Path of light

Chapter 533 534. Quarrel

The three investigators sat in the lounge area of ​​the military hall, their hearts filled with anger, looking at the receptionist sitting opposite.

They kept complaining to the receptionist of the Silver Pegasus Military Department about how bad the security of the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane was.

What a huge price they paid to escape from the headhunters. They traveled thousands of kilometers with a small caravan and went through many places before returning to the city of Padstow.

"We were trying to cross the Caldim Mountains at the time... You don't know... We..."

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist sitting on the sofa opposite didn't even know where the Pagisto Plateau was. She quietly listened to the three investigators chattering about the security issues on the Pagisto Plateau.

She turned her head and looked at the power map of the Partington Plane Elf Occupation Zone in the lobby on the first floor. In fact, apart from the jungle around the city of Padstow, only the Barrier Town in the north of the Griffin Barrier Mountains had a rough border outline on that map.

This is the official territory of the Silver Pegasus Legion...

Although the Pagisto Plateau is now under the control of the Silver Pegasus Legion, no new areas have been added to the territory of the power here.

The receptionist listened quietly to the complaints of the three investigators and said:

"Three investigators, we belong to the Partington plane. Only the jungle between Padstow City and Barrier Town is occupied by elves. The Pagisto Plateau is still in the development stage, so if you are attacked by headhunters there, you are not the only exception."

She found that the three investigators looked a little ugly, and laughed dryly and said:

"If you suffered economic losses at that time, in fact...the best solution is that you can seek help from the local mine guards. I believe they will be willing to help the three investigators..."

The latter sentence was originally intended to make up for the shortcomings of the previous sentence.

But she paused halfway through, which made the sentence sound not so pleasant.

The investigator suppressed his anger and said to the young Silver Moon Elf receptionist: "What do you mean? According to you, is it normal for us to be attacked by the natives on the Pagisto Plateau?"

"Indeed!"

The female receptionist lowered her eyelids and responded in a low voice.

The investigator heard the irresponsible words of the Silver Moon Elf receptionist, and couldn't suppress his anger. He stood up and scolded the female receptionist:

"What are you talking about? As a low-level official of the Silver Pegasus Military Department, how can you say such irresponsible words?"

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist realized at this time that she seemed to have angered the other party. She was so scared that she shrank into the corner of the sofa, blinked her watery eyes and dared not speak.

The investigator raised his voice:

"I will complain to your best superior here! I am a Silver Moon Elf noble who has a precious friendship with Earl Macaulay. You are really disappointing to me."

His voice spread far away, and for a while, the elves in the hall looked towards the rest area.

…

When Roy was filling out the registration form at the front desk, he heard the quarrel in the rest area.

He didn’t care much at first, and even chatted with the smiling Silver Moon Elf receptionist.

In fact, in the Silver Pegasus Military Department, even the front desk receptionists are Silver Moon Elfs with backgrounds.

Many of them are like Christine, who has gained experience in the Silver Pegasus Corps. But Christine is obviously much better than them, at least she has also been to the battlefield of Queen Ewenni Islands.

The name ‘Boss Roy’ is now almost a household name in Padstow City and is very popular among the half-blood elves.

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist smiled and asked Roy how the scenery of Padstow Plateau was.

Roy answered a few questions casually, handed in the registration form, and turned to leave the front desk.

He also wanted to go to the logistics and transportation team to see if he could apply for another batch of military supplies. When he passed by the rest area, he happened to see three investigators arguing with the receptionist here.

Roy felt that the three investigators looked familiar, so he stopped.

In fact, this kind of thing is not very common in the Silver Pegasus military.

Who has the courage to make trouble in the military!

Aren't you afraid that the military will block the logistics supplies?

But he didn't take this quarrel to heart.

But when he heard the words such as Pagisto Plateau in the quarrel, he concentrated on listening...

Then Roy found that this quarrel really had something to do with him. It turned out that the three Silver Moon Elves standing in the rest area were the investigators who went to the Plateau City to investigate the cause of death of the owner of the Abir Mine.

Roy immediately took two steps back and stood behind several Silver Moon Elf officers.

At this time, many officers had gathered around the rest area in the lobby on the first floor of the military.

It was just that everyone loudly rebuked the reception staff for the three angry Silver Moon Elf investigators, and there was no good solution.

The officers didn't even know how to calm the quarrel down. They couldn't arrest the three investigators.

Soon, a Silver Moon Elf official walked over quickly.

Everyone moved to the sides, and Roy also mixed in the crowd.

The Silver Moon Elf official glanced at the scolded Silver Moon Elf receptionist and calmly ordered: "You go to the front desk, I will handle the matters here!"

The female elf receptionist puffed her lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and left without looking back.

Immediately afterwards, another Silver Moon Elf female receptionist came over quickly carrying a tray with three cups of lemon tea.

The officer politely asked the three investigators to sit down again.

Roy knew this officer. He was the person in charge of the hall on the first floor of the military headquarters.

The officer glanced at the surrounding officers, and before he could speak, the onlookers dispersed, each busy with their own affairs.

The three investigators saw the badge on the collar of this elf official, and their fierce aura immediately calmed down.

The Silver Moon Elf official smiled lightly and said:

"I'd better arrange a place for you to rest first. If you have any needs, just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you if I can. If not, I will also report the issues you raised to the superiors. You What do you think?"

One of the red-faced investigators snorted in dissatisfaction and asked, "Who is the top military officer here?"

"Chief Commander Kemp Fred." the Silver Moon Elf officer said very concisely.

The three investigators made eye contact before saying, "We want to see the chief executive."

The Silver Moon Elf officer said without hesitation: "No problem, I will make an appointment for you immediately."

The investigating officer asked very dissatisfiedly: "Do we still need to make an appointment to see Director Kemp Fred?"

The Silver Moon Elf officer smiled slightly and said: "Commander Kemp Fred is currently having a meeting at the headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion in the Queen Egwene Islands. If you want to see him soon, I can send you away from the Partington plane immediately. ”

The investigators looked at each other again and agreed calmly: "Okay, I just want to visit Captain Macaulay."

The Silver Moon Elf officer calmed down the three investigators with a few words.

…

Roy mingled with the crowd and watched the three investigators follow the Silver Moon Elf official out of the lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters.

A group of Silver Moon Elf officers saw the three investigators leaving the military hall and immediately started talking.

They were somewhat dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the three investigators.

"These three investigators...why are they like this?"

The female Silver Moon Elf who had just been chatting with Roy at the front desk laughed and whispered, "Are we working in the Partington plane inferior to other Silver Moon elves?"

The colleague standing nearby glanced at Roy who was walking away and whispered:

"They went to investigate the officers of our army in private, and they needed the cooperation of the military department, which is absolutely fine! But when they went to the Pagisto Plateau to investigate and collect evidence in private, they didn't even need anyone from the military department to accompany them, nor did they need us. If something goes wrong with the arranged guards, why would they come to our military headquarters to condemn us? "

"Speaking of which, they came here just to find fault. What can they do about it?"

"Stop talking, these are too sensitive..."

After Roy was promoted to a first-level great priest, his five senses were much sharper than before, and these whispers did not escape his ears.

He quietly opened the door and left the military hall.

Standing on the street, Roy scratched his head in distress.

Unexpectedly, the fact that he was under investigation by the Buenos Elf Elders Council had already spread in the Padsto Silver Pegasus military headquarters.

It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles!

This time, Roy came to the military headquarters to sign in and submitted an application.

In fact, this application is the last step. He hopes to set up a management department for the magic airship on the Partington plane.

If it weren't for the fact that the airport terminal in Padstow City was no longer under his jurisdiction, he wouldn't even need to submit this application to the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military Department.

Captain Berkeley had helped him complete the procedures related to the construction of the airport terminal some time ago, and built an airport terminal on the outskirts of Padstow City.

Currently, these two magic airships are docked at the airport terminal in Padstow City.

Roy walked to a carriage and asked the carriage driver about the rental fee.

He still had to rush to the warehouse to meet Rambo.

The lifting of the ban on the Partington plane has a great impact on Roy's primary magic herbal trade. Although the merchant Augustus controls the supply of goods in the Blackwater Swamp, Roy still wants the transaction between the two parties to be as close to the market price as possible. .

In fact, he didn't start trading magic herbs to make money. What could be more profitable than opening a mine?

He just wanted to transport a large number of primary magic herbs accumulated in the Partington plane to the Elf Continent, which would also improve the living conditions of the collectors in the Partington plane. Who would have thought that the magic herbal market would suddenly explode, and these magical herbs would suddenly explode. The price has doubled...

Nowadays, the primary magic herbal trade is really more profitable than opening a mine!

In addition to Augustus purchasing magical herbs from the Blackwater Swamp, Lysander also transports a large number of magical herbs from the Pagisto Plateau every month.

So Roy planned to give away the profits to the maximum extent, at least to make the purchase price equal to the market purchase price. Anyway, his junior magic herbal business and the tax subsidy from the Silver Pegasus military could not let those collectors Lose money.
