Path of light

Chapter 291 292. Return

Roy only felt that the icebergs around his body turned into an endless abyss.

As the water around him gradually warmed up, a pair of invisible hands lifted his body out of the sea. At this moment, a strange yet familiar voice called softly in his ear:

"Roy, Roy, wake up..."

He felt the warm sunshine on his face and opened his eyes.

A ray of sunlight penetrated the woods and just fell on him. In his sight, two mixed-race elf teenagers wearing leather jackets and antler leather hats were staring at Roy nervously. They saw Roy's eyelids kept trembling, and he immediately shouted happily:

"His eyes moved, moved...he came to life, my God, I thought he was frozen to death, but he is so tenacious."

Kaka was so excited that she was a little incoherent and kept venting her excitement to little Eugene.

"Please, I saw it! Besides...it's not as exaggerated as you said, okay! He has been breathing, and his heart is warm. Maybe his body is sleeping in the extreme cold, like a bear overwintering." Little Eugene Analyzed calmly from the side.

"I know, I'm just a little excited, Roy, you finally woke up!" Kaka wiped the wet warm liquid from the corners of his eyes and said.

"Kaka, little Eugene, why are you? Where am I?"

Roy remembered that when he fell asleep, he was still hanging on the handle of the magic pot...

At that time, Benjamin was on the northern cliff of the Griffin Mountains. He wanted to climb over the Griffin Mountains. He didn't know if he succeeded... It seemed that he had succeeded. Otherwise, he would not have met Kaka and Little Eugene. They would not Easily run to the north of the Griffin Mountains.

"I saw you unconscious on the top of the mountain, so I secretly rescued you from the two bad guys while they were sleeping." Kaka said quickly.

Roy saw himself soaking in a warm pool. No wonder he had that strange feeling just now.

He tried to move his arms. There were black and purple knots on his wrists, and all the joints in his body were very stiff, especially his knees, which he could hardly bend.

He reluctantly leaned back to make himself more comfortable in the puddle.

"It turns out you guys saved me. I thought I was dead this time! Thank you, Kaka, and thank you, little Eugene..."

"Why don't you thank me? We are friends. Isn't it right for friends to help each other?" Kaka said happily.

Seeing that Roy was conscious but his body still needed to recover, he told the story of how they met Roy.

Only then did Roy realize how unlucky Benjamin and Abt were. The Griffin Mountains, which stretched for hundreds of kilometers, happened to meet Kaka and little Eugene.

Probably the potion Kaka gave Roy to drink had some effect. Roy felt a sting like needles all over his body, but at least he could move slowly.

Unfortunately, he couldn't use the secondary healing technique on himself, so he could only soak in the pool.

"What happened? Who are the two bad guys who arrested you?" Kaka asked Roy.

He and little Eugene were sitting on the grass nearby, grinding a medicinal herb. It is said that applying this medicinal herb to the body can activate blood circulation and remove blood clots.

"Speaking of my grudges with them... this topic is a bit long. Anyway, they wanted to get a key from me, but I didn't want to give it to them, so they designed a trap and caught me." Roy said.

Kaka heard what Roy said and said angrily: "They are indeed bad guys!"

"The magician among them is a slave trader, and the other one is an exiled murderer." Roy said, "I just hope it won't cause you any trouble..."

"It doesn't matter. They are probably still freezing on the top of the mountain this time. Since they are slave traders and murderers, there is nothing to be pitiful about. Let them stay on the top of the mountain for a while." Kaka said casually.

Kaka and little Eugene did not take Roy back to the village. They built Roy a very simple cabin by the waterhole, while Roy soaked in the waterhole. This waterhole seemed to have some healing powers. Power, Roy could feel a trace of life force constantly nourishing his body.

Hearing Kaka say that Benjamin and Abt were trapped on the mountain, Roy didn't ask in detail what was going on.

After he woke up, he felt as if countless needles were pricking his body. His eyelids became heavy after he casually said a few words, and he fell asleep again without realizing it.

When Roy woke up again, it was completely dark, and instead of continuing to soak in the pool, he was in a very small tree house. Roy could even smell the smell of tree oil emanating from the surroundings. .

It was pitch dark all around. He reluctantly moved his hands and found that his arms were fine, so he supported his body and sat up reluctantly.

Roy tried swinging his arms and grasping, and as a series of prayers were recited, a holy light flowed from his fingers.

Roy had a very strange feeling this time. He didn't even need to concentrate. As his thoughts rose, the holy light naturally flowed out from his fingertips very smoothly...

It's like a performer playing a skillful piece of music, smooth, natural, and even able to integrate into his own emotions.

‘low light illumination’

A ball of sacred light floated in front of him, and the faint light just illuminated the wooden house. The wooden house was very small, and because it was built very hastily, there were no windows, only a very simple door.

The whole wooden house is just big enough for one person to lie down, and it is built on a branch of a tree.

Roy tried to climb out and found a ladder at the door of the wooden house. There was a pool of water not far from the wooden house, reflecting a faint light.

Sitting at the door of the wooden house, Roy used the 'secondary healing technique' several times, and then he felt much better...

Roy checked his whole body carefully. He was only wearing a set of thin and worn linen clothes.

This blanket covering the body was probably stolen from home by Kaka and little Eugene.

Roy had nothing but this linen suit.

After a while, Roy felt his stomach start to growl.

It had been a long time since he had eaten anything. He was about to walk out of the wooden house and look for something to eat around him. Suddenly he smelled the fruity aroma emanating from the surroundings. Roy followed the scent and turned to look at the corner, only to find that in the corner of the wooden house There are even some fruits piled up.

It seemed that Kaka and little Eugene had prepared food for him before leaving.

Pick up an apple and put it into your stomach in a few bites.

The sweet juice flows into the stomach, and I feel that all the joints in my body are screaming...

…

Roy later discovered that the sacred tree, which was completely integrated with his body, was constantly absorbing the surrounding holy light particles, as if every time he breathed, he could inhale those holy light particles into his body.

So he sat at the door of the wooden house and kept absorbing the particles of holy light around him for most of the night.

When Roy opened his eyes full of energy, it was already dark.

This is obviously the jungle in the southern part of the Griffin Mountains. There are almost no traces of elves' activities in the forest, and there are many small beasts in the jungle. Most of the small beasts are not too afraid of elves. Seeing Roy sitting at the door of the wooden house, he also He looked towards the wooden house with his head and head.

After a full night's rest, Roy had fully recovered.

He walked down the wooden ladder with bare feet. The traces of the ropes on his ankles and wrists completely disappeared, and the tingling sensation disappeared from his body.

After walking around the forest glade, sure enough, to the north is the majestic Griffin Barrier Mountains...

Roy squatted by the pool and washed his face, and then moved a little in the forest glade. Looking at the towering Barrier Mountain, Roy was a little worried and thought about how to get back to Barrier Village. Instructor Nora He must be anxious.

…

"Roy, are you okay?"

Kaka ran out of the forest quickly with a lot of fruit in his pocket, looking at him in surprise.

Roy stopped, turned to Kaka and said, "It's nothing serious..."

Kaka put the fruits in his pocket into the wooden house and said: "I thought you would live in this tree house for a long time. Little Eugene and I also wanted to decorate the tree house. Now it seems that it is unnecessary. ”

"This time I was brought here by those two guys from the foot of the North Mountain. I don't know what the chaos will be like in the Barrier Village. Instructor Nora and the others must be very anxious. Can you use the gryphon to send me back? " Roy asked.

"Of course, but I can't cross the boundary of the Barrier Mountains. The most I can do is send you under the cliff. There may be a section of the road that you need to walk by yourself."

Kaka handed Roy a fruit that needed to be peeled, and he picked up one and gnawed it.

It's slightly sour, not sweet at all, and the aroma is very special...

"Didn't you say last time that if you come here again, you'll just wander around in the jungle in the southern part of the Barrier Mountains? It's best to fly to the beach for a look... You haven't seen anything yet, are you ready to go back?" Kaka asked, staring at Roy.

"Well, I won't go shopping this time," Roy said.

"Okay then! Let's set off when little Eugene comes... It's too cold on the mountain, so thin clothes like yours won't work. I'll get you a blanket later."

Kaka readily agreed without even thinking about it.

Before long, little Eugene also rushed over.

Kaka went back and brought Roy a fur cloak and wrapped it around him.

Then, Kaka called out his griffin, and he comforted the uneasy big guy.

Let Roy ride on the griffin's furry back, and Kaka also rode on...

After both of them were ready, the griffon that was lying on the ground suddenly jumped into the sky, spread its wings and flapped violently for more than a dozen times. The griffin's huge body carried Kaka and Roy and slowly flew out of the woods. Keep gliding forward.

Every time it flaps its wings, it flies dozens of meters straight ahead...

The warm wind blowing against his face made Roy feel relaxed and happy. The jungle gradually became smaller, and Roy could clearly see its general outline.

Unfortunately, there are many clouds in the sky in the morning. When the gryphon burrows into the clouds, Roy will not be able to see the jungle below...

The gryphon flew faster and faster in the air.

At high altitudes, it can still glide on the air currents.

Little Eugene always followed Kaka silently.

After flying out for a long time, Kaka took Roy to the top of the cliff where he was found. There was a cliff, which was a stone platform protruding from the mountain. It seemed to be only a few dozen square meters in size.

"Usually little Eugene and I would rest there. That's where I found them yesterday morning. Originally, I wanted to take a look at the burning metal plate, but I didn't expect to see you lying next to the fire. You were unconscious on the ground, your whole body was frozen..."

Kaka said to Roy.

At this moment, the griffin's four claws were firmly grasping a smooth cliff. Kaka and Roy hugged the griffin tightly and peeked at the stone platform not far away.

The bonfire on the stone platform has been extinguished.

What Kaka and little Eugene didn't expect was that it took just one day.

There was actually only one mixed-blood elf left on the stone cliff. The human magician had turned into a corpse. There was a dagger stuck in his chest. The mixed-blood elf was holding a skinning knife. One of the magician's arms was dismembered. The corpse was frozen solid, and no blood flowed from the severed arm.

Kaka, little Eugene and Roy who were lurking next to the rock cliff were all dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, Benjamin died in just one day.

"How did he die?"

"With this dagger stuck in his chest, he probably didn't die from cold or disease, right?"

"What on earth is that half-blood elf doing?"

Kaka kept muttering...

Although they knew the answer, no one wanted to believe it.

"Can you help me catch him? I will take him back and let him accept the trial of the Council of Elders..." Roy sat behind Kaka, hugging the griffin's body tightly, and said to Kaka said.

"Walk……"

Kaka shook the reins in his hand, and the griffin bounced off the cliff. At the same time, its wings spread out, and its body fell suddenly, then turned around in the sky before taking off again.

After just a simple spin in the air, Roy was already dizzy.

The griffin let out a shrill cry, folded its wings, and an iron shell appeared all over its body.

'Iron Will'

Before Roy could react, the griffon hit the platform like a cannonball, and the huge impact shattered a large piece of rock.

Stone chips and ice cubes were flying, and Abt was among the gravel. He was pushed by the huge impact and fell directly against the wall. He actually fainted in the flying rocks.

Roy, who was riding on the back of the griffin, experienced the power of 'Iron Will' firsthand, almost causing a big hole in the platform.

Sure enough, under the protection of iron will, Kaka and Roy were not injured, and the griffin struggled to climb out of the pit...

Kaka and Roy jumped off the back of the gryphon, braved the cold wind, stepped on the gravel, and quickly came to Abt.

"This guy is not dead..." Kaka said in surprise.

At this time, Roy didn't care how injured he was. He directly tied up the bloody Abt with the prepared rope. He also took the opportunity to untie the two magic belt bags on his body and quickly tied them to himself. waist.

Roy found the magic rune board next to Benjamin's body. He threw the rune board to Kaka and reminded him:

"Every time this thing is turned on, it will continue to consume magic crystals. In fact, if you have firewood, it is more convenient to light a bonfire..."

Kaka took the rune board and couldn't take his eyes away from the rune board.

At this time, little Eugene's griffon also landed on the stone cliff.

Kaka and Roy carried Abt, who was covered in blood, onto the back of little Eugene's griffon.

Roy went to check Benjamin's body again. He should have been stabbed to death with a dagger in the heart. At this time, his body was already frozen hard...

"let's go!"

Kaka and Roy rode a griffon together and flew to the top again.

Kaka and little Eugene didn't need to deliberately avoid those griffins, because the griffins hovering on the clifftop's nest didn't pay attention to Kaka and little Eugene at all.

After spending most of the day, the griffin finally flew to a pass on the top of the mountain. After taking a short rest, Kaka fed the griffin a bag of dried meat, and then the griffin carried the two of them to continue flying to the bottom of the cliff on the north side. go.

"We rarely fly here because we are worried about being discovered by the elves here. Roy, after you return to the barrier village, you must keep it secret from us!"

When the griffon was flying, Kaka warned Roy very seriously.

"I know, Kaka, can we meet again?" Roy asked Kaka.

"Of course, I also promised you that I would take you to see the fishmen on Sun Island." Kaka said cheerfully.

"Then how can I find you?" Roy asked loudly.

"You go to the pass where we first met, and leave me a letter at the place where we met. I will come to you when I see the letter. Little Eugene and I will patrol Pass No. 3 every half month. Mainly responsible for cleaning up those black spiders." Kaka said to Roy.

It happened to be night when the griffin flew Roy from the Barrier Mountains to the foot of the North Mountain.

At night, it is easy to identify the valley where the Rampart Village is located, because only there is light.

Because it was at night, Kaka rode a griffon to send Roy to the temporary camp of the negotiating team, and then threw Abt, who was tied into a rice dumpling, to Roy. The two of them did not take a break, and rode a griffon to take advantage of Leave at night.

Roy waited for Kaka and little Eugene to fly away, then blessed himself with the 'Blessing of Strength', and then dragged Abt and strode towards the temporary camp of the negotiation team.

In fact, Abt was already awake, but with a rope tied around his mouth and unable to move his hands and feet, he could only let Roy drag him along.

Roy also took off his shoes, and as he dragged them along, his feet rubbed a trail of blood on the ground.

By the time they arrived at the temporary camp of the negotiating team, Abt's feet were bruised to pieces.

Roy was discovered by the Silver Pegasus warriors patrolling near the temporary camp of the negotiating team, and was then escorted to the negotiating team's camp by two Silver Pegasus warriors.

It was already midnight, and all the elves in the camp had gone to bed.

Roy returned to the temporary tent of the Elf Academy Adventure Group. Several instructors had already received the news.

As soon as everyone got out of the tent, they saw Roy, who had lost a lot of weight, standing in front of the campfire in a miserable state...
