes fell on Roy's face:
"Boss Roy, you fought with the Empire merchants at the Castletown Port dock this time, and even used bows and arrows. In the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, non-kingdom troops are prohibited from carrying bows and arrows on a large scale. You have violated the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom's security law, so you may need to face a series of security investigations next."

Roy had expected this, and he asked calmly:
"What? You just left the matter of those imperial merchants defrauding half-blood elves alone and instead said that I violated the public security regulations, right?"

The Silver Moon Elf nobles were well prepared and responded immediately:

"We have no solid evidence that the imperial merchants deceived the half-elves, but you don't think we are wrongly accusing you of hiding a large number of bows and arrows on your ship, do you?"

"I heard that your people also shot and killed quite a few Imperial sailors, forcing them to leave the port in a hurry."

"I now charge you with provoking trouble and find you guilty of violating the security law of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom."

Then he turned his head and ordered in an unquestionable tone:

"Bring Boss Roy back to the court."

The eight Silver Moon Elf guards in the room immediately stepped forward, ready to subdue Roy and escort him out.

Seeing that Roy showed no sign of resistance, the Silver Moon Elf noble sat on the chair with a smile of victory on his face.

Two Silver Moon Elf guards held down Roy's shoulders...

He stood up and walked to Roy, whispering:
"I have always wanted to arrest you, but I have never had a good chance. This time you finally fell into my hands. Next, I will let you have a taste of being tried in public..."

Then his voice returned to normal, and he said:
"Let's go, Boss Roy."

Roy did not try to resist because...

There were nearly a hundred Silver Moon Elf guards standing outside the guard station.

While this Silver Moon Elf noble was talking to Roy, the Silver Moon Elf guards outside were ready to go...

Roy was escorted to a black iron carriage. The entire carriage was made of black iron. Riveting technology was used in many places of the carriage, making it look like a mobile prison.

Seeing Roy being escorted onto a carriage by a team of Silver Moon Elf guards, Leah hid in the dark and did not dare to show up.

Roy gestured for her to go find Moira and Sabrina. Leia waited until the carriage and the team of Silver Moon Elf guards had all left before she carefully retreated to a safe place and ran all the way to Brown Street.

……

The iron carriage arrived at the court in the upper town of Castletown, and Roy walked out of the carriage.

Looking up at the solemn and majestic building in front of me, Ralph was tried in this courtroom. The scene is still vivid in my mind.

Unexpectedly, today, Roy was also brought here by a group of Silver Moon Elf guards.

If the charges against Roy are proven, he will also stand trial...

However, as for the fact that the crew members on the magic airship carried bows and arrows, Roy felt that they could use this to convict him.

On the contrary, he was very interested in the identity of this Silver Moon Elf noble and wanted to know why he was so hostile to him...

Just as he was being escorted off the carriage, he heard Stephen, a classmate he had dealt with several times at the Elf Academy, suddenly shouting to the Silver Moon Elf nobles:

"Lord Alvis, which cell should we take Roy to?"

Roy's heart moved. Alvis, he was very familiar with this name.

Thinking that Lord Alvis is probably still in the prison on Palram Island picking up soap, there is no way he can escape.

Then this Silver Moon Elf Baron named Alvis should be his brother or child...

"Cell No. 7. I will come with the deputy chief judge to try him later."

The noble baron named Alvis stopped for a moment, then hurried upstairs, as if he didn't want to stop for a moment.

Roy was taken to an interrogation room, which was not a public place like a court trial, but a very small interrogation room. Roy was restrained in a reclining chair with his hands and feet shackled.

There was a row of chairs opposite, and two clerks were already sitting obediently on the edge with their parchment notebooks in their hands.

Then three more Silver Moon Elf officials walked into the room and sat with the two clerks. They held a thin piece of information in their hands and were whispering to each other.
