Path of light

Chapter 85 86. Ghost

High Priest Reed was sitting in the carriage, his face full of remorse, and he said to Priest Theodore:

"Half a month ago, the elf patrol of the guard team sent four bronze mirrors to the temple. I knew there would be trouble."

"Those bronze mirrors should be the belongings of a certain necromancer. They are mainly used to detain the souls of the dead. There is a door to the dimensional space on each mirror. Fortunately, the necromancer has placed seals on these mirrors. I checked After breaking these seals and making sure that the dead souls trapped in the mirrors could not escape, we decided to temporarily store these bronze mirrors in a warehouse."

"After all, this is an extraordinary period. Purifying these dead souls requires a lot of power of holy light. I want to delay it for a while."

"In order to suppress the dead souls in the mirror, I also lit a candle with the breath of holy light in the warehouse to weaken their power."

"I know that he goes to the warehouse occasionally, but I have never interfered with him. I think as long as I give him some time, he can come out of the blind corner of his mind. In fact, there has been no news from the high priest for such a long time, which is actually quite Let us wait silently."

"I didn't expect that Andyson would actually find those dead souls...otherwise, with his character, he would never have made such an impulsive move."

The stone road is actually not that flat, and the carriage is a little bumpy when driving on the cliff road.

Priest Theodore has gained weight recently. Sitting in the bumpy carriage, he felt that all the flesh in his body was shaking...

He only learned of the death of Priest Andyson last night. Maybe he didn't sleep well last night, so he seemed a little depressed now.

"Let me just say...why is Priest Andyson so impulsive this time? He is probably bewitched by the souls of the dead!"

Priest Theodore leaned on the sofa, slapped the armrest of the sofa hard, and then leaned forward and asked Priest Reed in a low voice:

"Has the death report of Father Anderson been handed in?"

High Priest Reed nodded and said, "I took the time to write it last night and sent it out this morning..."

Priest Theodore reached out and unbuttoned the collar of the shirt under the robe, moved the collar, licked his plump lips and continued to ask: "Will the superiors send an investigator here this time?"

"They will definitely come. This time they not only need to verify the cause of priest Andyson's death, but also bring back the four bronze mirrors in the warehouse for processing..."

High Priest Reed responded.

Priest Theodore's fat face trembled slightly. He quickly rubbed his numb face with his hands and looked out the window.

After a while, Priest Theodore said faintly: "Priest Reed, I was negligent in this matter. I wish I had known that there were still such things in this warehouse, and I would have purified them anyway."

Priest Theodore's face heated up when he saw Abbot and Jasper looking towards him.

Then he boldly said: "I heard that many priests in some southern areas of Silver Moon Kingdom are evacuating one after another. Now a large number of priests are gathered in Golfito. I guess we won't be here for long."

When High Priest Reed heard what Priest Theodore said, his expression remained calm, and it was obvious that he knew about it.

But for Roy, Jasper and Abbot in the carriage, they were not mentally prepared at all...

"High Priest Reed, do we also have to leave here?" Before Jasper could recover from his grief, he heard such bad news again and immediately asked High Priest Reed in a voiceless voice.

High Priest Reed patted his shoulder and said, "I have not received such a notification yet."

"Are the Temples of Liberty in other elven cities being dismantled?" Jasper followed up and asked.

High Priest Reed nodded slowly and said, "That's true."

Jasper said with some confusion:

"Gosh, I don't know where the rest of us can go if the Temple of Liberty in Castletown is demolished? Should we also go to Golfito?"

High Priest Reed quickly comforted Jasper:

"Until the notice from above is conveyed, we just need to live here with peace of mind."

Roy and Abt, who were sitting next to each other, looked at each other. In fact, the news had a great impact on them both.

Especially Roy.

He had just joined the temple, and at this time he heard that temples across the Silver Moon Kingdom were gradually being dismantled...

For a trainee priest like him who was studying at the Elf Academy and working part-time at the temple, there was really no need to leave his hometown and follow the priests to a strange place.

It is possible that after the Temple of Liberty in Castletown was dismantled, he would have to find a new part-time job.

When Roy looked at Abt, it was obvious that he was not so willing to leave Castletown.

It is estimated that Jasper is definitely not willing to go. He is currently dating the Naga Mermaid Miss Tiffany. How could he go to a place where there is no sea?

Jasper thought of Priest Anderson, and became very depressed again, and whispered:

"Teacher has always been worried about the loss of the Holy Grail. He feels that the decrease in gatherings in the temple is due to the loss of the Holy Grail of Wisdom."

High Priest Reed explained to the three trainee priests:

"If the Holy Glory can still shine here, the lost Holy Grail of Wisdom is actually not that great."

"Its only value is that it has witnessed the divine descending rituals of several high priests of the Temple of Liberty in Castletown. It is these divine descending rituals that allow a faint trace of incomplete divinity to remain in the Holy Grail. This is why it can make the holy pool The reason why holy water is condensed.”

"Almost every temple has an imitation of this Holy Grail of Wisdom."

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the temple, and High Priest Reed stepped out of the carriage tiredly.

Priest Theodore followed behind, constantly wiping the sweat from his face with the silk in his hand.

Roy, Jasper, and Abbott walked at the back, discussing in low voices the dismantling of the Temple of Liberty...

…

The death of Priest Andyson was a big blow to Priest Reed.

Although he still looks like the same old man, he will always patiently explain the basic magic to Roy and others...

But Roy found that he would occasionally stand by the well and stare at the wellhead in a daze, or sit alone by the pool and stare at the Statue of Liberty in a daze.

The four bronze mirrors are still locked in the warehouse, probably waiting for the investigators sent by the temple's senior officials to arrive before they can be opened...

Priest Theodore has become much more honest in recent days. He stays in the temple almost every day without going out. Unfortunately, this only lasted for three days. Priest Theodore returned to his original appearance again, frequently riding carriages to the temple. urban area.

Priest Theodore goes out almost at noon every day and comes back very late. Occasionally he even spends the night outside.

This temple is now more deserted than ever...

…

For Roy, these days are very busy.

Although he has gradually adapted to the learning rhythm of the Elf Academy, High Priest Reed is much stricter than before. He gives him a lot of divine symbols every day and has to keep them in mind. Roy can't wait to read the whole book in half a day.

High Priest Reed met with Roy to explain the drawing and pronunciation of these divine patterns. These divine patterns are the foundation of all divine arts.

Roy learns a lot of new knowledge every day, and the temple has almost become another place to absorb knowledge.

Roy, Jasper and Abt had a pocket of magic cores, and the polished magic crystals allowed the three of them to invest in the Black Pearl's transformation plan.

Of course, during this period, the three Roys have also been taking time to clean up the dead souls on the Black Pearl.

At present, only the ghosts in the torture chamber have not been dealt with, and the mud in the bottom of the Black Pearl has been completely cleaned, and even some rotten wooden walls have been replaced with new wooden boards.

The only thing that hasn't been repaired is the round hole in the bottom of the boat.

Because now everyone on board is accustomed to taking this route...

After all the dead souls in the oar rooms on the left and right sides were purified, the three of them were cleaning the cabin on the next floor.

However, this ship is too big. They are busy every day, but they have only packed up the six independent cabins behind the lower deck.

"Roy, the ghost in the execution chamber is the only one left on the ship. How about we find a way to purify it?" Jasper said, sitting on a chair in the cabin.

It's a bit hot here, and you'll be covered in sweat even if you move casually.

Roy put away the mop in his hand and looked at the paint-worn floor in the corridor. He was a little tired of the endless cleaning work and said:

"I just have time now, why not do it now!"

Abt, who was cleaning old seats in the oar room, also poked his head out and responded: "Okay!"

The three of them put down the cleaning tools in their hands and walked towards the torture chamber.

Roy took the opportunity to use the 'Low Light Illumination Technique', and then controlled the light group to float to the front, and the three of them arrived at the door of the execution chamber.

This ghost trapped in the torture chamber has become very irritable in recent days. As long as there is any movement at the entrance of the torture chamber, he will rush out regardless of it...

Roy had not yet learned the purification technique, so he stood at the front and let the sacred light float into the torture chamber.

The ghost wandering around in the torture chamber immediately appeared under the holy light. The breath of the holy light also had a burning sensation on the ghost...

This was a ghost with only the upper body. All the bones were hidden under a tattered black cloak. Almost as soon as he raised his bone claws, the sacred light that floated into the execution chamber exploded with a bang.

When the ghost rushed towards the door, his body quickly entered the invisible state...

However, Jasper, who was following Roy, was already prepared. When he saw the ghost, he was already reciting prayers. When the ghost was about to disappear, the divine pattern of the purification technique had been drawn, and the divine pattern dissipated. A beam of holy light instantly enveloped the ghost into the light pillar.

Roy rushed into the torture chamber with a wooden hammer filled with holy light, preparing to hit the ghost trapped in the beam with a few hammers on its head.

When he raised the hammer, Roy found that the ghost in the light pillar was actually lit up with a light blue mana vortex. The holy light beam that trapped its body was extinguished very quickly in the blue mana vortex...

There's something going on today. There may only be one chapter tonight, and it may be even later.
