Chapter 655 656. News from Priest Reed
"Grimes, do you want me to keep searching?"
"No, no, no, Roy... I want to tell you, if you can't find High Priest Reed by asking around like this, then try a new method, don't always hang on a tree."
"..."
The Brignya Expeditionary Force camp was built on a sand dune. The camp was so large that it looked like a ruin from a distance.
This is the third expeditionary camp built by the Temple Expeditionary Force.
If you trek on foot, it's almost fifty days' journey from the Dark Portal...
At least thousands of priests still live here.
When Roy was looking for High Priest Reed, he also asked these priests if they wanted to return to the Elf Continent.
Roy was a little surprised by the answers from the priests. Almost all the priests had never thought of returning to the Elven Continent. Some priests were planning to continue on the expedition, following the footsteps of the temple expeditionary force and continuing to go deeper into the dark land. .
There were also some injured priests who could not continue the expedition with the temple expeditionary force, so they chose to live in the Briniya expeditionary army camp. Some of them became hunters, and some of them set up camp in the expeditionary army camp. He opened a small stall and became a street vendor.
They begin to try a new life in the Dark Land.
Although resources are scarce here, they are not nothing.
As long as you have strong enough abilities, it is not difficult to fill your stomach in the dark land.
Roy was wandering around the Brignya Expeditionary Force camp, and the Archmage Grimes followed Roy...
When the two met the priests in the camp, they would take the initiative to approach them. Roy asked them about the news about the High Priest Reed, while the Great Magician Grimes asked them about the Lich.
But the priests in the camp didn't know much about lichs. Archmage Grimes asked many elves but couldn't get any information.
The two of them walked around the camp without finding anything.
The great magician Grimes stopped in frustration, frowned, put his staff in his belt, and said to Roy: "I knew...how could they know about the lich!"
"Maybe someone will know..." Roy muttered softly.
At the edge of the Brigniya camp, Roy suddenly stopped.
He saw some clotheslines hanging on a tent not far away, and the bandages hanging on the ropes looked stained with blood.
Roy couldn't tell what he was asking, so he walked towards the tent. I saw a row of injured demon hunters lying on the open space in front of the tent. Two priests were treating their wounds with old second-hand bandages.
Roy stood behind the two priests and carefully observed their bandaging methods.
When they were tying the bandages, there were actually some shadows of High Priest Reed...
Roy squatted next to a priest and asked him, "Do you know a great priest named Reed?"
The priest slowly turned his head when he heard Roy's voice. He looked very young and could not feel a trace of the power of the holy light in his body. He smiled politely at Roy, and then said: "I do know someone The great priest named 'Reed', I just don't know if he is the one you are looking for!"
Roy felt a little excited and quickly said to the priest: "The High Priest Reed I am looking for comes from Castletown City in the Elf Continent."
The priest breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's right. Our High Priest Reed is also from Castletown. Hello, my name is Grant. I used to be the assistant of High Priest Reed. May I ask? yes……?"
Roy said: "My name is Roy, and High Priest Reed is my teacher. I am here just to see how he is doing."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around. The aid station looked very dilapidated and the tent was so small that these injured priests couldn't even lie down in the tent.
Roy hoped that High Priest Reed would come out of the tent in the next second, his eyes full of expectation...
Unfortunately, that familiar figure did not emerge from the tent.
Priest Grant took the opportunity to say to Roy:
"That's not a coincidence for you. The teacher left Camp Brynya some time ago and entered a camp deeper in the Dark Land. He said he was going to help some elves who need his help more."
"Do you know which way he went?" Roy asked.
"He said he was going to go inside along the expedition route to save some injured priests along the way..." After speaking, Priest Grant pointed to the distance.
Roy inquired about the news about High Priest Reed, smiled happily, and simply sat next to Priest Grant.
Priest Grant was bandaging a wound and looked at Roy curiously. He put his right hand on his clothes and wiped it, then stretched out to Roy:
"Maybe we should get acquainted again, Grant... Assistant to High Priest Reed, hello, Roy."
Grant said with a smile.
Roy also quickly reached out his hand and shook hands with Grant...
"High Priest Reed continues to move forward along the dark road, why didn't you follow him?" Roy asked Grant.
Priest Grant showed a bitter smile. He lifted up the hem of his shabby robe, revealing a prosthetic leg.
"Actually, I also wanted to follow Mr. Reed and go inside, but I was worried that entering the depths of the dark land would be a burden to them, so I chose to stay in Briniya."
"How long has he been gone?"
"It's been almost half a month." Priest Gulen said after counting the days.
Roy didn't expect to find out about the High Priest Reed here. He and the High Magician Grimes looked at each other and suddenly felt that all his hard work for so long was not in vain.
Roy talked about High Priest Reed's life here again.
In Priest Grant's memory, Priest Reed would always hold the Holy Grail of Wisdom in his hand. No matter where he went, he would carry this Holy Grail with him...
He likes to treat illnesses and save people. No matter who is injured, he always wants to go over and help.
He personally founded a rescue station in Brinia, but he himself took several priests along the expedition road and walked deep into the dark land.
"If you can see High Priest Reed, please convey my regards..." Priest Grant said to Roy sincerely.
"good."
Roy agreed readily.
Roy and Priest Grant had a brief chat before leaving the aid station...
The Magic Wooden House stayed in Brinya for one night, and continued to move deeper into the Dark Land the next morning. Roy seemed much more positive this time, and there was more expectation in his eyes.
However, the news about the lich was never heard, so the six magisters decided to go to the nearby demon hunting camp to inquire.
