317. Ships of the harbor
The party appeared in the central square of Padstow City with a troop of argali, attracting the attention of many elves.
You must know that since the portal was banned, only the military merchant group can freely enter and exit the portal of Padstow City, and the appearance of such an adventure group in Paddestow City is already very eye-catching, and now it is actually with a caravan of argali, and the elves in the city want to know how this adventure group can pass through the portal.
As the party walked down the street, some elves followed.
There were even some elves who came over and asked Roy, "Do you want to go back to the Elven Continent?" Can you take me with you? If you're willing to take me, I can pay for a toll. ”
Roy immediately politely declined.
Although he had obtained the permission of the Earl of Swinburn, it did not mean that they could take advantage of such convenience to carry half-blood elves to the Elven Continent at will.
Reshander and Lambo were also with the party.
They couldn't get through the portal, but they needed to drive the gargali, which was carrying supplies, back to the hotel.
Although the city of Padstow is still in a state of semi-lockdown, most of the shops in the city have resumed business, and it can be said that under the current state of military control, the order in the city of Padstow is unprecedentedly good.
There are also many outsiders like Lessander and Lambo in the city, and as long as they don't break the local laws, the elven guards basically ignore them.
The management of outsiders on the Padstow side is much looser than on the Barrier Town side.
Reshander led an argali, followed Roy and walked forward, and the bundles of magical herbs on the back of the argali, without any cover, came directly to the central square.
Seeing that an adventuring group had come to the square with a pack team, two portal guards hurriedly greeted the adventuring group.
"Stop, where are you from?"
An elven guard placed his hand on the hilt of his saber hanging from his waist and asked Raysander in a domineering manner.
He may have thought that Lei Shande was the oldest in the adventure group, and naturally he was also the leader of the adventure group.
Roy stepped up from the side, took out the teleportation pass that Earl Swinburne had given him, and handed it to the elven guard.
"We're an adventuring party from Castletown and want to return to Partington Island, here's our teleportation pass."
The elven guard took the teleportation pass, and he didn't rush to look through it, he circled around the pack team, these argali, bundles of magical herbs were tied to their bodies, and there was no cover.
"Are you going to bring these magic herbs back to the Elven Continent?" The elven guard asked.
"Yes......"
Roy wanted to explain, but an elf guard next to him leaned over and whispered a few words next to the companion holding the teleportation pass, and the serious and arrogant expression on the elven guard's face immediately disappeared, and he immediately opened the teleportation pass and looked at it, and the eye-catching and dazzling red seal seemed to instantly pierce his heart.
The elven guard couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Since there is such a relationship as Lord Earl Swinburne, I won't say it earlier!" ’
"Well, now that you have a teleportation pass, you can go there and queue up, and now there happens to be a batch of supplies ready to be shipped back to Partington Island, so you can line up at the back of that material convoy." The elven guard hurriedly pulled the words back.
Turning around, he pointed to the place where the large number of supplies was piled up in the central square.
“…… Oh good! ”
Roy immediately agreed.
Unexpectedly, he obtained the passage permit so easily, Lei Shande and his son Lambo glanced at each other, and half of their hanging hearts were relaxed.
The members of the party unloaded the dozen bundles of magical herbs on the central square.
Roy then asks Reisander and Lambo to leave the central plaza with the argali, and tells them to wait for news at the hotel.
The elves watching around the central square were talking about what this adventure party was about, and it was able to carry a batch of magical herbs through the portal!
Some half-blood elves also curiously came up and asked, has the ban on the Partington plane been lifted?
The answer is undoubtedly very frustrating, the ban is still far away, and the reason why this party has free access to the Partington plane is because they have military status, and they belong to the supernumerary team of the 17th Silver Pegasus.
Obviously, this answer is not satisfactory to everyone, but for other information, the teleportation guard will not say a word.
Roy's party left the Partington plane without any problems.
Obviously, it was already evening on the Partington plane, and it was actually early in the morning when they arrived on Partington Island, and Roy didn't have time to reverse the jet lag, so he rented a carriage on Partington Island and transported this batch of magical herbs directly to the docks on the island, and they had to take the seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion supply ship back to Castletown City.
Since the war on the Partington plane has long since subsided, the output of the Partington plane is basically self-sufficient.
As a result, the supply ships of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion are also gradually reducing their frequency.
Rushed to the dock, just in time for a ship to leave the port.
Roy hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran quickly to the docks, waving to the crew members......
This ship is not a supply ship for the 17th Legion, but a transport ship for Partington Island, and if Roy wants to return to Castletown with these magical herbs, not only will he need to buy a ticket per head, but these magical herbs will also have to pay a transportation fee.
After paying the freight, the crew will be responsible for carrying the supplies into the hold, and the members of the adventure party will board the ship.
Set sail and set sail!
……
It had been almost six weeks or so since Castletown.
When everyone stood on the deck and could see the statue of the Silver Moon Elf at the top of the hill in Castletown, a group of young people cheered at the same time.
Moira, in particular, was so excited that she almost burst into tears......
Claire also looked excited, standing at the front of the deck, holding on to the railing with her hands, her face beaming with joy.
The ship broke through the waves and approached the port of Castletown.
Today, the Black Pearl is covered with green vines, the top of the building is even more lush, and the umbrella-like canopy of trees on the observation deck of the main mast looks more like a rocky seaside from a distance......
"It's quite a lot this time, Roy, what are you going to do with these magic herbs?" Claire asked Roy.
"I'm going to sell it to the magic potions shop in the city, someone will ask for it." Roy was confident in this, and since he had brought back all these magical herbs, he was going to go to Mrs. Winnie's house to sell them first.
"Need my help?" Claire asked in a whisper.
"Not yet, let me try it first!" Roy responded.
Roy wants to keep trading magic herbs, so he not only needs to open up the transportation one after another, but also have a sales channel, and he can't always ask Claire to find a relationship with his family every time he ships it.
When the ship was about to enter the port, Roy found a large star ship moored on the dock in the deep waters, and the flag flying on it was completely different from the Elven Realm, Roy could see the sword and shield and the Gripen on the flag, and the hull shape was also different from the style of the Elves.
This big ship is very similar to the Black Pearl, and the deck is full of supplies.
When I entered the port, I saw the faces of some human crew members on the ship, these crew members were wearing the same style of leather armor, they were on the deck of the big ship, busy carrying supplies.
Because of the Black Pearl, a sea ship, Roy didn't trust these human crew ships very much.
After docking, waiting for the crew to carry the magical herbs to the docks, they hired a horse-drawn carriage to transport the magical herbs to the Black Pearl.
After six weeks of absence, no one on board the Black Pearl was visited, and none of the magic traps set by Miss Tiffany and Woods before they left were triggered, except for a lot of guano on the deck.
Having stored all the magical herbs in the cabin of the Black Pearl, Claire couldn't wait to leave.
After storing all the magical herbs, Roy, Sabrina, and Moira all returned to their home on Brown Street, where Ms. Belinda was not at home, and the furnishings were still the same as when Roy left, except that a layer of floating dust had fallen on them.
Roy retrieved several letterheads from Ms. Belinda from her mailbox.
The letter sent back by Lady Belinda stated that she and a few friends were currently traveling in the Wood Elf Realm and had no plans to return yet.
Now that Ms. Belinda is also a well-known sculptor, she has been traveling for more than a year, and every place she goes will send a letter to Roy, which introduces the local customs and some of her insights during the trip.
It was evident that Ms. Belinda was enjoying this life.
Unfortunately, Roy couldn't reply to her, because by the time the mail returned, Ms. Belinda had already left there.
In addition to Ms. Belinda's letter, there was also a letter sent back by Archpriest Reed, I thought that the previous letter was the last, but I didn't expect that there would be a heart to send it back from Golfito.
The first thing Roy did when he got home was to fill the water tank on the rooftop patio so that he could take a shower in the bathroom......
Lying in the bathtub, Roy took out a dagger and opened the envelope:
'Roy, when I walked through the Dark Door, I was greeted by an endless scorched earth. There is no sunlight, no green vegetation, and the earth is divided by rivers of lava, and the light here is the fire of the river of lava. The earth was filled with poisonous smoke, the road under our feet was exchanged for the lives of the advance army, the extreme environment made our bodies deteriorate, even if I entered the dark place, I still couldn't feel the presence of the goddess.
A large number of monsters have appeared on the front line, and our expeditionary force is about to go to the battlefield. Only now do I understand why this place is called: the land where angels never set foot. Because...... There's no life here, there's no hope. ’
Roy set the letterhead aside, and he didn't even need to close his eyes to imagine what the Dark Land would look like.
……
The next morning, Roy left home in good spirits.
He planned to go to the magic shops in the city to inquire about the market for magic herbs, and also to go to the trading houses to collect weapons and light armor.
When I walked to the intersection and waited for the bus, I saw Mrs. Winnie standing in front of her shop, holding a booklet of accounts.
Woods had actually returned to work in the pharmacy.
At this time, he and a shopkeeper were moving wooden boxes out of the shop and onto a carriage.
Roy waved at Woods and said hello.
"Roy, I heard from Woods that you brought back a batch of herbs from the Partington plane, are you going to sell them?" Mrs. Winnie's voice was sharp and thin.
"Yes, Mrs. Winnie, do you want to stock up on a little herb from your magic apothecary?" Roy hurriedly responded.
Mrs. Winnie was still very good at business, especially at lowering prices.
"I don't mind if you sell me magic herbs, but there are better sales channels right now, there is a big ship on the port dock, and in the past few days, it has been shopping for magic herbs in Castleton City, and many apothecaries have sold magic herbs directly to them, which is more cost-effective than working hard to refine potions." Mrs. Winnie said, "If you have a batch of magical herbs in your hand, I suggest you talk to them as well......
"The magic herbs in your boxes aren't just going to be resold to those people, are they?" Roy asked, gesturing to the wooden box Woods was carrying.
"Isn't it just to sell them ......," said Mrs. Winnie.
Woods and the shopkeeper had loaded all the crates onto the flatbed, and Mrs. Winnie beckoned to Woods to look at the shop, while Mrs. Winnie hurried to the docks......
……
A carriage approached from a distance, and Roy waited for the carriage to come to a stop before getting into it.
The downtown market was as lively as ever, and as the carriage passed through the long street, Roy saw the dazzling array of fruit on the stalls.
Roy got out of the car at the door of the Magic Union, walked into the hall on the first floor of the Magic Union, came to the magic potion store where the nightmare vine was sold last time, pushed the door and walked in, only to find that although the potion store was full of magic potions, most of the shelves in the sales area of magic herbs were empty.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" An elf waitress in the apothecary asked kindly.
"How do you sell the Imperial Blood Grass here?" Roy asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, most of the magic herbs are currently sold out, if you buy potions, our store has the most complete!" The elven hostess replied.
Roy smiled and nodded, casually asking about the prices of several magical herbs before turning around and leaving the shop.
Roy then walked through a few more magic potions.
Not surprisingly, all the magic herbs in these apothecaries were sold out, and just as Mrs. Winnie had said, a large buyer had appeared on the docks, and they had already searched the city of Castletown.
Roy then went to the trading house and inquired about the price of the fine-grade weapons and armor.
Only then did I return to Brown Street from the city.
