328. Roy, the herbalist merchant

From here, you can just look down on the dance floor, and the joyful music comes from the high platform, and you can just hear it from the sofa.

With a starry sky overhead, this platform is the best stargazing platform on this summer night.

Some elf aristocrats were sitting on the couch chatting as they saw Claire walking in from the outside, and elves were constantly greeting Claire.

Claire was also familiar with these Silver Moon Elf nobles, and nodded in response, and he led Roy through some chatting Silver Moon Elves and led him to a set of couch booths.

There were some elven nobles sitting here, as if they were talking about the current situation in Castletown.

Two elven attendants stood aside with fruit wine and fruit, Claire walked over and sat down with Roy in front of a set of sofas, and an elven waiter brought the tray of fruit wine over and asked Claire to choose a drink.

Claire brought herself a piece of Tree of Life sap and a portion of orange water for Roy.

Roy looked at the other Silver Moon Elf nobles and saw Squadron Leader Simpson.

The last time I saw this squadron leader, Roy was at the ball at the castle by the sea, and he hadn't seen him for about three years, and the Simpsons squadron leader had a little mustache, which made him look much more mature, wearing a neat magic pattern uniform, sitting in a group of elven nobles, and he was the most temperamental.

Squadron Leader Simpson looked at Claire and praised him with a smile:

"Claire, your playing level has improved a lot, not only do you compose very well, but you also have the talent of a performer."

"Uncle Simpson, it's not easy to hear your compliments." Claire said with a smile, then he put his hand on Roy's shoulder and said to the elven nobles on the couch:

"This is my good friend Roy, I brought him here this time, just to ask you, I hope you can recommend him to join the Magic Herb Chamber of Commerce." Claire said straight to the point to Squadron Leader Simpson.

Squadron Leader Simpson set his eyes on Roy, and only remembered Roy when he saw his face.

"Oh? Do you want to start a magic herb business? Squadron Leader Simpson asked Roy.

Roy hurriedly replied, "Yes, I can find a source of primary magic herbs in the Partington plane, so I want to do business in this area." ”

"Elementary magic herbs? Partington plane? I think it was supposed to be the territory of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, but since the two of you have found me, no problem, I will help you refer you to the Magical Herbalist Chamber of Commerce. Squadron Leader Simpson readily agreed.

Claire had actually prepared a set of rhetoric, but she didn't expect it to be useless, and Squadron Leader Simpson agreed directly.

You must know that there is also a limit to the number of recommended places for this kind of chamber of commerce, and Claire remembers that the last time someone asked Simpson for this recommended place, he was rejected.

"Thank you, Squadron Leader Simpson." Roy hurriedly thanked him.

Squadron Leader Simpson waved his hand: "It's a small matter, Claire, you can take your friends around casually and have a good night." ”

"Okay, Uncle Simpson." With that, Claire pulled Roy out of the corner.

……

Claire took Roy to the place where the young Silvermoon Elves gathered, where many young Silvermoon Elves gathered to gossip.

Claire took a glass of Tree of Life sap and took a sip before asking Roy:

"Roy, you know Uncle Simpson."

Roy nodded and said, "Well, he is the chief of guard of Princess Ophelia, and in the castle by the sea, it is he who came forward to help, so that I can meet Princess Ophelia." ”

The two of them stood next to the fence, and at this time the cheerful dance music on the dance floor had turned into soothing music, and a pair of young elves spun around the dance floor at will, and next to them were several beautiful silver moon elf noble ladies who were constantly snooping in this way, needless to say, they all wanted to dance with Claire, but they were very reserved and did not want to be too active......

Claire said to Roy quietly: "Roy, which girl do you like, I'll make an appointment for you!" ”

"Forget it, they just want to dance with you, why do they have to pull me every time?" Roy took a sip of orange juice.

This orange juice is also diluted with the sap of the Tree of Life and mixed with some orange water, and drinking this type of drink regularly has many benefits for the elves.

Claire smiled slightly, took Roy's shoulders, walked over to the two Silver Moon Elf Misses, and said as she walked, "What does that matter!" This kind of dance party is to expand our social circle, wouldn't it be nice to meet more friends? ”

Roy didn't argue......

……

Seeing Claire walking towards her, Miss Silvermoon Elf, who was wearing a light blue dress, had a sparkle in her blue eyes.

She pulled her best friend next to her with some excitement, staring at Claire's face, not wanting to leave for a moment, she stepped forward to meet her, and said to her best friend quietly: "No matter whether Claire chooses you or me, the other one has to cover for the one who is chosen, you know?" ”

The girlfriend was obviously more impatient than the elf lady in the blue dress, and responded in a low voice:

"Don't worry, you'll be ready to cover me......"

Claire chose the aristocratic lady in the blue dress, and Roy was dipped in Claire's light, holding the slender hand of the silver moon elf next to her, and spun a tune on the dance floor.

It has to be said that these Silver Moon Elf Ladies are very good at dancing, and they are as light as feathers flying in the wind with a soothing rhythm.

"What kind of friends do you and Claire have?"

"And what kind of elf girl does Claire like?"

"Are there any other girls around Claire......

Almost every time he goes to a ball with Claire, that's what Roy talks about with those Silver Moon Elf girls.

As a good friend, Roy already knew how to answer.

'I don't know, I don't know, I don't know......

There is no shortage of beautiful elf girls around Claire, but there is no such thing as a close relationship.

Martina and Shirley are also among the elf ladies around the dance floor, and they both want to get around Claire and have a casual conversation.

It's a pity that there are so many competitors around that the two of them can't squeeze in at all......

And at the last prom, the two of them were a little cold to Roy, intentionally or unintentionally, and finally Claire had a cold face and almost no smile.

Martina and Shirley didn't come to the ball.

The two stood in the crowd and realized how popular Claire really was.

"Shirley, how did that guy named Roy develop a deep friendship with Claire?" Martina clasped her hands over her shoulders and grumbled quietly.

"I heard that when they first entered the Elf Academy, the two of them often fought together." Shirley pursed her lips and whispered in response to her best friend.

"Is that because of this?"

Martina is confused and has a hard time understanding their friendship.

Roy knew that Claire had come to the ball by herself this time to help him find a recommender who would allow him to join the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce.

Secondly, in order to better integrate into the circle of silver moon elves, the aristocratic ball is mainly used to socialize and expand contacts.

But Roy really didn't do a good job of that.

With the last cheerful song 'Claire's Summer', the summer night dance party finally came to an end.

……

early morning

Ounn. Ellington rode in a carriage to the Inquisition Hall of the Elven Council, where he had been working for half a month and had adapted to the pace of work here.

As the new Inquisitor, Oun. All Ellington had to do every day was to review the files and familiarize himself with how the inquisitors had conducted their trials.

Castletown is a harbour city, and the Inquisition is particularly busy as a result.

Walking into the courtroom, Miss Sissi, an assistant waiting at the door, hurriedly came up and asked Ou En with a notebook. Ellington reports on the day's work plan.

Ounn. Ellington listened to the footsteps and said to Miss Sissi, "Wait a minute, bring me the file of the assassination instigated by the merchant Santos." ”

"Okay, Judge." Miss Sissi hurriedly wrote it down.

Ounn. Ellington sat at his desk and drank a cup of sweet fruit tea, and before he could put the cup down, Miss Sissi walked in with a stack of files.

Ounn. Ellington took the file and opened the confession record book inside, only to find that the case was already extremely clear, basically an assassination case, the mastermind businessman Santos hired elven assassins to try to assassinate the half-elf Roy.

The reason turned out to be that Roy was selling low-grade magical herbs, which affected the business of the merchant Santos.

The most important point is that this matter has already caused a lot of trouble, and this matter even involves Wagner. Claire, the young musician, will also attend the trial over the weekend.

Ounn. Ellington's face was gloomy, and he thought of the request of the butler Boris, and even wanted to drop the case......

He wasn't the Speaker of the Elven Council of Elders, how could he have so much power?

……

On the second day of the ball, Roy receives an invitation from the Magical Herbalist Chamber of Commerce.

This means that Roy can join the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce at any time, and since he is destined to do the business of Magic Herbs in the future, it is still necessary to join the Castletown Magic Herb Chamber of Commerce.

Roy had classes all day, so he could only take time to go to the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce at noon to register as a member.

Luckily, the Magic Herbalist Chamber of Commerce is not too far from the Elven Academy.

Roy took advantage of his lunch break to hurry to the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce.

This magical herb chamber is actually a treehouse, Roy shows the invitation to the elf guard at the door, the elf guard opens the door, enters the treehouse, and passes through a narrow passageway, at the end of which is an open-air plaza, surrounded by a giant wooden wall, making this square look like a gladiatorial arena.

However, Roy could clearly realize that this should not be the Elven Continent, at least the colorful sky above his head was not the same as Castletown.

I didn't expect to pass through a passage, and the other end of the passage was connected to another place.

And you can't feel the portal or the spatial rift at all......

In fact, many elven treehouses are designed in this way, but the treehouse of the Magic Herb Chamber of Commerce is designed very directly, so that Roy can clearly feel the spatial difference.

The square was divided into many areas, and Roy looked at the square and didn't know where to go.

'Welcome to the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce. ’

A Silver Moon Elf walked up and greeted Roy.

Seeing Roy's bewildered face, the Silver Moon Elf smiled and said to Roy:

"Is this your first time here? It doesn't matter, being able to enter here means that you have been officially recommended by a referee, and you are eligible to become a member of the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce, and you will come here often in the future, I am the receptionist of the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce, if you need anything, just ask me. ”

Roy glanced at the very polite Silver Moon Elf and said:

"I want to register as a member of the Chamber of Commerce."

The Silver Moon Elf didn't feel strange at all, nodded to Roy and said, "Please come with me......"

He took Roy to a room and pulled out a form from a roll cabinet for Roy to fill in some information.

The main thing is the name of Roy's trading house, the scope of business, the origin of magical herbs, and so on.

Roy quickly filled out the form.

The Silver Moon Elf put the form away and said to Roy, "The most direct benefit of joining the Magic Herb Merchant is that the Merchant will release some quests to acquire Magical Herbs from time to time, and if you can receive these quests, you are destined to make a fortune." ”

"In addition, the Magical Herb Dealer Bank has ensured the interests of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce has some measures to protect the members of the Chamber of Commerce, which I will introduce to you one by one later."

Roy turned his head to look around the square, pointed to the colored sky overhead, and said with some curiosity:

"Is this also the interior of a tree?"

The Silver Moon Elf didn't expect Roy to ask this, but he still patiently replied, "Uh...... In fact, it is not, to be exact, this is a half-plane, and the designer uses a space-based magic array to connect the half-plane to the tree passage, which will make you feel this way. ”

Roy became a member of the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce, only to learn that the Chamber of Commerce was very strict about the qualifications of herb merchants.

However, I heard that Roy was only in the business of primary magic herbs, and the various restrictions became very relaxed......

Roy also didn't expect that there were very few herb dealers who did low-level magic herbs in the Chamber of Commerce.

In a rest area, Roy saw a group of elven merchants sitting together chatting, presumably estimating the future of magical herbs.

Roy hurried back to the Elven Academy to attend classes, got the nameplate of the Magical Herb Chamber of Commerce and hurriedly left the Chamber of Commerce......

Walking out of the Chamber of Commerce, Roy looked back at this big tree with a hole in the sky, and felt that the spatial magic mastered by the elves was really very amazing.

……

It's Sunday, and Roy is going to attend the elven assassin trial today, and it is said that the businessman Santos will also be on trial.

A few days ago, the merchant Santos personally approached the Elven Academy and was driven into the carriage by a group of Elven students.

Roy rushed to the Council of Elders' Inquisition and saw Claire at the door, and the two walked into the courtroom while chatting......
