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 speaking, 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, saying 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 what I have to lose! ’
'You will become one with me, I am you and you are me...'
‘Let me think about it again! ’
Alice closed her eyes, 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 when I walked into the dark place, I have been seriously reflecting on whether the Statue of Liberty has imprisoned other gods, and whether it is meaningful for us to launch an expedition to the dark place. ’
'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 chasing 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 everything will be extinct...'
In the following paragraph, although Roy knew the meaning of each word, when combined together, many sentences immediately became very unsound.
Roy deleted many words before putting together a paragraph
'I know that when the Lady Liberty falls into a deep sleep, the Lady of the Night will awaken from the abyss, and the darkest hour is coming. ’
'I discovered that the Statue of Liberty was no more, her flesh and blood was..., and her bones were scattered throughout 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 mountain. I know that there is a trace of the goddess's divine thought hidden in the sacred bone. I am willing to give my body to revive the goddess' divine thought, but my body is It became torn apart when I fought with Lord Nakma. I can't carry the goddess's spiritual thoughts. I need a more powerful body to carry this divine thoughts...'
The words on the parchment stopped here.
Roy thought about the first time he came into contact with the pillow-sized piece of jade, there happened to be an extremely weak spiritual thought that wanted to take over his body. It transformed into an angel, but he was ruthlessly rejected by him.
Then that ray of spiritual thought was expelled from Roy's body.
Now that Roy saw the content on the parchment, he realized that he seemed to have rejected a trace of the divine will split out by the Statue of Liberty...
He immediately became a little nervous, and quickly checked his whole body, and found no trace of the goddess's spiritual thoughts, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a knock on the door of the grocery room on the stairs. Roy opened his eyes and rubbed his stiff face with both hands. He opened the wooden door of the grocery room and saw Leah holding a cup of warm lemon tea on a tea tray. There are also two biscuits inside.
"You haven't eaten yet. I brought breakfast down for you. Eat it quickly."
Leah handed the plate to Roy, squatted at the door of the grocery room, held her delicate face in her hands, and looked at Roy with a smile.
Roy took the plate and thanked Leah: "Thanks, Leah."
Then he silently picked up the tea cup and took a big sip before saying:
"How is Alice's condition? If it is convenient, I would like to go and treat Alice this afternoon."
Roy knew what Leah needed.
Leah never concealed it from Roy. She even acted very straightforwardly, getting close to Roy and trying to please him just so that Alice could get better quickly...
Normally, if Roy said this, Leah would definitely give Roy a sweet smile.
But this time Leah shook her head with a smile and said to Roy: "Alice said that she can wait for two more days before treatment. She is in good condition and wants to try to absorb the power of the Holy Light herself."
Roy had long discovered that Alice was secretly learning magic, 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 her hands, raised it slightly, and a pillar of holy light fell down.
Roy didn't even hear her reciting the prayer, but the holy light full of healing power was real...
Alice learns divine magic even faster than Leah learns dark magic.
Precisely because of examples like Leah's before, everyone didn't pay much attention to Alice's ability to learn magic.
I just feel that Leah and Alice are really born to learn dark magic and divine magic...
Roy will deliver the power of Holy Light to Alice every two days, and then he will go outside with the Great Magician Grimes to hunt dark monsters, so that the power of Holy Light in his body can be restored as soon as possible.
Roy found that although Alice's character was introverted and gentle, she would occasionally behave in unexpected ways.
Sometimes she would lean against the window sill and stare at him non-stop. Her eyes were full of complex emotions. Roy even felt that Alice hated him...
Most of the time, Alice will be a homebody, 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 Portal Expeditionary Army Camp and first arrived at Isnais. After everyone repaired for a day at the Isnais Expeditionary Army Camp, they headed to the third expeditionary army camp - Brinia.
The magicians were all inquiring about the lich along the way, but unfortunately they didn't find out anything along the way.
Fortunately, the Magic Wooden House is on the expedition road, so this journey is uneventful. It is quite 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 the expedition road...
And this expedition road is real, straight and hard on the black sand sea.
Steel Golem walked on this road pulling the magic wooden house. His legs did not sink into the fine black sand, but left a clear row of large footprints on the expedition road.
After more than half a month of traveling day and night, the magicians finally arrived at the Briniya Expeditionary Force camp.
This expeditionary camp was built on a sand dune. The camp was surrounded by desolation. However, on this desolate sand, Roy found that he could see the bones and scum of some dark creatures every not too far away. In the surrounding black sand sea Also everywhere.
The Great Magician Grimes and Roy sat side by side on the observation deck, watching everything in front of them.
"I bet that this place must have been a big battlefield before, otherwise there wouldn't be so many corpses of dark monsters here!" the great magician Grimes said confidently.
Roy pointed to the pile of sand in front of him and said, "Ahead is the Brignaya Expeditionary Force camp."
"Let's go over and check the situation in the camp first."
After saying that, the Great Magician Grimes slipped down from the observation deck and returned directly to the rest area on the second floor. Roy also slid down behind the Great Magician Grimes...
The two put on their magic cloaks, walked directly out of the magic wooden house, and walked towards the Briniya Expeditionary Army camp.
Before entering the expeditionary army camp, Roy discovered that this camp was much larger than the Isnes expeditionary army camp, and there were also many priests living here. Most of the tents in the camp had signs of residence.
After entering the camp, there were many priests watching the two of them along the way.
The main road in the camp is lined with stalls set up by some vendors, and more than half of the stall owners are priests.
Roy stopped in front of a street stall. He pointed at the Dark Warcraft materials and asked:
"How do you sell these things?"
The stall owner looked up at Roy and said angrily:
"Trading with soul crystals, point me to which one you want to buy, and I'll tell you the price!"
Roy squatted in front of the stall and picked through the selection. He asked about the price of almost every Dark Warcraft material, but he didn't pay for it...
Under the angry gaze of the stall owner, Roy clapped his hands and stood up, and then left the stall with the great magician Grimes.
Roy found that although the priests in the Temple of Liberty here did not have the power of the Holy Light, they were in very good mental condition. There were even some priests who were actively organizing small teams, and they all spontaneously headed into the depths of the Dark Land. , some priests have already prepared their luggage for the long journey.
The scene where these priests saw them off was also very lively...
Roy mingled in the crowd and watched for a while. He even had a quiet exchange with a priest next to him.
"Ahem, do you know a great priest named Reed?" Roy asked the priest next to him.
The priest shook his head and stared at Roy with a look on his face.
Roy quickly waved his hand to express his understanding, then ran to another priest and asked, "Do you know a great priest named Reed?"
He asked more than a dozen priests in succession and got almost the same answers. None of them knew about High Priest Reed.
Roy was a little discouraged, but the great magician Grimes who was following him encouraged him:
"Roy, when we usually do magic experiments, we do the same magic experiment for several months in a row. We fail almost dozens of times every day, and we fail for several months in a row. But we will still continue to make some new ones. try."
