Commander Helix strode quickly down the top-floor corridor to Chief Commander Lucius's office. He straightened up, calmed his rapid breathing, and knocked on the door. Hearing a response from inside, Commander Helix pushed open the door and stepped into the room.

Chief Commander Lucius frowned, and said with some displeasure:

"Helix, what exactly happened in the assassination attempt that occurred in the park last night?"

The Silver Moon Elf residential area has always been considered the safest area in Padesto City. This morning, two members of the Elven Council of Elders questioned him about the assassination attempt last night, which made Chief Commander Lucius very unhappy. After all, he was only the Chief of the Legion's Logistics Department, mainly responsible for the overall allocation and procurement of the Legion's military supplies.

Chief Commander Lucius rarely gets involved in matters of public order.

Commander Helix immediately replied:

"I only received the news this morning. I estimate that some assassins who ran down from the Pagisto Plateau killed two mine owners. I have buried the bodies of the two Mine Owners and left the rest to the court."

Chief Commander Lucius was very satisfied with the way Commander Helix handled the situation.

It would be good to pass the problem on to the Elven Council of Elders.

However, Chief Commander Lucius immediately realized something and felt uneasy. He quickly asked, "Two Mine Owners have died? Mine Owners from the Pagisto Plateau?"

"They are two of the four Mine Owners you met at the ball the night before last, Seagonis and Agalia." Commander Helix explained as he took a box from his Magic Pouch and placed it directly in front of Chief Commander Lucius.

Commander Helix opened the box, and the moment he lifted the lid, the colorful Magic Crystal Stone inside immediately emitted a shimmering light.

These Magic Crystal Stone Magic Crystal Stone are of various types, with wind and earth attributes being the most common.

A large box full of Magic Crystal Stone immediately attracted his full attention.

Chief Commander Lucius was still thinking about how to sever ties with the four Mine Owners.

He pursed his lips and said, "Did those Mine Owners send this box of Magic Crystal Stone over?"

"This is the construction and maintenance fee for the Teleportation Portal paid by the owners of the Mine Owner Yarman and Mine Owner Dalias," said Commander Helix.

After some internal struggle, Chief Commander Lucius finally made up his mind and instructed Commander Helix, "Go and send the two of them to Pattington Island by noon. Otherwise, if something happens to them, we might be implicated."

"Understood, Chief Commander Lucius, I'll take care of it right away."

Hearing Chief Commander Lucius say this, Commander Helix finally felt relieved.

Without making a sound, he pushed the entire box of Magic Crystal Stone under Chief Commander Lucius's desk.

Chief Commander Lucius sat in his chair and said to Commander Helix with a friendly expression, "Helix, this matter must be handled with care. Not only must we send them to Pattington Island, but we must also find a ship to take them out of the port. I don't want them to expose their identities on Pattington Island."

"I will personally lead the team to handle this matter," Commander Helix promised.

"No mistakes can be made, get them out of here quickly..."

Chief Commander Lucius gave the order.

To be honest, he didn't want to pay any attention to these troublesome Mine Owners, but seeing the box full of Magic Crystal Stone under the table made him feel better.

As the Chief of Logistics Department for the Silver Pegasus Legion, Lucius was assigned to the Pattington Plane by the legion's high command, which in itself felt like a marginalization.

Lucius knew he couldn't be re-elected as Chief of Staff. Being moved to the Pattington Plane was a way to allow him to step down gracefully. Actually, it wasn't so bad. The climate in Padesto City was pleasant, and he would occasionally lie in his wicker chair in his office, basking in the sun through the window. Such days were quite comfortable.

Now that they've even received such a large sum of Magic Crystal Stone, Chief Commander Lucius feels it's worth the risk...

Commander Helix didn't keep the Mine Owner Yarman and Mine Owner Dalias any longer. He was worried that the carriage parked in front of the military headquarters would attract attention. If the Half-Elf discovered that the Silver Pegasus Legion had dealings with the Mine Owners on the Pagisto Plateau, that would be the worst thing ever...

When the Mine Owner Yarman saw Commander Helix riding ahead on horseback, with his carriage following behind, heading towards the Central Square, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There were very few carriages on the street. Several times along the way, they encountered Silvermoon Elven Guard Elven Guard, who would stop on their own initiative, salute Commander Helix Commander Helix, and watch him leave with his carriage.

Along the way, not a single elf dared to approach and ask questions.

The Mine Owner Yarman had his eyes closed; he hadn't slept a wink all night and felt somewhat groggy...

The young Mine Owner Dalias, observed the exquisite scenery outside the window. Seeing that almost all the shops on the street were closed, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Padesto City is much more dilapidated than it was five years ago..."

One after another, horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods departed from the Central Square, crossed the Central Avenue, and arrived at the huge warehouse behind the Silver Pegasus Military Department.

According to Earl Swynborne's plan, Pattington Plane would become a logistics warehouse for the Silver Pegasus Legion, which is why a large amount of supplies were transported to Pattington Plane at this time.

The carriage stopped by the roadside in the Central Square. Commander Helix did not let the two Mine Owners Yarman and Darius, get out of the carriage. Instead, he had them wait patiently in the carriage while he rode his horse straight to the square alone.

At this time, large quantities of military equipment were still being continuously transported out of the Teleportation Portal in the square.

The Central Square was piled high with all kinds of supplies, many of which were packed in Wooden Box and sealed with the Silver Pegasus Legion's seals.

The carriage stopped, and only then did the Mine Owner Yarman open his eyes.

The Teleportation Portal not far away was constantly radiating a magical aura. The spatial gate was like a mirror, and any supplies transported out of it would cause ripples to spread Teleportation Portal.

Although it is a One-Way Teleportation Gate, it actually reverses Teleportation Portal every now and then so that the Half-Elf laborers responsible for transporting supplies can return to Pattington Island.

The only difference is that the service to access Pattington Island is not open to the public.

This time, Commander Helix went to the Teleportation Portal to communicate with the Teleportation Portal Guard Captain to see if Yarman and Darius could be forced into the group of Half-Elf laborers so that they could leave the Pattington Plane ahead of schedule.

Sitting nervously in the carriage, Darius glanced at the Silvermoon Elven Guard around him and whispered to the Mine Owner Yarman, "Uncle Yarman, do you think Commander Helix might betray us?"

The Mine Owner Yarman leaned back in the leather seat in the carriage and casually said, "Absolutely not. Since they accepted our Magic Crystal Stone, they are already on our side. Only by safely sending us out of the Pattington Plane will they avoid any trouble."

"Otherwise, if we get caught, the first thing we'll do is confess to accepting bribes..."

After speaking, the Mine Owner Yarman turned and glanced at Commander Helix in the Central Square.

When the Mine Owner Dalias heard what the Mine Owner Yarman said, his expression softened a bit, and he picked up the teacup on the table and drank some water.

Thanks to Commander Helix's active communication, the Teleportation Portal Guard Captain agreed to Commander Helix's request and allowed him to bring in the two Half-Elf.

Commander Helix quickly rode his horse to the carriage and waved to the Mine Owner Yarman inside, signaling him to get off quickly.

The owners of the Mine Owner Yarman and Mine Owner Dalias dismounted from the carriage one after the other. Commander Helix also jumped off his horse, tossed the reins to the Silver Moon Elf Warrior beside him, and personally led the Mine Owner Yarman toward the Teleportation Portal.

At this time, there were only some flatbed wagons transporting supplies in the Central Square.

Mine Owner Yarman, looked at the enormous Teleportation Portal so close at hand, his heart pounded like a drum. Beside him, the young Mine Owner Dalias, was also filled with excitement.

It was clear that Commander Helix had communicated with the Teleportation Portal guards. They quickly approached the Teleportation Portal, but no one Teleportation Portal any attention.

Just then, a Half-Elf boy named Roy walked out from Teleportation Portal.

Roy's gaze fell on the owners of the Mine Owner Yarman and Mine Owner Dalias, and he shouted loudly from a distance of several meters:

"Mine Owner Yarman, Mine Owner Dalias, I never expected to meet you here. According to the laws of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, you are suspected of engaging in the trade of Elf Slaves, so I am now formally arresting you."

These words struck the Mine Owner Yarman like a bolt from the blue.

On the Pagisto Plateau, he had heard that the owner of the Roy Mine Owners was a young-looking Half-Elf. Now, when the Mine Owner Yarman saw Roy's face, he pointed at Roy and exclaimed in surprise, "You are Boss Roy?"

"That's right, it's me! I've come to Padesto to arrest all of you Mine Owners from the Nikoba Mountain Range ..."

Roy's voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of almost all the Teleportation Portal guards in front of the Teleportation Portal, as well as a large group of Half-Elf porters, all of whom turned to look at him with curiosity.

Standing next to the Mine Owner Yarman, Commander Helix's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected things to be exposed at the last moment.

Seeing the Teleportation Portal so close at hand, Commander Helix wished he could just push the Mine Owner Yarman and Mine Owner Dalias right into Teleportation Portal, even if they were torn to pieces by the Space Fissure Teleportation Portal, it would still be better than standing here.

Roy, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Mine Owner Yarman and Mine Owner Dalias were brought by Commander Helix, loudly pleaded with Commander Helix:

"Commander Helix, you probably don't know that these two are Mine Owners from the Nikoba Mountain Range in the western part of the Pagisto Plateau. They once had a deal with Baron Alvis involving Elf Slaves. I want to send them to the Silvermoon Elven Council of Elders's trial court. Can you help me capture them?"
