Path of light

Chapter 680 681. The first abduction of the Knights Templar

Every time there is a spring tide, the seawater below the Black Pearl will rise to a depth of more than one meter. Tiffany took Moira to swim in the shallow water. The sea was relatively calm, and the two of them even snorkeled in the reef area.

The three-color fish tail of Miss Mermaid reflects dazzlingly in the sun. Only when you look down from above can you see her swaying figure in the water.

Miss Tiffany turned over in the sea. When she was facing up, she saw several figures appearing on the Black Pearl through the clear water.

"I think I saw Roy."

Miss Tiffany turned her body and surfaced. The sea water continued to flow down her cheeks and hair. Her bulging breasts revealed amazing curves under the restraints of her swimsuit...

She raised her white lotus-like right arm and waved vigorously towards the Black Pearl.

Roy was on the deck, with his upper body leaning out of the side of the ship, waving back.

When Miss Tiffany saw that there seemed to be strangers on board the Black Pearl, she immediately hid her body in the seawater.

Moira hid behind the rocks and poked her head out to look at the Black Pearl...

She was wearing a black sea animal skin tights, and crystal water droplets dripped down her cheeks, revealing the delicate appearance of a mixed-blood elf girl...

She saw Roy's gesture to her, which was telling her to go home and talk at night. Moira understood it, so she took Miss Mermaid's hand and said:

"Tiffany, we are swimming over there..."

…

Captain Jeroin discovered a very strange thing after boarding the ship. The main mast of the ship was actually a living tree, and green branches were growing in some parts of the entire hull. This ship was stranded on the sea. The boat was actually full of life.

In his opinion, an old stranded ship should be full of decay, but here it is full of life.

There is actually a naga mermaid swimming with a mixed elf girl in the sea. When did the relationship between elves and naga become so good?

A half-dry shark-pattern long skirt hung on the clothesline on the deck. Walking up the stairs on the side of the ship, countless divine glimmers of light fell from the stairs like snowflakes.

Captain Jeroin held his breath, fearing that he would blow away these sacred glimmers of light when he exhaled.

Captain Flint, who was following behind, also showed the same expression as Captain Jeroin...

Roy led the two group leaders up the stairs and came to the flower garden on the roof. He saw the flowers of light blooming all over the garden. Countless particles of holy light condensed from the heart of the flower, and then they looked like tiny Like dust floating in the flower garden.

Some particles of holy light fell down the stairs, and Captain Jeroin felt that countless holy lights surrounded his body, which suddenly accelerated the recovery speed of his power of holy light...

Just like Roy said, it really works!

The two captains, Jeroin and Flint, looked at each other, with uncontrollable expressions of excitement in their eyes.

"Ahem, Captain Roy, can we buy some Flowers of Light from you?" Captain Jeroin asked Roy.

"The Flower of Light is not valuable here in the Elf Continent. I can give you a few pots and you need to cultivate them yourself. However, the Flower of Light is a bit delicate and needs the special care of a gardener who is proficient in plant cultivation, or a Drew who is proficient in botany. Yi is fine too.”

Roy pointed to these flowers of light in the flower garden and said to Captain Jeroin:

"These Flowers of Light in the flower garden are bred from one Flower of Light. To be honest, they are really difficult to grow..."

As Roy said this, he moved several pots of Flowers of Light off the shelf and handed them to Captain Jeloin and Captain Flint.

"If you want the Flower of Light, you can come to me at any time."

Captain Jeroin did not expect Roy to be so generous and quickly thanked him.

…

At the deep-water dock of Castletown Port, more than a dozen merchant ships from the Green Empire are parked here. There is almost no wind on the sea. These large sailing ships unfold their sails and expose them to the scorching sun to ensure that the sails are dry enough. Avoid being soaked in seawater and rotten prematurely.

Imperial businessman Darwin was sitting at the conference table, talking to Roy and two human priests.

The two priests Jeroyne and Flint looked surprised. Two calendars were placed in front of them. Captain Jeroyne kept flipping through the two old calendars, as well as books on basic modern chronicles, which were also scattered. On the conference table.

Jeroin and Captain Flint were bombarded by the news that Darwin had brought them. They didn't know what to say...

They were like two people from the ancient Green Empire who traveled through more than two hundred years of time and space and came to the present.

During the conversation just now, the imperial businessman Darwin also realized something very important. The two human priests in front of him were actually over two hundred years old.

Almost all the things they talked about happened more than two hundred years ago. The key point is that they are only in their forties or fifties. It can be seen that their bodies are quite young, and they should be in the state of middle-aged people...

In fact, Darwin, who has been in business for many years, initially thought that the two men might be liars.

They just happen to know the history of that year, or they are simply historians from the Green Empire who came to the Elf Continent to commit fraud, deceived Captain Roy, and were led by Captain Roy who was kept in the dark. Come on board to deceive them.

However, through chatting, I discovered that they seemed to be human priests from more than two hundred years ago. They were members of the Knights of Bishop O'Casey.

Back then, Bishop Ocasi disappeared with the entire Knights in the Green Empire. This was not only recorded in the history of the Statue of Liberty, but also in the major events of the Green Empire over the years. However, the news was strictly blocked at the time, and there were only a few words in this part of the record.

Darwin believed that what Captain Jelloin said might be true, mainly because Captain Jelloin did not ask for anything from him.

Perhaps the only request was to take a merchant ship back to Roland Continent, but Captain Jelloin also took the initiative to buy a ticket to board the ship.

Just now, Captain Jelloin and Darwin had a transaction. Captain Jelloin took out a large number of very rare dark monster materials and sold them to the imperial merchant Darwin.

"... So, does the Statue of Liberty in the Green Empire no longer exist?" Roy asked Darwin.

Darwin smiled bitterly and nodded: "Most of the Statue of Liberty Temples have been abandoned, and all the priests are missing. It is said that the few Statue of Liberty Temples that still exist are related to the imperial family, but those priests also stayed in the temples honestly and did not participate in the plane war. Since the priests could not join the army to fight, the Imperial Knights became very vulnerable, so the army's demand for life potions increased sharply. Now that the plane war has broken out, we have no choice but to cross the Endless Sea and go to the Elf Continent to buy magic herbs."

"Are you saying that there is not a single priest in the entire Green Empire?"

"It can't be said that there is no priest, it can only be said that it is difficult to find..."

Captain Jeroin looked a little ugly. If the Statue of Liberty Temple of the Green Empire no longer exists, then what is the point of them rushing back thousands of miles? If they are not careful, they will be labeled as deserters in the Temple Expeditionary Force.

"Who is the King of the Green Empire now?"

"Your Majesty Charles, the Crown Prince is His Royal Highness Charles, but the prince who has been increasingly popular in the country recently is the Prince of Wales, who is currently the most valuable general in the Green Empire."

Captain Jeroin shook his head repeatedly. He was once a combat priest in the Royal Griffin Knights.

But he had never even heard of the names of these royal family members...

No wonder the Statue of Liberty has never contacted them. It turns out that the Statue of Liberty has also experienced major changes in the Green Empire...

Or maybe the only thing that has not changed is their Templar Knights. They are like being frozen in the cage of time. When they walk out of the cage, they find that the world of the main plane is no longer what it used to be.

Even if they return to the Green Empire on the Roland Continent, they cannot live in the Statue of Liberty.

The plane war in the Green Empire broke out, and the priests of the Statue of Liberty left the Green Empire long ago to protect themselves.

If they rush back now, they may not be able to do anything except being criticized and scolded by countless people...

Captain Jeroin and Captain Flint are already a little lost. Although they try their best to keep a polite smile on their faces, the expressions in their eyes are like two homeless children...

Captain Jeroin did not mention returning to Roland Continent by boat again.

Roy took Captain Jeroin and Captain Flint away from the Imperial merchant ship. The two captains were silent all the way.

It turns out that the Dark Land is the final destination of the priests...

If they are still in the Dark Land, although the living environment is a little harder, they will definitely not have this kind of distress of being abandoned...

Now that they have left the Dark Land, it is impossible for them to go back.

They were also abandoned by the Statue of Liberty...

...

Roy and Moira met in a hurry, and did not even go to the alchemy workshop to visit Woods, and hurriedly took the boat back to the Partington plane.

There was really no other way. Roy had a lot of things to deal with personally on the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane, and he also needed to personally determine the current expansion plan of the Plateau City.

Captain Jeroin and Captain Flint returned to the manor outside the city of Padstow and told the human priests in the Knights Templar all the information they had found out without reservation.

All the human priests fell silent at once.

No priest continued to pray. They gathered together in a state of despair. They were at a loss for life after losing their faith.

Everyone was whispering about how to live in the future.

Some priests even thought that they should find a cave in the deep mountains and swamps and become a hermit isolated from the world.

...

The night before leaving Padstow.

Roy came to the manor outside the city to visit Captain Jeroin. The manor was silent.

He came to Captain Jelloin and asked him:

"Are you really not going to return to Roland Continent?"

Captain Jelloin was staring at the withering flower of light on the table in a daze. Hearing Roy's question, he smiled bitterly and said:

"Even if we return to Roland Continent, what will happen? Now the entire Statue of Liberty is gone. Can we rebuild it in Roland Continent?"

After that, he clasped his hands together devoutly, closed his eyes and began to recite a prayer.

After a while, Captain Jelloin opened his eyes without any reaction and said to Roy:

"Roy, look... our prayers have no reaction, which means that we have been abandoned by the goddess. Without the goddess' blessing, we can no longer perform any divine arts..."

"Can't you still quickly absorb the power of holy light through the flower of light?"

Roy said looking at the almost completely withered pot of flower of light on the table.

"After I brought it back from Castletown, it quickly withered because it was not acclimatized to the soil and environment. I tried several methods, but unfortunately I couldn't save him." Captain Jeroin showed a hint of helplessness in his eyes. .

"I told you, you need to hire a Druid who is proficient in botany to help you cultivate these flowers of light!" Roy looked at Captain Jeroin with wide eyes and continued to encourage him:

"In Roland Continent and the Land of Darkness, it may be difficult to find an Elf Druid, but in the Elf Continent, it shouldn't be too difficult to find an Elf Druid. You can try your luck at the Mercenary Guild, Jay. Luoyin."

"We don't want to show up in Padstow, that might get you into trouble!"

Roy didn't expect Captain Jeroin to say this.

"Then follow me to Sun Island Bay. There are seas, beaches, and small islands in the sea. A brand-new seaside town is being built there. You can go there to relax first and try out the slow-moving elves. Life, I can help you build a larger greenhouse there to cultivate a large number of flowers of light."

"I can't do these things here in Padstow City, but in Sun Island Bay, everything is up to me!"

Roy said to Captain Jeroin confidently.

"It won't take long... you will be able to see the flowers of light in the garden. Although there is no Holy Light from the Statue of Liberty, but you absorb the particles of Holy Light scattered by the Flowers of Light, it is estimated that it will not be much worse than the blessing of the Statue of Liberty. many……"

Captain Jeroin froze on the spot...

"I will leave Padstow City on a magic airship tomorrow morning. If you have this idea, you must tell me as soon as possible. After all, I have to transport three thousand priests, and I need to mobilize all the capacity of the airport terminal." Roy said to Captain Jeroin said.

"If you want to live in a suburban manor, you can stay here and occasionally go to Padstow City, but you must control the number of members entering the city..."

Roy gave instructions to Captain Jeroin.

After saying this, Roy was ready to leave the suburban manor. The magic airship was currently loaded with cargo and parked at the airport terminal, just waiting for him to board the ship tomorrow morning and set off for the plateau city.

In fact, Roy also thinks that the Partington plane is a very suitable plane for these human priests to live in seclusion. If they want to stay in the Partington plane, Roy can also help...

The carriage was waiting in the yard of the manor. Roy walked out of the wooden house and was about to get into the carriage...

Captain Jeroin, who was following behind, suddenly called Roy, and then he hesitated before saying:

"Captain Roy, we want to move to Sun Island Bay to live for a while..."
