The Merchant Guild

The song ' Claire's Summer ' reignited the passion of the entire Elf Academy.

Klayr's piece has a simple, brisk, fresh, natural, and lively rhythm. With a brand new style, Klayr has become a sensation in the academy and has become one of the most popular figures there.

In the academy, many young elves were Klayr's followers, and they called Klayr His Highness Wagner.

It was precisely because of Klayr's outstanding performance that a concert was successfully held at the academy.

The only invited audience for this concert was students from the Elf Academy, but even so, the entire academy's large playground was packed with onlookers.

In recent years, Klayr has released two new compositions almost every year, each one outstanding and stylistically diverse, always offering listeners a fresh experience...

While Klayr was performing at the Academy Dance again, Roy had already boarded Supply Ship docked at Castleton Harbour and was heading once more to Padesto City in the Pattington Plane.

After receiving Leishande's letter, Roy waited until the weekend to ask his mentors for a day off, and then on Saturday night, he boarded a military Supply Ship to travel to Pattington Island.

Upon arriving at Pattington Island, Roy didn't dare to delay for a moment. He quickly passed through the Teleportation Portal, found a carriage in the Padesto City, and took the carriage to the place that Leishande had arranged in the letter.

This is a suburb of Padesto City, with an Apple Orchard across the street and a dense forest on the other side.

Leishande had been waiting here for almost half a month. He usually set up a simple tent on the edge of the jungle, while the argali sheep carrying the goods hid in the jungle behind it.

He didn't have the same Business Certificate as Roy, and fearing that the military's Elf Warrior would confiscate his Magic Herbs, he never dared to transport them to Padesto City.

When he saw Roy jump down from a carriage, Leishande immediately leaped up from the tree stump at the tent entrance and strode toward Roy.

Leishande said to Roy with some delight, "We've finally been waiting for you. These past few days have been filled with anxiety, fearing that the Elf Warrior would storm into the jungle and confiscate our argali caravan."

Roy patted Leishande on the shoulder with delight and said, "I came here as soon as I received your letter."

"Next time I'll be able to estimate the time better. I'll send someone to Padesto City a few days in advance to deliver a letter to you. By the time you arrive in Padesto City, our caravan will have arrived just in time, which will make it easier to avoid risks," Leishande said with great enthusiasm.

"Even if a military patrol intercepts you, remember not to run away or resist. Keep an eye on your goods and let them take you back to Padesto City. If you can write to me, write to me as soon as possible. If you can't write to me, then wait for me in Padesto City. I come to Padesto City every few months. I have a way to get you out of the military prison."

Roy said to Leishande.

Leishande quickly wrote it down, then picked up a bamboo whistle and blew it loudly.

The 'coo coo coo' sound was like the howling of an owl in the forest.

Before long, the branches and leaves in the jungle rustled, and Langbo led a argali sheep out of the woods first, followed by a herd of argali sheep carrying a large amount of Magic Herbs, with Jiade Leishande's nephew, following at the very back.

Langbo seemed very happy when he saw Roy.

They quickly unloaded all the Magic Herbs, another hundred bundles, and they were still a mixture of various Magic Herbs.

Roy examined the bundles of Magic Herbs and pointed to the Golden Thorn Grass among them, saying to Leishande, "I wanted to say last time that Magic Herbs like Golden Thorn Grass and Royal Blood Grass can no longer be considered Elementary Magic Herbs. They are more valuable. In the future, when you bundle Magic Herbs, try to pick out these intermediate herbs and put them separately so that you can sell them for a higher price."

Leishande chuckled and said, "These herbal medicine merchants have always bought herbs this way when they come to the plateau; everyone's used to doing it this way..."

Since Leishande said that, Roy didn't say anything more.

After inspecting the Magic Herbs, Roy took out the shields, animal traps, and fifty boxes of Elf Biscuit he had purchased, along with six precious magical weapons: two Pagliou War Spear that flowed with magical light, three Magic Secret Sword with runes engraved on their blades, and a Storm Bow with wind magic.

Roy spent nearly three hundred Magic Crystal Stone on just these three magical weapons.

Seeing these magical weapons, Leishande was overjoyed, and he hoped that Roy would bring more of these magical weapons.

The total value of the supplies Roy brought was about a thousand Magic Crystal Stone, which just covered the cost of the Magic Herbs.

After successfully completing the transaction, everyone sat down together in front of the makeshift tent.

When Roy spoke of the Resistance Army's battles on the Pagisto Plateau, Leishande, with a worried expression, described the situation on the plateau to everyone.

On the Pagisto Plateau, the Elf Headhunters were all brave and skilled cavalrymen. They were adept at using wolf pack tactics. If they could win, they would chase and fight to the death. If they couldn't win, they would turn around and flee on their argali sheep, darting around in a swarm of bees. They were agile, mobile, and extremely difficult to deal with.

Furthermore, headhunters have the support of many mine owners.

The Resistance Army and the headhunters engaged in several battles, but each time the Resistance Army suffered heavy losses.

In fact, Roy had already anticipated this, so he wasn't too surprised to hear Leishande say that.

Seeing the bitter look on Leishande's face, Roy knew he should say something comforting. After thinking carefully, he said to Leishande:

"Now that the war has begun, we must continue fighting."

He has recently been reflecting on why so many Half-Elf live on the Pagisto Plateau, yet this remains unknown to most people.

After repeated discussions with Klayr, he discovered that the Elven Nobles in Padesto City were not actually unaware of the existence of the Half-Elf on the Pagisto Plateau. They simply wanted to sell Elf Slaves to the plateau, which is why they deliberately concealed some information about the Pagisto Plateau.

Roy continued to Leishande, "In the past, before the Silver Moon Elf military had moved into the Pattington Plane, the Padesto City was actually in the hands of the Elven Nobles, led by Lord Alvis."

At the same time, they are the largest Slave Traders in the Pattington Plane.

In addition to selling Elf Slaves to slave ships at sea, they also sold them to Mine Owners on the Pagisto Plateau.

That's why they won't reveal the secrets of the Pagisto Plateau, but now the Elven military controls the Pattington Plane.

The truth will eventually come out. I estimate that it won't be long before the Silver Moon Elf military finds out about the battle on the Pagisto Plateau.

"Whichever side the military sides support will be destined to win, so you'd better make your plans early."

"I can't make a decision on this matter; I need to go back and discuss it with everyone."

Leishande appeared somewhat flustered and spoke with great concern.

Before this, he clearly hadn't realized things would turn out this badly. If those Highland Headhunters had any connection with the military, the Resistance Army might be powerless to resist.

Roy then said to Leishande:

"In short, you need to give me news as soon as possible. If you can't stay on the Pagisto Plateau, you can move to this forest north of the Griffon Bulwark Mountain Range. I believe those Highland Headhunters won't dare to come down from the plateau."

Leishande could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

After the transaction was completed, Roy quickly returned to Padesto City and left the Pattington Plane through the Teleportation Portal in the square.

Roy returned to Castleton City with the magical grasslands on Monday afternoon.

After disembarking, Roy sent Woods and Miss Tiffany back to the Black Pearl, while he, Sabrina, Moira returned to their home on Brown Street.

The teachers at the Elf Academy have very strict punishments for students who miss classes. Even though they have asked for leave in advance, they still have to make up for the missed lessons and submit a neatly copied set of class notes.

Roy has been spending all his free time in the library lately.

While studying the geography of the Endless Sea, he discovered that the nautical charts left by Abbott actually covered all the islands in the Endless Sea, including some unnamed islands and islands hidden beneath the sea, which were not even recorded in textbooks.

He's currently in the library, mainly researching related materials to verify Abbott's inferences about the many islands in the Endless Sea.

Every afternoon is the busiest time at Castleton Library, where elves always come in groups of three or five to borrow books. Some elves sit at the desks with books in their hands and read, while others simply lean against the bookshelves and read at lightning speed.

Roy sat on a bench, flipping through a geography book, carefully comparing it with an archipelago drawn by Abbott.

He was certain that Abbott must have read this book when he drew the archipelago; the book's title was even clearly written in parentheses under the names of the islands.

It must be said that Abbott drew the many islands of the Endless Sea in great detail.

By piecing these nautical charts together, we can probably obtain an incredibly detailed map of the entire Endless Sea.

Miss Tiffany and Moira sat quietly opposite Roy.

Miss Tiffany held a Water Magic book. Every time she drew intricate symbols in the air with her fingers, a magical aura of Water Elemental would flash by. This was an overload manifestation of her extremely high affinity with the Water Elemental.

Miss Tiffany Miss Tiffany usually maintains a cool and aloof demeanor, but the more she does so, the more elves come up to her and strike up a conversation.

Roy felt sorry for the elves every time he saw their helpless expressions as they were turned away.

Moira usually spends her time in the library catching up on her day's course notes. Whenever Roy sees her biting her Quill Pen, her brows furrowed, Roy stops for a moment.

Roy put a geography book back on the shelf and saw Klayr standing at the library entrance, looking around curiously.

Silver Moon Elf would occasionally come up to him to say hello, and Klayr could only force a smile in response.

Klayr only noticed Roy peeking out from behind a row of bookshelves when she picked up the elven classical music score, casually dismissed the surrounding elves, and quickly walked over to Roy, asking, "Roy, why haven't I seen you again this weekend?"

Miss Tiffany and Moira both looked up at Klayr.

Roy replied in a low voice, "I took some time to visit the Pattington Plane, and this time I brought back some Magic Herbs."

"Huh? Roy, are you really planning to go into the business of Magic Herbs?" Klayr stared at Roy incredulously.

Roy nodded in response, "Of course, I've already opened up this trade route, and I'll be regularly transporting Magic Herbs from the Pattington Plane."

Klayr lowered her voice even further. "I've heard that a few Magic Herbs suppliers have their eyes on you, so you'd better be careful lately."

"If you want to do business with Magic Herbs, it would be best to Castleton City the Magic Herb Merchant Guild in Castletown. That way, things will be easier, and your business will receive support from the Magic Herb Merchant Guild ..." Klayr suggested to Roy.

"There's Magic Herb Merchant Guild in Castleton City?" Roy asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes! And I heard from a friend that the president of that chamber of commerce is a major herbalist." Klayr patiently explained to Roy.

"Okay, I'll try to join the Chamber of Commerce," Roy replied.

He plans to stock his potions in all the magic Potion Shop in Castleton City next week.

Before that, joining the Magic Herb Merchant Guild wouldn't have been a bad idea...

Roy walked out of the Magic Herbs shop. This time he successfully sold three bundles of Magic Herbs. Recently, the Magic Herbs in Castleton City has become saturated, and magic Potion Shop do not have a high demand for Magic Herbs.

Especially during the rainy season, Magic Herbs become worthless once they become damp and rot, so Roy really wants to sell these Magic Herbs.

I've been busy with this matter for the past few days.

As Roy stepped out of the magic Potion Shop, he noticed the elf across the street adjusting his hood and sitting at a round table on the street.

Upon seeing Roy walk out of the potions shop, the elf actually turned around, his back to Roy...

Roy stood on the street for a long time before a Long Carriage finally arrived.

Roy boarded the carriage and sat by the window. As the carriage slowly moved forward, Roy turned his head to look out the window and saw the elf with the hood on his head again. He quickly left the round table and jumped into a carriage.

The carriage followed Roy's Long Carriage the whole way...

Roy followed them all the way to the Cross Street Intersection of Brown Street before finally getting out of the carriage.

The moment he stepped onto the stone pavement, an arrow shot out silently. Roy didn't even have time to react; he could only dodge to the side, but it was too late. The arrow struck the Hammer of Judgment Book in his arms.
