Alvis's End 2

There was an indescribable desolation in the Padesto City; elves were almost nowhere to be seen on the wide streets.

Occasionally, a legion of the Silver Pegasus Legion Elf Warrior would pass by; their main duty was to maintain order in the city.

The Guard Squad in Padesto City are currently under the control of the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion, and three investigators are interrogating these Elven Guard, mainly focusing on the slave trade in Padesto City.

This is the Padesto City, and this area of treehouses has been completely cordoned off by the military.

The carriage carrying Roy and his party stopped in front of a group of treehouses...

Roy stepped down from the carriage first, followed by Klayr. Looking at the treehouses that resembled bird nests in the trees above, Roy whispered to Roy, "Roy, why are there treehouses like these everywhere here?"

"Otherwise what? Where do you think they would live if they didn't have these treehouses?" Roy asked in a low voice.

"Why not carve out some space inside the tree, so it's private and comfortable..." Klayr said matter-of-factly.

"Perhaps there will be more in the future, but right now there are so many treehouses built in the canopy of Padesto City that they are probably the most distinctive feature of Padesto City," Roy replied.

"It's really unique, and staying in a wooden cabin feels almost like being on a boat. The only difference is that on a boat you can hear the sound of the waves, but here it's just the rustling of the leaves, which is making it a little hard for me to sleep..." Miss Tiffany whispered behind her.

She speaks Elven Language very well now, even with a slight Castleton City accent.

Her Disguise Art was very effective; unless you looked closely, it would be extremely difficult to tell that she wasn't an elf...

"The Pattington Plane is a resource-rich plane, with vast jungles and abundant Magic Herbs and beasts. However, it has rarely expanded outwards in recent years. To be honest... it's because the governor of the Padesto City is unambitious and even tolerates slave trading. He's rotten to the core."

Miss Christine couldn't help but complain from the side.

The group didn't have to wait long before Officer Cardiff led an elven army into the Residential Area.

The Elf Warrior dispersed and began searching every single tree. Most of the treehouses had become empty, with only a few Half-Elf unwilling to leave. The Elf Warrior then escorted them out of their treehouses, and the elves gathered in the forest clearing to await the screening.

The elves walked past Roy in a line, with a scribe behind them recording each elf's information, including name, height, gender, lineage, etc.

The screening process went smoothly because it was organized and implemented by the military, and there were almost no protesting elves.

They would screen a residential area every day for almost half a month.

Although they didn't find Benjamin and Abbott, the Half-Elf people who were still living in the city gradually felt more at ease.

Because no Half-Elf were purged for their involvement with the Rebel Army, the military's daily routine consisted of conducting a census of the elven population in Padesto City, and they hadn't even heard of anyone being beaten or verbally abused.

During this time, some Half-Elf elves who could no longer live in the jungle gradually returned to Padesto City.

As the second Investigation Team delved deeper into the matter, the slave trade in Padesto City gradually came to light, revealing that most of the slave trading gangs were in cahoots with the officials of Padesto City.

Among them, Lord Alvis's slave trading group was the largest, and... it was after Baron Alvis came to the Pattington Plane that, in just over two hundred years, he transformed from a penniless Silver Moon Nobles baron into a lord.

Of course, his title remained unchanged, but he became the wealthiest lord in Padesto City, controlling three of the best orchards around Padesto City and possessing vast territories north of Padesto City. He even built a large Lord's Army.

Especially this year, Baron Alvis bought all the land south of Padesto City...

No elf knew where his money came from. Although he owned two Trading Company, the revenue from those two companies was not enough to support him in purchasing such a large territory.

In the third week after Roy arrived in Padesto City, the Seventeenth Silver Pegasus Legion formally arrested Baron Alvis on charges of slave trading.

As for the trial of Elven Nobles, especially the highest lord of the Pattington Plane, the court in Castleton City is not qualified to try Baron Alvis. He will be sent to the Silvermoon Elven Council of Elders in Buenos City to be tried by the court there.

The large-scale screening operation in Padesto City was interrupted on the day Lord Alvis was arrested.

Roy was taking a rare day off, but Miss Christine suggested that they go to the Teleportation Portal in the Central Square to watch the excitement. Sabrina and Miss Tiffany both agreed with the suggestion. Although Roy didn't really want to go out, they were a team now, so he had no choice but to go to the Central Square with everyone.

Woods has been in a bad mood lately because he has been in Padesto City for more than half a month Woods still hasn't been able to see the elder who participated in the rebels.

"It'll be fine in a few days..." Roy comforted Woods as they walked.

Miss Tiffany and Miss Christine walked at the front, and the group had already arrived at the Central Square of Padesto City.

The Central Square was surrounded by many Half-Elf, and some Silver Moon Elf were watching from the corners...

Baron Alvis sat in a black iron carriage. The carriage windows had no glass, but were made of iron bars as thick as fingers.

The black iron carriage was pulled by four strong warhorses, and its wheels made a creaking sound as they rolled on the stone pavement.

Alvis sat wearily in the carriage, dressed in aristocratic attire, still maintaining an air of nobility. He leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed.

I don't know who shouted it out:

"Come and see! He's a Slave Traders..."

"Alvis was a Slave Traders..."

"Kill this Slave Traders..."

The surrounding Half-Elf became increasingly agitated, shouting and cursing, some even throwing apples at Baron Alvis...

The bright red apples crashed onto the iron railings of the carriage, instantly splattering juice everywhere. Baron Alvis kept his eyes tightly shut, not flinching or even glancing out the window as the apple juice splashed on his face.

The carriage drove towards the Teleportation Portal in the central square; the distance was very short.

When the carriage arrived in front of the Teleportation Portal, it slowed down. Baron Alvis was inside, finally opened his eyes. He glanced at the sky of the Pattington Plane, then at the towering Teleportation Portal, and then ignored everything else, sitting up straight...

The carriage was designed to be slightly narrow, just enough to enter the Teleportation Portal and slowly disappear into the vortex.

As Baron Alvis's carriage disappeared, the Half-Elf around the square cheered as if they had won a war.

At this moment, an officer from the Silver Pegasus Legion suddenly stepped forward. He walked to a Wooden Box and shouted loudly to the cheering Half-Elf around the square, "Fellow Half-Elf, the destroyer of peace in the Pattington Plane, the mastermind behind the Padesto Slave Traders, Baron Alvis, who has seized territories from the plane, has been sent to the Buenos Tribunal to be tried by the High Elder Council. Therefore, we will now designate all the territories seized by Baron Alvis as public areas. This area will be open to all elves. Wherever you build treehouses, hunt, or gather, it will be under the protection of the Padesto Elven Council of Elders..."

"I hope that Padesto City can return to its former prosperity as soon as possible!"

"For the beautiful and prosperous Padesto City..."

The Half-Elf around them also shouted loudly:

"For the beautiful and prosperous Padesto City..."
