Roy's First Business Deal

The Resistance Army did not choose any elven villages as their settlement. Instead, the elves chose to build a village deep in the mountains to escape the pursuit of headhunters on the plateau.

The elves built many treehouses here.

The trees here are mostly fir and Red Pine, with straight trunks. After cutting off the excess branches, if you want to build a treehouse in the tree, you have to nail some base supports to the trunk. Therefore, the built wooden houses are very short. However, these treehouses look neat and tidy, which shows that these elves are all good at woodworking.

Some Old Elf sat on wooden chairs in front of the cabins, basking in the sun. There were also many elf children and elf women in the settlement.

The elves saw Leishande and swarmed around him...

"Uncle Leishande, how long are you going to be gone this time? Could you take Jim with you? I heard life in Rampart Town is relatively stable..."

An elven woman with a headscarf blocked Leishande's path, her face displaying a fawning expression.

Right in front of her stood a half-grown elf boy.

This elf boy seemed a bit timid and thin, with delicate features. His golden hair lay smoothly on his forehead...

The boy was clearly reluctant to leave his mother and resisted, trying to break free from the fairy daughter's embrace, but the woman held him tightly.

The elves around him were also watching Leishande, all wanting to hear from him what was happening outside.

Leishande touched his nose, pondered for a moment, looked at the elves around him, and said to them:

"I'm going to Padesto City this time, and I'll probably be bringing back a batch of supplies. I'm afraid I won't be able to bring the children to Rampart Town."

The surrounding elves looked disappointed, while some of the elf children let out a joyful whisper.

The elven woman, still somewhat unwilling to give up, asked Leishande:

"Leishande, if you go to Padesto City, can you take Jim with you? I heard there are no Slave Traders left in Padesto City ..."

The elven woman bit her lip.

Despite the deep reluctance in her heart, the thought of the headhunters on the plateau forced her to find a way to send her son away...

Only by leaving this place can we escape the clutches of the headhunters...

Leishande hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Roy, who was walking ahead. Seeing that Roy didn't seem displeased, Reshande's heart softened, and he addressed the group:

"Alright, but I should make it clear beforehand that when I took the children to Rampart Town last time, we encountered a headhunting team on the way. In order to stop us, they even chased us out of the Pagisto Plateau. If it weren't for this Adventure Group saving us, I and the children would probably have been taken to the mine by those headhunters. No one can say for sure whether this will succeed. Anyway, the decision is in your hands. Think it over carefully."

Upon hearing what Leishande said, some elves who were initially tempted suppressed their thoughts...

Roy stopped in an open space in the village, where a group of young elves were practicing martial arts. They were wearing leather armor made of monster hide, but due to the manufacturing process, the armor was very rough, almost as if it were pieced together from pieces of leather, with some coarse hemp thread connecting each piece of leather.

The leather is quite good Warcraft leather, but the craftsmanship is terrible...

The hunting bows they carried were all made of cedar wood and were good for hunting, but they were clearly insufficient for fighting headhunters due to their short range.

The weapons they carried were mostly short daggers and spears, suggesting that longswords were scarce.

Sure enough, there was a row of Hardwood Sword on a wooden shelf next to the Training Ground, which were probably used during training.

Seeing these young elves learning martial arts, Roy recalled his time at the Elf Academy, when after learning martial arts every day, he would go home and practice diligently with Moira.

He glanced at Moira, Moira was whispering with Sabrina and hadn't even noticed him.

Before long, Mulin led a group of young elves to move bundles of Magic Herbs to this clearing in the woods.

These Magic Herbs had all been dried and were bundled up, piled on the ground like haystacks.

Roy had long heard that the Pattington Plane was rich in Magic Herbs, but he had never seen a large-scale herb trade. This time, Mulin brought out fifty bundles of Magic Herbs from the warehouse and piled them up like a small mountain in the open space.

Roy's Magic Pouch could only hold a maximum of one-tenth of the Magic Herbs. However, Klayr, Woods, Sabrina, and Miss Tiffany in the Adventure Group also had Magic Pouch. Klayr's Magic Pouch was the largest, but she also carried a lot of miscellaneous items, so the space she could free up was very limited.

"Why are there so many?"

Roy looked at the many Magic Herbs in front of him and was somewhat troubled.

In fact, ever since the Half-Elf rioted in Padesto City and the Teleportation Portal to the Pattington Plane was sealed by the Silver Moon Elf army, the entire plane's trade in Magic Herbs has come to a standstill.

The situation in Padesto City and Rampart Town is relatively better. Although the military's purchasing agents have a monopoly on the herb trade, at least they can still sell their herbs by lowering the prices.

Half-Elf like Kaka, who live south of the Bulwark Mountain Range, and the Half-Elf on the Pagisto Plateau, all face a problem: the sales channels for Magic Herbs have been cut off.

They dared not expose themselves to the Silver Moon Elf army, so many of the Magic Herbs they collected had to be stockpiled.

"We just moved some out of a warehouse. We can't pay Kole, and we don't have many Magic Crystal Stone on hand. All we can give you are these Magic Herbs," Mulin said apologetically to Roy.

"I haven't paid much attention to Magic Herbs before, and I'm not very familiar with the market. How do you calculate the price of these Magic Herbs?"

As Roy spoke, he tried to lift a bundle of Magic Herbs.

It feels quite heavy, indicating it was compressed very tightly.

Mulin said, "A bundle of Magic Herbs like this used to sell for twenty Magic Crystal Stone. Now I can sell it to you for half price, but I don't need you to pay us Magic Crystal Stone. What I need are standard weapons and armor. The weapons should preferably be longswords and Battle Shortbow, and the armor should preferably be standard light armor."

Roy knew that Klayr's family ran an armor shop in Castleton City, so he whispered to Klayr, "Klayr, how much does a set of Light Armor cost in Castleton City?"

Klayr was slightly taken aback. Although his family owned an armor shop, he didn't really know how much the armor cost. After all, he was the young master Wagner of the Klayr family and the youngest musician in Castleton City.

"I don't know, but if you want to buy it, I can definitely give you the lowest possible discount..." Klayr replied softly.

Standing beside Roy Sabrina said, "A set of excellent Light Armor without magic runes costs fifteen Magic Crystal Stone. A set of fine light armor costs about eight Magic Crystal Stone. If it has Magic Inscription Construct, even the worst Magic Inscription Construct will cost sixty Magic Crystal Stone."

Roy nodded and walked back to Mulin: "How many bundles of Magic Herbs are there?"

Mulin quickly said, "One hundred bundles. If you can take more, I can go to the warehouse and get some more."

Roy was speechless. He was just asking how many bundles there were, not that he thought there weren't enough herbs.

"That's all for now. I'm not sure I can take them all. One hundred bundles of Magic Herbs would be worth one thousand Magic Crystal Stone Magic Crystal Stone, which is roughly enough to exchange for one hundred and twenty-five sets of exquisite Light Armor..." Roy said.

Mulin's eyes lit up.

She hadn't expected that by giving Roy a 50% discount on the price of Magic Herbs, Roy would also manage to offer a lower price for the Light Armor than the merchant group.

Moreover, in the current Pattington Plane, the Silver Moon Elf have been sealing off the plane's portals to prevent another rebellion by the Half-Elf, so even if you have money, you can't buy these weapons and armor.

She quickly took a leather pouch from her waist, and when she held it in her hand, the pouch made a rustling sound.

Roy took the leather bag into his hands and realized that it was very heavy.

Roy untied the knot and discovered that it contained Magic Crystal Stone.

Mulin said to Roy, "This bag contains four hundred Magic Crystal Stone, and we also need some weapons."

Her eyes were fixed on Roy...

Roy held up the money bag, shook it near his ear for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid we'll run off with the money?"

Mulin gritted her teeth; of course she was afraid.

In reality, these Magic Crystal Stone and Magic Herbs are of little use if left in the settlement; it's better to take them out and gamble on them.

"If that's the case, then I've misjudged you... I know you won't."

After Mulin finished speaking, she actually stepped forward and gave Roy a big hug with her strong arms...

Although she is a female elf, to be fair, Mulin is not pretty, and she is tall with a very fit body, with very obvious muscle groups in her arms and abdomen.

Klayr, Woods, Sabrina, and Miss Tiffany were all busy organizing their personal belongings in the Magic Pouch.

Clearly, the ladies carried a lot of things, and none of them could be easily discarded, so the available space was very limited.

Klayr's Magic Pouch was even larger Roy's, and although he also carried a lot of personal belongings, it was filled with quite a few bundles of Magic Herbs.

After filling his magic Magic Pouch with over eighty bundles of Magic Herbs, Leishande finally found himself with no room left. Since the remaining herbs couldn't fit inside, he suggested, "The Magic Pouch Magic Belt is full. Let's use the argali sheep to carry the rest. The weapons and armor we've acquired will also need these argali sheep to transport them back."

There weren't many argali sheep in the settlement, but Leishande brought back twelve.

The remaining seventeen bundles of Magic Herbs were tied to the backs of six argali sheep.

There were also six argali sheep, one of which was ridden by Leishande and his son Bolang.

The four spare argali sheep can carry some elf children.

According to Leishande's plan, a argali sheep can carry two elf children, so he can take eight children with him this time...

Many elves were waiting with their children in the forest clearing. When they saw that Leishande was ready to leave, they quickly approached him, hoping that Leishande would take their children with him.

Leishande could only select some children who were independent enough and young enough to carry them onto the backs of the argali sheep.

Parting is always filled with sadness...

Mulin escorted the Adventure Group Adventure Group all the way to the mountain pass before climbing to the highest peak to watch them depart.

The Adventure Group walked quite far, and when they looked back, they could still see Mulin's figure on the mountaintop.

The Adventure Group followed a forest path hidden in the dense forest for two days and finally emerged from the mountains on the edge of the Pagisto Plateau.

Immediately afterwards, the Adventure Group descended the mountain along a winding Mountain Road...

On this Mountain Road, the argali sheep's advantage was very obvious. They could move almost freely on the rugged Mountain Road, while the Adventure Group's warhorses had to be very cautious.

Leishande and his son Langbo traveled to the Padesto City with Adventure Group.

Roy hadn't originally planned to pass through Rampart Town, but Leishande brought a group of elf children, so he had to take a detour through Rampart Town.

The Adventure Group left the Pagisto Plateau without encountering the headhunting squad, and smoothly traversed the hills below the plateau.

As they got closer to Rampart Town, Kaka's expression grew increasingly serious.

Kaka is going home.

With parting imminent, everyone in the Adventure Group felt a little down...

Fortunately, Kaka joined them on this adventure; otherwise, Roy and his companions would have had no chance against those Highland Headhunters.

Kaka not only undertook all the reconnaissance tasks, but also achieved success every time he rode his griffin to launch a surprise attack on the hunters.

As we emerged from the hilly area, the Bulwark Mountain Range hidden in the twilight became clear in the distance.

A little further ahead lies the airspace occupied by the griffins.

Under this sky, even the Silver Pegasus Warrior had to retreat...

"We'll be back when the next semester ends. We'll bring you some supplies then. If you need anything else, just write to me..." Roy comforted Kaka.

He put his arm around Kaka's shoulder, and the two walked to the griffin.

The griffin crouched down beside Kaka and let out a low growl. Kaka quickly reassured the griffin before mounting the saddle.

Taking advantage of the moment it leaped into the sky, the griffin spread its wings and carried Kaka towards the summit of the Bulwark Mountain Range.

Kaka leaned down to look, waved to Roy, and shouted, "Roy, next time you're on an expedition, don't forget to let me know..."

"I know!"

Soon, with the griffin flying at full speed, Kaka became a tiny black dot in the air.

Roy's Adventure Group continued eastward along the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range, traveling for seven days before finally arriving at Rampart Town.

Roy also became a stowaway this time. He led his Adventure Group to the outskirts of Rampart Town before releasing the elf children, telling them to follow the stream eastward and they would reach Rampart Town.

The elf children could only nervously hold hands and walk step by step toward the Rampart Town in the dim twilight.

Woods secretly followed the elf children, making sure they entered Rampart Town before turning back.
