As Roy and his party returned to Castleton by boat, Abt was hiding in a cave.

With a faint light, he plotted the course on a chart.

Abt had spent more than half a year studying a large number of charts, and he was now able to draw almost the entire Endless Sea.

In the area of the Endless Sea, there are nearly 100 island groups of all sizes.

The smallest group of islands also has dozens of islands......

But none of these islands can match the treasure map.

Abt had lost a lot of weight lately, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were bloodshot, and his thin lips were a black-purple color.

He also needs to drink some spirit potions once in a while to refresh himself......

Fortunately, the Partington plane is rich in herbs, and the cost of the spirit potion is not too expensive.

"Benjamin, how can this be? Are there other island groups in the Endless Sea that haven't been marked? How could you not find a place to hide the treasure? ”

Abt clutched at his messy hair and said to Benjamin in some confusion.

Benjamin was squeezing lemon juice into his glass, and the environment in the cave was rudimentary.

As a magician, Benjamin still wants to live a more refined life.

"Is it possible that that treasure is no longer in the Endless Sea at all?" Benjamin didn't raise his head, but said casually.

Abt's chest felt like someone had been punched hard, and he suddenly came to his senses, all his previous efforts were aimed at the Endless Sea, but he never thought about what to do if this treasure was not hidden in the Endless Sea......

His face was a little pale, and he leaned against the cold rock wall a little weakly, and muttered to himself:

"Could it be that the research direction is wrong?"

Looking at Abt's stunned face, Benjamin was also a little speechless......

“……”

……

For the past two months, Abt and Benjamin have been following a group of slave traders around the mountains of Padstow.

The most ferocious monsters in this mountain range are only some dire wolves, and the slave traders are not afraid of dire wolves at all, and they will hunt them down when they encounter them.

They hid in this mountain range, mainly to avoid the hunt of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion.

Benjamin relied on the recommendation of the slave trader Jones to join the slave traders' team with Abt.

Today, the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus is stationed in the city of Padusto......

These slave traders can't go back, and they can't leave the Partington plane through the portal, so they can only wander around the Partington plane, and they don't dare to go too far from Padstow City, some unexplored jungles are entrenched in a large number of high-level magical beasts, and those jungles are even more dangerous.

This mountain range belongs to the territory of Baron Jarvis, and usually few half-blood elves will enter this mountain range, only some low-level magical beasts are infested.

As a result, the mountain became a temporary shelter for these slave traders.

Of course, Benjamin and Abt were able to mix in a group of slave traders, and apart from a little affection from the slave trader Jones, he mainly relied on the Benjamin magician to draw a big pie for these slave traders.

Benjamin threatened that as long as everyone could leave Partington safely, he would take everyone to Castletown Harbor to grab a big ship, so that everyone could escape from the Elven Continent and rush into the vast and endless sea, never returning to the Elven Continent again.

Benjamin also told the slave traders that Abt was a navigator who knew the Endless Sea, and that he had the most complete and detailed charts of the Endless Sea.

The slave traders even thought that Abt was scribbling on some charts every day, and that he was plotting their escape route at sea.

Abt, in particular, was familiar with the large number of islands in the Endless Sea, which gave the escape path more supply points, so he was especially kind to the two of them......

……

Jones was just a minor leader among these slave traders......

While a group of slave traders gathered at the mouth of the cave to gossip, Jones was among them.

"I heard that there is a big screening of people in Padstow City, and I want to go to Paddestow City in the future...... I'm afraid it's harder. A slave trader leader said.

The slave traders fell silent.

They just didn't want to live the life of elven hunters, and spent their days in the wilderness and jungle with monsters, so they became slave traders.

Can ...... now They could only hide in a remote cave and shiver.

"We can't stay in the jungle all the time, can we?"

"Who knows!"

Jones rolled his eyes and thought of the words that Wizard Benjamin had said to him yesterday, and said, "Actually, we can make a little more mess of ourselves, hunt more dire wolves and wind foxes lately, and then try to join the half-blood elf rebels." ”

“……”

There was silence all around, and all the slave traders stared at Jones with puzzled expressions.

"Only by joining the Half-Blood Elf Rebels will we have a chance to leave the Partington Plane?" Jones said.

One of the leaders of the slave traders put his arm around Jones's shoulders and said to him:

"Don't say that if we join the rebel army now, even if the rebel army expands tenfold, they won't be able to defeat the seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion...... Why should we join the rebels? ”

Jones explained, "When the Half-Blood Rebels attacked Padstow, they were crushed by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, but instead of pursuing the rebels, the Silver Pegasus Legion hunted us down in Padstow. ”

"It's not that they can't beat the rebels, but they don't want to fight ...... at all"

"So I think that once the situation in Padstow City stabilizes, there will definitely be high-level elves who will come forward to appease this group of half-blood elves......"

After Jones's analysis, the slave traders were a little moved.

Everyone was talking about it again......

……

When Roy got home, Ms. Belinda hadn't returned, and there was a note on the table, pressed by a glass, and even a layer of dust had fallen on it.

The part pressed against the bottom of the cup is extraordinarily clean, and there is only a simple sentence on the note:

'Roy, I'm going to Buenos, come back in a few days and take care of myself. Love you Belinda. ’

There were a few apples in the kitchen that had been completely rotten, giving off a kind of fruit wine and a rotten sour smell......

On his first day back at home, Roy cleaned the house inside and out, and in the evening he grilled a few fish on the patio of the house, lay on a wicker chair and drank fruit tea, while listening to Moira tell about the events of the last month on Brown Street.

In fact, Moira's life is very simple, and she rarely goes out of this courtyard.

What about now...... She had a new place to go, and that was to regularly visit the Black Pearl to look after Roy's Flowers of Light.

"Moira, those flowers of light on the Black Pearl...... Still alive, right? Roy whispered to Moira, who was munching on grilled fish.

Angry, Moira wanted to stick the skewer of the grilled fish into Roy's mouth......

Thinking about the delicious grilled fish in his hand, I decided to forgive him one more time.

"They're all alive and well."

Moira said vaguely.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt that those flowers of light will only appear in various conditions when they are kept by his side, either sick or wilted......

"Did you catch Abt and the human mage this time?"

Moira squatted beside the oven and asked curiously as she ate.

Roy flipped the grilled fish on the grate and asked:

"Didn't Sabrina tell you?"

Moira wrinkled her cute little nose and said angrily, "I asked her, but she ignored me......"

"I didn't find it, I didn't even see a shadow!"

Roy replied.

Moira didn't find it strange and continued to concentrate on eating the grilled fish......

Roydo grilled four mackerel and brought them to Mrs. Winnie's big cat, and then he and Moira cleaned up the patio briefly before going back to their room to sleep.

……

In the days that followed, Roy's life became very regular again.

He returned to the Elven Academy in the morning, studied magic with Grand Priest Reed in the afternoon, and practiced martial arts with Moira in the evening......

When sleeping, a pot of flowers of light is placed on the windowsill of the bedroom.

Although these flowers of light are still seedlings, they contain enough power of holy light for Roy to absorb them for a night......

Ms. Belinda is getting busier, and Roy has only recently received two postcards she sent back from the Buenos Art Museum.

Recently, when he was training against Moira at night, Roy not only needed to wear thick leather armor, but also a small round shield on his arm, so that he could ...... Moira will let go of her hands and feet to train with Roy.

But even if Roy was fully armed and occasionally secretly blessed himself with 'Strength Blessings', he couldn't win in practice.

Moira's talent as an assassin has grown, and her body is flexible and coordinated, allowing her to perform some of the most difficult martial arts at will.

Because of her talent, Roy suggested that Moira learn some Assassin martial arts in the future, but she wanted to be like Sabrina...... Become a sword dancer.

But Moira is very stubborn and decides that she will not look back......

Every night, she would use the short sword in her hand to push Roy into a desperate situation again and again.

……

During this time, Sabrina was easily promoted to a sword dancer.

Then, she chose the 'Dance of Morale', one of the three sword dance secret techniques given to Roy by Count Amelia, and began to practice hard.

Miss Tiffany returned to Castletown from the Partington plane, still living on the Black Pearl, and did not seem to want to leave......

Woods is also studying hard at Elf Academy......

It's mid-May in the blink of an eye.

In two weeks, the Elven Academy will once again usher in its final exams.

At noon, Roy and Woods left the academy together and rode back to Brown Street in a carriage, and when they reached the gates of the Statue of Liberty, they saw the postman again.

"Woods, there's a letter from you......"

The postman called out Woods' name with precision, startling Woods.

Woods hurriedly walked up, took the letterhead, and then tore open the envelope, pulled out a piece of stationery inside, and looked carefully at the letter in his hand.

The postman rode out of the Statue of Liberty.

Roy and Woods walked into the vestibule side by side, and Woods read the letterhead intently, and then said to Roy with a worried expression:

"Roy, Uncle Dickey said in the letter that the rebel army on the Partington plane is growing, although it suffered a defeat some time ago, but now there are still half-blood elves joining the turnaround army, and the rebel army is constantly growing, and now the number of rebels has reached almost 30,000 ......"

"A lot of the rebels want to be able to fight back to Padstow...... I wanted to write a letter to my uncle in the hope that he would give up on this plan, but unfortunately I didn't know where to send it! ”

Woods had seen the Silver Pegasus Warriors in the city of Padstow and knew very well how far the Silver Pegasus Warriors were from the rebel rabble.

He didn't want Uncle Dickey to put his life at risk......

"Don't worry about anything else, the last time we saw Miss Christine, we talked about it, this battle can't be fought at all, maybe the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion will teach the rebels a lesson, but this war with a huge disparity in strength will definitely not be fought......"

Roy swore to Woods.

The specific reason Roy did not say.

The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus didn't want to go to war because Padstow needed these half-blood elven residents.

……

At this time, Miss Christine is also taking classes at the Elven Academy.

However, the trajectory of her life is almost completely missed by Roy, who rarely sees Miss Christine, although Roy goes to the Elven Academy every day.

It's not uncommon to see Edith. Miss Ellington.

She is now a midshipman at Princess Ophelia's side, and spends two and a half days a week by her side to help her with some things.

Although the elven modern history course has long since ended, Roy and Miss Edith have formed a strong friendship.

Every once in a while, Miss Edith invites Roy and Claire to her balls at the manor.

When Claire returned to the Elven Academy, she composed a melodic piano piece - Adrina by the Water.

It was this piano piece that made Claire one of the most talented young musicians in Castletown.

Last semester, there were still many young elves who were not convinced.

This semester, the voices that were full of doubts about Claire have completely disappeared......

The end of the semester is approaching in a blink of an eye, and in order to cope with the final assessment of the two courses, Roy is busy these days.

Even the martial arts training with Moira at night was temporarily stopped.

Just a week before the final exams, another message came from the Partington plane:

'The Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion will be responsible for maintaining the law and order of the Partington Plane for some time to come, and the Earl of Swinburn will officially accept Baron Jarvis's domain in the north of Paddestow City and become the Grand Lord of the Partington Plane. ’

After Roy prepares for the exam, he goes to Ellington Castle to tell Count Amelia about the recent events.

He also had to write a letter to Xavier of the Dark Temple, telling him about the news of Castletown.

Roy didn't expect that after the original forces of the Partington plane were completely cleaned up, the Earl of Swinburne would become the biggest winner of this incident.
