Chapter 574 575. The Forgotten Heir
Although the mixed-blood elven warriors of the mine guard group usually only move around the camp and the mouth of the canyon, their special status still attracts the cold eyes of other Silver Moon elves.
The camp of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights is located in the northwest corner of the valley, a very quiet location.
There is often the fragrance of fruit tea wafting out of the camp, and the Silver Moon Elf Knights do not need to bathe by the lakeside waterfall outside the valley, which makes the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Second Silver Pegasus Knights live very comfortably.
The patrol mission was completed by flying a circle over the valley three times every morning, noon and evening.
The mine guard group did not receive patrol and garrison tasks. During this period, Roy and the mixed elf warriors have been paving the road from the Temple of Liberty to the mouth of the canyon.
Roy asked the mixed-blood elf warriors to transport some gravel from outside the valley, pad the road, and spread a layer of fine sand on the gravel. Unfortunately, there was no slate suitable for mining nearby, so there was no way to pave a stone road. Come.
After Roy came to Golfito, he never saw the dark door that everyone talked about.
Every time he returned to the camp, he could only sit at the entrance of the tent and look at the towering temple from a distance. The priests in the Temple of Liberty no longer lived here.
Currently, there are some elven magisters from the Magic Guild, the high priests from the Moon Temple, and the elven high knights from the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom gathered in the Temple of Liberty.
I heard from Captain Malthus that the elves were trying to seal the Dark Door in the Temple of Liberty.
Fundamentally solve the problem of the Dark Gate's ban on the Elf Continent.
If the great magician who is a second-level powerhouse can open the door to the elemental world, sign a magic contract with the elemental spirit, and use the power of the elemental spirit to release the fourth-level group magic, then when they are promoted again, they will become Third-turn magician.
Elf magisters actually already possess elemental bodies. Not only can they travel the elemental world, they can also mobilize the elemental power around their bodies at will, and use rune arrays to control these elemental powers.
The opinion of several magisters is to build a magic circle around the Dark Gate, using the power of the magic circle to seal the Dark Gate and prevent the dark atmosphere from continuing to spread in Golfito Canyon.
But the high priests of the Moon Temple do not want the magisters of the Magic Guild to guard the Dark Door alone. They hope to build a moon well in front of the Dark Door to seal the Dark Door with the power of moonlight and deter those elves who are preparing to sneak in. The dark creatures of the continent.
In the hall of the Temple of Liberty, the Magic Guild and the Temple of the Moon were insisting on their own opinions and could not compromise. Since the magic pattern sealing the Dark Gate involves the high-level runes of the Magic Union, the Magic Guild was unwilling to transfer the high-level magic runes to it. Share with Moon Temple.
The matter of sealing the Dark Door was also delayed because of this.
Roy lives in Golfito Canyon every day and can clearly feel that the sacred aura gathered in the canyon is constantly dissipating, and the dark aura is getting more and more solemn.
I heard that the magisters of the Magic Guild and the high priests of the Moon Temple were constantly quarreling every day in the lobby on the first floor of the Temple of Liberty, while the high knights of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom could only stand in the mud between the tit-for-tat sides...
…
The mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard group spent more than half a month and finally paved the avenue from the Temple of Liberty to the entrance of the canyon.
Roy took some mixed-blood elf warriors back to Mulayaki City on a magic airship, and loaded all the military supplies stored in the port warehouse onto the magic airship.
Before the magic airship left the harbor, Roy came to the Philek Manor with a letter written by Viscount Philek.
This manor is a large forest. The carriage walked along the forest road for a long time before seeing a giant towering tree. This big tree is almost two hundred meters high. The huge canopy covers a lot of mountains. It is perfect. It blends in with the surrounding woods.
It looks like a building, with a trunk diameter of more than fifty meters, but there are hundreds of steps built on the exposed tree roots...
The carriage stopped at the bottom of the steps, Roy stepped out of the carriage, and a silver moon elf who looked like a butler was waiting next to him.
Roy did not see the Silver Moon Elf nobleman owning such a lavish manor in the upper town of Castletown.
Especially this giant towering tree that has lived for who knows how many years. From the outside, it looks even more majestic than a skyscraper.
The Silver Moon Elf butler had a poker face, his eyes kept scanning Roy's face, and then asked Roy slowly:
"Are you Captain Roy?"
"It's me," Roy replied.
He had an indescribable feeling that although the butler's tone was very polite, it made Roy feel that he didn't think highly of him...
The housekeeper bowed slightly to Roy and said:
"Please come with me!"
Turning around and climbing up the steps, the housekeeper took Roy up the high wooden steps and walked into the giant tree.
After passing through the more than ten-meter-long arched passage, Roy raised his head and looked at the space inside which was wider than two basketball courts...
For such a huge tree, the inside of the trunk is actually hollow.
Countless tree vines hang down from the top of the trunk. These tree vines are covered with white roots. These roots exude a faint white fluorescence, making the space inside the trunk look a bit mysterious.
Walking up the circular staircase inside the giant tree, every few steps there is a moonstone inlaid on the wooden wall, and the soft light makes the steps appear a light blue.
There were many Silver Moon elves in the inner space of the tree trunk. When they saw the housekeeper leading Roy in, they all cast curious glances at Roy.
Roy walked for a while and finally found that the rooms carved out of the tree trunks were connected one after another.
Each layer is a ring.
Roy followed the housekeeper up five floors in one breath, which meant that he passed five ring-shaped areas inside the tree trunk. There were at least hundreds of rooms carved out of the tree trunk alone.
It can be seen that the Philek family is quite powerful in Mulayaki City, otherwise they would not own such a historic manor.
The housekeeper led Roy into an empty room. The room didn't look big, but it was very warmly decorated.
It should be a very private living room. Although the room does not have a terrace, it does have a round window. This round window is very grand. There is a soft wool blanket on the window sill. Sitting on the window sill On the top, you can just overlook the view of the entire Murayaki Bay.
Roy looked around the room for a while, then sat on the chair and waited for a while.
As a series of light footsteps came, the wooden door was gently pushed open. The butler and two Silver Moon Elf maids walked in carrying fruit plates and fruit tea. The two maids pursed their lips and placed the tea on the table. He obediently left the room at the butler's signal.
"Captain Roy, please wait a moment." After saying that, the housekeeper turned and walked out of the room without even looking at the expression on Roy's face.
In the room, Roy first sat on a chair for a long time, and then admired the scenery of Mulayaki City by the window. He felt that the shadows left by the sunlight through the glass window were constantly deflecting, and Roy drank all the fruit tea. , began to look at the color of the ceiling of the room, and Viscount Felleck's father never showed up.
Until there were bright footsteps at the door, Roy turned and looked towards the door. A young Silver Moon Elf in gorgeous noble clothes walked in from the door with a faint smile on his face.
His chin raised slightly, and his eyes narrowed into a line and looked at Roy.
"Are you Captain Roy? The Viscount Felek who took refuge in your mine guard group is my brother." said the young Silver Moon Elf.
Before Roy could answer, he nodded slightly to Roy: "Thank you for taking care of him for so long."
"It was Earl Macaulay who entrusted Viscount Philek to me. The person you should thank is Earl Macaulay." Roy said casually.
The young Silver Moon Elf was slightly startled, then laughed at himself and said:
"I asked him how he could have such means to become the guide of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. It turned out to be Earl Macaulay's help..."
Roy didn't want to spend any more time here, so he took out the letter written by Viscount Feilake from his arms, handed it to the young Silver Moon Elf, and asked casually:
"This is a letter handwritten by Viscount Felek. I was entrusted by him to deliver the letter. Now the task can be considered completed. Before leaving, is there anything you want to say to Viscount Felek?"
The young Silver Moon Elf didn't expect Roy to say this... He thought carefully before saying:
"He caused such a big trouble this time. Count Stasa was looking for Feleike everywhere in Muraayaki City. The family's troubles. In the past one and a half months, the Philek family's property in Mulayaki City has shrunk by nearly one-third. The current strategy we have chosen is to continue to gather the family's property and strive to consolidate it this time. Minimize losses.”
"As for my brother, I...well, the view within the family is that it is best not to appear in Murayaki City during the recent period, so as not to escalate the conflict between the Felek family and the Stasa family. We will find a way to help He is trying to clear up the relationship, but many businesses in the family have suffered heavy losses. It is best to wait for things to calm down and make other considerations. "
"Please convey these words to him, so for some time to come, my brother will be begging you!"
After saying that, the young Silver Moon Elf nodded to Roy again, and then took away Viscount Feilek's personal letter.
Roy left the Philek family manor under the leadership of the butler.
Until Roy boarded the carriage and sat on the double-row sofa, he could only sigh softly. He did not expect that such a wealthy family of Silver Moon Elf nobles would also have a power struggle among the heirs.
It looks like... Viscount Felek seems to have been abandoned by his family.
…
Roy returns to Golfito Canyon on the magic airship.
The magic airship landed in the lake outside the canyon, and all the mixed-blood elf warriors mobilized to move the supplies on the magic airship to the canyon camp.
When Roy passed the entrance of the canyon this time, he felt that the smell of the lavender mist at the entrance of the canyon was stronger.
The sacred atmosphere in the canyon became thinner and thinner, and Roy could even feel a dark atmosphere coming from behind the Temple of Liberty...
It seems that the plan to seal the Dark Portal in Golfito Canyon is imminent.
All the supplies were piled in the camp, and I was finally done with these things.
Roy lay down on the wicker chair in front of the tent, and the Silver Pegasus knights living on the other side of the camp began to line up to receive daily necessities.
Captain Malthus walked in from outside the camp with a team of Silver Pegasus knights. Hearing that Captain Roy had returned to the camp, he ran to Roy and said to Roy with a smile: "Tomorrow, The leaders of our various legions have been invited to discuss matters regarding the Dark Portal in the Temple of Liberty. Captain Roy, do you want to attend this meeting with me?"
Roy really wanted to go to the Temple of Liberty. He wanted to know how the priests lived in the temple.
Although the priests were no longer here, he wanted to see where they had lived.
"Can I go?"
Roy sat up from the wicker chair and asked uncertainly.
"sure!"
Captain Malthus laughed and said:
"But... you know it! Recently, the magisters of the Magic Guild and the high priests of the Temple of the Moon have been arguing fiercely, so even if we go to the hall of the Temple of Liberty to participate in this meeting, we will only be able to observe it at most."
"That's good! I just want to visit the Temple of Liberty. I promise to only bring my ears, not my mouth..."
Hearing what Roy said so interestingly, Captain Malthus waved his hand towards Roy:
"Then it's settled!"
As soon as Captain Malthus left, Viscount Felek came to Roy's tent.
The life in the canyon completely calmed down the impetuous Viscount Feilek. He was wearing simple leather armor, carrying an elf longbow on his back, and hung two pots of feather arrows on his waist. His right arm looked a little red and swollen. It looked like he had gone there. The archery training range is open for shooting.
Roy invited Viscount Felek into his tent...
Viscount Feilek also wanted to ask what kind of news the family had brought back. In the past, when he caused such trouble, his father would always step in to solve the trouble for him. He could return to Murayaki City as long as he hid outside for a while.
Roy sat opposite Viscount Felek and did not speak.
A ball of soft holy light appeared between his hands, and then this ball of holy light fell on Viscount Felleck's arm. Viscount Felleck felt as if a scoop of cool liquid had been poured on his arm that was originally burning, sore and painful. The coolness of the spring water swept away the burning pain in my arms.
Viscount Felek took a deep breath, looked at the arm that had recovered as before, and asked Roy tentatively:
"Captain Roy, are you a priest?"
Roy nodded and said: "Your arm strain is very serious. If you continue to practice, you may injure your arm tendons. I once served as a trainee priest at the Temple of Liberty in Castletown City for a period of time, so I learned Some magic."
Roy hesitated for a moment and continued:
"This time I went to your manor, but I didn't see Count Feilake. The person who came out to meet me was your brother..."
