263. Return
The carriage stopped on the side of the road in the central square of Paddestow City, which was just over the time from Paddestow City to Partington Island.
Flatbed carts loaded with supplies were being pushed through the portal by the half-blood elves.
Padstow City is the only place in the entire Pattington plane that connects to the Elven Continent, and almost every once in a while, a large amount of materials will be transported into the Elven Continent.
The central plaza is not too far from the Tree of Life, and the treehouses around it are populated by some Silver Moon Elves.
Although there are very few Silver Moon Elves in Padstow City, the Silver Moon Elves still have some special treatment, such as the fact that they do not need to wait in line with the half-blood elves when they pass through the portal.
The members of the adventure group, led by Instructor Nora, jumped out of the carriage one after another, and everyone came to the portal.
Instructor Eleanor took the teleportation credential from Instructor Nora's hand, walked up to the elven guard without saying a word, and handed the teleportation credential to the elven guard......
The elven guards saw that more than half of the team were Silver Moon Elves, and they didn't look closely at this teleportation voucher, so they let the group pass through the teleportation door.
……
Roy walked into the magic vortex again, only to feel that the vortex passage that appeared in front of him was shrouded in a large amount of thick fog, and some arcs of electricity scurried back and forth around him.
Crossing the plane, some elves have a very strong reaction when crossing space, some elves feel no different from walking normally, and Roy has some slight vertigo reactions.
He walked out of the portal, feeling like something was spinning around, and he needed to stand still for a while before he could recover.
The adventure map returned to Partington Island smoothly, and everyone's faces showed a relaxed look.
This time, even Woods was brought back by Instructor Nora.
There was no way for him to stay in Padstow.
Instructor Nora led everyone out of the central square of Partington.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to wait in Fountain Square until I see your elders."
Instructor Nora comforted Woods, and then she added:
"Woods, come back to Castleton City, Paddestow is rotten from top to bottom, and it's not safe to live in Partington Town."
Woods is not the kind of fierce seed who does not listen to persuasion, he lowered his head and thought seriously for a while, and then readily agreed:
"Oh, okay, I'll go with you to Castletown for a while, it's really a hassle for you this time."
"You've also helped us a lot, we're friends, so there's no need to be so polite!"
Instructor Nora patted Woods on the top of his head and cheered him on.
After a night's stay on Partington Island, the group hurried back to Castletown.
……
Every other day on Partington Island, there is a sailboat bound for Castletown.
Instructor Nora took everyone back to Castletown by boat, and the journey was uneventful.
In the city of Castletown in January, the cold wind blowing from the frozen sea has completely disappeared, and the sea is calm......
It wasn't until the sailboat sailed into Castletown Harbour that Instructor Nora, who was standing on deck, let out a long breath and completely relax his tense spirit.
Roy knew that the encounter with the expedition group in Padstow City had put several instructors under great pressure......
He and Woods stood at the bow of the boat, holding on to the railing, and pointed to the stranded ship beneath the castle by the sea, and said to Woods:
"Look over there, the big ship is mine."
"Oh my God, Roy, you have such a big sailboat!"
Woods said with envy in his eyes.
At this time, his eyes were already a little insufficient, this place was several times more lively than the city of Padstow, the whole city was built on the hillside, countless buildings were stacked on top of each other, and there was a huge elf statue on the top of the mountain.
Everything here dazzles Woods a little.
The sailboat is docked at the pier in the deep water, and the passengers on the deck are the first to disembark, and then the workers on the pier will quickly board the ship and carry the supplies on board.
After disembarking, the group disbanded on the spot.
Instructor Nora was going to take Woods away, but Roy said Woods could stay and stay with him.
Woods readily agreed to Roy's offer......
So Roy led Woods through the docks, and when he passed the fish market, many stall owners greeted Roy warmly.
Woods pinched his nose with one hand and whispered to Roy, "Roy, there are so many elves who know you. ”
"yes, my family lives on that street."
After Roy finished speaking, he pointed to Brown Street at the end.
……
Roy stopped at the gate of the Statue of Liberty and saw that the guard's room at the gate of the temple was empty, and the temple seemed to be very quiet.
Roy felt a little guilty at the thought that during the two months he had been away from Castletown, Grand Priest Reed had been presiding over Wednesday's assembly alone in the temple.
Pushing open the temple door, Roy led Woods into the vestibule of the Liberty Temple.
In the dry season, only a third of the water in the fountain in the courtyard remains, and the Statue of Liberty looks cracked.
Bypassing the fountain, Roy made his way to the door of the main hall, just in time to see Grand Priest Reed coming out of it.
"Teacher!"
Roy hurriedly saluted Grand Priest Reed.
Archpriest Reed set his eyes on Woods.
"Your friend?"
Roy recounted what had happened to Woods, the arrogant slave traders and the vile elven guards in Padstow......
Grand Priest Reed sighed and said to himself: I didn't expect the elven world to become so corrupt.
Then he explained to Roy: In fact, there are imaginations of suppressing half-blood elves everywhere, although the main messenger behind it is the Silver Moon Elf, but many times, it is not the Silver Moon Elf who is doing these things.
Rather, some half-blood elves made a move on their compatriots in order to gain the approval of the Silver Moon Elves.
squeeze
deceit
harm
They were so shameless that they had to sell the marrow oil they squeezed out of those lowly half-blood elves......
"This kind of thing happens everywhere." Grand Priest Reed said helplessly.
He led Roy and Woods into the study, and the three of them sat at the round table and chatted.
"So what are we going to do?" Roy asked a little unwillingly.
Grand Priest Reed thought for a moment before he said, "Let us remember in our hearts: courage, justice, mercy, and kindness. ”
"Courage, justice, mercy, kindness...... I think I can do it. Woods listened attentively.
Seeing his honest appearance, Grand Priest Reed actually took the initiative to say to Roy: "Roy, if your friend hasn't found a place to live for the time being, you can temporarily stay in the Temple of Liberty." ”
"Okay, teacher." That's what Roy was waiting for, and now Woods finally has a place to live.
It's not that he doesn't want to bring Woods home, it's just that his house currently only has two bedrooms, and he can't let Woods sleep in the living room or the terrace.
"Teacher, is there any news from Golfito's headquarters?" Roy wanted to inquire about the current situation at the Statue of Liberty.
High Priest Reed said casually: "The second expeditionary force has entered the dark place, and the third group of expeditionary forces has begun to assemble, maybe the Castletown Liberty Temple is at the end of the line, and has not yet received an order." ”
This may be one of the few things that Archpriest Reed is worried about.
So he didn't want to talk more, so he turned the topic to Roy and asked him:
"Roy, what have you gained from this trip to the Partington plane?"
Speaking of this, Roy also seemed very energetic.
"Teacher, I'm already a seventh-level midshipman now, and I've found this." As he spoke, he pulled out the leather pocket that hung behind his buttocks.
A pot of flowers was taken out of his pocket and placed on the round table.
Grand Priest Reed looked at it carefully for a long time before he asked with some uncertainty:
"Withered Flower of Light?"
Roy nodded hurriedly, then explained:
"Woods said that although this flower of light is dead, the seeds are ripe and are now dormant, and if you want them to germinate quickly, you need to give birth, and while I pray, this flower of light will help me some, so I plan to try to plant some."
Woods sat down and said, "These light-loving plants are very delicate, they need sunlight, they can't be exposed to the sun, they need to be cared for. ”
The three of them chatted for a while, and only after Archpriest Reed had left did Roy begin to settle into Woods' quarters.
The row of rooms in the temple's backyard was almost empty, and Roy chose a cleaner room, where Woods stayed for the time being.
Woods was also very satisfied with the environment of the Statue of Liberty, so he happily lived in the dormitory.
Roy then left the Statue of Liberty alone and walked towards his home......
……
When I returned to the door, I found that the lights on the second floor were actually on, and Ms. Belinda was actually at home......
Walking into the living room, Ms. Belinda upstairs ran out of the studio.
Her leather apron was covered in powder, and as soon as she rushed downstairs, she gave Roy a big hug.
Lady Belinda was still the same, she pressed Roy's shoulders with both hands, and chattered:
"Roy, you've grown a lot taller......"
"Roy, what do you eat every day over there?"
"Roy, are there any monsters on the other side of the Partington plane?"
Roy pulled Ms. Belinda to sit on the sofa in the living room, and briefly told some of the trip, he knew that Ms. Belinda must listen, so he didn't even bother to take a shower, and began to tell Ms. Belinda about the travel experience:
Hunt wind foxes, hunt dire wolves, hunt griffons......
Roy prepared a few very interesting stories, and Lady Belinda's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she said with some excitement:
"After so many years, I didn't know that the Partington plane was so interesting, and I would definitely visit it if I had the chance......"
