Ms. Edith has become an instructor at the Elf Academy, and it seems the Elf Academy has also extended an invitation to Sabrina, hoping she can stay at the Elf Academy after graduation and serve as an assistant instructor for martial arts training.

After saying that, Ms. Edith said goodbye to Roy and turned to walk into the Teaching Building.

Roy was surprised that Princess Ophelia actually remembered him.

Roy sat on a bench, surrounded by the balsam scent of Tea Tree Oil. Ancient reliefs were engraved on the walls of the Teaching Building, and in the shaded areas, the walls were even covered with green moss.

He tilted his head back, squinted at the sky, and let his mind wander...

Roy could sense some changes in the Silver Pegasus Legion. He had initially thought it was just that the newly appointed Chief of Staff Kampferfred, was deliberately targeting him.

It now seems that a high-ranking member of the Silver Pegasus Legion may have some ideas about him.

Inside the Teaching Building, Klayr finally managed to escape from a group of freshmen.

The hall was packed with freshmen choosing courses. He wanted to go outside for some fresh air. The hall was crowded with people, and the air was filled with the smells of sweat and perfume.

As Klayr passed by on the left side of the hall, she saw Sabrina standing in front of a notice board, about to write her name on a registration list.

Klayr stopped and squeezed next to Sabrina.

Standing next to Sabrina, who was a full half-head taller Klayr Sabrina, Klayr felt quite pressured.

"Sabrina, when did you get back?" Klayr greeted Sabrina.

Sabrina glanced at Klayr with some surprise.

No matter when or where, Klayr always wore an elegant aristocratic suit, maintaining the demeanor expected of a musician...

"Yesterday!" Sabrina glanced at Klayr's side and answered.

She noticed that Roy wasn't with Klayr, and couldn't help but ask:

"Klayr, haven't you seen Roy?"

Klayr looked around, somewhat speechlessly, and said, "No! He came back with you too?"

Sabrina nodded and replied, "Yes, he just said he was going to come find you!"

Klayr looked around again, but still couldn't see Roy in the crowded lobby.

Klayr thought for a moment, then walked out of the main Teaching Building.

In a small garden enclosed by a low wall of shrubs to the left of the Teaching Building, Roy was sitting on a bench, lost in thought...

Klayr walked straight over.

Although Roy didn't turn his head, he knew that the elf who walked over was Klayr.

He lay there motionless, and casually asked, "Finished with work?"

Klayr sat down next to Roy and replied, "We've finished today's work ahead of schedule. Want to grab a drink later?"

Roy turned to Klayr with some surprise and asked, "Isn't there a dance tonight?"

Klayr smiled smugly and said very casually, "It's not a very important ball, it doesn't matter whether I go or not."

"Alright then! You choose the location..."

The two left the Elf Academy side by side, and almost every elven student they encountered along the way would greet Klayr.

Klayr would politely nod in response whenever someone greeted her.

The two left the Elf Academy, Klayr led Roy into a carriage. After the carriage traveled along the long street for a while, it stopped in front of a giant tree. According to Klayr, this was a Tea Restaurant.

Klayr seemed to be a regular here. When the Silver Moon Elf servant at the door saw the carriage stop at the entrance, he quickly ran over to open the door for Klayr.

Klayr casually tossed a stack of Kole to the Silver Moon Elf servant before leading Roy into the treehouse.

Entering the treehouse, Klayr climbed a staircase to the second floor and found a room to sit down.

A Silver Moon Elf servant entered carrying a tray, and Klayr only spoke to Roy after the Silver Moon Elf left and closed the door behind him, "What you did in Pattington Plane is now the talk of the Castleton City..."

Roy asked curiously, "I'm really curious to know, what's the truth about me according to the rumors?"

Klayr poured Roy a cup of fruit tea and then muttered, "The first Half-Elf captain of the Silver Pegasus Legion performed outstandingly in the naval battle of Empress Ivini Islands."

Roy nodded, a smug smile on his face.

He wasn't surprised at all! Klayr gave a knowing smile and said:

"Boss Roy from the Pattington Plane led a group of Elf Warrior to rescue the Half-Elf on the Pattington Plane."

Roy largely agreed with this, and the rumors seemed to be true.

Klayr's smile widened, even becoming somewhat sarcastic. "The executioner who slaughtered the Silver Moon Elf, publicly executed several Silver Moon Elf Mine Owners on the Pattington Plane..."

Roy stood there, holding his teacup, stunned. The third rumor left him speechless.

He complained, somewhat speechlessly, "My reputation isn't bad here in Castleton City either!"

Klayr nodded and said:

"In the eyes of many Silver Moon Elf, you are indeed a Half-Elf, but in the eyes of most Half-Elf, you are their hero."

"Here... the Silver Moon Elf are in charge after all."

"Right now, you have Earl Swynborne standing behind you, so those Silver Moon Elf who hate you don't dare to do anything to you yet. But what about later? What if Earl Swynborne breaks ties with you over something? What will your situation be then?"

Klayr stared at Roy and continued:

"If you hadn't come to Castleton City this time, I would have written to you, Roy. You need to keep a low profile lately, at least don't let those old guys keep an eye on you all the time."

After hearing Klayr's words, Roy realized that he was in a difficult situation.

The Commander Berkeley's words have clearly come true.

Princess Ophelia's message to Ms. Edith was actually about this very matter.

Roy scratched his head in a somewhat troubled manner and said:

"I understand, I'll be careful."

Klayr leaned close to Roy's ear and whispered, "Oh, by the way, didn't you say you wanted to purchase a batch of military equipment for the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Regiment? I've already contacted a seller for you."

Roy asked hesitantly, "Then... do they know anything about me?"

Klayr immediately patted her chest and replied, "Of course, the Armaments Bureau is actually quite strict in this regard. Your Mine Guard Regiment happens to be a regular army, so replacing equipment shouldn't be a problem. If you can get Military Procurement Permit, then this matter will be even easier."

Roy paused for a moment, then pulled out a roll of parchment from his pocket, which was clearly stamped with the seal of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

"I just happened to bring a Military Procurement Permit with me," Roy said with a hint of pride.

Klayr held the Military Procurement Permit in her hand, and said with the same delight:

"Oh, it really is!"

The two chatted for almost the entire afternoon in the Tea Restaurant, and Roy didn't Tea Restaurant until it got dark.

Roy recounted to Klayr the battle at Sun Island Bay, where they joined forces to defeat a Sea Beast Priest. The Half-Elf Warrior built ports three times along the coast of Sun Island Bay, but each time the ports were destroyed by the Sun Island fishmen.

Standing at the entrance of the Tea Restaurant, Klayr boarded the carriage.

He turned and shouted through the car window to Roy, who was standing on the street, "I'll pick you up on Brown Street tomorrow morning, get up early!"

When Roy returned home that evening, Ms. Jillian was just coming back from the Fish Market.

Roy carried a tray of clean clothes to the terrace to hang them out to dry, when he heard Ms. Jillian nagging Moira and Sabrina in the neighboring yard. The gist of her complaint was that neither of the two sisters had stayed home during their long holiday.

Roy tiptoed back to his room, lay down on the bed, but Ms. Belinda hadn't returned yet...

Ms. Belinda's trip to Darnassus took quite a long time.

The next morning, Klayr's carriage stopped in front of Roy's house.

Roy saw Klayr standing in the doorway through the window, beckoning him gently. He quickly put on a linen robe and came out of the yard.

Seeing that Roy was dressed rather casually, Klayr said to him, "We're going to visit the quartermaster who manages military supplies, so you'd better dress more formally."

Roy had no choice but to take out the set of Magic Inscription Construct from his Magic Pouch and put it on.

Klayr noticed that the Magic Inscription Construct was covered in scratches and severely worn in many places, and said to Roy:

"How long have you been wearing this Magic Inscription Construct... Haven't you ever thought about changing it?"

After Roy was promoted to High Priest, the Holy Power within him increased significantly. He did consider replacing his basic Magic Inscription Construct, but he was always busy with other things and didn't have time to purchase Magic Inscription Construct.

"We can talk about that later. I'd like to get a better set," Roy said casually.

He and Klayr were close friends, and there was nothing they couldn't talk about when they were together.

"If we have time later, let's go to the shopping street near Heroes Square. There are quite a few Magic Shop there..."

After Klayr finished speaking, she greeted the coachman and told him that he could leave.

The carriage left Brown Street, passed through the Lower District, and stopped in front of a building in the Upper District, near the headquarters of the Sheriff's Guard Squad.

Apart from large buildings like the Elf Academy, Library, Arena, and Opera House, almost all the buildings in the Upper District are related to the giant tree, and this building is also on a giant tree.

Roy had passed by this street more than once, but he never knew that it was actually the largest Armaments Depot in Castleton City.

Klayr was stopped by two Silvermoon Elven Guard as she approached the door. Klayr immediately took out a letter from her pocket, handed it to one of the Elven Guard, and then said to him, "I have an appointment with Quartermaster Leo."

The silver moon Elven Guard asked Klayr and Roy to wait at the door while he took the letter inside.

Before long, an officer wearing silver armor was the first to come out of the treehouse.

He was also dressed in the attire of a Silver Moon Elven Nobles, with magnificent silver armor, an exquisite sword hanging at his waist, and his hair neatly combed, exuding an air of nobility.

"Klayr, it really is you! I've invited you several times already," Quartermaster Leo said to Klayr with a smile.

"Quartermaster Leo, this is a key military location in Castleton City. If I didn't have official business, why would I come here so casually?" Klayr then said in a friendly manner.

He pointed to Roy and said, "This is my dear friend, Roy, the commander of the Silver Pegasus Legion's Mine Guard Regiment."

"Roy ...this name sounds familiar. Are you... Half-Elf?" Quartermaster Leo turned to Roy and asked.

"Yes, Quartermaster Leo," Roy replied quickly.

"Oh, oh! I remember now, you are Roy ... Boss, yes! The youngest commander of the Silver Pegasus Legion's Guard Regiment! I've been hearing your name a lot lately, I never imagined you were Klayr's close friend! Please come in."

Quartermaster Leo warmly invited the two into the treehouse.

When they first entered the treehouse, the front desk area wasn't very large. After going around the front desk, there were three doors behind it, and a staircase had been carved out on the side. Quartermaster Leo led the two of them up the staircase to the second floor.

He pushed open a door and invited Klayr and Roy inside.

Inside the door was a large living room, much larger than the trunk of the giant tree. Roy guessed that this was also a Dimensional Space created by magic, seamlessly connected to the treehouse.

Stepping into the living room, there are three gray walls separated from the tree trunk, each with a magnificent floor-to-ceiling window that offers a view of a vast and boundless starry sky...

The visual effect of opening the window as if one could enter Outer Domain left Roy stunned for a moment.

Klayr, on the other hand, was quite used to this style of room, and sat on the sofa in the lounge area with her arm around Roy's shoulder.

"Quartermaster Leo, as I told you last time, we're here to purchase a batch of Standard Armaments," Klayr said first.

An assistant brought over some tea and snacks.

"So what kind of military equipment do you need?" Quartermaster Leo asked with a smile.

Klayr looked at Roy, Roy immediately said, "Ideally, it should be a Light Armor set that has some magic resistance, is easy to carry, and is made of high-quality materials."

Quartermaster Leo asked, "How about the superior quality Magic Armor? The Silver Moon Elf Elite Infantry Regiment is currently equipped with this kind of Light Armor."

"Of course... you can," Roy said.

He certainly recognized this type of standard armor; the Silver Pegasus Guard Regiment on the Pagisto Plateau was equipped with this kind of Light Armor.

"How many do you want?" Quartermaster Leo asked.

"Five thousand sets," Roy said after a moment's hesitation.

Quartermaster Leo took a deep breath and asked Roy, "Do you know how much it costs to buy a set of standard-issue, high-quality Standard Armaments?"

Roy shook his head, somewhat bewildered.

"Forty-five Magic Crystal Stone. If you also want the Storm Sword and the Elf Longbow, you'll need sixty Magic Crystal Stone. Five thousand sets of Standard Armaments will require three hundred thousand Magic Crystal Stone..."

"That's what Quartermaster Leo said."

"I'll be ready!"
