551 Outstanding Students
Woods spent more than half a month wandering in the snowy mountains of the Northern Plateau. He followed in the footsteps of the Half-Elf gatherer and, although he did not find a second new Winter Thorn Grass, he discovered that the climate here was indeed suitable for growing Winter Thorn Grass.
He searched for a long time on the snow-capped mountain, but unfortunately he did not find the Winter Thorn Grass. Instead, he encountered snow monsters several times.
Fortunately, he was a Claw Druid, and in times of crisis, he could transform into Earth Tyrant Bear to escape.
If it weren't for the fact that school was about to start, Woods would have preferred to continue his search in the snowy mountains.
After being ground and refined, Winter Thorn Grass can be used to make level 5 Magic Scroll. This high-level Magic Herbs is highly sought after by mages and is considered a rare and precious treasure.
The members of the Sakarram Adventure Group gathered at the northwest corner of the Central Square in Padesto City. Their journey through the Pattington Plane had come to an end, and they were still somewhat reluctant to leave; the holiday had simply been too short...
Because of Roy, the members of the Sakarram Adventure Group didn't even have a proper adventure during this holiday.
Sabrina worked as Elementary Martial Arts instructor in the Plateau City for nearly a month.
As an instructor, Sabrina needed to break down all the Elementary Martial Arts moves. After the moves that had already been memorized were broken down again, Sabrina seemed to have gained some new insights.
She initially couldn't quite understand some of Moira's thoughts when she was learning martial arts.
Now Sabrina finally understands why Jefferson said Moira was a born assassin.
It turns out that talent is something hidden within every elf's body; sometimes, it's something that can't be compensated for by hard work alone...
For Miss Tiffany, this journey to the Pattington Plane was utterly unpleasant.
Although she had seen Sun Island Bay and met the interesting siren Jiezena, she did not want to recall her time Sun Island Bay.
Miss Tiffany's only gain was the scene of killing the Sea Beast Priest in Sun Island Bay, a memory that still stirs her emotions to this day...
The members of the Sakarram Adventure Group stood in the square with different feelings.
Moira thought she was going to have to part ways with Roy, so she wrapped her arms around Roy's neck and clung to Roy like a koala, refusing to let go.
Her charming smile and coquettish manner made Roy have to hold her light body and whisper to her, "Everyone's watching, hurry up and get down!"
Roy had endless things to deal with every day in the Plateau City, and the nearly two-month vacation meant that he could only spend a handful of days with Moira.
Not only was Roy in charge of overseeing the construction of the port and docks on Sun Island Bay, but Roy also planned to build a lighthouse on the now-ruined Sun Island.
In addition, the reconstruction of abandoned mines on the Pagisto Plateau is also underway, mainly those mines in the Nikoba Mountain Range. Roy is worried that if he doesn't actively participate in the reconstruction, the Silver Pegasus Military Department might send some Mine Owners over.
In fact, the Silver Pegasus Legion hadn't anticipated that there would be so many mineral veins and so many mines on the plateau of the Pattington Plane...
Currently, the profits that the mines on the Pagisto Plateau bring to Roy have not only enabled him to build a large Mine Guard Regiment, but have also allowed him to build a city on the Pagisto Plateau.
This Plateau City was what truly shocked the Silver Pegasus Legion's leadership...
The high command of the Silver Pegasus Legion had no idea that Roy's most profitable business was actually trading Elementary Magic Herbs with Imperial Merchant.
That said, when Roy built the Plateau City on the Pagisto Plateau, Roy only invested a sum of Magic Crystal Stone during the initial preparations. After that, he regularly transported living supplies and food to the Plateau City...
In fact, he didn't spend much money.
The main building material for this city is Hollow Brick formed from the slag flowing from the Magic Furnace. These Hollow Brick come from three Black Iron Mine in the Gaxi Mountain Range. The Steel Bar needed for the main buildings in the city come from the Forging Workshop in the Gaxi Mountain Range.
The construction of this Plateau City was the result of the hard work of 12,000 Highland Slavers of war.
What truly cost Roy a large sum of money was Roy investment in modifying eleven Magic Airship.
In order to closely connect Padesto with the Plateau City, Roy invested heavily in modifying eleven Magic Airship, which was a considerable expense for Roy.
In addition, Roy launched a war against the fishmen of Sun Island, and the Mine Guard Regiment was stationed in Sun Island Bay, incurring huge daily expenses. However, in the end, the Mine Guard Regiment captured Sun Island Bay, making all the sacrifices worthwhile.
Currently, the territory occupied by the Silver Moon Elf in the Pattington Plane is about three times larger than it was five years ago.
Meanwhile, the Mine Guard Regiment has now expanded to 11,000 Elf Warrior.
The main force consisted of the Mine Guard Regiment Guard Regiment, composed of Half-Elf Warrior Half-Elf Warrior, which numbered approximately nine thousand.
The Griffon Cavalry Regiment had about a thousand griffons, and the Dark Moon Elf Assassin Squad also had a thousand Dark Moon Elf Warrior...
The Half-Elf Warrior of the Mine Guard Regiment are equivalent to the Silver Moon Elf Warrior of the Silver Pegasus Legion infantry Guard Regiment.
Roy thought these Half-Elf Warrior might be stronger.
The Griffon Cavalry Regiment could be considered a budget version of the Silver Pegasus Knight Order, giving Roy air superiority over the Pagisto Plateau.
This data was transmitted to the headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion, forcing the Silver Pegasus Legion's leadership to admit that Roy's development on the Pagisto Plateau was simply too rapid...
Unfortunately, Roy was a young officer personally promoted by Earl Swynborne, and although the higher-ups of the Silver Pegasus Legion were somewhat wary of him, they couldn't openly suppress him.
Roy's performance was outstanding among the younger generation of officers, especially in the Sun Island Naval Battle, where he defeated the Gray Dwarf Bandit in both island defense battles.
It must be said that the Earl Swynborne has a truly discerning eye...
"I'll go back to Castleton City with you!"
Roy said to Moira with a smile.
Moira's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons, and she couldn't help but cheer.
Roy appeared in the Central Square of Padesto City. Naturally, he did not need to queue to enter the Teleportation Portal. A group of Teleportation Portal guards formed a human wall to allow Roy and his party to pass through the Teleportation Portal first, and then the Teleportation Portal was allowed to pass normally.
Many elves at the Teleportation Portal stared curiously at Roy and his group, and some of the more curious elves whispered, "Who are they?"
"It must be the military! The one walking at the front should be Boss Roy, he's the only one who looks like a human!" an Elf Merchants behind him introduced.
"So that's Boss Roy. He looks a bit different from the rumors!" the elf exclaimed.
"The rumors are nothing but misinformation..."
Roy led everyone back to Pattington Island. In the past, everyone would take the Silver Pegasus Legion's supply Supply Ship back to Castleton City. This time, Roy did not go to the island's dock, but went directly back to Sheltered Fjord, where he arranged for a Three-Masted Sailboat to sail to Castleton Harbour.
The Three-Masted Sailboat carried a large quantity of Elementary Magic Herbs and Magic Metal ingots, which was the main reason Roy decided to send it back to Three-Masted Sailboat Castleton Harbour.
As the Three-Masted Sailboat approached Castleton Harbour, it encountered several Imperial Merchant anchored in the area. A group of human sailors gathered on the deck, and when they saw the ships passing by, they stood by the gunwale and curiously peered at them.
These Imperial Merchant have failed to hand over the assassins who have been disrupting the security of Castleton City, resulting in all Imperial Merchant being unable to dock. It is surprising that even after so much time has passed, neither side has shown any intention of compromising.
Roy quickly located the merchant ship of the Imperial Merchant Darwin among these Imperial Merchant.
He instructed the captain of the Three-Masted Sailboat to reduce speed, and then slowly approached the merchant ship.
Roy stood atop the head of the bronze ram at the bow of the ship, and soon the Imperial Merchant Darwin also appeared at the bow.
The two ships were not completely alongside each other, but they were very close. The constantly surging waves made the gap between the two ships sometimes large and sometimes small, so the crew built a sampan between the two ships.
Roy was the first to walk onto the merchant ship opposite, which was almost twice as long as his Three-Masted Sailboat Imperial Merchant.
On the deck of the Imperial Merchant, there was a crane with pulleys. Roy and the Imperial Merchant Darwin had a brief conversation, Darwin instructed the sailors on the merchant ship to operate the crane on the deck to transport the Magic Metal and Magic Herbs from the Three-Masted Sailboat to this ship.
Darwin was naturally overjoyed to see that the lifting of the ban on Pattington Island had no effect on Roy...
The crane lifted crates of Magic Metal Magic Metal onto the deck, where crew members inspected the contents of the Wooden Box.
The Imperial Merchant Darwin invited Roy into the captain's cabin.
"Boss Roy, you see, our Imperial Merchant haven't been able to dock. The Castleton Harbour security Guard Squad are demanding that we hand over those assassins, but the captains are unwilling. Now those people have left with the merchant ships, and we can't just stay here like this forever. Could you help us by putting in a good word with the port security Guard Squad ..."
The Imperial Merchant Darwin put it very tactfully, but the main reason he couldn't say these words was that Roy was a victim of this incident...
Roy's smile vanished, and he replied, "I can't help with that."
Darwin's face showed a helpless expression of 'I knew it,' and then he said, "Then could you provide us with some supplies, fruit and Elf Biscuit? These things have become hard to come by since the security Guard Squad drove us away from the port."
"No problem, I have some on my ship. I'll have the crew bring them to you later. But I'm a very vengeful Half-Elf, so don't give these supplies and food to those merchants who caused me trouble before. If I find out about that, our trade will be off the table."
Roy whispered to Darwin.
The Imperial Merchant Darwin forced a smile and replied, "Definitely not, definitely not!"
After completing the transaction, the Three-Masted Sailboat left the area and slowly sailed into Castleton Harbour.
The start of the school year at the Castleton Elf Academy was quite lively.
Roy heard that Klayr, as the main person in charge, was welcoming the new students in the Elf Academy's Teaching Building.
Moira, Sabrina, Woods, and Miss Tiffany all have some courses this semester and need to register at the Elf Academy.
So he followed everyone to the Elf Academy.
Moira dragged Miss Tiffany and Sabrina off to register, and Woods disappeared as soon as he turned around.
There are many new elf students in the academy, and everyone is choosing their favorite courses.
Roy wandered aimlessly among the crowd, unable to help but recall the scene of him choosing courses at the Elf Academy. It felt like such a long time ago...
He spotted Klayr in the distance, but unfortunately Klayr was surrounded by hundreds of elven students, and even if Roy wanted to squeeze through, he couldn't at that moment.
There were too many elf students registering for courses in the hall, and Roy couldn't greet Klayr over there, so he simply walked out of the first-floor hall of the Teaching Building and stood next to a low wall of bushes near the entrance of the Teaching Building to get some fresh air.
"Roy?" A familiar voice rang out from behind.
Roy turned his head and saw Ms. Edith standing gracefully behind him, wearing a set of silver armor and an exquisite Elf Long Sword hanging at her waist, smiling at him.
"It really is you! What brings you to the Elf Academy? Are classes resuming this semester?" Ms. Edith asked curiously.
Ms. Edith is now the head of Princess Ophelia's guard and has long since graduated from the Elf Academy.
"No, I'm here to see Klayr!" Roy said. "Ms. Edith, what brings you to the Elf Academy?"
"Princess Ophelia is determined to teach the Silver Moon Elf Modern History at the Elf Academy, so I've also become the swordsmanship instructor at the Elf Academy. I want to see if any students will choose my class..." Ms. Edith said with a smile.
There was a quiet corner by the low wall and shrubs against the Teaching Building. Ms. Edith pointed to the bench in the corner and said, "It's been a long time. Would you like to sit over there?"
Roy nodded.
Although he didn't have much contact with Ms. Edith, he would visit Ms. Edith grandmother, Amelia Ellington, whenever he had time.
Ms. Edith looked at Roy with great interest and said quite happily:
"Roy, do you know? You are now one of the three most outstanding students at the Castleton Elf Academy in the last decade."
Roy was somewhat surprised that he had become the most outstanding student at the Elf Academy without even realizing it.
"Who else is there besides me?" Roy asked.
"And then there's your good friend Wagner Klayr, the youngest musician in Castleton City, even more famous than you..." Ms. Edith said.
"And one more?" Roy pressed.
"Senior Ursula possesses the purest heart. She gained the recognition of the unicorns while studying at the Elf Academy, and after graduating from the Elf Academy, she joined the Unicorn Legion."
"..."
Ms. Edith stared at Roy with curiosity, as if trying to see right through Roy.
"I'm a little confused about how Princess Ophelia remembered you. She seems to have a special feeling for you. Her Main Hall asked me to tell you to make sure you get along well with Christine. Right now in Castleton City, only Christine can help you!"
When Ms. Edith spoke, her lips were almost touching Roy's ear, and her voice was so soft that Roy could barely hear her...
