The winter in Padesto City is not cold. There are a lot of rainy days in this season. The drizzle falls on the streets and cleans the trees in the entire city.

There are countless tree houses hidden among the dark green leaves...

Roy clearly remembers that the most common thing in this city is tree houses.

The entire city is actually built on a gentle slope. This hillside is mostly covered with towering ancient trees. Half-Elf does not have the ability to open up new spaces inside the ancient trees, so it follows the ancient tradition and builds some exquisite tree houses on the crowns of the ancient trees.

These treehouses range from large to small. The large treehouses are like a villa hidden in the canopy, while the small treehouses are like the fruits on the canopy...

The roads in the forest extend in all directions. It can be said that the road in Padesto City is the smoothest. The only drawback is that it is not very straight.

In the forest clearing under the trees, you can always see flower beds made of stones. These flower beds are full of flowers of various colors, and the drizzle that falls one after another does not make these flowers wither.

There are also some pools in the flower beds, and occasionally you can see artistic statues carved by elven artists.

Woodland after woodland is divided into distinct sections by a wide road. This city is the largest gathering place for Half-Elf. However, in recent years, due to the Silver Pegasus Legion's four-year ban on Pattington Plane, the originally bustling commercial streets have now closed down one after another.

Almost all Trading Company that are still open are related to the military.

Half-Elf's living conditions are obviously not as good as before, but the chaos here has been completely eliminated.

When Lord Alvis governed Padesto City, although the city's economy was prosperous, the entire city was in great chaos. The Half-Elf people at the bottom usually lived in hesitation.

The current urban economy has declined significantly, but the lives of Half-Elf people have stabilized.

This is one of the reasons why Silver Pegasus Legion banned Plane Teleportation Portal for nearly four years, and the Half-Elfs on Pattington Plane never protested.

Life resources here are abundant, and Half-Elf leads a slow-paced life. Even if it rains, Roy can still see Half-Elf people holding big umbrellas, sitting on the street watching the rain and drinking tea.

Half-Elf's demand for food is relatively simple. An expensive Tairo Fruit can fill his stomach, and a piece of cheap Breadfruit can also be eaten happily.

Many places where orange tree plaques are hung are some daily Grocery Store.

Adventure Group team walked into Padesto City.

Far away from the economically backward Pagisto Plateau, we suddenly came to Padesto City, and everyone was somewhat excited.

Even the drizzle did not extinguish the urge of a few friends to stroll along the long street.

The first thing Roy did when he arrived at Padesto City was to report to the Silver Pegasus Military Department.

As an officer of the Silver Pegasus Legion, Roy needs to register at the military headquarters when he comes to Padesto City.

Silver Pegasus Military Department is not far from Central Square. Roy climbed up a giant tree along the rotating wooden ladder.

The building on this big tree is Silver Pegasus Legion's military headquarters. Pushing open the wooden door of the reception room on the first floor, Roy walked into the room alone.

A clerk was sitting in the reception room. He looked up at Roy's young and human-like face. He took the officer's certificate from Roy's hand and looked at it for a long time. No matter what, he couldn't believe that the Half-Elf in front of him turned out to be Boss Roy on Pagisto Plateau.

Fortunately, this is not the first time for Roy to come to Padesto City Silver Pegasus Military Department. As the consul of Rampart Town, Roy comes to Roy every year. I have to come to the military headquarters at least twice, mainly to pick up people from the military headquarters. Many restless Half-Elf committed crimes in Rampart Town, and almost all of them were taken back to Padesto City to receive punishment.

Roy must come to the military headquarters in person to take them back to Padesto City.

Those Elf Warrior and Roy in Guard Regiment are very familiar, but unfortunately those Elf Warrior are not responsible for reception work.

At present, the battle situation on Pagisto Plateau has been transmitted to Padesto City.

The elves living in the city all know that there are many Half-Elfs living on Pagisto Plateau, and these Half-Elfs have been tortured by Highland Slaverss. Now, whether they are elderly people or young children playing in the water on the streets, they all seem to know something about Highland Slaverss.

The secretary probably didn't feel too embarrassed to ask about Roy's life on the plateau, and just watched Roy leave with admiration on his face.

After reporting to the military headquarters, Roy got another Teleportation Portal pass. The elf clerk here was very familiar with Roy. During the process of handling Teleportation Pass, he asked several questions in succession.

Roy got the Teleportation Portal pass and left Silver Pegasus Military Department.

He didn't tell anyone this time that he returned to Padesto City to investigate the group of Mine Owners who ran back from the Nikoba Mountain Range.

Silver Pegasus Military Department is very close to Central Square. Roy did not intend for Moira, Sabrina, Woods and Miss Tiffany to stay one night at Padesto City. He did not even go to the hotel.

After changing the Teleportation Portal pass, we came to Teleportation Portal of Central Square.

There is still a large amount of military equipment hoarded in this square, and it looks like it is ready to be shipped out Pattington Plane.

When I saw Teleportation Portal in the square, there happened to be a group of Silver Moon Elf carrying Wooden Box in line and walked in...

Send your friends to the Teleportation Portal entrance, give the Teleportation Portal pass to the Teleportation Portal guard, and the Teleportation Portal guard immediately gets out of the way.

Roy hugged his friends one by one and said goodbye.

"Take care along the way!"

Miss Tiffany has a different view on the sentence Roy. In her opinion, wearing this Teleportation Portal is like going home.

Moira was a little reluctant to leave, but he could only follow his sister Sabrina obediently.

When Roy and Sabrina hugged, they could clearly feel the strong sense of oppression on her chest. Sabrina was not wearing heavy armor, only a robe and a hooded cloak. The rain kept falling on the stone slabs of the square along with the cloak.

"Greetings to Ms. Jillian for me, and saying I'm very sorry!" Roy whispered to Sabrina.

"Okay, I will tell her the situation here, I believe she will understand!" Sabrina responded with a smile.

At the same time, Roy also handed a letter written to Ms. Belinda to Moira, hugged her and said, "If Ms. Belinda comes back from Darnassus's travels, help me teach her this letter!"

"I know..."

Moira took the letter handed over by Roy, and the depressed mood in his heart felt a little better.

Watching friends jump in line and walk into Teleportation Portal, and finally the figure disappears in Teleportation Portal, Roy then turns around and leaves Central Square.

Red Maple Leaf Tavern.

In cities where elves live, taverns named after leaves are very common.

Roy sent his friends back to Pattington Island, and then directly found a tavern near Central Square. Pushing open the half-hidden wooden door in the tavern, Roy saw several guests sitting in the tavern lobby, and a strong smell of alcohol rushed into his nose.

This kind of tavern is usually the stronghold of the Thieves Guild. No matter what kind of news it is, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can always get some clues in the tavern.

A handsome Half-Elf bartender stood behind the bar, cleaning glasses carefully.

In front of Roy was a glass of Orange Wine with the lightest alcohol taste. He came to the tavern and although he ordered a glass of wine, he never spoke.

A mixed-race female elf wearing tight-fitting leather armor came close to Roy. She had a strong scent of perfume on her body, her eyes were sharp, her sexy lips came to Roy's ear and she blew a breath. She said in a provocative tone, "Humans? It's hard to see humans on Pattington Plane. For this reason, why don't you treat me to a drink?"

Roy pushed the two Kole to the bartender, signaling him to pour a glass of wine for the mixed-race female elf.

The bartender pushed over a glass of Orange Wine and stopped steadily in front of the mixed-race female elf.

"My name is Half-Elf."

Listening to Roy speaking fluently and pure Elven Language, the eyes of the mixed-race female elf changed slightly.

She no longer squirmed, but sat upright.

The neckline of her tight-fitting leather armor was very low, and the groove was obviously squeezed out. Her skin was not fair, but it was very shiny.

Roy looked away from her collar and asked the mixed-race female elf, "Do you often drink here?"

The mixed-race female elf took a sip of the lightly sweet Orange Wine and responded, "Yes, there is no Orange Wine that can match the one here, it is cheap and delicious."

Roy smiled and said nothing else.

He took out a pile of Kole from the money pocket at his waist, about thirty pieces in total, and then pushed them all to the bartender.

"I'd like to get some news. Is there any reliable elf that I can introduce to you?"

The bartender lowered his head, left two Koles from the pile of Koles, and passed the rest to the mixed-race female elf next to Roy. He pointed at the mixed-race female elf and said to Roy, "If you want to find out any information, just ask her. She has very good information!"

While discussing business, the mixed-race female elf sat up straight, and the frivolous look on her face disappeared immediately.

She had a disappointed expression on her face, took a sip of Orange Wine, and then asked Roy: "Tell me, what news do you want to know?"

Roy hesitated for a moment, then said:

"I want to ask about some of the rich new faces who have come to Padesto City in the past two weeks."

The voices of the two people talking were very low. Roy estimated that even the bartender might not be able to hear clearly what he just said.

The mixed-race female elf's eyes tightened, and then she took a serious look at Roy and asked, "Are you a Treasure Hunter?"

"You can think like this, or you can think that I am a Priest or Mine Owners on Pagisto Plateau, it doesn't matter!" Roy said casually.

Half-Elf The female elf didn't understand what Roy meant. She took another sip of Orange Wine. He felt that Roy was a hunter who specialized in robbing rich people, so he had to sell this kind of fat sheep news at a higher price. "One piece of news Magic Crystal Stone..."

Roy didn't even think about it and agreed decisively:

"Okay, but the news you give me must be worth the money. This is a deposit. I will come here and sit here again at this time tomorrow night."

The mixed-race female elf was stunned on the spot, confused as to what Roy wanted.

Roy dropped one Magic Crystal Stone, drank the last bit of Orange Wine in the cup, turned around and left the tavern.

When the mixed-blood female elf chased her out, Roy had already walked away in the rain.

The mixed-race female elf held the Magic Crystal Stone in her hand, walked back to the tavern, and sat down in front of the bar.

"This guy is quite generous, and he doesn't worry at all that I will steal his money. He doesn't even say much. His goal is very clear, which is the rich people among the outsiders." The mixed-race female elf Dennis took the initiative to speak.

The bartender wiped the wine glass carefully and said:

"Dennis, do you think the Magic Crystal Stone in the hands of this Half-Elf... will be thrown away in vain?"

"You mean..." The mixed-race female elf's eyes widened.

The bartender put the Magic Crystal Stone into the wine glass, then gently shook the wine glass, and the Magic Crystal Stone made a tinkling sound in the wine glass.

"He dares to throw Magic Crystal Stone out like this, definitely because he is not worried about you hacking him. Magic Crystal Stone. You can check it out. Half-Elf like this in Padesto City cannot be said to be unique, and you can definitely count them on one hand. You can easily find out his details with your ability."

The mixed-race female elf Dennis licked her lips with her tongue and kept nodding.

Roy spent one night in the hotel.

The next day, Roy planned to rent a larger warehouse in Padesto City.

Since Padesto City's Teleportation Portal is in a banned state, Padesto City's commercial trade has been sluggish in recent years. Not only are the shops on the streets closed, but a large number of warehouses in the city have also been abandoned and out of use. Therefore, the rental price of warehouses in the city is simply a bargain.

He didn't have time to wander around Padesto City. After asking about a house rental trading firm, he hurried to visit in the morning.

After walking into this house rental trading firm, Roy saw a Half-Elf waitress standing behind the front desk, with a sweet appearance and a friendly smile.

"What do you need?"

"Leasing a warehouse, if the price is right, it's not impossible to buy it..." Roy said.

"Please come with me!"

The elf waitress was delighted and glanced at her companion. The companion saw that Roy was not an elf and did not argue with her.

The waitress Half-Elf Roy next to her said this, with a look of regret on her face.

Roy ignored this. He followed the waitress Half-Elf to a small table by the window and sat down.

The elf waitress came quickly with a thick information book, and then ran to bring Roy a cup of fruit tea. Then she sat opposite Roy and asked very patiently:

"Guest, how much space do you need for the warehouse? What are the area requirements? What is the approximate budget?"

"I don't know how big the warehouse here is. How is it usually calculated?" Roy asked.

The elf waitress checked the brochure and responded seriously, "The larger warehouse has a space of about 1,200 square meters, close to Central Square, and the monthly rent is five hundred Kole. There are also smaller warehouses with only about a hundred square meters of space, close to the edge of Padesto City, and the monthly rent is only forty-five Kole. The rents of other warehouses are almost in this range."
