Chapter 620 621. Grimes
The black beast tide covered the bloody sky. Behind the beast tide was a black magic whale. It floated in mid-air. Every time it jumped forward, it opened its big mouth and The dark monsters and dark creatures in front were sucked into the mouth.
Its body is like a hill, its body is dark, and there is an exoskeleton growing in many places on the outside of its skin.
A group of witchers hunting nearby were so frightened that they hid in the sand.
At this moment, Roy and the Archmage Grimes were lying quietly in the Demon Sealing Box. Although the space in the box was not large, it was very clean, and the box was also very breathable.
When Roy sat in the box, his legs could actually be fully extended.
The inner wall of the box was a very soft blanket. If he wasn't worried about the big guy in the sky, he would even want to sleep in this magic box.
The Demon Sealing Box isolated Roy's breath and blocked Roy's perception. He didn't know what was going on outside.
After Roy was promoted to become a great priest, he advanced all the way to level 17.
He found that if he relied on a Holy Tree of Light to absorb the power of Holy Light from the outside world bit by bit, even if he raised a greenhouse of Flowers of Light, the progress would be extremely slow.
But ever since he successfully killed a sea beast priest in Sun Island Bay, that kind of leap-forward promotion has appeared frequently, especially when hunting dark creatures in the dark land, Roy has been promoted frequently...
He sat cross-legged in the Demon Sealing Box, meditating like the great magician Grimes, and saw the power of Holy Light in his body begin to circulate rapidly. He focused on his hands, and soon his hands were full of energy. The power of the Holy Light, the last part below the forearm, is almost completely assimilated with the Holy Light.
The tree of holy light also grows extremely luxuriantly in the body, and the flowers of light all over the tree occasionally shed some particles of holy light.
At this time, Roy tried to recite the sacred prayer silently. He didn't even draw the divine pattern. A holy light bullet immediately appeared in front of his body, which shocked Roy...
I don’t know how long it took, but I had no idea of time when I was hiding in the box, and there was a knocking sound of ‘tuk-tuk-tuk’ coming from outside the magic-sealing box.
Roy sat in the box, raising his hands above his head and trying to push the lid.
The lid was lifted...
Grimes stood nearby. He bent down and reached out to pull Roy out of the box.
The sky had returned to its original blood color, and the rushing black clouds had long since disappeared at the edge of the sky. Roy looked around above his head and asked Grimes: "The black magic whale swam away. "
"It swam away a long time ago. I guess this area may not be its territory. It just happened to pass by chasing its prey." After speaking, Grimes patted Roy on the shoulder, "Let's go, we have been out for too long. , it’s time to return to the magic cabin.”
When packing up the magic-sealing box, Grimes saw Roy's quick movements and couldn't help but ask:
"Roy, do you plan to join an adventure group and go on adventures all over the world?"
Roy patted the sand on his hands, straightened up and said:
"Actually, before joining the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion, I formed an adventure group with a few friends. However, by some chance, I became the leader of the mine guard group. I have no adventure plan for the time being. I want to lead Let these guys return to the Partington plane and plan the next thing."
Roy did not say that he had built a plateau city on the Pagisto Plateau, owned more than a dozen mines on the plateau, or had a fishing ground in the Bay of Sun Island, and that he had mastered the primary magic of the Partington plane. Herbal business.
In the Partington plane, Roy was indeed a little dissatisfied with the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. He felt that some Silver Moon Elf nobles in the legion were unwilling to abide by their original agreement. After the war on the Pagisto Plateau calmed down, they tried to invade and occupy it. Plateau mines.
When he came out of the Partington plane, he realized that some of the actions of the Silver Pegasus Legion were really a bit soft.
The Silver Pegasus Legion is the actual controller of the Partington plane, but most of the mines on Partington are actually controlled by Roy, although Roy's mine guard group belongs to the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion An external corps was formed, but the 17th Silver Pegasus Corps could only get half of the mine's income.
Roy knew that sooner or later some of the profits from the Pagisto Plateau mine would have to be given away. In the future, the profits from the Partington plane should come from three places, the primary magic herb trade, metal gems, and the fishery in Sun Island Bay.
Roy is most optimistic about the fishery in Sun Island Bay, because after the opening of a waterway between Sun Island Bay, Plateau City, and Padstow City, the magic airship will closely connect the three places, and the mixed-blood elves will not reject it. Fish, the fishery resources of the Partington plane are likely to be self-sufficient...
When Grimes heard Roy say that he wanted to bring the mine guard team back to the Partington plane, he remembered that the overly young half-elf in front of him was still the leader...
He slapped his forehead hard, smiled at Roy and said, "I almost forgot that you are still the leader. I never thought that there would be a Silver Moon Elf noble who could put aside the prejudices between races and let You formed a team of half-blood elves."
"Actually, the process is quite tortuous. At first, the mine guard group was called the mine guard group, and later it was expanded into the mine guard group." Roy said with a smile.
"So, you can become the leader of this guard group and you have a very exciting story?" Grimes asked Roy.
Roy rubbed his forehead and said casually:
"Actually, it's okay. I just feel like I've been being pushed along the way. At first, I just agreed to be a guide and lead the Pioneer Cavalry Regiment into the plateau. Later, I somehow became a regiment leader, and then my life changed. It seems pretty big.”
Grimes asked curiously: "Can you tell me what's different?"
Roy hesitated and said, "The first thing is that I suddenly became very rich."
Grimes was stunned, he couldn't understand.
After a while he said:
"...Sorry, as a magician...I lack the concept of Kohler. For me, the lowest trading currency should be magic crystal."
Roy knew that many Silver Moon elves had no concept of money and had lived a prosperous life since they were born.
Roy said: "I still remember that I sold a lot of nightmare vines to get enough money for this magic pattern construct."
"After becoming the leader of the mine guard group, I had some savings in my pocket. I never had the time or opportunity to buy a better magic pattern structure. In the past, I hoped to be able to cross the endless sea by boat and go to the other side of the sea. Take a look around, and now I hope that the mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau can live a better life."
Roy's words were somewhat implicit, indicating that the money in his pocket could enable the mixed elves on the Pagisto Plateau to live a better life.
But Grimes didn't notice this. He only heard Roy saying that he wanted to go to the other side of the sea...
"Is it the other side of the endless sea?"
"Yeah." Roy replied.
"Across the sea is the Roland continent. I have been there." Grimes said with some pride.
Then he continued: "That place has always been occupied by the Green Empire. A few years ago, when we had a fierce fight with the Naga Sea Tribe, His Majesty Ans Aier formed an alliance with the Green Empire and married the eldest princess to the Green Empire. Prince James, it was that alliance that allowed us to occupy the Queen Egwene Islands. A few years ago, I also heard that the eldest princess gave birth to a pair of baby girls. His Majesty Ansel personally gave birth to these two babies. The noble girls born in Golden Spoon are named Ying Li and Le Die, and they are almost ten years old now."
"The Grimm Empire?"
Roy heard many friends around him mention this name, especially High Priest Reed who told him a lot about the Green Empire. He was also full of curiosity about this country. "Well! By the way, there are many believers in the Statue of Liberty over there. The whole country believes in the Statue of Liberty. There are also many priests in their army over there. The army of knights formed by the priests and the constructed knights can even defeat them on the frontal battlefield. The wolf rider of the orc tribe," Graves continued.
"Construction Knights..."
The first time Roy heard about this kind of knights, he was a little surprised.
Then he began to think...how rich would it be to form an order of Constructed Knights?
Grimes continued: "Also, the magicians over there are good at fire magic, and human magicians also often appear in the army. They stand in a row behind the battlefield, and then cast large fireballs towards the battlefield. The entire The battlefield will burn."
Then he complained about the military preparation of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom: "It's not like our Elf Kingdom. Magicians rarely go to the battlefield, and the same goes for the priests of the Moon Temple."
Roy thought that a few days ago, with the help of the Great Elf Archers of the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom and the Priests of the Moon Temple, the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion struggled to win the naval battle on the Queen Igwene Islands.
Then he said: "Actually, the priests of the Temple of the Moon are pretty good. They also participated in the battle when the gray dwarf bandits attacked the Queen Igweni Islands a while ago."
Grimes smiled, curled his lips and said:
"I guess you don't know that the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion has to pay a large commission to the Moon Temple for this."
Roy was even more surprised: "Ah, do you still want to charge money?"
"Then why do you think the priest of the Temple of the Moon went to the Queen Egwene Islands?" Grimes asked Roy.
"..."
At this moment, Roy didn't know how to answer.
In fact, he also hates the priests of the Moon Temple...
The two of them walked and chatted as they walked down the gentle slope, planning to go to the next meeting point to wait for the magic wooden house.
As you go further down, there are more mottled and weathered rocks around, and some shells that have been worn out of shape are actually exposed on the black sand.
There are gradually more obstacles around, but there is still some soft sand underfoot.
Sure enough, the surrounding environment has some characteristics of the sea. At least there are no such gray and white shells bigger than fists on land...
"Be careful!" Grimes reminded Roy again.
He held Roy's arm to prevent Roy from taking another step forward.
Roy quickly took a small step back and looked where Grimes was looking. He saw an eyeball peeking out from a crack in the rock. This eye grew on a path full of thorns. On the vines, the vines stretched out from the cracks in the rocks, supporting the eyeballs to swing back and forth.
This eyeball is as big as a coconut, and the center of the pupil is endless darkness.
It kept scanning a fan-shaped area outside the rock, looking like a camera twisting back and forth.
"What is that?"
Roy was startled by the eyeball. At first he thought the rock had eyes. It would be funny if there was a rock giant hidden here.
But then Roy discovered that the rock showed no signs of movement, and only the eyeball was alive.
Grimes replied:
"That is a magic eye. It is a dark monster that monitors this area."
"Usually there are dark lords in this area... so there are things like this. They are a kind of dark parasitic monster. Let's not provoke them. Let's evacuate first." Grimes said to Roy.
The two of them walked back more than ten meters along the way they came, and then began to detour from the rocky area just now.
The road ahead becomes more difficult. There are some sharp-edged rocks hidden in the soft sand. If you accidentally step on them, you can easily twist your ankle...
Grimes's perception was much higher than Roy's, so he walked in the front.
Roy followed Grimes obediently around the rocky area.
Grimes's face became even more solemn. He stopped, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to Roy with a troubled expression:
"There's a fierce battle ahead, let's go around it."
"oh……"
Roy agreed, but stared at the great magician Grimes with a smile.
"Okay, let's take a look from a distance and then leave..."
After Grimes finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward, holding the magic wand tightly in his hand.
Roy also grasped the chain of the Book of Judgment, holding the sacred scepter in his other hand, looking around nervously.
…
Three gargoyles were squatting in front of a corpse, constantly pulling out a bloody intestine from the corpse's abdomen.
There were several fragmented corpses lying beside them. The dead were all elven warriors. The leather armor on their bodies was also torn to pieces. An elven long sword was stuck next to it, with blood constantly flowing from the sword.
More than three hundred meters away, Roy couldn't see what was happening in front of him.
But as a great magician, Grimes clearly saw the bloody scene in front of him. The three gargoyles had eaten so many elf warriors, and their bodies had grown significantly.
Grimes gritted his teeth and muttered: "These hateful guys, oh my god... why do I care about these bad things? Why on earth would I get involved!"
"Roy, follow me!"
After Grimes finished speaking, his body kept crackling, and a piece of ice armor covered his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He rushed forward suddenly, gesturing casually with the staff in front of his body, and an ice gun more than three meters long appeared above Grimes' head. The ice gun exuded a biting cold air, making him follow behind. Roy couldn't help but shudder.
