Path of light

Chapter 325 326.Businessman Santos

A group of Silver Moon Elf students surrounded the businessman Santos at the gate of the college. As the elf students continued to walk out of the college, more and more students were watching. The businessman Santos could only protect his hands on his chest and push them. Continuously retreating.

The strong coachman stood in front of the businessman Santos, and even the sleeves of his clothes were torn by the angry elf students.

The coachman clenched his fists and wanted to fight back, but there were too many elf students around him. Countless hands were grabbing at him, giving him no chance to take action...

He didn't know who was secretly kicking him, leaving footprints all over his leather pants.

The coachman let out a groan of pain, and an elf student punched him in the ribs. This made him feel that his stomach and intestines were twisting together, and the pain made him take two breaths of air.

Even the businessman Santos, who was hiding behind him, was black-footed.

The carriage driver could only protect the businessman Santos and retreated continuously, and finally fled back to the carriage in embarrassment. The businessman Santos had been beaten by the elf students until his nose was bleeding, and the noble clothes on his body were covered with footprints. He was sitting on the sofa in the carriage, still looking... It hurt so much that he grimaced.

The coachman blocked the carriage door...

The elf students continued to smash the car with their hands, but they did not smash the windows, they just vented their anger.

The coachman almost climbed onto the charioteer's seat, then raised his whip and made the carriage move slowly, and then slowly shook off these elf students...

The coachman also saw several instructors from the college calming down the chaos, but the students did not chase them all the way, which made him feel slightly relieved.

He turned his head and glanced at the students behind him from the corner of his eye. He really couldn't understand why the boss was messing with them...

In fact, the Silver Moon Elf businessman Santos, who was sitting in the carriage, was also extremely confused. He suddenly felt that he was getting old and could no longer understand the elves in this city.

He originally thought that the half-elves living in the lower city were just some poor and down-and-out families, so he hired an elf assassin to get rid of this young man. Unexpectedly, the elf assassin not only failed to complete the task, but also got involved himself.

Businessman Santos thought of this and couldn't help but look back. Many elf students were still standing at the entrance of the college...

The young Silver Moon Elf who didn't look like much was actually the youngest musician in Castletown. His coachman just pushed him and was beaten by a group of elf students.

Fortunately, he escaped from the dangerous area.

Businessman Santos picked up the water glass and took a swig of water.

At this time, he remembered that the purpose of his coming here was to persuade the half-elf, hoping that the young half-elf could withdraw the accusation against him, and at the worst, write a letter of understanding, but not only did these things not work Well, I almost got beaten...

Businessman Santos's attempt to persuade Roy was a complete failure.

…

After failing to persuade Roy to drop the charges, businessman Santos will attend a court hearing next week. Once the charges are confirmed, this will have a considerable impact on his goodwill.

Who wants to work with a businessman with a criminal record?

Businessman Santos felt that he must not be shy at this time. He sat in the carriage and thought about the friends he usually made. After thinking about it, there was no one he could trust.

He opened a drawer in the carriage, and there was a letter of visit inside. He had never thought about using this relationship before, but he felt that the price was a bit high and he was reluctant to part with it. Once some favors are used once, they cannot be used again next time. used.

But now there are really no elves who can help him. Businessman Santos can only ask this big man for help.

Ask him to put pressure on the trial court from above, and maybe he can get the trial court to drop the charges against him.

Thinking of this, the businessman Santos immediately moved a mirror in front of him. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, he was probably not suitable to visit this big man. He could only go home and change his clothes before visiting.

…

As soon as Miss Edith walked to the entrance of the college, she saw an elf businessman with silver curly hair getting into the carriage in a panic. His hurried appearance looked like a street rat.

The angry elf students around him were still banging on the car windows, demanding that the elf businessman get out of the car and apologize.

Unfortunately, the elf businessman had no such intention, and the carriage could only move forward slowly surrounded by elf students.

Several instructors at the college discovered the chaotic scene at the door and immediately ran out to maintain order at the door. They confirmed that no students were injured here, but that one student was pushed. Then they stopped the angry elf students and asked them to The carriage merged into the traffic on the street.

Miss Edith was not in the mood to watch, but her best friend Miss Phyllis standing next to her was very curious. She reached out to call over three Silver Moon Elf girls and curiously asked about the reason for this matter.

After some answers from the three elf girls, Miss Edith figured out that it was an elf businessman who came to make trouble at the entrance of the college and pushed Wagner Claire, angering his supporters.

"It turns out to be that Wagner guy!" Phyllis said softly, covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

Claire's reputation in the academy has surpassed Miss Edith's. Her outstanding musical talent has made Claire a brand-new flag in the elf academy. At this time, there are actually elf businessmen coming to mess with him. It's really short-sighted.

Speaking of which, Miss Edith and Miss Phyllis have always seen Claire in the recent dances, but Roy has rarely attended dances recently.

"Didn't the elf merchant say anything about the reason?" Miss Phyllis then asked.

"It's a bit funny..." One of the three Silver Moon Elf girls replied with a smile: "I heard that the Elf businessman hired someone to kill someone, but the other party not only caught the assassin, but also brought the assassin and the Elf businessman together. Sent to the trial court, this businessman came to the gate of the college this time, it seems to be for this matter!"

"Why is there such a thing in Castletown?" Miss Phyllis was startled and said, patting her chest.

"Not only that, the person the elf merchant wanted to kill happened to be a friend of Wagner Claire. Wagner Claire stood up and wanted to complain for his friend, so he was pushed down by the merchant's entourage." The Silver Moon Elf girl said vividly.

"Claire's friend? Could it be Roy?" Miss Phyllis said to Miss Edith with a smile.

"That guy named Roy always pulls Claire away and does some inexplicable things that make people confused!" complained the Silver Moon elf girl, who seemed to be an elf who likes music.

Miss Edith was a little surprised. She wanted to know how Roy got into enmity with the elf merchant.

But it seemed that the Silver Moon Elf girls didn't know very well, so she didn't bother to ask. She just looked at the departing carriage silently.

Just as Miss Edith boarded the carriage, she happened to see Roy and Claire walking across the long street talking and laughing, apparently going to the library opposite.

"I heard that Roy recently formed an adventure group and has completed a very good adventure trip."

Miss Phyllis followed and added.

"Did Princess Ophelia never find him again?" Miss Edith asked casually.

"No, but I always feel that Princess Ophelia is a little special to him. Every time she meets Roy, she will stop and chat." Miss Phyllis said.

Miss Edith turned her head towards the window, her eyes passing over the red hibiscus trees on the street...

The two said nothing more.

…

The carriage stopped in front of the Duke of Wellington's huge tree house. Businessman Santos stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the towering ancient tree in front of him. This umbrella-shaped ancient tree occupied almost an acre of the surrounding area.

There are almost no other elven nobles in the nearby woodland. This big tree occupies the highest position on the south slope. It is said that the tree house inside this big tree is as luxurious as a palace.

This place is called Wellington Mansion. There is a clean wooden step at the door, and there are some pools and flower beds on both sides.

Several Silver Moon Elf maids were pruning the flowers and plants in the flower bed.

Businessman Santos straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and walked towards the chattering elf maids.

"Is Butler Norton Boris here?" Businessman Santos said elegantly with a smile on his face.

"Are you looking for Butler Boris?" The elf maid stopped what she was doing and turned to ask the businessman Santos.

Businessman Santos quickly handed over the letter of visit and said to the elf maid: "Please help me pass this to Butler Boris!"

The elf maid reached out to take the letter of visit, looked at the businessman Santos again, and then turned and walked into the tree house.

The businessman Santos was waiting patiently outside. Not long after, the elf maid came out of the tree house, waved to the businessman Santos, and took him to a flower bed, which happened to be next to a pool, which kept pouring spring water from above. Flow down, these pools are like stairs, with clear spring water meandering from above...

"Sit here for a while. Butler Boris is a little bit unable to leave right now. He may have to wait for a while."

After the elf maid finished speaking, she left.

Businessman Santos could only sit on the bench by the pool and look at the exquisite flowers around him. From here, through the gaps in the woods, he could see the Castletown Harbor in the distance, with the blue sea and blue sky, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

After waiting for two hours, the businessman Santos leaned on a bench and fell asleep. He was awakened by a series of footsteps.

When he opened his eyes, he just saw two brisk figures walking into Wellington Mansion.

…

Miss Edith and Miss Phyllis walked into Wellington Mansion together. After the door closed, Miss Edith walked to a winding staircase and looked at the elf in the flower bed through a glass window. merchant.

Miss Phyllis leaned over, took a look at the elf businessman, and immediately recognized the elf businessman as the one she had seen at the entrance of the college at noon.

"Why is he here?" Miss Phyllis asked in surprise.

"How do I know? I don't know him," Miss Edith complained, and then she asked an elf maid at the door: "Who is the elf merchant outside looking for?"

"I'm here to visit Butler Boris," the elf maid said.

Miss Edith took her best friend along the winding staircase and walked into the castle-like tree house.

…

Roy sat in the library for another whole afternoon. He was going to a dance with Claire in the evening, so he was in no hurry to go home.

For a young elf like him, it is not rude to wear a magic pattern structure when attending a dance. However, Roy's thick basilisk leather armor is obviously a little worn. Although it has been maintained once, the leather is different in many places. degree of wear and tear.

And it's hot summer now, so wearing thick leather armor will definitely not be too comfortable.

"Roy, I have prepared a dress for you. It is more comfortable than wearing a magic pattern suit with thick leather armor." Claire sat opposite Roy and whispered.

"I think it's good to wear the magic pattern structure. At least you can skip two dances." Roy responded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I've told Beryl, she won't push her best friend to our side anymore!" Claire said, still taking out a pile of neatly folded dresses from the magic waist bag, Pushed in front of Roy.

Roy didn't refuse.

He and Claire were about the same size, Claire's waist was a little smaller than Roy's, but that's about it.

Roy picked up the dress, walked into a secluded corner of the library's rest area, and quickly changed into a silver dress. He immediately looked very elegant.

Walking back to the library's preview room, Claire nodded repeatedly and said to Roy, "This dress has no decorations. I didn't expect it to suit you quite well."

"We will go to the dance later. You have to follow me and I will find a chance to introduce you." Claire closed the book and told Roy.

"Okay, I'll just keep watching your arrangements." Roy agreed.

He followed Claire to the ball this time, actually because he wanted to find a recommender so that he could join the Magic Herbal Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Claire and Roy returned the books and walked out of the library.

The two of them boarded a carriage and drove towards a manor outside the city.

…

Businessman Santos has been sitting on the bench by the pool for a whole afternoon, but Butler Boris hasn't come out yet.

He placed the empty cup in his hand on the bench, stood up and moved around the bench until his legs were no longer numb, and then sat down again.

"Santos, it's really you, why are you here looking for me?"

There was a voice by the pool, and Butler Boris hurried out of the mansion and complained softly to the businessman Santos.

"Boris, I'm in trouble. I'm going to go to court next weekend. I'm here just hoping you can help me. You also know that I'm a businessman. Once I go to court, it will have a great impact on my goodwill." Businessman Santos walked over and said.

"Court trial? Why did you get noticed by the elf guards?"

Butler Boris asked softly.
