Chapter 516: Chapter 257 Blessed Sun military camp_2

The Storm Magic Dragon was quite large, but in order not to affect its balance, everyone sat in a line. Tao Linlin sat at the front, with Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu at the rear. Long Dangdang taking up the rear spot while Ling Menglu was in front of him and Ming Xi was in front of Ling Menglu.

Ling Menglu turned halfway to hand over the sword, from Long Dangdang’s perspective, he could perfectly see her side profile, but she couldn’t quite see his gaze, only sensing a somewhat heated look from behind.

"Did you do something in the Magic Temple again? I feel like the Magic Temple is investing heavily in you! Your Mage’s Robe and Magic Staff are both of Legendary Class, right? Plus a spirit furnace, even more than what the Knights Temple is giving." Ling Menglu whispered.

Long Dangdang nodded. "I didn’t do much, I just awakened control over the darkness element with the help of my teacher, that’s why he formally took me as his disciple."

Upon hearing that he had awakened control over the darkness element, Ling Menglu immediately turned her head back. The two were already sitting very close and Long Dangdang was looking at her, as their gazes met and their breaths mingled, Ling Menglu’s face flushed slightly. But she said, "If you’ve awakened the darkness element, then we’re enemies from now on."

"We can’t be, regardless of what element I control, I’m always on the same side as you, my cousin."

"Humph!" Ling Menglu snorted lightly, but there was an unexpected sweetness in her heart.

The Storm Magic Dragon, a controller of the wind element, was flying for over forty-five minutes with the summoning time lengthened by the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace, and when it finally landed securely, they had already traveled more than four hundred kilometers from Holy City.

Tao Linlin’s expenditure had increased somewhat, but it was still quite worthwhile. She summoned several lower-tier flying magical beasts again to continue their flight in the northeast direction.

While Long Dangdang was riding on the beast, his mind kept recalling Wu Di’s teachings. Over this short half-month period, he had benefited a lot, becoming more profoundly understanding of the various elements’ relationships and how they interacted with each other. Even more crucial was the various methods of employing the Spirit Furnace.

Wu Di told him that no Spirit Furnace is exclusive. That is to say, an aggressive Spirit Furnace isn’t strictly for close-combat professionists; magic professionist can also use them. Questions such as how to combine the Spirit Furnace with magic, how to make different kinds of applications with the help of the Spirit Furnace, and how to integrate his magic with his knight’s skills were all discussed.

Compared to Zi Tianwu and Hai Jifeng, Wu Di is nearly a hundred years older. His rich experience is a treasure trove of knowledge. Guided by him, Long Dangdang felt as if he had opened a brand-new door to his cultivation journey, gaining a fresh understanding of many aspects.

The knowledge he gained this time was enough to hold him over for a while. Even without learning any new knight’s skills, he could clearly feel a significant increase in his combat capabilities.

Everyone traveled non-stop, resting in simple tents in the wilderness when tired. Their sustenance was food prepared by Tao Linlin prior to their journey, simply reheated and eaten. With a fire specialty Mage, they did not worry about cooking at all.

Finally, by the evening of the third day, they smoothly arrived outside Blessed Sun City.

From a distance, they could already see the majestic and towering walls of Blessed Sun City. The aspect that captured their attention though was not the city, but the sprawling military camp to the west of the city.

The camp felt so large as if it had no end, and it’s anyone’s guess how many people were stationed there. In the sky, flying magical beasts could be seen circling from time to time. Near the direction of the camp, there were clear fluctuations of elemental energy, indicating the presence of special array formations or equipment.

Before they could draw closer, an intimidating pressure approach from afar. Two large luminous griffins zoomed towards them from the sky.

While it isn’t as strong as the level 9 luminous griffin they encountered before, it still is a level 8 magical beast.

On the back of the griffin lay a fully equipped knight, coated head to toe in armour. On the right side of the luminous griffin sat their weapons, akin to a long-handled battle axe, and on the left was a shield.

The front end of the battle axe is spear-shaped, with a shaft reaching over six meters long. The massive blade reflects a chilling light just like a mirror. The blade itself was nearly a meter wide. One can only imagine the terrifying power when this axe swings down and impacts something at the speed the luminous griffin flies at.

The Knights’ Temple and Luminous Griffin Knight Brigade. These are the pinnacle forces of the Knights’ Temple. Though the brigade only consists of a few hundred men, their power is immense. Their mounts are at least level 8 luminous griffins, and the riders themselves are at least 7th rank Temple Knights. Their status in the Knights’ Temple is just below those of the Adamantine Cathedra knights and the Mithril Cathedra knights.

Long Dangdang initially wanted to challenge the Mithril Cathedra knight for a set of Mithril Cathedra armor, but before he could finish his guidance under Wu Di in the Magic Temple, they were tasked with a demon hunting assignment. They didn’t have time to challenge him and had to wait. The sight of the luminous griffin knights made the young ones like them boil with excitement.

"Who are you?" A luminous griffin knight asked in a deep voice.

The light behind Long Dangdang flickered, spreading his Spirit Wings, lifting him into the air, "Hello, I am Long Dangdang, the leader of the Demon Hunter Team 19115897. We are here to report in."

Hearing that they were from the demon hunting team and seeing their somewhat youthful faces, the luminous griffin knight said solemnly: "Show me your seed spirit crystals to prove your identity.

Long Dangdang took out his seed spirit crystal and presented it to them. After examining the seed spirit crystal, the intimidating aura from the two luminous griffin knights finally dissipated.

"Welcome to the Blessed Sun frontline. Please follow us." The voice of the luminous griffin knight was noticeably softer.

Although the members of the demon hunting team before them were very young, the Spirit Wings on Long Dangdang’s back made it clear that he was at least at the 6th rank. Moreover, only the strongest could join the demon hunting teams, and the younger someone was when they became a demon hunter, the better their talent. Thus, no one looked down on them because of their age.

Under the guidance of the two luminous griffin knights, everyone flew towards the direction of the Blessed Sun military camp. This time, they encountered no obstacles. Even though there were other professionists patrolling on their flying magical beasts, they would all salute when they saw a luminous griffin knight. This was basically the most top-tier force of the Six Great Sacred Temples in the air.

The luminous griffin knights led them to land a few hundred meters away from the Blessed Sun military camp.

"No one is allowed to fly over the camp, except for a few special leaders. You should keep this in mind in the future," the luminous griffin knight on the left reminded.

Long Kongkong looked enviously at the luminous griffin mount and couldn’t help but ask, "Excuse me, does joining the Luminous Griffin Knight Brigade mean you’re given a luminous griffin mount? Does this conflict with having a mount already?" Ensuring his dreams of being a dragon knight didn’t happen, becoming a luminous griffin knight would certainly be better than being a rat knight!

The luminous griffin knight replied: "No, the knights of the Luminous Griffin Knight Brigade undergo specialized training. Around the age of ten, we select from various academies for unified training. Once they reach the 5th rank, they all go to a specialized luminous griffin training base on the Knights’ Holy Mountain to make contracts. Those who complete the contract become reserve members; those who fail are eliminated. If you already have a mount, you cannot join."

Long Kongkong couldn’t help but feel regretful: "Why didn’t anyone select us previously?"
