Path of light

Chapter 648 649. Cooperation

In the Knights Templar camp, Magister Elaud walked through a shabby tent and walked towards the larger tent inside.

This time, Captain Jeroin personally welcomed them out and was waiting outside the tent.

After the two met, they even hugged each other politely. Before entering the tent, Magister Elaud directly explained the purpose of his visit:

"I'm here to visit you this time just to ask for your help."

After speaking, Magister Elaud paused for a moment. Seeing Captain Jeroin looking at him, he continued:

"We are about to enter the depths of Haiti to hunt those lichs, but this time we don't have enough manpower, so I want to ask you if you can follow us into the depths of Haiti. Your main task is to catch us. When the Lich is transported out of Haiti, it will not participate in the main hunting operations. During the transportation, our people will follow it to ensure that the sealing circle is in normal operation at all times. "

"Okay, we, the Knights Templar, have no problem at all."

After saying this, Captain Jeroin realized that the Magister Elaud in front of him was not talking about hunting lichs. They wanted to capture lichs and then invite their own group of priests to hunt them down. Lich shipped out of Haiti.

Seeing the serious look on Magister Ellaud's face, Jeroin felt that this was really a rare opportunity.

He actually wanted to go into the depths of Haiti to explore, but the sixth-level dark monsters there frequently appeared, which was too dangerous for their group of priests, so they never dared to go deep into Haiti.

This time, Magister Elaud actually took the initiative to invite them to enter Haiti, which happened to suit Captain Jeroin's heart.

So he continued: "I can directly recall the knight team that is hunting in the nearby area. If you can wait a few days, I can also recall three other knight teams, and the team's strength can be greatly improved."

Magister Ellaud took the opportunity to ask: "Approximately how many knights can be summoned now? What is their strength level?"

Captain Jeroin thought for a moment, and then said: "At present, we can gather almost 700 knights, including 57 second-level powerhouses, including battle priests and temple priests."

"……so much!"

Magister Elaud was shocked. He didn't expect that the ordinary-looking dilapidated camp actually had so many priests.

There are fifty-seven Rank 2 experts alone. Such a powerful demon hunting group is actually hiding on the edge of Haiti...

"you……"

Magister Elaud just wanted to ask, ‘How could such a strong team like you live in seclusion in Haiti’…

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Captain Jeroin and listened to what he said:

"These are only the number of priests in our Camp Two. Our Knights Templar have a total of 2,751 members, including nearly seventy-six temple priests and one hundred and fifty-two combat priests. Camp One Camp No. 3 is actually not very far from us. If necessary, I can also apply for support from them. "

"You are so powerful, why do you live in seclusion here?"

Magister Elaud still asked. Nearly three thousand human priests were hiding on the edge of Haiti. Apparently there was some story.

"This is a dark place. Without the power of the Holy Light, our strength will be greatly weakened. Although we have so many second-level warriors, we can only use the strength of a first-level peak knight in battle! As for living in seclusion here, , in fact, it is not our original intention, it is purely a helpless move.”

Captain Jeroin smiled helplessly and explained in a low voice.

Then he said:

"Actually, we have always wanted to explore this area, but the dark monsters in this area are very dense. If we go deeper into the sea, we will encounter a large number of sixth-level dark monsters. It will be very difficult for us to deal with them. It’s strenuous and can easily cause casualties.”

"If I can follow you into the depths of Haiti this time, it will be a big favor for us."

Magister Elaud had seen these priests of the Knights Templar, and naturally knew that their power was suppressed by the dark energy, but he did not expect that it would be so severely suppressed.

He was always in contact with Roy, and he thought every priest should be like Roy, but he didn't know that Roy was the most different among the priests.

In fact, Magician Elaud didn't expect Captain Jeroin to agree so readily. He even seemed to have the joy on his face that something he had been looking forward to for a long time had suddenly come true. Now that he heard Captain Jeroin's explanation, he realized My invitation just helped them...

Not to mention 700 priests joining, even if it is only one-fifth of this number, Magister Elaud feels that the manpower is enough.

Captain Jeroin did not even mention how to pay the reward. Magister Elaud held the staff with both hands and said to Captain Jeroin:

"Then this matter is settled. You will send 700 priests to follow us into the depths of the sea. We will set off tomorrow morning and gather together with our magic wooden house first."

"As for the reward..."

When he said this, Magister Ellaud looked at Roy, and then said:

"What do you want us to use to pay for it? We will try our best to get it. All kinds of materials, magic crystals, soul crystals... can be used."

Hearing what Magister Ellaud said, Captain Jeroin smiled even more happily.

The Knights of the Holy Order are short of almost everything. It would be best if the Elf Magister could support them with some living supplies.

However, Captain Jeroin didn't understand why Magister Elaud's eyes fell on the human boy inadvertently when he said those last words...

Captain Jeroin's eyes also inadvertently fell on Roy's face.

Magister Ellaud remembered that he had not introduced Roy to Captain Jeroin, so he took the opportunity to say:

"This is Captain Roy, an outstanding half-elf. Roy is also a priest. Maybe you will have something in common."

"..."

Roy wanted to hide behind Magister Elaud and be an invisible man.

Seeing Magister Elaud mention his name, Roy could only take a step forward and salute Captain Jeroin with the etiquette of a priest.

"Hello, Captain Jeroin, I am Roy. I am now following Magister Elaud to search for lichs in the Four Darkness."

"Are you a half-elf?" Captain Jeroin asked curiously.

Here it is again, it seems that every human being is curious about this matter.

Roy could only give Captain Jairoy a stiff smile...

…

The two parties agreed to meet under the sand dunes twenty kilometers west of the Knights Templar at noon tomorrow, and Captain Jeroin immediately began to summon the priests near the camp.

After discussing the matter, Magister Ellaud took Roy back to the magic wooden house.

The Knights Templar actually sent 700 knights to follow the magisters into the depths of Haiti, and this time Captain Jeroin was in charge of leading the team. These magisters Ellaud did not expect it at all.

With seven hundred priests joining in, Magister Ellaud made a joke to Roy:

"We can definitely fight all the way to Haiti this time..."

"I feel like Captain Jeroin is more eager to enter Haiti than we are."

Roy followed Magister Elaud and responded casually.

"Maybe!"

Magister Ellaud turned his head and glanced at the Templar Knights' camp, and then said to Roy with a strange expression:

"Roy, I heard they said you can bring any supplies you want from the Elf Continent. If Captain Jeroin comes up with something we don't have, I hope you can help me get it..."

"Uh...ok! Lord Magister Elaud."

Roy didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly, even Magister Elaud heard about the fact that he carried smuggled goods from the Elf Continent to the Dark Land. It seems that this matter may not be a secret for a long time. So if this is the case, all I can say is The commander of the Gabriel Regiment also turned a blind eye to this matter and took care of himself.

"Um, do you know all this?" Roy asked a little embarrassed.

Magister Ellaud smiled slightly and did not explain much. He just said:

"Of course I know."

…

The magic wooden house was dragged by the steel Golem and moved forward slowly in the black desert. At noon the next day, it appeared on time at the location agreed with the Holy Knights.

There is a very gentle sand dune here. The reason why the black sand dune exists is because there is a boulder here. The gravel is blocked behind by the boulder, so it does not converge towards the central area of ​​Haiti.

Seven hundred priests were waiting beside the sand dune with their luggage on their backs.

When they saw a magical movable wooden house appearing in the desert, everyone's eyes were focused on this wooden house.

Many priests were amazed by this.

The moment they saw the magic wooden house, they all stood up...

…

Roy stood on the observation deck of the magic wooden house. Under the black sand dunes in front of him, a group of ragged priests gathered together. Almost all of them wore leather armor and robes, and carried weapons such as shields and hammers on their backs.

The magic wooden house slowly stopped in front of them, and all six magisters actually walked out of the magic wooden house.

Grand Magister Cedric personally met with Captain Jeroin and thanked the Templars for their assistance...

Next, this group of priests, led by Captain Jeroin, followed the magic wooden house on foot. They obviously had no complaints.

This is the first time that Roy has seen so many human priests. Their faces are almost the same as Roy's. They don't have the pointed ears of the elves, nor the handsome appearance of the elves, nor the detailed figures of the elves. Moreover, the priests look They all have gray temples, but their faces don't look that old. They all look like they are in their forties or fifties.

They lined up in two teams. Even if they were walking on the soft sand, the team walked very neatly, and everyone walked at almost the same pace.

The magisters are also very generous to these temporary allies...

For magicians, you should never guess how many magic pockets they have, because they will come up with various supplies in an endless stream.

The main food of the elf magicians is some fruits that contain magical flavor. Roy saw Magister Ellaud eating a taro fruit for dinner more than once, but they can also bring out some other fruits.

Even in Haiti, where resources were scarce, Grand Magister Cedric took out a hundred boxes of oranges and ten boxes of elf cookies and gave them to the priests of the Knights Templar.

Let them not have to worry about not having enough food during this trip to hunt lichs...

Roy also asked these priests privately: 'What should I do if I don't bring enough food when I go hunting? ’

Their answer was also very simple and clear: ‘As long as there is water, it will be fine. As for food, choose to hunt some edible monsters, and everything will be solved...’

There is no such thing as a scarcity of monster resources in Haiti...

A large part of this group of priests cannot speak Elvish.

The remaining priests who can speak Elvish became the target that Roy had to disturb every day. He would hold a blank parchment book and find these priests to practice speaking the Imperial language. At first, it was a simple greeting, and then some phrases for daily communication.

Roy has a strong learning ability, and his Green Imperial language level will improve significantly every day.

These priests are also the best teachers. When chatting with Roy, they will say some sentences that are usually used, and sometimes they will jump back and forth between Elvish and Imperial language.

Roy will also learn some words in the Imperial language.

In fact, this is his main purpose, because he is translating the half-finished letter left by Bishop Ocasi.

After this period of hard work, Roy has successfully translated three sentences. At least Roy thinks that this is the only way to explain it.

The first sentence of the letter was:

"I have been reflecting seriously during the days and nights of entering the dark land."

"After a long period of thinking, I discovered one thing during the journey."

"The only one who can imprison her is herself."

Although these three sentences are a little incoherent and Roy is a little confused, at least Roy understands the literal meaning.

Next, Roy will continue to translate.

He communicates with the priests in the Imperial language every day. Although he speaks the Imperial language poorly, he still communicates continuously.

For this reason, he also prepared some small gifts for these priests. After each communication, he would give something to everyone...

Through the communication, he finally knew one thing:

'This group of priests cannot leave the dark land because their bishop is missing, so they will be exiled to this dark land by the Statue of Liberty. '

In addition, this group of priests came from the Roland Continent. They have lived here in the dark land for a long time, so long that everyone can't remember their age.

One thing that Roy found amazing was that although the environment in the Dark Land was very harsh, people here aged very slowly. If these human priests were on Roland Road, they would probably be old antiques lying in coffins by now.

But they stayed in the Dark Land and looked only in their forties...
