Chapter 581 582. Expeditionary Force Camp
In the main hall of the Goddess of Liberty Temple, there was no longer any quarrel between the Magic Guild Magisters and the Moon Temple Priests, and it finally became quiet.
The rays of light falling from the dome filled the entire hall with a sacred flavor.
In the flower pond around the Statue of Liberty on the high platform of the hall, clusters of flowers of light are still blooming. The particles of holy light floating in the air are emitted by these flowers of light.
Every time Roy stood in this hall full of strong sacred atmosphere, the magic vortex around his body would spin rapidly, constantly absorbing the power of the holy light around him.
And the tree of holy light in his body is also swaying its golden branches and leaves happily...
Roy stood behind a group of Silver Moon Elf captains. He listened to the impassioned speech of the leader of the Gabrielleth Army standing on the high platform. The more he listened, the more unpleasant he felt.
Listening to the tone of the leader of the Gabrielle Regiment, the Elf Guards of Golfito Canyon are likely to enter the Dark Portal and officially take over the defense on the other side of the Dark Portal, and the priests of the Temple of Liberty guarding there When the Elf Guards enter the Dark Land, they will evacuate from the Dark Portal one after another, and along the expedition road, embark on a long journey to find the Statue of Liberty.
The elven leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group in the main hall were also whispering among themselves.
However, Captain Malthus had no expression on his face. The task of stationing in the Dark Land would not fall on the Second Silver Pegasus Knights anyway, so he was not worried at all about receiving orders from the Dark Land. garrison duty.
Captain Malthus turned to Roy and whispered: "Don't worry, the Mine Guard Corps, the auxiliary soldiers of the Silver Pegasus Knights, will definitely not choose us when recruiting guards to enter the Dark Portal this time."
Roy forced out a very forced smile.
The commander of the Gabriel Regiment stood on the high platform and talked for a long time. He felt that his throat was a little dry, and then he took the water glass from the adjutant's hand and took a big sip.
Then, he led the leaders of the Silver Moon Elf Guard Group out of the main hall of the Lady of Liberty Temple and walked toward the back along the heavily guarded main hall corridor. In the portrait, the bishops wearing white sacred robes inlaid with gold seem to be full of divine aura.
Roy mixed in the crowd, looked at the portraits, and even saw pairs of invisible wings on several portraits...
There was obviously nothing on the portraits, but when Roy looked over, he could feel the sacred aura stirring in these portraits, and then saw the invisible wings behind the bishop in the portraits.
Roy rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the strange atmosphere in the portrait disappeared.
Captain Malthus, who was walking in front, felt something was wrong with Roy, so he turned around and asked in a concerned voice, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, my eyes feel a little uncomfortable!" Roy replied softly.
After passing through the main hall corridor, we finally came to the back garden of the temple, which is surrounded by the main hall and side halls of the temple. Therefore, the back garden cannot be seen from the outside of the Statue of Liberty Temple.
A dark door nearly twenty meters high is located in the center of the back garden. It is a somewhat square rock door. In the middle of the door is a huge vortex formed by purple mist, with silver smoke constantly flowing in the vortex. arc.
The stone pillars on both sides of the gate are giant stone pillars of five meters by five meters and more than 20 meters high. There is an arched lintel on the top. The reliefs on the surface of the stone pillars are angels fighting shadow monsters with countless tentacles. The hands of the angels are holding hands. Using a sword emitting holy light, he drove these shadow monsters into a huge crack.
This crack runs through the earth and sky, and looks incompatible with the world in the relief...
There is almost nothing in the back garden except the Dark Door. It is just an arched corridor along the surrounding buildings. There is also a gate on the left side of the back garden. Roy guessed that the door is tightly closed. The gate should be the passage for the Expeditionary Force of the Temple of Liberty to enter the back garden. With so many expeditionary soldiers, it is impossible for all of them to enter the back garden through the corridor of the main hall.
Standing in front of the Dark Door, Roy couldn't feel the fluctuation of Hei's aura.
It was the first time for Roy to see the Dark Door, and then he discovered that there was a reason why the back garden was so empty.
The back garden of the Temple of Liberty is paved with bluestone slabs. These slabs are arranged in a circular pattern. In many places, there are some lines left on the bluestone slabs. Some of the traces that have been removed still contain some magic. Traces of runes remain.
These traces should have been left by the magicians of the Magic Guild. They arranged the sealing magic circle in the back garden. Unfortunately, the surging magic tide of the sealing magic circle affected the source of mana of the Dark Gate, causing the Dark Gate to collapse. Bad condition.
The magisters immediately dismantled the sealing array arranged in the back garden, but some traces still remained on the ground of these bluestone slabs.
Roy also saw the base of a high platform on the side of the mountain wall, where a group of priests from the Temple of the Moon were guarding...
Roy always felt that this back garden was a little weird. Captain Gabriels walked in with these leaders and sternly told these elf leaders to follow his footsteps and not to walk in the back garden. Casual activities in the square.
When he first walked into the back garden, Roy was a little confused. When he secretly injected a touch of holy light into his eyes and looked at the empty square, he immediately saw a completely different scene. The entire empty square in the back garden instantly ceased to exist, and was replaced by the ruins of a battlefield, except that the dilapidated ruins were all virtualized.
If it was just like this, Roy wouldn't be too surprised.
In addition, Roy also saw that the battlefield ruins were filled with long, short, large, and hundreds of spatial fissures. These fissures were like irregular caterpillars, suspended over the back garden square, and some It can even keep moving along a certain trajectory.
Through these space cracks, Roy could even see the endless void.
If these space rifts are properly utilized, teleportation gates can be built, but they are extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, they will cause a space storm. Once this space storm spreads, a huge black hole will appear. This kind of black hole will continuously swallow the World Stone, and even completely destroy the entire plane...
When these space rifts are swimming, they are like invisible sharp blades. Once any creature touches the edge of the space rift, no matter how powerful the body is, it will be cut off instantly.
At this moment, Roy saw many unstable spatial rifts appearing in the square in the back garden, and the path Captain Gabriels took with them happened to avoid all the spatial rifts wandering in the square.
The hundreds of spatial cracks in the back garden square made Roy break out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, on the steps of the Dark Door, stood a group of high-level Silver Moon Elf Knights. Although they were not accompanied by unicorns, Roy could confirm that they were a team of unicorns based on the unique aura exuding from them. Knight Squad.
Captain Gabrieles went straight up the steps. He did not stop in the back garden and strode into the vortex of purple mist.
The leaders of a group of Silver Moon elves followed the leader of the Gabrielleth Army into the Dark Portal.
…
The officers followed the legion commander to the other side of the Dark Portal. The sky here was no longer blue. It looked like there was no boundary with the star field. The light red sky was like the sunset glow of the fire cloud. .
Roy thought that the dark place was a lightless world, but he didn't expect that the sky was actually light red, and he could also see the surrounding scenery.
In addition to the majestic Dark Door behind it, this place is also in a canyon. The rocks on both sides of the canyon seem to have been polished by the wind for thousands of years. The wind flow traces are clearly carved on the rocks, appearing A series of very eye-catching horizontal stripes.
Those rocks also show a light earthy red color...
The priests of the Temple of Liberty built a temporary camp around the Dark Portal. In addition to simple tents, the most eye-catching thing in the camp was a huge pool built near the Dark Portal. In the pool, the holy light surged, clearly It's a pool full of holy water.
At this moment, nearly a hundred priests were filling some containers with holy water. They were squatting by the pool in silence. They were wearing travel cloaks and carrying many bits and pieces of pendants on their bodies. They looked like they were preparing for a long journey.
There are sixteen round houses built on the outermost edge of the camp. These houses are filled with huge diamond-shaped magic crystals. Each magic crystal flows with huge magic energy. This magic energy gathers on the roof to form an arc. beam……
Sixteen arc-shaped beams converged over the Dark Door, forming a large magic shield to protect the Dark Door.
It seems that the Temple of Liberty also built magical defenses in the Dark Land...
The leader of the Gabrielleth Army walked out of the Dark Portal with a group of Silver Moon Elf leaders, and were greeted by three priests wearing sacred robes.
Two of them should be battle priests, and the middle one should be a temple priest. These three priests are all humans.
When they saw the commander of the Gabriel Regiment, they bowed first and then said:
"Since you are ready to take over this Dark Portal, I will hand over this expeditionary camp to you. All the priests in the camp will leave here in two days."
"When you take over the expeditionary camp, the most important thing is the daily maintenance and inspection of this magic shield."
"The magic shield here can effectively block the perception of dark creatures, making this dark door in a state of duel and secrecy. In recent years, we have organized three expeditions in the dark land, and the Holy Legion often comes inexplicably from nearby. "Although those dark creatures haven't found this place yet, I guess they have guessed the general location of the Dark Door."
"So you must be careful when guarding here. Don't easily go outside the magic shield. That will leave clues for dark creatures to follow."
