Path of light

Chapter 540 541. Leader Berkeley’s plan

In fact, Roy did not expect that the Padstow Military Department would intervene in the management of the Padstow Plateau Mine at this time.

The Mine Guard Corps had just experienced the Battle of Sun Island Bay. Not only did the Padstow Silver Pegasus military headquarters not provide any help, they also reduced the quarterly supply of military supplies to the Padesto Plateau by 30%.

There was a muffled sound from the office door, completely cutting off Chief Kemp Fred's sight.

Chief Kemp Fred stared at the wooden door covered with ivy patterns, with a gloomy expression on his face. He suddenly inserted the quill into the ink bottle, and the ink splashed out and stained Chief Kemp Fred's hands. .

He took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the ink on his hands, breathing as steadily as possible.

Unexpectedly, this young half-elf would dare to openly oppose him. He is the chief of the logistics department of the Silver Pegasus Legion and is in control of the Legion's material allocation.

He angrily tore the parchment in half and spoke into the sound tube:

"Call Captain Brad here..."

…

Roy walked out of the Silver Pegasus military headquarters and stood on the steps. The warm sunshine shone on his face, which made his dull mood a little better.

Walking down the steps, I thought to myself: Since General Kemp Fred wants to intervene in the mines on the Pagisto Plateau, let's do it!

It just so happens that there are several abandoned mines on the Caldeum Mountains that are not managed yet. Currently, the Silver Pegasus Cavalry Team and the Assassin Team are clearing out the small group of headhunters hiding in the mountains.

Since General Kemp Fred has the idea of ​​taking over the mine, it is definitely impossible to give up the operating mines casually, so let Kemp Fred give away several mines on the west side of the Kaltim Mountains and let Kemp Fred Commander Red, go and deal with the plateau headhunters in the Kaldim Mountains.

This time Roy expressed his attitude directly to Commander Kemp Fred.

Although there was no way to stop the military from dispatching mine owners to the Pagisto Plateau, Roy still had the right to decide which mine to hand over.

Roy boarded a carriage, pushed open the carriage window, and exhaled softly.

…

Pushing open the door and walking into a tea restaurant, Roy walked up the long stairs.

The architecture in Padstow is not very good in this regard. Most of the buildings are on the tops of trees, so every time you enter a building, you have to climb a long set of stairs.

Stepping out of an archway, the light becomes brighter.

There was a burst of soothing music from the top of the tree, and Roy walked to a platform.

This tea restaurant is built on the top of a tree.

It is made up of several tree houses connected together.

Some tree houses are even semi-open, with seats placed on the terrace. Each terrace has dense branches and leaves to block the view, giving it a certain degree of privacy.

Sitting on the platform, you can enjoy the unique scenery of Padstow City.

Padstow is a city where countless tree houses are piled up. You can only see the beauty of the city by standing on the top of the trees.

A waiter led Roy to Captain Berkeley who was sitting in the corner. Roy sat casually across from Captain Berkeley. Leader Berkeley ordered a cup of lemon tea from the waiter and waited for him. After the waiter left, the Berkeley leader asked Roy:

"Have you gone to see Chief Kemp Fred?"

"Yeah." Roy said depressedly.

Leader Berkeley chuckled and said:

"You don't seem to be in a very beautiful mood."

Roy complained: "He wants the management rights of several mines. I can't understand it. The mines on Pagisto were originally things that no one wanted. The battle in Pagisto The infantry commanders on the plateau don’t want to stay and manage the mine, so why are they interested again?”

Captain Berkeley smiled, patted Roy on the shoulder and explained:

"If they had taken over the mine, they would not only have to resist the headhunters on the plateau, but also be responsible for rescuing the elf slaves in the mine. Next, they would have to manage the mine. I don't know how much trouble there would be. At that time, the Partington plane was also Without the lifting of the ban, the value of those metal ingots is not high, how could they stay and manage the mine? "

"But it's different now. Now the war situation in Padstow Plateau has stabilized, and the Elf Mining Slaves have been properly resettled. There are also air routes between Plateau City and Padstow City, and operating mines is comparable to those stationed in Ivan." Queen Elizabeth Islands are more comfortable.”

"Furthermore, the ban on the Partington plane has been lifted. The elven merchants have all gone to the Partington plane to do business. Now they only need to transport the metal ingots to Padstow City, and they won't have to worry about not being able to sell them."

"With the current interests, some elves will naturally be jealous..."

Roy said nothing.

Captain Berkeley patted Roy on the shoulder again and comforted him:

"I know you are unwilling to give up the mines on the plateau, but Kemp Fred is the chief of the logistics department of the Silver Pegasus Corps. You cannot disobey the military's orders. During this sensitive period, you cannot give anything to the military. Leave any bad impression on the senior management of the department.”

"...because your position is quite sensitive."

"You have another mixed-blood elf army in your hands, and the current size of the army has reached 10,000 mixed-blood elf warriors. It is already a force that cannot be ignored on the Partington plane."

"And you have gained a high reputation in Padstow City recently, so it is inevitable that you will come into the sight of the higher-ups of the legion."

"As far as I know, the military department's decision to intervene in the management of the Pagisto Plateau mine is just the first step. Since you are already the governor of Pagisto Plateau, it is not suitable for you to concurrently serve as the governor of Barrier Town. I would like to suggest to Brother You that instead of letting the military department issue an order to remove you from your post, you should take the initiative to let go of the Archon of Barrier Town."

Roy was slightly startled.

Although he is the governor of Barrier Town, he rarely participates in the management of Barrier Town. He only works on a temporary basis...

Roy said dullly: "As a consul, I really haven't done anything for Barrier Town..."

Captain Berkeley nodded, he knew this very well.

"You served as the governor of Barrier Town just to act as a buffer. Now that Barrier Town has begun to develop slowly and stably, you can withdraw." Captain Berkeley continued: "I think in this matter, you You can give in appropriately. Now you are attracting attention from the military department, which is not a good thing. In addition, the three investigators from the Silver Moon Elf Council of Elders in Buenos are at the headquarters of the Silver Pegasus Legion. The investigation is not over yet!”

"I know..." Roy agreed.

Captain Berkeley came to Roy's side and whispered:

"In the next period of time, I will serve as the governor of Padstow City. How lively this city is now... You also know that Padstow City will expand rapidly in the next period of time. The city opposite On the hillside, there is already a preliminary urban plan, and some elf merchants have even begun to build tree houses, and the edge of the city will slowly extend over there. "

"As long as Padstow City can develop, I'll probably be the biggest beneficiary."

Leader Berkeley smiled:

"He may also become a candidate for the chief of the Silver Pegasus Legion's logistics department."

Roy suddenly discovered that the promotion route of Captain Berkeley was a low-key and steady promotion...

"ah……"

Roy didn't expect to hear such news from the leader of Berkeley.

Roy found that sitting in the position of the consul of Padstow City, he could really gain a lot of achievements in the next period of time.

With the release of the ban on the Partington plane, it will be difficult for Padstow City to develop...

Of course, as the elf population in Padstow City continues to increase, the security issues in the city will become more and more troublesome.

Fortunately... Captain Berkeley controls the Padstow City Security Guard Corps.

As long as this city is run well, this achievement will definitely fall on the head of the Berkeley delegation.

Captain Berkeley put his arm around Roy's shoulders and lowered his voice and said:

"So Roy, you just need to be patient on the Pagisto Plateau for a while, and when Kemp Fred's term ends, I will help you realize your dream."

Roy felt a little numb and asked doubtfully: "My dream...?"

He actually has a dream, but what can Captain Berkeley do?

"The Partington plane is so big, don't you want to go and see the area west of Pagisto Plateau and Sun Island Bay?" Captain Berkeley said cheerfully.

"Ah! Actually I don't have such an idea." Roy replied honestly.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of Captain Berkeley, Roy continued: "But... I will stay on the Pagisto Plateau and wait for you to be promoted to the Chief of the Silver Pegasus Legion's Logistics Department."

"That's good!" Captain Berkeley nodded with satisfaction.

Next, Captain Berkeley told Roy about the current troubles in Padstow...

In fact, with the appearance of a large number of adventure groups in Padstow City, many adventure groups with relatively fixed members have emerged in the city. There are also many temporarily formed adventure groups in the adventure union. These adventure groups are purely for entering the jungle to collect. When using magic herbs, they can take care of each other.

But here's the problem.

Not all elves are noble, hardworking and kind.

With more elves taking part in adventures, it is inevitable that there will be some elves with evil intentions.

Padstow City's security guard regiment is responsible for handling these matters...

Captain Berkeley also discovered that there have been many second-level experts coming to the Partington plane in recent times.

They were obviously eyeing the dragon flies in the Blackwater Swamp, or the more powerful monsters in the unknown area of ​​​​the Partington plane.

Captain Berkeley wants to continue to expand the number of mixed elf warriors in the Security Guard Corps so that they can deal with the next situation in Padstow City.

…

Roy did not spend the night in Padstow.

In the evening, the third magic airship left Padstow City and headed to the Plateau City carrying a ship full of fruits and daily necessities. Moira, Sabrina, Miss Tiffany and Woods also accompanied it.

After the magic airship flew over the Collapse Land, it soon arrived at the Nicobar Mountains in the eastern part of the Pagisto Plateau.

The mines here are still abandoned, and there are also a group of surviving headhunters in the Nicobar Mountains. The mines here have been relatively completely destroyed. Restoring normal operations is not much easier than building a new mine...

The third magic airship successfully passed through the Gasai Mountains and arrived at the plateau city.

The mixed-blood elves at the airport terminal here are already used to it, and they quickly unloaded boxes of fruits from the airship.

According to Roy's previous instructions, the Blacksmith Workshop in the Gasi Mountains is making a batch of iron chains. These chains are used to strengthen the seawall and docks on the northern coast of Sun Island Bay. However, these chains have not yet been sent to the plateau. The city’s airport terminal warehouse.

This time Roy came to the Plateau City. Most of the streets in the city had been repaired with drainage channels, and the streets in the city were paved with bluestone slabs, which looked clean and tidy.

Walking along the street to the city hall, the area of ​​the Plateau City is not large, and there are many elf merchants on the street.

Everyone is learning about this city through various channels and looking for some real business opportunities...

Moira, Miss Tiffany, and Woods wanted to go to the free market in the small town together, while Roy needed to go to the city hall and meet Mulin, so everyone separated in a small square.

Moira, Miss Tiffany, and Woods went to the free market, and Roy and Sabrina went to the city hall...

Roy took Sabrina to the city hall.

Mulin was in the meeting hall, staring at the map of the Caldim Mountains, with many marked points drawn on the map.

Roy walked into the meeting hall and signaled the half-blood elf warrior next to him not to remind Mulin. He walked over, stood beside Mulin, and kept the same action as Mulin, looking at the map on the wall.

But Mulin didn't show any surprise. She looked at Roy calmly and said:

"You came at the right time... This batch of fruits on the ship may be sent to the north of the plateau again. Captain Helike just sent an elf warrior to deliver a letter. The food problem in the ancestral land of Gazan has not been solved yet!"

"Aren't you surprised to see me? Mulin." Roy asked in confusion.

Mulin was a little speechless. She pointed to the sky outside the window and said to Roy: "Please, such a big magic airship just landed from the sky. It's impossible not to see it..."

"Well, then transport all the fruits and daily necessities over. The magic airship will stay in the plateau city for a few days. It's just right to take advantage of this time to send this batch of supplies on the ship." Roy said. "Recently in the plateau city..."

Roy and Mulin talked about the public security of the plateau city, and talked about the subsequent construction direction of the plateau city, as well as the management system of headhunters in the prisoner-of-war concentration camp.

Mulin managed the city almost completely according to Roy's ideas...

Just as Roy was looking at the map on the wall, Mulin turned around and said to Sabrina:

"Sabrina, how long can you stay in the Plateau City this time?"

"It should be about a month. What's the matter?" Sabrina thought for a while and replied.

"Recently, the city has recruited a group of half-blood elf warriors. I would like to ask you to give them a few elementary martial arts lessons!"

Sabrina thought about it and readily agreed:

"If it's just one month, it should be no problem!"
