Chapter 570 571. Guide
Earl Macaulay put down the teacup in his hand, looked down at the parchment map on the table, and continued:
"According to Earl Swinburne's arrangement, the mine guards will replace the Silver Moon Elf Guards and enter Golfito Canyon to cooperate with the Second Silver Pegasus Knights to complete a three-year garrison mission. Before coming here, Si Earl Wimborne should have revealed this mission to you, right?"
"yes."
Roy answered honestly sitting in his chair.
In fact, Roy really wanted to enter Golfito to have a look. After all, this was once the headquarters of the Temple of Liberty in the Elf Continent...
Seeing that there was no emotional change on Roy's face, Earl Macaulay knocked on the table gently and said: "If the mine guards have any supplies that need to be supplemented, just bring them up. At Murayaki Port, The military supplies are very sufficient. Before entering Golfito, bring as much supplies as possible. If the material transport team wants to enter Golfito later, it will probably have to go through a lot of trouble. After all, from Mulaya The road from Base City to Golfito is not easy.”
Roy thought for a moment before saying: "I just picked out a batch of magic crossbow arrows at the dock. These are enough..."
Earl Macaulay nodded. The half-elf young man in front of him was really ignorant.
Count Macaulay just tried a little, and he didn't expect Roy to come to his side immediately.
Roy's two refusals made Count Macaulay look at him with admiration.
The two did not continue chatting, Roy got up and left.
Count Macaulay walked to a terrace of the tree house and was slightly blown by the wind. Count Macaulay's disturbed mood calmed down a little.
This mission has come to an end. At tonight's banquet, he will represent the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion to express his gratitude to the Silver Moon Elf nobles of Mulayaki City, and then he will take the 5th and 6th Silver Pegasus Legion with him. The Knights of Pegasus return to the lighthouse camp near Castletown.
As for the aftermath, there is no need for him, the deputy commander of the army, to keep an eye on it.
The logistics transport team lost nearly two-thirds of its military supplies, and almost all the medium-sized sailing ships were buried around Io Island. This time the logistics department needed to replenish some of the logistics supplies in Mulayaki City.
However, after the transport team arrives at Mulayaki Port, all the military supplies will be handed over to the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group, and the transport team will be disbanded on the spot.
Now the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group will be renovating in Mulayaki City for a period of time, and the task of assisting the Second Silver Pegasus Knights in entering Golfito garrison has fallen to the Pagisto Plateau Mine Guard Group.
Therefore, these logistical military supplies will be handed over to Roy at Mulayaki Port.
The Silver Moon Elf Guard Group will take the medium-sized sailboats at Murayaki Port and return to Partington Island one after another.
…
Dusk in Mulayaki City,
The Silver Moon elves began to make final preparations for the night celebration. Colorful lights began to be hung in the square. Some wine merchants loaded oak wine barrels onto flatbed trucks and parked them in the corner of the square early. He talked about some fruit wine. Pour it into a wooden cup, and even sprinkle some deliberately to let the aroma of fruit wine spread throughout the square...
More than one open square in Murayaki City is hosting such events.
Viscount Felek wrapped himself in a gray cloak and slipped out of a carriage wearing a black hood.
He quickly walked to the door of the tree house on the street. The gorgeous door of the tree house was pushed open by an elf officer from the inside, and Viscount Felek quickly squeezed in through the gap in the door.
The Silver Moon Elf officer said: "Viscount Feilek, please come with me!"
Viscount Felek waited until the door of the tree house was closed before lifting the hood on his head, revealing his feminine face.
He followed the elf officer into an office, saw Count Macaulay, and immediately walked over quickly, and couldn't wait to say to Count Macaulay: "Count Macaulay, I want to join the Silver Pegasus Legion! "
…
In a manor outside Count Stasa's city, Silver Moon Elf nobles were already entering the manor one after another in carriages.
In the courtyard in front of the manor, an open-air dance floor was arranged next to a fountain. The dance floor was surrounded by thirty-six stone pillars that penetrated into the night sky. A huge arched corridor formed a double arc. This corridor has Countless exquisite reliefs.
The guests who had arrived at the manor were now standing on the stone steps of the corridor. Everyone was standing or sitting, chatting with relaxed and happy expressions.
Naturally, the most talked about battle was the battle on the sea of Io Island during the day. The Silver Pegasus knights of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion were the main targets of discussion among the Silver Moon Elf nobles.
Of course, some Silver Moon elves will talk about how powerful the gray dwarf bandit fleet is, and some Silver Moon elves will talk about how many ships of military supplies the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion lost this time, and some Silver Moon elves will quietly Talking about a fleet of magical airships appearing in the sky.
The Silver Moon Elf nobles who came to Count Strasser's manor all avoided one topic - Countess Strasser's lover.
Amidst the melodious music, the female relatives were hiding their faces and smiling coquettishly. The Silver Moon Elf nobles wore gorgeous costumes and showed off their talents to the beautiful Elf girls around them...
In a small attic not far from the dance floor, Count Stassa sat in a dark room. A beam of blue moonlight passed through the gap in the curtains, leaving a cold trail on the floor.
Count Stasa's face was grim as he stared at a portrait hanging on the wall.
The male elf in the portrait is wearing a handsome military uniform, while a Silver Moon elf woman wearing a white dress is sitting in front of him with a smile, and their hands are tightly clasped together.
There was a ball of anger burning in Count Stasa's heart...
Now all the elves in Mulayaki City know that Countess Stasa's lover is that sissy Viscount Felek.
In just one day, Countess Stasa's romantic affair has become the main topic of discussion among the elves in Mulayaki.
Think of your wife lying on the bed and catering to a Phelek who looks like a female elf with her seductive grace...
Count Stasa stood up, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and slashed at the portrait on the opposite side of the room. A sharp streak of fighting spirit was like a piece of steel, breaking away from the sword's edge and shooting out, instantly hanging on the wall. The portrait on it was split into two.
The portrait fell to the floor with a clang, and Count Strassar took a sip of the sap of the tree of life mixed with some concentration potion.
Count Stasa has sent his wife to a remote ranch manor. It is said that the countess is feeling unwell and is planning to recuperate in the manor there for a while.
Now, Count Strassar just needs to keep his eyes on that guy Felek...
There was a knock on the door, and the butler's voice sounded outside:
"Your Majesty, the dance is about to start..."
The coldness and rage on Count Stasa's face seemed to be suddenly covered with a mask, and instantly turned into a kind and gentle smile, and he responded to the butler at the door:
"Come here!"
…
Earl Macaulay was still sitting in the room where Roy was received, looking at Viscount Feilake who came in and asked for help, with a wry smile on his face.
"Viscount Feilek, although I am the deputy commander of the Silver Pegasus Legion, I have no right to directly recruit the deputy commander of the Security Guard Corps of Mulayaki City into the Silver Pegasus Legion. This is against the rules!"
Count Macaulay thought of what Count Stasa said to him on the dock, and immediately swallowed all other explanations. The look on Viscount Feilake's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, and he asked impatiently:
"Then can I return to the Queen Egwene Islands with you?"
Earl Macaulay hesitated for a moment, but decided to reveal some information.
He didn't want to offend any of the Silver Moon Elf nobles in Mulayaki City.
As the representative of the Silver Moon Elf aristocracy of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, he needs to establish good relations with all the Elf aristocrats.
"The personal friendship between Count Strasser and I goes back to the time when we traveled to the Elf Continent in the same adventure group three hundred years ago!"
"So... Yu Zi, I can't agree to your request."
Earl Macaulay's candid answer made Viscount Felek look desperate...
Earl Macaulay coughed slightly and continued: "But...if you want to leave Murayaki City, I have an idea. Although I will not help you in this matter, you You can enter Golfito with the Second Silver Pegasus Knights! The Silver Pegasus Knights don’t know much about the surroundings of the Villanoz Mountains and need a guide who dares to enter Golfito.”
"And you... have lived in Mulayaki City for so long, so you probably won't be too unfamiliar with Golfito, right?"
Earl Macaulay blinked at Viscount Felek and asked with a smile.
"I'm... quite familiar with Golfito."
Although Viscount Felek didn't want to enter Golfito, the dire situation in front of him made him hold his nose and admit it...
Earl Macaulay smiled proudly:
"That's good, I can pass your information to the mine guard group. The person responsible for receiving you should be Captain Roy of the mine guard group. In the next period of time, you will follow this guard. The group entered Golfito together..."
Before Count Macaulay had finished speaking, an adjutant at the door reminded him:
"My lord, the carriage is ready."
Earl Macaulay walked to a clothes rack, and a row of entourages came in, dressing Earl Macaulay in gorgeous clothes...
Earl Macaulay turned around and said to Viscount Fleck:
"I want to attend Count Stassa's manor ball, and then I will return to the Queen Egwene Islands overnight."
Viscount Philake saluted Earl Macaulay very wisely, and then said: "I wish you a safe journey!"
"Take care of yourself, Viscount Felek."
After Earl Macaulay finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the room surrounded by a group of followers.
Viscount Philake followed Count Macaulay outside the tree house. Count Macaulay refused to stay for a moment and drove away directly in a carriage...
Earl Macaulay soon rode a carriage to the suburban manor, where a group of young Silver Moon Elf men and women danced on the dance floor.
Through the chaotic crowd, Count Macaulay came to the rest area of the ball, where Count Stasa was sitting.
Count Macaulay and Count Stassa sat down and chatted for a few words, and Count Stassa showed a slight smile on his face.
After the dance ended, Count Macaulay did not even stay in Murayaki City for one night before he returned to the lighthouse camp with the fifth and sixth Silver Pegasus Knights.
…
The Second Silver Pegasus Knights and Roy's mine guards will go to Golfito together.
The Silver Pegasus knights will guard around the magic airship, and will also explore the wind layer leading to Golfito for Roy...
The magic airship stayed at Murayaki Port for a whole day. The main purpose was to move all the supplies from the material transport fleet to the magic airship. This time the Silver Pegasus Legion's logistics transport team carried a huge amount of supplies, which was affected by magic. Due to the limited capacity of the airship, not all supplies can be transported.
Some supplies could only be temporarily left in the warehouse at Mulayaki Port, and Roy could only set sail with some more important supplies.
However, this time when setting off from Mulayaki Port, he not only had to go with the Second Silver Pegasus Knights, there was actually a Silver Moon Elf guide in Roy's mine guard group.
Viscount Felek looked melancholy at the blue sea below him. As the magic airship slowly rose into the sky, the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally fell back to its original position.
Before he fell asleep last night, he was even worried that when he woke up in the morning, he would see his tragic death with his head missing.
He can no longer stay in Mulayaki City...
If he had stayed in the city, he would have died sooner or later at the hands of Count Stasa.
Although the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom has long abolished the death penalty, this kind of law cannot restrict Silver Moon Elf nobles like Count Stassar at all.
Although he didn't want to go to Golfito, he considered that if he didn't leave with the mine guards, he would end up dead on the streets...
He obediently ran to the mine guard team to report, and then hid in the cabin of the magic airship. Before the magic airship left Muraayaki Port, he refused to leave the cabin...
Now that he has become the guide of the mine guard group, Viscount Felek's task is to lead this magic airship fleet through the wind layer and enter the Villanoz Mountains. Viscount Felek carefully studied the terrain of the Villanoz Mountains.
The map in the hands of Viscount Felek can be regarded as the most detailed hand-drawn map in the Villanoz Mountains area.
Golfito was originally the headquarters of the Temple of Liberty. For most Silver Moon elves, they had never even heard of this name.
Viscount Felek was able to understand some of Golfito’s situation because he served as the deputy commander of the security guard regiment of Mulayaki City...
With the escort of the Silver Pegasus Knights, along the way, Viscount Felleck's role as guide was more like a decoration.
The magic airship fleet passed through the wind layer and soon arrived at a lake outside Golfito Canyon.
There is no airport terminal built in Golfito Canyon, so the magic airship can only land in the lake so that the mixed-blood elf warriors on board can disembark...
Roy stepped off the magic airship and led the mine guard group into Golfito Canyon.
High Priest Reed introduced this place in his letter, and Roy...
He never thought that one day he would have the opportunity to set foot in this place called Golfito.
