Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 134 The Foot of the Mountain

Noon the next day.

The blue sky was cloudless, and the sun was shining brightly on the golden wilderness.

"Chirp!"

At this time, there was a loud eagle howl in the sky, and then a black shadow circled several times above Thorn's head, and swooped down with the sound of piercing through the air.

Thorn, who was sitting on the small dirt hill waiting, stretched out his arms, and the black shadow in the sky fell on his arms obediently.

After looking at the Dire Eagle's spiritualized eagle eyes for a moment, Thorne gently stroked the Dire Eagle's smooth and bright black feathers and said: "It seems that you are really urgent, thank you for your help for half a year, go and find you The original owner goes."

The dire eagle glanced at Thorne with human eyes, nodded slightly, and immediately spread its wings and took off into the air, disappearing in the direction of the snow-covered mountains with the sound of breaking through the air.

Thorne looked at the direction where the dire eagle disappeared, letting the biting cold wind blowing from the snow-capped Mount Varners scratch his face, slightly lost in thought.

At dawn, he and Andrina bid farewell to the wizard Alanis, who had different destinations, and rushed to the direction of Pushang Town without stopping, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain near noon.

"The climate here is much colder than that in Winter City." Andrina tightened her coat and sat next to Thorne.

"Winter City, which is next to the sea, is only separated from the Southern Kingdom by the Sea of ​​Glory. The turbulent sea breeze not only brings the salty smell of fish and shrimp to the city, but also sends the thermal air from the southern ocean, so The winter in Winter City is not so cold.

Pushang Town is very close to the Neverwinter Sea in the north. Every year when winter is approaching, a large number of turbulent cold waves from the north sweep across the entire Emerald Field with heavy snow, making it extremely cold. "

Thorne explained to her without thinking:

"Have you seen that snow-covered mountain? It is the melting snow of this mountain that alluvially forms the Emerald River that runs through the north-south direction of the Corina Peninsula. All the territories in the wilderness are built near the Emerald River. "

"You know a lot." Anderina said with a surprise look at him.

"The most basic geography knowledge in natural knowledge can be easily mastered by almost every professionally trained ranger, just like the geography knowledge we learned in school, there is nothing surprising about it.

Don't you spellcasters also need to master mystical knowledge, understand various magic devices and identify magic equipment. Thorne did not accept the other party's praise.

"According to the news from Dire Eagle, Pushang Town is currently being besieged by a group of jackals. If we don't get rid of them, we probably won't be able to enter the town today. Would you like to come with me to clean up those troubles?" .”

Thorne got up and patted the dirt on his body, looking in the direction of the mountains.

"Happy to accompany you." Anderina smiled and nodded.

"I have a very confusing question and I want to consult you." Thorn, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and turned around and asked.

"What's the problem?" Anderina asked in confusion.

"It's a question about advanced professional dragon vein warlocks." Thorne thought for a while, and said seriously:

"Dragon Vein Warlock's level promotion depends on the blood purification ceremony. As long as there is enough money to prepare materials, does it mean that the level can be quickly raised."

"Who did you hear that from?" Anderina asked back.

"I guessed it myself." Thorne said truthfully.

"It's not as simple as you think." Andrina shook her head and continued:

"Dragon vein warlocks only have two ways to advance. The first is to awaken the dragon bloodline on their own. While retaining the spellcasting ability of the warlock, they can continuously obtain the attribute bonus of the dragon bloodline.

This kind of advanced method is extremely demanding, and most of them are born in dragons. Too diluted dragon blood is difficult to advance successfully.

The second is to use purebred dragon blood, because the blood talent of the warlock profession is quite special, with a very strong fusion and absorption ability.

Even warlocks without dragon blood can transfer the dragon's ability to themselves through a special advanced ceremony after obtaining pure dragon blood.

After this ceremony, the warlock can advance to become a dragon vein warlock. The original spellcasting ability will not be weakened in any way, and the bonus of dragon power can also be obtained. "

"So you belong to the second type."

"That's right." Anderina nodded slightly, and continued: "Although the materials for the bloodline purification ceremony can be easily gathered in Winter City, there is only one thing that cannot be found."

"It's pure dragon blood, right?" Thorn finished speaking, thought for a while and continued:
"Your blood should come from the blood of the red dragon. If there is enough blood of the red dragon for you to use, can you quickly increase your dragon vein warlock level?"

"Theoretically, it is correct, but you have overlooked a problem." Anderina nodded first, then shook her head and said: "That is to give you too much power suddenly but you can't control it."

"Why can't it be controlled?" Thorne asked a little puzzled.

The world of Toril is a world where miracles are born all the time. It has happened that a mortal without the power to restrain a chicken can become a god instantly. How could a dragon vein warlock not be able to control the power of his own blood.

"How should I explain it?" Anderina asked after thinking for a while, "If in the real world, you suddenly received one billion, what would you do with this huge sum of money?"

"Most people will spend crazy revenge." Thorne thought for a while and said truthfully.

"That's what it means. Give you too much power, but you don't have strong willpower to control it. It's like giving a child a pistol, but he can't use it flexibly, and it's easy to accidentally injure others."

Anderina said: "Actually, the main reason is that purebred red dragon blood is not so easy to obtain. I don't have purebred red dragon blood now, and it is a problem to raise my level."

"Then why didn't you choose the race of dragonborn, so that you don't have to worry about dragon blood." Thorne asked with some doubts.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Thorne suddenly noticed the unfriendly gaze of the other party, and asked a little strangely.

"Don't you know what a dragonborn looks like?" Anderina rolled his eyes at him and said angrily.

"..." Thorne showed a sudden look.

The appearance of the dragonborn is like a dragon that moves upright in the form of a humanoid creature. Its body is covered with scales, without tail and wings, and its hands and feet are thick. Each paw has a thumb and three fingers.

The most important thing is a lizard-like head with a blunt beak, thick eyebrows, distinctive cheeks and ears.

The brows are covered with a crown of tiny, horn-like scales of varying lengths, resembling thick, sticky hair.

It is seriously out of touch with the aesthetics of the real world. Although it seems very strong, very few people choose this race.

"Let's go."

After Thorn finished speaking, he looked towards the foot of the waterfall town and moved his right hand to the hilt of his sword.
