Path of Light.

Chapter 676 677. The Dark Door Behind

At the Dark Portal on the Golfito Canyon side, there are usually only two Silver Moon Elves guarding the door.

Every time Roy transported a large amount of dark magic beast materials back from the Dark Land, he would bring a large group of half-elf guard warriors with him, and he was never stopped when passing through the Dark Portal.

This time, Roy's evacuation plan was to have 600 mine guards pass through the Dark Portal every day. These elven guards would not stay in Golfito Canyon after passing through the Dark Portal. They would leave Golfito Canyon as soon as possible and rush directly to the lake outside the canyon and board the magic airship moored by the lake.

In fact, four hundred human priests wearing elven magic armor will be mixed in with the evacuation team every day.

The total number of warriors evacuated from the Dark Portal each day will be one thousand.

After the Dark Portal was repaired by the magicians, the space rift was obviously more stable than before. A team of half-elf warriors passed through the Dark Portal. They did not line up in a neat row, but stood very closely to each other.

When this group of half-blood elf warriors entered the back garden of the Statue of Liberty Temple in Golfito Canyon, several priests of the Moon Temple who were originally guarding the back garden immediately hid far away, fearing that their bodies would become unclean if they came into contact with these half-blood elves...

Roy personally walked at the front of the team. The two Silver Moon Elf guards saw so many half-elf warriors coming out of the Dark Portal and did not think there was anything wrong.

The half-elf warriors walked very fast, their steps were somewhat disordered, and their footsteps merged into one, like the sound of dense drumbeats...

These half-elf warriors were like a group of lambs driven out of a sheepfold. After they walked out of the Dark Portal, there was no way to count their numbers.

After passing through the Dark Portal, the half-elf guards did not stop in the back garden of the Statue of Liberty...

Led by Roy, all the elf guards went directly through the backyard corridor and walked out from the side door of the Statue of Liberty along the continent between the valleys.

They left Golfito Canyon without stopping and went directly outside the canyon.

The lakeside dock had been cleared early, and all the elf warriors boarded the first magic airship.

Roy personally stood on the dock and watched with his own eyes as the floating device operated at full capacity. Under the huge thrust, the magic airship slowly rose from the lake...

There were many elven warriors from other legions around the lakeshore. They witnessed with their own eyes a magic airship taking off into the sky. Just a quarter of an hour later, the magic airship disappeared into the sky.

This magic airship will fly from Golfito to the sea outside the port of Murayaki. The 17th Silver Pegasus Legion only has air supremacy in this area. The magic airship will not be intercepted or questioned by other Silver Pegasus Legions when flying on this route.

Wait for the magic airship to arrive at Murayaki Port, fly directly to the open sea, and then fly directly to Partington Island from the open sea.

This was the flight route Roy had planned long ago.

This time, Deputy Captain Timothy will follow the first magic airship back to Partington Island. He will lead this group of elf guards through the Partington Island portal...

A temporary camp must also be established outside the city of Padstow to accommodate the elven guard warriors.

Seeing the magic airship disappear into the sky, Roy breathed a sigh of relief. The other eight captains stayed on their respective magic airships. Roy pointed to the second magic airship and signaled to him that he would bring the next batch of elf guards on board tomorrow.

……

Viscount Feleck also stood on the magic airship and waved to Roy...

He didn't expect that after Roy returned to Golfito, he would lead the mine guards back to Partington Island so soon.

As a result, the trade of magic beast materials in the Dark Land had to come to an abrupt end, so he simply followed Roy to Castletown City and signed a magic herb trade agreement with the imperial merchant Darwin. Next, he mainly purchased magic herbs in Murayaki City and then resold them to those imperial merchants.

Although he might still face difficulties from Count Stasa after returning to Murayaki City, as long as he behaves a little more low-key, he believes that Count Stasa will not continue to go crazy...

In fact, for Silver Moon Elves, finding a lover is a very common thing.

Count Stasa wanted to teach Felec a lesson only because this incident had caused a lot of uproar in the city.

Now so much time has passed, and during this period Viscount Felec has also communicated with others privately several times. Count Stasa has promised not to pursue the mistakes made by Felec.

Although this promise may be a bit watery, Count Stasa will never be too harsh in his treatment of Felec.

After all, we are all members of the aristocratic circle, and the aristocratic circle of the Silver Moon Elves is actually only the size of a palm...'

After all, the Silver Moon Elves don’t have the death penalty…

……

There are strong winds and waves on the island.

After nightfall, the roar of huge waves hitting the rocks continued to spread into the tree house of the Tree of Life.

Earl Swinburne turned around and drew the curtains behind him. He was tired of the fishy and salty smell of the sea breeze, but because the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion needed to be stationed on the Queen Eweni Islands all year round, he had to stay in the barracks.

He actually didn't want to send the Silver Moon Elf Guard Regiment, which had just been formed by the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, to the Dark Portal.

This Elf Guard Regiment has just entered the first phase of training. If they want to become qualified Elf Guard warriors, they will have to go through at least nine more stages of this phased training.

However, three urgent letters were sent from the Buenos Aires Military Headquarters in the past two months. When the Silver Moon Elf nobles in Buenos Aires heard that the Dark Portal was currently in the hands of a group of half-elf guards, they immediately lodged a strong protest to the Buenos Aires Military Headquarters.

These Silver Moon Elf nobles believe:
The gate to the dark land should not be in the hands of a group of half-elf warriors.

It’s not like the Silver Moon Elves don’t have an army. They can definitely send a Silver Moon Elves Guard to guard the Dark Portal. Moreover, the leader of this half-blood elf guard is suspected of killing Silver Moon Elves nobles...

Out of desperation, Earl Swinburne sent the newly formed Silver Moon Elf Guard to Golfito, and planned to transfer Roy and the mine guard from Golfito back to the Partington plane.

Counting the time, it has been nearly a month since this young Silver Moon Elf Guard arrived at Golfito Canyon.

But Roy's mine guards have been unable to evacuate the dark land...

The group of Silver Moon Elves that were protesting on Partington Island have already left the island. Earl Swinburne received this news the day before yesterday. He thought Roy would run to the Silver Pegasus military to complain to him.

Unexpectedly, Roy took a stance and suppressed the Partington Island protest.

Then we returned to the Dark Gate in Golfito Canyon without stopping...

This time, although Roy handled the Silver Moon Elves' protest very efficiently, he became worse in the eyes of the Silver Moon Elves.

Standing at the window, Earl Swinburne said to himself:
"It's better to transfer them back, then they can stay in the Partington plane for a while..."

'Tuk tuk tuk'

There was a knock on the door. Earl Swinburne turned around, looked at the door, and said casually, "Come in. What's the matter?"

The adjutant standing at the door hurried in and said to Earl Swinburne in a low voice:

"Count, the Silver Pegasus Scouting Team discovered the ships of the gray dwarf robbers outside the Queen Ewenni Islands..." Count Swinburne asked with a headache:
"How big is this fleet?"

"So far, only three three-masted sailing ships have been found..." replied the adjutant.

Then Lord Swinburne commanded:

"Have the reconnaissance team continue to follow them and make sure they are not lost. It would be best if we can find their hiding place at sea."

"Yes, Lord Earl!"

……

In the blink of an eye, the last batch of half-elf warriors also boarded the eighth magic airship.

As the magic airship rose directly into the sky, only the last magic airship was left moored at the lakeside, and the huge dock immediately became empty...

This pier that was built with great effort is about to be abandoned.

Without Roy's magic airships, there would be no need to build such a pier on this clear mountain lake.

Across the lake, the stream gurgles...

After being in Golfito Canyon for such a long time, Roy found that he had no interaction with those Unicorn Knights.

He stood on the dock by the lake with some reluctance, looking at the calm water. The heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled down a little.

Now, he could only hope that everything went well for the mine guards on Partington Island...

However, with the help of elves like Berkeley, Resander, and Tennyson in the Partington plane, it shouldn't be difficult to secretly settle down 3,000 human priests...

Tomorrow, Roy will take the last magic airship to Partington Island.

Currently, there are still 300 half-elf warriors packing up the tents and other supplies in the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp. These supplies of the mine guard regiment will go to Partington Island with Roy.

When Roy turned around, he saw that Mage Dunlop had brought a magician to the dock. Mage Dunlop was a magic scholar who studied black magic. Roy thought these magicians had already left Golfito, but he didn't expect to see Mage Dunlop here.

He quickly stood up and saluted Mage Dunlop.

"Roy, are you leaving Golfito too?" Magician Dunlop came over and asked kindly.

"Yes, Master Magician Dunlop." Roy said.

"No need to address me in such a formal way. You can just call me Teacher Dunlop." Magician Dunlop said kindly.

Roy usually had little contact with this mage, so he didn't know why he came to him at this time...

"I came here this time just to take Leah away. This child has a dark constitution and is most suitable for learning black magic." Magician Dunlop said to Roy.

"Um, Leah, please come down quickly. This matter is ultimately up to you to decide. I'm going to stay on the magic airship for a while."

Roy shouted to the sisters Leah and Alice who were standing on the side of the magic airship.

Leah was about to retract her head, so she could only stick her head out and smiled awkwardly at Roy and Mage Dunlop. Then, like a light-hearted deer, she supported herself on the side of the magic airship with one hand, jumped directly from the seven or eight meter high ship, and squatted steadily on the dock floor.
The moment her body touched the floor, she turned into a ball of black mist with a puff. When she appeared again, she was standing in front of Roy.

Magician Dunlop's eyes lit up and were full of anticipation.

He was obviously coming for Leah...

"You should learn more advanced black magic from me instead of joining the elven army so soon, Leah. You won't learn anything useful in the elven army..." Mage Dunlop said very bluntly.

But Roy hadn't walked far yet and heard these words clearly.

Roy could only pretend that he heard nothing and slowly walked onto the magic airship...

Alice also stayed on the magic airship and did not get off with Leah. Roy saw that her complexion was obviously getting better and better recently. On the Elf Continent, the power of holy light in her body was also slowly growing.

But recently, Leah always likes to come out of the cabin after dusk...

"Actually, I think Leah should learn the dark arts from Dunlop." Roy said to Alice in a low voice.

Alice shook her head and said in a very low voice: "She won't go back."

Roy was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Alice who was standing quietly at the side of the boat. Alice just turned to Roy and smiled sweetly without saying anything else.

Sure enough, not long after, Magician Dunlop, who was standing on the dock, turned around and left with the student. They boarded a magic carriage and drove straight towards a forest mountain road.

After standing on the dock for a while, Leah turned around and jumped onto the magic airship, her short hair flying as she jumped.

"You rejected Magister Dunlop's invitation?"

Roy asked Leah.

Leah nodded calmly and said casually:

"I am very satisfied with my current life and don't want to be separated from Alice, so I refused..."

"..."

Roy was speechless.

At this time, he still had to return to the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp. Although everything there had been completely cleaned up, the final handover had not yet been completed.

Walking along the mountain road at the entrance of the canyon, Roy looked at the slightly dilapidated Statue of Liberty in the valley. The dark atmosphere in the valley was thicker than when he first arrived. Passing through the Dark Gate, he saw the young Captain Steele arranging patrol tasks for the Silver Moon Elf Guards.

Roy thought for a moment, handed over a hand-drawn map, and said to Captain Steele:
"This is the map of known areas that the mine guards and I have explored in the Dark Land over the past year or so. These red circles are some wild demon hunting camps, this line is the expedition road, and these dots are expedition camps. However, I don't recommend you to explore the Dark Land. In addition, you have to be careful of the demon tide that erupts here. As long as you stay at the Dark Gate expedition camp, you won't be in trouble."

"Thank you for your reminder, Captain Roy."

Captain Steele took the map and thanked Roy happily. Obviously, he did not take Roy's warning to heart.

Roy and Captain Steele completed the final handover of the camp, and then returned to Golfito Canyon from the Dark Portal without looking back...
