Path of Light.

Chapter 601 602. Goodbye Byron Thor
Viscount Feleck leaned on a fixed crane next to the deck, looking at the forest path by the lake.

Roy led the half-elf warrior back to Golfito Canyon and gradually disappeared in the purple mist...

After this half-elf leader entered the Dark Land, he actually opened up a trade route between the Dark Land and the Elf Continent. Viscount Felec did not expect that every time Roy came back, he seemed to have some new gains.

The dark monster materials brought back this time were enough to fill the cabins of three magic airships.

Such a large amount of dark magic beast materials flowing into the magic market of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will inevitably make the entire magic market saturated with dark magic beast materials, which is what Viscount Felec least wants to see.

Therefore, Viscount Felek plans to hoard this batch of dark magic beast materials for a period of time. He plans to only take out one third of the materials and put them into the magic market first.

For the Magic Guild of the Elf Kingdom, all kinds of dark magic beast materials are scarce...

Only a small number of elven magicians study black magic and undead magic, so the amount of these dark magic beast materials is not large, but these things are very rare in the elven continent, so the price of the materials has always been high...

Normally, when these elven magicians want to obtain materials from dark beasts, basically, occasionally some dark beasts will accidentally enter the elven continent through some unstable space rifts and be hunted by adventure groups or demon hunters, and the obtained materials will flow into the magic market.

In addition, there are some adventure groups that enter other planes and can bring back some materials of dark monsters from remote small planes.

This time, Captain Roy brought back a large amount of dark magic beast materials directly from the Dark Land. After these magic beast materials flowed into the magic market of the Elf Kingdom, business was very good...

The client Viscount Felec found was a close friend of his in Murayaki City. Even during the period when Viscount Felec was being hunted by Count Stasa, this close friend had been secretly providing him with news about Murayaki City, never alienated Viscount Felec, and even wrote letters to encourage him to travel around the Elf Continent.

When Viscount Felec wanted to find a partner for a magic materials trading company, he immediately thought of this close friend.

The nobles of Murayaki City were trying every means to contact Viscount Felak, but Viscount Felak was hiding in the magic airship fleet of the mine guards and would not see outsiders at all. The nobles of Murayaki City had no way to send the invitation letter to the military camp...

Viscount Felek leaned against the sturdy oak tower pillar and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Why didn't I meet this young half-elf earlier?"

……

In order to transport all the dark beast materials acquired from the Dark Land to the magic airship by the lake, Roy brought back nearly 500 half-elf warriors from the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp. With so many half-elf warriors acting together, the target seemed a bit too big.

Roy walked into the long corridor on the left side of the Statue of Liberty. Two rows of half-elf warriors followed closely behind him. The half-elf warriors walked in almost exactly the same pace, causing some Silver Moon Elf guards in the lobby to look over frequently.

In fact, Roy also felt a little regretful. So many dark monster materials should have been shipped back in several batches.

This time, he returned to Golfito with 500 half-elf warriors. He didn't know how many Silver Moon elves were watching him...

The mine guard regiment's entry into the dark land had caused constant criticism from many Silver Moon Elf warriors.

The more you worry about something, the more likely it will happen...

"Captain Roy, please wait a moment!"

Legion Commander Gabreth stood at the gate of the courtyard and called out to Roy.

Roy was startled by the voice of Captain Gabreth.

He was worried that he was secretly trading dark monster materials and was discovered by the Golfito military.

Although he and Commander Gabrielle had a verbal agreement, if Commander Gabriellele wanted to go back on his word, Roy currently had no way to stop him and might even have to go to the military court to drink fruit tea.

"Commander, are you looking for me?"

Roy signaled the half-elf warrior behind him to stop, waited in the corridor on the left, and came to Legion Commander Gabreth alone.

Gabrielles nodded and gestured to Roy:

"I'm going to take you to meet some guests. You can ask your men to return to the expeditionary camp first."

"Oh!"

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that they were not going to investigate the dark beast transaction.

He turned around and ordered a half-elf captain to take these half-elf warriors back to the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp, while he followed Commander Gabreth to a side hall next to the main hall of the Statue of Liberty.

Roy walked into the side hall. The nearly 200-square-meter hall was covered with soft wool carpets.

Walking on the carpet feels like falling into the clouds.

The ceiling above was a brilliant star map, and the walls around the hall were also painted with many nebulae. There were some circular tables in the hall, and models of floating continents were suspended in the glass covers of the circular tables. There were very detailed introductions below these models.

Roy found a group of second-level warriors standing in the hall in twos and threes, discussing these floating continents in a low voice.

Roy followed behind Commander Gabrielle Reis. In fact, there was a group of elven officers behind Commander Gabrielle Reis, but Roy's human appearance made him particularly eye-catching among these Silver Moon elven officers.

Roy was also among this group of second-level warriors and saw Byron Thor at a glance.

He winked furtively at Roy, signaling a chance for a private chat.

Roy nodded implicitly in response.

Legion Commander Gabelres stood in front of the largest round platform and introduced the identities of these Silver Moon Elf officers to this group of second-level strongmen, including Captain Roy of course.

"This is Roy, the commander of the mine guards stationed at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp!"

When Captain Gabreth revealed Roy's identity, almost half of the second-level warriors looked at Roy.

"Mr. Commander, are you saying that the commander of the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp is this... Captain Roy?" A Silver Moon Elf swordsman with a giant sword on his back looked at Roy and asked Captain Gabrielleth.

The identity of this great swordsman should be very extraordinary. Legion Commander Gabreth immediately responded without changing his expression:

"The current garrison commander is indeed Captain Roy. He has a group of half-elf warriors with outstanding military achievements under his command. Captain Roy was once an apprentice priest and can cast divine spells to expel the dark energy from the warriors. Therefore, after repeated discussions by the Golfito military, it was finally decided to have Captain Roy's mine guard regiment stationed at the expeditionary camp."

Roy looked down at the tip of his shoe to avoid being seen by others by the sneer that inadvertently slipped onto his face.

The great swordsman came in front of Roy, and Roy felt an extremely sharp aura enveloping his whole body, as if a giant sword several hundred meters long was hanging above his head.

"We want to enter the Dark Land, so we may have to stay at the Dark Gate Expedition Camp for two days. So please take care of us, Captain Roy!" The great swordsman's voice was steady, and his tone was unquestionable...

Roy looked at Captain Gabreth in confusion.

"You must try your best to meet Lord Alvin's needs. This is an order from the Golfito military."

Legion Commander Gabreth said with a serious face. Roy then realized that this group of second-level warriors in front of him wanted to enter the dark land through the Dark Gate.

Therefore, the Dark Gate Expedition Camp is their only way.

……

In fact, Roy didn't know that these second-level strongmen had been here once before.

But the last time they came to Golfito, they happened to arrive at the time when the Moon Temple and the Magic Guild were working together to seal the Dark Portal, so the military rejected the request of these second-level powerhouses and did not let them enter the dark land.

The second-level strongman heard that the sealing of the Dark Portal was postponed indefinitely.

So this time they contacted some friends again and invited the great swordsman Alvin, who had a noble status in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom, to return to Golfito Canyon.

Great Swordsman Alvin communicated with the military and applied for a pass to enter the Dark Land in Buenos Aires City.

Even though Captain Gabrielle was extremely reluctant, he could not refuse when facing Great Swordsman Alvin, so he handed the matter over to Roy.

I hope to get rid of this group of rank 2 experts as soon as possible...

……

"Is everyone's luggage ready?"

Roy looked at this group of second-level strongmen. Almost all of them were dressed like travelers, so he asked.

"All the luggage is already on us!" Great Swordsman Alvin answered directly.

Roy nodded and said cheerfully:
"Well... in that case, please follow me now! I just need to return to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp."

After saying that, he saluted to Legion Commander Gabres, then took the initiative to lead the way, bringing the thirty or so second-level warriors to the front of the Dark Gate.

A group of second-level strong men looked at the Dark Gate without any surprise in their eyes, but instead revealed some nostalgic expressions.

A faint feeling of sadness continued to spread among this group of rank 2 experts...

Great Swordsman Alvin frowned, walked up the stairs first, and then stepped into the purple magic power vortex.

Roy followed the great swordsman Alvin and walked in.

Under Roy's leadership, this group of second-level warriors entered the dark land and appeared in the Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp.

……

Roy arranged five tents for these second-level strongmen.

These empty tents were almost all left behind by the priests of the Statue of Liberty. A triangular tent could accommodate at most five or six Silver Moon Elf warriors, and five tents could just accommodate all the second-level warriors.

The expeditionary camp still looked the same as before, but none of the priests from the Statue of Liberty were to be seen in the camp.

Great Swordsman Alvin couldn't help but sigh...

The other second-level strongmen also had heavy expressions, and it seemed that some of their memories in the dark land were not very good.

Byron Thor was always very low-key among the crowd. When he entered the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp, he didn't even look at Roy.

After Roy arranged temporary accommodation for these second-level warriors and asked the elf warriors to bring some fruit tea, he turned and left.

When he returned to his tent, Byron Thor walked in from outside not long after.

"I didn't expect that the garrison stationed at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp would be your army." Byron Thor walked into the tent and said to Roy.

Then the two held hands tightly together.

"Roy, we haven't seen each other for more than three months. I thought I would enter the dark land before you, but I didn't expect that in order to apply for a pass to enter the dark land, we would have to travel back and forth between Golfito and Buenos Aires." Byron Thor couldn't help but complain.

"Sir Byron Thor, are these second-level warriors all members of your mercenary group?"

Roy asked Byron Thor to sit down in the tent and asked curiously.

Byron Thor's eyes widened. "How is that possible! These second-level masters are almost all leaders of different mercenary groups. If there are three or five second-level masters in a mercenary group, it will become very famous."

Then Byron Thor added: "They were also a mercenary group that suffered heavy losses in the Dark Land. They lost a lot of manpower and were forced to withdraw from the Dark Land."

At this point, his face looked somewhat gloomy:

"So this time someone proposed to return to the Dark Land and bring our old friends home from the battlefield ruins. Everyone responded. At first we didn't intend to alarm so many people, but things became more and more troublesome, and more and more friends were involved in this matter. Now we even invited the great swordsman Alvin from the capital of Buenos Aires..."

Byron Thor looked towards the Dark Portal and whispered:
"Everyone says that once the magicians completely seal the Dark Portal this time, the old friends who stayed in the dark land will never come back, so no one wants to give up this last chance!"

Roy went on to say, "We are having trouble sealing the Dark Portal right now. We may not be able to seal the Dark Portal for the time being."

Byron Thor quickly waved his hand to signal Roy to keep his voice down, then lowered his voice and said:

"We've heard about this too. If those magicians hadn't encountered some tough problems, we might not have had the chance to enter the Dark Land!"

Then he looked at Roy in confusion, stared at him and asked, "By the way, Roy, have you advanced again recently? I feel that your aura is much stronger than before!"

Roy answered honestly: "Yeah! I was promoted a few days ago..."

Byron Thor's eyes lit up and he immediately said:

"Originally, I didn't want to trouble you with this matter, but we didn't expect that the priests of the Statue of Liberty would withdraw so thoroughly. All the priests went to Isnes. We can't find other priests in the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp. I hope you can go to Isnes with us..."

"..."

Roy was a little dumbfounded.

It's not that he didn't dare to go, but he couldn't. As the leader of the mine guard, it was already very bold for Roy to occasionally go to the wanderer camp...

If he dared to abandon the mine guards and run to the Isnes expeditionary camp alone, it is estimated that when he returns, Earl Swinburne might come in person for him!
