Path of light

Chapter 584 585. The Priest in Trouble

The magician named Elaud took out a white hexagonal test magic crystal from his magic waist bag and followed Roy to a magic tower at the edge of the camp.

This magic tower built around the expeditionary camp is very simple. It is surrounded by a wall made of stone, but the surface of the stone wall is coated with a layer of dust, making the surface of the wall very flat.

This magic tower has only one floor, and there is a magic center made of magic crystal inside. The magic center is placed on a magic pattern array. The abundant magic gathered by the magic pattern array is concentrated by the magic center and transmitted to the top of the tower.

On the top of the tower is a mana transmitter made of mithril. This mana transmitter is tilted and pointed to the sky above the Dark Portal, at the same angle as the other fifteen mana transmitters. In this way, the magic beams transmitted by the sixteen magic towers finally converge above the Dark Portal, forming a huge magic light group.

These magic beams are filled with magic force fields...

It is the existence of magic force fields that form magic shields between the sixteen magic beams to shield the perception of dark creatures.

Mage Elaud first checked the magic center, then checked the magic pattern array on the ground, and told Roy how these magic devices work.

Roy followed behind Mage Elaud, feeling extremely confused.

He was not a magician, so how could he understand these things.

But he did not dare to offend this magician. In his usual life, it was almost impossible to meet such a magician. Even if he did not understand, he had to listen carefully. Roy listened...

There was one thing he heard very clearly, that is, these magic towers needed a large number of magic crystals to maintain the normal operation of the magic center.

The priests of the Statue of Liberty did not leave Roy any magic crystals. The magic crystals in the grooves of the magic array crystals were almost half burned. Magister Elaud told Roy that he needed to prepare a batch of magic crystals as soon as possible, otherwise the magic shield of the expeditionary camp would disappear instantly once the mana supply was interrupted.

Roy immediately applied for a batch of magic crystals from the commander of the Gabrels Legion. The adjutant took the application form written by Roy and quickly passed through the Dark Portal.

Not long after, the adjutant brought back two boxes of magic crystals.

It can be seen that the commander of the Gabrels Legion still attaches great importance to the guarding of the expeditionary camp.

After the inspection of all sixteen magic towers, Magister Elaud left in a hurry...

...

Roy originally planned to hang a ball of holy light above the camp. The best location was a small square in front of the holy water pool, which was not very large, so that the holy light could radiate the entire small square.

He also required all half-blood elf warriors to sit quietly in the small square for a quarter of an hour every day...

But Roy soon discovered that the holy aura next to the pool was very strong, and this holy aura continued to spread around. This holy aura could dispel the dark aura attached to the half-blood elf warriors, and the effect was very good.

So Roy asked the half-blood elf warriors to sit by the pool in the small square for a while when they rested.

In addition, Roy also made some attempts in the remote corners of the expeditionary camp. He tried to operate the magic vortex around the Holy Light Tree to absorb the holy light particles floating in the air to the greatest extent. Sure enough, the holy light particles were extremely rare, not completely absent, but very few.

In order to restore the holy light power in his body to a full state, Roy may have to spend five times more time than usual.

However, as long as Roy returns to the holy water pool in front of the Dark Portal, the holy light power in his body will recover very quickly.

In fact, Roy has always suspected that there may be a holy artifact hidden in this pool, otherwise how could the pool produce holy water continuously?

But Roy walked around the pool for a long time. The whole pool was made of ordinary pebbles. The water was very clear and the bottom of the pool could be seen at a glance. There were no objects with a strong sacred aura.

The magicians had been looking for the cause of the collapse of the Dark Portal around the stone pillars of the Dark Portal. However, since the sealing array on the Golfito Canyon had been dismantled and there was no surging magic tide, the situation of the Dark Portal gradually stabilized.

So the magicians began to try to find the specific reason why the sealing array and the Dark Portal repelled each other.

…

Because of the protection of the magic shield, few dark creatures would enter the expeditionary camp, so the half-blood elf warriors of the mine guard group only needed to take turns to guard the sixteen magic towers.

In just a few days, Roy gradually became familiar with the expeditionary camp.

This is a very hidden canyon. Only in the ‘daytime’ of the dark land will some dark creatures appear.

Roy was worried that rash actions would expose the expeditionary camp, so he did not try to leave the expeditionary camp in recent days.

As expected, Commander Gabreth fulfilled his promise. The first batch of military supplies was delivered to the expeditionary camp, and among the supplies was a whole barrel of life sap.

Life sap was of limited help to Roy, but it was an absolute tonic for the elves. The healthy growth of the elves was inseparable from the nourishment of life sap.

Many elves liked to build cities around the Tree of Life, hoping to get some life sap.

Ordinary Silver Moon elves living in the city actually have some quotas of Life Tree Sap, but they can only be allocated diluted Life Tree Sap at most, and twice a month.

The Silver Moon elves in the army can receive a cup of diluted Life Tree Sap every week, and their treatment is better than that of ordinary Silver Moon elves.

As for the Silver Moon elf nobles in the city, they have the right to distribute Life Tree Sap.

Roy applied for Life Tree Sap from the commander of the Gabrres Legion, just to fundamentally improve the physique of these half-blood elf warriors.

Letting them enter the expeditionary camp in the dark land is also to let them be constantly contaminated with the dark aura, and then dispel it little by little with the holy aura, so as to slowly improve the affinity of the holy element, and also appropriately increase the resistance to the dark element.

Sure enough, the half-blood elf warriors who often sit quietly by the pool will have some holy aura in their bodies.

Some half-blood elf warriors can even gather the holy aura in their bodies on their fingertips to form a small flame, just like Roy at the beginning.

So Roy would ask them if they felt a seed with a sacred aura appear in their bodies...

The half-blood elf warriors shook their heads, saying that they did not have such a feeling.

Then, Roy taught the half-blood elves the simplest "Glimmer Illumination Technique".

Although this divine pattern was as simple as it could be for Roy, and the prayer was also very short, these half-blood elf warriors tried to learn it, but problems arose frequently. Roy taught hard for three days, but no half-blood elf warrior could perform the "Glimmer Illumination Technique".

After living in the expeditionary camp for half a month, Roy was no longer satisfied with being able to move around in the camp. He wanted to walk out of the magic shield, see the world outside the shield, and see the dark creatures outside the camp.

Every day, Roy would stand next to the magic shield and observe the world outside the camp closely.

However, the expeditionary camp was surrounded by a valley, so he could only hide in the camp and roughly observe the surrounding mountains...

This was the starting point of the Statue of Liberty expeditionary army. Roy stretched out a finger and touched the magic shield, which actually had ripples.

‘Let’s observe for a few more days! ’

Roy thought to himself, and then gave up the idea of ​​sneaking out.

The sixteen magic towers consume a large amount of magic crystals every day. Fortunately, all these magic crystals are provided by the military. Roy looked at the magic beam that was like a torrent, and could only secretly smack his lips in his heart.

A half-blood elf patrol team quickly passed through the layers of tents and finally found Roy at the magic tower.

The half-blood elf captain took a breath and reported to Roy:

"Boss, when we were patrolling near Magic Tower No. 9, we found a priest lying outside the camp!"

Roy raised his head suddenly and told the half-blood elf captain:

"Take me there quickly..."

Roy stood up after he finished speaking, and the half-blood elf captain turned around and led the way. Soon, the group came to the side of Magic Tower No. 9. Roy stood inside the magic shield. Under the guidance of the half-blood elf captain's finger, he saw a ragged priest lying outside the shield.

Roy couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.

He lay motionless on the ground, less than ten meters away from the magic shield of the expeditionary camp...

Roy looked up at the earth-red sky, thought again and again, and then said to the half-blood elf warriors beside him:

"I'll go out and drag him back, you meet me in the camp!"

"Boss, let me go!"

"Please let me go..."

The half-blood elf warriors around him took the initiative to apply, Roy skillfully condensed a ball of sacred glimmer above his head, and then asked the half-blood elves around him:

"Who of you has learned the 'glimmer illumination technique', I can give him the opportunity to go outside to retrieve the corpse..."

Roy glanced around, the half-blood elf warriors looked embarrassed, and no one took the initiative to stand up at this time.

Roy smiled at them and pushed the magic shield with one hand. His hand instantly passed through the shield and entered the real dark land. The thick dark atmosphere around was like a thick fog, wrapping Roy's arm...

Roy took a deep breath and quickly got into the dark world.

The half-blood elf warriors hiding behind the shield saw a faint holy light emanating from Roy's body, and quickly ran to the fallen priest not far away. Roy first turned him over, and then put his hand under the priest's nose to test whether he was still breathing.

Feeling a little warm under his fingertips, Roy was a little excited and couldn't help muttering:

"It's alive..."
