Chapter 509 510. Investigators from the city

A three-masted sailing ship slowly descended from the clouds, and all the sails on the ship fell to the crossbar. Standing on the bow of the ship was a group of mixed-blood elf warriors who were constantly looking towards the ground. When they saw that the elves noticed them, they used their strength with exaggerated expressions. Son waved.

This three-masted sailboat is constantly approaching the plateau city.

In today's plateau city, not only the city walls have been repaired, but also the city hall, which is the highest point of the mound, symbolizing the center of power, has also been built.

Thirty-two Roman columns more than 20 meters high make this city hall magnificent...

The hillside is crowded with row upon row of buildings. The biggest difference between this plateau city and other elven cities is that it is not a forest city, which does not conform to the aesthetics of the elves.

Whether it is the city of Darnassus built by the wood elves on the World Tree, or the city of Enochous by the dark moon elves in the Evernight Forest, or the city of Buenos where the silver moon elves live in the center of the elven continent. , the most obvious sign of these cities is that they are all forest cities.

In fact, not only these three elven capitals, but other elven cities are also built in the forest.

The biggest fundamental of an elf city is that there must be a tree of life in the center of the city.

In fact, there are none of these plateau cities. This place was originally a bare mound.

Now a city is rising here. The street trees on both sides of the street have been transplanted. After several months of careful cultivation, they have begun to sprout rapidly.

…

Countless headhunter prisoners of war carrying bricks and stones on their backs raised their heads and looked up at the sky, with horror in their eyes.

A behemoth floated silently in the mid-air, with half-blood elf warriors standing on the bow, like a huge shadow that shrouded the hearts of every plateau headhunter.

Originally, there were still some headhunter prisoners who were eager to struggle for freedom. Now, suddenly, there was a mountain with an almost invisible peak pressing behind them, which immediately made countless headhunters break out in cold sweat.

By the time the three-masted sailing ship docked at the edge of the city wall, a group of mixed-blood elf warriors disembarked carrying boxes of supplies. Under the scolding of some overseers, these headhunter prisoners of war slowly looked back and continued to carry heavy loads. Hollow bricks, one after another, go up the hillside.

During the recent period, there were only about 7,000 mine guards stationed in the plateau city.

There are more than 13,000 Headhunter prisoners of war serving in the Plateau City, almost twice as many as the mine guards.

Although these headhunters are unarmed, in recent times, countless headhunters have seen the guarding strength of the plateau city and have had the idea of ​​​​escape.

Some headhunters are already making escape plans in private, and some bold headhunters even want to capture the plateau city.

But when they saw the behemoth above their heads, all their unrealistic thoughts seemed to disappear in an instant...

The existence of such a three-masted sailing ship in the sky means that the mixed-blood elf warriors can make themselves invincible when fighting.

As long as a group of elven archers stand on the boat and throw rain of arrows to the ground, these unarmed and unarmored headhunters will be unable to resist!

…

The elves in the caravan stood up one after another and were surprised to see the three-masted sailing ship flying quietly overhead.

"Sailboats that can fly in the sky... I heard that this kind of magic sailboat is very common in Roland Continent, but it is very rare in our Elf Continent." The person in charge of the caravan stood up and explained to everyone.

A mixed-blood elf couldn't help but ask: "What is this magic sailing ship doing in the plateau city?"

The person in charge of the caravan turned a little ugly and couldn't help but say:

"It's probably to open up the trade route between Padstow Plateau and Padstow City. In the future, business groups like ours... will have an increasingly difficult time!"

A group of mixed-blood elven employees in the business group had bitter expressions, and they were all worried about the future.

The person in charge of the caravan added: "But there is no need to worry too much. The operating cost of such a magic sailboat must be very high, and it will always give us caravans some room to survive..."

Although he comforted the other elves in this way, his brows never relaxed...

Several investigators sat by the river to rest. They disguised themselves as Silver Moon Elf merchants and followed the caravan all the way to this plateau city. They also took the opportunity to inquire a lot about 'Boss Roy' on the way. .

It has to be said that Boss Roy has a very high reputation among mixed elves.

Almost every mixed-blood elf seems to know Boss Roy on the Pagisto Plateau and knows that he controls the mines on the Pagisto Plateau.

What the investigators didn't expect was that although Roy was a half-elf, the mixed-blood elves also spoke very highly of this boss Roy, saying that he came to the Pagisto Plateau just to save the mixed-blood elves here from the dire straits. Delivered from suffering.

Almost every mixed-blood elf can tell some stories about Boss Roy on the plateau.

The business group usually travels all over the country and has collected many such rumors.

It is said that before the Silver Pegasus Legion came to the Pagisto Plateau, the headhunters on the plateau, instigated by the mine owners, began to capture mixed elves throughout the Pagisto Plateau. Not only that, the headhunters also continued to destroy Elf villages continue to squeeze the living space of mixed elves.

At that time, the Silver Pegasus Army swept across the entire Pagisto Plateau like a flash of lightning, and even fought all the way to the land of the ancestors of Gazan in the north of the plateau.

The half-blood elves thought that their hard days on the plateau were over, and from then on, they could live peacefully on the plateau.

But no one expected that the Silver Pegasus Army would suddenly disappear from the Pagisto Plateau overnight.

At this time, the real suffering had just begun for the half-blood elves on the plateau. The plateau headhunters made a comeback on the Pagisto Plateau, almost retaliating against the half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau.

It was at this time that Boss Roy, who was in charge of the mine, received an order from the Silver Pegasus Military Department to organize a mine guard team on the Pagisto Plateau. Originally, this mine guard team was only guarding several gem mines in the southern part of the plateau. Later, as Boss Roy recovered the mithril mines in the Sudasso Mountains and the black iron mines in the Gaxi Mountains, he fought several battles with the headhunters in the process.

Finally, in the southern part of the Jiaxi Mountains, the headhunters were blocked from moving south.

Then, in just over half a year, the entire Pagisto Plateau was completely occupied.

The number of half-elf miners rescued exceeded 20,000...

Listening to the people in the caravan talking about such a young half-elf was like talking about a legendary figure.

The Silver Moon Elf Investigators naturally didn't want to hear this. They waited until the caravan leader finished talking about Boss Roy's glorious deeds before they couldn't help asking:

"... I heard that Boss Roy hated those mine owners so much that he often killed some mine owners for no reason when he recaptured the mines?"

The caravan leader was slightly startled, and his eyes fell on the three Silver Moon Elf merchants again, and his eyes became somewhat complicated.

"Those mine owners are a group of slave traders. They colluded with headhunters to persecute the half-blood elves on the plateau. It's not unreasonable for Boss Roy to hate them. But if you say that Boss Roy harmed the mine owners, how could such a thing happen?"

"In fact, those mine owners were almost captured when the Silver Pegasus Corps first rushed into the Padstow Plateau. Most of the mine owners were escorted to the court in Padstow City. I heard that some of them fled for fear of crime. I don't know much about them..."

After the head of the caravan said this, he hesitated for a moment before saying:

"The plateau city is ahead. You have been with our caravan all the way here. Now it's time to separate!"

The three investigators looked at the head of the caravan and looked at each other. Since they couldn't ask the caravan, they also wanted to go into the city to take a look.

In fact, it's best to be able to blend in with the caravan, at least it won't attract too much attention.

But the person in charge had said so much, and the three investigators had no choice but to separate from the caravan and walk into the plateau city alone...

The caravan leader stared at the three Silver Moon Elf merchants entering the plateau city, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he told the half-blood elf employees in the caravan: "Let's pack up and get ready to go into the city!"

...

On both sides of the clean street are two rows of houses made of hollow bricks, arranged neatly and in a uniform style.

The street is built on a gently sloping mound, with several main roads leading vertically to the top of the mound. There are steps every few sections of the road. This main road is only suitable for pedestrians, and carriages have to go through the winding streets around the mound.

Some headhunter prisoners pulled a flatbed truck full of hollow bricks to the construction site.

The three Silver Moon Elf investigators dressed as merchants followed these headhunter prisoners into the plateau city, which was surrounded by walls and square buildings. There were few green trees and shrubs in the city. For several Silver Moon elves, this place was too depressing, and it was full of dust everywhere.

The investigators could only take out white silk to cover their mouths and noses, standing in the shade of the street and moving slowly into the city.

They saw the free market near the edge of the city wall, but that area was even more chaotic, with people surging in the market, and some merchants spread their stalls on the ground. The investigators wanted to walk around the market, but they stopped immediately when they saw a row of bloody cow legs hanging on the edge of the market.

The market here actually sells fresh meat, and the three investigators almost had a layer of ice on their faces.

‘Why are they still killing here? ’

The investigators looked at each other in bewilderment.

‘Do the half-blood elves here still eat animal meat? ’

Then, they finally saw some headhunter prisoners with iron chains on their feet, who could actually appear in the market, and they also took out a stack of Kohler from their pockets and bought a thick cow leg very happily.

‘Headhunter prisoners can actually enter and leave the market freely here? ’

They stood at the crossroads of the city, looking at everything around them, and always felt that everything was so new.

Seeing some half-blood elves looking over at them, the three investigators immediately retreated to the corner of the street and stopped at a place with few pedestrians.

Looking at the magic airship parked at the edge of the city wall, one of the investigators couldn't help but complain:

"He actually built a magic airship here. This shameless half-elf probably doesn't understand the history of elves. How can he bring goblin culture to the elf world!"

"Hey, hey, hey... We are here to investigate the accidental death of Abiel. Everything here is simply contrary to the elf culture. Let's not worry about the magic airship or these things in the city for the time being. Our task now is to Investigate the mission clearly."

Another investigator immediately reminded him.

"That's right, that magic airship is not within our scope of responsibilities. We should investigate the cause of Abiel's death first!" The third investigator quickly agreed.

"Nearly all the mixed-blood elves in the city are soldiers from the mine guard group. We are easily noticed wherever we go, so... what should we do?"

"Then ask around to see if there are any elven slaves in the city who have returned from the Nicobar Mountains. I guess there must be some elves who have escaped from the Nicobar Mountains. We need to find out the truth from their mouths."

"I don't think those mixed-blood elf slaves will necessarily tell the truth. We need to expand the scope of the investigation a little bit."

"I heard that there were many family members of the mine owners who stayed on the Pagisto Plateau. As long as we find these elves, we can find the answer closest to the truth from their mouths."

"Yes, we can inquire."

"..."

…

The city wall was close to an arrow tower next to the magic airship. Roy and Kaka stood next to the wall, watching the three Silver Moon elves hiding in the street outside the market. Although they were dressed as businessmen, they stood There, it didn't look like a few businessmen at all.

"Roy, what on earth are the three of them talking about secretly over there?" Kaka put one hand on the wall and looked down.

"Who knows!"

Roy watched the supplies on the magic airship being transported under the city wall and said casually.

He saw a mixed-blood elf warrior trying to move the boxes full of arrow clusters off the deck, and quickly stopped him:

"Hey, don't move those boxes. Those are going to be transported to Sun Island..."

Mu Lin wore a standard armor and slowly walked to Roy and Kaka:

"What should I do? Otherwise, I will step in and find a way to drive them out of the city?"

Roy then cast his gaze on the streets below the city, with an intriguing smile on his face and said:

"Let them wander around the city. Since they are here to investigate the cause of the death of Abiel mine owner, they must find something to be satisfied..."

Kaka and Mulin didn't understand what Roy was going to do.

But since he said that, he didn't say anything else...
