Path of light

Chapter 836 837. Empire Merchant

There was a plate of breadfruit and a pot of lemon tea on the table. The elves' dinner was so simple.

Three female elves sat around the table, drinking tea and chatting about interesting things about the city of Darnassus.

During this time, Wendy was almost the only one introducing the world tree that could accommodate a huge city and describing how the wood elves lived there.

The sisters heard that the elves living in Darnassus drank the sap of the tree of life like drinking water every day...

Wendy smiled helplessly and said:

"From childhood to adulthood, I have drunk the sap of the tree of life as many times as I have grown old. I can only buy a small cup from the Well of Life on my birthday. For those elven nobles, the sap of the tree of life may be the same as water. They drink a cup every day. But I am a commoner of the wood elf. How can a commoner drink the sap of the tree of life every day..."

"In that case, the Silver Moon Elves obviously have a better life than the Wood Elves. Even if the half-blood elves in Castletown want to drink the sap of the Tree of Life, they won't find it particularly expensive if they buy a cup on the black market."

Sabrina said casually.

Wendy looked at the two sisters in front of her who had completely different figures, skin colors, faces, and personalities. Although she knew that they were half-sisters, she always wanted to find some common points between them.

Moira wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her chin on her knees, so she could curl up in the chair steadily.

There were very light footsteps coming from outside the yard, the rustling sound of boots stepping on the fine sand, and then the door of the wooden house was pushed open...

A figure stood at the door. The ice-blue magic patterns on his body were extremely conspicuous, and the human face made Wendy's heart beat violently.

Before Wendy could figure out why he was here...

Moira, who was curled up in a chair, ran over barefoot, her nightgown flying wildly as she ran.

Moira threw herself into Roy's arms. Roy was worried that the ice dragon scales on the magic pattern structure would scratch her, so he quickly held her slender waist with both hands and lifted her up.

"Let me see how our little cat is doing recently. Uh! There are actually guests at home..."

Soon Roy noticed Wendy, who was sitting across from Sabrina, and he placed the cat-like Moira on the floor.

"I have an impression of you, you..."

How could I not have any impression of her? There are probably only three wood elves on the entire island of Kuei, Wendy thought to herself.

"She's Wendy. I asked her to help me with the housework. After all, Moira and I don't have time to clean the room."

Sabrina got Roy a water cup from the cupboard and poured him a cup of lemon tea.

Moira squinted her eyes and held Roy's arm tightly, refusing to let go...

"Why don't you help him take off this thick leather armor?"

Sabrina reminded Moira.

Moira pursed her lips and helped Roy unbuckle his leather wrist guard and hang it on the wooden rack nearby.

Wendy also stood up, holding up her skirt, and came behind Roy to help silently.

It would be easy to take off this magic pattern armor with help. This was also the first time Wendy touched dragon skin. When her fingers touched the dragon scales, a loud dragon roar seemed to ring in her ears, scaring her so much that she couldn't help but take a step back.

"Oh? You can feel the roar of that dragon too?"

Roy turned his head and asked curiously.

Wendy covered her chest with one hand, her face pale as she nodded slightly.

"I thought I was the only one who could hear the roar in the dragon scales..."

After saying that, Roy walked into the bathroom wearing his shirt. Only then did Wendy realize that Boss Roy lived here.

She stood in the living room somewhat awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Don't be nervous, he's a very easy-going person. He rarely lives here and is always running around..."

Moira dug out a pile of clean underwear from the closet and walked to the bathroom, placing the clothes on the shelf next to the bathroom.

Wendy forced a faint smile and looked a little reserved standing in the living room.

Sabrina felt that Wendy seemed a little uneasy, so she stood up, opened a door next to the living room, and said to Wendy:

"This bedroom is for you temporarily. Have a good rest. Tomorrow will be a brand new beginning..."

…

After taking a shower, Roy changed into loose clothes and lay on a rattan chair, looking at the sea in the distance.

The setting sun has hidden in the sea, the sky is gradually getting darker, the stars are constantly lighting up, and there is a faint light at the junction of the sky and the sea.

The sea breeze was warm. Roy ate a piece of elf biscuit and turned to Moira who was sitting next to him and said:

"This time we went to the Lost Sea to look for the dwarven treasure, and everything went smoothly."

"The only regret is that these magical devices with Hextech technology, except for the floating device, including the magic cannon, magic shield, steel golem heart, etc., are temporarily unusable..."

"But this time we went out to sea, we also gained another thing."

Roy put his hands behind his head, turned his head to look into those dark eyes, reached out and grasped the soft little hand and said:

"Everyone's life is finally a little better now, but we still have to be careful of the gray dwarves around us. We have to make them behave themselves. After all, this is not Partington Island. This is the depths of the Endless Sea. I have to build stronger fortifications on Kui Island. Not only do we have to defend against the gray dwarf bandits, but we may also have to defend against the Naga tribe in the Endless Sea in the future."

Roy sat next to Moira, brushing the hair by her ear with his hand. Just as he was about to lower his head, he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the dock, and the voice of Adjutant Walker came from there:

"Boss, the Griffin Cavalry Regiment discovered an Imperial merchant caravan in the sea ahead. There are five merchant ships in total. The Imperial merchants proposed to dock at the pier."

Roy stood up and shouted to Walker standing on the beach:

"Tell them that the dock is not deep enough and their merchant ships will run aground easily if they stop there. Tell them to stop those merchant ships in the deep water area next to the coral reef in front. Who is the leader of the imperial caravan? Has Darwin arrived?"

Walker replied:

"It's not clear yet. I asked the Griffin Cavalry to communicate with them..."

"Try to find out as much as possible. It's too late today. Let them rest on the boat for a night. We can discuss anything tomorrow!"

Roy dismissed Walker with a few words, then lay back down comfortably on the wicker chair, with Moira leaning against his chest...

…

In the early morning, the sea breeze blew open the white curtains.

There was a knock on the door.

Before Roy woke up from his sweet dream, he was kicked to the ground by Moira's clean white feet.

Moira muttered "Looking for you", then turned over again, wrapped her head in a thin blanket, and lifted her nightgown slightly, exposing her round thighs completely...

Although Roy wanted to stay in bed for a while longer, he heard conversations coming from the living room, so he could only walk out of the room with sleepy eyes in his shirt and shorts.

He was yawning, and someone handed him a glass of ice water.

He took it and drank it in one gulp. Then he shuddered all over and woke up all of a sudden...

I saw Adjutant Walker standing at the door of the living room with an embarrassed look on his face.

Sabrina, who was sitting next to the dining table, threw him a piece of breadfruit and walked to the wooden shelf at the door. She and Wendy, who appeared out of nowhere, helped Roy put on the magic pattern construct, and then he was pushed out of the door by Sabrina.

Roy led Walker toward the dock.

Walker followed Roy and said:

"Boss, this time the Empire merchants brought nearly 5,000 half-blood elves from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom..."

Roy swallowed the last bite of breadfruit and then said, "Let's go and take a look."

The two arrived at the dock, where Kaka, little Eugene and their griffin were already waiting. The two were carrying small iron buckets and feeding their griffin.

Roy came to Kaka and said to Kaka:

"Send us to the Imperial merchant ship..."

"Okay!"

Kaka tightened the leather saddle straps on the griffin, then held the reins and sat on it first.

Roy sits behind Kaka...

The griffin flapped its wings violently and took off into the air.

Soon they arrived at the coral reef area two kilometers away. Kaka circled around these imperial merchant ships, and a group of imperial merchants appeared on the deck of the second merchant ship.

Roy let Kaka land on the ship, and a group of griffin cavalry followed Roy and landed on the deck one after another.

There were at least fifty fully-armed griffin riders hovering in the air...

When the merchants of the Empire saw Roy's display, their angry expressions immediately turned into complaints:

"Darwin told me that as long as we transport the half-blood elves to Kuei Island, we can exchange them for the magical herbs we need."

After saying that, I saw the faces of half-blood elves appearing through the glass windows of the ship. They came to Kui Island by boat and were all looking out through the glass windows curiously...

Roy patted his forehead and said quickly: "This promise has never changed..."

The imperial merchant could not help but continue to complain:

"You have no idea how much the half-blood elves on the five ships love to eat. They ate up all the fruits on the ships...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

They had originally planned to go ashore last night so that they wouldn't go hungry.

There was really no apple left in the ship's warehouse, and now they hadn't had any breakfast.

Can you please inform Boss Roy and ask him to pick up these half-blood elves as soon as possible!"

Roy said to the Imperial businessman, "Did Darwin tell you that Boss Roy is actually a half-elf who looks a lot like an Imperial."

"He said..."

The imperial businessman looked at Roy with his eyes wide open, and he couldn't say anything else.

"Are you Boss Roy?"

"Yes, I am Roy Walker! You and little Eugene go back and call Captain Rodhart to drive the three-masted sailboat over to pick us up. Tell him to hurry up..."

Roy turned to Walker and said.

Walker hurried to find little Eugene on the deck, where he was chatting with other griffin riders, and the imperial crew members also came over.

After a while, little Eugene took Walker to the Kuei Island Pier.

"Excuse me, have all these half-blood elves bought tickets to come to Kui Island on your ship?"

Roy stood at the door of the ship and asked the imperial merchant.

"How can we buy tickets? Most of the half-blood elves who are willing to board our merchant ships are stranded at the port and have no money to go home."

The imperial merchant paused for a moment before asking again:

"Darwin said that if I bring them here, I can enjoy certain discounts on magic herbs. Is that true, Boss Roy?"

“That’s right!”

"How many half-blood elves did you bring this time?"

Roy asked him.

"More than 5,000!"

At this time, the Imperial crew opened the door of the cabin below deck.

A group of half-blood elves swarmed onto the deck, crowded to the side of the ship, pointed at the Kuei Island volcano in the distance, and began to discuss loudly:

"We have already arrived at Kui Island, why aren't you letting us go to the island?"

"I heard that Boss Roy built a living area for half-blood elves on the island. Many elves said so."

"Are those griffins your companions?"

A half-elf saw the griffin cavalry and approached them curiously to ask.

"Yes, they are our partners!"

A griffon rider replied politely.

"Are you the half-blood elves living on the island of Kui?"

"Um!"

"Tell us quickly what Kui Island looks like. When can we land on the island?"

For a moment, the deck of the imperial merchant ship was in chaos.

The Empire merchant brought Roy to the top of the ship, and it became quieter. There were Empire sailors blocking the stairs...

"Give me a list of the magic herbs you need and I will arrange them." Roy said.

When the imperial merchant heard what Roy said, he immediately took out a list of herbs in a happy mood.

The list also lists the purchase price of magic herbs. The purchase price of almost all magic herbs has been lowered. It should be the average purchase price of magic herbs before the last price increase.

"We will trade these magic herbs at normal market prices. Let's settle the money for the 5,000 tickets first."

Roy paused and asked the Empire Merchant:

"How much is your ticket?"

"Two magic crystals for one ticket!" The imperial merchant directly stated the ticket price.

Roy frowned.

"You're selling me the ticket...at the price of a slave?"

The Imperial businessman was stunned by Roy's question.

He knew that his offer was a little high, but he felt that there must be a shortage of half-elves on the island of Kui. No matter how much he asked, Boss Roy would agree without hesitation.

The imperial merchant quickly explained with a smile:

"Although the price of these tickets is a little high, it's still worth it for you. After all, the price of magic herbs has been skyrocketing now!"

Roy stopped talking.

He lowered his head and without any hesitation, pulled out a treasure chest from his magic waist bag. The treasure chest fell to the floor on the roof with a dull sound.

Roy stepped on the lid of the box and unlocked it...

Colorful magic crystals appeared in the box.

"Here are 10,000 magic crystals. My ship will take all these half-blood elves away later..."

"To be honest, the gray dwarf bandits on the surrounding islands sold elven slaves for about the same price on Plusterton Island in the Lost Sea. You can only buy a boat ticket here. Your ticket is really valuable."

Roy handed the magic herb purchase list to the imperial merchant and said to him:

"I'll buy all the half-blood elf tickets at the price you set this time, but it's only this time. Don't send me any next time..."

"I will keep my promise to Darwin. I will fill your five merchant ships with magic herbs, and the price will be based on the market price. How long have you not been in the magic herb business? You don't know the current market price of magic herbs, right?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know the prices of so many magic herbs. I have a lot of hemostatic herbs in my warehouse. The price of this magic herb is not high and the price is the most transparent. Let's trade this..."

When the Empire Merchant heard what Roy said, he immediately broke out in a sweat and asked Roy with a bitter face:

"Boss Roy, you're not going to just sell me the hemostatic grass, are you?"

"If it weren't for the promise you made to Darwin, you wouldn't be able to take even a blade of grass away from Kuei Island this time."

After Roy finished speaking to the imperial merchant, he strode down the ship's deck with a group of half-elves.
