Path of light

Chapter 603 604. Energy Conservation

In addition to a group of second-turn masters, this powerful adventure group in the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp is actually followed by some powerful mercenary warriors, almost all of whom are first-turn peak elf warriors.

Among the forty-seven members, there are sixteen second-turn masters, and Byron Thor is one of them.

Roy wrapped his whole body in a magic cloak, which not only shielded his own breath, but also protected him from the erosion of the dark air.

This was not the first time Roy walked into the dark land, and he was very familiar with the environment in the Dark Gate area.

There were relatively few dark creatures nearby, and of course this matter was inseparable from him.

After walking out of the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp, looking around, there was a desolate scene under the dark red sky, with black oily soil, sand, and gravel everywhere.

Only when the sky was red, the adventure group would follow the signpost to the depths of the dark land.

These road signs were made of the simplest wooden boards, and even the marks of the Statue of Liberty were still on them. After the paint on the wooden signs fell off, the wood had already decayed severely. Roy felt that if he pinched it casually with his hands, the road signs might rot.

Every one or two kilometers, everyone would find a road sign, and the adventure team would advance towards the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp along the road signs.

When the dark red sky began to darken, the adventure team would start looking for a campsite...

At this time, the creatures on the dark land gradually woke up from their slumber, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Sitting in the tent, Roy could clearly feel countless dark creatures floating outside the tent. He put his face behind the curtain at the entrance of the tent and could vaguely see those dark creatures in the air, like thousands of small fish swimming in the boundless sea. The scene was very spectacular and even a little scary.

And Roy's camp was a secluded place somewhere in the extremely deep and desolate seabed.

Even if there were so many second-level strongmen in the adventure team, everyone could not travel during the time when the dark creatures woke up.

Every day, the tent had to be set up before it got completely dark.

The campsites chosen were almost always in the cracks of some boulder, or in a huge shallow pit on the flat ground, or in a valley, etc.

The tents set up in the temporary camps were almost all short. Roy curled up in the tent, and his head would still touch the top of the tent. This kind of tent was also covered with a layer of magic cloth to isolate the breath of the adventurer.

Roy and Byron Thor lived in the same tent. They also shared the tent with the great magician Daracle and the dwarf shield warrior Linglan Bronzebeard, so Roy slept near the door of the tent. As long as he slightly opened the curtain at the door, he could see the dark night sky outside.

Just as Roy was peeking out, Byron Thor, who was sleeping on the other side, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up suddenly and quickly reached out to pull the curtain closed...

At the same time, a huge shadow suddenly appeared above the tent. A black giant more than 20 meters high almost brushed the edge of the camp and slowly passed through the land.

The dwarf shield warrior, who had long been asleep, just stretched out a strong arm from his sleeping bag, wiped his nose and fell asleep again.

On the road to Isness, there was almost nothing except dark creatures.

Although the adventure group was composed of some strong men from the mercenary group and the adventure group, and had rich wild survival experience, this depressing itinerary still made everyone irritable, and many negative emotions grew from the bottom of their hearts. Some members with bad tempers occasionally cursed and muttered a few words.

Everyone became silent, and even normal communication gradually decreased.

The depressing atmosphere will make people restless...

...

But Roy said that the atmosphere in the tent where they lived was quite harmonious.

Because the great magician Dalakli and the shield warrior Linglan Bronzebeard were both close friends of Byron Thor. They were in the same mercenary group. After that mercenary group was disbanded, the three separated for various reasons.

Byron Thor created a new mercenary group.

Just when this mercenary group was developing at its best, the mercenary group suddenly accepted the commission of the Statue of Liberty.

Then the mercenary group joined the Temple Expeditionary Force and entered the Dark Land...

At the beginning, the Temple Expeditionary Force's offensive in the Dark Land was almost unstoppable, constantly conquering the vast land of the Dark Land.

But later, the Supreme Commander of the Temple Expeditionary Force, Bishop Prince, discovered that the Temple Expeditionary Force had no way to occupy the Dark Land. As the battle line gradually lengthened, various drawbacks began to appear within the Temple Expeditionary Force.

Until a two-month-long battle, almost all the members of Byron Thor's mercenary group were killed or wounded...

Byron Thor wanted to go to the battlefield site in the Dark Land and bring the bones of his companions back to the Elf Continent. He even prepared a cemetery. It was a hillside with a clear stream flowing through it, and the hillside was covered with lush chestnut trees.

Byron Thor hoped that the souls of these mercenary members could return to the Fountain of Life. The elves believed that only in this way could the dead elves be reborn.

Other second-level strongmen who were willing to enter the Dark Land actually had some ideas of their own.

Some elf strongmen were looking for rare magic materials in the Dark Land, because once the Dark Gate was sealed, it would become more difficult to get those magic materials...

Some strong elves venture into the dark place to find their relatives lost in the dark place.

Of course, there are also some elves who enter the Dark Land wanting to become witchers...

Most of the second-level powerhouses are surrounded by some followers, and these followers are also warriors in their peak period.

Roy's main role in the team is to use the power of holy light to dispel the darkness in everyone every three days and purify the negative emotions that have arisen in everyone's hearts.

Although the second-level experts are not easily affected by the energy of darkness, they will be corroded by the energy of darkness if they stay in the dark place for a long time...

…

On the eighth day when this adventure group of strong men entered the dark land, the adventure group built a temporary camp under a huge rock.

Roy used a hammer to drive an iron drill into the hard soil and tied a cable. Recently, he had consumed too much of the power of the Holy Light, and he felt a little tired easily no matter what he did.

He put down the hammer in his hand and happened to see the Dalakli magician hiding in the corner ending his meditation and slowly opening his eyes.

He looked at Roy curiously and couldn't help but ask him:

"Roy, as a priest, don't you need to pray every day?"

Roy returned the hammer to Linglan Bronzebeard, the red-bearded dwarf uncle, and then said to the great magician whose true age could not be seen:

"I don't believe in the Statue of Liberty, so I rarely pray."

The great magician Dalakli asked curiously:

"Then where does your power of holy light come from?"

Roy thought carefully before replying:

"When I was in the Elf Continent, the power of Holy Light was floating around my body. They were very small, like dust in the air. I can absorb these particles of Holy Light to keep the power of Holy Light in my body full. state."

The great magician Dalakli waved his hand, asked Roy to come to his side, and continued:

"But there are almost no particles of holy light in the air in the dark place, so what do you do?"

The surroundings had darkened, and some dark creatures began to wake up, and they began to swim slowly in the air.

Roy said: "The situation was better at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Army camp. At least there was only a Dark Door away from Golfito, and there was a holy pool in the camp. The power of the Holy Light could soon be recover."

"When you enter the depths of the Dark Land, it becomes much more difficult to restore the power of the Holy Light. However, for this trip, I also brought some holy water here. I hope I can hold on for a while longer."

The great magician Dalakli recited a very simple word of Warcraft, and casually tore open a magic scroll. His movements were as casual as tearing off a piece of tissue paper, and then a translucent ice cover separated him and Roy. Covered inside.

Roy was originally going to return to the tent, but now that he had this magic ice cover, he decided to sit there for a while...

"Are you a great magician?" Roy asked.

The great magician Dalakli nodded and admitted: "Well, I did it a long time ago, but it's a pity that I have never been able to become a third-turn mage."

"I'm very curious about what kind of existence a second-turn great magician is. Can you tell me about it?" Roy asked humbly for advice.

The great magician Dalakli didn't know how to explain, so he chose a language acceptable to Roy and said:

"How to put it, when your elemental affinity is high enough, you can use the power of magic to temporarily possess an elemental body, enter the elemental world, and sign a magic contract with elemental creatures."

"In this way, when you fight, you can use your body as a bridge and rely on your elemental contract partners to borrow a large amount of elemental power from the elemental world in a short period of time, so that you can cast fourth-level group magic, such as the one most commonly used by water elf magicians. Group magic is a blizzard, fire magicians can cast meteors and fire showers, wind magicians can cast tornadoes, etc..."

"There is no water here, can we cast blizzard?" Roy asked.

The great magician Dalakli said casually:

"Of course it is possible. In fact, we have found through research that the elements of wind, fire, water and earth, or between light and darkness, can theoretically transform into each other. There are a large number of earth elements and wind elements here. We Normally, we can recover mana through meditation, and we can use our contract partners to perform advanced group magic during combat, so whether there is water here does not affect our ability to perform water magic."

Roy was slightly startled. This was the first time he heard the great magician explain the relationship between magic elements.

I don't know what happened, but Roy remembered the law of conservation of energy, so he said:

"My physics teacher Mister Dasheng once said something, and now that I think about it, it seems to make sense. He said that energy will neither be created nor disappear out of thin air, it will only be transformed from one form into another. form, or transferred from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains the same."

"This sentence seems to be quite philosophical."

Byron Thor poked his head out of the tent at this time and said something.

At this time, the great magician Dalakli seemed to be frozen in place, and the hand on his chest never fell.

He pondered for a long time before he woke up. There was a strange light in his eyes. He praised Roy and asked:

"This sentence is so good that it can be written into a magic book! This Mister Victory must be a great magician, right? But what is physics? Is it a subject of magic?"

Roy felt that he had let something slip and didn't know how to bring the topic back, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Physics is a discipline that studies the basic structure of matter, such as the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth."

The eyes of the great magician Dalakli became brighter, and he said excitedly:

"He is indeed a magician!"

Roy couldn't help but cover his forehead. He didn't want to talk about this topic at all.

...

In recent days, Roy's mind has been lingering with a question.

That is what the great magician Dalakli said: the elements of wind, fire, water and earth can be transformed into each other.

Then, it is actually possible for light and darkness to transform into each other.

The priests have been walking in the dark land, and they have never been able to absorb the power of holy light in the dark land. The farther they go, the more difficult it becomes to obtain the power of holy light.

Recently, Roy can only rely on holy water to slowly recover the power of holy light. Unfortunately, the power of holy light he consumes is much more than what he draws from holy water.

In recent days, Roy could not sense the presence of holy light particles around his body. As the effect of holy water became weaker and weaker, the holy light power in Roy's body continued to decrease.

He tried to sit under the Holy Light Tree to meditate, but it was useless.

Although the Holy Light Tree emitted soft holy light, it could not restore the holy light power in his body.

In addition, the light flowers on the Holy Light Tree were withering every day.

It was unknown how far the road to the Isnes Expeditionary Camp would take.

There was gravel and rubble everywhere. Roy followed the team and moved forward with difficulty. His physical strength had been overdrawn. He had to drink a physical potion every morning and evening.

There was no water or light in the dark land, and dark creatures were everywhere.

Travelers walking in the dark must be careful to deal with all this.

When building a temporary camp, Roy failed to hold the hammer in his hand tightly, and the hammer fell on the sand, almost hitting his toes.

Lanling Bronzebeard quickly asked him to sit aside to rest, and picked up the hammer to complete the next work.

Roy's body became a little weak, so he chose a quiet corner next to the tent to rest.

It is said that every priest in the dark land, if there is no holy vessel to protect him, will be in the same predicament as Roy.

Roy took out a water bag from his waist bag, uncorked it and drank some holy water.

The meager power of holy light can only give Roy's body a slight relief. If he wants to fully restore the power of holy light in Roy's body, he probably has to soak him in the holy water pool...
