Path of Light.

Chapter 640 Chapter 641. The Priest in the Cave
Leah saw with her own eyes that Roy stepped over the wall of holy light, and she quickly ran out from the corner. However, the closer she got to the wall of holy light, the darker the aura her body began to emit. She also turned pale and looked very weak.

Great Swordsman Alvin turned around and saw that Roy had already passed through the wall of holy light.

He quickly ran to the side of the wall of holy light, crossed his right arm across his chest, and pushed hard towards the top of the wall of holy light, trying to follow Roy through the wall of holy light.

But he seemed to have hit a steel plate, and his body was bounced back by the wall of holy light.

Great Swordsman Alvin used too much force, and the huge rebound force made him fall onto the stone floor of the cave.

He shouted loudly: "Roy, Roy, look inside, there must be a place to close this magic circle..."

Unfortunately, his voice was also isolated outside the Wall of Holy Light. Roy, who entered the Dragon's Treasure, did not hear the shouts of the Great Swordsman Alvin. He was attracted by the deterrent power from the Frost Dragon, and his eyes were always on the huge remains of the Frost Dragon.

This giant frost dragon was lying on a pile of jewels and golden vessels. Its huge body was over 40 meters long, and the pile of treasures beneath it was also enormous...

However, there was no head on the neck of the frost dragon, as if it had been chopped off by a sword. Roy looked around the cave but did not see the head of the frost dragon.

The Frost Dragon's body is covered with a layer of transparent ice crystals, which is why its body has not rotted and disappeared while lying here.

The impact of this frost dragon on Roy was too great. A few days ago, he learned from Byron Tor that the Emerald Dragon on the Elf Continent had disappeared for thousands of years...

Although this is only a few generations for the elves, it must be said that this is a long time...

Roy was very curious about these dragons.

I didn’t expect to find the remains of a giant frost dragon at the edge of the abyss deep in the sea in the dark land.

Only then did he remember to look back, and just happened to see Great Swordsman Alvin lying on the Wall of Holy Light, gesturing at him.

Roy couldn't hear what he said, and his movements were very strange...

He could only point to his ears to indicate that he could not hear anything. This time, the great swordsman Alvin really stopped his useless actions, took out a piece of parchment from his arms, took out a charcoal pencil, quickly wrote a line of words, and quickly pasted it on the wall of holy light.

Roy saw the words clearly. Great Swordsman Alvin wanted him to find the magic circle that controlled the Wall of Holy Light in the treasure and try to remove the source of mana from the magic circle, so that the Wall of Holy Light would stop working.

Roy felt that what the great swordsman Alvin said made sense. Although he did not approach the remains of the frost dragon, he searched around in the cave.

Unfortunately, Roy took a few tentative steps inside and did not see any magic array in the cave. He did not dare to get too close to the remains of the frost dragon. Besides, it was not a good idea for him to go there alone, after all, that was the treasure left by the dragon.

So he only walked a dozen steps into the cave and then retreated cautiously.

When his body touched the wall of holy light, a strange scene appeared again. Ripples appeared on the mirror-smooth wall. Roy passed through the wall of holy light easily, just like passing through a curtain of water.

"Roy, how...how did you get out? You can look around inside. If we can close the magic circle, we can get through here..."

Great Swordsman Alvin asked Roy with some confusion.

Roy pointed inside and said:

"I looked around inside and didn't see any magic circle. Maybe we should go further inside. The giant dragon is lying in front of us. My legs went weak when I saw it. Otherwise, we can ask Grand Mage Cedric and his men to come over. Maybe they can find a way to break this wall of holy light."

"My grandfather told me that this wall of holy light already existed when he found this place. I thought that after so much time, the source of the magic power of the magic circle would have been consumed and the wall would have disappeared. I didn't expect that this wall of holy light would continue to exist until now... and still exist."

Great Swordsman Alvin knocked hard on the Wall of Holy Light with his fist, and the wall immediately emitted a recoil force, bouncing him away.

Great Swordsman Alvin set his eyes on Roy again and said to him:
"Roy, go look inside again, maybe you can find it! Be careful... don't get close to the frost dragon. Usually after a dragon dies, its body will be called back to the Dragon Cemetery by the Dragon God. The remains of this frost dragon are left here, so there must be some kind of restriction on it. It may be dangerous if you approach it rashly."

Roy couldn't resist the repeated urging of Great Swordsman Alvin, so he turned around and passed through the Wall of Holy Light.

Suddenly, the deterrent force from the remains of the frost dragon made him feel uncomfortable all over. A ray of warm holy light shone on Roy's body, and he immediately regained his ability to move.

Roy took a few steps inside, then turned back hesitantly and glanced at the great swordsman Alvin who was waving at him across the wall of holy light.

The frost dragon in front of me is really too big...

Perhaps because the cave was filled with holy light, Roy could clearly see the transparent ice crystals on the Frost Dragon's body. He did not get too close to the remains of the Frost Dragon, but instead avoided it from a distance, avoiding the dazzling jewels and gold under its body.

In fact, even the great swordsman Alvin outside the Wall of Holy Light was impressed by Roy when he saw that he was not moved at all by so many jewels and gold.

Not everyone can resist these gold jewels, not even the Silver Moon Elf nobles.

But after Roy entered the cave, he didn't even take a second look.

This should have originally been the lair of a frost dragon. Roy saw some shed dragon scales around the cave, and the cave walls were also very suitable for the dragon to reside.

In fact, Roy was looking forward to finding a dragon egg in the cave. He felt excited when he thought about feeding a dragon...

Roy walked inside and found that the interior of the cave was also covered with gold. Some ornaments such as crowns and bracelets were buried in the pile of gold coins.

These gold coins should not be obtained from the elves. Although the elves like gold jewelry, the currency circulating in the elven kingdom is Koler, which is actually a kind of sea shell.

Roy stepped on a few gold coins scattered on the ground, and the gold coins made a squeaking sound against the soles of his shoes.

Just as Roy turned around, he suddenly saw a corpse half lying against the corner of the rock wall. The corpse had completely decayed, with only a little dried skin wrapped around the skeleton. The body was covered with a layer of tattered priest robes, and on the head was a tall red hat that only temple priests were qualified to wear.

At this moment, the tall pointed hat has covered the skull.

He held a sacred prayer book in his arms and his other hand was in a prayer gesture.

In fact, Roy felt that there was something wrong with this cave from the beginning. When he saw the body of the temple priest, he remembered:

How could such pure holy light power exist in the core area where the dark energy is most concentrated? The holy light power can even condense into a wall of holy light, isolating everything from the outside world and forming a completely enclosed space.

So much holy light power definitely did not originally exist in the dark land.

Seeing the corpse of the priest in the cave, the power of holy light here had a reasonable explanation. Roy walked over, squatted in front of the corpse of the temple priest, and cast a purification spell on it, but unfortunately there was not a trace of soul power on the corpse of the temple priest.

Purification has no effect in a cave filled with a sacred aura.

The best way to bury an elf is to bury it under a tree. Its soul will turn into an elf that dances around the fountain of life...

However, Roy immediately discovered another thing. This skeleton did not seem to be the remains of an elf. The skeleton was slightly thicker, especially some of the joints were thicker, and the shape of the skull was also obviously different. Roy felt that this body was most likely that of a human.

He looked towards the wall and saw a shallow groove there, which looked like it had been chiseled out with a hammer.

Roy moved closer and saw a line of text on the wall. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand a single word of it. Although Roy didn't recognize what was written on it, he could confirm that the text was in the Green Empire language.

Roy thought that the words carved on the stone wall might be an epitaph, and the bottom line should be the year, month and day.

Roy did not touch the body of the temple priest, but took the book of Holy Light Prayer from him and turned the pages. The parchment pages were well preserved.

The text inside was still in the Green Empire language. The handwriting was very neat, and there were even some divine patterns drawn on it. Roy was very familiar with some of the divine patterns in it, but when he turned to the back, he had basically never seen those divine patterns before.

While flipping through the prayer book, a letter fell out from the pages.

Roy built it up smoothly. It was an unfinished letter. The handwriting was very neat, but the letter stopped only halfway through.

Roy felt that Great Swordsman Alvin was well-informed and might be familiar with the Green Empire language.

In addition to the half-finished letter, there was also a scroll inside the prayer book. Roy took a quick look and found that the lines drawn on the scroll might be the path that the temple priest had taken in the dark land.

Roy picked it up and held it in his hand.

Roy spread the temple priest's robes and hats in the stone trough, and then placed the bones one by one on it. After arranging them, he covered them with a piece of linen cloth, grabbed a few handfuls of gold coins from the side, and pressed them on the linen cloth.

After moving the corpse of the temple priest and lifting the priest's robe, Roy discovered that there was a piece of white jade bone emitting holy light hidden under the temple priest's buttocks.

This bone looked like the size of a pillow, and its entire body was as white as jade. It was also covered by the priest's robe, so Roy didn't notice it at first...

This bone is as white as jade, and exudes a rich holy light.

Roy thought that this was also something that the temple priest carried with him, so he prepared to put it in the stone trough and place it as a burial object for the temple priest.

But when Roy stretched out his hand and touched the piece of white jade bone, the powerful power of holy light broke through the finger bones, like a holy light needle rushing directly into Roy's brain.

What rushed into Roy's mind was a divine thought...

When it entered Roy's mind, he instantly seemed to be trapped in a temple filled with holy light.

He stood in the middle of the temple. The skylights around him shone with the strongest holy light. The holy light was extremely dazzling. In the midst of this dazzling holy light, an angel with pure wings appeared directly in front of Roy.

This pure winged angel was more than ten meters tall. He stopped in front of Roy and then used a special method to transmit his voice into Roy's ears:
'Dear believer! The holy light of the Statue of Liberty has always been shining upon you, allowing your soul to be purified in the holy light. Now, it is time for you to dedicate your body, open your heart, and accept... believers! Do you want to betray your faith?'

The originally sacred and solemn archangel showed a ferocious and panicked expression in front of Roy.

Roy raised his head and sent a message to the angel in front of him:
"I am not your believer, why should I accept your divine thoughts?"

That wisp of divine thought lingered in Roy's mind, but it could never occupy Roy's body. It hysterically questioned Roy:

"How can you become a priest if you are not my believer?"

A wisp of divine consciousness was about to escape back into that finger bone, but the pillow-sized finger bone turned into a rich holy light.

Roy stood there bathing in the holy light, and the pillow-like finger bones disappeared directly in his arms.

A trace of divine thought also quickly dissipated...

Then a holy light appeared from the sacred scepter on Roy's waist, and then it subsided in an instant.

Roy was also shocked when he saw the white jade bone disappear directly in his hand.

But then he discovered that the white jade bone had turned into a small finger bone, which appeared directly on his right thumb...

At the same time, the wall of holy light in the cave also disappeared.

The sacred atmosphere in the cave quickly dissipated...

The prayer book in his hand fell to the ground. Roy looked down and then bent down to pick it up.

Just as Roy bent down, the Book of Judgment hanging around his waist kept shaking, and one part of the copper cover happened to be rubbed very smooth.

Through the reflection of the smooth bronze mirror, Roy saw the great swordsman Alvin slowly approaching from behind him...

Originally, Roy wanted to straighten up and ask the great swordsman Alvin: How did he get in?

At this moment, Roy saw a hideous face emerging through the reflection of the smoothest area of ​​the Book of Judgment.

Roy was so frightened that every pore on his body opened up.

Completely caught off guard, Roy was horrified and quickly raised the Book of Judgment to block the crystal sword that was chopped down by the greatswordsman Alvin.

Roy had seen with his own eyes the great swordsman Alvin cut off a dark sickle with a crystal sword, so his Book of Judgment might not be able to block the sharp crystal sword. He raised the Book of Judgment to block it only subconsciously.

The crystal sword in the hands of the great swordsman Alvin fell on the copper cover of the Book of Judgment like a ghost. The copper cover was as fragile as melted cheese to the crystal sword...

But at the moment when the crystal sword touched the Book of Judgment, a shadow arrow flew out of the cave and hit the wrist of the great swordsman Alvin...
