Path of Light.

Chapter 582 583. Conditions
A group of Silver Moon Elf leaders followed the temple priest, listening to him chattering about the daily operations of the entire expedition camp.

This expeditionary camp can be said to be the rear base of the Dark Land after the priests of the Statue of Liberty abandoned the Statue of Liberty in Golfito Canyon...

Judging from the actions of these three priests, they seem to want to give this expedition camp to the Silver Moon Elf Army.

All the priests in the camp were preparing for the trip. What they carried the most was the holy water from the pool, which surprised Roy.

In fact, there was a human face among the leaders of a group of Silver Moon elves, which made these priests a little confused.

The Silvermoon elves are a bit proud, and always like to live in the glory of the former elven dynasty. They are very hostile to half-elves, and it is even more impossible for them to allow a human to become an officer in the Silvermoon Elf Army.

Roy happened to be among these Silver Moon Elf officers...

"It is midnight in the Dark Land right now. Usually, there are very few dark creatures in this valley at this time. Even if they do appear, they will be revealed under the red curtain. Therefore, this is the best time for us to go out."

"Once the Dark Land becomes completely dark, the 'day' will come for the dark creatures here."

"At this time, a large number of dark creatures will be active everywhere. Although the dark creatures here also have a sense of territory, the powerful dark creatures generally have extremely strong perception abilities. Generally, they can sense outsiders who have no means of hiding from several kilometers away."

"So you should try to hide in the expeditionary camp during this period of time. This place is actually quite secretive..."

The temple priest walked out of a magic tower and continued to tell the Silver Moon Elf officers about the characteristics of the Dark Land.

Roy hid among the elf officers as low-key as possible. When they arrived at the pool, Roy found that there were no holy objects in the water, but the whole pool was filled with a strong sacred atmosphere and the water was full of the power of holy light.

Although the temple priest did not tell the elven officers explicitly: the pool contains holy water, you must cherish it.

Instead, it was telling that the holy water in the pool could restrain ordinary dark creatures. Many weak dark creatures were often like a shadow or black fog. The elf warriors could not cause any substantial damage to these dark creatures using ordinary fighting methods.

At this time, if you can sprinkle some holy water on these ordinary dark creatures, you can quickly get rid of these dark creatures.

However, the damage caused by holy water to high-level dark creatures is very limited, and it is often easy to anger those high-level dark creatures. Once these high-level dark creatures go crazy, they are also very dangerous.

The temple priest was standing by the holy water pool, telling a group of Silver Moon Elf officers how to survive in the dark land.

Roy felt that the Second Silver Pegasus Knights were a flying army and would have to patrol over the Golfito Canyon. As auxiliary troops of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights, they were considered to be serving the Second Silver Pegasus Knights and basically had no possibility of entering the dark land.

So Roy deserted among a group of Silver Moon Elf officers...

He felt that he probably had no chance of entering the dark land, and there were no priests in Golfito Canyon, so Roy squatted beside the pool, holding a small cooking pot, helping a priest fill the water bag with holy water.

Seeing that someone offered to help, the priest was very happy and thanked Roy.

"Are you also going to follow the expeditionary force and move deeper into the dark land?" Roy asked in a low voice.

"How is that possible! We priests are all old and in poor health. We were left behind by the expeditionary army because they didn't want us to be a burden to them..." The priest said to Roy with a helpless smile.

"Our expeditionary force is going to the depths of the Dark Land to search for the whereabouts of the goddess. We will stay behind to defend the camp behind for them." The old priest whispered, "Although this is the expeditionary camp, it is not the largest camp we have built in the Dark Land. Now that we have given up the Statue of Liberty in Golfito, we naturally don't want to guard the expeditionary camp at the Dark Portal..."

"It's just that our Archbishop Felix Mitchell once made a promise to the Silver Moon Elf King, that is, to guard the Dark Portal in exchange for the qualification to spread the teachings of the Statue of Liberty in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom."

"Now that the Silver Moon Elf Army has come to take over the Dark Portal, we can completely put everything aside and concentrate on finding our goddess!"

When the old priest said these words, his tone was full of matter-of-factness...

Roy looked at the old priest's wrinkled face, and his figure suddenly became extremely tall in Roy's sight.

"Do you know High Priest Reed?" Roy finally asked what was in his mind.

The old priest thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know him. There are at least hundreds of thousands of priests in the Elven Continent. I only know a small group of priests around me. But... if you want to find him, you can go to our largest Isness Expeditionary Force camp here and ask."

"Okay, there's no need to pretend anymore. I can't carry it no matter how much you pretend!" The old priest gave Roy a kind smile.

Roy quickly hung the small cooking pot on his lower back and helped the old priest carry the water bag.

……

After Commander Gabreth received a bunch of copper keys from the temple priest that symbolized the management rights of the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp, the priests who were waiting by the pool carried their heavy luggage and slowly walked out of the expeditionary camp through the passage under a magic tower.

These priests will head to the next expeditionary camp, which is said to allow them to be closer to the Statue of Liberty.

Legion Commander Gabrielle looked down at the hot copper key. The magicians of the Magic Guild were studying how to repair the Dark Portal, and the priests of the Moon Temple were trying to build the Moon Well. Therefore, the defense of the expeditionary camp on the Dark Portal side could only fall on the military.

Gabrielleth glanced at the faces of the Silver Moon Elf leaders in front of him.

No matter who he saw, the Silver Moon Elf Captain would look away guiltily, not daring to look Gabriel Reis in the eye... Gabriel Reis could sense that these Silver Moon Elf Captains did not want the Guard to come to the Dark Land to garrison.

He coughed lightly and asked the leaders of the Silver Moon Elves around him:

"Now that the expeditionary camp outside the Dark Portal is officially taken over by us, the Silver Moon Elves, which of your guard regiments is willing to come to this expeditionary camp to garrison?"

There was silence all around, and no one answered.

Legion Commander Gabreth's face darkened slightly, and he glanced around with a sharp gaze.

Roy was mixed in with the Silver Moon Elves' leaders, and he didn't want to answer...

But he was particularly eye-catching among the group of Silver Moon Elf captains. Captain Gabreth looked at Roy, who just lowered his head absent-mindedly.

Legion Commander Gabrielle looked at Roy in confusion, then whispered to the adjutant beside him. The adjutant immediately leaned close to Gabrielle's ear and whispered an explanation.

"Captain Roy!"

Legion Commander Gabreth actually called out Roy in public.

Roy immediately walked out of the crowd, stood in front of Legion Commander Gabreth, and saluted him.

"I heard that you defeated the fleet of the gray dwarf bandits in Sheephorn Fjord. I wonder if you are willing to lead the mine guards to garrison the expeditionary camp at the Dark Gate?"

Captain Gabreth asked with a smile.

He learned from his adjutant that Roy was the leader of the half-elf guard who had killed the descendant of the Silver Moon Elf nobles and was widely rumored in Buenos Aires. He didn't mind giving the young half-elf in front of him a difficult problem.

Even though he knew that Roy's mine guard regiment was an auxiliary force of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights, he still asked Roy this difficult question with a smile.

"Captain Gabreth, Captain Roy's guards are the auxiliary troops of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights. They are responsible for the logistics of our regiment in Golfito Canyon!"

Captain Malthus took the initiative to step forward and explain for Roy.

Legion Commander Gabrielle looked at the Knight Commander who was also from the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, narrowed his eyes, snorted and said:
"Even if Macaulay was standing in front of me, he wouldn't say that at this time... Malthus, are you going to reject me directly on behalf of Captain Roy? Don't you want to ask Captain Roy for his opinion?"

Captain Malthus was slightly startled. What he had just said was a bit too direct, which made Captain Gabreth feel a bit embarrassed...

Roy could only take the initiative to step forward and asked Captain Gabreth directly: "Captain, do you want my mine guards to guard the Dark Land Expeditionary Force camp?"

"We do have this plan!" Legion Commander Gabrielle Reis said bluntly.

Originally, he was just asking to test Roy and give him a hard time, but now he had no choice but to admit it...

"The mine guards are willing to accept the mission of guarding the Dark Gate!" Roy said quickly.

Roy was also very troubled. He had already thought of a reason to refuse, but before he could say it, Captain Malthus's kindness backfired.

"But you also know that my guard group is just a group of mine guards that was formed not long ago when Partington took over. The combat capabilities of my half-blood elf warriors are not very strong. Their bodies can't even resist the erosion of the dark aura in the dark land. So I hope that every half-blood elf warrior in the mine guard group can get a cup of undiluted life tree juice every two weeks to ensure the physical condition of the half-blood elf warriors."

Roy raised his hand and took the initiative to discuss the terms with Captain Gabreth.

In fact, this kind of military welfare treatment is a very normal thing for other Silver Moon Elf warriors, but this group of half-blood elf warriors of the mine guard regiment do not have such treatment.

The sap of life that the half-elf warriors usually drank was almost all bought by Roy at a high price from the black market in Castleton City.

Now that he had brought the mine guards to Golfito Canyon, the sap of the tree of life was naturally out of supply.

So, he proposed a condition that everyone could accept...

"Okay!" Legion Commander Gabrielle agreed without hesitation.

"Then how long do our mine guards have to stay here before we can change guard? After all, we are also auxiliary troops of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights." Roy continued to ask Captain Gabrielles.

"Rotation every six months, three times in total! After three years, the mine guard regiment can withdraw from the city of Golfito." Legion Commander Gabrieles said again.

"The dark creatures hunted in the dark land belong to the half-blood elf warriors of our guard regiment..."

Roy rolled his eyes and asked again.

"Can……"
