Chapter 55: A Light in the Darkness III.

Not to mention the Royal Knights stationed in Irma, the capital of the Duchy of Kasha, which is more than a thousand kilometers away.

Just for this female knight with long black hair and a kind of mixed Eastern and Western taste on her facial features, she didn't know anything, in the face of this abrupt invitation, Ye Qi, who had already passed that kind of naΓ―ve age, naturally wouldn't answer anything.

At the same time, looking at the young night watchman standing at the junction of darkness and light, he did not choose to respond to his request, but looked at the scene of Jonathan behind him. Ophelia, who had misunderstood something, muttered in her heart: "It's a pity, since it's another wood who only knows how to keep that bullshit oath." ”

Half ringing, with the introduction of Jonathan, who accompanied the female knight.

Hearing that this female knight named Ophelia was Ye Qi, who had come to Bal City to ask for help for the eldest princess and her party who were trapped in the Byron Territory, she looked at Jonathan when she remembered something.

Jonathan, who obviously understood what kind of question Ye Qi's eyes were looking at at this time, nodded.

Knowing that the team that set out to rescue the eldest princess and the civilians led by Byron this time, and escorted them back to Bal City, was from the night watch troops and the Dawn Temple, plus the elite warriors selected by the people in the city, at least Ye Qi, who had the combat power of the red bronze class, after getting Jonathan's clear answer, he explained all the precautions to Wang Anyi and the others behind him.

As for Jonathan, he came to inform himself this time, obviously misunderstood the relationship between the girl named Vivian, and Ye Qi, who had always held that as long as he did not violate his own principles, he would basically not let go of the opportunity to quickly improve his strength, so naturally he would not deliberately explain anything at this time.

In the end, in the face of Su Ruoxuan and Zhuo Nan's worried looks, Ye Qi, who replied with the brightest smile, left a sentence to the two daughters: "Don't worry, if there are no accidents, you can come back in two days." After that, he turned around and followed in the footsteps of Jonathan and the female knight.

In the middle of the sound, Ye Qi and the others, who passed through the gathering place of a large number of night watchmen's families in the cemetery, were at the gate of this aristocratic cemetery, and after the round with the eight priests who were already waiting here, wearing metal heavy armor, holding a steel shield in one hand, a heavy mace in the other, and the book of holy words on their waists, they kept marching towards the south of the city.

It was these eight full-time combat Dawn Temple's battle priests who arrived as promised.

Obviously, Jean is bringing six official night watchmen to join this rescue team, and this time he is about to walk out of Bal City, which is guarded by the flame of order, and needs to travel hundreds of kilometers in the wilderness to rescue, Jonathan, who has never been bottomless in his heart, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, let him sigh in his heart that the face of the royal family is big.

And when they came to the southern gate of Baal City, the so-called elite warriors selected from the people, in fact, were seven adventurers from the Adventure Guild, who had been waiting for a long time with three carriages full of torches.

Among them, a spellcaster standing behind these six adventurers, dressed in a mage robe, whose head was completely hidden by the hood behind the robe, caught Ye Qi's attention.

On the side, Jonathan, who noticed Ye Qi's gaze with a strong curiosity, opened his mouth and explained in a low voice: "It's the Starlight Adventure Group that came from the north last month, and I heard that the strength of the members is very good, and the next two, that is, the two twin brothers, also have the strength of the black iron high-level......"

With the introduction of Jonathan beside him, under the guidance of the former's gaze, Ye Qi looked at the two twin brothers who were carrying longbows and quivers, wearing fine leather armor, and should be in their twenties.

"Their leader is the guardian warrior, named Sean, whose strength should be around the high level of Copper, and his reputation in the Adventure Guild is very good. It is rumored that they had offended a great nobleman in the north, and he had brought the entire party with him by boat along the tributaries of the Attali River...... Oh, that girl, it seems to be called Sophia. That's right, a mage who is unusually rare among adventurers. Moreover, he is also an official mage recognized by the caster's guild. ”

Under Jonathan's series of introductions, which are all based on hearsay.

Ophelia, who was in charge of the command of this rescue operation, was the leader of the Starlight Adventure Group, the one who was dressed in metal plate armor and carried a wide tower shield behind his back, and understood that a "small place" like Bal City, to the strength of Sean and Jonathan, she must know the existence of each other, so she didn't introduce anything at this time.

The group raised the blazing torches, and under the watchful eyes of the good people at the city gate, silently passed through the two heavy city gates that were opened by six soldiers of the garrison.

Yes, at the junction of darkness and light, the shadow minions who whispered and waved their black arms at the people.

The female knight naturally didn't pay attention to it, but Ophelia, who was worried that the shadow demons in the darkness blocking people's vision, would launch a surprise attack on the rest of the team, still calmly ordered: "Mage, the light dance is constant, and the range of light is exaggerated. Priests, take turns blessing the warriors' weapons. ”

As Ophelia's words fell, Sophia, who knew that her duty in this powerful team was to provide as much light as possible along the way, was the Zero Ring spell that she whispered: Light Dance, that short spell.

In the middle of the sound, four balls of light emitting bright light were suspended in the air in the four directions of the front and back of the team.

And with a priest who came to him, he blessed Ye Qi's Black Yao Sword with a ring of divine blessings.

During this period, there were already 23 soul crystals, and I was thinking about whether to increase the level of the "Broken Step" skill in my skill column, or keep Ye Qi, who was going to improve the career level of the Night Watch, and looked at the system interface in front of me to explain the blessing effect of the "Blessing Technique": Positive Energy Strike Effect +2, Duration: 30 minutes.

He just decided to go back and propose Wang Anyi to go to the Dawn Temple for an "internship" and find a way to establish the main profession as a combat priest.

After all, not to mention the "blessing technique", at this time, face the powerful effects of those energy form shadow demons, or shadow minions.

Just "eliminating fatigue", which is also within the scope of the one-ring magic technique, can very well improve the continuous combat ability of your own group of traversers.

Although, this kind of magic that works on the body will have a little sequelae.

For example, "eliminate fatigue" can make a high-level warrior of black iron recover the full physical strength in a short period of time when the physical energy is consumed, and there will be a certain amount of weakness after the battle.

However, under the anti-heaven effect that can almost be regarded as allowing a person to last twice as long as the battle, most of the time, it can often save your life, after the battle, a certain amount of weak time, is this still an important thing?

Therefore, Ye Qi, who had such a decision in his heart, walked at the junction of darkness and light along the way, under the strange eyes of others in the team, wielding the Black Yao Sword with a faint golden light on the blade, and in the weird screams of the shadow minions, these shadow minions that could be said to be the ones who sent points to him at this time were "returned" to the shadow plane.

As for it, why not use the Flame Slash Axe to be more powerful in the Elemental Strike effect?

That's not because during this period of time, Ye Qi, who has been focusing on the development of long sword weapons, naturally uses the Black Yao Sword, which is naturally more convenient.

It wasn't until the physical consumption exceeded fifty percent and the breathing became a little heavy that he put away his sword and returned to the team with his feet raised.

At the same time, in the team that had just passed through Qingshui Town, Jonathan, who mistakenly thought that Ye Qi must have lost some companions in Qingshui Town, and would have such a thankless move in the eyes of ordinary people under anger, stepped forward and patted the former on the shoulder to show comfort.

In this regard, Ye Qi, who realized that the good old man Jonathan had misunderstood something, could only sigh helplessly.

However, in the face of these shadow servants in the darkness, after trying to control the physical consumption as much as possible, Ye Qi, who had directly harvested 43 soul crystals again, sat in a carriage that was traveling with the team, pulled forward by two pack horses, and a large number of torches were placed on it.

Summoned the system interface, looking at the soul crystal pool that had reached the number of 66 soul crystals, it was for this time that had been stagnant for a long time, and had reached the sixth-level night watch professional level, and through his thoughts, he chose to upgrade.

Feeling the pleasure of the all-round improvement of physical fitness, although Ye Qi was happy in his heart, he could only tie his face in a pretended posture at this time, and almost didn't hold back his internal injuries.

Half a sound, looking at his skill points, which reached 45 points again, and was thinking about whether he should click on those skills that can be used to improve his proficiency, Ye Qi, but raised his head in the exclamation that several people in the team found something.

Looking into the darkness in the distance, a semicircle that looked like an upside-down on the ground, a golden light enchantment guarded several carriages, and several night watchmen in official night watch inlay armor who had fallen in a pool of blood.

Ye Qi, who didn't wait for Ye Qi, who realized something at this time, made a move.

In terms of perception, Jonathan and several other night watchmen who were obviously better than Ye Qi had already taken out of their waist bags and specially prepared a bottle of a large amount of phosphor for this rescue operation.

That's right, these dead night watchmen who fell in a pool of blood are naturally the rangers led by Hank!

But what about this barrier of light that guarded their corpses?

With such doubts, the rest of the team searched for the barrier of light, which did not prevent people from entering.

And although he had been prepared in his heart in advance, looking at the hideous wounds on the bodies of several night watchmen, and the other four night watchmen who came to Hank's body on the wheel of a carriage with four arrows in his upper body, and watched Hank die by tightly holding the black sword in his hand that was already full of gaps, Jonathan finally silently shed tears, his eyes were full of remorse.
