Path of light

Chapter 654 655. Letter from Bishop O’Casey

In a tent in a corner of the Dark Portal Expeditionary Camp, Alice squatted behind the curtain with her hands on her knees, carefully staring at the figure coming out of the Dark Portal. There was a complex emotion in her eyes. , it was hatred, fear, desire, or other complex emotions intertwined in it, so much so that she didn't feel anything when her nails pierced the skin of her thighs.

She pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and placed a white hand on her slightly swollen chest.

That delicate and well-behaved face showed a look of struggle...

By chance, Leah came back from outside and saw Alice's forehead covered in sweat. She immediately came over with concern, reached out and touched her forehead, and said with concern:

"Alice, what's wrong with you? I'm going to call Roy over."

Seeing Leah turning around and about to walk out, Alice quickly reached out and grabbed Leah's arm, shouting urgently: "No! Leah, I'm just a little uncomfortable. It has nothing to do with the power of the Holy Light. Let me stay here." "Lie quietly for a while and you'll recover soon."

After saying that, she leaned her body against the fur mattress inside the tent, closed her eyes, and slowed down her breathing...

Even if Alice didn't say anything, Leah could feel that she was holding back some kind of pain at the moment, but she refused to let herself ask Roy for help. Leah took off a kettle from her waist and fed Alice A little water.

Leah squatted next to Alice and saw her sweat-wet hair lying softly on her forehead. She stretched out her hand to push her messy hair away and said softly to her:

"Alice, I feel like there's something wrong with you recently,"

Alice reached out and held Leah's arm, patted the back of her hand with her other hand, and said breathlessly:

"Maybe it's because my body suddenly got better. When I went out for a walk, I was a little overworked. I might get better after taking a rest."

Although Alice said this, Leah was still a little worried. She put her head on Alice's chest, listening to the strong beating of her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Then you should have a good rest. I found that the clear water in the pool in the center of the camp is very special. The guard soldiers here said that drinking more water from the pool will be of great benefit to your body. I will get it back later. Some."

After Lia finished speaking, she took out another water bottle from the tent.

Seeing Roy walking to the pool and stopping to chat with the guarding soldiers, Leah walked up to him with cheerful steps.

As Alice was lying in the tent, a voice kept appearing in her mind, repeating to her:

‘Alice, let me dominate your body. As long as you pass through the door in your heart, I will soon make you extremely powerful. ’

‘Alice, what are you still hesitating about? Don’t you want to try another, more comfortable life with Leah? ’

'The garden is full of flowers and fruit trees. You sit on the swing under the apple tree and read a book, while the sounds of birds and piano echo in your ears...'

‘Alice, open the door in your heart and let me in only, and you will have this life in no time. ’

‘But you haven’t told me yet what I will lose! ’

'You will become one with me, I am you and you are me...'

‘Let me think about it again! ’

Alice closed her eyes, and there were two voices echoing in her heart.

When she opened it again, the vision in her eyes had returned to clarity, but her face was covered with sweat, and her face was as pale as paper...

…

Roy's short vacation at the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp ended quickly.

Only in the expeditionary camp he was the leader of the guard regiment. Once he entered the magic wooden house, he became a priest accompanying the regiment again.

Back in the magic wooden house, Roy continued to learn Grimm. Although there were still big problems in communication, Roy learned the words of Grimm in a targeted manner every time, so he passed more than three months. time, he completely translated the letter written by Bishop O’Casey:

‘Days and nights as I walked into the Dark Land, I have been seriously reflecting on whether the Statue of Liberty has imprisoned other gods, and whether there is any point in our expedition to the Dark Land. ’

'After a long period of exploration in the dark land, I discovered one thing. The only person who can imprison her is herself. ’

'She appeared in Roland Continent and was even able to shine the Holy Glory across the Endless Sea on the land of the Elf Continent. We pursued her belief, and she brought the Holy Glory to us, but she never taught us How to independently access divine power. ’

‘Until I discovered that she also had great influence in the Dark Land. ’

‘She is the Lady of Liberty, but she is also the Lady of the Night! ’

‘She was originally the collection of all things, good and evil, light and darkness. ’

‘She created the Temple of Liberty in the Roland Continent, and hundreds of millions of believers are following her footsteps, walking on the road built by light. ’

'At the same time, she also established four dark armies in the deepest abyss of the Dark Land, the Nakma Army, the Nibru Army, the Faceless Ones Army, and the Evil Ghost Army. I know they are trying to find the plane. Some space rifts enter various planes from the abyss, and then try to enter our main plane. ’

'The Temple Legion that believes in light is destined to have a war with the Dark Legion, maybe in the Land of Darkness, or the Roland Continent and the Elf Continent. No matter where, the battlefield will be devastated and all things will be extinct...'

Although Roy knew the meaning of each word in the following paragraph, when they were put together, many sentences immediately became very incoherent.

Roy deleted many words before he pieced together a paragraph

‘I know that when the goddess of liberty falls asleep, the goddess of night will wake up from the abyss, and the darkest hour is coming. ’

‘I found that the goddess of liberty is no longer there, her flesh and blood are..., and her bones are scattered all over the dark land. ’

‘Before she died, she imprisoned the goddess of night in a well in the abyss of the dark land. ’

‘I found a goddess finger bone from the Nakma Demon Lord in the Dark Mountains. I know that there is a trace of the goddess's divine thoughts hidden in the divine bones. I am willing to offer my body to revive the goddess's divine thoughts, but my body has been torn into pieces during the battle with the Nakma Demon Lord. I cannot carry the goddess's divine thoughts. I need a more powerful body to carry this divine thought...’

The text on the parchment stopped here.

Roy thought of the first time he touched the pillow-sized jade, there happened to be a very weak divine thought that wanted to occupy his body. It turned into an angel, but was ruthlessly rejected by him.

Then the divine thought was expelled from Roy's body.

Now Roy saw the contents on the parchment and realized that he seemed to have rejected the divine thought of the Statue of Liberty...

He immediately became a little nervous and hurriedly checked his whole body. He didn't find the divine thought of the goddess, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a knock on the door of the staircase grocery room. Roy opened his eyes, rubbed his stiff face with both hands, opened the wooden door of the grocery room, and saw Leah holding a cup of warm lemon tea with two biscuits on the tea tray.

"You haven't eaten yet, I brought breakfast down for you, eat quickly."

Leah handed the plate to Roy, then squatted at the door of the grocery room, holding her delicate little face with both hands, and looked at Roy with a smile.

Roy took the plate and thanked Leah:

"Thanks, Leah."

Then he silently picked up the teacup and took a big sip, then said:

"How is Alice? If it's convenient, I want to treat Alice again this afternoon."

Roy knew what Leah needed.

Leah had never concealed it from Roy. She was even very straightforward. She approached Roy and flattered Roy just to make Alice get better quickly...

If Roy said this normally, Leah would definitely give Roy a sweet smile.

But this time, Leah smiled and shook her head, saying to Roy: "Alice said she could wait for two more days before treatment. She is in good condition and wants to try to absorb the power of holy light herself."

Roy had long discovered that Alice was secretly learning divine arts, and she was making rapid progress.

Once, Roy saw with his own eyes that Alice gathered a ball of holy light on her chest with both hands, and when she raised it gently, a column of holy light fell down.

Roy didn't even hear her chanting the prayer, but the holy light full of healing power was real...

Alice's speed of learning divine arts was even faster than Leah's learning dark magic.

Because of the example of Leah, everyone didn't pay much attention to Alice's ability to learn divine arts.

They just felt that Leah and Alice were born to learn dark magic and divine arts...

Roy would transfer the power of holy light to Alice every two days, and then he would go out with the great magician Grams to hunt dark monsters, so that the power of holy light in his body could be restored as soon as possible.

Roy found that although Alice's personality was introverted and gentle, she would occasionally make some unexpected moves.

Sometimes she would lean against the windowsill and stare at him non-stop, with complex emotions in her eyes. Roy even felt that Alice hated him a little...

Most of the time, Alice would be a stay-at-home girl, hiding in her room all day long, and rarely showing up.

Roy found that the number of times he infused Alice with the power of holy light was gradually decreasing.

…

The magic wooden house left the Dark Gate Expeditionary Camp and first arrived at Isnes. After a day of rest at Isnes Expeditionary Camp, they went to the third Expeditionary Camp - Brinniya.

The magicians were asking for news about the lich along the way, but unfortunately they didn't get any along the way.

Fortunately, the magic wooden house took the expedition road, so the whole journey was safe and sound. It was difficult to encounter a dark monster along the way.

It can be seen that the Temple Expeditionary Force has completely wiped out the dark monsters along this expedition road...

And this expedition road is real, straight and hard on the black sand sea.

Iron Gollum pulled the magic wooden house along this road, and his legs did not sink into the black fine sand, but only left a row of clear large footprints on the expedition road.

After more than half a month of day and night travel, the magicians finally arrived at the Brinniya Expeditionary Camp.

This expeditionary camp was built on a sand dune. The area around the camp was desolate. However, in this desolate sand, Roy found that he could see some dark creature bone fragments every few meters. The surrounding black sand sea was also full of them.

Grams the Great Magician and Roy sat side by side on the observation deck, watching everything in front of them.

"I bet there must have been a big battlefield here before, otherwise there wouldn't be so many corpses of dark beasts here!" said the great magician Grams confidently.

Roy pointed to the sand pile in front and said, "The front is the Briniya Expeditionary Force camp."

"Let's go check the situation in the camp first."

After saying that, the great magician Grams slid down from the observation deck and went directly back to the rest area on the second floor. Roy also slid down behind the great magician Grams...

The two put on magic cloaks, walked out of the magic wooden house directly, and walked towards the Briniya Expeditionary Force camp.

Before entering the expeditionary camp, Roy found that this camp was much larger than the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp, and there were also many priests living here. Most of the tents in the camp had traces of living.

After entering the camp, many priests were watching them along the way.

On both sides of the main road in the camp were stalls set up by some vendors, and more than half of the stall owners were priests.

Roy stopped in front of a stall, pointing at the dark magic beast materials and asking:

"How much do these things cost?"

The stall owner looked up at Roy and said in a muffled voice:

"Trade with soul crystals, point to whichever you want to buy, and I'll tell you the price!"

Roy squatted in front of the stall and picked and chose, asking the price of almost every dark magic beast material, but he didn't pay for it...

Under the angry eyes of the stall owner, Roy clapped his hands and stood up, then left the stall with the great magician Grams.

Roy found that although the priests of the Statue of Liberty here did not have much holy light power, their mental state was very good, and some priests were even actively organizing small teams. They were all spontaneously heading deep into the dark land, and some priests had already prepared their luggage for the long journey.

The scene of these priests seeing off was also very lively...

Roy mixed in the crowd for a long time, and he even whispered to a priest next to him.

"Ahem, do you know a high priest named Reed?" Roy asked the priest next to him.

The priest shook his head and stared at Roy with a look of scrutiny.

Roy waved his hand quickly to show that he knew, and then ran to another priest and asked, "Do you know a high priest named Reed?"

He asked more than a dozen priests in a row, and the answers he got were almost exactly the same. They didn't know the high priest Reed.

Roy was a little discouraged, but the great magician Grams who followed him encouraged him:

"Roy, when we usually do magic experiments, we do the same magic experiment for several months in a row, and we fail dozens of times every day. We fail for several months in a row, but we will continue to make some new attempts."
