Path of Light.

Chapter 614: The Dying Demigod

Mage Elaud took out a magic crystal with a scale.

Roy had seen this long, triangular magic crystal rod at the appraiser's office on the first floor of the Magic Guild in Castletown City. Roy also used this magic crystal to test its own carrying capacity.

Now that Mage Elaud had taken out this magic crystal, Roy knew what Mage Elaud wanted to do.

If you want to tailor-make advanced magic pattern structures, the most important thing is to test your own carrying capacity and match the magic pattern array that best suits you according to the magic carrying capacity.

Mage Elaud placed the magic crystal in front of Roy and continued:

"Come on! Don't worry.

I just want to get a preliminary understanding. Since I am not an inscription master, I cannot help you customize a second-level magic pattern structure.

But I have a few good friends who are excellent inscription masters. After this operation is over, I can help you make an appointment.

But you need to go to the capital of Buenos Aires in person to visit the master of inscriptions.

In addition, the Magic Guild can also provide a fourth-level Warcraft leather.

I see that your current set of magic rune armor is heavy leather armor. Will your second set of magic rune armor also follow this style?"

After hearing what Mage Elaud said, Roy felt relieved...

Sure enough, Mage Elaud began to implement the three conditions he promised Roy.

Roy quickly replied: "Yes, Master Elaud, I hope that the magic pattern structure on my body will be as thick as possible."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the base of the magic crystal. As Roy injected a force of holy light into the magic crystal, the magic crystal column quickly changed color. At first, the magic crystal column was translucent. After the force of holy light was injected, the entire magic crystal began to be filled with golden threads.

These gold threads gathered more and more inside the magic crystal. When all the gold threads filled the entire magic crystal, the entire magic crystal was emitting golden light.

At this time, Magician Elaud was already very surprised, but the gold on the magic crystal was constantly turning into pure white, a dazzling and bright color.

"No wonder I always felt that your magic pattern structure seemed to be a little different from others. It turns out that your carrying capacity is several times stronger than other priests!" Magister Elaud stared at Roy in surprise and asked him excitedly:
"Would you like to know what your current carrying capacity is?"

Roy remembered that when he was still a priest, his magic carrying capacity had reached more than 100 points. He also heard Scarlett the Magician talk about this at the time. The carrying capacity of a normal first-level magician was only about 70 or 80 points.

Now that Roy has been promoted to a first-level high priest, he naturally wants to know how much his carrying capacity has grown.

He nodded quickly and looked at Master Mage Elaud.

Mage Elaud put the magic crystal into his magic waist bag, smiled and said to Roy:
"Two hundred and seventy-four points of carrying capacity. Your magic carrying capacity is even stronger than that of a dwarf.

To be honest, the magic carrying capacity of some second-level combat professionals may not be higher than yours.

In this case, you can wear magic rune armor with multiple magic rune arrays, but because you are still a first-level high priest, the level of the magic rune array can only be limited to the second-level magic, so the number of magic rune arrays you can choose is much smaller.

In fact, magic pattern construction is a magical equipment that uses the power of magic pattern arrays to enhance its own combat effectiveness.

The magic pattern structure of a sword dancer will often mainly strengthen the three major aspects of strength, defense, and magic resistance, while the archer will strengthen speed, accuracy, and balance. You are a high priest who controls the power of holy light, so which aspects of the second-level magic pattern structure need to be strengthened?"

Magister Elaud obviously also has a good understanding of magic pattern construction.

"I hope to become an outstanding combat priest in the future. Therefore, my second set of magic rune constructs may be chosen to enhance strength and defense. In addition, I will also need to increase the casting speed and concentration. After all, I need to cast divine spells in battle."

Roy paused and continued to ask:

"Mage Elaud, most of the magicians on the market now have primary magic rune structures. This time you came forward to help me customize a set of secondary magic rune structures. This type of secondary magic rune structure is already hard to find on the market. In fact, I have always wanted to know, how many levels of magic rune structures are there?"

Magister Elaud smiled and replied, "There are five levels in total."

Just as Roy's eyes widened, Magister Elaud continued, "But I've only ever seen a set of level 4 magic pattern constructs."

Mage Elaud narrowed his eyes, a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes, and said to Roy:
“I remember that time, that set of magic pattern armor was worn by a legendary warrior.

I remember that day he passed through the dimensional door alone and came to the top floor of the Magic Guild.

I was with my teacher at the Magic Guild to handle some matters, and I happened to see that legendary master. He didn't even look at me at the time, but the powerful aura he exuded was so overwhelming that I felt a little breathless. "

When Roy heard about the door to the dimensional space, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

Mage Elaud patted Roy on the shoulder and said to him:
"These things are still far away from you. In fact, you can make some preparations for the promotion to the second level now.

For a sorcerer magician, they need to control the power of the elements.

They have to raise their elemental affinity to the standard of an elemental body, so that they can enter the elemental world, communicate with elemental creatures and sign magic contracts.

As for the other point, it is the ability to use the power of 'momentum' to enhance one's own strength...

When you have all of these prepared, you can try to break through that layer of shackles and become a second-level combat priest."

When he said these words, Mage Elaud even showed a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. He continued:
"Primary magic rune structures require second-level magic beast leather to make, and second-level magic rune structures require fourth-level magic beast leather. These high-level magic beasts are rare in the Elven Continent and can only be seen in certain planes. The Magic Guild will also take on the magic beast leather used for your second-level magic rune structures."

Roy didn't expect that Mage Elaud would be so quick to finalize the construction of the second-level magic pattern.

It seems that the gains from entering the dark land this time are quite great.

Roy was naturally very happy to have such a knowledgeable magician sitting next to him. He couldn't help but ask Magician Elaud:

"Mage Elaud, what kind of powerful strength does a legendary warrior possess?"

Mage Elaud obviously didn't want to say much about this topic. Perhaps for him, becoming a legendary warrior was also his next goal.

So he just said:
"Their strongest point is that they can freely enter the outer realms and travel between various planes."

Roy did not stop asking tirelessly: "What about those above the legendary masters?"

Mage Elaud glanced at Roy in silence. Just one glance made Roy deeply feel that he had said too much, and the mage was already a little dissatisfied.

"Demigods, they are the real rulers of the entire continent." Mage Elaud answered concisely.

"Have you ever seen a demigod?" Roy couldn't help but ask again.

After a pause, Mage Elaud said:

"…I just saw a dying demigod."

"..."

Suddenly, the room became quiet.

……

The magic wooden house was moving along the expedition road that the Temple Expeditionary Force took to enter the dark land. Roy had walked this road twice some time ago and saw almost no dark creatures along the way.

The terrain in this area is relatively flat, and if you go further you will enter a vast sea of ​​black sand.

Roy still has a fresh memory of that black sea of ​​sand.

However, this magic wooden house moved forward on the black sand sea without any obstacles. The magic wooden house was completely floating above the sand sea. The huge and bulky magic steel golem walked on the soft sand, and it actually felt like wading through waist-deep river water. The black sand completely swallowed its two thick thighs, but even so it did not slow down its forward speed.

It leaves a straight track in the black sand...

Roy only spent ten days in the magic cabin before the magicians successfully arrived at the Isnes expedition camp.

In the living room on the second floor of the magic cabin, a group of great magicians saw through the glass windows on the second floor that the magic cabin was parked on the edge of a huge meteorite crater. The inside of this huge meteorite crater now looked like an abandoned garbage dump, but in the central area of ​​the garbage dump, there were still dozens of very dilapidated tents left.

When seeing this scene, most of the great magicians in the magic house were very disappointed.

I have heard that the Isnes Expeditionary Camp is the second transit camp of the Temple Expeditionary Force. I originally thought it would be a small town, but now it looks like a ruin.

Many great magicians are even reluctant to step out of the magic cabin.

The door of the innermost room on the first floor of the magic cabin was pushed open, and the magician Cedric, wearing a black magic robe and leaning on a magic wand, walked out of the magic cabin slowly, accompanied by two magician students.

He did not walk down the steps to the black sand, but stood on the terrace at the door of the wooden house. His old face looked a little gloomy in the dark environment...

He pursed his lips and saw the depressed look of the Isnes Expeditionary Force, with endless disappointment in his cloudy eyes.

He stood on the terrace outside the magic wooden house, staring at the ruined camp in the crater for a long time, but in the end he did not go into Isnes...

"Teacher, how about I go down and ask the priests who are left here?"

Mage Elaud came out of the magic cabin and said to Cedric.

Magister Cedric shook his head slightly, with some disappointment in his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"There are only a few frail old priests left in the camp. They have long since left the Temple Expeditionary Force. What can they know now? If we have the time, we might as well go a little further inside."

Originally they wanted to rest in the Isnes Expeditionary Camp for a day, but Magister Cedric was obviously a little disappointed with the camp.

Seeing Mage Cedric turn around and walk back to the cabin, Mage Elaud quickly notified everyone that the magic cabin would continue along the expedition road into the depths of the dark land.

Roy was in his room, still thinking about whether he should go to the Isnes camp to see how those old priests who were in trouble were doing.

But I heard that the magic wooden house was about to leave, so I didn't have the chance to go to the Isnes Expeditionary Force Camp to take another look.

The magic wooden house circled half a circle around the edge of the huge crater and continued along the expedition road. The expedition camp ahead was called the Briniya Expedition Camp, but it was about ten days' journey from here.

The magicians wanted to find out the news about the lich in the Dark Land, but unfortunately they couldn't get any information at the Isnes expedition camp.

This made the atmosphere in the magic cabin become depressing. The great magicians were in no mood to sit together, chatting and drinking tea. They were all flipping through magic books or making some magic notes. Even if the content they were looking up had nothing to do with the Dark Land and the liches, they still had to appear very busy.

After leaving the Isnes expedition camp, some great magicians left the magic cabin every day to collect some information outside.

They would not stray far from the magic cabin, and would almost always return to it before dark...

In fact, Roy also wanted to follow these great magicians out of the magic cabin and visit various places in the dark land, but Mage Elaud was worried that if Roy went out, he might waste the power of holy light in his body. So no matter how Roy assured him, he could not convince Mage Elaud to change his mind.

This time when entering the dark land, the magicians' initial plan was to use the power of the temple expeditionary force to quickly find the lich.

If a few mages can't take down the lich, ask the Temple Expedition for help.

This was the action plan formulated by Magister Elaud, but after the magic cabin arrived at the Isness expeditionary camp, the mages realized that they had overestimated the actual situation of the Temple Expeditionary Force...

In fact, the Temple Expeditionary Force has now made a desperate attempt and rushed into the depths of the dark land.

The six mages gathered in Magister Cedric's room, discussing the next plan of action.

Magister Elaud spoke first: "It seems that we can only decide on the next course of action after we find the Temple Expeditionary Force. I want to go inside and hope that the situation of the expeditionary camp ahead is better than that of Isnes."

Mage Dunlop, who was familiar with the Dark Land, hesitated for a moment before proposing a different opinion:

"In fact, I think we can ask the demon hunters in some wild camps around here for information about the lich. They often hunt dark creatures in the dark land and may know a lot of information about dark beasts."

Magister Joyce agreed:
"This is a way..."

"But many camps are very hidden. Where can we find those demon hunting camps?"

Magister Jonas sat on the soft leather sofa and raised a new question.
