Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 170

Storm Lord is not the Lord of a certain territory, but the title of an advanced profession.

Most storm lords are advanced by priests or druids who believe in the God of Storms.

However, in order to successfully advance to a powerful profession like Stormlord, two hard conditions must be met first.

The first condition is that you must serve the God of Storms as your patron saint.

Talos, God of Storms, is a god of chaotic evil. He is cruel, impatient, irritable, and obsessed with chaos and destruction.

The doctrine of the God of Storms believes that life is a combination of random effects and chaos. His followers preach the power of Talos, and then by casting natural disasters, the intelligent races of all forces fear the hazards of storms, forest fires, earthquakes and volcanoes. .

Let those who don't believe or laugh know that the only thing that can save them is to pray to Talos, the god of storms, only in this way can they safely survive every disaster caused by natural disasters.

Therefore, all believers who believe in the God of Storms are a group of fanatical destroyers. In the name of the God of Storms, they burn, kill and plunder brutally like robbers.

If Talos is still not satisfied with the crazy killing and destruction rituals, then these evil believers will also burn all the settlements attacked to ruins in exchange for powerful power from the gods.

This is the most direct and efficient way for believers of the Storm God to please their gods. Wherever there are believers of the Storm God, you will often find summoned storms or destructive violent actions they are performing.

Thorne was fortunate enough to witness once, the human player Stormlord Albert, a small goblin tribe in the wasteland performed the Destroyer's Wrath ceremony on Talos.

In this ceremony, Albert first prayed devoutly to Talos, then roared Talos' holy name, then fell into a state of rage, rushed into the goblin camp, and attacked all surrounding buildings with lightning and flames and the goblins, then pray again, and then attack until all the creatures in the goblin camp are killed.

Because the clerics of Talos believe that the most sacred act is to destroy the enemy alone, the God of Storms will pay more attention to you.

In this alien world dominated by gods, believers of each god have a way to please their own beliefs to gain powerful power.

For example, the hunting ceremony held by the believers of Mara, the god of hunting, the hunting ceremony held by the followers of the god of tracking after a successful hunt, the holy night ceremony of forest rest held by the druids of the god of nature, and so on.

However, Thorne's occupation is not a priest, and the improvement of his own strength does not completely depend on the gods he believes in. The reason why he dedicated his main faith to the God of Tracking at the beginning was mainly for the convenience of tracking prey and performing ranger magic, so he is very concerned about tracking The hunting ceremony of the God of God is not so persistent.

However, the main occupation of the player Albert in front of him is the priest of the God of Storms. In order to gain powerful power, the way to quickly improve his own strength is to focus on destruction and killing.

In Fallstown, all the small humanoid tribes around him are the perfect place for him to perform the ritual of Wrath of the Destroyer.

As a storm lord Albert of the chaotic evil camp, while his crazy behavior eliminated the threat of humanoid creatures for the town of Falls, it also caused a lot of unnecessary troubles for the player forces in the town of Falls. Albert's joining It can only be said that good and bad are mixed.

The second advanced condition for the Storm Lord is to survive natural lightning or magical lightning. Simply put, it must be struck by lightning once, and then survive this test.

As a chaotic evil deity, the Church of the Storm God's reputation is naturally very bad, so most Talos temples and altar buildings are hidden in hidden places that are difficult to detect.

Even Thorne still doesn't know the specific location of the Talos Temple. The only general information he knows is an underground passage near the sea somewhere in the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range.

According to Albert, there were a total of thirteen player priests who chose to serve Talos in the temple at the beginning of the game, but in the end only five players met the conditions for advanced storm lords.

But he was the only one who really survived the lightning of the advanced test and successfully became the storm lord, and the others were all struck to death by the lightning that descended from the gods.

And the reason why the four players failed to survive the lightning, Albert once vaguely mentioned, was that their belief in the God of Storms was not devout enough, and they tried to use their ignorance and luck to deceive Talos. trust.

It was also that cruel advanced test that allowed him to truly see the terrifying anger displayed by Talos, the aloof storm god, and forced him to face up to the position of the so-called gods in his heart.

Therefore, in the player group, if you want to become a qualified priest, the first thing you need to do is to choose a god that suits your own personality. Without sincere belief in the god, trying to use cleverness to deceive trust is simply not going to work of.

The gods of the good camp are relatively soft in dealing with them, and generally just expel them. Facing the capricious gods of the evil camp, it is completely death. This is the main reason why the priest profession is not common among the player community.

Thorne looked at Albert the Storm Lord standing at the gate of the courtyard with a slightly dignified expression.

Although the two haven't seen each other for half a year, and the other's equipment has been updated, the eye-catching explosion electric shock pattern on Albert's chest made him recognize his identity at a glance.

This is a young human man. His burly figure is wrapped in enchanted full body armor. Inside his domineering long black hair is a headdress of silk rope with lavender light hidden. On the silk rope is a dark purple gemstone in the shape of lightning. , was tightly attached to the eyebrows.

Holding a two-meter-long pure black spear engraved with lightning runes, the sharp point of the spear shone with a strange dark purple light under the pale orange sunlight.

Albert, the Storm Lord, is the most powerful player among the players in Fallstown. His character is as irritable and irritable as the Storm God he believes in.

Moreover, he has a deep prejudice against Thorne, who is an original resident force. He has proposed many times to eliminate the original half-elves living in the upper city. He believes that these proud half-elves hinder the development of Upper Falls Town.

Because these native half-elves have the least population but occupy the most land, and the vacated land will never let the player forces set foot even if there are miscellaneous trees and shrubs growing on it.

However, the only good thing is that he obeyed his elder brother Torvi's orders, otherwise there might be some troubles.

The current power of the players in the following urban areas, if they really try to eliminate the half-elves in the upper urban area, let alone the success or failure, only the high-level ranger druids of the Temple of Melikai will directly regard the player group as an evil force, Then deal a devastating blow.

Obviously, Torvi, another force in the lower city, has long been aware of this problem, so this impulsive tragedy did not happen because of it.

It was originally a simple meeting between Thorne and Carlos, but after the arrival of the storm lord Albert, the atmosphere gradually became weird.

Moreover, the loud noise of the lightning explosion from the wooden door of the courtyard not only attracted the guards patrolling the town, but also attracted many idle players and adventurers.

It can be seen from the crowd gathered outside Carlos's simple courtyard that the cruel life in another world has not completely wiped out the melon-eating attributes that players like.

"Isn't the violent old man Storm Lord clamoring to kill the ogre wizard of the Skull Kicking Tribe recently? Why did he come back so soon?" An elf player surrounded the wooden fence and asked the barbarian player beside him.

"The head of the ogre wizard has been brought back by Ashmore, the orphan ranger, and Albert's mission is naturally cancelled." The barbarian player looked at the shadow in the courtyard, frowned, and said casually.

"It's just him?" The elf player curled his lips in disdain: "I still believe you said that he can escape from the ogre wizard in embarrassment, kill him? Let's just forget it."

"He definitely didn't kill it. It is said that the half-elf ranger in the courtyard killed it." The barbarian player pointed to Thorn's figure and said.

"It seems that our Lord Carlos has finally realized the weakness of his own power and knows how to recruit experts. Otherwise, his individual strength will be suppressed by the people in the West Bank. It is really aggrieved." The elf player glanced at him, his expression relaxed, and he couldn't help but Exclaimed.

"It's not even half a year since you came to Upper Falls Town from Seput City. There are some things you don't know at all. That's not someone recruited by Lord Carlos. The other party belongs to the half-elf force in Upper Town. Well, ranger players."

The barbarian explained to the elf player: "However, this guy has a very withdrawn personality. Relying on the power of the original residents, he is indifferent to everyone. To be honest, he wants to kill the ogre with his strength. Wizard, I won't believe it unless I see it with my own eyes."

"Since he belongs to the forces in the upper city, why haven't I seen him? And the human woman standing next to him is also from the upper city?" The elf player was attracted by Anderina's figure , said curiously.

"I haven't seen it either. It should come from other places. However, the matter about Thorn is a bit complicated. You'd better not talk about this sensitive topic with other people casually in the future, or if Lord Carlos finds out, it will cause a lot of trouble. His dissatisfaction."

Hearing this, the barbarian turned his attention to Anderina in surprise, couldn't help but look a few more times, and then immediately reminded the elf players in a low voice.

"It's a lot of fun to watch today. I don't know if there will be a fight between the irritable old man and the lonely ranger." After the barbarian player finished speaking, he looked at the situation in the courtyard and said with some anticipation.

"Shouldn't fight, no matter how irritable a brother sees his elder brother, he will be like a mouse meeting a cat, submissive." The elf player seemed to think of something interesting, and said with a smile.

"That's true." The barbarian player also showed an inexplicable smile.

"Did you see that, just after finishing speaking, that old smoker Tolvi came." The elf player noticed the movement behind him and whispered to the barbarian player.

"Chris, why did Albert appear here?" Tolway looked at Albert's figure, and said in a low voice to the trickster Chris next to him with a slightly displeased expression.

"It really doesn't matter to me. Albert didn't mean to kill the ogre wizard by kicking the skull tribe. As a result, the ogre wizard had already been killed, and then he came back." Chris spread his hands and said helplessly. .

"The Tyr paladins from Seput City will come to the Great Swordscar Mountains to perform missions in the next few days, and they will definitely come to the town of Waterfall to rest at that time, so all the people of the evil camp in the lower city must be careful." Torvi Wang Carlos glanced at the courtyard, breathed out a mouthful of mist, and ordered Chris.

"I see." Chris nodded, and then said a little depressed: "Albert knows the news of Thorne's return, and I really didn't inform him."

"No matter how he knows, call him back first. Now is a critical period, and the issue of taboo research has not yet been resolved. There can be no more troubles in Pushang Town." Torvi's expression shrouded in Xiaoxiao's smoke flashed After a little worry, he sighed slightly.

"boom!"

In Carlos' courtyard, Albert the Storm Lord thrust his spear into the hard ground, and said coldly to Thorne: "Thorn, I knew you would come back one day, I've been waiting for you for a long time , Today we will count the old and new grudges together."

Old and new hatred?

Hearing Albert's words, Thorn's originally dignified expression froze for a moment. Naturally, he knew the grievances between him and Albert the most.

At the beginning, the player forces had not yet settled in Pushang Town, and a large number of players gathered in the maple forest in the lower city. Because the half-elf leader did not agree with the players to live here at the beginning, a small part of the player forces had a strong desire to attack Pushang Town. Arrogant thoughts, the leader of which is the arrogant and ignorant Albert in front of him.

Albert, who had just advanced to become a storm lord, not only had the idea of ​​a strong attack, but almost put it into action. When he was arrogantly preparing to attack, Thorn, who was blocked, shot his chest with an arrow, and the sharp arrow As long as the arrow deviates a little bit, it will kill him.

If you don't stop him and arouse the anger of the original residents of the half elves, with the strength of the player a year ago, you will undoubtedly kill yourself.

Since then, the relationship between the two has been settled. Thorne can't understand the other party's violent and irritable temper, and mocks him for being struck by lightning.

Albert also couldn't understand his withdrawn character, and often called him a ranger with facial paralysis.

The two fought in the wilderness several times even under Torvi's strong efforts to prevent them, but they were both people who knew the general situation, and the petty fights did not develop to the point of life-and-death grievances.

Albert is a storm lord who has advanced from the priest profession, but his initial strength is not so conspicuous. The thunder damage attached to the profession characteristics can be easily resisted by Thorne's ranger magic.

Thorne's profession is a ranger, and his attack power is slightly insufficient, but he is omnipotent and can deal with many emergencies, especially in the favorable terrain such as wilderness and bushes. Neither side can do anything to the other.

Thorne knew the conflicts in the past. As for the new enmity, he felt a little confused and puzzled, because he returned to Fallstown and had no contact with anyone other than Torvi and Chris.

Obviously, he was baffled by the other party's actions.

He thought about the scene of meeting each other, but everyone is an adult, and they are all people who have experienced the test of life and death.

Even if the two sides met, it was nothing more than a few mouthfuls like the trickster Chris, and it was impossible to get into a big fight.

However, this Albert unceremoniously split Carlos' wooden door into a pile of ashes with a flash of lightning, and rushed in aggressively, as if I was going to fight with you today.

If it wasn't for Thorn's understanding of Albert's character, he really thought that the other party was struck by lightning.

Although Thorne was a little confused about where he had provoked the other party, he was naturally not afraid of Albert Chiguo's provocation.
