Chapter 607 608. Leaving Isnais
There is no so-called market in the Isnais expeditionary army camp.
The camp is full of dilapidated and abandoned tents, and is surrounded by all kinds of domestic garbage. There is no protection from the magic tower, and the camp is completely exposed to the darkness.
The only natural protection here is the huge crater, and all the buildings are at the bottom of the crater.
Even if the surroundings were completely dark, no dark creatures broke into the camp...
When Roy was wandering around, he could still see some traces of fighting in the dilapidated buildings on the edge of the camp. There was also a collapsed goddess statue at the entrance to the camp. You could see dry pools at regular intervals in the camp. These pools A drinking platform was also built on one side, but now these platforms have completely collapsed.
I heard that the Isnes Expeditionary Force Camp is the largest camp built by the Dark Land Temple Expeditionary Force.
But in fact, this place has become a forgotten corner. Apart from the ruins, there are only dozens of priests left here.
There is a small square in the center of the Esnes Expeditionary Force camp. A statue of the Statue of Liberty that seems to be relatively well-preserved is placed in the center of the square. A group of priests in gray robes knelt devoutly in front of the statue with their hands on their chests. Putting your hands together, you are praying devoutly.
Roy came closer, and no one in the group of pious priests even turned to look at him.
Standing behind the group of priests, Roy waited for a long time.
Waiting until these old priests finished praying and stood up in front of the statue, Roy saluted an old priest who had difficulty walking. He originally planned to bid farewell to the old priest this time. When the old priest saw Roy, he Open your mouth and say:
"If you want to live in the camp, then find an unused tent to live in. Try not to live in the edge of the camp. Find a tent that is not too damaged. In addition, try to reduce the consumption of supplies as much as possible. There is almost nothing here... …”
The old priest said as he staggered towards his residence.
"I definitely don't know the great priest you are looking for. There were too many priests who entered the Dark Land from Golfito, and they were divided into three groups. It is not strange that the priests do not know each other. It’s about the land.”
His throat was a little dry and hoarse, so he took out the water bag and took a sip.
Although there is a shortage of food here, there is no shortage of water.
The old priest had a haggard face, with wrinkled skin covering the bones, but his eyes were very clear. Although the robe on his body was dirty and torn, Roy could still see the decoration on the collar that symbolized the great priest.
"I'm not looking for a place to stay, because I'm leaving the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp soon. Before I leave, I want to say goodbye to you!"
Roy said respectfully.
The old priest nodded and said to Roy: "The living environment in the Dark Land is not suitable for us to live here for a long time. If there is no news, it is better to give up as soon as possible!"
"Have you ever thought about leaving here?" Roy couldn't help but ask.
The old priest shook his head slightly and said, "Where else can I go except here?"
"Perhaps we can return to the Elf Continent, where... we can live a more comfortable life in the future." Roy continued.
The old priest shook his head again. He stopped and turned around with difficulty. His eyes fell on the Statue of Liberty in the square, with a look of persistence in his eyes.
"I followed the expedition into the dark place in order to find the long-lost goddess."
"Under the guidance of the gods, we knew that the goddess was lost in the depths of the dark place. Unfortunately, we spent almost all the wealth of the temple and still could not find the goddess who disappeared in the dark place."
"But even so, I want to be as close to the goddess as possible, at least stay in the dark place. Maybe I will have a chance to hear news from the goddess..."
The old priest said to Roy in a hoarse voice.
Roy didn't say anything else. He just followed the old priest silently. Waiting for the old priest to return to the tent, Roy wandered around the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp again. To be honest, this place gave him too much disappointment. .
There are no magnificent buildings, not many priests, and not even a decent free market.
"There's rubbish everywhere here..."
Roy complained in a low voice and walked to the area of the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp that originally belonged to the free market. The ground here seemed a little smoother, but there was not even a ghost in the market.
In the depressed free market, Roy suddenly found a mixed-race elf girl sitting in a dark corner. She was wrapped in a tattered cloak, and the hood completely covered half of her small face. Only her slightly pursed lips could be seen. And a pointed chin.
Her fingers were slender, and she was actually sitting on a blanket with bare feet.
The part in front of the blanket belongs to the stall. There are not many things on the stall. Apart from some dead branches and yellow leaves, there are also a few gray-white soul crystals. Other than that, there is nothing else.
Roy didn't expect to see such a small elf girl in such a place.
"What do you plan to exchange for these things?"
Roy squatted down in front of the stall and reached out to pick up a dead branch. He didn't find anything special about this dead branch.
"This is a evergreen branch. If you put it into a water bottle, you might have a chance to sprout again in the future..." As soon as the elf girl spoke, her voice sounded very soft, and she licked the hair beside her ears. Silk, revealing half of the translucent pointed ears.
Roy said nothing and just continued to stare at her.
Unfortunately, only her chin and lips can be seen, and her skin is a bit gray.
Roy felt like something was wrong with her, so he squatted there and didn't speak for a long time.
"Elf biscuits, or something else edible, dried fruit, etc. You can replace it with anything."
The Elvish language spoken by the Elf girl has a very different accent from that of Castletown City.
"Are you the only one living here?" Roy asked curiously, still holding the dead branch in his hand.
The elf girl immediately became nervous, lowered her head lower, and then answered with a guilty conscience:
"I also have an uncle, and my uncle is a priest."
At this time, Roy closed his eyes. He could not feel the natural aura of the elf girl. Instead, he could feel a dark aura lingering around the girl.
When Roy closed his eyes, he felt that the elf girl's body had become unreal, like a black mist.
Roy glanced at the elf girl doubtfully.
Unexpectedly, Roy grabbed her wrist with one hand and rolled up her sleeves. There was a black streak of flames on the elf girl's forearm. After being contaminated by the dark energy, this black streak immediately spread out in all directions. It spread, as if there were real black flames burning.
When the little half-elf girl saw Roy grabbing her arm and rolling up her sleeves, her expression changed with fright.
Her arms were soft and smooth, and she suddenly broke away from Roy's hand. Then she dropped everything on the stall, turned around and got into the ruins of a tent.
Roy did not rush to catch up, but continued to squat in front of the stall, looking at the goods on the stall thoughtfully. He took out a small packet of elf biscuits from his magic belt bag and threw it on the stall.
After choosing again and again at the stall, I finally took away a half-cut statue carved from black wood, and then left on my own!
…
There was no news about High Priest Reed in the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp.
Roy left Esnes with regret this time.
I was originally planning to go shopping in the free market in the camp, but unfortunately there were no merchants in the free market in the camp, which meant that there was no Dark World of Warcraft materials to purchase.
Roy waited until the camp was completely dark.
At this time, the camp did not have any protective barriers. Those dark creatures floating in the air did not rush into the Isnes expeditionary army camp. They seemed to be floating along a specific route, and their movement trajectories perfectly avoided the Isnes expedition. Ness Expeditionary Force Camp.
I don’t understand why these extremely active dark creatures avoid the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp...
The night before leaving.
Roy hid alone in the tent and carefully sorted out the elf biscuits, breadfruit and other foods in his magic waist bag. He carefully divided them into forty portions, and then moved the foods out and took advantage of the dark night. The food was distributed to the poor priests left behind in the camp of the Isnes expeditionary force.
After doing all this, the black sky gradually turned into dark red.
Roy didn't say goodbye to anyone this time, because everything he needed to say was already said yesterday.
As the sky gradually dawned, Roy wrapped himself in a magic cloak and walked out of the Esnes Expeditionary Army camp alone, heading towards the Dark Portal Expeditionary Army camp.
…
Byron Thor, Linglan Bronzebeard and Archmage Dalakli who were hiding in the tent did not come out to see him off. They respected Roy's way of leaving silently.
Since they chose to leave quietly, the three of them running out at this time might make the atmosphere awkward...
However, they hid in the tent and saw Roy giving some food to the priests in the Isnes Expeditionary Force camp.
The dwarf uncle stuck his head out of the tent, stared at Roy who was gradually moving away, and said in confusion: "What is he doing?"
The great magician Dalakli had a much better impression of Roy. He showed an intriguing smile and said, "He seems to be helping these priests. This kid is really interesting."
Then the great magician Dalakli turned to look at Byron Thor and asked him: "Byron, where do you know him from?"
Byron Thor thought of the first time he met Roy in the tavern and said: "In Castleton City, at that time, he was looking for a second-level warrior everywhere and planned to take this second-level warrior with him. He went to the Partington plane to kill a sea beast priest..."
Hearing Byron Thor say this, the great magician Dalakli couldn't help but widen his eyes.
As a second-level powerhouse, he certainly knew what kind of terrifying existence the Sea Beast Priest was.
Although the sea beast priests are also powerful at the second level, most of the sea beast priests have a more powerful contracted sea beast...
"Byron, did you kill a sea beast priest before coming to Golfito?" Archmage Dalakli asked tentatively.
Byron Thor smiled lightly and said:
"That's true, but the sea beast priest was in a weak state and was led to the seaside by them. The contracted sea beast was shot to death by an arrow from me before it even showed its power."
"I really have you." Even the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard said with some envy.
The great magician Dalakli asked doubtfully: "Did this kid actually come into contact with the sea beast priest in the Partington plane?"
"To be honest, his status in the Partington plane is far higher than we imagined..." Byron Thor looked at Roy's voice that had become very blurry and whispered.
Dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard and Archmage Dalakli looked at Byron Thor at the same time.
"He was the first officer to form a regular army of mixed elves in the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom. It was of great significance to the mixed elves, and he saved a large number of mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau in the Partington plane. Elf." Byron Thor whispered.
Dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard opened his mouth so wide that he even forgot to close it.
Byron Tolle continued:
"Did you notice that there seemed to be someone following us on the way from the Dark Portal Expeditionary Army Camp to the Esnes Expeditionary Army Camp?"
The dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard shook his head vigorously and looked at the great magician Dalakli.
The great magician Dalakli also shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not aware of it.
"Do you know why I keep asking you to accompany Roy when he goes hunting? In fact, the most suitable person to accompany him is me!" Byron Thor whispered to Linglan Bronzebeard.
"Did you go do something else?" the dwarf uncle asked tentatively.
"Well, Great Swordsman Alvin and I went behind to investigate who those guys were following us, but they seemed to be deliberately avoiding us, and they were just ten kilometers away from us. It was obvious that they had no intention of doing anything to us. Threats, and I tried to get close to them several times, but in the end... I couldn't find them."
Byron Thor's eyes showed an unconfident emotion.
This surprised the dwarf Linglan Bronzebeard and the great magician Dalakli even more.
…
While the three of them were whispering in the tent, Roy had already left the Esnes Expeditionary Force camp and arrived at an agreed-upon location ten kilometers away from the camp to meet up with the Dark Moon Elf warriors lurking here.
Roy had previously bought several maps from merchants in the homeless camp. These maps marked the approximate directions of several nearby wild camps.
By overlapping several maps, the location of the wild camp became more certain.
And this group of Dark Moon Elf warriors have been following Roy. They have found these wild camps. They are just waiting for Roy to leave the Isnes Expeditionary Army camp and head to one of the wild camps...
Roy plans to go shopping in these wild camps, mainly to purchase dark monster materials.
This time Roy prepared a large amount of soul crystals, and the Dark Moon Elf warriors also carried a lot of hard currency, such as elf biscuits, dried fish, etc...
