498. Mrs. Winnie's entrustment
Chapter 497 498. Mrs. Winnie's entrustment
Footsteps were heard again at the staircase of the ship's building, and Sabrina walked out of the staircase,
Seeing everyone sitting around the main mast on deck, she was slightly stunned when her eyes fell on Roy.
She paused for a moment before she walked over with a calm face......
The afternoon sun shone on her body, the sea breeze blew her long golden hair, and Sabrina was dressed in silver armor, and her long snow-white legs under her battle skirt stood out.
With the Seruki sword hanging from her waist, although she had already collected the aura on her body, every step was imposing.
Sabrina placed the sword on the weapon rack, then sat quietly beside Moira, first glanced at Roy, and said a brief hello to him before asking Moira, "What were you guys talking about?" ”
"We've been talking about the Battle of Queen Ivanie Islands." Moira leaned on her sister's shoulder and whispered.
Roy looked at Sabrina, the Wood Elf bloodline made her much taller than the average elf, and Moira looked small by her side.
"Sabrina, come to the Partington plane to help me this holiday!"
Roy looked up at Sabrina and formally invited her.
Sabrina majored in swordsmanship at the Elven Academy and has now advanced to become a first-turn sword dancer.
Roy knew that she had taken "The Art of War", "The Potential Relationship between Tactics and Arms", "The Transformation of Offensive and Defensive Warfare" and so on at the Elven Academy.
If she could serve in the army, Sabrina would already be a good officer.
The Mine Guard happens to be short of an academic officer like Sabrina, and Roy hopes that Sabrina will stay in the Mine Watch for a while, so that the half-blood elf officers in the Guard can learn something useful.
In fact, Sabrina's training of half-blood elven warriors in the West Reef archipelago was indeed very helpful to these half-blood elven warriors.
"Yes, yes!"
Sabrina was a little surprised, but she readily agreed.
Seeing Roy's invitation to Sabrina to the Partington plane, Woods knew that there might be a war in the Bay of the Sun Island in the next period of time, after all, Sabrina also served as a military instructor for the Mine Guard Regiment when she was in the West Key.
"Didn't you say that the fighting in the Bay of the Sun Island might subside for a while?" Woods asked Roy.
"Those fishmen won't always be so peaceful, they suffered a big loss in this naval battle, and I guess those Krakens will definitely retaliate next." Roy said calmly, he was much more mature and calm than a year ago.
He turned his head to look at Miss Tiffany, who was looking out at the sea in the distance from the side of the ship, and said, "I came back this time just to ask Tiffany to go to the Partington plane to help me in advance." ”
Moira was a little surprised and said, "Ah, Tiffany, are you going to the Partington Plane before us this time?" ”
Miss Tiffany turned her head to Moira and smiled warmly, the sea breeze ruffled her seaweed-colored curls, and said casually:
"Roy wants me to go to Sun Island Bay and find a chance to communicate with the Kraken over there......"
Seeing Moira's brows furrowed, Miss Tiffany leaned over with her hands on her body and whispered close to Moira's soft pointed ears:
"Moira, don't worry, it's another holiday in another month."
If it weren't for Miss Tiffany's unraveling. The introverted Moira may not be brave enough to walk out of the courtyard, let alone go to which plane to venture and experience.
Moira and Miss Tiffany are the best friends.
Hearing Miss Tiffany say this, Moira thought about it seriously and thought it was right!
……
The Black Pearl was over-modified by Woods, and the whole ship looked like five lush trees, and there was a small plantation on top of the aft building.
Originally, Roy planned to transform the top of the shipbuilding into a garden to cultivate the flowers of light, but he didn't expect Woods to use too much force and directly turned it into a small plantation, so that everyone wanted to go to the roof to sit, but there was not enough space.
By the time Claire climbed onto the deck, Roy was already preparing to set up a barbecue grill on the boat.
Seeing Roy unexpectedly appear on the deck, Claire said excitedly: "I always feel that there is something good today, it turns out that Roy has returned from Partington." How long can you stay this time? ”
Claire walked over and put her arm around Roy's shoulder.
Roy was pickling sea fish, and Woods was helping to light a charcoal fire.
"I should stay for a few days, if you don't come tonight, I will go to the academy tomorrow morning to find you." Roy said, "Claire, do you have any connections in the shipbuilding industry here in Castletown?" ”
Claire's first thought was the Black Pearl, but now there doesn't seem to be any need for this ship to be repaired!
"Are you going to repair ships or build ships?" Claire asked.
Roy replied calmly:
"I'm going to build some big sailing ships like the three-masted galleon."
Claire found out that Roy was serious, so she scratched her head a little and said: "Most of the elf craftsmen are good at making flying fish ships, and the medium-sized sailing ships over there in the port of Castletown are all bought from the Wood Elf Kingdom, and there are no elf craftsmen in Castletown City who can build big ships." ”
Roy didn't expect that even in the port of Castletown, he couldn't find an elven craftsman who was good at building sea ships, and asked tentatively:
"What about the Dwarven Artisans?"
"I'm going to inquire tomorrow." Claire sat down and said.
"Alright, I'll wait for your news." Roy said.
Claire couldn't figure out why Roy suddenly wanted to build a ship......
Thinking that there was still a troublesome thing about Roy, he couldn't help but remind Roy:
"Oh, by the way, Roy, the matter of your killing of the descendants of the Silver Moon Elf nobles in the Partington plane has now been spread to Buenos City, and it is estimated that if the other party refuses to let go, maybe the Inquisition of the Elven Elven Council of Elders in Buenos City will send investigators to the Partington plane to investigate this matter, so you must be prepared."
Roy had heard from the head of Berkeley, and thought that the Earl of Swinburne had suppressed the matter, but he didn't expect that the matter would actually reach Buenos City.
"They want to investigate the death of the owner of the Abel mine?" Roy asked.
Claire said with a serious face: "Well, there is a lot of support for the owner of the Abier mine in Buenos City right now......"
Roy shook his head and said, "I haven't received any news from my side. ”
Claire didn't think it was strange, and said to Roy, "It should be the Earl of Swinburn who suppressed the news." ”
Roy also knew that the Earl of Swinburn had blocked a lot of malicious attacks for Roy, in the final analysis, because he was not a Silver Moon Elf.
Claire looked at the Castletown dock and whispered to Roy, "Recently, Imperial merchants have been going to the alchemy workshop frequently, and they are buying magical herbs everywhere in Castletown City, as long as they fill a ship, that ship will quickly leave Castletown Harbor. ”
Although Roy also knew that the Imperial merchant ships were buying magic herbs on a large scale, he didn't expect those merchants to be so crazy.
Just when Roy was puzzled, Claire whispered to Roy:
"I heard that the Grimm Empire's plane war is very lively, and many subordinate planes have fallen, so Roy, you should also be careful on the Pattington plane."
"Yes." Roy nodded.
Then everyone talked about the interesting things that happened in the Elf Academy.
As the most famous student of Castletown Elf Academy, Claire recently received an invitation from a royal princess, which was tantamount to a public confession for Claire, and if Claire openly refused, it was obviously to offend the Silver Moon Elf royal family.
But if he is invited to participate in a high-profile manner, it means that he intends to join the Silver Moon Elf royal family......
Claire didn't want to give up the entire Emerald Forest for the sake of a golden tree.
So recently, Claire has been using procrastination, hiding in the piano room every day, and composing tunes.
It's just that the final prom is approaching, and Claire has to play at the prom every time.
This time he was tempted to play a new tune, but after trying to do it for so long, Claire was completely disappointed in herself......
"Ahem, it's going to be the final prom, Roy, I'm going to play a new tune at this prom, have you been inspired lately?" Claire said with some humility.
Roy looked at the bright sunlight and led Claire to the bow of the boat, standing on the giant copper rampage.
The sound of the waves can be heard here......
Roy said to Claire, "It's easy! ”
After saying that, he stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sun, closed his eyes, and opened his hands, looking like he was feeling the warm sunshine......
At this moment, the rainy season in Castletown has passed, and this time happens to be autumn in Castletown.
On this sunny afternoon, Roy stood on the bow of the ship and hummed a melody very clearly.
Claire's eyes widened immediately, and she pulled out the parchment notebook she had prepared from her bosom, and quickly drew a series of symbols on the blank sheet music.
"Roy, what's the name of this piece?" Claire followed Roy as she hummed the melody and couldn't help but ask him.
Roy paused, smiled and asked his friend, "Claire, what do you think should be the name for it?" ”
Claire was stunned for a moment, feeling that the song just now was like a warm sun shining on her body, while she was lying in the sunflower field, enjoying a quiet afternoon, so she blurted out: "Autumn sun? ”
Roy felt that Claire's name was still a little worse, so he said to Claire: "If it were me, I would call it 'Autumn Whisper'!" ”
Hearing Roy say this, Claire's eyes lit up, and she quickly picked up the pen and squeezed it on the parchment notebook, and said as she wrote:
"Roy, I think you ......"
Before Claire could finish speaking, Roy immediately interrupted him:
"Claire, you feel the bright sunshine again, and then calm your whole heart, and listen to the sound of the wind......"
"Roy, all I can hear is the sound of the waves." Claire paused for a long time and said with some distress.
"Then I suggest you find a hillside with alfalfa grass, feel the autumn sunshine there, and maybe this beautiful melody will spring up in your heart!"
Roy encouraged Claire again.
……
During the night, Claire returns to Uptown in a carriage, and Woods returns to the Alchemy Workshop.
Roy, Moira, and Sabrina walked home along Brown Street.
The Temple of Liberty was still vacant, and the stone crevices in the courtyard were overgrown with weeds, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and even the statue of Liberty in the center of the dry pool had collapsed.
As he passed by the street, Roy seemed to feel something, and glanced at the pharmacy at the street.
Then he stopped and said to Moira and Sabrina, who were walking in front:
"I'm going to see my old friend, let's go first!"
Moira knew that the old friend he was talking about was Mrs. Winnie's big black cat, so she obediently dragged her sister Sabrina home.
Roy turned around and came to the bush wall of Mrs. Winnie's potion shop, just in time to see the Nightblade Leopard poking its head out from under the bush wall......
But before Roy could squat down, he saw a pair of delicate leather shoes appear beside him, and looking up along the thick radish legs, it turned out to be Mrs. Winnie.
Mrs. Winnie looked at Roy with a smile on her face and greeted him:
"Roy."
"Hello, Mrs. Winnie!" Roy said respectfully.
Speaking of which, this Mrs. Winnie can be regarded as helping Roy.
"I heard you've been working on the Partington plane?" Mrs. Winnie asked Roy.
Roy nodded, "I usually work in the mines of the Partington plane. ”
Mrs. Winnie stared at Roy and said to him, "I am looking for you this time because I want to ask you for something. ”
Seeing Mrs. Winnie's solemn appearance, Roy also became serious: "You said, I will do what I can do." ”
Mrs. Winnie squatted down with difficulty, and it looked like her knees should not be very comfortable.
She crouched beside the Nightblade Leopard and stroked the top of the Nightblade Leopard's head with her hand, her eyes as if she were staring at her own son......
Mrs. Winnie's voice was a little hoarse, a little faintly sad:
"This little guy has grown up, I used to pick up some fish at the fish market to feed him, now he eats enough food for our family for two weeks, and it needs to have a wider living space, if you can, it is better to return to its race, but it has been living in the world of elves, and I am worried that it will not be accepted by its race, so I would like to ask you to help take it to the plane of Partington, and let it live in the jungle over there for a while, and regain some wildness."
Then she looked at Roy, stared into his eyes, and said:
"I know it has a good relationship with you and trusts you, and you're going to take care of it for me, right?"
"Of course, Mrs. Winnie!" Roy was taken aback by Mrs. Winnie's actions and said, "Well, I mean...... I'll take care of it, but Mrs. Winnie, are you really going to let it go back into the bush? ”
"Yes, its life can only be made whole if it returns to the jungle."
Mrs. Winnie tugged at the fur on the Nightblade Leopard's face with her hand, but the Nightblade Leopard only turned his head slightly to avoid it, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction......
