City of Dimlight

Chapter 144 Embark on a Journey

In the oasis of life, the capital of the elf kingdom, Silamis, stood in front of a table and gently pressed somewhere. Soon a piece sank in the middle of the table, and then rose again to level with the table. There was a mirror where it rose. She put her hand on the edge of the mirror and injected magic.

After the magic injection, the mirror quickly emitted light, and the image of Rio appeared in it. Hello, distinguished queen!" He first said, "I'm very happy to see you!"

The queen smiled and replied, "Me too - Rio elders, I don't know how those adventurers are doing now? Are they the people you need to find?

"Yes!" The hermit answered affirmatively: "I think Leo is the driver of fate we are looking for. His appearance indicates that the wheel of fate begins to turn, and the final battle is about to begin!"

"So what do we need to do?" The Queen asked again.

"What you need is to increase the number of troops, hoard weapons and supplies, and help him strengthen his strength from now on, all of which will be our strength!"

"Do we need to inform other countries?" The Elf Queen said, "Although you raised an objection a few years ago that you would not discuss this issue until the wheel of fate began to turn, what about now? Do you think it's time?"

"Now it's not that we are willing to tell them whether we are willing to tell them or not, but that they can believe us or not," Rio said. "As human beings, I know our inferiority. Those in power are absolutely unwilling to risk their own country and army for this kind of thing! Yes, after returning to the ground, civilians may really be able to live a good life, but there is no big change for the nobles. They will not help us until the last minute!"

"It's too difficult for us not to rely on them," the Queen retorted, "Other countries can take out at least two million troops. In case it is really as you expected, this will be our main army at that time!"

"So I'm really looking for a reason for them to unite with us," Rio said mysteriously. "We must find a reason that can threaten the existence of their countries, and then let them take the initiative to join our camp."

"Can you find it?" The queen still doesn't believe it.

"It will be found," Rio firmly believes his guess: "I think we will definitely unite our underground world to fight against our enemies!"

He paused for a moment: "At that time, human beings need to find a coach that they all trust and support, so that it is easier to reach a union - I think it is feasible to strongly support Leo now, and their mercenary regiment can lead us all!"

"Well," the queen said, "Since you think so, I have nothing to say - now I will hold a meeting to discuss this decision with the Presbyterians to see how to help this young human and strengthen his mercenary regiment."

"But it should be carried out secretly," the hermit reminded: "Don't express our purpose so clearly first - it's not a mature time yet!"

"I know," the queen thought for a moment: "I have something else to tell you!"

"What?" Rio asked.

"About the abandoned blade," the queen said directly: "Now the dark elf clan has joined the army of the ghost emperor to help them find the abandoned blade!"

"This is a troublesome thing," Rio frowned: "The abandoned blade, an artifact, can improve their army ten times and a hundred times for the undead, but it doesn't mean much to our other races. It's just a weapon with undead magic!"

"Try not to let them find all the fragments," he quickly put forward his opinion: "As long as it is not complete, the power increase is limited and will not pose much threat to us!"

"I think about the same as you," the queen said. "I have ordered people to look for clues, hoping to find some of the fragments - of course, it's best to get them all in our hands!"

"Of course, if it really doesn't work, we can also support a ghost emperor to unify the undead world and then call for the army of the dead!" Rio made a joke.

Support a ghost emperor! Call for the army of the dead!

This joke echoed in the huge room of the Elf Queen, accompanied by the laughter of the two...

But no one thought that fate was really so wonderful!

※※※

Two days passed quickly, and Rio knocked on the door one by one and pulled the adventurer out of the room.

"What are you doing?" The child was a little unhappy: "I want to train for a few more days!"

"Time doesn't allow it, my child!" Rio replied calmly, "No one can be in our castle for more than three days, otherwise he can't get out," he explained to everyone, "You have been here for more than 70 hours now, and now it's time for you to go out."

Leo nodded and said to everyone, "Let's go, it's time for us to complete our own mission!"

Under the leadership of Rio, they walked through the castle and headed for the exit.

The hermit looked at Leo's look and praised, "Yes, it seems that you have gained a lot these days!"

If Leo used to be a long sword out of the sheath, and the cold light was dazzling, now he is like a sharp blade hidden in the scabbard behind him. This scabbard alone is enough to make people afraid.

"Introsed!" Rio said, "Fer than I thought!"

Leo smiled and nodded shyly, "I just broke through this layer, and I haven't experienced much yet!"

Bosk heard the dialogue between the two and didn't understand: "What do you mean, Brother Leo, have you broken through that layer?"

Leo didn't say anything, but Rio answered, "Now Leo has broken through the ninth level and is the magic sword god!" He looked at Bosk again and said, "You're also good. You've reached the seventh level!"

"Ah!" Obix jumped up first: "Brother Leo is in the ninth level! Oh, my God, my master is the ninth rank!" He grabbed Leo tightly and kept looking up and down.

"Don't look, nothing has changed - I'm still me!" Leo patted him on the head affectionately. For this apprentice that he has not officially accepted, it is really different to call himself master and his eldest brother, but the inner joy is really happy for himself.

Seeing that everyone has made great progress, Leo is also very happy, "This is indeed a good place. I think it's been more than 20 days inside, and it's only two days outside!"

"Ye, if only I could stay for a few more days!" Even Garlock has gained a lot and is very reluctant.

Aurora fell from the air, "Well, how many more days do you stay? - Do you know that in these two days, the magic crystals you consume are a car!"

"A car?" Leo was shocked by this number, "You said you consumed a car of magic crystals?" He repeated it again in disbelief.

"Yes," the little angel said, "The energy consumption of this magic array is really too high. I help you keep replacing the magic crystal, using a full car, more than 500 catties of magic crystal mine!"

Leo looked at Rio, "This is so expensive that I don't know how to repay you!" He was a little embarrassed to say that for magicians, magic crystals and magic nuclei are their greatest wealth. Now they have used so much at a time, and there are tens of millions of gold coins, so they can't find anything to repay.

Suddenly he remembered something, so he recited the spell of the space ring.

A dragon corpse soon appeared in front of him.

"This is what we got by chance," he said to the hermit, "I hope it works for you!"

"Ice Dragon?" Rio sighed, "The ice dragon can refine a lot of potions - this gift is very valuable and completely worth those magic crystals!" He was so happy when he saw the ice dragon that he couldn't help making a joke.

"As long as you don't mind," Leo said humbly, "Only this thing may be a little useful to you, and I can only take this one out!"

"One piece is enough," Rio put away the dragon corpse. At that time, I will refine some potions and find someone to take them out and give them to you!"

quickly arrived at the exit, which was not the passage that came in.

Rio took out a box and gave it to Leo. "This is a magic mirror. You can contact me as long as you enter magic - you can come to me if you have any questions." He continued his humor: "Although I can't help you with anything else, you can still do it by checking books and literature."

"Sir is joking," Leo said politely, then said goodbye to the hermit and walked into the dark tunnel.

Bosc, Garlock and Obix said goodbye to the hermits in turn. Rio delivered some of their books on improving their professional skills and urged them to help Leo.

This group of friends crossed a huge cave, which is much more natural than the stones processed by the dwarves. The top of the high cave and many rock walls extend to places that cannot be illuminated by the torch in the dark, making this group of friends realize the world in the dark. It is a dark underground, without light and sun, only endless darkness and enemies hidden in it. They were very careful with weapons as they moved forward, imagining that a large group of monsters were looking at them in the dark of the cave, or expecting a terrible enemy to jump down from the darkness above.

The rhythm of their footsteps has been following the unstoppable dripping sound, and its "tick" echoes throughout the hole, setting off the emptiness of this place.

They remembered what the hermit said: "Although this was a passage 200 years ago, after all, no one has left for 200 years. You must pass carefully. You don't know what enemies will hide in it."

But although it is dark here, it's really just that compared with the inside of the castle, after getting used to it, they found that it was actually covered with shimmering moss and emitting a little light.

With each step, their vision is clearer. Leo does know where he is and chooses the shortest road to the canyon, hoping to get out as soon as possible. After many minutes of walking, they felt the wind, indicating that they had reached the end of the tunnel, not far from the canyon where they first came in.
