Chapter 112 113. Death of Peleus

A squadron of Silver Pegasus appeared from the east sky. Sixty elven warriors wearing the same silver armor roared over from the sky, carrying a very strong chilling aura. Even if they were hovering in mid-air, It’s also full of aura.

A captain flew out from among the elf warriors. He landed in front of the elf students on a silver pegasus and asked loudly:

"Who sent the distress signal?"

Before the elf captain stopped asking questions, an elf girl in the crowd said:

"Uncle Ostan, we have trouble here..."

A shy elf girl walked towards the Osten squadron leader.

Squadron Leader Ostein's expression immediately softened, and he asked the girl softly: "Daisy, what happened?"

The elf girl named Daisy whispered: "A human adventure group entered the Malaga jungle and not only killed the academy instructors at the check-in point, but also captured some classmates."

Squadron Leader Ostein asked: "Where are the two elf warriors who came to investigate the situation earlier?"

Daisy seemed to be very uncomfortable with talking to people in front of everyone, and replied with a slightly red face:

"They continued to chase west. Uncle Austen, this time it was Claire and Roy who discovered something unusual at check-in point two. They may also know some more detailed information."

The surrounding elf students immediately dispersed, revealing Roy and Claire.

"Are you Claire and Roy?" Squadron Leader Osten asked, his tone not harsh.

"It's us!" Roy and Claire answered in perfect agreement.

"Did you find anything else?"

Claire looked at Roy, obviously wanting Roy to speak for himself.

Roy said: "Sir, squadron leader, I saw them at the port dock on Brown Street in Castletown a month ago. They were the crew of a large ship at the time. After disembarking, they asked me to be their guide. They were near the dock. I found a hotel, and later killed a Dark Moon Elf in the tavern, and escaped back to the ship that night, and the ship left Castletown Harbor."

"So, their ships are likely to be anchored in the nearby waters. This information is very useful to us."

Captain Ostein turned around and waved to the Silver Pegasus Squadron behind him.

When the group of elven warriors gathered, Captain Osten ordered:

"Team 1 and Team 2, separate some distance and search all the way to the west. After reaching the seaside, follow the coastline in both directions north and south to look for their landing boats. If you find any trace of them, send a rally signal immediately! "

"Yes! Squadron Leader."

"The third team and the fourth team, the nearby jungles are densely populated. I need you to use check-in point No. 2 as the central axis and search for traces of this adventure group from the outside."

"Yes, squadron leader."

Finally, Captain Osten said to the last remaining group of elf warriors:

"The fifth team stays with me and searches for clues left by this adventurous group."

The four Silver Pegasus squads then dispersed to perform their respective tasks, leaving only the fifth squad to guard Captain Osten's side.

Captain Osten and the elf warriors of the fifth team came down one after another and followed the elf students to the tent where the instructor of the elf academy was.

Seeing the elf instructor's throat being cut, Squadron Leader Osten frowned and then ordered:

“Let’s bury this elf academy instructor.”

"yes!"

His elf warriors came up in a hurry, and one of them actually pulled out a few painted wooden boards from his magic belt bag in a very exaggerated way, and put them together into a simple coffin outside the tent.

Then they carried the body of the college instructor into the coffin, covered him with a piece of white cloth, and then closed the coffin lid.

Roy and other elf students stood nearby, watching with wide eyes as the elf warrior finished doing this and searched the tent again.

The squadron of the Silver Pegasus Corps came out to perform a mission, and even brought a coffin with them.

This really opened Roy's eyes.

One of the elf warriors reported, "Captain Osten, the opponent is experienced in tactics and should be a professional hunter."

Squadron Leader Ostein cursed angrily: "To say they are hunters is simply an insult to the word 'hunter'. They are a group of outright slave traders."

"They kidnapped the elf students and they probably won't move too fast. What we need to pay attention to is that they are very likely not to be discovered. Otherwise, once they feel the danger, once they lose their baggage, it will probably be even harder for us to catch them all. ”

After searching the scene, the elf warriors of the fifth team dispersed, looking for clues around the check-in point.

After a lot of fussing, the clues received are actually very limited...

Captain Osten immediately decided to leave only two elf warriors at the check-in point, and the rest of the elf warriors would follow him to hunt down the adventure group.

After a lot of trouble at the check-in point, these elf warriors just put the instructor's body into the coffin and quickly left here.

None of the group of elf students waiting at check-in point No. 2 left immediately. They all decided to stay at check-in point No. 2 for one night.

Because an instructor from the academy died at check-in point No. 2, and some students were kidnapped. It is inevitable that the Elf Academy will be held accountable for this matter.

And the teachers from the college haven't arrived yet, so everyone decided to wait here.

Some elf students simply camped in the open space under the cliff, waiting for the college teacher to arrive.

During this period, two more teams arrived at the second check-in point one after another. They heard that the instructor at the second check-in point was killed, and they all froze in place.

…

Roy and Claire finally found their two tents among the messy tents on the ground.

But the two tents were covered with footprints and torn in places, which made Claire feel like crying while holding the tents.

Except for Roy and Claire, the other Silver Moon elves did not suffer any losses.

When the tents were being set up, everyone was guessing how many students would be kidnapped by this adventurous group, but looking at so many abandoned tents around the check-in point, we knew that the number of people would not be too small.

At night, everyone built a bonfire under the cliff.

For dinner, most of the elves were eating fruits, some of which were berries picked up in the wild, and some of which were breadfruit and elf biscuits brought by the elves.

In fact, elf cookies are not made from wheat flour.

The real elf biscuits are made from nuts scooped out of the core of the tree of life, fried into powder, filled with some honey, stirred evenly and pressed into cakes.

This kind of elf biscuit has always been the ration for individual soldiers of the elf army. It is said that eating one piece will not require eating for several days.

And the elf actually brought a bag of dried fish...

In fact, Roy really wanted to taste the lizard tail, but Claire never satisfied his request. After Claire's repeated insistence, all the petrified lizard meat was thrown away.

It is precisely because of this that Roy secretly made up his mind: when he gets rich, the first thing he will buy first is the magic waist bag...

Beside the bonfire, Claire was still telling everyone what happened in the morning. Some elves arrived at the check-in point in the afternoon and were not sure what happened here.

…

Roy sat next to him...

On his left was Claire, and on his right were several mixed-blood elves.

Probably because he found Roy to be very easy-going, a strong mixed-blood elf approached Roy and asked him in a low voice:

"Roy, is that sailor really Jefferson's murderer?"

Roy nodded and then asked:

"You know Jefferson?"

The sturdy mixed-blood elf curled his lips and said:

"We are not familiar with him. He is a Dark Moon Elf and usually does not look at us. But Peleus is very familiar with him. Peleus and I live in the same townhouse. Usually Peleus will help We deal with the gangsters from other neighborhoods. Peleus also died inexplicably a while ago. I originally suspected that the gangsters from other neighborhoods had a grudge against him and secretly worked behind his back. Now it seems that it may have been this group of slave traders who killed him."

Roy didn't expect that this mixed-blood elf actually knew Peleus. An idea came to his mind and he asked casually:

"What about Peleus?"

The sturdy mixed-blood elf waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "That guy is a typical optimist, but his hands are a bit dishonest and he always likes to steal things, but he is really loyal. All the children in our building have been His help."

Roy tried to ask again: "I heard that he has a sister?"

The mixed elf then felt that Roy seemed to be very familiar with Peleus, and said casually:

"You're talking about Windsor. She usually works in the library and doesn't live here. We rarely see her. Do you know their brother and sister?"

Roy shook his head and whispered: "I can only be regarded as knowing Jefferson. I have heard the names Peleus and Windsor from him."

"Oh!" The doubts in the eyes of the mixed-blood elf quickly dissipated, and then he said to Roy mysteriously:

"Let me tell you, I have always thought that Peleus's death might have something to do with the priests of the Temple of the Moon, because before Peleus died, someone in our row saw a priest looking for him, but now I see Come on, we must have misunderstood the priest, I think it was probably this group of slave traders who did it."

"So you are telling me this because you plan to wait until those slave traders are caught. If I can have a chance to talk to those slave traders, I will confirm with them whether they killed Peleus?"

The mixed-blood elf smiled and said a little embarrassedly:

"It's best to help us find the answer. You also know that us mixed elves always lack some rights. We probably won't be able to attend their trials!"

Roy agreed immediately: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will definitely ask for you."

"Thank you very much!"

The half-blood elf immediately thanked him.
