Path of Light.

Chapter 112. The Death of Peleus

A squadron of silver Pegasus appeared from the east sky. Sixty elf warriors wearing the same silver armor roared over from the sky, carrying a very strong killing aura. Even if they hovered in mid-air, It is also full of aura.

A captain flew out from among the elf warriors. He landed in front of the elf students on a silver flying horse, and asked loudly:

"Who sent the distress signal?"

Before the elf captain's questioning stopped, an elf girl in the crowd said:

"Uncle Olstein, we're in trouble here..."

A shy elf girl walked towards the captain of the Olstein squadron.

The captain of Austen immediately calmed down, and asked the girl softly, "Daisy, what happened?"

The elf girl named Daisy whispered: "A human adventure group entered the Malaga jungle, not only killed the academy instructor at the check-in point, but also captured some students."

The squadron leader of Orstein asked: "Where are the two elf fighters who came to investigate the situation earlier?"

Daisy seemed very uncomfortable talking with people in the crowd, and replied with a reddish face:

"They continued to chase westward. Uncle Orstein, it was Claire and Roy who discovered the abnormal situation at check-in point No. [-] this time. They may also know some more detailed information."

The elf students around immediately dispersed, exposing Roy and Claire.

"Are you Claire and Roy?" Captain Ostein asked, his tone not severe.

"It's us!" Roy and Claire answered tacitly.

"Did you find anything else?"

Claire looked at Roy, obviously wanting Roy to speak for himself.

Roy said: "Master Squadron, I saw them at the port pier on Brown Street in Castletown a month ago. They were the crew of a big ship at the time. After disembarking, I asked me to be a guide. I found a hotel, and later killed a dark moon elf in a tavern, and that night when I fled back to the sea ship, the sea ship left Castleton Harbor."

"So, their ship is likely to anchor in the nearby waters. This news is very useful to us."

The captain of Olstein Squadron turned around and waved to the Silver Pegasus Squadron behind him.

When the group of elf fighters had gathered, Captain Olstein ordered:
"The first team and the second team, keep a distance apart and search all the way to the west. After reaching the beach, go north and south along the coastline to look for their landing ships. If you find their traces, send an assembly signal immediately! "

"Yes! Squadron leader."

"The third team, the fourth team, the nearby jungle is densely populated, I need you to use the second check-in point as the central axis, and search for traces of this adventure group outside."

"Yes, squadron leader."

Finally, the leader of the Olstein squadron said to the last remaining group of elf fighters:

"The fifth team will stay with me and search for clues left by this adventure group."

The four Silver Pegasus squadrons dispersed immediately to carry out their respective missions, and only the fifth squadron was left guarding the side of the squadron leader Austen.

Squadron leader Olstein brought the elf fighters of the fifth team down one after another, and followed the elf students to the tent where the instructor of the elf academy was.

Seeing that the elf instructor's neck was cut, Captain Ostein frowned, and then ordered:
"Entomb the instructor of the Elven Academy."

"Yes!"

The elf fighters under him rushed up, and one of the elf fighters pulled out a few painted wooden boards from the magic pouch in a very exaggerated manner, and assembled a simple coffin outside the tent.

Then he carried the body of the college instructor into the coffin, and covered his body with a white cloth, and then closed the coffin lid.

Roy and the other elf students stood by, staring wide-eyed at the elf warrior after finishing all this, and then searched the tent again.

The squadron of the Silver Pegasus Legion came out to carry out the mission, and even brought the coffin with them.

This really opened Roy's eyes.

One of the elf warriors reported, "Olstein Squadron Leader, the other party is sophisticated and should be a professional hunter."

The squadron leader of Austen cursed angrily: "To say they are hunters is an insult to the word 'hunters'. They are a group of slave traders through and through."

"They hijacked the elf students, so they shouldn't be walking too fast. What we need to pay attention to is that they may not be discovered by them. Otherwise, once they feel the danger, once they lose their burdens, it will be even more difficult for us to catch them all. gone."

After searching the scene, the elf fighters of the fifth team dispersed again, looking for clues around the check-in point.

After tossing around, the clues I received are actually very limited...

The squadron leader of Ostan immediately decided to leave only two elf fighters at the check-in point, and the rest of the elf fighters would follow him to hunt down the adventure group.

After these elf fighters tossed around at the check-in point, they just put the instructor's body into the coffin and left quickly.

None of the group of elf students waiting at check-in point No. [-] left immediately. Everyone decided to stay at check-in point No. [-] for one night.

Because an instructor of the academy died at check-in point No. [-], and some students were taken away, it is inevitable that the Elf Academy will be held accountable for this matter.

Moreover, the teachers from the academy hadn't arrived yet, so everyone decided to wait here.

Some elf students simply camped in the open space under the cliff, waiting for the teachers from the academy to come over.

During this period, two more teams rushed to the No. [-] check-in point one after another. They heard that the instructor at the No. [-] check-in point was killed, and they all stayed where they were.

……

Roy and Claire finally found their two tents from the messy tents on the ground.

It's just that the two tents were covered with footprints and some places were torn, which made Claire want to cry while holding the tent.

Except for Roy and Claire, the other Silver Moon Elves did not suffer any losses.

When setting up the tents, everyone was guessing how many students were hijacked by this adventure group, but seeing so many abandoned tents around the check-in point, they knew that the number must not be too small.

At night, everyone built a bonfire under the cliff.

For dinner, the elves are almost eating fruit, some are berries picked up in the wild, some are breadfruit and elf biscuits brought by the elves,

In fact, elf biscuits are not made of wheat flour.

The real elf biscuits are made from nuts picked out from the tree of life, fried and powdered, filled with some honey, stirred evenly, and then pressed into cakes.

This kind of elf biscuit has always been the ration of individual soldiers in the elf army. It is said that they don't need to eat for a few days after eating one piece.

And the elf actually brought a bag of dried fish...

In fact, Roy really wanted to taste that lizard's tail, but Claire never satisfied his request. Under Claire's repeated insistence, all the petrified lizard meat was thrown away.

It is precisely because of this that Roy secretly made up his mind: when he has money, the first priority to buy is the magic pocket...

Beside the bonfire, Claire was still telling everyone what happened in the morning. Some elves arrived at the check-in point in the afternoon, and they didn't know what happened here.

……

Roy sat next to...

On his left is Claire, and on his right are several half-blood elves.

Probably because he found that Roy was very easy-going, a muscular half-blood elf approached Roy and asked him in a low voice:
"Roy, is that sailor really the murderer of Jefferson?"

Roy nodded, and then asked:
"You know Jefferson?"

The sturdy half-blood elf curled his lips and said:
"We are not familiar with him. He is a dark moon elf, and he doesn't usually look at us, but Peleus is very familiar with him. Peleus and I live in the same townhouse. Usually, Peleus will help We dealt with gangsters from other blocks, and Peleus also died inexplicably a while ago, I suspected that the gangsters from other blocks had made enemies with him and secretly worked behind his back, but now it seems that this group of slave traders may have killed him."

Roy didn't expect that this half-breed elf would know Peleus, and he had an idea in his heart, and asked casually:

"What about Peleus?"

The strong half-breed elf waved his hand quickly, and said with a smile: "That guy is a typical optimist, but his hands are a little dishonest, and he always likes to steal things, but he is really loyal. The children in our row building have all gotten it." His help."

Roy tried to ask again: "I heard he has a younger sister?"

Only then did the half-blood elf feel that Roy seemed to be very familiar with Peleus, so he said casually:
"You're talking about Windsor. She usually works in the library and doesn't live here. We rarely see her. Do you know their brothers and sisters?"

Roy shook his head and said in a low voice, "I can only count as knowing Jefferson, and I've heard the names Peleus and Windsor from him."

"Oh!" The doubt in the half-blood elf's eyes dissipated quickly, and then said to Roy mysteriously:
"Let me tell you, I've always thought that Peleus' death might have something to do with the priests of the Moon God Temple, because before Peleus died, someone in our row building saw a priest looking for him, but looking at it now Come on, we should have misunderstood the priest, I think it is very likely that this group of slave traders did it."

"So you told me this because you plan to wait for those slave traders to be arrested. If I have the opportunity to talk to those slave traders, I will confirm to them whether they killed Peleus?"

The half-blood elf smiled, and said a little embarrassedly:
"It's best to help us find the answer. You also know that we half-blood elves always lack some rights. I guess we won't be able to attend their trial meeting!"

Roy immediately agreed: "Well, if there is a chance, I will definitely ask for you."

"Thank you so much then!"

The half-blood elf immediately thanked him.
