Path of Light.

Chapter 577 Chapter 578. Exorcism
Viscount Felec looked at Roy who walked into the captain's room and felt that this young half-elf leader was really mysterious.

Count Stasa's killing order against him has not been rescinded, and the Felec family is staying out of the matter, which makes him a little depressed.

But while hiding in the barracks of the Golfito Canyon Mine Guard, he could feel the goodwill conveyed to him by those half-elf warriors.

Roy has a high reputation in the Guards.

Basically, whatever Roy wants to do, no matter what decision he makes, it can be fully implemented in the mine guard group.

And Viscount Felec was only accepted by this group of half-blood elf warriors after Roy's approval...

These half-elf warriors did not care about his noble status, nor did they sympathize with his current difficult situation.

He could move freely within the mine guard area without restriction, all because of Roy's care for him.

Viscount Felec saw this very clearly.

However, as the deputy commander of the Murayaki City Security Guard, Viscount Feleck couldn't understand how Roy accumulated his prestige.

The nine magic airships parked by the lake gave him a huge shock. The hulls of these magic airships were transformed from three-masted sailing ships that were more than 60 meters long and had three masts on the deck. The floating devices fixed on both sides of the ship's side would leak out a trace of magic energy even when they stopped working.

The Silver Moon elves are very disgusted with goblin technology, so there has never been any magic airship on the elven continent.

Now, nine magic airships were parked by the lake in a dignified manner...

It is said that these magic airships came from the Partington plane.

Compared to the highly flexible and maneuverable Silver Pegasus, the convenience of the magic airship is that it can transport supplies to any place that cannot be reached by vehicles and horses.

Golfito Canyon is located deep in the Veranos Mountains. The priests of the Statue of Liberty did build a passage through the mountains, but the road is not easy to travel.

As a local who grew up in the city of Murayaki, Viscount Feleck had a deep impression of this road.

……

Roy finished talking to Captain Onacon and walked out of the captain's room. Seeing Viscount Feleck standing on the top of the ship, he looked up at him and smiled and asked:

"Would you like a drink?"

Viscount Feleck looked at Roy in surprise:

"May I?"

After all, the mine guards are currently on a mission, and although the elven army does not have a clear alcohol ban, drinking in this situation is not a good idea after all.

Roy shook his head slightly, indicating that it didn't matter.

So two chairs and a small table were placed on the terrace on the top of the ship, but unfortunately there was no parasol.

Roy and Viscount Feleck sat on the chairs, looking at the clear and calm lake in front of them.

There was a bottle of orange wine on the table. This kind of fruit wine had a low alcohol content and tasted sweet with a hint of orange flavor. It was very popular among the elves.

In fact, Viscount Feleck rarely comes into contact with fruit wine of this grade.

Now when I pick up the cup and take a sip, I actually feel that it has a unique flavor.

Neither of them spoke, and in fact they had nothing in common to talk about, so they just sat quietly at the small table.

There is a stream opposite the lake, and clear water continuously flows into the lake. At the end of the stream is a spring on the hillside of the opposite mountain. The clear spring water is very clean.

The Silver Pegasus Knights would take the Silver Pegasus to the stream to drink water every day.

Several female Silver Moon elves riding unicorns passed through the woods by the lake. They stood on the shore of the lake, in the shallow water. They had to raise their hands high to reach the unicorn's strong, mane-covered neck. They were bathing the unicorn with a brush.

These Silver Moon Elf girls were actually Unicorn Knights, which made Roy take a second look.

Viscount Feleck looked at the unicorns and introduced them to Roy:

"They are knights of the Seventh Unicorn Knights. They are quite famous in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. Almost all the Silver Moon elves who can join the Unicorn Knights are children of nature. It is said that when the Moonlight Goddess secretly came to the Elf Continent to help the elves, she rode a unicorn and often appeared in the woods filled with moonlight."

Roy looked away, put a piece of ice in the cup with tongs, and then said:

"I grew up in Castletown, and I never saw Unicorn Knights there, so I was very curious about them."

Viscount Feleck smiled slightly and said, "I know. That is the jurisdiction of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. If there is no war, the Unicorn Knights will hardly appear there."

Roy continued to ask: "Did you have any premonition of the sudden incident in Golfito Canyon in Murayaki City?"

Viscount Felec thought for a moment before saying, "In fact, the Statue of Liberty is in Golfito Canyon and has been recruiting priests from various regions. Murayaki is the closest port to Golfito Canyon. Many priests arrive in Murayaki by boat and then take a carriage or horse to Golfito."

He paused, then continued:
"In recent years, a large number of priests have entered Golfito Canyon almost every month. A few years ago, a large group of mercenaries also poured into Golfito. Although many mercenaries left later, they were definitely not as many as when they first came."

Roy didn't expect that the Silver Moon Elves were aware of Golfito's actions. He always thought that the Silver Moon Elves were silent and that the Statue of Liberty had done a good job of keeping it secret.

But when he saw the written descriptions in the stone chamber, he realized that his idea was a bit too naive.

Such a big thing, and organizing an expedition into the dark land, how could the Silver Moon Elves not notice it at all?

Roy asked Viscount Feleck:
"So you guys knew about the expedition of the Statue of Liberty over here in Golfito Canyon?"

As expected by Roy, Viscount Feleck said very naturally:

"Of course they know! But they didn't ask us for help, so we don't know much." Seeing Viscount Feleck looking at him, Roy explained:
"When I lived in Castletown, I also worked as a novice priest in the Temple of the Statue of Liberty. About six years ago, my teacher left the Temple of the Statue of Liberty in Castletown and went to Golfito alone. I was still a novice priest at the time, so I chose to stay in Castletown."

Viscount Felec raised his eyebrows. Six years ago, this half-elf boy was just an apprentice priest of the Statue of Liberty. So what kind of opportunity allowed him to become the leader of the mine guards in just six years...

Viscount Feleck asked curiously:
"You were also an apprentice priest, so why did you join the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion?"

In order to make his question seem less abrupt, Viscount Feleck continued:

"As far as I know, half-blood elf infantry regiments are still rare in the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom. Although His Majesty Ansel has always wanted to form a half-blood elf regiment, it has always been strongly opposed by the Silvermoon Elf nobles. I didn't expect that Lord Swinburne would accomplish this without saying a word!"

Roy could imagine... probably all the Silver Moon Elf officers here would have the same question.

"Although our mine guard regiment is affiliated with the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, it is only the mine guard regiment of the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane. It is an external corps of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. Its main responsibility is to protect the half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau and the mines." Roy explained tactfully.

Viscount Feleck's curiosity was aroused, so he continued to ask:

"Then why were you sent to Golfito Canyon this time?"

"After the naval battle at the Queen Eweni Islands, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion was seriously short of manpower. We actually came to Sheephorn Fjord to help with the rescue. Now we have no choice but to garrison at Golfito Canyon." Roy said frankly, "These magic airships were also requisitioned from the Partington plane."

Viscount Felek patted his forehead and said with admiration: "I saw your naval battle on Io Island with my own eyes. When those magic airships broke through the clouds, the gray dwarves were almost all dumbfounded."

Then Viscount Feleck explained:
“In fact, those gray dwarf bandits also have magic airships. I have seen them more than once in Sheephorn Fjord.

However, their magic airships had to face the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom. Every time the magic airships of the gray dwarf bandits sneaked into the territorial waters of the Silvermoon Elf Kingdom, they would be driven out by the Silver Pegasus Knights, and sometimes they could only make an emergency landing on the sea.

Once, a large fleet of gray dwarf bandits entered the sea off the Sheephorn Sound. At that time, there were about twenty magic airships in the fleet. They made quite a lot of noise and attacked many of our ships. Later, the Ninth Silver Pegasus Legion stationed in the Yilinga Camp sent a large number of Silver Pegasus Knights to shoot down thirteen magic airships, forcing the gray dwarf bandit fleet to escape from the sea off the Sheephorn Sound in disgrace.

Since then, the magic airships of the gray dwarf bandits have never appeared in the waters of the Silver Moon Elves again. "

Viscount Feleck told Roy many stories about the battlefield, which he listened to with great interest.

……

In addition to patrolling every day, Captain Malthus also had to attend meetings in the main hall of the Statue of Liberty, but the meetings basically consisted of endless quarrels between the magicians and the high priests.

Roy would occasionally go and listen, and he understood some things.

The topic of the dispute between the two sides was no longer the setting of the sealing magic circle or the construction of the moon well, but the upper limit of the number of mages that the Magic Guild could send to Golfito.

According to Captain Malthus, the Magic Guild's sealing magic circle has already begun to be set up, and the specifications of this sealing magic circle are also extremely high.

Not only has the Magic Guild transferred a large amount of supplies from various places, but in the end a fourth-level legendary wizard will come from other planes to perform the sealing ceremony in person.

There was no news from the Moon Temple. Although the priests had begun planning to build a Moon Well in the back garden of the Statue of Liberty, the plan remained on paper.

During several meetings in the main hall, the priests of the Moon Temple were often ridiculed in person by the magicians of the Magic Guild because of this matter.

……

Ever since Roy discovered the wooden plank path in the stone chamber on the mountain wall, he often ran into the stone chamber to read the notes left by the priests on the stone wall.

In fact, when High Priest Reed left Castletown, Roy was just a small priest who could not master advanced divine arts.

Although High Priest Reed left Roy a notebook of experience, Roy actually did not have a deep understanding of divine arts.

He didn't even know what the difference was between a combat priest and a temple priest.

The combat priest mainly practices the art of Holy Seal and the art of Judgement, and also practices exorcism. He is a powerful warrior in the Temple of the Statue of Liberty.

Temple priests are auxiliary priests, specializing in blessing and healing arts, and also practicing exorcism.

The divine arts that High Priest Reed had learned were almost all blessing arts, and he was more of an auxiliary-oriented priest.

Roy would spend some time every day in the stone chamber to pray and study divine arts, and the tree of holy light in his body was also growing rapidly.

He was wandering around in these stone chambers and accidentally saw an explanation of the magic of exorcism on a stone wall. The priest had carved a long paragraph on the stone wall, just to accuse the priests of the Statue of Liberty of only being willing to practice holy seals and judgments, or practicing healing and blessings. Most of the priests ignored the magic of exorcism.

He felt that the priests walking in the world should not only spread the teachings of the Statue of Liberty, but also eliminate evil spirits and resentful souls for the believers of the Statue of Liberty.

A true priest should not mainly practice the divine arts of holy seals, judgment, blessings, and healing, but should learn to exorcise evil spirits.

Roy learned two exorcism spells from High Priest Reed: Glimmer Illumination and Purification. Glimmer Illumination allowed Roy to see the undead creatures around him, while Purification was used to purify some weak undead creatures.

In fact, purification magic cannot purify those powerful undead creatures. If you want to purify these undead creatures, you must defeat them and then use purification magic to completely eliminate them.

According to what the priest said on the stone wall, the real magic to exorcise evil spirits is the Holy Light Bullet, the Holy Flame, and the Fist of Heaven.

However, the threshold for these exorcism magics is quite high. Only by being promoted to a high priest can one have sufficient divine power to release holy light bullets.

If you want to learn the Holy Flame, you must successfully advance to the second-level combat priest, so that you can learn...

The entire stone wall was filled with explanations about exorcism magic. Roy discovered that High Priest Reed had not even mentioned the Holy Light Bullet in his notes, so he became curious about what kind of magic the Holy Light Bullet was.

Just on the stone wall on the other side, the divine patterns and prayers of the Holy Light Bullet were completely recorded. Roy quickly turned to the last page of High Priest Reed's notes, took out a quill pen, dipped it in his saliva, and began to record the divine spell engraved on the stone wall.

After he recorded the complete "Holy Light Bullet", Roy finally understood why High Priest Reed had not mentioned this divine art to him. It turned out that the Holy Light Bullet was the one that consumed the most divine power among the divine arts of the same level...
