Path of light

Chapter 448 449. Request

Captain Helix quickly passed through the corridor on the top floor and came to the door of Chief Lucius's office. He stood up straight and calmed down his rapid breathing. Then he knocked on the door and heard a response from inside, "Helix" Captain Si opened the door and stepped into the room.

Chief Lucius frowned and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Helix, what happened to the assassination in the campus last night?"

The Silver Moon Elf living area has always been considered the most secure area in Padstow City. Two members of the Council of Elf Elders asked him about last night's assassination this morning. This made Chief Lucius... I felt very unhappy. After all, he was just the chief of the Legion's Logistics Department, and he was mainly responsible for the overall deployment and procurement of the legion's military supplies.

Chief Lucius rarely interferes with matters related to public security.

Captain Helix immediately replied:

"I only received the news in the morning. I estimate that some assassins who ran down from the Pajisto Plateau killed the two mine owners. I have already buried the bodies of the two mine owners. What will happen next? Leave it to the trial court to handle."

Commander Lucius was very satisfied with Captain Helix's handling of the matter.

It's good to leave the problem to the Council of Elf Elders.

However, Chief Lucius immediately realized something and felt a little uneasy. He quickly asked: "Two mine owners died? The mine owners on the Pagisto Plateau?"

"They are two of the four mine owners you met at the dance the night before yesterday, Seagonais and Agalia." Captain Helix explained while taking out the magic pocket. A box was placed directly in front of Commander Lucius.

Captain Helix opened the buckle of the box, and the moment he lifted the lid, the colorful magic crystals inside the box suddenly emitted a gleaming light.

These magic crystals are of various types, with the majority being those with wind and earth attributes.

A large box full of magic crystals immediately attracted all his attention.

Originally, Director Lucius was still thinking about how to break away from the four mine owners.

He pursed his lips and said, "Who are the mine owners who sent this box of magic crystals?"

"This is the portal construction and maintenance fee paid by the owners of the Arman Mine and the Darias Mine." Captain Helix said

Commander Lucius struggled in his heart for a while before he made up his mind and told Captain Helix:

"You go and send the two of them to Partington Island at noon, otherwise if anything happens to them, we may be implicated."

"I understand, Chief Lucius, I'll do it right away."

Hearing what Chief Lucius said, Captain Helix's heart finally calmed down.

He quietly pushed a whole box of magic crystals under Chief Lucius's desk.

Chief Lucius sat on the chair and said to Captain Helix with a kind face:

"Helix, we must be careful in this matter. We must not only send them to Partington Island, but also find a ship to take them out of the port. I don't want their identities to be exposed on Partington Island." go out."

"I will personally lead people to handle this matter." Captain Helix promised.

"Can't make any mistakes, send them away quickly..."

Chief Lucius ordered.

To be honest, he didn't want to pay attention to these troubled mine owners. He could see a box full of magic crystals under the table, and he felt comfortable again.

As the Chief of Logistics Department of the Silver Pegasus Legion, Lucius was assigned to the Partington plane by the Legion's senior management, which in itself felt marginalized.

Lucius also knew that it was impossible for him to be re-elected as the commander-in-chief. He was assigned to the Partington plane so that he could resign with dignity. In fact, this was not impossible. The climate in Padstow City was pleasant, and he occasionally lay down Sitting on the wicker chair in the office, basking in the sun through the window, this kind of day is also very comfortable.

Now that he has received such a large sum of magic crystals, Commander Lucius feels it is worth the risk...

…

Captain Helix did not let the owner of the Arman mine and the owner of the Darias mine in the carriage wait. In fact, he was also worried that the carriage parked at the entrance of the military gate would be noticed by interested people. Once it was caught by the mixed-blood elf They discovered that the Silver Pegasus Legion had contacts with the mine owners on the Pagisto Plateau. That was the worst part...

The owner of the Alman mine felt a little relieved when he saw Captain Helix riding a horse in front, letting the carriage follow him, and rushed all the way to the central square.

There were very few carriages on the street. I encountered Silver Moon Elf guards several times along the way. Those Elf guards would stop on their own initiative, salute Captain Helix, and watch Captain Helix leave with the carriage.

Along the way, no elf dared to come forward and ask.

The owner of Yaman Mine closed his eyes. He didn't sleep all night last night. He felt a little groggy...

The young owner of Darias Mine was observing the exquisite scenery outside the window. Seeing that almost all the shops on the street were closed, he couldn't help but whisper:

"Padstow City is much more dilapidated than it was five years ago..."

Carriages loaded with goods left the central square, crossed the central avenue, and arrived at the huge warehouse behind the Silver Pegasus military headquarters.

According to Earl Swinburne's vision, the Partington plane will become a logistics warehouse for the Silver Pegasus Legion, so a large amount of supplies will arrive at the Partington plane at this time.

The carriage stopped at the roadside of the central square. Captain Helix did not let the two mine owners Arman and Darias get off. Instead, he asked them to wait patiently in the carriage and rode straight away alone. On the square.

At this time, there were still a large number of military supplies in the square being transported out of the portal.

There are also piles of various materials in the central square. Many of the materials are packed in wooden boxes and have the seal of the Silver Pegasus Legion.

The carriage stopped and the owner of the Yaman Mine opened his eyes.

The portal not far away is spreading the halo of magic outwards. The door to space is like a mirror, and the materials shipped out from it will cause ripples in the portal.

Although this is a one-way portal, in fact, every once in a while, the portal will go backwards for a while, so that the mixed-blood elven workers responsible for material transportation can return to Partington Island.

It's just that the service to Partington Island is not open to the public.

This time Captain Helix walked to the portal to communicate with the captain of the portal guard whether Arman and Darias could be forced into these mixed-blood elf workers, so that they could leave Pa one step ahead. Tinton plane.

…

Sitting in the carriage, Darias felt uneasy. He looked at the Silver Moon Elf guards around him and asked the owner of the Arman Mine in a low voice:

"Uncle Arman, do you think Captain Helix will sell us out?"

The owner of the Yaman mine leaned on the leather seat in the carriage and said casually: "Absolutely not. Now that they have collected our magic crystal, they are already on the same boat with us. The only way to get us out of Pa is safely." They won’t have any trouble in the Tinton plane.”

"Otherwise, once we are caught, the first thing we will do is tell them about accepting bribes..."

After the owner of Arman Mine finished speaking, he turned to look at Captain Helix in the central square.

The owner of the Darias mine looked better after hearing what the owner of the Alman mine said. He picked up the teacup on the table and drank some water.

With Captain Helix's active communication, the captain of the portal guard agreed to Captain Helix's request and allowed him to stuff the two mixed elves in.

Captain Helix quickly rode to the carriage and waved to the owner of the Arman Mine in the carriage, gesturing for him to get out of the car quickly.

The owner of the Arman Mine and the owner of the Darias Mine stepped off the carriage one after another. Captain Helix also jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the Silver Moon Elf warrior next to him, and personally led the owner of the Arman Mine towards the teleportation Door.

At this time, there were only some flat carriages transporting supplies in the central square.

The owner of the Arman mine looked at the huge portal just around the corner, his heart beating like a drum. The young owner of the mine next to him, Darias, also looked excited.

Apparently Captain Helix had communicated with the portal guards. They quickly came to the portal, but no portal guard paid any attention to them.

…

At this moment, a half-elf boy, Roy, walked out of the portal.

Roy's eyes fell on the owners of the Arman Mine and the Darias Mine, and he shouted loudly from a few meters away:

"Arman Mine Owner, Darias Mine Owner, I didn't expect to meet you here. According to the laws of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, you are suspected of engaging in elf slave trading, so now I want to formally arrest you."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the ears of the owner of the Arman mine.

On the Pagisto Plateau, I heard that the owner of Roy Mine was a young-looking half-elf. Now that the owner of Arman Mine saw Roy's face, he pointed at Roy and exclaimed: " Are you Boss Roy?"

"Yes, it's me! I came to Padstow just to arrest all of you mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains..."

Roy spoke loudly, attracting almost all the portal guards in front of the portal, as well as a large group of mixed-blood elf porters, who all cast curious glances.

The face of Captain Helix, who was standing next to the owner of the Arman Mine, turned even more livid. He did not expect that the matter would be exposed at the last step.

Seeing the portal so close, Captain Helix wished he could push the owner of the Arman Mine and the owner of the Darias Mine directly into the portal, even if they were cut into countless pieces by the space cracks in the portal. Flesh and blood is better than standing here.

Roy seemed not to notice that the owners of the Arman Mine and the Darias Mine were brought by Captain Helix, and asked Captain Helix loudly:

"Captain Helix, you must not know that these two are the two mine owners in the Nicobar Mountains in the west of the Pagisto Plateau. They and Baron Alves once had a trade in elf slaves. I think Send them to the trial court of the Silver Moon Elf Council of Elders, can you help me catch them?"
