Path of light

Chapter 837 838. Roy's Discovery

When they saw Roy walking down the deck with an expressionless face, the Imperial Merchants realized that they had angered the young boss Roy.

The reason may be that the ticket price I asked for was a bit too high, and the purchase price in the herbal medicine purchase details was too low...

The Empire Merchant grabbed the fence with both hands and shouted at Boss Roy who walked down the deck angrily:

"Boss Roy, if you think the price is not right, we can sit down and talk together! Don't we businessmen need to bargain?"

The griffin riders on the deck stood up when they saw Boss Roy walking down the deck angrily with a dark face.

The griffins that were lying on the deck and eating the dried fish also stood up one after another, stretching their nearly four-meter-long wings...

The half-blood elves on the ship looked at Roy and his group walking onto the deck in panic. A dozen imperial mercenaries rushed out of the cabin, stretched out their hands to stop Roy, with ferocious smiles on their faces...

Roy looked at the imperial swordsman with bulging arm muscles. The griffin on the ship let out a violent cry...

A short flying spear fell from the sky like lightning and accurately pierced the railing post. The entire spear body split the railing post in the middle. Then the tip of the short flying spear pierced in front of the imperial swordsman's toes, only an inch away from piercing his boot.

Dozens of griffin cavalrymen in the sky drew out short flying spears from behind their backs and kept hovering in the air...

Other mercenaries on the merchant ship climbed up the mast, occupied some high points, took out bows and arrows and aimed at the griffin cavalry in the air.

The battle was about to break out, and the half-blood elves on the deck were so scared that they squatted down and hid in some secluded corners.

The half-elf guard standing behind Roy didn't care about the expressions of the imperial mercenaries on the opposite side. He walked out from behind Roy and charged at the enemy with his iris shield raised.

"I thought you were Darwin's friend and wanted to discuss business with you as a friend, but I didn't expect you to treat me like an idiot..."

The griffin riders in the air have already released a magic flare into the sky, and red flames are blooming in the sky.

When the Empire Merchant heard what Roy said, his expression turned cold, and he said in stiff Elvish:

"The purchase price I give you is already very high. I have always paid this price for goods in the Elf Continent."

Roy waved his hand and said, "But this purchase price is not the transaction price in the magic herb market."

As Roy said these words, a long horn sounded from the direction of the Kuei Island Pier, and hundreds of griffin cavalry flew into the sky from the direction of the pier and flew towards this side.

The bells of sailboats leaving the port rang from the direction of the pier...

At this time, the half-elf guard pushed the imperial swordsman away with his shield. Roy raised his head and said to the imperial merchant with a livid face:

"If you weren't Erwin's friend, I wouldn't have to tell you all this...

In addition, I will give you another free piece of information. The slave trading market in the Lost Sea is temporarily closed. Don't even think about trading elf slaves there."

After saying this, Roy forced the passage open by the half-elf guard, came to Kaka's side, stepped onto the griffin's leather saddle, and then the griffin flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

The imperial merchant standing on the deck looked even worse.

…

Three imperial merchants stood on the deck, watching Roy and the Griffin Cavalry return to Kui Island with complicated expressions.

A silver-haired merchant from the Empire with braided hair spoke up:

"Moses, it seems you have angered that half-elf."

The sunlight shone on his face, and the scar was particularly eye-catching.

The Empire merchant Moses smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that he would overturn the table as soon as we met? I said that the ticket price we set was too high."

"Who would have thought that he even knew the exact price of slave trades here? Haven't they been fighting the gray dwarves all the time? How could he know all this? Damn it..." the Silver-haired Empire merchant cursed.

"What should we do next? Complete the magic herb transaction before leaving, or leave now?" asked another imperial merchant.

Moses looked at the towering volcano in the distance and said, "Do you think we can leave here now if we want to?"

"As long as we keep all these elves, I think it should be possible."

The Silver-haired Empire merchant said.

"These half-blood elves must stay." Moses' face turned red, his eyes were fierce, and he said like a gambler: "But... I still want their magic herbs."

The Silver-haired Empire merchant asked back, "Are those hemostatic herbs used on bandages?"

Moses wiped the corners of his mouth with his handkerchief:

"Even hemostatic herbs can make money. Right now, the price of any herb that has anything to do with healing potions in the Empire has skyrocketed. I don't know how much it has increased."

The Silver-haired Empire merchant said in astonishment: "Did the great lords of the empire spend all the money they had to hire the priests on magic herbs?"

"What else can we do if we don't spend money? We can't just watch the plane in our hands being eroded by the dark army..."

"He said the Island of the Lost was destroyed. Is that true?"

"Is it true? Don't you want to take a look?"

The Silver Hair Empire merchant couldn't help but feel a little worried, and said, "What if it's true? Those...should we still send them over?"

Moses' eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He stared at Kui Island in the distance:

"We have been in the Endless Sea for so long. Could it be that we have been scared since we were young?"

The Silver Empire businessman hesitated and said, "But didn't Boss Roy say..."

The Empire Merchant Moses interrupted the Silver-haired Empire Merchant:

"Hey, man, wake up, we are businessmen, profit-seeking businessmen..."

At this time, the mercenaries boarded the ship one after another. The leading imperial swordsman came over and said to the imperial merchant Moses with some dissatisfaction:

"Boss Moses, since he's here, why don't we control him?"

The Empire merchant Moses pointed at the griffin cavalrymen that were landing one after another at the dock of Kui Island, and said in a cold voice with a sinister look on his face:

"He is Boss Roy. This is Kui Island. Look at those griffin cavalrymen in the sky. You don't think they can only throw short spears from high altitudes."

“…”

…

"Roy, are you a little too impulsive?"

Kaka held the griffin's reins, letting the griffin land steadily on the dock, and continued:

"I mean... you could be a little more gentle."

At the port, six three-masted sailing ships raised their sails and slowly left the dock. Some half-elf guards who were unaware of the situation gathered around.

Even Captain Tiprado hurried over from the camp.

Roy stood on the dock, looking at the Imperial merchant ship anchored on the sea two kilometers away, and said angrily:

"You want me to be nicer to those slave traders?"

"Wait...you said they are slave traders? Aren't they imperial merchants?" Kaka was a little confused.

Roy sighed and said, "They are imperial merchants, but they are also a group of slave traders."

Kaka asked in a questioning tone: "Then how did you know they were slave traders? Is it because they set the ticket price at two magic crystals?"

At this time, Sabrina and Moira also ran out of the tree house under the coconut tree and came to the dock.

Woods slid down the rope from the Black Pearl like a monkey. The Black Pearl had been repaired, and he had been busy moving the flower bed on the roof of the ship to Kui Island, and had begun teaching the priests of the Knights Templar how to grow flowers of light.

Captain Tennyson and Captain Tiprado also appeared at the dock, and a large number of griffin cavalry gathered at the dock and did not leave.

Since everyone had arrived at the dock, Roy gathered everyone together and told them what had just happened on the merchant ship.

"I found three suspicious places on the ship..."

Roy looked at the people around him and said to them:

"I can now tell you with certainty that this group of imperial merchants are nothing but slave traders. Perhaps they are also engaged in business at the same time..."

"So what evidence do you have?"

The only one who dared to interrupt Roy at this time was naturally Moira, who dared to kick him out of bed in the morning.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Her voice brought the surrounding discussions to an abrupt halt...

Roy pointed to the lifeboat on the left side of the ship and said:

"The first thing I discovered was that where the lifeboats should have been hung, these imperial merchant ships were actually hanging a row of iron cages wrapped with caltrops. Not one or two, but a long row of them, occupying the positions of the lifeboats."

"Although the cage is covered with tarpaulin, some parts are still exposed, and there is a heavy... death aura on it. It is formed by the vengeful spirits that survived in the cage."

"When I lived in Castletown, I often went around with two friends from the Statue of Liberty to purify evil spirits, so I am very sensitive to these kinds of souls. I can feel the incomplete souls in those cages."

"These innocent souls who are unwilling to leave the iron cages are most likely slaves who died in the iron cages."

After Roy finished speaking, everyone around him had a solemn expression on their faces and everyone looked at Roy.

Roy said to the griffin cavalrymen who had just boarded the imperial merchant ship:

"You also saw the group of mercenaries on the ship just now. What do you think of them?"

A dozen or so griffin riders looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They had just been chatting animatedly with the imperial crew on the ship and had not observed anything.

Only one griffon rider raised his hand and said:

"I was stared at by a mercenary on the ship for a long time just now. It felt like being stared at by a lion."

Roy reached out and patted his shoulder to show his approval, then said:

"They are a group of battle-hardened and well-trained mercenaries."

"In fact... I think they have been very restrained just now. The shield warrior who stopped me on the boat just now should be a second-level strongman with a strong aura."

"His companions should also be second-level strongmen."

"Just now, they were clearly ready to take action, but for some reason they suddenly changed their minds and stopped temporarily..."

"If they had taken action just now, you might not have had a chance to leave the deck. I don't know how many powerful opponents there are on the ship."

Roy held up three fingers and said:

"As for the third point, regarding those Imperial crew members, when you were chatting with them just now, didn't anyone notice that many of them had mutations in their jawbones, backs of their hands, and toes?"

"Some have grown very subtle gills on their mandibles, some have grown a few scales on the back of their hands, and some Imperial sailors have grown webbed feet on their toes..."

"I guess these Imperial sailors have been in the Misty Sea for too long, so their bodies have mutated to a certain extent. Apart from the Misty Sea, can you tell me where else these Imperial sailors could have mutated?"

Roy thought about it seriously before saying to everyone:

"I think they dared to pretend to be Darwin's friends and sent us 5,000 half-blood elves. In addition to wanting to make some money, they also wanted to find out the truth about the island."

"The first thing we need to do now is to bring all the elves on the imperial merchant ship to the island."

"We will also search these five imperial merchant ships. Captain Jeroin, take your men to check these merchant ships. Ask the priests to bless the Dark Moon Elf warriors, and then let them board the sailing ship that transports the elves..."

"If there are elves on the merchant ship that they don't want to hand over, find a way to take them back. You can use strong means. Take off the magic airships No. 15 and No. 29 at the port and hover over the imperial merchant ship. Pay attention to the hovering altitude and keep it at around 600."

"yes."

A group of elves agreed.

Then the action began.

As the two magic airships took off at the fastest speed, the decks were filled with griffin cavalry...

The four giant whaling crossbows also lifted their rainproof cloths, and the half-elf crew members were constantly busy on the deck. After rising into the sky, the two magic airships moved towards the direction of the imperial merchant ship.

The magic airship maintains its position in the air. Whether it is moving or not, the magic propulsion device needs to remain turned on so that the direction of the hull can be adjusted...

The four hundred griffin riders on the deck stuck their heads out, which looked very intimidating from a distance.

This time, Jie Zena brought the Siren Raid Group back to the Sun Island Bay on the magic airship. In order to ensure the safety of the waters around Kui Island, she specially arranged for the 300-meter Siren Warriors to stay here and usually move around the island.

This time, Roy mobilized more than a hundred Siren warriors to gather around the coral reef...

…

As Captain Rodhart drove the three-masted sailing ship closer to an imperial sailing ship, the two ships were connected with a ladder.

The people in charge of leading the team aboard the Imperial merchant ship this time were Sabrina and Captain Tennyson.

However, these two, one in the light and the other in the dark, each have their own mission.

Sabrina is the half-elf on the guide ship that lands on Que Island, and Captain Tennyson's mission is to investigate the situation on the Imperial merchant ship.

…

The imperial crew on the merchant ship were also very nervous at this moment.

They were afraid that the half-blood elf guards on the opposite three-masted sailing ship would rush over and seize the merchant ship...

The gray dwarves have spoken a lot about the atrocities committed by these half-elf guards.

However, the person in charge of boarding the ship this time turned out to be a beautiful half-elf swordswoman, which made the nervous crew of the Empire relax a lot...

Some mercenaries hiding in the cabin also breathed a sigh of relief. The half-elf guards who boarded the ship this time were almost all wearing the most sophisticated thorium magic armor. If a real fight broke out, it would cost a great price to win.

Moreover, this place is only two kilometers away from Kui Island. There is no telling how many griffin cavalry there are on the island...

As long as they have a place to rest, those griffin cavalry are invincible.
