Path of Light.

Chapter 620 621. Grems
The black beast tide obscured the bloody sky. Behind the beast tide followed a black magic whale, which floated in the air. Every time it leaped forward, it would open its big mouth and suck the dark beasts and dark creatures in front of it into its mouth.

Its body is like a small mountain, dark all over, with a layer of exoskeleton growing in many places outside its skin.

A group of demon hunters who were hunting nearby were so scared that they hid in the sand.

At this moment, Roy and the great magician Grahams were lying quietly in the magic-sealing box. Although the space in the box was not large, it was very clean and the box was very breathable.

When Roy sat in the box, his legs could be fully straightened.

The inner wall of the box was covered with a very soft blanket. If he hadn't been worried about the big guy in the sky, he would have even wanted to take a nap in this magic-sealing box.

The magic-sealing box blocked Roy's breath and perception, and he had no idea what was happening outside.

After Roy was promoted to high priest, he was promoted all the way to level seventeen.

He discovered that if he relied on the Holy Light Tree to absorb the power of holy light from the outside world bit by bit, even if he grew a greenhouse of flowers of light, his progress would be extremely slow.

But ever since he successfully killed a sea beast priest in the Sun Island Bay, such leapfrog promotions have occurred frequently, especially when hunting dark creatures in the Dark Land, Roy has been promoted frequently...

He sat cross-legged in the magic box, meditating like the great magician Grahams. The power of holy light in his body began to circulate rapidly. He focused his attention on his hands, and soon his hands were filled with the power of holy light. Finally, the part below his forearms was almost completely assimilated with the holy light.

The tree of holy light also grew extremely luxuriantly in the body, and the flowers of light all over the tree would occasionally scatter some holy light particles.

Roy tried to silently recite the holy prayer at this time. He didn't even draw the divine runes. A holy light bullet immediately appeared in front of his body, which scared Roy...

I didn't know how much time had passed. I was hiding in the box and had completely lost track of time. Then, I heard knocking sounds coming from outside the magic-sealing box.

Roy sat in the box, raised his hands above his head and tried to push the lid open.

The lid was opened...

Grimes was standing nearby. He bent down, reached out his hand and pulled Roy out of the box.

The sky had returned to its original bloody color, and the rushing black clouds had long disappeared at the edge of the sky. Roy looked around and asked Grahams:
"That black devil whale swam away?"

"It has already swam away. I guess this area is not its territory. It just happened to pass by here while chasing its prey." Grahams said, patting Roy on the shoulder. "Let's go. We have been out for too long. It's time to return to the magic cabin."

When packing up the magic box, Grems saw Roy's quick movements and couldn't help asking:

"Roy, do you plan to join an adventure group and go on adventures around the world?"

Roy patted the sand on his hands, straightened up and said:

"Actually, before joining the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, I formed an adventure group with a few friends. However, by chance, I became the leader of the mine guard group. I don't have any adventure plans for the time being. I want to take this group of guys back to the Partington plane and plan what to do next."

Roy did not say that he had built a plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau, owned more than a dozen mines on the plateau, had a fishery in the Sun Island Bay, and that he controlled the primary magic herb business in the Partington plane.

In the Partington plane, Roy was indeed a little dissatisfied with the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. He felt that some Silver Moon Elf nobles in the legion were unwilling to abide by the original agreement. After the war on the Pagisto Plateau subsided, they began to attempt to occupy the plateau mines.

When he came out of the Partington plane, he found that some of the actions of the Silver Pegasus Legion were indeed a bit lenient.

The Silver Pegasus Legion is the actual controller of the Partington plane, but most of the mines on Partington are actually controlled by Roy. Although Roy's mine guard regiment belongs to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion can only get half of the mine's income.

Roy knew that sooner or later, some of the profits from the Pagisto Plateau mine would have to be given up. In the future, the profits from the Partington plane should come from three places: the trade of primary magic herbs, metal gems, and fisheries in the Sun Island Bay.

Roy was most optimistic about the fishery in Sun Island Bay, because after the waterway between Sun Island Bay, Plateau City, and Padstow City was opened, the magic airship would closely connect the three places. The half-blood elves were not averse to eating fish, so the fishery resources in the Partington plane would likely be self-sufficient...

When Grams heard Roy say that he wanted to bring the mine guards back to the Partington plane, he remembered that this overly young half-elf in front of him was still a leader...

He patted his forehead hard and said to Roy with a smile, "I almost forgot that you are a captain. I never thought that there would be a Silver Moon Elf noble who would put aside the prejudice between races and let you form a team of half-elves to fight."

"In fact, the process was quite tortuous. Initially, this mine guard group was called the Mine Guard Team, and later it was expanded into the Mine Guard Regiment." Roy said with a smile.

"So, there must be a very interesting story about how you became the leader of this guard regiment?" Grimes asked Roy.

Roy rubbed his forehead and said casually:

"It's actually okay. I just feel like I've been pushed along all the way. At first I just agreed to be a guide and lead the vanguard cavalry regiment into the plateau, but later I somehow became a regiment leader, and my life seems to have changed a lot."

Grems asked curiously, "Can you tell me what's different?"

Roy hesitated and said, "First of all, I became very rich all of a sudden."

Grimes was stunned, he couldn't understand.

After a while he said:

"...I'm sorry, as a magician...I don't have a good concept of Kohler. To me, the most basic trading currency should be magic crystal."

Roy knew that many Silver Moon elves had no concept of money. They had lived a rich life since they were born.

Roy said: "I still remember that I sold a lot of nightmare vines to raise enough money for this magic pattern construct."

"After becoming the leader of the mine guards, I have some savings in my pocket, but I have never had the time or opportunity to buy better magic pattern equipment. In the past, I hoped to take a boat across the Endless Sea and take a look at the other side of the sea. Now, I hope that the half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau can live a better life."

Roy said this in a subtle way, indicating that the money in his pocket would allow the half-blood elves on the Pagisto Plateau to live a better life.

But Grahams didn't notice any of this. He only heard Roy say that he wanted to go to the other side of the ocean to have a look...

"Is it the other side of the Endless Sea?"

"Yeah." Roy replied.

"Across the sea is Roland Continent. I've been there." Grahams said with some pride.

Then he went on to say, "It has always been occupied by the Green Empire. A few years ago, when we were fighting the Naga Sea Tribe, His Majesty Ansel formed an alliance with the Green Empire and married the eldest princess to Prince James of the Green Empire. It was because of that alliance that we occupied the Queen Eweni Islands. A few years ago, I heard that the eldest princess gave birth to a pair of baby girls. His Majesty Ansel personally named these two girls who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths Ying Li and Letie. They are about ten years old now."

"The Green Empire?"

Roy heard many of his friends mention this name, especially High Priest Reed, who told him a lot about the Green Empire. He was also full of curiosity about this country. "Yes! By the way, there are many believers of the Statue of Liberty over there. The whole country believes in the Statue of Liberty. There are also many priests in their army. The knight army promoted by the priests and the Construct Knights can even fight against the wolf riders of the Orc Tribe on the front battlefield." Graves continued to introduce.

"The Construct Knights..."

It was the first time Roy heard of this kind of knight order, and he was a little surprised.

Then he began to wonder... How rich would it take to form a group of Construct Knights?

Grams continued, "Also, the magicians over there are good at fire magic. Human magicians also often appear in the army. They stand in a row at the back of the battlefield and cast a large fireball spell towards the battlefield, and the entire battlefield will burn."

Then he complained about the army of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom: "Unlike our Elf Kingdom, magicians rarely go to the battlefield, and the same goes for the priests of the Moon Temple."

Roy thought back to a few days ago, when it was with the help of the Great Elf Archers of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom and the Moon Temple Priests that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion managed to win the naval battle of the Queen Ivennie Islands.

So he said, "Actually, the priests of the Moon Temple are pretty good. They also fought when the gray dwarf bandits attacked the Queen Ewenni Islands a while ago."

Grems smiled, curled his lips and said:
"I guess you don't know that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has to pay a large commission to the Moon Temple for this."

Roy was even more surprised: "Ah, do you want to charge for it?"

"Then why do you think the priests of the Moon Temple would go to Queen Eweni Islands?" Grimes asked Roy.

"..."

At this moment, Roy didn't know how to answer.

In fact, he also hated the priests of the Moon Temple...

The two of them talked as they walked down the gentle slope, planning to go to the next gathering point to wait for the magic cabin.

The further we went down, the more mottled and weathered rocks there were around us, and there were even some shells that had been worn beyond recognition exposed on the black sand.

The obstacles around us gradually increased, but there was still some soft sand under our feet.

Sure enough, the surrounding environment has some characteristics of the sea. At least there are no gray-white shells bigger than fists on land...

"Be careful!" It was Grahams who reminded Roy again.

He grabbed Roy's arm, preventing him from taking another step forward.

Roy quickly took a small step back and looked in the direction where Grahams was looking. He saw an eyeball peeking out from a crack in the rock. The eye grew on a thorny vine that stretched out from the crack in the rock, supporting the eyeball to swing back and forth.

This eyeball is as big as a coconut, and there is endless darkness in the center of the pupil.

It kept scanning a fan-shaped area outside the rock, looking like a camera twisting back and forth.

"What it is?"

Roy was frightened by the eyeball. At first he thought that the rock had grown eyes. It would be funny if there was a rock giant hiding here.

But then Roy discovered that the rock showed no signs of activity, only the eyeball was alive.

Grems replied:
"That is a demonic eye. It is a dark demon that monitors this area."

"Usually there are dark lords in this area...then there are these things. They are a kind of dark parasitic monster. Let's not provoke them. Let's withdraw first." Grahams said to Roy.

The two of them retreated more than ten meters along the way they came, and then began to bypass the rocky area.

The road ahead became more difficult to walk on. There were some sharp-edged rocks hidden in the soft sand. If you stepped on them carelessly, you could easily sprain your ankle...

Grimes's perception was much higher than Roy's, so he walked in front.

Roy followed Grahams obediently after they went around the rocky area.

Grems's expression became even more solemn. He stopped, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Roy with a troubled look on his face:

"There's a fierce battle going on ahead, let's go around it."

"Oh……"

Roy agreed, but stared at the great magician Grahams with a smile.

"Okay, let's just take a look from a distance and leave..."

After saying this, Grimes took the lead and walked forward, holding the magic wand tightly in his hand.

Roy also grasped the chain of the Book of Judgment in one hand, holding the sacred scepter in the other, and looked around nervously.

……

Three gargoyles were squatting in front of a corpse, constantly pulling out pieces of bloody intestines from the corpse's abdominal cavity.

There were also several broken corpses lying beside them. They were all dead elven warriors. Their leather armor was torn into pieces. An elven sword was stuck next to them, and blood was constantly flowing from the sword.

More than three hundred meters away, Roy couldn't see what was happening in front of him.

But as a great magician, Grams saw clearly the bloody scene in front of him. The three gargoyles had eaten so many elf warriors and their bodies had obviously grown larger.

Grems gritted his teeth and muttered:
"These damn guys, oh my god, why should I care about these things? Why on earth should I get close to them!"

"Roy, follow me!"

After Grimes finished speaking, there were crackling sounds on his body, and a piece of ice armor covered his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He rushed forward suddenly, and waved the staff in his hand casually in front of his body. An ice spear more than three meters long appeared above Grahams' head. The ice spear emitted a biting cold air, which made Roy, who was following behind, shiver uncontrollably.
