499. Autumn

As autumn enters Castleton City, the starry sky at night looks particularly clear...

When countless stars were twinkling overhead, Roy had actually thought about whether one of them could be the sun.

There are almost no pedestrians on the clean Brown Street, only the sound of the Da Nei River water flowing.

Night Blade Leopard followed Roy with his head drooped. After all, it is a Warcraft. The adult Night Blade Leopard also has the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old child. Although it cannot speak Elven Language, it can understand it clearly. Mrs. Winnie makes it follow Roy...

Although it also longed for the outside world, the moment it left home still made it feel quite emotional.

Roy and Night Blade Leopard pushed open the courtyard door of their home. The lights were already on in the courtyard next door, and Sabrina could be seen walking around in the living room through the glass window.

At this time, Moira was sitting on the wall of the courtyard. With a strong push of his hands, he fell lightly into the yard of Roy's house.

Seeing Night Blade Leopard next to Roy's legs, Moira's eyes widened, and he squatted in front of Night Blade Leopard, trying to touch its soft hair with his hands.

Night Blade Leopard, however, lowered his head, stared at Moira with his eyes warily, and made a 'wuwu' sound from his mouth.

Moira was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand and asked Roy: "Ah, why did you bring it back?"

Roy quickly comforted Night Blade Leopard, took it under the porch, and said, "Mrs. Winnie wanted it to return to the jungle, but didn't want to do such a troublesome thing on its own, so he entrusted it to me and asked me to take it to Pattington Plane."

Moira stared at Roy with his eyes rounded:

"So... you really want to take it to Pattington Plane?"

Roy shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "This is the only way."

Roy walked into the house. The house must have been cleaned frequently, and there was not much dust.

After taking a shower, I washed my clothes and dried them on the second floor terrace.

During this time, Moira was alone on the terrace practicing 'thrust'. This is the most commonly used skill by assassins when ambushing enemies. It turns the body into a beam of light and reaches the opponent directly...

There are several pots of green plants on the rooftop, two of which are Roy's favorite Light Flower. Although the Holy Light Particle produced by Light Flower is now of minimal help to Roy, these Light Flower are still well taken care of.

Seeing Roy wearing shorts and vest holding a wooden basin walking up to the second floor, Moira blushed and wanted to step forward to help.

Roy did not refuse. He asked Moira to wipe the clothesline on the rooftop with a wet rag, and the two of them quickly hung up a set of clothes to dry.

Then he sat on the bench on the rooftop, back to back.

Moira curled up his knees, hugged his calves with his hands, raised his head and looked up at the stars.

She rested her head on Roy's shoulder, and her pointed ears twitched slightly from time to time. She felt a little itchy when she touched Roy's short hair.

Both of them were enjoying a moment of silence, neither of them speaking.

When Moira turned his head and secretly looked at Roy's profile, Roy happened to turn his head as well. Everything seemed so natural. Roy couldn't help but peck her delicate lips.

Moira's lips are very soft, with a faint sweetness, the taste of elves...

He never dreamed that one day he would actually kiss an elf. Roy felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat at this moment.

Moira's eyes seemed to melt, and they looked at Roy in confusion.

Snow-white arms wrapped around Roy's neck...

At this moment, the door to the courtyard next door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and Ms. Jillian dragged a flatbed truck into the courtyard from the outside.

Sabrina quickly went out to help, and the sounds of Ms. Jillian and Sabrina talking in low voices came from the yard.

Moira was so frightened that he stood up quickly, with a face like a ripe red apple.

She stepped on the rooftop railing with one foot, and her body turned into an afterimage, landing silently by the window of the next room. Her body was as light as a civet cat, and she got into the house with a swish.

Not long after, Moira also walked out of the house wearing a suspender pajamas and stood sleepily under the eaves, looking like a good girl.

Roy threw the letter written to Viesel into the mailbox. He was not at Castleton City recently, so there was not much information that could be written in his heart.

At present, the biggest change in Castleton City is that a large group of the Grimm Empire merchant ships have arrived at the port. These merchant ships are buying Magic Herbs, Magic Inscription Construct and Mithril Ingot. The most exaggerated thing is that in the magic market, the price of Magic Herbs has almost tripled so far.

Many elf magicians in the city had to cut down their expenses as much as possible when preparing Magic Herbs.

There is no way! The current Magic Herbs is too expensive, and it has even affected the lives of the elves.

After mailing the letter to Viesel, Roy hired a carriage from Lower District's carriage shop. The carriage drove all the way out of Castleton City and drove toward Magala Jungle along a main road.

It takes a whole day for the carriage to travel from Castleton City to Ellington Castle.

The closer to Magala Jungle, the harder the road becomes. Roy has no intention of riding a horse. Although the carriage ride is a bit bumpy, it allows him to sit in the carriage and think continuously.

He has drawn the area of Sun Island Bay on a piece of parchment paper. As for how to drive away the fishmen on Sun Island, there is no good method for Roy so far.

This time, Ellington Castle and Roy wanted to fulfill their previous promise to Countess Amelia. When they had time, they would go to the castle to see her and talk to her about what was happening in the outside world.

In fact, a lot of things happened during this period.

The carriage drove into Magala Jungle, where there was already an autumn scenery. There were many berries along the way that had entered the ripe stage, hanging on the top of the trees like bunches of black grapes.

Ellington Castle is still so dilapidated. Apart from the stone piers of the two sculptures at the gate, only the two big feet of the statues are left.

The carriage stopped at Ellington Castle. Roy got out of the carriage, paid the coachman one hundred Kole, and made an appointment with the coachman to pick him up here tomorrow. The coachman hurriedly left Ellington Castle with the carriage.

If we leave later, it will probably get dark before the carriage leaves Malaga Jungle...

Walk into the castle along the arched stone bridge at the door, pass through the city gate and enter the small square inside the castle. There are many traces of camping here.

Ellington Castle has always been a paradise for junior explorers. There are so many interesting rumors hidden here that they scare ordinary elves away...

This is also a very significant historical site. This castle happened to witness the rise and fall of the Elven Dynasty. The abandonment of Ellington Castle also indirectly confirmed the end of the Elven Dynasty.

He took out some simple luggage from Magic Pouch and set up a tent in the corridor outside the weapons warehouse.

Roy then walked along the secret path to the platform where Bread Tree was planted. Then Roy climbed up the tree and picked a Breadfruit.

Just when Roy cut open Breadfruit with a dagger and took out a room of fruit pulp from inside, Roy felt a cool breeze blowing around him. He turned his head and looked under the shade of a tree aside. Sure enough, Countess Amelia was sitting there quietly.

"Let me think about how long it has been since I last saw you, little guy. The last time I saw you was probably a year ago..."

Countess Amelia held his chin with one hand and sat there talking to himself.

"Sorry, Lord Countess Amelia, I have been busy with some things at Pattington Plane during this time, and I am not at Castleton City, so I can't come to Ellington Castle to visit you!" Roy felt that he should explain it to Countess Amelia.

"What are you busy with at Pattington Plane?" Countess Amelia asked curiously.

"It's a long story. It starts from Lord Alvis at Pattington Plane Selling Elf Slaves..."

Roy leisurely told the story of Pattington Plane and the Half-Elfs who lived there.

"I have heard about Pattington Plane, but you said that recently, Gray Dwarf Bandit actually wanted to attack Empress Ivini Islands?" Countess Amelia's attention was completely attracted by this incident.

"That's right, they united with the Siren Legion to try to seize Empress Ivini Islands!" Roy said.

"Ha! It seems that someone must have forced this group of Gray Dwarf into panic, otherwise they would not be able to attack the island where Silver Moon Elf is stationed." Countess Amelia judged with certainty.

"Recently Castleton City has come to a large group of Imperial Merchant. They are purchasing Magic Herbs in large quantities. I heard that Plane War broke out over there at the Grimm Empire..."

Roy continued to tell Countess Amelia that he had learned the news.

Countess Amelia nodded, then closed his eyes and said, "Every once in a while, those Abyss Hell forces are always ready to move. This time they are targeting the imperial people. Elf Continent will not suffer much impact. Humans, elves, and dwarves have formed an alliance, and those guys are still trying to find a breakthrough from Human World. If conditions permit, those human merchants will still help if they can..."

Roy sat under Bread Tree and chatted with Countess Amelia almost the entire night.

Countess Amelia always has unique insights into many things, which has benefited Roy a lot.

After completing his promise to Countess Amelia, Roy took a carriage specially rushed to pick him up at noon the next day and left Ellington Castle in a hurry. Roy didn't get a good rest at all last night, so he caught up on his sleep in the carriage...

I slept almost all the way, and when Roy took the carriage back to Castleton City, it was just past midnight.

The carriage stopped at the door of Roy's house, and Roy opened the door and walked in.

Night Blade Leopard was lying on a stone slab in front of the house, looked up at Roy, flicked his round tail, and ignored Roy.

There is also a simple message in the mailbox at the door: Roy: Meet at the pier at the entrance of Castleton Harbour at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I have already heard about the dwarf craftsman.

The signature at the back is Klayr. Roy is familiar with Klayr's notes. There is no doubt that this is the message written by Klayr himself.

Roy pushed the door and walked into the living room. When passing by the dining room, the fruit basket on the dining table was filled with fresh fruits. Roy guessed that this should be the work of Moira...

I took a few berries and stuffed them into my mouth, took a shower, and went to sleep.

The next morning, Roy arrived at the port of Castleton Harbour on time and saw Klayr standing in front of a merchant ship.

Klayr was followed by several Silver Moon Elf followers and was talking to several Imperial Merchant.

Roy walked over quickly...

When Klayr saw Roy, his eyes lit up and he introduced to those Imperial Merchant: "This is my close friend - Roy. He is also the employer who recruits dwarf craftsmen this time."

When Imperial Merchant saw Roy's human-like face, he was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"We can discuss it in detail on the ship, but I will have a careful discussion with the dwarf craftsmen on our ship according to the preparation conditions you mentioned yesterday. If there is no suitable wood, it will be almost impossible for you to build a seaworthy Three-Masted Sailboat in the near future."

At the invitation of Imperial Merchant, Roy and Klayr boarded the ship Great Sea Ship.

Roy came to the deck and saw dwarves among the crew...

Imperial Merchant brought Roy and Klayr to the captain's room. There was a very comfortable-looking conference table, and a group of people were sitting around the conference table.

Imperial Merchant, who spoke fluently Elven Language, took the initiative to sit opposite Roy and asked him, "I heard that you want to build Three-Masted Sailboat. Can I take the liberty to ask where these Three-Masted Sailboat will be built?"

"On the same seat." Roy never thought about telling Pattington Plane...

Imperial Merchant hesitated for a moment, then frowned and asked tentatively, "Do you have any wood reserves in advance?"

Roy said honestly, "There is no such thing, but the forest resources in that plane are abundant, and giant trees hundreds of meters high can be seen everywhere."

"The wood that is cut directly cannot be used to build ships before it is completely dry..."

Imperial Merchant whispered to Roy.

A dwarf craftsman walked in from outside, saw Imperial Merchant and saluted and asked, "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"If you are given enough manpower and asked to build Three-Masted Sailboat on a plane without any preparation work, how long will it take you to build it?"

"If we can use local materials, it will take four and a half years!" the old dwarf craftsman replied without hesitation.

Roy I didn't expect it would take so long, and I was a little dumbfounded for a while.

There was no way he could wait four years for a Three-Masted Sailboat.

He suddenly thought that that night, when everyone was chatting together, they said that if the existing Three-Masted Sailboat was disassembled and assembled on the Pattington Plane and Sun Island Bay, the shipbuilding time might be greatly shortened.

So Roy asked the old dwarf craftsman, "If I have a Three-Masted Sailboat, but I want to dismantle this Three-Masted Sailboat, transport it to that seat, and assemble it at the port dock over there... Is it feasible?"

The old dwarf craftsman did not speak immediately, but looked at the Imperial Merchant.

Seeing Imperial Merchant nodded, he said, "Although there are some difficulties, we should be able to overcome them..."
