Return to Padesto

Without starting the Propulsion Device, the half -Three-Masted Sailboat Half-Elf crew raised the sails and let the sea breeze carry the Three-Masted Sailboat toward Sun Island.

On a clear day, the beautiful Sun Island Bay is like a magnificent sapphire. The Coral Reef reefs make the seabed colorful and vibrant. Standing at the bow of the boat, you can see schools of fish everywhere in the sea.

When the Three-Masted Sailboat approached Sun Island, it was discovered that the entire island had become a ruin.

When that Deep Sea Magic Beast awakened from the seabed, the entire island was shaken. The island, which was originally covered with lush tropical Rainforest, is now mostly buried in rubble, with only a few coconut trees on the island's edge surviving.

Moreover, the overall layout of Sun Island has also undergone significant changes.

Originally, Sun Island was a round island, but now it looks like a Sun Island. The middle part of the horseshoe has been submerged by seawater, and you can see piles of rocks emerging from the sea.

Weeds have already grown in the crevices of many of the rocks, and the messy grass leaves are swaying from side to side in the sea breeze...

Roy transferred from the Magic Airship to a Flying Fish Boat and approached the abandoned Sun Island.

The siren Jiezena said there should be another Cold Pond on the island, but now it seems that the Cold Pond has been completely buried by the rocks.

Roy pointed to the surrounding azure sea and said to the village chief of Tiprado, "Sun Island Bay is a natural Fishing Ground. One day, the fishery resources here will be transported to the Plateau City and Padesto City. If we want to export fishery resources, in addition to having Magic Airship, we also need to build an ice-making workshop at the dock."

"Making an ice-making workshop is very simple. All you need is a Magic Rune Plate with the ' Freeze Spell. Just keep adding water to the tank, and you can freeze ice blocks," Chief Tiprado said casually.

When Roy was in Castleton City, he would go to the ice factory to buy ice to cool off during the hottest part of the summer.

But he never knew that these ice blocks were actually made from Ice Magic rune cloth...

"... That's true." Roy gave a somewhat awkward smile.

What I thought would be a troublesome matter turned out to be easily solved with magic...

Roy originally wanted to build the lighthouse at the highest point of Sun Island, but now Sun Island has been leveled.

Only one lighthouse can be built at the southernmost point of the island.

Roy walked around the ruined island, and some of the crevices in the rocks even emitted a foul stench. Every time he passed through an area with a strong stench, he could see some Blue-Shelled Carrion Crab scurrying out of the cracks...

After circling over the island, a Griffon Cavalry landed directly on the beach about fifty meters in front of Roy and Chief Tiprado.

He nimbly leaped off the griffin's back and ran towards Chief Tiprado and Roy.

Roy and Chief Tiprado stopped and turned to look at the Half-Elf cavalryman.

"Commander, Boss Roy, news from Lady Mulin of the Plateau City: the Silver Moon Elf of the Kaltim Mountain Range are hunting down Half-Elf everywhere, and some Half-Elf are fleeing to the Southern Plateau..." The Half-Elf cavalryman ran up to Roy and whispered his report.

Roy frowned and exchanged a glance with Chief Tiprado before asking, "What exactly happened?"

The Half-Elf Griffon Cavalry didn't explain further, but simply pulled a letter from his robes and handed it to Roy: "This is a letter from Lady Mulin to you!"

Roy took Mulin's letter and pulled out the letter inside.

After a moment, Roy's face darkened completely. Those two Silver Moon Elf captains were really stupid. If he had known they would cause such trouble, he should have sent them back to Padesto in the first place.

"I'm going back to the Plateau City right now!" Roy said to the village chief Tiprado. "You can take charge of building the lighthouse on this island."

"Boss Roy, you can rest assured to leave it to me. The port on the North Coast has already been built, so this small lighthouse will be even simpler..." Chief Tiprado readily agreed.

Roy did not stay on the island any longer. He returned directly to the Magic Airship, and then all twelve Floating Device on the Magic Airship were activated. The Magic Airship quickly ascended into the Wind Stream Layer and flew towards the Kaltim Mountain Range of the Pagisto Plateau.

In fact, there is currently no Silver Moon Elf army in the entire Pattington Plane.

On the Pattington Plane, the largest force is the Mine Guard Regiment commanded by Roy, followed by the Padesto Security Guard Regiment commanded by Commander Berkeley.

The combined number of Silver Moon Elf Officer under Commander Brad and Commander Te Leiwen was only one hundred and fifty.

At the Silver Mine in the Kaltim Mountain Range, Half-Elf Warrior deserted the army without permission, and the army was powerless to stop him.

The two Silver Moon Elf captains realized that there was no point in leaving the Silver Mine in the southern part of the Kaltim Mountain Range, so they followed the same route they had come from, and after much hardship, crossed the Kaltim Mountain Range and the wilderness back to the Plateau City.

As for the two thousand Half-Elf Warrior they commanded, some ran back to the Plateau City, some slipped away to the Spinel Mine in the Southern Plateau, and some simply fled to the Northern Plateau to find Commander Helik's Half-Elf Rebel Army.

When Roy arrived at the silver mine in the southern Kaltim Mountain Range aboard his Magic Airship, the two captains had already led their teams back to the Plateau City.

The two Silver Moon Elf captains planned to immediately return to Padesto City aboard the Magic Airship of the Plateau City.

As the governor of the Plateau City, Mulin naturally did not allow the Magic Airship at the Air Port Dock to set sail immediately. She was unsure what the two Silver Moon Elf captains would do after returning to Padesto City, so she secretly suspended the normal operation of the Magic Airship until Roy returned.

Roy arrived at the City Hall of the Plateau City and immediately met with Mulin to understand the current situation.

Upon hearing that the two Silver Moon Elf captains were still stranded in the Plateau City, and after hearing Mulin mention some Half-Elf who had escaped from the Kaltim Mountain Range and come to the Plateau City seeking Mulin's protection, he said to Mulin, "I want to see those Half-Elf and find out what happened!"

"I'll go and have someone call them over!" Mulin said.

An adjutant immediately walked out of the hall behind her, and soon brought more than fifty Half-Elf into the hall of the City Hall.

Mulin gave a brief account of what happened, which was not much different from what Mulin had written in her letter.

In short, these two Silver Moon Elf captains treated these Half-Elf Warrior as free mine laborers. When facing the Highland Slavers, they were a group of Elf Warrior; when living in the abandoned Silver Mine, they were a group of free laborers. Ironically, even the lowest-ranking Silver Moon Elf squad leaders did not need to work in the Silver Mine.

This differential treatment completely ignited the pent-up anger within the Half-Elf Warrior.

Although there was no mutiny in the army, there was a large-scale defection of Half-Elf Warrior.

Roy sighed and said to the group of Half-Elf:

"No matter what, you've all deserted. If you want to get some answers from everyone, I suggest you come with me to the Padesto Silver Pegasus Military Department. We can sit down and talk things out face to face. Or you can just not go back to Padesto City. You can live just as well on the Pagisto Plateau."

One of the middle-aged Half-Elf stepped out from the crowd and said to Roy, "Boss Roy, I want to go with you to get an explanation for everyone."

Roy hesitated for a moment, then said, "Doing this might be dangerous."

"Alonso, let's stay in the Plateau City. Don't go to Padesto City. Those Silver Moon Elf have no credibility with us. They can decide what to do with us with a single word..." one of the Half-Elf in the group behind them advised.

The middle-aged Half-Elf named Alonso said calmly:

"I'm not afraid. The Silver Moon Elf Kingdom doesn't have the death penalty. This wasn't our fault. No matter where I go, I'll get an explanation. If all the Silver Moon Elf think they did nothing wrong, then we'd better not work for Silver Moon Elf anymore. Anyway, in the Pattington Plane, we can live well no matter what we do."

"Then I'll go too! I'm willing to stand up and prove that Commander Ke Leiwen and Commander Brad have enslaved us!"

One of the Half-Elf immediately spoke up.

Roy could tell that these Half-Elf were also full of grievances...

Moreover, if this matter escalates, it will inevitably cast a new shadow over the relationship between the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf.

Originally, with the lifting of the ban on the Pattington Plane, the relationship between the Silver Moon Elf and the Half-Elf had eased somewhat.

"Alright. This afternoon, a Magic Airship will be heading to Padesto City. Come with me."

Roy hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

He hoped that the Elven Council of Elders in Padesto City would be fair in handling the case.

After a quick lunch, Roy arrived at the Air Port Dock near the City Wall and saw a large group of Half-Elf Warrior waiting outside the Air Port Dock.

More than a hundred Silver Moon Elf Warrior surrounded Commander Ke Leiwen and Commander Braid, forming a defensive formation inside the Air Port Dock, confronting these Half-Elf Warrior.

What are you all doing blocking this place?

Roy stood at the entrance of the Air Port Dock, Half-Elf Warrior immediately made way for him.

When the Silver Moon Elf Warrior saw Roy, they did not retract their longswords; instead, they tightened their defensive formation even more.

"You either board the Magic Airship or get out of the way!"

Roy walked step by step from the gate into the interior, and seeing that the Silver Moon Elf Warrior were completely unmoved, he coldly shouted at them.

Roy walked up to a Silver Moon Elf Warrior, the blade of the Silver Moon Elf Warrior's longsword almost touching Roy's Magic Inscription Construct breastplate...

Suddenly, hundreds of Half-Elf Warrior appeared on the surrounding City Wall. These Half-Elf Warrior stood on almost all the high points of the Air Port Dock. In their hands, they held elven magic longbows of excellent quality. The sound of the bowstrings being drawn mingled together and entered everyone's ears.

The Silver Moon Elf Warrior at the Air Port Dock entrance retreated one after another, and all the Silver Moon Elf, including Commander Brad and Captain Ke Leiwen, had a drastic change in expression.

Roy continued walking forward.

With each step he took, two Fletched Arrow would fall from either side of his body.

The Fletched Arrow were arranged in two straight lines, as if opening a path for him.

The Silver Moon Elf Warrior blocking his way could only retreat in a sorry state...

"Commander Brad, Commander Ke Leiwen, weren't you supposed to be taking this Magic Airship back to Padesto City? Why aren't you getting ready to board?" Roy walked directly up to the two Silver Moon Elf commanders and asked.

"Commander Roy, what's wrong with you...?" Commander Brad asked Roy, his face flushed and pale, his expression unpredictable.

"I'm going to Padesto City too!" Roy said, then ignored the two of them and walked up the stairs to the terminal platform.

The Half-Elf Warrior followed behind him and boarded the Magic Airship.

At this moment, Commander Brad and Captain Ke Leiwen exchanged a glance, then, with the Silver Moon Elf Warrior following behind, prepared to board the Magic Airship...

As they reached the platform, a Half-Elf from the Air Port Dock stopped Ke Leiwen and Bu Lade, the two captains, and said with a smile:

"Two captains, you haven't purchased airship tickets yet. Each ticket costs one Magic Crystal Stone. There are exactly 157 people here. Please pay 157 Magic Crystal Stone!"

"They..." Commander Brad was about to say about the Half-Elf Warrior in front, but Captain Ke Leiwen grabbed him.

The two Silver Moon Elf captains stood somewhat exasperated on the airport platform, taking out money pouches from their Magic Pouch and pooling together 157 Magic Crystal Stone before being allowed to pass by the Half-Elf employees.

Roy stood on the Ship Building, not even glancing at the two Silver Moon Elf captains. He asked the captain of the Magic Airship, "Is the Magic Airship ready?"

The captain immediately stood up straight and said to Roy, "Boss Roy, we're ready!"

"Set off immediately!"

Roy gave the order to the Half-Elf captain.

The Magic Airship, carrying no cargo, arrived safely in Padesto City in the evening of the following day.

The Magic Airship docked at the Padesto Air Port Dock, and the two Silver Moon Elf captains hurriedly led more than 150 Silver Moon Elf Warrior off the Magic Airship and quickly walked out of the Air Port Dock.

Roy and the Half-Elf Warrior who had arrived by boat discussed the matter and decided that a group of elves would accompany Roy to the Silver Pegasus Military Department the next morning to mediate. If the military's ruling was unfair, they would file a complaint against the two Silver Moon Elf captains at the Elven Council of Elders.

Roy then went to the Material Warehouse in Padesto City, met with Langbo, and talked about the current situation in Padesto City.

Although the Commander Berkeley knew some things, given his position, it wasn't appropriate for him to tell Roy.

So Roy had Langbo keep an eye on the situation in Padesto City.

Sure enough, upon meeting Langbo, I learned from him that an Independent Organizations of Half-Elf was causing trouble in the Padesto City, and had been making quite a fuss lately. The Security Guard Regiment under Commander Berkeley was in a state of constant chaos...
