Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 125 Dirty History

We followed the instructions of the scabbard and came to the Tara River Canyon. This canyon was full of potholes and we could see many traces of battles. Anna once mentioned this battle. It was one of the few cases of demon invasion close to the Church.

I heard from Anna that the demons won a great victory at that time, but after that the Holy See opened the Angel Gate, and countless angel legions rushed out, followed by a great rout of the demons.

We came to a cave, which was narrow enough for only children to pass through, so Wushuang, Dove and I had to go in. After about five minutes of climbing, the entrance of the cave gradually became larger, and many skeletons appeared in the cave.

"This should be the site of the battle. No wonder the ancient books only recorded the approximate location. It turns out that it is buried deep underground." Dove said.

"That's right! It's possible that the demons behind used some large-scale magic to bury them deep inside. But it's a good thing that happened, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see this scene. Let's keep going!"

We followed the scabbard's lead and came to a deeper place. A skeleton was lying on the wall, holding a jumping knife in its hand. We gently pulled out the jumping knife, laid the skeleton flat, and then slowly admired the jumping knife.

The Jumping Dagger is a black dagger with a magic circle engraved on it. This should be the secret of the Jumping Dagger's ability to teleport over short distances. Legend has it that wherever the user sees is where the Jumping Dagger can teleport. It is because of this Jumping Dagger that the Night Elves have always been the number one assassin for thousands of years, and even the Mist Blade clan, who are born for assassination, cannot catch up.

"Third brother, now that we have got the things, let's go. There are skeletons everywhere here and I'm a little scared!" Wushuang said.

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Wait! Wushuang, use a strong light technique!"

"Oh well!"

Bright Light is a primary light spell, and its function is to emit bright light, just like a flashlight. After Wushuang released the bright light spell, we found the words engraved on the wall, but unfortunately I couldn't read them.

"Dove! Do you understand what this text means?" I asked.

"This is the writing of the night elves. It should be what this skeleton drew when he was dying!"

"What does it say? Read it to us!"

"Okay! It says that our Night Elves and Mist Blades were invited by the Church to defend the Church. The demons were powerful and we suffered heavy casualties. The Church claimed that we only needed to hold out for three days before coming to support us. But we waited for a month and still couldn't see any sign of the Church! We Night Elves and Mist Blades were not good at fighting openly, so we had no choice but to retreat back into the cave. We killed many demons in the dark cave, and the angry demons used forbidden spells to bury us alive. Just like that, I waited day after day, and my companions died day by day, and finally I was the only one left. The despicable Church did not keep its promise. I swear that if I can escape one day, I will definitely kill the Church with my own hands."

"It seems that there must be something fishy about the great war between the demons a thousand years ago. On the one hand, the Holy See invited the demons to invade the Holy Light Continent, and on the other hand, it invited all races to come and resist." I said to myself.

"The demons were actually invited by the Holy See? Do you have any evidence?" Dove asked.

"I have solid evidence, but for some reason I can't tell you!" I explained.
