In a spacious treehouse near the Silvermoon Spirits in Padstow City, five mine owners from the Nicobar Mountains sat around a round table, and the faces of several mine owners were gloomy, and it was clear that the news of the death of the Avar mine owner was like a bolt from the blue to them.

A candle was lit on the round table, and the flickering candle flame kept jumping in the pupils of several people.

The room was unusually dull, and there were several cups of fruit tea on the table, which went from hot to cold, and then from hot to hot again......

"Avar is dead, it is said that he was killed while trading teleportation passes, he was hit with a hole in the top of his head with a hammer, and when he died, his guards did not follow him, and all the valuable things on his body were searched, and when he was found, his face was covered with a parchment portrait with his name written on it, it should not have been done by a merchant in the black market."

Said a mine owner who could not tell his age.

A young mine owner sitting next to him hurriedly asked:

"Who do you think it will be?"

Another mine owner speculated, "Could it be a hunter who came down from the Pagisto Plateau?" Whoever kills and gets a reward. ”

"It's possible." The miner, who couldn't see the young man, nodded in response.

"Could it be the one on the plateau?" A hoarse voice said the mine owner.

He was an anxious man, and even his voice was thin when he said this.

His eyes widened as he looked at the mine owner, who could not tell his age, and it was obvious that the mine owner who could not tell his age was the backbone of several people......

The owner of the mine, who could not tell his age, responded: "There is no news about this for the time being, but I think it is very likely that ......"

Then he added: "Now the thieves' union in Padestor has chosen to remain silent, and this matter is obviously inseparable from them." ”

The young mine owner said with some concern: "So...... Our channel to buy teleportation passes from the black market is completely blocked, what should we do? ”

The hoarse voice of the mine owner's face became pale, he was so anxious that his voice was hoarse these days, and when he heard that the channel for buying teleportation passes on the black market had also been interrupted, he immediately said: "I want to leave Padstow City and go outside for a while first." ”

With that, he stood up from the round table and prepared to leave.

The mine owner, who couldn't tell his age, hurriedly reassured him:

"Avar's matter has spread in Padstow City, making us very passive now, even if we choose to leave, it is estimated that we will be targeted by the adventure group at this time, I do not advocate taking the risk of leaving Padstow City at this time."

The hoarse voice of the mine owner was a little excited, and he walked quickly to the door, saying as he went:

"But what if we stay in the city, we will be found out by them sooner or later, I can't control what you do, but I'm leaving Padstow City tonight!"

The young mine owner wanted to run over and grab him, shouting: "Carlos, calm down!" ”

"Ignore him, let him go!" The miner, who could not tell his age, waved his hand to let him go.

The mine owner walked out of the room without any problems, and quickly ran out of the treehouse, got into a carriage, and left the Silver Moon Elf residence at night.

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Since you are willing to stay and plan with me to go to the Elven Continent, then I will talk about my plan." The miner, who was unsightly old, walked to the window, pulled back the edge of the curtain and looked out, and it was impossible to see far away in the dark night.

He sat down again at the round table and said:

"I have an old friend in Padstow who is a broker and I have known each other for many years and have worked together a few times before, so he is absolutely trustworthy. He can get in touch with the captain of the Padstow City Guard, as long as we are willing to come up with a sum of money, we can buy a teleportation pass from this captain, although the price is a little expensive, but it is safe! If it goes well, there should be news in the next two days. ”

The other three remaining mine owners all looked at him with a happy face, at this time, he was able to buy off the head of the Silver Pegasus Military Guard Regiment, even if he didn't have a teleportation pass, it was estimated that there would be no problem in wanting to pass through the portal, because guarding the portal happened to be his duty.

The young mine owner said happily: "Uncle Yarman, you still have a way, then in this case, then I will wait in the city!" ”

"I just don't know how many magic crystals are needed for such a teleportation pass?" A mine owner who had not spoken all this time asked curiously.

"One thousand magic crystals." The owner of the Yarman mine opened his mouth to quote the price.

“……”

The faces of the mine owners were a little ugly, and no one spoke.

Although this price is a bit more expensive, several mine owners can accept it.

After the matter was settled, several mine owners quickly dispersed from the treehouse.

……

In the dense forest at night, I can't see my fingers around.

Squatting behind a bush, Dennis saw a carriage parked in front of the treehouse, from which a half-blood elf stepped down, followed by six half-blood elf warriors in leather armor.

The elves hurried into the treehouse, but the carriage parked at the door did not leave.

Not long after, another carriage stopped at the door of the treehouse.

Although all the windows were covered by the curtains, there were still shadows walking by the windows......

Dennis, who was squatting in the bushes opposite, frowned, and whispered to his companions: "Oops, they seem to want to slip away overnight, I have to inform the client of this news first, you are here to keep an eye on." ”

After saying that, he flashed out of the bushes and disappeared.

……

Roy didn't expect Dennis to be so efficient, and after investigating the information of the second mine owner, he actually ran to the hotel overnight to tell him the news.

When Dennis came to the door, Roy hadn't slept yet, and he looked like he had just entertained a few guests, and there were still a few teacups left on the sofa in the living room.

In fact, the reason why Roy hadn't slept so late was that Vice Captain Tennison ran from the Padesto Plateau to the city of Padestow with a team of assassins, and it was decided by Mullin, Timothy, and Tiprado.

One of the three disagreed, and Captain Tennison was unlikely to come to Padstow.

Dennis arrived in a hurry, fearing that the mine owner would run away overnight, and that he might miss out on some of the gratuity, which would be a big loss for both her and Roy's boss......

When Roy heard Dennis's news, he quickly put on his magic pattern costume, and then followed Dennis out of the hotel without hesitation......

"Boss Roy, he doesn't have any family members by his side, just a team of elven guards, twelve half-blood elven warriors."

Dennis walked as he introduced Roy to the mine owner.

Roy nodded slightly.

He took Dennis to the backyard of the inn, where there was a stable where the horses of the guests were kept.

At this time, the groom was holding grass in front of the stable, and was about to mix the soaked beans into the grass, when he saw Roy walking quickly, he stood up and said, "Boss Roy, are you still going out so late?" ”

"Please help me bring the two horses out, it's really a trouble for you so late." With that, Roy shoved the two Kohlers into the groom's hands.

The groom took Roy's money, and the last bit of unhappiness in his heart disappeared, and he hurriedly went into the stable to bring out two white horses for Roy, and helped Roy saddle the two war horses.

Dennis didn't think about how Roy could have two horses in the hotel's stables, and she thought it was nothing strange to Roy......

Roy and Dennis mounted their horses, left the hotel, and ran down the avenue towards the treehouse where the mine owner was hiding.

By the time Dennis and Roy arrived at the treehouse where the mine owner was hiding, it was pitch black, and even the surroundings were lifeless.

There are still a few deep rutted marks in front of the treehouse......

A half-blood elf poked his head out of the bushes, smiled very obscenely, and said to Dennis:

"Boss, they ran out of the city, over there...... There are our people to follow! ”

Dennis followed the direction his companion pointed out and rode after Roy on horseback.

……

The two carriages, one after the other, quickly left the city of Padustow in the night.

They walked along the main road all the way east, and when they got out of the city, the wide, flat avenue became not so easy to walk.

Especially after the rain in recent days, the road overgrown with weeds has become even more muddy.

It wasn't until the carriage drove away from the city of Padustow, and watched the still lit treehouse grow farther and farther out of sight, that the owner of the Carlos mine breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he had escaped from the danger zone again.

Sitting in the carriage, he thought that he was running from place to place like a lost dog, where is the life of a mine owner......

Suddenly, the carriage shook slightly, and then the coachman sitting in front of him pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.

Carlos Mine Owner was slightly nervous in his heart, he had been worried for the past few days, and even his voice was hoarse.

Seeing that the carriage had stopped, he hurriedly pushed the window and peeked out.

"Master, the road ahead is blocked by some branches and debris, I'll clean it up right away......"

So saying, the coachman hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and ran to the front of the road, to remove the branches that lay in front of him.

None of the leaves of these branches wilted, apparently someone had just crossed the road, but there was no movement around.

The owner of the Carlos mine jumped out of the carriage in a panic, first ran to the front of the road to check it, and then immediately discarded the slow-moving carriage and fled the city of Padstow on horseback.

There were only four horses in two carriages.

The carriages of the two carriages carried a total of thirteen half-blood elves, including the owner of the Carlos mine.

The owner of the Carlos Mine rode a horse, and there were only three half-blood elf guards left with him......

The four horses quickly crossed the obstacles in the road and fled all the way to the east......

……

Seeing Roy riding alone on horseback, chasing in the direction where the owner of the Carlos mine had fled, Dennis hurriedly rode his horse after Roy and asked him:

"Boss Roy, do you need help from one of our people?"

Roy shook his head and said, "You guys help me set up a roadblock to keep these two carriages here, that's enough, I'll take care of the rest!" ”

After saying that, he rode a horse and chased after him alone.

Dennis watched Roy disappear into the dark forest road, and became even more curious about Roy.

The night before, she had seen Roy kill the owner of the Avar mine in the glade of Apple Orchard No. 3 with a copper book in his hand, and this time he chased after him alone......

"Dennis, what are we going to do?"

The companion standing next to him asked Dennis.

Dennis hesitated for a moment before saying, "We'll just wait here!" ”

……

Walking into the dark forest, Roy had an extra cloud of holy light above his head.

This divine glimmer of light passed directly through the dense canopy and floated into the air.

More than a dozen huge black shadows silently streaked across the night sky, and a team of assassins appeared above Roy's head, each of them riding on a griffin, and the griffon cavalry carried the team of assassins to quickly catch up with Roy.

Roy didn't bring them to Padstow City because they weren't familiar with Padstow City, so it would certainly be difficult for them to investigate these mine owners in the city, and they were the faces of the Dark Moon Elves, so they could easily be noticed by other elves.

But this time, Deputy Captain Tennison led the assassin team to Padstow City, but he came with twelve griffon cavalry.

……

In the dark night, he rode a horse along the mountain road for more than ten kilometers in one go.

Seeing that the horse under him was covered in horse sweat, the wheezing sound was getting heavier and the pace was getting slower and slower, he knew that the horse could no longer run and needed a break before he could continue his journey.

Instead of pulling the reins, the owner of the Carlos mine let the horses under him stop on the side of the road.

Then he said to the three half-blood elf guards at the time, "Let's rest here for a while......"

The three half-blood elf guards hurriedly jumped off their horses and loosened the saddle buckles attached to their horses so that the four horses could rest.

It was already rare for these four horses to run so far in one go, and there was still a long way to go, and they did not dare to exhaust these horses at once......

Just as the four of them were resting under a tree, the owner of the Carlos mine heard the neighing of horses.

When the three guards got up and ran towards the four horses, the four horses that were supposed to be tied to the tree galloped into the night, and the reins that were tied to the tree were also severed.

The owner of the Carlos mine, who was already suspicious, suddenly turned pale with fright, and he ran towards the mountain on the left side of the road with the only three remaining guards......

Just as he was climbing over this mountain, the three guards who followed him disappeared one after another.

And it was all silent, so frightened that the Carlos mine owner's legs weakened, and he could only run desperately with his last breath.

Keep running forward, run to the mountain, and see a touch of fish belly white on the horizon.

It was just before dawn, and it was almost dawn, and there was no half-blood elf guard behind him, and the owner of the Carlos mine had not seen a single tracker all night.

Just as he ran to the mountain, he saw the back of a man on a large rock.

At this moment, the owner of the Carlos mine was exhausted, his legs were as heavy as lead, and he could no longer walk......

Roy sat on a boulder, with his back to the owner of the Carlos mine, and said to him:

"If you just start a mine in the Nicobar Mountains, there's nothing wrong with that, the Silvermoon Kingdom never restricts that. However, you have violated the laws of the Silvermoon Kingdom by openly trading elven slaves on the Partington plane, and I can only order you to be arrested for your heinous acts of openly mutilating and persecuting half-blood elven slaves and destroying mines. ”

After saying that, Roy turned around, smiled coldly at him, and said:

"Good morning, Carlos Mine Owner."
