Chapter 02: Inner Torture

A reckless assassination sparks a war between the two clans.

A reckless expedition inexplicably and indirectly ended the war, which affected millions of people.

And the author of all this is still ignorant of this.

At the foot of a cliff in the middle of the Great Rift Valley, Arthur and his men were struggling to climb the cliff.

When the dark magic elements frantically poured in from another dimension, Arthur and the others were the first to bear the brunt of the impact of the dark magic elements.

Except for Arthur, no one could withstand the impact of the surging dark magic elemental on his body, especially Arya, who was instantly drowned in the frenzy of dark magic elements as if she were drowning.

But for Arthur, it was a blessing in disguise, and the forced flushing of the magic elements made the magic power in his body continue to grow. Arthur's previous magic cultivation has always lagged far behind Douqi, and he has been staying at the initial stage of a third-level magician, and he is also proficient in the release of third-level fire-based magic "Burst Fireball", and the other systems of magic have barely mastered several first- and second-level magics commonly used in battles.

And the washing of the dark magic element made the magic power in Arthur's body quickly accumulate to the peak of the third level, and then easily broke through the shackles of the third level and became a fourth-level intermediate magician, and the magic power continued to grow after the fourth level. Arthur believed that with this level of dark magic element, it would only take him a day or two to further become a fifth-level magician.

But Arthur didn't have time at all, except for the old dwarf who could resist for a while, and Golly and Huey were on the verge of being lost in dark magic. And Arya has been completely unconscious, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.

Arthur quickly propped up a Level 3 dark magic shield to block the continued impact of the magic elements on Golly and the others. Picking up Arya, she and the old dwarf led Golly and a few of them, and ran quickly out of the cave against the boulders that kept falling on their heads in the violent shaking of the earth.

The mouth of the valley has long since disappeared, and the entire canyon has been reduced to a rift that stretches forward. Arthur and the beasts above the rift did not know anything about the truce, and they stayed at the bottom of the valley for three days before finding a suitable place to climb and prepare to come up.

In the past three days, Huey and Golly have come to their senses after moving away from the impact of the dark magic element.

Only Arya, although the person woke up from the coma, the spirit was lost in the dark magic, no matter how Arthur called them, it was useless, just like the strange people they met in the canyon before, only the instincts of the body remained.

When Arthur was about to climb the cliff with Arya on his back, he was stopped by Golly, "She's like this, where are you going to take her?"

Arthur was stunned, he hadn't even thought about it before Golly asked, he was just thinking about taking Arya back to the barracks and finding a way to save her.

"Don't forget, she's a member of the Church of Light, and many people know that we've been together for a while, how can you explain to outsiders that Arya is like this now?

Arthur was suddenly asked, he really hadn't figured out how to explain Arya's current state to outsiders, but said in embarrassment: "Arya is our partner, we can't give up on her no matter what?"

"No one will give up on her until you expose your dark magic. Even if Arya can come to her senses, don't forget that she sees you using dark magic, she is a light priest raised by the church since childhood, and her heart is always faithful to the church, why should you believe that she will not report everything she sees today to the church.

"I can't guarantee it. Arthur shook his head painfully, Golly was right, Arya is different from Golie and Moral, she was raised by the church since childhood, even if everyone has the experience of fighting together, he can't guarantee that Arya can lie to the Church of Light. For Pastor Light, lying to the church is tantamount to betrayal.

At this moment, Arthur was really in a dilemma.

Huey, Joan, and Moral didn't speak, and everyone knew that Golly was right, but it was just as hard to make a choice from their point of view.

Golly suddenly grabbed Arthur's hand and said softly, "Leave Arya here, it's the best choice for her and for us." ”

Arthur let go of Golly's hand and protected Arya behind him with his backhand, "No, I don't care if she wants to treat me as a friend in the future, Arya is our partner now, even if I have to face the pursuit of the church one day in the future, I can't give up on her now!"

There were tears in Golly's eyes, "Sooner or later, you will regret it!"

Arthur pursed his lips and didn't speak. Even if he really regrets it one day in the future, he will not regret this decision today!

The old dwarf Turutuk didn't say a word the whole time, and no one noticed that there was something different in his gaze at Arthur.

......

Frost Thunder Legion Barracks.

Shino, who saw Arthur again, was extremely surprised, he could never have imagined that Arthur and they would survive such a massive explosion.

Arthur told Sino about what happened in the Canyon of Sighs without any concealment, which made Sino sigh again.

As for what happened after the explosion, Shino was not in a position to know, only that the result was a truce between the two clans, and all the orc armies retreated to the west of the Great Rift Valley.

The Church of Light did not reseal the Great Rift, but after that explosion, no dark magical elements flowed out of the Rift. As for Arthur, the hole in the space they said was pierced by Louis seemed to have vanished out of thin air.

Arthur and the others harvested a total of more than 30 Yuan Crystals in the canyon this time, and when Arthur took out half of them as promised, the guilty Shino only took 10 of them and told Arthur that he owed them a favor. Because Shino admits that he has not fulfilled his promise to take Arthur out of them.

In the end, Sino solemnly warned Arthur that these things should only be used by himself, and must not appear on the market, otherwise they will cause unimaginable trouble.

Arthur also had a problem on his hand that he couldn't handle on his own, and that was Arya, otherwise he wouldn't have risked coming to Shino in the first place.

After seeing Arya's condition in person, Shino is also at a loss, except for hoping that Arya will suddenly wake up one day, only to find a great magician-level light or dark mage may have a way.

And before that, Shino and Golly were surprisingly unanimous, and no matter what, they couldn't let Arya appear in front of the Church of Light again.

Sino will find a way to hide Arya and report her to the missing list. In this war, the first batch of trainee Light Priests and Light Knights sent by the Church of Light have a death rate of more than 50%, and even if Arya's disappearance will arouse the suspicion of the church, as long as the church does not catch the real handle, it will not be too dangerous.

With a way to settle Arya, the boulder that weighed on Arthur's heart was half removed.

Perhaps, this time they can finally enjoy the post-war peace......
