Chapter 8 The Temple of Darkness (8)

Although the dwarves are not tall, they do not suffer any loss when dealing with ogres with extraordinary power.

In contrast, ogres who are too simple-minded are far inferior in cooperation. They only know how to attack randomly and are surrounded by dwarves from the three or five-man group in batches. When they are not as large as the number, the ogres will soon have a defeat, especially after the spider monsters join, the number of casualties is also the same.

"The spider monsters actually attack ogres? Aren't they all the way?" Eric was still surprised by the scene he saw with his own eyes, but Moya had already put down the horn in his hand.

"It's just right..." Looking up at the sun that had already sunk to the horizon, Moya slowly raised his right hand.

"What is that?"

Standing behind Moya, Maitaro noticed that she was wearing a mitral-shaped rose-shaped ring on her middle finger, and the blooming stamens shot out a red light under a nearly inaudible whisper.

Looking at the ring emitting red light in his hand, Moya did not answer Maitarot's question, but chose to remain silent.

This ring was handed over to him by Salto's chief Tothon. It was a special prop specially used by the Night Elf Priest to unlock the seals of the clan. He originally didn't want to take it, but when he thought that he had to rely on it to enter the temple, he barely took it away.

Moya is now full of contradictions. On the one hand, she does not want to continue to help the night elves who killed her parents, but on the other hand, she cannot resent Sistaer and Salto, who are members of the night elves.

I promised to help Salto rebuild the Night Elf Empire, so that the Night Elf no longer has to stay in the dark underground, and let the once glorious Night Elf Empire stand on the ground of Heinvega again.

I also promised Sistaer that he would no longer have to worry about his mixed-race identity. To become an elf queen, he would no longer have to be ridiculed and discriminated against by his tribe members.

But...how can I let go of the hatred between my parents and my tribe?

Should I blame the night elves? No, they are also chess pieces in God's hands, the same chess pieces as the Truks. Although I know, I can't do it if I want me to continue to serve as the priest.

I can't let go. My father was punished by Haas for me a thousand years ago, and never saw my daughter whom I sent away with since my death. I can't forget that my mother's sad and painful crying sound, the image of separation in the curse of the temple, made my heart hurt again and again.

what to do?

How should I choose in the future? Should I give up completely, die like my father, being punished by the Night God Haas, or... forgetting hatred, taking on the priest's duties, and leading the night elves to build a powerful empire on the ground again?

Very difficult... This choice is really difficult...

I don't want to disappoint Salto.

He had been looking forward for so long, and he used all his energy and life to exchange for another glory of the night elves. Can I extinguish the fire of hope that burned all his life and energy to ignite?

Sistaer... has experienced similar encounters and has different destinies. Mixed blood is the name he most inferior and hates the most. Even though he has received the seal given by Haas himself, in the eyes of the tribe, he has been an alien born of mixed blood with the white elves for the rest of his life.

It is precisely because I hope to break away from my father's mercy and the contempt of my tribe that I keep pursuing a higher status and reputation. Having a status that is not discriminated against is also Sistale's long-cherished wish. How can I give up the best time to help him fulfill this wish at a critical moment?

But how could I forget the figure who hugged each other tightly in the dawn. My mother's shrill cry and my father's eyes with tears hidden in them. How could I forget their final outcome?

The dark underground caves and cold swamps are their final destination... How can I forget those long-lasting memories that are engraved in my heart?

Salto, although you asked me to complete the trial of royal power with Sistaer, I hope to use this time to change my mind. But you don’t know that the fire of life burning in my body is gradually extinguishing, and what has always supported me to survive is the obsession of having to revenge. But after recovering the blank memory in my mind, I gave up, giving up this life that is longer than the elves.

Revenge, power, status, all of these are no longer important to me... The only thing I can do now is to help Sistale ascend to the throne of the Elf King. If he is his, he will definitely make Salto's dream of restoring the Night Elf Empire come true.

Although the boy had a very awkward personality, he would definitely achieve what he decided. I feel relieved to entrust the night elf to him... In this way, neither of you should have any complaints anymore.

"Hey! The situation over there is strange."

Pointing to the dense woods in the west and southeast, Maitaro's surprised tone made Moya calm down from her contemplation. Looking along Maitaro's fingers, she found something was wrong.

A strange "whip" sound came from the forest that grew extremely lush in the southwest of the valley. When the ogre, who was originally fighting with the dwarves, heard the sound coming from not far away, he immediately panickedly left the dwarfs who had been regarded as food and fled. Even the spider monsters controlled by the banshee's howl seemed to be frightened and quickly drilled back to their nest under the ground.

"What happened? Why did those ogres escape?" Yago turned his head and looked at his employer. At first he thought it was the priestess who used some strange objects to scare away the ogres, but when he looked back, he found that she was also confused. Only then did he realize that there was something strange in the woods in the southwest.

"I don't know either..." After taking out the magic map, Moya discovered that on the map, the forest showed some moving objects. Although there were not many and the movement speed was slow, it would be impossible to scare ogres and spider monsters away.

"Open the door of darkness and summon the evil bloodthirsty, and respond to my call, the Night Walker of Ice and Fire." To find out, Moya casts the summoning spell.

During the half-month cultivation period, she spent most of her time practicing summoning techniques except for copying various spells. This made her summoning technique much more skillful than before, and the spell was completed after the spell ended Moya's teleportation array.

The two-headed lion beasts with beautiful blue and purple scales appeared in the summoning array that was still emitting light, constantly shaking their sharp teeth-covered heads. The white gas sprayed out from their mouths formed a thin layer of ice on the surrounding ground.

As soon as these two monsters appeared in the open space in front of the demon dragon, the surrounding crypt dwarfs immediately took several steps back.

Warcraft Sarosha?!

Yago's eyes were slightly raised and glared at the two big guys that appeared in front of him. Isn't that the famous two-headed monsters in the Abyss Demon Realm? What are the plans for the priestess to summon them out?

"I want to use them to explore the way." Seeing Moya use the summoning technique to summon the monsters in the Abyss Demon Realm, Sistaer immediately guessed her intention.

"Yes, you can't let the dwarves go. If you want to explore the way, let the monsters do it." The crypt dwarves have extremely strong anti-magic power, and it is better to use it to deal with dark followers. How can they waste it in such a place as exploration?

Moya had long thought of using dwarves to deal with the dark followers with tight heels, and she was not worried about the group of malicious dark mages. As long as she taught the task of dealing with the dark followers to the raging dwarves, she would have enough energy to deal with the night elves' maze.

"Go and destroy the enemies in the forest."

Pointing at the forest full of strange atmosphere, Moya gave orders to the two monsters she had just summoned.

Because of the summoner, Sarosha dared not disobey Moya's orders and went straight to the woods where the plants grew vigorously.

However, they seemed to have encountered an enemy as soon as they entered. In addition to the roar of monsters from time to time, they could also see the red flame element magic, which caused the explosion to burn the forests around them.

Not long after, the forest calmed down. Apart from the burning branches, there was no sound.

"The situation is wrong... Why are the two monsters silent?" Amid Maitaro's doubts, the Furious Dwarf Mercenary Group also turned its inquiring eyes to the priestess who summoned the monsters.

I saw her frowning, and it seemed that the monsters exploring the way were already in danger.

"Luqi..."

"Boss, can you not go in?" Hearing Moya call his name, the demon dragon transformed by a human thief began to beg for mercy.

"It's okay if you don't go. Stay here to deal with the Dark Mage. Your scales are thicker and you're a magic dragon. It's okay to get two more dark spells. At most, you can open two holes and just rub off some skin."

"No... I'd better follow you in with you." Lu Qi, who originally wanted to give up, heard that the boss was a little unhappy, and quickly turned to the wind to agree.

"Then hurry up and go on the road, what are you going to be slow? You timid guy!!" With Moya's order, the reluctant magic dragon took a step and approached the forest that was obviously hidden in danger.

"Captain..." Deputy Rhodes spoke hesitantly; "The forest is too dangerous."

"Shut up Rhodes, we are the fury dwarf group. No danger can stop us from moving forward. The more dangerous the place is, the more suitable it is to temper our will. How can we break the reputation that has finally been established because of danger?"

"Okay, you are the leader, we all follow your arrangements." Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, Rhode, as the deputy captain, said nothing.

"Let's go and see how terrible the legendary dark temple is?" Seeing that the demon dragon's figure was about to disappear at the end of a path artificially stepped on in the forest, the dwarf Ago led hundreds of dwarves to chase after him.

***************************************************

The "cracking" sound of the flames led Moya to the place where she lost the pathfinder.

"It's Sarosha's corpse..." The sharp-eyed Sistale saw the first monster lying in the middle of the road.

Except for a few corpses on the ground that seemed to have been smashed into deep pits by force, there were only two corpses that had been significantly deformed at Sarosha.

"The bones are all broken." Jumping to the ground, Sistaer carefully checked the body of the monster; "It should be some kind of monster with very strong brute force, and he is very agile. Otherwise, how could a cunning monster like Sarosha be defeated in the blink of an eye, and he doesn't even have a chance to escape... Let's be careful, maybe you will encounter a crystal monster like the Frozen Temple." Drawing out the weapon, Sistaer's alert eyes kept scanning the surrounding forest, and no movement could escape his observation.

The dwarves also regained their previous caution and moved closer to each other to prevent reserves from being attacked by the enemy.

But at this moment when everyone was nervous and alert, the bard shouted loudly.

“Ah~~~~~~~”

"What are you calling? Don't distract everyone's attention. This will easily be attacked by the enemy." Glazed at Eric beside him in displeasure, and Maitarot was also startled by his sudden shouting.

"No, look, something very strange appeared over there!!" Following Eric's finger, concentrating on guarding the dwarfs and Moya who were hiding in the dark, Sistaer betted on the forest.

"A tower..." After carefully identifying it, Maitaro realized that the slowly appeared actually was an extremely magnificent building.

Originally, there was nothing in the forest. A blue-gray tower appeared out of thin air, like a mirage, slowly appearing in everyone's sight.

"Is that the Temple of Darkness?" Eric tried hard to identify the location of the tower from the twilight, and it was located in the middle of the forest. Although it was just a tower building, its scale was larger than any tower Eric had seen; "So tall... Why didn't we discover such a large building before entering the forest?"

"Because of the illusion as a barrier, this temple cannot be seen either in or outside the valley. Only at a specific time - at dusk, will the entrance of the temple be opened. This is recorded on the scroll, which is why most adventurers cannot find the temple of darkness. The so-called maze should be the white mist we saw before. As for the one who killed the monster, it should be the guardian of the temple." Drive Luci moved forward step by step according to the path where weeds had grown, Moya explained to the somewhat unresolved Metaro, Eric and the dwarves why this temple can only be seen after entering the forest.

"Guardian? Is it difficult to deal with?" Thinking of the bones on both ends of the body that were broken, and were sticky like a broken fruit, Eric couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He didn't turn into such a meat paste.

"Maybe...but it has nothing to do with you." Moya didn't want to reveal too many details. After all, it was the night elves' trial of royal power, and she could not let a human know too many details.

"But..." I wanted to ask again about what the guard was, but Moya raised his hand and signaled not to speak. She grabbed Luci's reins and stopped it from moving forward.

"Uh..." Seeing the sudden enlightenment of his eyes, Eric, who had always been talking, finally closed his chattering mouth.

At the end of the spiral path paved with pebbles is the towering blue stone tower.

In front of the stairs of the tower, two huge stone sculptures were the reason why Moya stopped moving forward.

Judging from the appearance, it should be a very famous bullhead monster - Miraros, a monster known for its great power.

Both of these stone statues held a big axe in their hands, blocking the path to the tower.

It should... be the Stone Guard who has cast magic, and will kill any approaching invaders without mercy.

After a careful observation, Moya made the above conclusion.
Chapter completed!
