Chapter 757 758. Meeting
Roy had a chart of all areas of the Endless Sea compiled by Abbot himself. Seeing that many of the lines in the chart Mrs. Nancy took out were blurry, he started from He took out the set of nautical charts organized by Abt from the magic waist bag and dug out the nautical chart of the waters near the Queen Evenni Islands.
As expected, Abut's chart is much more comprehensive and clear. Many islands even have rough distances marked on them. What's even more exaggerated is that Abut actually marked the direction of the ocean currents and even included notes on it. Wrote which months of the year are more suitable for sailing.
“Your set of nautical charts is quite complete. The person who drew this set of charts must have put a lot of thought into it.” Mrs. Nancy gave a rare compliment.
"He was my close friend Abt. Unfortunately, he died. I killed him myself." Roy said calmly while holding the chart.
This incident has been going on for so long, and he has slowly begun to let go...
Mrs. Nancy was a little surprised and asked Roy: "Is there a reason why he must die?"
Roy He nodded and said: "He killed our mutual best friend Jasper for a treasure map he picked up from the gray dwarves. I searched for him for a long time and finally found him in the Partington plane, and Bundle He captured Castletown..."
Mrs. Nancy pursed her lips, tapped Roy's shoulder and said, "No wonder many Silver Moon elves said you killed him in the Partington plane. Many Silver Moon elves, and even Silver Moon elves nobles, seem to think that these things are not just groundless."
"Some people must be punished if they do something wrong." Roy said matter-of-factly.
Mrs. Nancy smiled, looked at the chart that Roy took out, pointed to an island above and said:
"In recent years, gray dwarf bandits have always attacked the Queen Egweni Islands. According to some According to the clues brought by the merchants, I guess there is a group of gray dwarf bandits hiding on the island.”
Roy didn’t know what Mrs. Nancy did before, but she was very familiar with this sea. Always know something that others don't know.
Also more knowledgeable than many elves...
……
After Roy came out of Mrs. Nancy's house, he came to the pier of Partington Island. He found a medium-sized sailboat on the pier that was about to go to the Queen Evennie Islands, and rushed to the Queen Evennie Islands overnight.
On the medium-sized sailboat, Roy can enjoy a separate cabin. Almost all the Silver Moon Elf captains know Roy...
After all, in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, The only half-elf with the status of leader is Roy.
For officers who have never met Roy, they only need to take a look at the regimental commander's badge on his chest to know his identity.
After all, the Partington Mine Guards are still very famous in the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. They achieved brilliant results twice in the Queen Egwene Islands, and also went to Golfito Canyon for execution. The mission is to let the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion float over the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp.
More officers know the name 'Roy' because the Council of Senior Elf Elders has been investigating Captain Roy for several years, suspecting that he illegally killed the Silver Moon Elf nobles.
Now the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion is preparing to evacuate from the Partington plane, and the mine guard regiment is also facing forced disbandment.
There are also several theories circulating in the Silver Pegasus military headquarters about where Commander Roy will go.
Roy lay in the cabin and waited until the medium-sized sailboat docked at the new pier of Queen's Island before he walked out and was the first to step off the medium-sized sailboat.
On this new dock, a Silver Moon Elf officer came up, stood in front of Roy, and said to him:
"Captain Roy, Lord Swinburne knows that you may arrive at Queen's Island in the next two days, and specially arranged for me to wait for you here." The Silver Moon Elf officer saluted Roy and said very respectfully.
"I would like to see Lord Swinburne, is it convenient now?" Roy asked directly.
"The Earl is waiting for you in the office, please come with me..."
The officer walked out along the sampan set up on the pier, passed through the beach and the rainforest, and finally came Go to the tree of life.
Some Silver Moon Elf guards stood under the steps of the Tree of Life. Roy stepped up the steps. This time when he came to the Queen Egwene Islands, he always felt a little strange. It seemed that there were many eyes around him. Look at him.
Roy didn't care about those looks at all...
Walking into the first floor hall of the Tree of Life, there was a large space here. Roy raised his head as if aware of it, and happened to see Earl Swinburne standing there. On the terrace on the third floor, he was observing the situation in the lobby on the first floor from a high position.
Roy immediately thought of Earl Swinburne and gave a military salute. The Earl looked a little tired and just raised his hand slightly.
......
When Roy walked into Earl Swinburne's office, the Earl sat on a chair, looked up at Roy, and asked him:
"How is the situation in the Partington plane?"
Roy introduced the war in the western sea, mainly talking about the Kraken Legion's frequent heavy losses to the Faceless Men Legion.
Earl Swinburne was a little surprised and asked Roy: "You mean that the Kraken tribe is currently serving as the main army to resist the Dark Faceless Army?"
"Well. Although the darkness The Faceless Legion has occupied the entire western sea, but the Kraken Legion has been reorganized and has fought three beautiful raids during this period...Does the Partington plane have to be abandoned?"
< br>Roy couldn't help but ask.
Earl Swinburne nodded and said:
“The Council of High Elf Elders has made a final decision to stop the supply of all military supplies to the Partington plane and ordered the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to be deployed in two Withdraw from the plane within a month, and the portal will be closed in three months, completely cutting off the connection with the Partington plane."
"..."
Roy wanted to speak. , and I don’t know what to say.
At this time, he thought of what Mrs. Nancy said.
The Mine Guard Group can only exist in the Partington plane. Once the Partington plane is lost, the Mine Guard Group will also be disbanded.
Even if these mixed-blood elves take off their standard armor, they may not be able to return to the Elf Continent.
Roy asked Earl Swinburne:
"What about the Mine Guards? Is the Legion going to completely abandon the mines on the Pagisto Plateau?"
"The military has almost no binding force on the Partington Plane Mine Guard Group. , your military expenditure also comes from the mines on the Pagisto Plateau. If the mines on the Pagisto Plateau still need the protection of the guard group, it is not a bad idea to stay, but after closing the portal, the mine guarding group will Cut off contact with the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion.”
Earl Swinburne said directly.
He stared at Roy, trying to find something hidden in Roy's eyes.
He even predicted that the mixed elves would not leave the Partington plane, or that only a small number of mixed elves would return to the elven continent.
Roy saw a lot of things from the Earl's eyes. Roy always thought that Earl Swinburne was very friendly to the mixed elves and was a rare affinity sect in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. That's what happened.
Roy lowered his head and considered it, and suddenly said to Earl Swinburne:
"I will transport the magic metal ingots stored in various mines to Partington Island. This may be the last thing I can do. The mine guards will not withdraw from the Partington plane, even if Partington The plane portal is closed, and I will stay there."
Hearing what Roy said, Earl Swinburne nodded with satisfaction. "Tell me about it. Is there anything else I can do to help?"
"I want to fight the gray dwarf bandits again before the portal closes. Capture a group of gray dwarf prisoners of war and take them to the Partington plane. From now on, Pagisto The miners in various mines on the plateau will become these gray dwarves. My magic airship fleet needs to return to Partington Island through the portal. Give me two weeks."
Earl Swinburne thought about it seriously. Agree:
"Okay, I will find a way to apply for a teleportation pass. It only takes two weeks. Don't stay at sea for too long. When the time comes, I will dispatch two Silver Pegasus Knights to assist you."
Roy This time he came to see Earl Swinburne just to test it out one last time. He already knew the answer from Lady Nancy.
Earl Swinburne's tone was still extremely gentle.
But Roy knew that the two Silver Pegasus Knights were sent here to assist in the battle, but rather to monitor the mine guard group.
"Thank you, Lord Swinburne."
Sometimes he had to say things he didn't mean, which annoyed Roy.
“A plane war broke out in the Green Empire. The human lords are actively resisting the dark army of the Abyss. Why can’t the elves?”
In the end, Roy couldn’t help but hate Swinburne. asked the Count.
“Because elves cannot reproduce in large numbers like humans, war will only cause the elves to quickly reduce their population. This is the last thing we want to see, so the High Elf Elders Council hopes that in the budding plane war When the time comes, we will cut off contact with you there."
Earl Swinburne replied without changing his expression.
"Then I will make some preparations first. A week later, I will personally take the magic airship through the portal of Partington Island, and then fly directly to Jigan Island on the eastern edge of the Queen Egwene Islands, using that island as a temporary supply camp , Searching for the hiding place of gray dwarf bandits in the depths of the endless sea."
After Roy finished speaking, he stood up on his own initiative and saluted Earl Swinburne.
The look in Earl Swinburne's eyes was a bit complicated. I wonder if he regretted it...
Roy took out all the magic metal ingots in the Pagisto Plateau to pay for the mine. The guard group bought a teleportation ticket in the hope of building a teleportation gate on an island outside the territory of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.
After settling Earl Swinburne's side, Roy also needs to find a way to meet Archmage Cedric.
He needs the help of the great magician Cedric to move the portal to the island with an active volcano.
Less than two hours after arriving at the Queen Evening Islands, Roy found that he had completed the purpose of his trip, and now he could go to the dock to wait for the boat.
The beach near the pier is full of scorch marks, and it will take a long time to restore the original scenery.
In the clear water, there are many charred ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Some of the ships that have sunk to the bottom of the sea have even become hiding places for fish.
There are very frequent ships between Queen Island and Partington Island, and soon Roy boarded a medium-sized sailing ship and left Queen Evenney Island...
...
Two days later, Roy walked out of the Castletown Port Pier. He took a carriage directly to the Magic Guild, and took the Magic Guild's teleportation gate to reach Waupeye City.
Roy could not find Grand Magister Cedric, but he knew that Grimes was in Waupeye.
As long as you find Grimes, you will know the news about Magister Ellaud, and then you can find Grand Magister Cedric through Magister Ellaud.
Although Roy's pockets are full of magic crystals, the expensive transmission fee still makes him feel a little pain...
After walking out of the teleportation hall, Roy stood alone at the street corner.
It was raining in the magical city of Vaupeye. A fine drizzle fell on Roy, so he had to put on a magic cloak.
Soon he found a carriage. He told the coachman the address and then got into the carriage. He did not close the door after sitting in the carriage. Instead, he asked the air at the door of the carriage: "You two Why are you standing outside, come in quickly, I'm in a hurry!"
At this time, the two dark moon elf assassin hybrids hiding in the shadows quickly revealed themselves, quickly got into the car, and then And quickly disappeared.
Roy just pretended that the two of them did not exist. This time he returned to the Elf Continent. Although Roy brought Leah with him, when he came to Wopeye City, Roy chose two Dark Moon Elf assassin warriors. .
The carriage was driving through the rain, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
The melodious time-telling music came from the magic clock tower in the distance, and the rainwater flowed down the culvert on the street...
Roy stood in front of a magic workshop and knocked hard. door.
A young magic apprentice pushed open the door and walked out and asked Roy: "We are not open to the public here. Who are you looking for?"
"Is Magician Grimes here? ? If you are here, please tell him that Roy from the Partington plane is here to see him. " Roy said standing outside the door.
The young magic apprentice looked at Roy curiously, pushed open half of the wooden door, and asked Roy to come in and take shelter from the rain.
"Please wait at the door, I will report to the teacher..."
The magic apprentice has a very soft voice and a good personality. His legs are a bit pinched when he walks, but he is A male elf magic apprentice.
Roy quickly looked away.
Soon Grimes came to the door, put his arms around Roy's neck, and said to Roy with a smile: "Why do you come to me again so soon? Have you already thought about it... How to let Roy Did I help you?”
Roy nodded and asked Grimes: "Grimes, have you heard? The Silver Moon Elf Kingdom is preparing to abandon the Partington plane. They are preparing to close the portal on Partington Island, so currently on The mixed-race elves living in the Partington plane will probably stay in the Partington plane."
"So serious?"< br>
Roy nodded: "I am here this time just to ask for your help in moving this portal to other islands."
"Huh? You actually made such a request... ...I am not a space magician, you have to ask Oppa and her teacher Jonas for this kind of thing," Grimes said to Roy.
"But I can only find you..."
Roy said to Grimes.
