Path of Light.

Chapter 653 654. Boss Roy's Business

A fallen angel was sealed in the center of the magic circle, with dark angel wings wrapped around her completely blackened skin. Her arms were firmly locked with two thorium chains, and there were also two thorium chains on her ankles. She lowered her head, and her messy long hair covered her face, so her features could not be seen. A trace of magic power was drawn from the fallen angel and continuously transported into the magic hub.

The soul fire in the eye sockets of the six surrounding liches was almost completely extinguished.

The legendary wizard Ensman came to a lich that was running out of energy, pointed his magic wand at the lich, and said to everyone:

"This lich can no longer hold on. Although they are undead creatures, they have not replenished their soul power for a long time, and the magic circle has continuously drained the magic power in their bodies. Now they can no longer maintain the soul fire in their bodies."

Turning to the Great Magician Cedric, he said:

"Go and bring in the lich outside. We will replace this lich first. Pay attention to my movements and the order of the magic. You will take care of the other two liches. Seal them in this magic circle."

"Yes, teacher." Grand Mage Cedric quickly agreed.

Without waiting for Grand Magister Cedric's orders, several great magicians behind him filed out of the underground secret room and arrived at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp.

They summoned four earth giants in the camp. These four powerful earth giants actually lifted up a giant ice coffin that was ten meters long. Then, under the control of several great magicians, they walked into the wooden house built by the magicians without saying a word.

Not long after, the magic circle around the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp suddenly began to fluctuate, and the magic beams transmitted to the top of the Dark Gate were suddenly interrupted for two seconds. Then all the magic beams were completely restored, and the entire Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp was once again covered by the magic shield...

……

Roy led a team of half-elf guards across the Dark Portal. This time he actually felt that the vortex of the space crack in the Dark Portal had become a little more stable. After walking out of the Dark Portal, they arrived at the back garden of the Golfito Statue of Liberty.

Guarding the door was a team of Silver Moon Elf guards. They were also startled when they saw Roy and the half-elf guards suddenly standing on the steps.

Then someone recognized Roy and greeted him: "Captain Roy, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Recently, I have been on a mission in the Dark Land, so I haven't had the chance to return to Golfito..." Roy said casually.

Roy took out the pass from his body and handed it to the Silver Moon Elf Guard. The Silver Moon Elf Guard verified it and let Roy pass.

Two priests of the Moon Temple stood in front of the Dark Portal, staring at Roy silently.

Roy nodded politely to them, but the two Moon Temple priests remained expressionless and looked away from Roy, as if the person standing in front of them was just a piece of air...

These Moon Temple priests have always been the same, and Roy has long been accustomed to it.

After returning to Golfito, Roy had to pay a visit to Legion Commander Gabrielles as usual.

It happened that Commander Gabrielle Reis was handling daily business in the main hall. When Roy walked into the main hall, Commander Gabrielle Reis waved to the several Silver Moon Elves leaders in front of him and asked them to leave first.

After Roy walked over, Captain Gabreth asked him:
"Roy, you accompanied Grand Mage Cedric into the dark land this time. Did these magicians find what they needed?"

"Although we have found some, it is still not enough. We have to go deeper into the dark land along the expedition road and continue searching." Roy replied.

Legion Commander Gabreth nodded slightly, frowned, and asked:
"Do you want to continue to enter the Dark Land? You have been in the Dark Land for more than half a year, so you should know something about it. What do you think of the current situation in the Dark Land?"

Roy quickly introduced:
"The Dark Gate Expeditionary Force camp is in a relatively hidden location. There are very few dark beasts near the camp. Usually, only a few dark creatures are active around. However, four months ago, our scouts found traces left by the Dark Legion in a deep valley 100 kilometers away from the camp. In addition, some magic tides occasionally appear in the dark land. I will send out a reconnaissance team to continue to observe these abnormal situations."

Hearing what Roy said, Legion Commander Gabreth breathed a sigh of relief. His main job as the Legion Commander in Golfito was to ensure that the Dark Portal was not occupied by the forces of darkness. He leaned forward, patted Roy on the shoulder twice, and encouraged him:

"You did a great job. I originally transferred your mine guard regiment to the Dark Portal to ease the internal conflicts in the legion. I only wanted your guard regiment to stay at the Dark Portal camp for half a year and then transfer you back from the Dark Land. I didn't expect you to do such a great job there."

Roy stood up and saluted Captain Gabreth.

This was the most harmonious time for the two of them to get along, and Roy did not mention how long it would take to withdraw from the dark land.

As he strode out of the main hall, many Silver Moon Elf leaders recognized Roy along the way and greeted him.

……

Roy's second stop was the Second Silver Pegasus Knights camp.

Captain Malthus was indeed in the military camp. He was on the training ground, holding an elven sword in his hand, and was training a group of Silver Pegasus Knights in swordsmanship.

A team of silver Pegasus knights were about to go patrolling the sky. They led the silver Pegasus out of the camp, rode on the silver Pegasus, and then suddenly flew into the sky. At the moment of taking off, dozens of silver Pegasus took off at the same time, and the scene was very spectacular.

When everyone saw Roy coming to the camp with a team of half-elf guards, they greeted them warmly.

Captain Malthus stopped training, handed the wooden training sword in his hand to the adjutant beside him, picked up a towel from the shelf, wiped the sweat off his face while walking to the edge of the training ground, and the two men bumped fists.

Captain Malthus asked excitedly:

"Roy, are you back from the dark land?"

"We can only rest for a few days. We may set off again at any time." Roy said to Captain Malthus.

"Do you want to go into the dark place again?"

"Hmm!" Roy looked around the camp. It seemed that there were several more military camps in the canyon. He asked Captain Malthus, "Is everything okay in Golfito Canyon?"

Captain Malthus snorted and said:

"With you blocking the other side of the Dark Portal, nothing can happen to us. However, recently, several more guard regiments have entered the canyon, and our army has grown a lot."

The two walked and talked...

The bathroom in the camp was still the same as when Roy left. There was a sword training ground and an archery range in the camp. The stables for the silver Pegasus had also been renovated, and the golden clover they usually ate was piled up like a small mountain in the camp.

As soon as I entered the military tent, an adjutant brought me some berries and lemon tea.

While pouring tea for Roy, Captain Malthus said to him:
"Lord Swinburne wrote to say that the situation in Queen Eweni Islands has completely stabilized. It won't be long before a group of knights will come to relieve us. By then, I think your mine guards will have to withdraw with us."

"Ah, are we going to arrange for troops to come over to relieve the guard so soon?"

Roy was peeling an orange. When he heard Captain Malthus say this, he looked up in surprise. Captain Malthus nodded:

"The mine guards have been stationed at the Dark Gate for nearly ten months. Now the guards in the Golfito military have almost figured out that the Dark Gate expeditionary camp is not as dangerous as rumored. So they no longer refuse the transfer order from Captain Gabreth. It is estimated that it won't be long before your guards can return to Golfito."

"Earl Swinburne also hopes that you can return to the Partington plane as soon as possible to take charge of the situation on the Pagisto Plateau. They have already started preparing to replace the troops."

Roy touched his forehead and said to Captain Malthus:
"This time, we returned to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp. It was just a temporary decision made by the magicians. I don't think it will take long. I still have to accompany them into the dark land. How long it will take is still unknown..."

……

The scenery inside and outside the Golfito Canyon is completely different. Outside, there are green mountains and clear waters, while inside, there is a thin dark air floating. Only the Statue of Liberty is surrounded by a large amount of holy light...

There are nine magic airships moored in the small lake outside the canyon. Now, a wooden dock has been built next to the magic airships, and even a warehouse area has been planned.

Viscount Felec was lying on a rattan chair at the very edge of the pier, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and a glass of orange wine filled with ice cubes was placed on the small table next to him.

On the calm lake surface, only a fishing float made of feather can be seen.

Although Viscount Felec was fishing, his eyes were fixed on the elf girl who was bathing a unicorn across the lake, and he never left her gaze for a moment.

Even when Roy came to him, Viscount Felec didn't notice.

The half-elf crew members who stayed on the magic airship ran to the side of the ship and saluted Roy in unison.

There were at least two hundred half-elf crew members on the nine magic airships. Their large-scale action immediately attracted the attention of the elves by the lake...

Roy waved his hand casually at them and asked them to disperse.

It was only then that Viscount Felec noticed Roy standing beside him, and he was so scared that he rolled off the rattan chair.

"Roy, when did you come back?"

Roy reached out and pulled Viscount Felec up. The two clasped hands tightly and bumped shoulders hard.

"I just came back to the camp to rest for a few days. How is the magic material market going recently?" Roy asked.

"After a few months of settling down, the price of dark monster materials has risen again, but it will probably take a few more months to return to the original price." Viscount Felec sat down again and said to Roy.

Roy nodded slightly, and then asked:

"Have the Imperial merchants been contacted?"

"Of course, they have a big appetite and the price they offer is also reasonable. I sold almost all of the goods later to these imperial merchants."

Speaking of this, Viscount Feleck looked very excited.

Told Roy some interesting stories about his dealings with the Empire merchants.

Roy sat on a rattan chair and said to Viscount Feleck, "I brought back a large number of dark magic beast materials this time. Some of them are quite precious. I guess I have to take them to the auction house."

Viscount Feleck responded immediately: "I know that Murayaki City holds private auctions regularly. As long as there are high-level magic beast materials, I can send them for auction. Captain Roy, what are you going to sell?"

"A piece of skin from a level 5 dark monster two-headed snake demon. The quality is pretty good. There is also a snake tooth..." Roy replied.

Viscount Feleck's eyes lit up immediately. He put his arm around Roy's shoulders and whispered to him:

"Roy, I think it's a waste for you to be the leader of the guard. You should leave the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion and let's join forces to do business. I estimate that it won't take long before we can monopolize the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom's magical beast material market."

Roy slapped his hand away, looked at his handsome and restless face, and responded:

"Forget it. I think it's good now. It's actually quite convenient to have a military background."

Viscount Feleck chuckled:
"That's true..."

……

After Roy processed the batch of Warcraft materials, he gave his own handwritten reply letter to Viscount Felek and asked him to send someone to deliver it to Murayaki City for mailing. Then he returned to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp.

When I arrived at the holy water pool in the center of the camp, I saw Alice sitting by the pool, staring blankly at the Dark Gate opposite.

Half of her skirt almost slipped into the pool, but she seemed to be completely unaware...

Some half-elf guard warriors were also practicing magic by the pool.

Roy was about to walk over, but was stopped by the Great Magician Grams, who said, "My teacher asked me to tell you not to leave the expedition camp in the next few days, because we may set off at any time."

The teacher he was referring to was naturally Mage Elaud.

"Are we leaving so soon?" Roy asked.

"The work here is progressing very quickly. Once Master Ensman leaves the camp, we will also set off..." said Great Magician Grams.

"Well... I never knew the identity of Master Ensman. Who is he exactly? Why does Grand Mage Cedric have to be so respectful to him?" Roy asked curiously.

"I can tell you that you can, but you can't tell anyone else." Great Magician Grams lowered his voice and said, "He is the teacher of Cedric's Great Mage, and one of the three legendary wizards in the Magic Guild of the Elf Continent."

"So he is a rank 4 legendary expert? I didn't even realize it..."

Roy held his mouth and stared in surprise.

"Well, Lord Ensman is a legendary wizard. He came here this time just for... for those liches. Well, I'm leaving first. I won't chat with you anymore. See you in the magic cabin later."

The great magician Grams probably felt that he had let something slip, so he simply said a few words and slipped away.
