Path of light

Chapter 611 612. Old Pike's conjecture

Roy also hunted countless high-level dark creatures in the dark land, and he knew very well how terrible the dark beasts were.

Especially in the depths of the dark land, there are always some very special dark beasts. They can stand out from the high-level dark creatures and grow up after going through hardships, which is enough to show that they have strong strength.

These dark beasts can grow up and may reach the strength of a corner overlord.

Old Pike was bending over, cleaning the wounds of the clinically injured with extreme concentration, and the skinning knife in his hand cut a lot of fat meat stained with black air...

Roy looked at Evely and smiled at her:

"You are lucky this time. I just went out for a long trip and just came back from outside."

"Fortunately, this trip went smoothly and came back early. Otherwise, if you delay for a few more days, you might have to suffer a little."

Roy checked Evely's injuries on other parts of her body. Evely lay obediently on the bed and let him do whatever he wanted.

The holy light ball between his hands instantly turned into a beam of light, which fell directly on Eveleigh.

The pure holy power in the beam of light turned into pieces of golden leaves, which continued to fall on Eveleigh's body...

As the holy light spell fell, the dark aura on Eveleigh's face immediately dissipated a lot.

The powerful holy power made Old Pike, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but look back at Roy. This time, Roy gave him an indescribable feeling of being special. Not only was the holy light power in his body more pure, but he also became more confident when casting divine spells.

Roy took out a silver kettle from his waist bag, poured out a cup of diluted life tree juice from it, handed it to Eveleigh's mouth, and drank it directly.

Eveleigh immediately closed her eyes, and took the opportunity of this rich breath of life rushing into her body, constantly guiding the breath of life to circulate rapidly in her body...

When Eveleigh opened her eyes again, she was much more energetic, and the spirit in her eyes continued to overflow.

Roy did not untie the bandage on Evely's abdomen, but looked at Old Pike with a questioning look.

Old Pike knew what Roy wanted to ask, so he began to introduce Evely's current condition:

"The rotten flesh contaminated with the dark energy has been removed. This time I can't remove the dark energy that has eroded into her organs, so I can only do a simple bandage for her. But since you are here, let's take it apart and have a look. The dark energy in her abdomen may spread to the wound again. I was going to do a second debridement at night, but now it may not be so troublesome. Purify the dark energy in her body, and her life will be saved."

"Old Pike, how do you usually deal with this situation?"

Roy asked.

He was very curious about how Old Pike cured these demon hunters without the power of holy light.

Old Pike said in an extremely calm tone: "Either wait to die, or take a gamble. Take a gamble. After I cut off all the places on his body that were corroded by the dark energy, he can still live."

"..."

That is to say, demon hunters with a strong desire to survive and good physical fitness have a greater chance of survival.

Seeing Roy was a little stunned, Old Pike rubbed his nose, smiled, and whispered:

"In fact, there are some small tricks, at least to save some important parts, I am more experienced in this regard!"

Roy agreed with this very much.

Old Pike's medical skills are very good. After he lost the power of holy light, he relied on the experience accumulated from assisting the priests for many years to treat diseases and save people with methods other than divine arts...

Roy untied the bandage wrapped around Evely's abdomen. The two wounds across her lower abdomen were indeed corroded by the dark energy again. When the bandage was untied, the wounds immediately showed signs of bursting because they were not sutured.

The bright red blood oozed from the scab of the wound...

Because Roy had just cast the Holy Light spell, the dark air had become very thin.

The skin on Eve's lower abdomen was very white. Although it was stained with a trace of blood, the outline of her abdominal muscles was very clear. She lifted her clothes a little higher, revealing half of her white buns and upright breasts.

The soft holy light purified the last trace of darkness on Eve's body.

Roy took out a few bottles of high-quality healing potions from his magic waist bag, pulled out the corks, and poured the light red healing potion into Eve's mouth like a free drink.

Eve lay motionless on the bed, only blinking occasionally.

Perhaps it was the effect of the sap of the tree of life that made Evelyn's mental state significantly better. She was lying on the hospital bed, telling Roy about the whole story of the injury...

"I was chasing an evil spirit at the time.

I ran a long way in one breath, and finally chased into a strange stone forest. In order to hunt this evil spirit, we invested a lot of resources in advance, so we didn't want to give up even though we saw it escape. Unexpectedly, I was injured by the evil spirit's counterattack before dying in the stone forest. Its claws cut open the scales on my abdomen. At that time, I thought it was over and I might die here.

I didn't expect them to take turns carrying me back..."

Roy smiled as he listened to Evelyn's story about her embarrassing moment. It was obvious that Evelyn's companions were still very reliable.

The dark energy in Evelyn's body was completely cleared...

Roy took out a sewing kit from his magic waist bag. He carefully sewed Eveleigh's wound, then re-bandaged the sutured wound. Then he washed his hands again and said to Eveleigh:

"This time I choose to sew your wound so that it can heal faster. The only drawback is that the scar on your abdomen in the future may look like a millipede..."

Old Pike was still removing the bad meat stained by the dark energy from the injured person. However, the injured person lying on the hospital bed watched helplessly as all the rotten meat stained by the dark energy was removed from his body, his eyes filled with tears. Fear.

"Old Parker, why don't you let that kid help and treat me like you treated Evelei?" The injured person pointed at Roy aside and complained to Old Parker.

"Be quiet and stop being so verbose."

Old Pike yelled at the wounded man.

The injured man immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to question Old Pike again...

…

Evelei fell into a deep sleep on the hospital bed. The wound on the injured person beside her was also treated by Old Pike, and the tent suddenly became quiet.

Old Pike pointed outside the tent and walked out first.

Roy followed closely and walked out.

The two stood in front of the shelves filled with sundries and sat down to rest against the shelves.

Old Parker didn't ask Roy where he went, and Roy didn't tell him.

Roy put his arms on the shelves, stood there relaxed, and said to Old Parker:

"This time I met a strange elf girl in the camp outside. Her body was full of dark energy. I thought her physical condition would be very bad, but in fact her condition was not as bad as I imagined. , but lived like a normal child in the camp.”

"So I don't understand how she adapts to those dark energies."

Old Parker stood opposite Roy, silently listening to Roy's story, and after a while he said:

"In this case... I guess she was born in a dark place. Before she was born, she was infected with the dark energy in her mother's womb. Baby girls in this situation rarely survive, but once they survive, She is born with a body of darkness, her body is not corroded by the energy of darkness, and she can even learn some dark spells."

"When you meet such an elf, you must be careful, because you can't tell whether her heart is more inclined toward elves or toward dark creatures. Maybe she has already become completely dark during her growth. In that case, she will Constantly transforming into a powerful dark powerhouse."

Roy was also shocked when he heard what Old Parker said.

Thinking about the elf girl named Leah, Roy felt that she should have more elf-like characteristics!

But when Old Parker said this, Roy became even more curious about the girl named Leah.

Some time ago, Roy almost collected all the Dark World of Warcraft materials in the Rangers' camp. No decent Dark World of Warcraft materials could be found in the entire camp.

But in just one and a half months, the market in the homeless camp seemed to have become more lively than before.

There were even some new faces in the camp market, and the stall owners were generally demon hunters. Roy held a price list and purchased Dark Warcraft materials directly according to the price on the price list.

Roy walked around the market and bought a lot of things.

When he was about to leave the camp market, some demon hunters came forward one after another. They took out soul crystals with their money bags to buy food from Roy.

After returning from the Esnes Expeditionary Force camp, the armaments and supplies of the Mine Guard Corps have not been replenished. Roy has no elf biscuits in his hand. The current inventory only has some dried fish and dried fruits.

In fact, it is not accurate to call those fruits dried fruits.

These dried fruits are basically dried in the sun to remove some of the water and then marinated in maple syrup. They taste a bit like crispy preserved fruits. The dried fruits are eaten with slightly sour lemon tea.

These dried fish come from the Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane. Currently, that bay has become the only fishing port in the Partington plane.

The mixed-blood elves over there dried the fish they caught and made them into dried fish. Because the inventory was so overstocked, they were purchased in large quantities by the mine guard group...

"Only dried fish for now!"

Roy said to the demon hunters in front of him.

Although these demon hunters would prefer to buy elf biscuits, and dried fruits are fine without elf biscuits, but after hearing Roy say that there are only dried fish at the moment, he said without even thinking:

"Actually, you can also buy some dried fish..."

…

Dark Portal Expeditionary Force Camp.

Magister Elaud was waiting in Roy's tent. The smell of the fruit tea in front of him had become extremely weak, but he still couldn't see Roy.

A magister's time is very precious. If he were in front of the experimental table, Magister Elaud might have already completed a magic experiment.

But he had to condescend to wait here. Thinking of this, Magister Elaud couldn't help but feel a little dizzy...

The magisters are preparing to enter the dark land to find the lich.

Originally, I wanted to invite the priests of the Moon Temple to accompany me this time. When we first communicated about this matter, it went very smoothly. However, later on, the priests of the Moon Temple suddenly regretted it and simply rejected the invitation from the magisters.

These magisters have all prepared for a long journey in Golfito Canyon, but at this time, they still have to stay in Golfito collectively...

In order to prevent the body from being eroded by the dark energy, magicians need a priest to accompany them.

The priests of the Moon Temple would not provide any help, and then Roy walked into the sight of the magicians...

Roy hurried back to the tent and saw Magician Elaud sitting alone on a chair reading a magic book, and hurriedly explained why he could not arrive in time.

Magician Elaud did not beat around the bush and directly invited Roy.

"...So this time our adventure group composed of magicians currently needs a priest to accompany the group. I heard from Golfito that you just accompanied a makeshift mercenary group to the Isnes Expeditionary Force Camp, so I came to invite you!" said Magician Elaud.

"This matter requires the consent of Captain Gabreth." Roy reminded Magician Elaud in a low voice.

Mage Elaud said nonchalantly: "This matter is easy to handle. We will explain the situation to Commander Gabreth."

Roy hesitated and asked another question:

"But I don't know how long we will be in the Dark Land this time? After all, my garrison mission at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp has not yet ended."

The mage thought seriously for a moment before answering:

"Two or three months at the shortest, maybe half a year, or even longer."

"So long!" Roy said with a wry smile.

Mage Elaud nodded and admitted: "This mission is very important. It concerns the safety of the Dark Gate, so we may stay in the Dark Land for a long time."

Although Roy didn't want to go, he didn't refuse directly. He just said perfunctorily:

"Okay, I will seriously consider it, Master Mage Elaud."

...

Recently, Roy has come to the Wanderer Camp more frequently.

In addition to observing Evely's injuries, he mainly helps Old Pike and learns his medical skills.

Roy talked about his life in the Castletown Statue of Liberty, and about Jasper and Abbott. He and Abbott went from being good friends who could talk about anything to enemies who wanted to kill each other...

Old Pike also told the inside story of his leaving the expedition.

Old Pike washed his hands in the basin and said to Roy: "I don't believe that the Statue of Liberty was sealed in the dark land. Before being sealed, she should have been able to leave us some revelations."

"I told these conjectures, and the priests in the expedition thought I was a heretic scholar and wanted to burn heretics like me to death. Later, I escaped from the expedition."

"I also went to many wild camps, walked a lot, and suffered a lot. Finally, I chose the Wanderer Camp. Although this camp is small, it has its own advantages."

"In fact, there were two factions in the expedition. One faction believed that the Statue of Liberty had fallen, and she might have left a divine relic in the dark land."
