Path of Light.

Chapter 574 575. The Forgotten Heir

Although the half-elf warriors of the mine guards usually only move around in the area around the camp and the canyon entrance, their special identities still earn them the cold stares of other Silver Moon elves.

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

The aroma of fruit tea often wafts out of the camp, and the Silver Moon Elf Knights no longer need to take a bath by the waterfall by the lake outside the valley, which makes the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights live very comfortably.

The patrol mission is completed by flying over the valley three times a day, morning, noon and evening.

The mine guards did not receive any patrol or garrison missions. During this time, Roy and his half-elf warriors had been paving the road from the Statue of Liberty to the canyon entrance.

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

Currently, some elven magicians from the Magic Guild, the high priests from the Moon Temple, and the elven knights from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom have gathered in the Statue of Liberty.

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

Fundamentally solve the problem of the Dark Portal being blocked on the Elf Continent.

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

Elf magicians actually already possess elemental bodies. Not only can they travel through the elemental world, 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 aura from continuing to spread in Golfito Canyon.

However, the high priests of the Moon Temple did not want the magicians of the Magic Guild to guard the Dark Portal alone. They wanted to build a Moon Well in front of the Dark Portal and seal the Dark Portal with the power of moonlight to deter the dark creatures that were preparing to sneak into the Elf Continent.

Inside the lobby of the Statue of Liberty, the Magic Guild and the Moon Temple each held on to their own opinions and could not compromise. As 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 runes with the Moon Temple.

The task of sealing the Dark Portal was therefore delayed.

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

I heard that the magicians of the Magic Guild and the high priests of the Moon Temple quarreled every day in the lobby on the first floor of the Statue of Liberty, 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 canyon entrance.

Roy took some half-elf warriors on a magic airship back to the city of Murayaki 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 Felec Manor with a letter written by Viscount Felec.

This manor is located in a large forest. The carriage drove along the forest path for a long time before seeing a giant towering tree. The tree was almost two hundred meters high. Its huge crown covered a large area of ​​the mountain and blended perfectly with the surrounding woods.

It looks like a building. The trunk is more than fifty meters in diameter, but there are hundreds of steps built on the exposed roots...

The carriage stopped at the bottom of the steps. 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 town of Castletown.

Especially this giant towering tree that has been alive for who knows how many years. From the outside, it looks more majestic than a skyscraper.

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

"Are you Captain Roy?"

"It's me," Roy replied.

He had an indescribable feeling. Even though the butler's tone was very polite, Roy felt that he didn't think highly of him...

The butler bowed slightly to Roy and said:

"Please follow me!"

Turning around and climbing the stairs, the butler took Roy up the tall wooden steps and into the interior of 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 towering tree has a hollow trunk.

Countless vines hang down from the top of the trunk. These vines are covered with white roots that emit a faint white fluorescence, making the space inside the trunk look a little mysterious.

Walking up the circular staircase inside the giant tree, you will find a moonstone inlaid on the wooden wall every few steps. The soft light makes the steps appear light blue.

There were many Silver Moon Elves in the inner space of the tree trunk. When they saw the butler leading Roy in, they all cast curious glances at Roy.

After walking for a while, Roy finally discovered that the rooms opened up inside the tree trunk were linked together.

Each layer is a ring.

Roy followed the butler and went up five floors in one breath, which meant that he passed through the five circular areas inside the tree trunk. There were at least hundreds of rooms opened up in the tree 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 didn't look big, but it was decorated very warmly.

It should be a very private reception room. Although the room does not have a terrace, it has a round window. This round window is built in a grand manner. A soft wool blanket is spread on the windowsill. Sitting on the windowsill, you can overlook the view of the entire bay of Murayaki City.

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

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

"Captain Roy, please wait a moment." After saying that, the butler turned around and walked out of the room without even looking at the expression on Roy's face.

In the room, Roy first sat in the chair for a long time, then admired the scenery of Murayaki City by the window, feeling the shadows left by the sunlight passing 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 towards the door. A young Silver Moon Elf dressed in gorgeous aristocratic clothes walked in with a faint smile on his face.

His chin raised slightly and his eyes narrowed into a line as he looked at Roy.

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

Without waiting for Roy to respond, he nodded slightly to Roy: "Thank you for taking care of him for so long."

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

The young Silver Moon Elf was slightly startled, then 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 turns out that it was Earl Macaulay who helped..."

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

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

The young Silver Moon Elf didn't expect Roy to say this... He thought about it carefully before saying:
"He has caused so much trouble this time. Earl Stasa has been looking for trouble with the Felak family in Murayaki City. In the past month and a half, the Felak family's assets in Murayaki City have shrunk by nearly one third. The only strategy we can choose now is to continue to consolidate the family's assets and strive to minimize the losses this time."

"As for my brother, I... um, the family thinks that it's best for him 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 things over, but many of the family's businesses have suffered heavy losses. It's best to wait until things calm down before making other considerations."

"Please tell him these words. My brother will be in your care for the next period of time!"

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

Led by the butler, Roy left the Feleck family estate.

It was not until Roy boarded the carriage and sat back on the double-row sofa that he could only sigh softly. He had never expected that even such a noble family of Silver Moon Elf would have a power struggle among its heirs.

It seems... Viscount Felec has been abandoned by his family.

……

Roy returned to Golfito Canyon on the magic airship.

The magic airship landed in the lake outside the canyon, and all the half-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 had a stronger fishy smell.

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

It looks like the plan to seal the Dark Portal in Golfito Canyon is imminent.

All the supplies were piled up in the camp, and we finally finished all the tasks.

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 came in from outside the camp with a team of Silver Pegasus Knights. When he heard that Captain Roy had returned to the camp, he ran over to Roy and said to him with a smile:
"Tomorrow, the leaders of our various legions are invited to the Statue of Liberty to discuss matters concerning the Dark Portal. Captain Roy, would you like 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 around, he wanted to see where they had lived.

"Can I go?"

Roy asked uncertainly, sitting up from the wicker chair.

"of course can!"

Captain Malthus laughed and said:

"But... you know, right? 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 lobby of the Statue of Liberty and participate in this meeting, we can only be observers at best."

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

Hearing Roy's interesting words, Captain Malthus waved his hand at Roy:
"Then it's settled!"

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

Life in the canyon completely calmed down the impetuous Viscount Felec. He wore simple leather armor, carried an elven longbow on his back, and had two pots of feather arrows hanging on his waist. His right arm looked a little red and swollen, and it seemed that he had gone to the archery training ground to practice archery.

Roy invited Viscount Feleck into his tent...

Viscount Felec also wanted to ask what news the family had brought back. In the past, when he got into trouble like this, his father always came forward to solve the problem for him, and he only needed to hide outside for a while before returning to Murayaki City.

Roy sat opposite Viscount Feleck and did not speak.

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

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

"Captain Roy, are you a priest?"

Roy nodded and said, "Your arm is badly strained. If you continue to practice, you will probably hurt your arm tendons. I worked as an apprentice priest at the Statue of Liberty in Castletown for a while, so I learned some divine arts."

Roy hesitated for a moment and continued:
"This time when I went to your manor, I didn't see Count Felec. The person who came out to meet me was your brother..."
