Chapter 679 680. The abandoned Temple of Liberty
Whether an elf city is prosperous and stable depends on whether there are many elf children in the city.
The fertility of pure-blood elves is particularly low, and some elves may even remain childless throughout their lives. Therefore, in many elven cities, those elven children will receive the utmost care and love.
The initial reason for the rise of mixed-blood elves was that the fertility of mixed-blood elves had significantly improved.
Perhaps due to the fusion of bloodlines, when elves of different races are combined, the chance of pregnancy can be increased by at least ten times.
Therefore, there are a lot of mixed-blood elf children in Padstow City. You can always see some elf children chasing balls in the streets and alleys. Their laughter even makes the sky in Padstow City turn into seven colors. .
With these mixed-blood elf children, the whole city has a kind of vitality.
Roy rode a carriage through the streets of Padstow City. He remembered the first time he came to Padstow City. At that time, there was no street planning in the city, and there were trees everywhere under the trees. On some forest paths, the elves built some small flower beds under some trees. These paths are intertwined to form a network in the city.
But now Padstow City has changed its original appearance due to rapid expansion.
The closer you get to the center of the city, the wider the streets here will become. There is even a large square under the Tree of Life that can accommodate a gathering of five thousand elves...
Many magic fountains have been added to the city, and these fountains are basically at crossroads or small squares.
In addition to magic fountains, statues, pools, and low shrub walls are also common.
In addition to the large number of shops that have appeared in Padstow City in recent years, there are also many orange shops. The elves like to call the fruit shops orange shops, and they like to hang an orange shop outside the fish shop. The fish-shaped thin iron plate will sway back and forth whenever there is a breeze in the forest. The exquisitely made iron plate will look like a flying fish flying through the wind and waves in the sea...
Standing casually on the street After a while, you can see many mixed elven gatherers carrying bamboo baskets on their backs. Roy can even tell what magic herbs are in his bamboo basket from the exposed part of the bamboo basket.
There are so many mixed-blood elf collectors, but Silvermoon merchants complain every day that it is really difficult to purchase magic herbs in Padstow City...
...
Roy did not buy a tree house in Padstow City. In order to facilitate the transportation of herbs and magic metals from the Padstow Plateau to Castletown City, he built a tree house in Padstow City. I bought an orchard on the outskirts of Tuocheng.
This orchard has always been the secret pick-up point for Lysander's pack team. When the magic airship first entered the Partington plane, it also hovered over the orchard and shipped a large amount of fruit to Pagisto. From the plateau.
Due to the unique terrain of the mountains near this orchard, there is only one road into the mountains, so the privacy of this orchard is very high.
Three thousand human priests of the Knights Templar now live here temporarily. When Roy entered the manor, the courtyard of the manor’s residential area was filled with boxes of apples. In Padstow City There are very few breadfruit trees here, and you can always see large apple orchards outside the city.
Roy saw that the human priests had put on the fine linen robes that the mixed elves liked to wear. They were sitting together in the courtyard and loading the picked apples into wooden boxes with hay.
These human priests have improved a lot, and Roy can even feel that they have a little bit of the power of holy light in them.
It is a pity that the Holy Light of the Statue of Liberty can no longer shine on the Elf Continent, and the human priests cannot quickly restore the power of the Holy Light through prayer.
A carriage drove into the manor and stopped in the manor yard.
The carriage door was opened quickly by the coachman, and Roy and Tennyson stepped out of the carriage.
Captain Jeroin stood up from the piled apple box and took the lead to greet Roy and Tennyson.
Captain Flint and Commander Dickas followed closely behind. The three captains all wanted to see Roy and talk to Roy about the next steps of the Templar Knights. The road...
Roy did not stop in the yard, but walked directly into the dining room of the manor. There were long tables and benches, and the dining room was open enough for everyone to talk about things. .
"The Templars have been here for two days, and they probably have a clear understanding of the situation in the Partington plane. Do the three leaders have any ideas?"
Roy looked. asked the three group leaders.
Captain Jeroin sat in the middle. He had the most contact with Roy, so it was up to him to do the talking.
“Captain Roy, first of all, thank you for taking the risk to bring us out of the dark land. The Partington plane is also very good. It has vast forests and rich magical herbs. It is a rich and livable place. Plane, although this place is good, we still hope to return to the Green Empire of Roland Continent. After all, we have been away from home for so long, and we really want to go home and have a look."
After Captain Jeroin finished speaking. , looked at the other two group leaders.
Flint and Captain Dickas also nodded quickly, expressing their agreement with Captain Jeroin's point of view.
The three team leaders did not hesitate and took out some Warcraft materials directly from their magic pockets and placed them on the long dining table. Almost all of these Warcraft materials were obtained from high-level Warcraft above level 4. High-end goods, if you throw any one into the magic market, you can sell it for a lot of money.
The long dining table is filled with magic materials...
"Captain Roy, in order to express our gratitude, we have specially prepared this for you."
I don’t know these magics either. It took them a long time to accumulate the materials, which would allow them to bring them back from the dark land. These dark monster materials must be difficult to obtain. Roy had done business in this type of magic materials some time ago. These dark monsters The materials are worth a lot of money.
He thought for a moment and then said to Captain Jeroin:
“The reason why I am willing to bring you back from the dark place is just because we have the relationship behind us. Friendship comes from the mutual help between friends. One day I wandered to the Green Empire and asked for help from you. I think you will not refuse me..."
"These Dark Warcraft materials are not that important to me, but for you, they may be able to exchange for a ticket back to the Green Empire."
"I know several human businessmen, and my idea is... ...You can meet those human merchants, or you can try to contact other human merchants. You can first understand the current situation of the Green Empire. If they are willing to take you back to the Green Empire, I will help you board the ship safely."
< br> "Now there are many imperial merchants buying magic herbs in the Elf Continent. I heard that a large-scale plane war is currently breaking out in Roland Continent. It is said that the Dark Legion is invading the plane. You'd better know more about the situation in Roland Continent. "
Roy's words naturally moved the three captains very much...
Captain Jeroin heard that a plane war broke out in the Roland continent and said: < br>
"Then it is even more necessary for us to go back and take a look. The Temple of Liberty and the royal family of the Green Empire have a covenant to jointly resist foreign enemies. Every time a war breaks out in the Green Empire, the priests will be assigned to various armies and fight with the army." Roy Nodding,
"Well, it just so happens that tonight the portal in the central square of Padstow City leads from here to Partington Island. How many of you can send later?" Representatives will go to Partington Island with me. You can also bring these Warcraft materials with you. Empire merchants have stronger purchasing power than Elf merchants. If the price is right, sell these Warcraft materials to them. "< br>
Captain Jeroin also wanted to say a few words to Roy, urging him to accept these Warcraft materials...
Roy patted Captain Jeroin on the shoulder and urged. ：
"Let's go, the one-way portal in Padstow City won't be waiting for us."
...
The carriage carried Roy, Tennyson, and Jeroin. The Captain and Captain Flint left Apple Manor, while Captain Dickas stayed in the manor.
It is impossible for all three captains to go, someone must stay here...
Tennyson got off the car halfway. He did not follow Roy to the Elf Continent. Dark people like him It will be very troublesome for the moon elves to pass through the plane portal, unless a large-scale elf army passes through, letting them, the dark moon elves, mix in.
Every time he passed through the portal, Roy would be recognized by the mixed elf guard warriors.
The mixed-blood elf guard saluted Roy with some excitement.
Roy waved to the mixed elf guard, then quickly passed through the portal and arrived at the center of Partington Town. There was actually a very lively shopping street here, and the products in the shops were also There is a dazzling array of magic herbs in many shops, but the prices of those magic herbs are not cheap.
Few mixed-blood elves would stop in front of this kind of shop, but some Silver Moon elves would stand in front of the shop and ask questions...
Roy asked the two group leaders After introducing Partington Island, the three of them came to the island pier and boarded a medium-sized sailing ship carrying the flag of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. As the medium-sized sailing ship was filled with various goods, the medium-sized sailing ship was Sail to Castletown Harbor under the setting sun.
The brackish sea breeze cheered up Captain Jeroin and Captain Flint. They seemed to be looking forward to meeting the imperial merchants.
The medium-sized sailboat sailed in the sea for a night, and Roy even told the two captains Jeroin and Flint about the elves' knowledge of the star map.
This night, Jeroin and Flint stayed up almost all night. It was very bumpy for a medium-sized sailboat to sail in the sea, and the wind and waves happened to be very strong that night. They arrived in Cardiff early in the morning. When they arrived at the port of Sildun, the two group leaders were both mentally exhausted and looked very bad.
The number of imperial merchant ships arriving at the deep water dock has increased to more than a dozen, and these large sailing ships have crowded the deep water dock.
In the morning at Castletown Port, countless flying fish boats rushed out from the dock. The mixed-blood elves stood on the boats and manipulated the wings with both hands. These flying fish boats looked like flying fish that were constantly jumping on the sea surface.
The morning sun bathes the entire city of Castletown, and the densely packed buildings in the lower town make the entire city look very spectacular.
The statue of the Silver Moon female elf on the top of the mountain is just under the shade of the Tree of Life. She holds a long bow in her hand and points to the vast endless sea...
Standing on the port pier , this seaport city gave the two group leaders a strong sense of oppression.
Captain Jeroin stood at the pier and glanced at the Statue of Liberty on the top of the main hall of the Statue of Liberty Temple next to the port. He took Captain Flint and walked towards Brown Street. The two captains walked in Liberty Stopping in front of the gate of the Temple of the Goddess, through the rusty iron gate, I saw that the gaps between the floor tiles in the courtyard were full of weeds. In the round fountain, the dense weeds had even submerged the fountain sculpture...
Looking at the rusty iron gate and the dilapidated hall, the two leaders of the Knights Templar looked a little lonely.
Captain Jeroin was still thinking about how to get in and take a look. At this time, Roy stood in front of the side door, took out a copper key from his waist, and opened the iron lock on the door. Under the watchful eye, Roy walked into the overgrown yard.
“My teacher is the great priest here, but when I became the trainee priest of the Temple of Liberty, the sacred light of the Statue of Liberty could no longer shine on the Elf Continent, so I did not believe in the Statue of Liberty. I don’t usually rely on prayer to restore the power of the Holy Light. During the third expedition of the Temple of Liberty, my name was not on the list. The teacher asked me to stay.”
“Originally, it was said that this place would be established. There is a shelter that takes in some homeless mixed-race elf children, but now...it has been more than six years, and no one has ever come to take over the Temple of Liberty."
< br>Roy's tone was full of complaints.
"Captain Roy, you are not a believer in the Statue of Liberty, so where does the power of the Holy Light in your body come from?" Captain Jeroin asked curiously.
Roy explained:
“When I was a trainee priest, I relied on absorbing the Holy Light particles around me to slowly restore the power of Holy Light in my body. Although the recovery speed was extremely slow, it allowed me to I was promoted to a priest, and after I became a priest, I discovered that the Flower of Light could help me break through the levels quickly, so I planted a lot of Flowers of Light with the help of my friends.”
Listening to Roy's story, the two group leaders suddenly realized.
Actually, what Roy said was roughly stated in the Dark Land.
It’s just that Roy was not standing in the dilapidated Temple of Liberty at that time. Although Captain Jeroin listened very seriously, he was not as profound as before.
In fact, the priests have also discovered one thing in the past few days...
That is, they are in the Partington plane, and the power of the Holy Light cannot be restored through prayer. I heard Roy say that it can be restored through other ways. The power of the Holy Light, so I listened very carefully.
I heard Roy talking about the Flower of Light before, but Captain Jeroin didn’t pay much attention.
This time Roy mentioned the Flower of Light again, Captain Jeroin finally couldn't help but asked Roy:
"Captain Roy, can you show us your flower garden? ?”
"Of course... no problem!"
The three left the Temple of Liberty and walked west along the port pier. The Black Pearl ran aground on the beach west of the port pier.
On the way, he met the Silver Moon Elf Guards at the port terminal, and Roy greeted them familiarly.
