Path of Light.

Chapter 642 643. Rescued
Just as Leah dragged Roy into the abyss, the great swordsman Alvin caught up with them.

The crystal sword in his hand almost brushed past the tip of Leah's hair, and the sword energy released was thrown directly into the black fog.

The mist surged, and countless ghosts rushed over with bared fangs and claws...

Before this, the thick black fog had never been able to flow into the Dragon Cave, but this time the black fog actually spread into the Dragon Cave.
But after spreading for a few meters, it stopped again.

The great swordsman Alvin was forced to take a few steps back at the cave entrance by the black fog, and watched unwillingly as Leah and Roy disappeared in the black fog...

He didn't have the heart to do it, and followed the two people into the black fog...

Because he knew that there was a bottomless abyss in front of him. When he first arrived here, Alvin was still beside the rock wall, throwing down some stones himself. After these stones fell, no sound was heard, and the same was true for the magic flares thrown down...

Great Swordsman Alvin even thought that this place might have once been an ocean.

It so happens that an abyss appeared here in Haiti…

The sea water will continue to flow into the abyss, and the sea will slowly disappear. Moreover, this abyss is still constantly swallowing up the sand of the Haiti.

He inserted the crystal sword into the scabbard at his waist and looked at the black fog for a few more times.

Thinking about returning to the magic cabin, I could not avoid being repeatedly questioned by the magicians about the whereabouts of Roy and Leah, and I had no answers at all...

When he turned around and walked into the dragon's lair, Great Swordsman Alvin made up his mind not to return to the magic cabin.

He wants to take away all the goodies in the Frost Dragon's treasure...

……

After Leah pulled Roy into the black fog, her body also turned into a ball of black fog.

The black mist swept Roy down.

Roy found himself tightly wrapped in a magic cloak. His body was falling in the black fog, and then even his head was covered by the hood of the magic cloak...

I can't see the ghosts in the black fog, I can only feel the whistling sound of the wind around me.

Leah hugged Roy tightly...

She even used a piece of leather belt to tie the two of them together at the waist. Then Leah took out a bundle of hooks from her arms. During the fall, one end was hooked directly on the belt buckle, and the other end was inserted into the crevice of the rock wall next to her.

The grappling hook left a streak of sparks on the rock wall. During this process, Leah's body suddenly tensed up. A shadow of a goat-horned demon even appeared behind her. Then the grappling hook hooked into a crack in the rock...

Leah and Roy continued to fall, and the rope on Leah's arm quickly unfolded.

Finally, they were pulled straight against the rock wall, and Leah and Roy were tied together. Although the buckle took all the impact, Leah still groaned, and the force of falling almost broke her waist.

The two were tied together and hung on the rock wall at the edge of the abyss, swaying from side to side.

Roy wanted to move and find a way to get the two of them out because he found that Leah might be injured.

But Leia quickly stopped Roy's action, made a gesture to silence him, and wrapped him tightly with a magic cloak.

She looked at the ghosts wandering around. There were many such ghosts in the black fog. They seemed to be completely unable to see Leah. They floated around Leah and never noticed Leah at the edge of the rock wall.

After Leah took a breath, she got out of the buckle and let the buckle hook continue to hang Roy, while she stuck to the rock wall and climbed up along the rope...

Leah quickly found a temporary foothold on the rock wall. The raised stone platform was just big enough for two people to rest.

Leah fixed the rope on the stone platform again, then she held the rope with both hands and pulled Roy up with great effort. Roy, still wrapped in the magic cloak, sat on the ledge and rested for a while. Then Leah continued to climb up the stone wall.

Leah is like a flexible gecko, she can easily climb on the rock wall...

Then Leah sent some signals to Roy through the rope, and Roy knew that Leah wanted to continue pulling him up.

He did not struggle too much, allowing Leah to use the grappling hook to pull him into a crevice in the rock wall.

This crevice was obviously not very deep, but there was a very good foothold there, enough for two people to hide.

Leah brought Roy here and asked him to hide deep in the crevice. Then she sat beside Roy with a bitter face and said worriedly:

"What should we do? If we go back now, will they kill us to silence us? Alice is still in the magic cabin. I have to find a way to rescue her."

Roy lifted the hood of his magic cloak. He was wrapped in two magic cloaks and was sweating all over.

"Master Mage Cedric would not do such a thing to us. I feel that it is only Great Swordsman Alvin who wants to kill me." Roy whispered, "As long as we return to the magic cabin, we will be safe."

Hearing Roy say this, Leah finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good. I was worried that the magicians would collude with Alvin and want to kill us. Alice is still in the magic cabin..."

She paused here, and then calmed down before saying, "Don't move for a moment, just hide in the magic cloak, and I will pull you up."

Just as Roy was about to refuse, he heard Leah continue:

"There are ghosts everywhere here. You must not let them sense your presence, otherwise it will be a big trouble..."

……

Leah continued to climb up along the dark rock wall...

Roy sat on the stone ground deep in the crevice. He closed his eyes and thought about the shadow of the angel.

That divine thought wanted to occupy Roy's body, but was eventually driven out by him...

The piece of white jade as big as a pillow disappeared in his hand in an instant...

A large amount of holy light aura poured into Roy's body. Before Roy could take the time to absorb it slowly, the great swordsman Alvin attacked him from behind...

The events that just happened appeared before Roy's eyes one by one.

Roy discovered that only when devout believers opened their hearts would those foreign divine thoughts take advantage of the opportunity to enter...

If Roy refused directly, even his divine consciousness would not be able to take over his body.

After the white jade disappeared, the phalanx in the middle of Roy's right little finger changed a little. It was like a source of holy light, constantly overflowing with holy light and filling Roy's body...

And the tree of holy light in Roy's body began to grow stronger.

Branches and leaves grew everywhere on the dense tree canopy, countless flowers of light blossomed on the tree canopy, and those faint particles of holy light fell down again.

Roy felt as if there was a powerful invisible hand in front of him, helping him to tear off the layers of film in front of him. Then the colors in front of his eyes became richer and richer. His perception at this moment could even penetrate the black fog of more than ten meters.

The abundant power of holy light completely transformed his arms into pure holy light.

The huge holy light immediately attracted several ghosts.

Seeing the ghost flying towards him, Roy quickly retreated into his magic cloak, not daring to continue to reveal any aura of holy light. …

Roy waited for Leah in the crevice for a long time...

Just when Roy thought that Leah was in some trouble and was about to climb up along the rope, the rope in front of him moved.

It was the person above who pulled the rope.

Roy hung the rope on the buckle and tucked himself into his magic cloak...

Then Roy found that the rope began to tighten, and then Roy was pulled up smoothly.

When they reached the edge of the abyss, Roy lifted his magic cloak and looked out, only to find that Byron Thor, the dwarf uncle Linglan Bronzebeard, and the great magician Darakli were all on the ledge of the abyss.

Everyone looked at Roy with concern, his face was covered in blood.

Although the blood had dried and the wound had begun to heal, the bloodstained face still made everyone very worried...

Especially the dwarf uncle Linglan Bronzebeard, who stood in front of Roy and cursed at the great swordsman Alvin:
"I've long said that Alvin is a hypocrite, but you guys still refused to believe me. Now you finally know."

"I said that we should act according to our own plan, follow the expedition route to find the remains of our old friends, bring them back to the Elf Continent, and then our small group will disband. Byron, you will continue to stay in the tavern in the small harbor and drink every day. Darakli, you should go back to your magic tower to continue your studies. As for me, I will cross the Endless Sea and return to the Principality of Tandon, the dwarf kingdom..."

"If Roy is really killed by Alvin this time, Byron, will you feel guilty?"

After saying this last sentence, Linglan Bronzebeard turned around and asked Byron Thor.

Byron Thor remained silent.

Roy and Leah could only sit aside silently and listen to the dwarf uncle's complaints.

Roy didn't expect that Leah would actually climb out of the abyss and find Byron Thor and the dwarf uncle to come and rescue him...

It seemed that she was worried that Great Swordsman Alvin might be hiding near the abyss.

Roy briefly described the attack process, and Byron Thor asked the great magician Dalakli to invite the magician Elaud.

The great magician Dalakli stood up and walked back...

Not long after Grand Mage Dalakli went out, Mage Elaud and Mage Joyce were brought over by Grand Mage Dalakli.

Also coming along was the great magician Opeia.

Mage Elaud passed through the curtain of quicksand and walked into the entrance of the dragon cave at the edge of the abyss. He saw Roy sitting against the rock wall to rest. Although his face was covered in blood, he looked very energetic. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After walking closer and taking a closer look, he found that there was a vertical wound on Roy's forehead and the magic pattern structure on his body was also scratched.

After listening to Roy's account of the entire incident, Mage Elaud finally understood what Roy had just experienced.

Mage Elaud knew very well that Roy would still need to accompany them on their subsequent journey into the dark land.

If anything happened to Roy, it would mean they would have to find another priest.

There used to be many priests in the Dark Land, but if you want to find a suitable priest now, you may have to try your luck at the Brinia Expeditionary Force Camp.

This is going to make things very troublesome...

Fortunately, Roy is not seriously injured.

Mage Elaud continued to ask:
"Teacher Cedric is still dealing with the bone dragon. Roy, how did you get into a conflict with Great Swordsman Alvin? He has always had a very good reputation in the capital of Buenos Aires, and he is also a swordsmanship instructor hired by the Elf Royal Family. I find it hard to believe that he would attack you for no reason. Did the two of you have a conflict? And Great Swordsman Alvin is missing too?"

Roy didn't know where the Great Swordsman Alvin was either.

But since Mage Elaud was here, Roy led everyone into the dragon's lair at the edge of the abyss.

It was pitch black inside the cave, and Roy lit up two balls of sacred light to light the way for everyone.

The wall of holy light that Roy mentioned has completely disappeared at this moment.

According to Roy, when he moved the body of the temple priest in the dragon's lair, the wall of holy light disappeared.

The cave was filled with a rich holy aura, but there was no light at all.

Only the frost dragon lying on the pile of treasures was emitting a crystal light...

There was no one else in the cave. The ground was covered with dust and there were many messy footsteps, some from Roy and some from Great Swordsman Alvin.

In fact, before entering the depths of the dragon's lair, Mage Elaud was still a little skeptical of what Roy said.

Based on the reputation that Great Swordsman Alvin had accumulated over the years in the capital of Buenos Aires, he didn't believe that Great Swordsman Alvin would attack Roy from behind...

But now, Roy led everyone into the frost dragon's lair.

The footprints on the ground, the traces left after the fight, and Roy and Leah's vivid descriptions, all the evidence pointed to the great swordsman Alvin.

"That is the remains of the Frost Dragon..."

When the great magician Darakli saw the remains of the Frost Dragon, he couldn't help but walk towards the Frost Dragon.

Oppaia was also going to go over there...

The two were stopped by Joyce.

Magister Elaud stood aside and explained to the two great magicians:
"The skin of the Ice Dragon has natural magic patterns, and the dragon skin itself contains magic power, which can ensure the normal operation of these natural magic patterns. You can see that there is a thin layer of ice crystals on the surface of the dragon scales. It seems nothing special, but the remains of this Frost Dragon are actually very dangerous. Anyone who touches it directly will be frozen into an ice sculpture. To collect the leather of this Frost Dragon, we must use special means..."

At this time, Magician Joyce was checking the footprints left by Roy and Great Swordsman Alvin in the cave. As he checked, he said:

"These are Alvin's footprints. It seems that he has been here before and had a fierce battle with Roy. It seems that Leah also participated in the battle... Hey! You two actually escaped from a second-level great swordsman. It's amazing!"

Magician Elaud turned to Grand Magician Oppaia and said:

"Opeia, go see if Teacher Cedric has finished his work and call everyone over. We will need to spend some time to take away the treasure of this frost dragon."

Opea quickly responded, "Okay, Mr. Elaud."

At this time, Mage Elaud said to Roy:

"Even though all the evidence points to Alvin now, I still find it hard to believe that Alvin would do such a thing. The Magic Guild may conduct a follow-up investigation on this matter."

Roy sighed in his heart and thought:
Great Swordsman Alvin is a Silvermoon Elf noble. There are certain reasons why the Magic Guild is reluctant to make a hasty conclusion.

He originally wanted to talk about the jade, but now he thought about it and decided to keep it to himself.
