Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 148 Half Elf Girl

Most of Upper Falls' Upper Township is surrounded by mountains, forming a rugged valley.

In this valley, except for a few roads for people to pass through and some special buildings, there are unknown weeds and strange-shaped miscellaneous trees growing in other places, which are in stark contrast to the dense stone houses in the lower city.

In the dense grove, most of the half-elf's houses are built close to the trees, and there are also many dense tree holes dug under the evergreen trees. There are high and low suspension bridges between the trees for people to pass.

With the permission of the half-elf leader, Thorne took Anderina on the road in the upper city.

However, Thorne, who was leading the way, seemed a little out of his mind after listening to the insights from the half-elf leader just now.

He repeatedly recalled the countless incidents, big and small, that happened in the past year and a half from the first moment he came into contact with this game and stepped into Falls Town until he left alone half a year ago.

Just after entering the game, he was curious about the overly real world, and when he had a general understanding of the world, he yearned for becoming a wilderness ranger.

In order to become a real ranger as soon as possible, he spent almost all of his free time in the game. In the training ground in Waterfall Town, he worked hard day and night to practice various skills and master natural knowledge of the ranger. .

And the ranger instructor Bartley Moonblade who guided his training at that time also praised him for having a ranger's heart, which made him happy for a long time.

He was once questioned about being addicted to the game and unable to extricate himself.

What is he playing the game for?
And his answer is also very simple: because he loves change.

what do you want to change
Regarding this question, Thorne was silent for a long time, and then slowly confide in his heart: what cannot be changed in the real world, he wants to realize it in the game, at least there is still hope here.

Unsatisfactory in reality, he wants to find a little stability in the game, this place is like his second life, nothing more.

Sometimes Thorne even thinks that it would be a good choice to live in the game forever.

After Thorn spent a year in the town of Falls, this kind of accident really happened, and everyone couldn't go back, so many people panicked, including himself.

The originally stable and peaceful Pushang Town was surrounded by a large number of homeless players, who just wanted to find a stable settlement here.

When the half-elf leader nodded, the maple forest in Fallstown was occupied by players, where they felled trees, built houses, reclaimed fields, and built walls to protect themselves.

Everything is developing towards the form of a civilized settlement.

But with the arrival of the players, as the half-elf leader said just now, evil humanoid creatures began to appear frequently in Fallstown, as if smelling the scent of delicious food.

There are many frictions with them almost every day, and players die in battle every day.

However, in the end, with the help of the native half-elf residents with rich combat experience, the settlement of the players was finally built up bumps and bumps.

With a house that shelters from the wind and rain, you don't have to sleep on the wasteland all day long, and you have a tall and thick city wall, and you don't have to worry about sleeping at night.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, as if to open a new chapter for these homeless players.

However, there was an accident, and the hobgoblin hordes joined forces with the lizardfolk to launch a full-scale attack on Fallstown.

As a result, the tragedy happened, and the originally stable and peaceful Pushang Town became like a purgatory on earth.

Are the players at fault?

They're not wrong, they're just a bunch of poor homeless people trying to survive.

In the same way, half-elves are not wrong, they refuse to interact with players, and they also want to survive.

In the battle to defend Fallstown, less than 300 of the half-elves originally had more than 200 people survived, and a full third of the population was lost.

It was precisely because of the tragic battle half a year ago that the half-elf leader realized that the source of all the troubles was their players.

He believes that if there are no players, Waterfall Town will continue to develop steadily and peacefully as before, and then continue to gather those half-elven people who have been excluded.

Today, although the philosophies of the two sides are different, they are both for survival, and they are also for protecting Pushang Town.

The same is true for Thorn, he also wants to survive and protect Fallstown.

Thorne, who had thought everything through clearly, was no longer so distracted, and his piercing eyes began to look at everything familiar around him.

The upper city of Pushang Town is full of dense bushes, which makes the air here look very cold, and there is a faint translucent mist floating around.

The melodious birdsong floated from the fog with a crisp tail, and the jumping figures of various small animals also appeared and disappeared on the branches.

Everything is still familiar to Thorne. Although he has experienced so many twists and turns, these have not changed, including of course his original intention hidden deep in his heart.

"Brother Thorn, you are really back. My bamboo dragonfly is hanging on the tree. Can you help me get it down?"

A little half-elf girl came out of the bushes and saw the surprise in Thorne's eyes, then walked up to him, raised her innocent head and pointed at the little toy on the treetop.

Sensing those innocent big green eyes, Thorne smiled at her, and was about to order the fierce eagle hovering above to get it, but found that the bamboo dragonfly hanging on the treetop was guided by an invisible wave of magic power, slowly Slowly floating in front of the little half-elf girl.

"Be careful next time, this kind of toy cannot be played in the woods." Anderina walked up to the little girl and touched her light blue hair, and said with a smile.

"Thank you big sister." The little girl took the bamboo dragonfly into her hands excitedly, tilted her head and looked curiously at Anderina's ears hidden in her hair, then touched her own pointed ears subconsciously, and said to She thanked her, turned and disappeared into the thick bushes again.

"Did you make that bamboo dragonfly before?" Anderina said with a faint smile as she watched the little girl's figure go away.

"I don't have that much free time for children's things." Thorne directly denied.

……

As the sound of the rushing water of the waterfall gradually approached, Thorne finally brought Andelina to the cabin he had been away for a long time.

The ever-flowing waterfall not far from the hut is like a gleaming sword piercing into the bottom of the water from above thousands of feet, and the white water mist it arouses is like the smoke rising from the explosion of the "fireball technique" .

The rising water vapor was blown by the cold wind, raising countless dense mercury stars, and rushed towards Thorne. Feeling the cool breath, he involuntarily took a deep breath, and suddenly felt inexplicably relieved in his dull heart.

"Thorn, you're back." Just as Thorne focused on the waterfall ahead, a soft voice sounded behind him.

"Chirp!"

The ferocious eagle hovering in the sky let out a joyous long cry, flapped its wings and quickly descended towards the source of the sound.

"Why did you appear here?" Looking at the half-elf girl walking out of the cabin, Thorne looked surprised, and then asked a little puzzled.
