Path of Light.

Chapter 533 534. Quarrel
The three investigators sat in the lounge area of ​​the military headquarters hall, their hearts filled with anger as they looked at the receptionist sitting opposite them.

He kept complaining to the reception staff at the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters about how bad the public security on the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane was.

What a huge price did the three of them pay to escape from the headhunters? They traveled thousands of kilometers with a small merchant caravan and visited many places before returning to Padstow.

"We were trying to cross the Caldeum Mountains... You don't know... We..."

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist sitting on the sofa opposite didn't even know where the Pagisto Plateau was. She listened quietly to the three investigators chattering about the security problems in the Pagisto Plateau.

She turned her head and looked at the power map of the area occupied by the Partington plane elves in the lobby on the first floor. In fact, apart from the jungle around the city of Padstow, the only thing on that map that had a rough border outline was the town of Rampart in the north of the Griffin Rampart Mountains.

This is the official territory of the Silver Pegasus Legion...

Although the Pagisto Plateau is now under the control of the Silver Pegasus Legion, no new areas have been added to the power map here.

The receptionist listened quietly to the three investigators' accusations and then said:

"My three investigators, we belong to the Partington plane. Only the jungle between Padstow City and Rampart Town is occupied by elves. The Padstow Plateau is still in the development stage, so if you are attacked by headhunters there, you are not the only one."

She noticed that the three investigators looked unhappy, so she gave a dry laugh and said:
"If you suffered financial losses at that time, actually... the best solution is to seek help from the local mine guards. I believe they will be willing to help the three investigators..."

Her latter sentence was originally intended to make up for the shortcomings of the previous sentence.

However, she suddenly paused halfway through her sentence, which made the sentence sound a little unpleasant.

The investigator suppressed his anger and said to the young Silver Moon Elf receptionist, "What do you mean? According to you, is it normal for us to be attacked by the natives on the Pagisto Plateau?"

"Indeed!"

The receptionist lowered her eyelids and responded in a low voice.

When the investigator heard the irresponsible words of the Silver Moon Elf receptionist, he could not suppress his anger and stood up and angrily scolded the receptionist:
"What are you talking about? As a low-level official in the Silver Pegasus military, how can you say such irresponsible things?"

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist then realized that she seemed to have angered the other party. She shrank into the corner of the sofa in fear, blinking her watery eyes and not daring to speak.

The investigator raised his voice:

"I'm going to complain to your best officer here! I'm a Silver Moon Elf noble who has a precious friendship with Earl Macaulay. You're really disappointing me by talking like this."

His voice could be heard from far away, and all the elves in the hall looked towards the rest area.

……

While Roy was filling out the registration form at the front desk, he heard an argument in the lounge area.

Originally he didn't take it seriously and even chatted with the smiling Silver Moon Elf receptionist.

In fact, at the Silver Pegasus Military Headquarters, even the front desk receptionist is a Silver Moon Elf with a background.

Many of them were like Christine, who had gained experience in the Silver Pegasus Corps. But Christine was obviously much stronger than them, at least she had been to the battlefield of Queen Eweni Islands.

The name 'Boss Roy' is now almost a household name in Padstow and is very popular among half-blood elves.

The Silver Moon Elf receptionist smiled and asked Roy what the scenery of the Pagisto Plateau was like.

Roy answered a few questions casually, handed in the registration form, and turned to leave the front desk.

He also wanted to go to the logistics and transportation team to see if he could apply for another batch of military supplies. When he passed by the rest area, he happened to see three investigators arguing with the receptionist.

Roy felt that the three investigators looked familiar, so he stopped.

In fact, this kind of thing is not very common in the Silver Pegasus military.

Who has the guts to cause trouble in the military?

Aren’t you afraid that the military will hold up logistical supplies?

But he didn't take the quarrel to heart.

But when he heard the words "Pagisto Plateau" in the quarrel, he concentrated and listened...

Later, Roy realized that this quarrel was indeed related to him. It turned out that the three Silver Moon Elves standing in the rest area were investigators who went to the Plateau City to investigate the cause of death of the owner of the Abir mine.

Roy immediately took two steps back and stood behind several Silver Moon Elf officers.

At this time, many officers had gathered around the rest area in the lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters.

However, everyone had no good solution to the three angry Silver Moon Elf investigators who loudly scolded the reception staff.

The officers didn't even know how to calm the quarrel down; they couldn't just arrest the three investigators.

Soon, a Silver Moon Elf official walked over quickly.

Everyone moved to the sides, and Roy also mixed in the crowd.

The Silver Moon Elf official glanced at the scolded Silver Moon Elf receptionist and calmly ordered: "You go to the front desk, I will handle the things here!" The elf female receptionist puffed her lips, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and left without looking back.

Soon after, another Silver Moon Elf female receptionist came over quickly with a tray containing three cups of lemon tea.

The officer politely asked the three investigators to sit down again.

Roy knew this officer. He was the person in charge of the lobby on the first floor of the military headquarters.

The officer glanced at the officers who were watching around him, and before he could say anything, the onlookers dispersed and went about their own business.

The three investigators saw the badge on the elf official's collar, and their fierce auras were immediately restrained.

The Silver Moon Elf official smiled faintly and said:
"Let's arrange a place for you to rest first. If you need anything, just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you. If I can't, I will report your problem to the higher-ups. What do you think?"

One of the investigators, whose face flushed red, snorted in dissatisfaction and asked, "Who is the highest commander of your military?"

"General Camp Fred." The Silver Moon Elf officer said very concisely.

The three investigators exchanged glances before saying, "We want to see the chief."

The Silver Moon Elf officer said without hesitation: "No problem, I will make an appointment for you immediately."

The investigator asked in dissatisfaction, "Do we need to make an appointment to meet Chief Camp Fred?"

The Silver Moon Elf officer smiled and said, "General Camp Fred is currently in a meeting at the Silver Pegasus Corps headquarters in the Queen Eweni Islands. If you want to see him right away, I can send you away from the Partington plane immediately."

The investigators looked at each other again and agreed calmly, "Sure, I just happen to be visiting Captain Macaulay."

The Silver Moon Elf officer calmed the three investigators down with just a few words.

……

Roy mixed in the crowd and watched the three investigators follow the Silver Moon Elf official out of the first floor hall of the military headquarters.

A group of Silver Moon Elf officers saw the three investigators leaving the military hall and immediately began to talk.

They were somewhat dissatisfied with the arrogant attitude of the three investigators.

"These three investigators... why are they like this?"

The female Silver Moon elf at the front desk who had just been chatting and laughing with Roy sneered and said in a low voice: "Does it mean that we are inferior to other Silver Moon elves just because we work in the Partington plane?"

The colleague standing next to him glanced at Roy who was walking away and whispered:
"They went to investigate our army officers privately, and they needed the military's cooperation, which was totally fine! But they went to the Pagisto Plateau to investigate and collect evidence privately, and they didn't even need the military to send someone to accompany them, nor did they need the guards we arranged. Now that something has gone wrong, they come to our military to condemn us. What's the logic?"

"They came here just to find fault. What can we do?"

"Stop talking, this is too sensitive..."

After Roy was promoted to a first-level high priest, his five senses became much sharper than before, and these whispers did not escape his ears.

He pushed the door open calmly and left the military hall.

Standing on the street, Roy scratched his head in distress.

He didn't expect that the news that he was being investigated by the Buenos Elf Elder Council had spread throughout the Padstow Silver Pegasus military.

It is true that good news never travels far, but bad news travels a thousand miles!
This time, Roy came to the military headquarters to sign in and submitted an application.

In fact, this application is already the last step. He hopes to set up a management department for the magic airships on the Partington plane.

If the airport terminal in Padstow City was no longer under his jurisdiction, he would not even need to submit this application to the Padstow Silver Pegasus Military.

Captain Berkeley had helped him complete the relevant procedures for the construction of the airport terminal some time ago, and built an airport terminal on the outskirts of Padstow.

Currently, these two magic airships are docked at the airport terminal in Padstow City.

Roy walked to a carriage and asked the driver about the rental fee.

He also had to rush to the warehouse to meet Rambo.

The lifting of the ban on the Partington plane had a great impact on Roy's trade in primary magic herbs. Although the merchant Augustus controlled the supply of goods from the Blackwater Swamp, Roy still wanted the transaction between the two parties to be as close to the market price as possible.

In fact, he didn't trade magic herbs for the purpose of making money. What could be more profitable than opening a mine?

He just wanted to transport the large amount of primary magic herbs accumulated on the Partington plane to the Elf Continent, so as to improve the living conditions of the collectors on the Partington plane. Who would have thought that the magic herb market would suddenly explode, and the prices of these magic herbs would increase exponentially...

Nowadays, the trade of primary magic herbs is actually more profitable than opening a mine!

In addition to Augustus purchasing magic herbs from the Blackwater Swamp, Leisander also transports a large batch of magic herbs from the Pagisto Plateau every month.

Therefore, Roy planned to give up the maximum profit, at least to catch up with the market purchase price. Anyway, his primary magic herb business also had tax subsidies from the Silver Pegasus military, and he couldn't let those collectors lose money.
