Roy just sat on the big rock with a calm face, looking at Carlos Mine Owners like a bereaved dog, and said casually:

"I originally wanted to send you to the trial court in Padesto City, but you still resisted arrest. There is no other way..."

Carlos Mine Owners, who was standing under the boulder, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. He looked at Roy with wide eyes and tried to keep his voice from vibrating. "Resisting arrest? Luo...Boss Roy, don't make such a joke. How can I resist arrest? I am willing to accept the trial in the court..."

But Roy just gave him a faint smile. Before Carlos Mine Owners could finish his defense, a dagger pierced his heart from behind. The Magic Inscription Construct on his body couldn't even form a shield. Carlos Mine Owners saw the tip of the knife emerging from his chest.

His face suddenly fell into a deep despair. He even tried to look back, but when he turned his head halfway, he didn't see the assassin behind him.

At this time, his body was no longer under his control.

Carlos Mine Owners's soul floated out of the body.

Because of the experience of assassinating Avar Mine Owners, Roy immediately used 'purification' on Carlos Mine Owners.

A beam of holy light shines on Carlos Mine Owners's soul floating in the air, and Carlos Mine Owners's soul turns into an elf and flies away...

However, this Carlos Mine Owners did not sell his soul to the devil, and his soul was not demonized after his death.

This purification only allowed Carlos Mine Owners's soul to be washed in the holy light. It would not turn into a vengeful spirit due to the resentment in his heart, nor would it resonate with the surrounding Divine Light.

Since the last time Roy discovered that purifying demons would significantly increase the amount of Holy Light Power in his body, he actually had some expectations about purifying his soul.

He has stayed at the ninth level Priest for half a year. This time Holy Power has grown, which makes him feel that the bottleneck seems to be loosened slightly. The Sacred Tree in his body has also grown a lot, which further strengthens his idea of purifying the devil.

Roy watched the elf transformed from Carlos Mine Owners's soul fly away into the distance, feeling somewhat lost in his heart...

After all, there are only a few elves who are willing to sacrifice their souls to the devil.

Vice Captain Tennyson, who was standing behind the body of Carlos, bent down and pulled out the dagger. He made a gesture to Roy and jumped onto the griffin waiting aside. Griffon Cavalry carried him and flew into the quiet night sky.

Roy simply jumped off the rock. He covered Carlos's face with the parchment with Carlos Mine Owners's head on it, and then used Carlos The black magic-patterned cloak on Mine Owners wrapped his body tightly. One end of the rope was tied to Carlos Mine Owners, and the other end was tied to his saddle. The horse dragged him down the mountain.

Roy walked out of the dense forest on horseback, and a layer of white mist had already risen in the mountains.

Dennis and his two companions were still waiting by the road when they saw Roy riding a horse and dragging a body out of the dense forest. Dennis and his two companions looked at each other silently.

Roy took out a money bag from his body and threw it to Dennis.

"Help me bring him back to Padesto City. Don't forget to send my horse back to the hotel. If there is any other news about Mine Owners, remember to notify me in time..."

After saying that, he rode his horse and walked slowly along the avenue towards Padesto City.

Dennis saw the back of Roy disappearing in the white mist, and his body seemed to be exuding a layer of holy light.

It's not surprising when you think about it. Boss Roy itself is Priest. Priest is very rare on the Elf Continent. Dennis said this to himself in his heart.

In the next two days, Roy let the ten warehouse managers recruited officially put into work.

The main thing is to organize these warehouses.

Not only did they have to clean the warehouse from the inside out, but they also had to move out the useless junk from the fifth warehouse and use a horse-drawn carriage to pull it out of the city and throw it away.

These groceries should have been left by the previous tenant who rented the warehouse. According to the landlord, these groceries have been left in the warehouse for more than four years. They are old furniture, doors and windows that are of no use. If a tree house is built, these groceries may still be used.

Obviously Roy has no intention of building a tree house in Padesto City, so these debris can only be cleared out.

Some cabinets that could still be used were sorted out by several warehouse managers and placed neatly in the corner of the warehouse, forming a small rest area.

Roy has been waiting for Leishande's pack team. Vice Captain Tennyson told him the day before yesterday that the pack team has arrived at the outer suburbs of Padesto City and will arrive at Padesto City within the next two days.

It's just that Roy hasn't seen Leishande yet...

Because he received a generous reward from Roy, Dennis has been actively inquiring about the other Mine Ownerss in the past two days, and even found many family members of Pagisto Plateau and other Mine Ownerss in the city.

However, those Mine Owners family members were not included in Roy's targets this time, so Dennis ignored them.

Following the clue of Carlos Mine Owners, Dennis finally found some clues. A member of the Thieves Guild revealed the news to her. Silver Moon Elf Residential Area in the city has recently had some new faces, and they are all Half-Elf who are very generous.

Dennis quickly came out of the tavern with his men and went to Silver Moon Elf Residential Area to investigate the matter.

To say where Padesto City is the cleanest, neatest and most beautiful, it must be the living area of Silver Moon Elfs. Only Silver Moon Elfs have the strength to lay stone pavements in the forest glades, build patches of flowerbeds, and build fountains and sculptures at the street corners, making the entire living area look like a garden.

The Silver Moon Elf who live here are basically engaged in military and political work in Padesto City. Some work in the Silver Pegasus Legion and some work in Elder Council. It can be said that although more than 90% of the residents in Padesto City are Half-Elf, the real manager of the city is Silver Moon Elf...

Generally, Half-Elf rarely come to this living area. Dennis and his companions also spent money to find a job as a gardener, carrying flower shears and hand saws and sneaking into Silver Moon Elf's living area.

After two days of investigation, Dennis discovered that the remaining Mine Owners who came from the Nikoba Mountain Range were indeed in Padesto City, and were also hiding in Silver Moon Elf Residential Area in the city.

The even scarier thing is that these Mine Ownerss seem to have a relationship with the Silver Moon Elfs of the Silver Pegasus Military Departments, and they have to go out to attend various social dances every night.

Dennis threw the flower scissors on the flatbed truck and leaned against the truck to wipe the sweat from her face with a towel. The afterglow of the evening sun dyed the entire forest golden. There was a carriage parked at the door of a treehouse in the distance. She was sure that there was something inside that treehouse.

The companion bundled the pruned flower branches and loaded them on the flatbed truck, and gave Dennis a look.

Dennis turned to look in the direction indicated by his companion, and saw an officer riding a horse with white feathers on its hooves coming over the stone road.

Behind the officer were four Silver Moon Elf guards riding war horses.

"Commander Helix, Guard Regiment, who is now in charge of Padesto City, is nominally the highest military officer in the city." Dennis put one hand on the branch of the flatbed truck, squinted his eyes and looked at Commander Helix, and said casually.

"Why is he here?"

"I heard that our leader of Guard Regiment brought his lover to Padesto City some time ago. Recently, he has been living in Apple Orchard outside the city." The companion seemed to know the whereabouts of these big shots in the city.

In fact, they, Thieves Guild, rely on various taverns, and usually make a living by selling all kinds of latest news.

Dennis moved his eyes away from Commander Helix and continued to monitor the tree house of Mine Owners opposite. After a while, their team of people will finish their work. The team responsible for night surveillance will come here in another identity to monitor Mine Owners.

Dennis is sure that Mine Owners must live in this tree house, so she will go to the tavern later to provide the information to Boss Roy.

"Dennis, look quickly, Master Commander Helix went to the target's tree house..."

A low cry from his companion made Dennis's heart tremble slightly.

Dennis raised his head and saw Commander Helix dismounting in front of the tree house, handing the reins to the waiter waiting at the door, and then walking into the tree house with four Silver Moon Elf guards.

Just by looking at the action of Commander Helix entering the tree house, you can tell that he definitely didn't come here to catch this Mine Owners, so what else could he do here?

Thinking of this, Dennis felt like the pores all over his body were about to explode! Is there anything else to investigate? If the investigation continues, Thieves Guild in Padesto City may be gone.

The companion took Dennis's arm and said to her tremblingly, "Dennis, I think we should go to Blackwater Swamp to hide for a while!"

"We are leaving tonight, but before we leave, I want to see how many of our Commander Helix masters have come into contact with the Nikoba Mountain Range's Mine Owners..."

Dennis's pupils were constricted, looking like a civet cat with exploded fur.

Lord Alvis originally sold slaves to meet the needs of Mine Owners people on Pagisto Plateau...

Now Commander Helix seems to be on the same path as Lord Alvis, but standing behind him is Silver Moon Elf Kingdom's most elite Silver Pegasus Legion.

Dennis felt cold all over. It was already time for the gardeners to finish their work for the day, and Dennis and his companions were about to evacuate from here.

Commander Helix did not stay in the tree house for too long. When he came out, he was followed by four Half-Elf businessmen.

Several people got into a carriage parked at the door of the tree house, and then the carriage slowly drove away from the tree house.

Dennis They also had to push a flatbed truck loaded with branches and leave from the other direction.

The two night watchmen carrying Carbide Lamp passed by Dennis. Dennis put a small note into the hand of one of the night watchmen and pushed the flatbed truck away...

These two night watchmen are the night investigation team arranged by Dennis in the tree house.

After Dennis left Silver Moon Elf Residential Area, he did not go to the pub to meet Roy because she didn't know what to say after meeting.

Moreover, the night investigation team here has not yet made a final confirmation.

If those four Mine Owners were caught by Padesto City Guard Squad tonight and escorted to Elven Council of Elders's trial, then Dennis could only say with shame that he had misunderstood them.

Dennis comics waited with anticipation and anxiety until midnight before receiving the news from the night investigation team: these four Mine Owners actually followed Commander Helix to visit Chief Commander Lucius, and had a pleasant conversation with Chief Commander Lucius. At the end of the dance, Chief Commander Lucius even sent the four Mine Owners to the gate of the manor.

"Let's go! We can't wait for a moment. We are leaving Padesto City. We will decide where to go on the way..." Dennis said decisively.

The companions on the side also said quickly, "I'm going to ask them to come back. Let's go together!"

Later, Dennis and his companions packed their luggage at their residence...

There are many guests in the tavern, and now it seems that the whole topic in the tavern is talking about the two mixed-blood elf mine owners who died in Padstow City in the past two days.

It is said that these two Mine Owners zai Pagisto Plateau had done many evil things before they were caught up and killed by their enemies at this time. Moreover, the killing was not the end, and the identities of these two Mine Ownerss were also revealed.

Thinking of these Mine Owners doing all kinds of evil, and finally good and evil will be rewarded, the drinkers in the tavern burst into cheers. In this atmosphere, it is inevitable to drink two more drinks.

The bartender was just wiping glasses silently at the bar at this time, and he didn't want to get close to Roy.

Ever since he heard about Roy's behavior from Dennis, he no longer wanted to have contact with Roy.

Roy waited in the tavern for half the night. Originally, Dennis had agreed with him that the two of them would meet in the tavern tonight.

She investigated the information of Mine Owners and was making the final confirmation, but this time she missed the appointment.

Roy waited until it was completely dark and did not see Dennis, then he paid for the drinks and left the tavern.

When I returned to the hotel, I didn't see Dennis.

Early the next morning, when Roy was preparing to go out, he found a letter on the floor at the door:

'Dear Boss Roy: When you read this letter, my friends and I have already embarked on an adventure trip to Blackwater Swamp, or to Sun Island Bay to see the sea.

I have already investigated the matters you entrusted me to investigate.

The following are the residential addresses and other information of the other four Mine Owners in Padesto City:...

Of course, I would like to give you a free piece of information at the end. These Mine Owners and Commander Helix have close contacts, and they also participated in the dance held by Mr. Chief Commander Lucius last night. The details of the dance are unknown! '

He held the note tightly in his hand and then tore it into pieces.

Roy adjusts his breathing and slows down his breathing as much as possible...

How could he not have imagined now that Dennis hid out after hearing this news.
