Chapter 603 604. Conservation of Energy
In addition to a group of second-level warriors, this powerful adventure group in the Dark Gate Expeditionary Army camp also followed some powerful mercenary warriors. These mercenaries The soldiers are almost all first-level elf warriors at their peak.
There are sixteen second-level experts among the forty-seven members, and Byron Thor is one of them.
Roy wrapped his whole body in a magic cloak, which not only shielded his own breath, but also protected him from the erosion of the dark air.
This was not Roy's first time walking into a dark place. He was very familiar with the environment around the Dark Portal.
There are relatively few dark creatures nearby. Of course, this matter is inseparable from him.
After walking out of the Dark Portal Expeditionary Force camp, looking around, there was a desolate scene under the dark red sky, with black oily soil, sand, and gravel everywhere.
Only when the sky turns red will the adventure group follow the road signs and walk deeper into the dark land.
These road signs are all custom-made with the simplest wooden boards, and even the imprint of the Temple of Liberty still remains on them. After the paint on the wooden signs fell off, the wood has been severely decayed. Roy felt that if he just pinched it with his hands, the street signs might be damaged. Rotten.
Every one or two kilometers, everyone will find a road sign. The adventure group will follow the road sign to advance to the Esnes Expeditionary Force camp.
When the dark red sky begins to darken, the adventure group will start looking for a campsite...
At this time, the creatures in the dark land gradually woke up from their slumber, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Roy was sitting in the tent and could clearly feel countless dark creatures floating outside the tent. He put his face behind the curtain at the entrance of the tent and could vaguely spot the dark creatures in the air, like thousands of small fish. Swimming in the boundless sea is a spectacular and even scary scene.
The camp where Roy is located is a secluded place somewhere on the extremely deep and desolate seabed.
Even if there are so many second-level experts in the adventure group, everyone can't rush on their way during the time when the dark creatures wake up.
Every day, the tent must be set up before it gets completely dark.
The campsites chosen are almost always in a gap between huge rocks, a huge shallow pit on the ground, or in a mountain col, etc.
Most of the tents set up in the temporary camp were short. Roy huddled in the tent, his head still touching the roof of the tent. The outside of this tent was also covered with a layer of magic cloth, which could isolate the breath of adventurers.
Roy and Byron Thor lived in the same tent. Also living in the same tent with them were the great magician Dalakli and the dwarf shield warrior Linglan Bronzebeard, so Roy slept in the tent near the door. The location is such that as long as you open the curtain at the door a little, you can see the dark night sky outside.
Just as Roy peeked out, Byron Thor, who was sleeping on the other side, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up suddenly and quickly reached out to pull the opened curtain...
At the same time, a huge shadow suddenly appeared above the tent. A black giant more than 20 meters tall almost brushed the edge of the camp and slowly passed by the land.
The dwarf shield warrior, who had fallen asleep long ago, just stretched out a strong arm from his sleeping bag, wiped his nostrils and fell asleep again.
There is almost nothing but dark creatures on the road to Isnais.
Although the adventure group is composed of some mercenary groups and strong people in the adventure group, with rich wilderness survival skills, this depressing itinerary still makes everyone feel irritable, many negative emotions breed from the bottom of their hearts, and some members have bad tempers. Occasionally he would curse and mutter a few words.
Everyone became silent, and even normal communication gradually decreased.
The depressing atmosphere can make people feel restless...
…
But Roy said the atmosphere in the tent he lived in was quite harmonious.
Because the great magician Dalakli and the shield warrior Linglan Bronzebeard were close friends of Byron Thor. They were in the same mercenary group. Later, after the mercenary group was disbanded, the three of them were separated due to various reasons. And separated.
Byron Thor created a new mercenary group.
Just when this mercenary group was developing at its best, the mercenary group suddenly took over the mission entrusted by the Temple of Liberty.
Then the mercenary group joined the temple expeditionary force and entered the dark place...
At the beginning, the Temple Expeditionary Force's offensive in the Dark Land was almost overwhelming, and they continued to conquer the vast land of the Dark Land.
But later, the Supreme Commander of the Temple Expeditionary Force, Bishop Prince, discovered that the Temple Expeditionary Force had no way of occupying the Dark Land. As the battle line gradually lengthened, various shortcomings began to appear within the Temple Expeditionary Force.
Until a fierce battle that lasted for two months, almost all members of Byron Thor's mercenary group were killed or injured...
Byron Thor wants to go to the battlefield in the Dark Land and bring the bones of his mercenary group companions back to the Elven Continent. He has even prepared a cemetery, which is a hillside with a clear stream flowing through it. The tree is covered with lush chestnut trees.
Byron Thor hopes that the souls of these mercenary group members can return to the fountain of life. The elves believe that only in this way can the dead elves be reborn.
Other second-level experts who are willing to enter the dark place actually have some ideas of their own.
Some powerful elves are looking for rare magic materials in the Dark Land, because once the Dark Gate is sealed, it will become more difficult to obtain those magic materials...
Some strong elves venture into the dark place in order to find their relatives lost in the dark place.
Of course, there are also some elves who enter the Dark Land wanting to become witchers...
Most of the powerful second-level warriors are surrounded by some followers, and these followers are also warriors in their peak period.
Roy's main role in the team is to use the power of holy light to dispel the dark energy in everyone every three days and purify the negative emotions that have arisen in everyone's hearts.
Although the second-level experts are not easily affected by the energy of darkness, they will be corroded by the energy of darkness if they stay in the dark place for a long time...
…
On the eighth day when this adventure group of strong men entered the dark land, the adventure group built a temporary camp under a huge rock.
Roy used a hammer to drive an iron drill into the hard soil and tied a cable. Recently, he had consumed too much of the power of the Holy Light, and he felt a little tired easily no matter what he did.
He put down the hammer in his hand and happened to see the Dalakli magician hiding in the corner ending his meditation and slowly opening his eyes.
He looked at Roy curiously and couldn't help but ask him:
"Roy, as a priest, don't you need to pray every day?"
Roy returned the hammer to Linglan Bronzebeard, the red-bearded dwarf uncle, and then said to the great magician whose true age could not be seen:
"I don't believe in the Statue of Liberty, so I rarely pray." The great magician Dalakli asked curiously: "Then where does your power of holy light come from?"
Roy thought carefully before replying:
"When I was in the Elf Continent, the power of the Holy Light was floating around my body. They were very small, like dust in the air. I can absorb these particles of Holy Light to keep the power of the Holy Light in my body full. state."
The great magician Dalakli waved and asked Roy to come to his side, and continued: "But there are almost no particles of holy light in the air in the dark place, so what do you do?"
The surroundings had darkened, and some dark creatures began to wake up, and they began to swim slowly in the air.
Roy said: "The situation was better at the Dark Gate Expeditionary Army camp. At least there was only a Dark Gate across from Golfito, and there was a holy pool in the camp. The power of the Holy Light would soon be able to recover."
"When you enter the depths of the Dark Land, it becomes much more difficult to restore the power of the Holy Light. However, for this trip, I also brought some holy water here. I hope I can hold on for a while."
The great magician Dalakli recited a very simple sentence of Warcraft, and casually tore open a magic scroll. His movements were as casual as tearing a piece of tissue paper, and then a translucent ice cover separated him and Roy. Covered inside.
Roy was originally going to return to the tent, but now that he had this magic ice cover, he decided to sit there for a while...
"Are you a great magician?" Roy asked.
The great magician Dalakli nodded and admitted: "Well, I did it a long time ago, but it's a pity that I have never been able to become a third-turn mage."
"I'm very curious about what kind of existence a second-turn great magician is. Can you tell me about it?" Roy asked humbly for advice.
The great magician Dalakli didn't know how to explain, so he chose a language acceptable to Roy and said:
"How to put it, when your elemental affinity is high enough, you can use the power of magic to temporarily possess an elemental body, enter the elemental world, and sign a magic contract with elemental creatures."
"In this way, when you fight, you can use your body as a bridge and rely on your elemental contract partners to borrow a large amount of elemental power from the elemental world in a short period of time, so that you can cast fourth-level group magic, such as the one most commonly used by water elf magicians. Group magic is a blizzard, fire magicians can cast meteors and fire showers, wind magicians can cast tornadoes, etc..."
"There is no water here, can we cast blizzard?" Roy asked.
The great magician Dalakli said casually:
"Of course it is possible. In fact, we have found through research that the elements of wind, fire, water and earth, or between light and darkness, can theoretically transform into each other. There are a large number of earth elements and wind elements here. We Normally, we can recover mana through meditation, and we can use our contract partners to perform advanced group magic during combat, so whether there is water here does not affect our ability to perform water magic."
Roy was slightly startled. This was the first time he heard the great magician explain the relationship between magic elements.
I don't know what happened, but Roy remembered the law of conservation of energy, so he said:
"My physics teacher Mister Dasheng once said something, and now that I think about it, it seems to really make sense. He said that energy will neither be created nor disappear out of thin air, it will only be converted from one form into another. form, or transferred from one object to another, while the total amount of energy remains the same."
"This sentence seems to be quite philosophical."
Byron Thor poked his head out of the tent at this time and said something.
At this time, the great magician Dalakli seemed to be frozen in place, and the hand on his chest never fell.
He pondered for a long time before he woke up. There was a strange light in his eyes. He praised Roy and asked: "This sentence is so good that it can be written into the magic book! This person Mister Dasheng must be a great magician, right? But what is physics? Is it a subject of magic?"
Roy felt that he had let something slip. He didn't know how to bring the topic back, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Physics is a discipline that studies the basic structure of matter, such as the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth. of."
The eyes of the great magician Dalakli became brighter and he said excitedly: "He is indeed a magician!"
Roy couldn't help but cover his forehead. He didn't want to talk about this topic at all now.
…
In the past few days, a question has been lingering in Roy's mind.
This is what the great magician Dalakli said: the elements of wind, fire, water and earth can transform into each other.
Then, it is actually possible for light and darkness to transform into each other.
The priests are walking in the dark land, and they have never been able to absorb the power of the holy light in the dark land. The farther they go, the harder it becomes to obtain the power of the holy light.
Recently, Roy could only rely on holy water to slowly recover the power of holy light. Unfortunately, he consumed much more power of holy light than he could absorb from the holy water.
In recent days, Roy has been unable to sense the presence of particles of holy light around his body. As the effect of holy water becomes weaker and weaker, the power of holy light in Roy's body continues to decrease.
He tried sitting under the Tree of Holy Light and meditating, but it was of no use.
Although the Tree of Holy Light exudes soft holy light, it cannot restore the power of holy light in his body.
In addition, the flowers of light on the Tree of Holy Light continue to wither every day.
I don’t know how far the road to the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp is.
There was gravel and gravel everywhere. Roy followed the team and trudged forward. His physical strength was already exhausted and he had to drink a stamina potion every morning and evening.
There is no water or light in the dark land, and there are dark creatures everywhere.
Travelers who walk in the dark must be careful about all this.
When setting up a temporary camp, Roy failed to hold the hammer tightly and dropped it on the sand, almost hitting his toes.
Lanling Bronzebeard quickly asked him to sit aside and rest, then picked up the hammer to complete the next work.
Roy's body became a little weak, so he chose a quiet corner next to the tent to rest.
It is said that every priest in the dark land will be in the same embarrassing situation as Roy if he does not have the protection of the sacred weapon.
Roy took out a water bag from his pocket, opened the cork and drank some holy water.
The meager power of holy light can only bring slight relief to Roy's body. If he wants to fully restore the power of holy light in Roy's body, he will probably have to soak him in the holy pool...
