Path of light

Chapter 574 575. The Forgotten Heir

Although the half-blood elf warriors of the mine guards usually only move around the camp and the canyon entrance, their special identities still attract the cold eyes of other Silver Moon elves.

The camp of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights is located in the northwest corner of the valley, which is a very quiet location.

The fragrance of fruit tea often wafts out of the camp, and the Silver Moon Elf Knights do not need to take a bath by the lakeside waterfall outside the valley, which makes the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights live very comfortably.

Flying a circle over the valley three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, the patrol mission is completed.

The mine guards did not receive patrol and garrison missions. During this period, Roy led the half-blood elf warriors to pave the road from the Statue of Liberty to the canyon entrance.

Roy asked the half-blood elf warriors to transport some gravel from outside the valley to pad the road a little, and then spread a layer of fine sand on the gravel. Unfortunately, there were no slabs suitable for mining nearby, so there was no way to pave a slab road.

After Roy came to Golfito, he never saw the Dark Gate that everyone talked about.

Every time he returned to the camp, he could only sit at the entrance of the tent and look at the towering temple from afar. The priests in the Statue of Liberty no longer lived here.

At present, the Statue of Liberty is home to some elven magicians from the Magic Guild, the high priest of the Moon Temple, and the elven knights of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom.

I heard from Captain Malthus that the elves are trying to seal the Dark Gate in the Statue of Liberty.

Fundamentally solve the problem of sealing the Dark Gate on the Elf Continent.

If a great magician who is a second-level strongman can open the door to the elemental world, sign a magic contract with the elemental spirit, and use the power of the elemental spirit to release the fourth-level group magic, then when they are promoted again, they will become a third-level magician.

The elven magician actually already has an elemental body. Not only can they travel through the elemental world, but they can also mobilize the elemental power around their bodies at will and use rune arrays to control these elemental powers.

The opinion of several magicians is to build a magic circle around the Dark Portal, use the power of the magic circle to seal the Dark Portal, and prevent the dark breath from spreading in Golfito Canyon.

However, the high priests of the Moon Temple do not want the magicians of the Magic Guild to guard the Dark Portal alone. They hope to build a moon well in front of the Dark Portal to seal the Dark Portal with the power of moonlight and deter those dark creatures who are about to sneak into the Elf Continent.

In the hall of the Statue of Liberty, the Magic Guild and the Moon Temple each insisted on their own opinions and could not compromise. Because the magic pattern array that sealed the Dark Portal involved the advanced rune language of the Magic Guild, the Magic Guild was unwilling to share the advanced magic rune with the Moon Temple.

The matter of sealing the Dark Portal was delayed.

Roy lived in Golfito Canyon every day, and he could clearly feel that the sacred breath gathered in the canyon was constantly dissipating, while the dark breath was becoming more and more dignified.

I heard that the magicians of the Magic Guild and the high priests of the Moon Temple quarreled in the hall on the first floor of the Statue of Liberty every day, and the great knights of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom could only stand between the two opposing sides and play the role of mediator...

...

The half-blood elf warriors of the mine guards spent more than half a month to finally pave the road from the Statue of Liberty to the entrance of the canyon.

Roy took some half-blood elf warriors on the magic airship back to Murayaki City and loaded all the military supplies stored in the port warehouse onto the magic airship.

Before the magic airship left the harbor, Roy came to the Felek Manor with a letter written by Viscount Felek.

The manor was a large forest. The carriage drove along the forest road for a long time before seeing a giant towering tree. The tree was almost two hundred meters high. The huge canopy covered a large mountain and perfectly blended with the surrounding woods.

It looked like a building, with a trunk diameter of more than 50 meters, but there were hundreds of steps built on the exposed roots...

The carriage stopped at the bottom of the steps, and Roy got out of the carriage. A Silver Moon Elf who looked like a butler was waiting beside him.

Roy had never seen the Silver Moon Elf noble own such a luxurious manor in the upper city of Castletown.

Especially this giant towering tree that had lived for who knows how many years, which looked more majestic than a skyscraper from the outside.

The Silver Moon Elf butler had a poker face, his eyes kept scanning Roy's face, and then asked Roy slowly:

"Are you Captain Roy?"

"It's me." Roy replied.

He had an indescribable feeling, that is, although the butler's tone was very polite, Roy felt that he didn't think too highly of himself...

The butler bowed slightly to Roy and said:

"Please follow me!"

Turning and climbing the steps, the butler took Roy up the high wooden steps and walked into the giant tree.

Passing through the more than ten-meter-long arched passage, Roy looked up at the space inside that was wider than two basketball courts...

Such a huge tree, the trunk was actually hollow.

Countless vines hung down from the top of the trunk, and these vines were covered with white roots. These roots emitted a faint white fluorescence, making the space inside the trunk look a little mysterious.

Walking up along the circular staircase inside the giant tree, a moonstone is inlaid on the wooden wall every few steps, and the soft light makes the steps appear light blue.

There are many silver moon elves in the inner space of the trunk. When they see the butler leading Roy in, they all cast curious eyes on Roy.

Roy walked for a while and finally found that the rooms opened up in the trunk were rings.

Each floor is a ring.

Roy followed the butler up five floors in one breath, which means that he passed through the five ring-shaped areas in the trunk. There are at least hundreds of rooms opened up in the trunk alone.

It can be seen that the Felek family is quite powerful in the city of Murayaki, otherwise they would not own such a historic manor.

The butler led Roy into an empty room. The room did not look big, but it was decorated very warmly.

It should be a very private reception room. Although the room has no terrace, it has a round window. This round window is very grand. A soft wool blanket is laid on the windowsill. Sitting on the windowsill, you can just overlook the scenery of the entire bay of Murayaki City.

Roy looked around the room for a while, and then sat on the chair and waited for a while.

With a series of light footsteps, the wooden door was gently pushed open, and the butler came in with two silver moon elf maids carrying fruit plates and fruit tea. The two maids pursed their lips and placed the snacks on the table, and then left the room obediently at the butler's signal.

"Captain Roy, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the butler didn't even look at the expression on Roy's face, turned around and walked out of the room.

In the room, Roy first sat on the chair for a long time, and then admired the scenery of Murayaki City by the window. Feeling the shadows left by the sunlight through the glass window constantly slanting, Roy finished all the fruit tea and began to look at the color of the ceiling in the room. Viscount Felek's father never showed up.

Until the sound of brisk footsteps came from the door, Roy turned and looked at the door. A young Silver Moon Elf dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes walked in from outside with a faint smile on his face.

His chin was slightly raised, and his eyes narrowed into a line and looked at Roy.

"Are you Captain Roy? Viscount Felek who took refuge in your mine guard regiment is my brother." The young Silver Moon Elf said.

Before Roy could answer, he nodded slightly to Roy: "Thank you for taking care of him for so long."

"It was Earl Macaulay who entrusted Viscount Felek to me. The person you should thank is Earl Macaulay." Roy said casually.

The young Silver Moon Elf was slightly startled, and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"I was wondering how he could have such means to become the guide of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. It turned out that Earl Macaulay helped..."

Roy didn't want to waste any more time here, so he took out a letter written by Viscount Felek from his arms, handed it to the young Silver Moon Elf, and asked casually:

"This is a letter written by Viscount Felek. I was entrusted by him to deliver the letter. Now I have completed my mission. Before leaving, do you have anything to say to Viscount Felek?"

The young Silver Moon Elf didn't expect Roy to say this... He thought about it seriously before saying:

"He caused such a big trouble this time. Earl Stasa is looking for trouble with the Felek family everywhere in Murayaki City. The events in the past month and a half, The Felak family's industry in Murayaki City has shrunk by nearly one-third. The current strategy we have chosen is to continue to gather the family industry and strive to minimize this loss. "

"As for my brother, I... um, the family's view is that it is best not to appear in Murayaki City recently, so as not to escalate the conflict between the Felak family and the Stasa family. We will find a way to help him smooth out the relationship, but many industries in the family have suffered heavy losses. It is better to wait until things calm down before making other considerations. "

"Please tell him these words, so my brother will be in your care for the next period of time!"

After speaking, the young Silver Moon Elf nodded to Roy again, and then took away Viscount Felak's handwritten letter.

Roy left the Felak family manor under the leadership of the butler.

Until Roy got on the carriage and sat on the double-row sofa, he could only sigh softly. He didn't expect that this kind of Silver Moon Elf noble family would also have a power struggle among the heirs.

It seems... Viscount Felec seems to have been abandoned by his family.

...

Roy took the magic airship back to Golfito Canyon.

The magic airship landed in the lake outside the canyon, and all the half-blood elf warriors went out to move the supplies on the magic airship to the canyon camp.

This time, when Roy passed the entrance of the canyon, he felt that the lavender mist at the entrance of the canyon smelled even more fishy.

The sacred atmosphere in the canyon became thinner and thinner, and Roy could even feel a dark atmosphere emanating from behind the Statue of Liberty...

It seems that the plan to seal the Dark Gate in Golfito Canyon is imminent.

All the supplies were piled up in the camp, and they were finally done with these things.

Roy lay down on the rattan chair in front of the tent, and the silver Pegasus knights living on the other side of the camp began to line up to receive daily necessities.

Captain Malthus walked in from outside the camp with a team of silver Pegasus knights. Hearing that Captain Roy had returned to the camp, he ran to Roy and said to him with a smile:

"Tomorrow, the leaders of our various corps are invited to the Statue of Liberty to discuss matters concerning the Dark Portal. Captain Roy, do you want to attend the meeting with me?"

Roy really wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty. He wanted to know how the priests lived in the temple.

Although the priests were no longer there, he wanted to see where they lived.

"Can I go?"

Roy sat up from the rattan chair and asked uncertainly.

"Of course!"

Captain Malthus laughed and said:

"But... you know! Recently, the magicians of the Magic Guild and the high priests of the Moon Temple have been arguing fiercely, so even if we go to the hall of the Statue of Liberty and participate in this meeting, we can only listen at most."

"That's great! I just want to visit the Statue of Liberty. I promise to bring only my ears, not my mouth..."

Hearing Roy's interesting words, Captain Malthus waved at Roy:

"Then it's settled!"

As soon as Captain Malthus left, Viscount Felek came to Roy's tent.

Life in the canyon made the impetuous Viscount Felek completely quiet down. He wore simple leather armor, carried an elven longbow, and hung two pots of feather arrows on his waist. His right arm looked a little red and swollen. It seemed that he went to the archery training ground to shoot arrows.

Roy invited Viscount Felek into his tent...

Viscount Felek wanted to ask what news the family had brought back. In the past, when he got into trouble like this, his father would come forward to solve the trouble for him. He only needed to hide outside for a while and then he could return to Murayaki City.

Roy sat opposite Viscount Felek and did not speak.

A soft holy light appeared between his hands, and then this holy light fell on Viscount Felek's arm. Viscount Felek felt that his arm, which was originally hot, sore and painful, was like a bucket of cool spring water, and a cool breeze swept away the burning pain in his arm.

Viscount Felec took a deep breath, looked at his recovered arm, and asked Roy tentatively:

"Captain Roy, are you a priest?"

Roy nodded and said, "Your arm is seriously injured. If you continue to practice, you may hurt your arm tendons. I worked as an apprentice priest in the Statue of Liberty in Castletown for a period of time, so I learned some divine arts."

Roy hesitated and continued:

"This time when I went to your manor, I didn't see Earl Felec. The person who came out to meet me was your younger brother..."
