When Link had returned to Ferde, he immediately went to the harbor and found the commander of the navy Grayson there.
"There will be a couple of High Elves coming in later. I want you all to prepare a three-masted merchant vessel for departure and stock it up with enough water, food, and medicine. Give the ship to them when they arrive, and just accept whatever they have to offer for it," said Link.
"Yes, my lord." Grayson found his order to be a bit odd, but as it had come from the lord of Ferde personally, he did not think too much about it and did as he was told.
Link then left the harbor. Half an hour later, a soldier reported to him that a group of High Elves had arrived at the harbor.
