Path of light

Chapter 582 583. Conditions

The leader of a group of Silver Moon elves followed the temple priest and listened to him talk about the daily operations of the entire expedition camp.

This expeditionary camp can be said to be the rear area of ​​the Dark Land after the priests of the Temple of Liberty abandoned the Temple of Liberty in Golfito Canyon...

Judging from the current actions of these three priests, they should want to give up this expeditionary camp to the Silver Moon Elf army.

All the priests in the camp were preparing for this trip. What they carried the most was the holy water in the pool, which surprised Roy.

In fact, there was a human face among the group of Silver Moon Elf leaders, which made the priests a little confused.

The Silver Moon elves are a little proud and always like to live in the glory of the past elven dynasty. They very much reject mixed-blood elves, and it is impossible for a human to become an officer in the Silver Moon elves army.

But Roy was among these Silver Moon Elf officers...

"At this time, it is midnight in the dark land. Generally, dark creatures rarely appear in this valley at this time. Even if they appear, they will be revealed under the red curtain, so this period is also the best time for us to go out. Good time.”

"Once the dark place becomes completely dark, for the dark creatures here, their 'day' will also come."

"At this time, a large number of dark creatures will be active everywhere. Although the dark creatures here also have territorial concepts, powerful dark creatures generally have extremely powerful perception capabilities. Generally, they can sense foreign objects without hiding methods from a few kilometers away. By."

"So you should try your best to hide in the expeditionary camp during this time. This place is actually quite secretive..."

The temple priest walked out of a magic tower and continued to tell the Silver Moon Elf officers about the characteristics of the dark land.

Roy hid as low-key as possible among the elf officers. The group came to the pool. Roy found that there were no sacred objects in the water, but the entire pool was filled with a strong sacred aura, and the water was full of the power of holy light.

Although the temple priest did not tell the elf officers clearly: What is in the pool is a pool of holy water, and you must cherish it.

Instead, it tells: The holy water in the pool can restrain ordinary dark creatures. Many weak dark creatures often look like a shadow or black mist. The elven warriors were unable to cause substantial damage to these dark creatures using ordinary fighting methods.

At this time, if you can splash some holy water on these ordinary dark creatures, you can quickly deal with these dark creatures.

However, the damage caused by holy water to high-level dark creatures is very limited. In many cases, it is easy to anger those high-level dark creatures. Once these high-level dark creatures go crazy, they are also very dangerous.

The temple priest was beside the holy pool, telling a group of Silver Moon Elf officers about the means of survival in the dark land.

Roy felt that the Second Silver Pegasus Knights were a flying army and were bound to patrol the skies over Golfito Canyon. As an auxiliary of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights, they were specifically serving the Second Silver Pegasus Knights. , there is basically no possibility of entering the dark place.

So Roy deserted among a group of Silver Moon Elf officers...

He felt that he might not have a chance to enter the dark place, and there were no priests in Golfito Canyon, so Roy squatted next to the pool, holding a small pot, and helped a priest fill the water bag. Fill it with holy water.

When the priest saw someone taking the initiative to help, he was very happy to express his gratitude to Roy.

"Are you going to follow the expedition into the depths of darkness?" Roy asked in a low voice.

"How is that possible! We priests are all old and in poor health. We were left behind by the expeditionary army. They just don't want us to drag them down..." The priest showed a helpless smile and said to Roy.

"Our expeditionary force went to the depths of the dark land to find the whereabouts of the goddess. We stayed behind to hold the camp behind for them." The old priest whispered: "Although this is the expeditionary force camp, it is not us in the darkness. The largest camp established in the land, now that we have abandoned the Temple of Liberty in Golfito, naturally we don’t want to guard the expeditionary camp at the Gate of Darkness..."

"It's just that our Archbishop Felix Mitchell once made a promise to the Silver Moon Elf King, that is, he would guard the Dark Gate in exchange for the qualification to spread the teachings of the Goddess of Liberty in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom."

"Now that the Silver Moon Elf Army has come to take over the Dark Portal, we can completely put everything aside and concentrate on finding our goddess!"

When the old priest said these words, his tone was full of matter-of-factness...

Roy looked at the wrinkled face of the old priest. His figure suddenly became extremely tall in Roy's sight.

"Do you know High Priest Reed?" Roy finally asked what was in his heart.

The old priest thought seriously for a moment, and finally shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. There are at least hundreds of thousands of priests in the Elf Continent. I only know a handful of priests around me, but... if you want to find him, , you can go to our largest Expeditionary Force camp of Esnes here to find out."

"Okay, there's no need to pretend anymore. No matter how much you pretend, I can't carry it!" The old priest gave Roy a kind smile.

Roy quickly hung the small cooking pot on his waist and helped the old priest carry the water bag.

…

After Captain Gabrielis took over from the temple priest a bunch of copper keys that symbolized the management rights of the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp, the priests waiting by the pool slowly carried their heavy luggage. Tundi walked under a magic tower and walked out of the expeditionary camp.

These priests will move to the next expeditionary camp, so that they can reportedly get closer to the Statue of Liberty.

Commander Gabrielleth looked down at the somewhat hot copper key. Now the magisters of the Magic Guild are studying how to repair the Dark Gate, and the priests of the Moon Temple are thinking of ways to build the Moon Well, so the Dark Gate is The defense of the expeditionary camp on the border can only fall on the military.

Gabrielleth scanned the faces of the Silver Moon Elf leaders in front of him.

No matter who he saw, the leader of the Silver Moon Elf would look away with a guilty conscience, not daring to look at Gabrielleth...

Gabrielleth felt that the Silver Moon Elf leaders did not want the guard group to come to the Dark Land to garrison.

He coughed lightly and asked the Silver Moon Elf leaders around him:

"Now that the Expeditionary Army camp outside the Dark Gate is officially taken over by us Silver Moon Elves, which of your guard groups is willing to come to garrison at the Expeditionary Army camp here?"

There was silence all around, and no one answered.

The commander of the Gabriel Regiment's face sank slightly, and he glanced around with sharp eyes.

Roy was mixed in the crowd of Silver Moon Elf leaders, and he didn't want to answer...

But he was particularly eye-catching among the group of Silver Moon Elf captains. Captain Gabriels looked at Roy, who just lowered his head absentmindedly.

The commander of the Gabrielle Corps looked at Roy in confusion, and then asked in a low voice to the adjutant beside him. The adjutant immediately leaned into Gabrielle's ear and explained in a low voice.

"Captain Roy!"

The commander of the Gabriel Regiment actually called Roy in public.

Roy immediately walked out of the crowd, stood in front of the commander of the Gabriel Regiment, and saluted him with a military salute.

"I heard that you defeated the gray dwarf bandit fleet at Sheephorn Fjord. I wonder if you would be willing to lead the mine guard group to station at the expedition camp of the Dark Portal?"

Commander Gabrielleth asked with a smile.

He learned from the adjutant that Roy was the leader of the mixed-blood elf guard group who had been rumored in Buenos City for killing the descendants of the Silver Moon Elf nobles. He didn't mind posing a problem to the young half-elf in front of him. .

Even though he knew that Roy's mine guard regiment was an auxiliary force of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights, he still smiled and asked Roy this difficult question.

"Captain Gabrielleth, Commander Roy's guard army is the auxiliary of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights. They are responsible for the logistics of our regiment in Golfito Canyon!"

Captain Malthus took the initiative to stand up at this time and explained to Roy.

Commander Gabrielleth looked at the knight leader who also came from the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, narrowed his eyes and snorted:

"Even if Macaulay was standing in front of me, he would not say this at this time...Malthus, do you want to directly reject me on behalf of Captain Roy? Don't you want to ask Captain Roy's opinion?"

Captain Malthus was slightly startled. What he just said was a bit too direct, which made Captain Gabrielle feel a little embarrassed...

Roy could only take the initiative to stand up and ask directly to the Commander of the Gabriel Regiment: "Legion Commander, do you want my mine guard regiment to station at the Dark Land Expeditionary Army camp?"

"That's the plan!" Commander Gabrielleis said bluntly.

Originally, he was just asking tentative questions to pose a problem to Roy, but now he can only admit it...

"The Mine Guard Corps is willing to accept the task of stationing at the Dark Portal!" Roy said quickly.

Roy was also very confused. He had already thought of a reason for rejection, but before he could say it, Captain Malthus kindly helped him.

"But you also know that my guard group is just a group of mine guards who were formed not long ago when Partington faced the position. The combat capabilities of my mixed-blood elf warriors are not very strong, and their bodies can't even withstand the attacks in the dark land. The dark atmosphere erodes, so I hope that every mixed-blood elf warrior in the mine guard group can get a cup of undiluted life tree sap every two weeks to ensure the physical condition of the mixed-blood elf warriors."

Roy raised his hand and took the initiative to discuss the terms with the commander of the Gabriel Regiment.

In fact, this military welfare package is a normal thing for other Silver Moon Elf warriors, but this group of mixed-blood elven warriors in the mine guard group do not have this kind of treatment.

Roy usually bought the tree of life sap that the mixed-blood elf warriors drank from the black market in Castleton City at a high price.

Now that he has brought the mine guard team to Golfito Canyon, the tree of life sap is naturally not available.

Therefore, he opened his mouth and put forward a condition that everyone could accept...

"Okay!" Commander Gabrielleth agreed without hesitation.

"Then how long will our mine guard regiment be stationed here before we can change our defenses? After all, we are also the auxiliary troops of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights." Roy continued to ask the commander of the Gabrielle Regiment.

"Rotate once every six months, three times in total! After three years, the Mine Guard Corps can evacuate from Golfito City." Commander Gabrielleth said again.

"The dark creatures hunted in the dark land belong to the half-blood elf warriors of our guard group..."

Roy's eyes turned and he asked again.

"Okay..."
