Path of Light.

Chapter 592 593. Mine Guard

In the wanderer camp, Evely, Lolepage, Stander and the dwarf warrior stood side by side, watching Roy walk into the wilderness alone.

"What do you think? I mean, is Roy trustworthy..."

Evely hugged her shoulders with her hands, the wrinkles on her facial features obscuring the original beauty of her fair face. Her eyes were still scrutinizing. Perhaps because she had experienced too much deception in the first half of her life, she was the kind of elf who would not easily trust others.

With her tall stature, she stands out among the three companions.

At this time, the half-blood elf Lorepaji rubbed his forehead and responded:
“I don’t quite understand.”

"Don't understand?" The other three companions looked at Lolepaj in astonishment, wanting to hear his explanation.

"He is very young and very powerful. He possesses the power of holy light, but he is not a believer of the Statue of Liberty... It seems contradictory, but we have to admit that this gives him a great advantage in the Dark Land. Did you see him take out the sap of the tree of life and elf biscuits and give them to those who helped him casually? It felt like he was taking something cheap like a glass of juice and a muffin." said the half-elf ranger Lorepage.

Evely crossed her arms and glared at the half-blood elf ranger in reproach:
"These things should be common in his life...what's so strange about this?"

"Although I haven't had much communication with him, I have a feeling that he is more relaxed when he is with me than you and Stander. He can't understand Stander's Imperial language, nor can he understand the Dwarven language, which means that he has been living in the Elf Continent and he probably doesn't have much contact with Wood Elves. It is very likely that his companions are a group of half-blood elves..." said the half-blood elf Lolepaji with a sneer.

"My God, you can actually analyze so many things?" The dwarf warrior rubbed his red nose and muttered.

The half-blood elf Lorepaji continued:
"From what happened last night... we can see that he is a calm and determined guy! Even demon hunters of our level need to gather together for warmth. How can a warrior who dares to walk alone on this land be a simple one?"

The four of them fell silent for a moment.

At this time, Roy had already walked away, and several people turned around and returned to the camp.

The human warrior Stander then said:
"It's better to have one friend than many enemies."

The dwarf warrior also echoed:

"Next time you see that kid, remember to remind him that even in a homeless camp, he can't leave his wallet exposed."

"..."

"I think he must have more than one pack of elf cookies. Maybe he has a lot of valuable stuff on him."

"Why do you and I always look at things from different perspectives? I think that since he dares to walk alone in the dark land, he must have more than one way to save his life. Since he dares to give these things to us, he must not be afraid of us snatching them away!"

"Alright, alright, everyone has left..."

……

Fortunately, Roy, who was walking in the dark, did not hear their conversation, otherwise he would have regretted leaving a pack of elf cookies for them...

At night in the Dark Land, the sky appears crimson.

At this time, many dark creatures hid themselves, and there were only some ordinary dark creatures floating in the wilderness, moving with the wind.

Roy walked for most of the day and finally returned safely to the valley where the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp was located.

Standing at the entrance of the valley, Roy found that the entire valley was completely shrouded in darkness. No wonder almost no demon hunters in the wanderer camp knew about this Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp...

……

Expeditionary Force Camp

Roy had been in the dark land for a day and a night and still had not returned to the expeditionary camp, so the officers of the mine guard regiment gathered together for a meeting.

Head of the group Timothy presided over the meeting.

According to what Roy had said before he left, Captain Timothy tried his best to calm the half-elf officers and let them continue to lead patrols in the expeditionary camp.

Out of trust in Captain Timothy, the half-elf officers patrolled the camp in rotation as normal.

But by the afternoon, Captain Roy still hadn't returned to the camp, and many half-elf warriors in the mine guard group gradually lost their patience.

Some voices of people going outside the camp to look for Boss Roy appeared in the expeditionary camp. The half-elf officers took the initiative to find Captain Timothy, hoping that Captain Timothy would agree to let them enter the dark land.

Captain Timothy was actually very conflicted. On the one hand, he had to fulfill Roy's request before he left and calm down the half-blood elf warriors in the expeditionary camp so that they would not rashly enter the dark land. On the other hand, his thoughts were more urgent than those half-blood elf warriors. He wanted to lead the assassination team to sneak into the dark land to find Roy's whereabouts.

Captain Timothy always felt that with his prestige, he could calm down these half-blood elf warriors...

In fact, when the half-elf warriors began to discuss that their boss Roy was lost in the dark land, the entire expedition camp became a mess, and Captain Timothy's orders became less and less binding.

A group of half-blood elf officers surrounded Captain Timothy again and asked him:
"Captain Timothy, when can we enter the Dark Land?"

Other officers echoed, "Yeah, Boss Roy has been out of contact for so long, can't we go outside and look for him?"

Timothy was also a little shaken. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Well, before Boss Roy left, he specifically told me that you must stay at the expedition camp. So, this time, our assassin group will be responsible for entering the dark land to find Boss Roy."

After saying this, he prepared to summon the Dark Moon Elf warriors in the mine guard group...

The half-blood elf officers said:
"How can your assassin group be the only one responsible? There is not even a high-level dark creature around the expeditionary camp. What could go wrong? For something like this, we should all search together in the dark land. The chances of finding it will be greater..."

"Okay, everyone, get ready. Except for the elf warrior who will take the next shift, all of us will go out!"

Captain Timothy was quickly persuaded by this group of half-elf officers and planned to lead all the elven warriors of the mine guard regiment into the dark land. For a moment, the expedition camp immediately became boiling.

……

In front of the Dark Gate in the back garden of the Statue of Liberty in Golfito Canyon, Commander Gabriel Reis led a group of leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Infantry Guard Regiment up the steps and stepped into the purple vortex. The mine guard regiment had been stationed in the Dark Land for nearly a month, and Commander Gabriel Reis wanted to see the situation of the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp.

It just so happened that these Silver Moon Elf captains were attending a meeting in the main hall, and Legion Commander Gabrielleth took advantage of this opportunity to summon all the Silver Moon Elf captains and prepared to take everyone to the expeditionary camp opposite the Dark Portal to take a look.

Legion Commander Gabreth knew very well that the expeditionary camp opposite the Dark Portal could not have always been garrisoned by the Mine Guards.

But the Silver Moon Elf warriors were reluctant to enter the dark land...

Legion Commander Gabreth walked out of the Dark Portal, pointed at the dilapidated expeditionary camp in front of him, and said to everyone:

"You should all take a good look at everything here. Your regiment may enter the dark land in the future and will be stationed here for a while..."

"…This is the portal that connects the Dark Land to the Elf Continent. For us Silver Moon Elves, it is a very important military fortress. This expedition camp will definitely be continuously renovated in the future. At least all these tattered tents will be demolished and converted into our marching tents."

"These sixteen magic towers are too crudely built, and the magic core rune arrays inside the magic towers are too crude."

After passing through the Dark Portal, Captain Gabreth began to chatter about the dilapidated tents and magic towers in the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp. A group of Silver Moon Elf captains following behind him were whispering and discussing in low voices who would be the next unlucky captain.

As the Silver Moon Elf leaders looked towards the expeditionary camp, they discovered that the half-blood elf warriors in the camp seemed to be sorting their equipment. Some of them were already wearing magic armor and waiting at the edge of the expeditionary camp. It seemed that they were preparing to leave the camp and enter the wilderness of the dark land.

The Silver Moon Elf officers stared at the half-blood elf warriors with wide eyes, wondering if these guys had become crazy because they were infected with too much dark energy? They actually did such a crazy thing...

Soon, Commander Gabrielle realized that something was wrong in the camp.

He wanted to call Roy over and ask what happened in the camp, but after a long time of giving the order, Roy didn't come over...

Captain Gabreth quickly called over an officer from the mine guard regiment and gave him an order:
"Where is Captain Roy going? Ask him to come see me."

The half-elf officer saluted the legion commander, but did not follow his orders. Instead, he returned to the team and prepared to leave the expeditionary camp with the team.

A group of Silver Moon elf leaders opened their mouths wide, looking at this group of half-blood elf warriors...

Legion Commander Gabreth was furious. He stood on the low wall of the pool in front of the Dark Portal, pointed at the half-elf warriors and shouted:

"I! Gabrys, am the commander of the Golfito Elf Legion. As the garrison troops of the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp, you need to obey my orders and answer my questions, otherwise you will be severely punished! Where is your Captain Roy?"

The half-elf warrior stood silently in the team, ignoring the words of Legion Commander Gabreres, and prepared to walk out of the camp.

Seeing that Captain Gabreth's words had no effect, the Silver Moon Elf Captain standing nearby quickly grabbed a half-blood elf officer and emphasized to him:

"This is Captain Gabreth. Why don't you answer his questions?"

The half-elf warriors turned their heads and looked at the Silver Moon Elf officer with cold eyes.

No one spoke in the team, and the atmosphere was extremely cold for a moment.

Captain Timothy, who was supposed to step up to deal with the situation, had already walked out of the expeditionary camp with a thousand Dark Moon Elf warriors.

After entering the dark land, the Dark Moon Elf warriors immediately hid their bodies and disappeared into the dimly lit wilderness.

Captain Timothy planned to walk to the top of the earth slope closest to the expeditionary camp and observe the surrounding terrain. Fortunately, there were no dark creatures active around the camp.

Just as Captain Timothy was standing on the slope and looking around, a figure entered his field of vision from a distance.

The figure was wearing a thick leather magic pattern suit, with a huge book of judgment hanging around his waist. When he trotted across the wilderness, his legs seemed so stiff that they seemed to be able to drag up a cloud of dust...

After seeing Roy running, Captain Timothy suddenly broke into a smile.

He pointed with one hand in the direction where Roy appeared, signaling all the Dark Moon Elf warriors to look in that direction.

Suddenly, a strange cheer rang out in the deserted wilderness...

……

Captain Timothy quickly ran over to meet Roy. When he got closer, he found that Roy was already exhausted. He could hardly lift his legs when running and could only drag himself along.

The magic cloak on his body was torn in countless places, with traces of dried blood on it.

However, when he saw Roy's face, he still had a sunny smile and was still so energetic. He didn't look like he was seriously injured, so he felt relieved.

"Timothy, why did you come out?"

The sudden appearance of Captain Timothy startled Roy, and he hurriedly asked Captain Timothy.

"All of our mine guard officers have made a unanimous decision to enter the dark land to search for the whereabouts of the mine guard commander!" Captain Timothy replied with a straight face.

"Okay, I was careless this time, but since you've found me, follow me back to the camp!" Roy said to the Dark Moon Elf warriors who emerged from the shadows all around.

When Roy returned to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp, he found that the atmosphere in the camp was a little strange. Almost all the half-elf warriors were cheering excitedly, while the expressions on the faces of the half-elf officers were not very natural.

Roy pulled over a half-elf officer and asked in a low voice: "Gabriel, what happened in the camp?"

The half-elf officer stepped aside and pointed in the direction of Captain Gabreth. Roy then saw Captain Gabreth with a dark face and a group of Silver Moon elf captains standing behind them, ready to watch the show...

Roy quickly pulled at his tattered magic cloak to make himself look even more embarrassed, and quickly ran to the front of Captain Gabreth:
"Mr. Commander, Roy is here to report!"

Legion Commander Gabreth had a gloomy face and asked Roy coldly:

"Captain Roy, what is going on? Where is the mine guard going?"
