Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 126 Jian Cheng
the next day.

The bright morning light shone in through the thin windows of the hotel, but the orange-yellow light did not bring any warmth to the room.

Under the radiance of the light, a black figure sitting cross-legged on the ground remained motionless, its thin body let the cold wind howl wantonly.

"Ding!"

You have cultivated through unremitting efforts:

Gain experience points: 300 points!
Obtain practice points: 100 points!
……

When Thorn's "Qi Refining Technique" was fully activated, he immediately felt a wave of heat spread to his whole body, instantly dispelling all the cold air accumulated in his body overnight.

Thorne slowly opened his eyes, glanced at his own state, and fell into deep thought.

Ever since he completely absorbed and fused the life essence of the devil's will that night, he has vaguely noticed a small increase in the energy of his qi.

Even the daily practice completion time is nearly half an hour faster than before, and the practice points obtained are 50 more.

"Could it be that most of the demon's life essence was refined by the "Qi Refining Technique", which led to a significant increase in the energy of its own Qi." Thorn got up and closed the thin window that had been open all night, whispering to himself .

If it wasn't like this, the demonic power in the palm couldn't be just one level, so the abnormality in "Qi Refining Technique" might be a sign of an imminent breakthrough, Thorne couldn't help guessing.

Then he looked at the 5000 practice points he had already accumulated, and after thinking about it, he allocated them to the strike technique "Shadow Blade Technique" of the Shadow Hand School.

Shadow Blade (Strike): You wield your weapon in a deliberate manner, creating the illusion of having twice as many weapons, and when you strike, both weapons simultaneously slash at your opponent.

The function of "Shadow Blade Technique" is to mobilize the power of the shadow. When you use the weapon to attack the enemy, it will transform into an identical phantom weapon, distracting the opponent's attention and making your real attack hit.

Of course, if the phantom weapon hits the enemy, it will also cause shadow damage. This first-level move can have unexpected effects when fighting the enemy one-on-one.

Although the moves of Nine Swords can be completely mastered through continuous training, it is still not as convenient as Thorne to gain experience through continuous killing of enemies, which is a relatively good convenience for him.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, there was a clear knock on the door, and Thorne was taken aback for a moment, then walked over and opened the door.

"Crench!"

Standing at the door was a thin tiefling girl with a light red face and a little freckles, wearing a dark red coarse linen dress, more like a very simple rural girl.

In her hands was a bowl of steaming soup and a loaf of bread that looked good.

Seeing Thorn open the door, he looked at him curiously, and blushed a little when he saw Thorn's appearance with his hood off.

"Come in." Thorne glanced at the two modern bows tied on the horns of the tiefling girl's forehead and said.

After finishing speaking, he let the other party into the house.

The tiefling girl put the food on the table, looked at Thorne with curious blue eyes, and said timidly, wagging the tail behind her:
"My father said that those with pointed ears are all elves. Is the elder brother also an elves?"

"I'm a half-elf race." Seeing the curious eyes of the original resident girl scanning his face and ears back and forth, Thorn replied with a bit of embarrassment.

After finishing speaking, seeing that the other party had no intention of leaving, he casually asked, "The bow on your head is pretty, who gave it to you?"

"This is a gift from a very gentle elder sister. It's a pity that she turned into a monster with wings and flew away half a year ago. She has never returned since then."

After the tiefling girl finished speaking, there was a bit of sadness in her expression.

Become a winged monster and fly away?Thorn was taken aback for a moment, and soon after trying to understand the reason, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed and emotional.

I'm afraid this player didn't suffer the backlash of the will of the blood. Before he died, in order not to hurt the people of Stallman Town, he forcibly stayed away with the last ounce of reason.

Then Thorn chatted with the tiefling girl for a few words, and finally left with some reluctance under his repeated gestures, and looked back for another look before leaving.

Obviously, for adventurers of a foreign race like Thorne, they can always arouse their curiosity.

Thorne took a glance at the steaming thick soup on the table, and found that it was filled with mushrooms and green vegetables, so he finished it with bread in peace of mind.

For a Thorne who once ate goblin and kobold flesh in his broth, he was extra wary of food being given to him.

……

When the lingering mist in the early morning dissipated, the midday sun shone across the entire town of Stallman Town.

Thorn left the hotel in the town, bathed in the sun and arrived at the door of Master Kailong.

Looking at the ajar door, he felt a little uneasy, then slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

The moment of entering the stone house, there is still a rush of heat and a faint smell of aromatic tobacco.

Similarly, there was no sound of banging iron as expected in the room, and it was still so quiet.

Master Kailong was lying on the recliner with his chest bare, his chest undulating slightly, and with the flickering of the fire on the pipe, circles of smoke gradually filled the surroundings.

Another young tiefling was still sitting at a marble table covered with various enchanting items.

Gently wiping a long sword, the blade of the long sword is dark red, and the blade is pure black, still with a familiar shape and outline.

Thorne immediately recognized that it was his long sword.

"Young half-elf, it's time to come, please wait a moment." Master Kairon raised his head slightly, exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and said with some difficulty.

After finishing speaking, he ignored the other party and lay there continuously puffing out smoke.

"Are you a player too?" The young tiefling who was wiping the long sword glanced at Thorne and asked.

"Not bad." Thorne walked over and nodded.

The player in front of him is not a strange tiefling variant, but a traditional tiefling race, who, like the original residents, is a descendant of the devil.

When they met for the first time, the other party kept lowering their heads to maintain their armor, and Thorne's eyes were not focused on the other party, so the two hadn't communicated with each other, so naturally they didn't recognize each other.

"Let me just say, how could these aborigines make the shape of the Eight-faced Han Sword." The tiefling player said while wiping:
"I have a collection of Han swords in my home in the real world. The Han swords are straight, unpretentious when in the sheath, and sharp when out of the sheath. I like this grand style very much. It gives people a sense of righteousness and domineering. feel."

After the tiefling player finished speaking, he handed the long sword to Thorne and whispered:
"After the long sword was completed, Master Kailong performed a mysterious sacrificial ceremony last night, resulting in serious injuries. He has been lying there since last night and has not gotten up."

"Mysterious sacrificial ceremony?" Thorne glanced at the tiefling old man and asked in doubt.

"I'm not sure about this. In short, Master Kairon seems to have paid a very high price for this long sword. You should ask yourself." The tiefling player shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Thorne took the long sword and walked towards Master Kailong.

When he walked up to the old tiefling and looked at him, a look of shock appeared on his face.

At this time, Master Kailong seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, with loose white hair scattered freely, a pair of deep-set eyes looked cloudy and lifeless, and a sense of vicissitudes of time was revealed between the furrow-like wrinkles on his face.

"Master Kairon, who are you?" Thorn asked subconsciously.

With a trembling right hand, Master Kairon moved the pipe to his mouth with a little difficulty, took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of smoke ring, and said with regret: "The main material of this sword is the container of immortal evil. Naturally, it is necessary to introduce A demon's soul is the most perfect, but it failed."

"So you suffered the backlash of the devil." Thorne's expression sank, and he immediately guessed the reason.

Master Kailong's demon lord is a demon from the bottomless abyss. Judging from the other party's condition, he must have failed in the demon summoning ceremony.

"That's right, a flaw in a perfect weapon is always a bit reconciled." Master Kairon showed a bitter smile.

"You have done a good job, Master Kairon, I will personally complete the last step." Thorn bowed deeply to the tiefling old man, and said slowly.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in the future. Can I give this sword a name?" Master Kailong shook his head and said.

"As the forger of this long sword, you should be the one to take its name." Thorne said not very concerned.

The name of the long sword "Dark Ember" was obtained by that dwarf player. Although Thorn complained about it many times, he never changed it.

"Then it's called: Slay Demons! Slay all demons." Master Kailong said without hesitation, and there seemed to be endless hatred in his cloudy eyes.

"Okay, it's called Demon Slayer." Thorne nodded in agreement, "Then Master Kairon, let's rest earlier."

After finishing speaking, Thorne took out a large bag of gold coins from the dimension bag, put it on the table, turned and left.

When Thorn walked up to the tiefling player, he paused again, and couldn't help asking, "Does Master Kairon have any enmity with the abyssal demon?"

The Tiefling player was stunned for a moment, and said: "Yes, Master Kairon's alien master is an abyssal demon. When he advanced a year ago, he failed to resist the temptation of the demon, fell into a state of madness, and killed his own demon. family."

After the Tiefling player finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, as long as you let him study the demon mark in your hand for a few days, he will most likely not be backlashed by the demon, but he didn't force you."

Hearing this, Thorne paused, and immediately clenched the long sword in his hand tightly, and disappeared from the door without saying a word into the blazing Valens bushes.
