Path of Light.

Chapter 612: Elaud Mage
"The priests of this faction want to go deep into the dark land and search for the relics of God left by the goddess."

"They based this theory mainly on a piece of the goddess's little tail bone found in the ruins of an ancient battlefield."

"This group of priests firmly believes that the Statue of Liberty has fallen in the Land of Darkness. They want to find the place where the Statue of Liberty fell, because they firmly believe that there must be treasures left by the Statue of Liberty where the Statue of Liberty fell."

"At that time, another faction in the expeditionary force believed that the Statue of Liberty was still alive, but was sealed somewhere in the Dark Land. As long as we have the ability to remove the seal, we can rescue the Statue of Liberty. The place where the Statue of Liberty is suppressed should be the most mysterious place in the Dark Land. They also hope that the expeditionary force can enter the depths of the Dark Land."

"My view was completely different from theirs at the time. I thought the Statue of Liberty..."

Having said this, the voice in old Parker's throat suddenly disappeared.

No one knew if it was because he had made some kind of oath, or if certain words were cursed and he couldn't say them at all.

At this time, Old Parker realized that he was a little too excited.

He adjusted his mood appropriately, took two deep breaths, looked at Roy beside him, spread his hands helplessly and said:

“So I was considered a heretic…”

"Among our group of priests, I was the only one who managed to escape the Temple Expedition. Once a priest like me loses his holy weapon, the power of holy light in his body will be consumed and it will be difficult to recover. I couldn't return to the Elf Continent, so I lived in the Wanderer Camp. So many years have passed in a flash."

"I've gotten used to life here."

"Maybe one day, I will leave here and become a traveler in the dark land, walk around and see, maybe I can help others..."

"You! That surprises me, Roy."

"In the wanderer camp, I need a long time to recover before I can cast a divine spell. Even the holy water you gave me is not very helpful in restoring my holy light power. Every time I see you, I can always feel that the holy light power in your body is very full. Do you have a holy weapon in your hand?"

Old Pike asked Roy seriously.

Roy shook his head and said:
"In fact, I don't have any holy weapon in my hand!"

"Not long ago, a great magician told me that the four elements of wind, fire, water and earth can actually transform into each other. They believe that the magic theory can be applied to the two completely opposite elements of light and darkness, and they can actually transform into each other. Of course, I can't do this yet."

"All I can do is absorb some of the power from those dark creatures when they are completely dead..."

“It’s like a tree that puts its roots into the soil and, with the nourishment of the sun and rain, produces sweet fruits. In fact, you can think of these fruits as a polymer of light, water, and soil.”

"Anyway, that's it..."

As he spoke, Roy stretched out his hand and released the power of holy light in his body, causing the shadow of the holy light tree in his body to appear behind him.

Old Pike looked at the flower of light on the Holy Light Tree behind Roy with some surprise, his eyes showing a look of realization, and he said frankly:

"The shadow behind you is really the Statue of Liberty!"

Roy asked curiously:

"Old Pike, is the 'power' behind all the priests the Statue of Liberty?"

Old Pike pursed his dry lips, smiled bitterly and said:

"That's not the case. Apprentice priests and ordinary priests should have angels behind them. Only when they are promoted to high priests, they may become the Statue of Liberty."

……

Legion Commander Gabreth was in a state of despair. He sat back in the chair behind his desk, closed his eyes to calm his restless mood, and tried to restrain himself from throwing the cup in his hand...

Roy, the leader of the mine guards, had just finished his trip to the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp. He had clearly stated that he did not want Roy to be involved in that matter, but Roy eventually went to the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp anyway...

Only then did he return to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp.

This time, it was the magicians of the Magic Guild who submitted an application to the Golfito Military Headquarters, hoping that Roy could accompany their adventure group into the Dark Land.

Really not at all restless...

Can't this guy just stay at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp?
Although Commander Gaburreth holds the management rights of Golfito Canyon, due to his strength and background, he still dares not offend the magicians of the Magic Guild easily.

Especially since this group of magicians are currently repairing the Dark Portal, more than one written notice has been issued asking the Golfito military to do its best to assist these magicians.

Mage Elaud sat opposite Legion Commander Gabreth and asked calmly:

"Captain Gabriel Reis, we will discuss this matter with Captain Roy in private. The Golfito Military Department only needs to show us a written authorization. Captain Gabriel Reis, please keep our entry into the Dark Land a secret for us."

"..."

What else can Commander Gabreth say?
He took out the seal somewhat awkwardly and stamped it on the parchment on the table.

Mage Elaud nodded with satisfaction, reached out to pick up the parchment scroll with the emblem of the Magic Guild printed on the back, rolled it up again, tied it up, and put it into his magic waist bag.

The sunlight outside shone through the birdcage-shaped windows, casting distorted spots of light on the floor of the room.

Mage Elaud stood up from his chair. His dark green magic robe showed a pattern of emerald green like grass in the sunlight, making the floor of the room look like a green meadow...

Every time he took a step forward, countless colorful flowers seemed to bloom under his feet.

When Mage Elaud walked out of the office, the invisible boulder pressing on Legion Commander Gabreres disappeared instantly. He placed the cup in his hand heavily on the table, and the cup immediately broke into two halves. The fruit tea in the cup flowed on the table and dripped onto the floor along the edge of the table.

……

Dark Gate Expedition Camp,
A group of half-blood elf warriors sat by the holy water pool, discussing the harvest from their hunt for dark creatures...

Roy had just finished inspecting the magic tower and wanted to go over and chat with the half-elf warriors.

Mage Elaud walked out of the Dark Portal, came to Roy, and asked, "How have you considered it, Roy?"

"Even if I don't tell you, you must know how dangerous it is to enter the dark land. In fact, I am usually quite timid..."

Before Roy could finish, Mage Elaud waved his hand and interrupted Roy and said:
"If you are willing to go into the dark land with us, whether you find the lich or not, you will be able to obtain the support of the Magic Guild. To be more precise, you will receive the support of our six magicians. This is the first benefit."

"The second benefit is that your magic rune set is too old. As a high priest, the magic enhancement effect of this magic rune set is obviously no longer suitable for you, so we can help you find a master-level inscription master to help you tailor a set of second-level magic rune sets."

"The third benefit is that we can add two pages to your Book of Judgment!"

As he spoke, Mage Elaud stretched out two fingers and gently shook them in front of Roy's eyes.

Roy grinned, secretly wiped the saliva that was about to flow out, and said with an extremely tangled smile:
“…I really can’t seem to refuse.”
