Path of light

Chapter 440 441. Mr. President’s appointment

Thinking that Lysander's pack team should keep a low profile as much as possible, Roy said to the elf waitress:

"The location of the warehouse does not need to be in the city. It is best to be close to the edge of the city and be as large as possible."

The elf waitress quickly searched the information booklet and quickly found several properties and showed the information to Roy.

Roy chose a warehouse with five buildings built together and said to the elf waitress:

"How many warehouses here are built in a row? You can take a look here first. If the price is right, I want to rent them all."

"Okay, the monthly rent for this kind of warehouse is three hundred kolers, settled annually." The elf waitress said.

After discussing these, the house rental company sent a carriage to carry the elf waitress and Roy to the warehouse.

The elf waitress sat on the carriage, her thin lips raised slightly, looking out the window at the clearing after the rain, the sunlight filtering through the gaps between the trees, forming beams of light in the forest glade, she was in a good mood.

After this order, she should get a bonus this month.

All businesses in Padstow are not doing well, and the house rental business where she works is not doing well either.

Who would have thought that this young man who looked like a human being was actually planning to rent five warehouses at once.

When the elf waitress saw that the cup in front of Roy was empty, she quickly poured him a cup of fruit tea. Seeing Roy staring at her in surprise, the elf waitress quickly covered her lips with her hands and wiped her face. The pride is hidden.

Padstow is not a big city, and these warehouses are located in the southwest corner of the city.

Sure enough, as the elf waitress introduced, the five warehouses are connected side by side, all made of thick wooden boards, with some light green paint painted on the outside.

The elf waitress took out a bunch of keys and tried to open the warehouse door. There was a faint musty smell inside the warehouse.

The warehouse was very clean, and there was even a layer of flooring on the ground. It looked dry and covered with dust.

Roy mainly checked the beams and columns in the warehouse. There were no signs of rot or insect infestation. The surrounding walls were also intact, and there were no signs of rain leakage on the ceiling.

Roy nodded and backed out of the warehouse...

Roy then rented these five row warehouses together. Four of the warehouses were okay, but the fifth warehouse was filled with half of the warehouse's debris and needed someone from the housing rental trading company to clean it out.

Roy paid a whole year's rent and thirty-six magic crystals.

With joy on her face, the elf waitress handed a piece of contract to Roy.

After walking out of the house rental trading firm, it was already afternoon. Then Roy took a carriage to the union in Padstow City.

The treehouse where the union is located looks a bit old. Walk up the steps to the lobby on the first floor. In front of the lobby is a long row of counters. A group of young mixed-blood elf waitresses stand in front of the counter. There are many mixed-blood elves here. , everyone is queuing up to handle business.

Roy appeared in the hall and immediately attracted countless attention.

This is the union of mixed-blood elves, but Roy is obviously not a mixed-blood elf, so many mixed-blood elves stared at him in surprise when they saw him walking in.

Roy walked straight to the front desk and lined up behind a mixed elf.

When it was his turn, even the half-blood elf waitress at the front desk reminded her in a low voice: "This is the Padstow City Half-blood Elf Guild. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I want to hire a few mixed-blood elf employees. Can I recruit them here?" Roy said.

"...Yes, what occupation do you need to recruit?" the waitress asked stutteringly, then took out a piece of seaweed paper from under the counter and asked Roy to fill out a form.

Roy came here to recruit several warehouse managers. He filled out the required occupations according to the form. The appointment was to be negotiated with the union the day after tomorrow. He paid a commission to the union and left the union in a hurry.

This time he brought a batch of spinels and mithril ingots from the plateau. These high value-added magic materials are basically placed in magic pockets, and Roy's rented warehouse will not store these materials.

The five row warehouses are mainly used to store ordinary metal ingots. Among the mines on the Pagisto Plateau, the largest output is ordinary iron ingots, tin ingots, silver ingots, etc. These metal ingots are cheap and only It can be transported bit by bit from the plateau using Lysander's pack team.

After arriving at Padstow City, it will be stored in the warehouse here.

So after Roy arrived in Padstow City, the first thing he did was to inquire about the absconding mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains in the tavern. The second thing he did was to rent a warehouse and recruit warehouse managers.

…

In the tavern, Dennis walked in from the outside wearing a dark green cloak, walked straight to the bar, took off his cloak and hung it on a hanger, revealing his sexy tight leather armor, and sat down opposite the bartender very casually.

The bartender poured her half a glass of orange wine and added half a glass of diluted tree sap of life that had lost its color.

Dennis drank the glass of alcoholic tree sap in one gulp, and some color quickly returned to his pale face.

"Did you find out clearly?"

Dennis nodded, his straight nose wrinkled, and it looked like the process was not going well.

"What's going on?" The bartender came over and asked in a low voice.

Dennis picked up two pieces of ice from the ice bucket on the side, put them into the cup, poured himself a glass of orange wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then replied:

"The background of the Silver Moon Elf military, and he came back from the Pajisto Plateau."

The tone of the second half of the sentence is obviously more serious.

The bartender became stunned at this time. Apparently he had guessed where Roy was coming from, and said somewhat unconfidently:

"So he's not trying to fatten sheep by asking about those rich people?"

"The people he is looking for should be the mine owners who escaped from the Pagisto Plateau." Dennis scratched his hair and exhaled a long breath.

"..."

The bartender didn't want to talk anymore.

But Dennis, the mixed-race female elf, was still saying: "I guess..."

The bartender quickly interrupted her: "Stop talking, Dennis, just pretend I didn't hear anything."

"What a coward."

Dennis muttered something quietly and stopped talking.

…

When Roy walked into the tavern, there were already many drinkers sitting in the tavern.

The room was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. Roy avoided the two scantily clad mixed-race female elves and walked straight to the bar.

The bartender pushed a glass of orange wine and it happened to slide in front of Roy.

Dennis, who was sitting next to him, turned around and said to Roy:

"I invite you!"

After Dennis finished speaking, he pushed another piece of paper in front of Roy and continued:

"There is only this information at the moment. I just returned to Padstow City two days ago and bought a tree house in the first district of the city. It looks like I plan to live in Padstow City for a while. Time, I am currently looking for connections everywhere, and want to buy a teleportation pass on the black market and sneak back to the Elf Continent."

Roy took out a teleportation pass from his arms, placed it casually on the bar, then drew out his dagger and cut it open, handed half of it to Dennis, and said:

"Find a way to get the black marketeer to give this to him, then agree on a time to meet, and then notify me..."

"I only accept inquiries for information, not other orders. I'm not an iceworm reselling teleportation passes." Dennis refused without even looking at the half of the teleportation pass.

Roy ignored what she said, lowered his head, took off the money bag from his waist, and threw it on the counter in front of her.

The knot on the money bag was gently opened by Roy, and several magic crystals rolled out along the mouth of the money bag and landed on the table with a crisp impact.

Dennis was so frightened that he quickly covered the money bag with both hands and calmly put the magic crystal back into the money bag. This bag was not very big, but it could also hold more than a dozen magic crystals. Seeing Roy, he couldn't bear it. With a doubtful expression on his face, Dennis could only agree in a low voice:

"Okay, although this is a bit troublesome, I'll take it."

"It will still be the same time tomorrow. I'll wait for news here." After Roy said that, he turned and left the tavern, leaving very simply, without any worry that Dennis would donate money and abscond.

Seeing Roy's back disappearing at the door of the pub, the bartender who was huddled on the other side of the bar came back and praised in front of Dennis:

"Tsk, tsk, if the source of the information is not very reliable, who would dare to believe that he is the boss Roy who took the mixed elves to occupy the entire Pagisto Plateau. I heard that there are many mines on the Pagisto Plateau?"

Dennis stared at the bag of money in his hand and nodded.

"Lord Alves has covered the Pagisto Plateau for so many years, and now Pagisto has changed hands?" the bartender said again, with a tone full of envy.

"He didn't take over the Pagisto Plateau from Alves. He drove away the plateau headhunters on the plateau and fought to take the Pagisto Plateau back again and again..."

The eyes of the mixed-race female elf Dennis flickered.

…

It was already evening when Roy returned to the hotel. He had hardly eaten anything all day long and just drank some fruit tea.

Thinking that the hotel only served breadfruit at night, he bought a bag of green apples on the roadside and held it in his arms. When he walked into the hotel, the owner of the hotel bar indicated with his eyes that someone was waiting for him in the rest area.

Roy stopped and turned to look at the hotel rest area. A Silver Moon Elf officer just stood up.

He was wearing a uniform of a civilian employee of the Silver Pegasus Legion, and he was also a Silver Moon Elf. The eyes of the two elf girls standing at the front desk immediately became a little straight...

The Silver Moon Elf officer walked up to Roy and took the initiative to give Roy a military salute:

"Lord Consul Roy! Hello, I am the aide-de-camp of General Lucius. The General knows that you are in Padstow City and wants to meet you."

Roy is currently not only the governor of Barrier Town, but also the owner of the mine in Pagisto Plateau and the captain of the mine guard team. The Archon of Barrier Town is Roy's most honorable title.

"Mr. President, when do you want to see me?" Roy asked in surprise.

Unless he needs to apply for military supplies, he does not need to contact the chief of the Silver Pegasus Legion Logistics Department.

Moreover, the Logistics Department has repeatedly blocked military supplies shipped to the Padstow Plateau in Padstow City. Roy did not have a good impression of General Lucius. Roy guessed that the General Manager probably also I don't have a good impression of myself.

So when Roy came to Padstow City this time, he only registered with the military department and did not take the initiative to visit the senior officials of the army.

At present, the situation in the Pagisto Plateau is relatively stable, and various mines are gradually resuming operations. After the expansion of Lysander's pack team, the transportation capacity has been greatly enhanced. The food supplied to the Pagisto Plateau is basically transported from Barrier Town. out.

As for other supplies, Roy actually plans to purchase them from Castletown City. After all, he currently has a large number of metal ingots and gems in his hands, and there is no need to look at the face of Mr. Lucius.

In addition, Roy was promoted by Earl Swinburne. These supplies failed to be delivered to the Pagisto Plateau as soon as possible. This shows that Lord Lucius and Earl Swinburne are not friends.

"Are you free tomorrow morning?" the Silver Moon Elf adjutant asked.

Roy nodded and said, "Yes!"

"The Chief will leave you half an hour."

After the Silver Moon Elf adjutant said this, he nodded to Roy, then turned and left in an elegant manner.

…

At the Silver Pegasus Legion headquarters in Padstow City, the Silver Moon Elf adjutant appeared outside the door of the highest floor of the tree house.

‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

The Silver Moon Elf adjutant knocked on the door and walked in. The slightly fat Mr. Lucius was sitting on the lounge chair in front of the window. His legs were covered with a blanket and he was enjoying it with his eyes squinted. Massage from Silver Moon Elf Girl.

Seeing that the Silver Moon Elf adjutant came in, Commander Lucius raised his arm, and the Silver Moon Elf girl immediately stood up and left.

"Have you seen that half-elf?" Chief Lucius asked.

The Silver Moon Elf adjutant stood aside, nodded and said, "He looks very young, similar to what Helix described. It's hard to believe that he ate all the mines on the plateau in one go."

"Why……"

President Lucius sighed. Although the military headquarters had been trying to block the military supplies sent to the Pagisto Plateau, they could not stop the half-elf from fighting.

Earl Swinburne was busy dealing with the chaos in the Queen Egwene Islands. Originally, the Silver Pegasus Legion had evacuated in full, but who would have thought that this young man who was single-handedly pushed to the position of mine owner by Earl Swinburne would not be able to survive. I thought he was the white glove of Earl Swinburne, but now it seems that this guy is simply a wind wolf, swallowing up all the bones and flesh of the Pagisto Plateau...

"The half-elf Swinburne chose was originally just a guide and advisor in the Helix Cavalry Pioneer Regiment. Helix kept him in the Cavalry Regiment and did not give him any chance, but he did not expect that the Cavalry Pioneer Regiment would not Being able to open up the situation at Pagisto Plateau gave the Silver Pegasus group a chance to enter."

Chief Lucius continued.

"Although there were some troubles on the Queen Egwene Islands, forcing the Silver Pegasus Chapter to leave early, our legion failed to follow up in time. The main reason was to use the plateau headhunters to clean up the mixed blood on the plateau. Elves... In short, we are very passive this time, but it is impossible to give away all the cakes like this..."

Chief Lucius stopped here.

He smoothed the soft blond hair on his head with his hand and felt that he had lost a lot of hair again.
