Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 147 Leader
"This Upper Waterfall Town, I feel that the contradictions in Twilight Town are deeper than that." Andelina followed Thorne's footsteps to the edge of the upper city, and said with a slightly helpless expression.

"No matter how chaotic the interior of Twilight Town is, in the final analysis, it is a group of players, with similar values ​​and identities, and with Sarayan's ability, it can still calm down those who like to make trouble."

Thorne and Anderina walked to a bare rock, sat on it and waited for the arrival of the half-elf leader, then stretched out their hands to signal the other party to sit down as well, and then continued:

"But it's different here. They are original residents, and they are also half-elves. This race itself is more sensitive to the outside world. They are a group of people who wandered alone and finally gathered together.

During their growth, after experiencing so much cold violence, they naturally rejected other non-half-elven races from the bottom of their hearts, which made it impossible for the two sides to get along in real harmony.

In fact, it was a very advanced decision for the half-elf leader to make concessions and agree with the players to build settlements at the foot of the mountain.

Originally, I didn't expect much, but unexpectedly, the half-elf leader actually nodded in agreement.

After all, this is a world where countless intelligent races are fighting for living space all the time. Without the guarantee of various interests, it is impossible for two races to get along easily.

I thought that the relationship between the two parties might gradually improve over time, but I didn't expect that the relationship would get worse after only half a year. I don't know what cruel things Carlos and Torvi did to anger them. . "

"Then can you see what might be causing it?" Andrina asked, sitting next to Thorn.

"I don't know yet." Thorne shook his head slightly, glanced at the empty road in the distance, and then said: "When the half-elf leader comes over, just ask."

"Are you planning to reconcile the conflict between the two parties?" Anderina looked at Thorn with interest, and said with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm not that great. In the real world, I'm just a very humble civilian, and it's the same here. The only thing I can do is to do my best to eliminate all those who try to threaten the safety of Fallstown. enemies, as for other things...it’s not my turn to worry about it.”

Thorne pondered for a moment, then said slowly.

An ordinary civilian who came from the real world may not even be able to mediate a small conflict between two people fighting, and it sounds ridiculous to try to reconcile the conflict between two races.

Regarding his ability, he still has self-knowledge, and he would be better off going to the wilderness to kill a few more monsters if he has that free time.

Let Carlos and Virto worry about this kind of thing, Thorne thought to himself.

"Your identity is not only our player group, but also a member of the original residents of Waterfall Town. If the conflict between the two parties wants to be reconciled, it seems that only you come forward is the most suitable." Andelina pondered for a moment, and asked Thorne analyzed.

"Me? Let's forget it. I'm born with a dumb tongue, and I don't know how to use rhetoric, nor can I say extravagant compliments. I'm afraid that if the conflict is not resolved, if the two sides fight again, the matter will become a big mess."

Upon hearing this, Thorne glanced at her, then shrugged and said helplessly.

"It seems that you still know yourself very well. Since you know your own shortcomings, why don't you try to correct them."

Anderina looked at Thorne's indifferent expression, was taken aback for a moment, and said in a calm tone.

"This is not a fatal flaw, and I have nothing to say to the monsters in the wilderness. When I meet them, I always communicate with the sharp blade in my hand, so if I have that kind of free time, I might as well practice more fighting skills. Thorne did not agree with the other party's proposal and said to her.

……

After a while, while the two were chatting, Thorne finally noticed footsteps coming towards him.

So he immediately got up and said to Anderina: "The leader of the half-elf is here, let's go."

Then he looked in the direction of the road not far away. Among the cluttered trees, under Thorne's complicated eyes, a dark green figure that impressed him walked towards him unhurriedly.

Among the half-elves in Fallstown, their elven blood basically comes from the moon elves.

This is the most common subspecies of elves on the mainland. Moon elves are more tolerant and adventurous than other elves, and they are the elves who get along best with their neighbors of other races among all elves.

So most of the half-elves' blood comes from the moon elves, and the same is true for the half-elves in Fallstown.

The half-elf leader of Fallshang Town is a priest who believes in the goddess of the forest and the ranger. Although he is close to a hundred years old, his blood from the elves makes him not look so old.

The only thing that impressed Thorne on this half-elf priest was his short dark blue hair that did not match his middle-aged appearance, because there were a lot of white hair mixed in it, which was particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.

Every time he saw the conspicuous white hair, Thorne would always remember very clearly what happened after his stomach was slashed with a shocking wound by the gnoll's machete.

At that time, he was already on the verge of death, and the dim flame of life would be extinguished at any moment. At this moment when his life was at stake, it was the half-elf leader in front of him who arrived in time and used the power of magic to save his life.

The half-elf leader, on the other hand, lost a lot of vitality due to the overdraft of divine magic, and the mottled white hair is the best proof.

In this real world, the priest's healing magic is not as immediate as the players imagined. As long as the pale white light of the magic is shrouded, even a seriously injured body will become alive and well.

In fact, many of the priests' healing spells overdraw their own vitality, which is the main reason why most priests on the mainland are short-lived.

"Thorn, you shouldn't have come back. You should have disappeared forever in Uptown Falls like that heartless Horat, and never came back."

The half-elf leader's blue eyes with gold spots first sized up the sorceress Andrina, frowned slightly, and then looked at Thorne, his tone revealing an undeniable sternness.

"Impossible, there is something I need to protect here, so I must come back, Chief Oster."

Thorn was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. He obviously didn't understand the meaning of the half-elf leader's words, but he still said it solemnly.

"Things that need to be protected?" The half-elf leader Oster repeated this sentence in a low voice, then sighed deeply and said to Thorne: "Since you are back, you should stay here honestly." , it is best not to have any intersection with people in the lower city."

"Why? What exactly happened between us and the people in the lower city that caused the relationship between the two parties to become so tense." Thorne asked a little puzzled.

"Actually, we didn't have any conflicts." Oster turned to look at the busy players in the lower city, and said slowly.

"Then why?" Hearing the answer from the half-elf leader, Thorne became more suspicious, not understanding what the other party meant.

"Since the tragic battle half a year ago ended, many questions that puzzled me have been solved." Oster said slowly with his back to Thorn, his eyes still looking in the direction of the lower city:

"That battle made me understand that it was precisely because their appearance broke the original balance of Waterfall Town that it led to the joint attack of the hobgoblins and the lizardmen. If I hadn't kindly taken them in at the beginning, there would have been no confrontation. A series of tragedies came down.

Poor Lilia, his father and elder brother will not all die in that battle, and the innocent and lively girl will not become unhappy, all of this is caused by my kindness, I am The biggest sinner of the Moonblade family. "

"Humanoids in the wilderness are capricious, and no one can predict their true intentions, and their losses are also heavy." Hearing the mention of Lilia, Thorne's expression was in a daze, and he walked to Oster. Consolation said.

"You're wrong, kid." The half-elf leader Oster shook his head, after a moment of contemplation, he pointed to the lower city and said:
"Before they arrived, there was a beautiful maple forest on both sides of the Emerald River. Whenever the moon of rotting leaves came, the maple leaves fluttered in the wind, like colorful butterflies flying, flapping their beautiful wings, showing their beauty in the autumn wind. The graceful posture, set against the clear water of the Emerald River, presents a beautiful scenery.

But now?What I saw was a large number of felled maple trees, endless crowds, thick city walls, neat rows of stone houses, and farmland everywhere. Attracted here, resulting in almost no peaceful days in the entire waterfall town.

Didn't you find out?Before they arrived, when did our Waterfall Town suffer a large-scale invasion? Those humanoid creatures are not stupid, and they also know that attacking the half-elf group living on the cliff is a thankless task.

But they are different, so we have to cut off any contact with the people in the lower city, and their life and death have nothing to do with us. After all, their arrival has caused us too much damage. Half-elves are an abandoned race. , we do this only for self-preservation. "

After the half-elf leader Oster finished speaking, he was silent for a long time before turning around and looking at Thorn. His expression eased, and he took out a bottle of wine and handed it to him, saying:

"Since this human woman is your friend, let's bring her in together. This is a bottle of Frost Wine, which was your mentor's favorite during his lifetime. Don't forget to visit him."
