Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 174 The Destroyed Thorne

On the banks of the Emerald River, a few solitary maple trees swayed with the wind, and the clusters of red maple leaves, like a group of immortal flames, burned on the branches of the trees, dotted with colorful river water.

The bleak cold wind passed by the treetops, making a rustling sound, like the whispers of the moon with rotting leaves, echoing in the breeze.

Thorne involuntarily reached out to take a slowly falling maple leaf, put it in his palm, and gently felt the breath of late autumn. The clear veins on the fiery red leaf surface were like memories cherished over the years, telling scenes of past memories.

"So, do you plan to live in that tower in the future?" After a moment of silence, Thorn threw away the maple leaf, met Anderina's eyes as clear as autumn water, and also had a faint smile, and asked subconsciously road.

Andelina stood quietly beside Thorn, nodded in response, then reached out to brush a few strands of messy hair behind her ears, revealing a cheek with a faint smile.

Seeing the moving smile on Anderina's fair and pretty face, and the cascading black hair casually draped over her shoulders, Thorne involuntarily took a deep breath.

Immediately, a unique fragrance permeated his nostrils, making his tired body seem to recover a bit of vitality after the battle. Thorne, who noticed his gaffe, immediately looked away, regained his calm expression and said:

"That's fine. The tower is located in the deepest part of the upper city. If you live there, at least your own safety is guaranteed. As for the matter in the lower city, let's not think about it for the time being. Let Torvi and Ka Ross go worry.

However, you live there alone. Although there is a banshee with you, she is just an undead creature after all, and a living person... Well, when I have time some other day, I will go to the half-elf leader and ask him to help you. You choose a few half-elf girls who are willing to learn magic to be your apprentices and assistants. It just so happens that the wizard also left a lot of books about magic. This knowledge is easy for you to master, and it is easy to recruit a few apprentices , in short..."

As Thorne was talking, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, so he looked over curiously, only to find that the beautiful sorceress was staring at him unblinkingly, which made him feel very uncomfortable at the same time, Also a little confused.

So the two looked at each other again.

Andelina stared blankly at Thorne's puzzled and slightly clumsy face.

In all fairness, this face, which combines the blood of humans and elves, is easy to attract attention if it often wears a sunny smile, but it was ruined by this half-elf ranger, yes, it was ruined.The sorceress confirmed it again and again, firming up her inner thoughts.

Suddenly, a sly smile and a hint of experimentation appeared in Anderina's eyes.

"So...you'll be living there with me, won't you?"

Anderina's ears, hidden in her hair, were a little hot, so she calmed down her slightly fluctuating heart, took a step forward, and her voice suddenly became extremely gentle.

With this step, the distance between her face and Thorne's face was less than [-] centimeters, which seemed to be the distance between boyfriend and girlfriend or lovers.

Facing Andelina who has become so gentle and considerate, sniffing the indistinct body fragrance lingering in his nose, and feeling her a little shortness of breath, Thorn, who was caught off guard, seemed to have been cast with a second-ring spell." "Human Immobilization Technique", without even making a judgment on the will save, it was successfully cast directly, causing his whole body to stiffen and remain motionless.

etc!what is happening?
For the sudden encounter, this was the first question that came out of Thorne's heart.

After all, he has never really looked at any woman so "affectionately". When he faced the seduction spells of the Lake Spirit and the warlock from Twilight Town, he could keep a clear head and draw his sword mercilessly.

But in the face of Anderina's "activeness", this emotional idiot half-elf ranger was a little confused for a moment, his brain was flushed like a toilet, and all his thoughts were washed away... …

But when he woke up suddenly and realized that his reaction was not quite right, he realized that Anderina, the culprit just now, had already distanced himself from him. There was a slight fluctuation, as if nothing had happened, leaving him alone in the wind.

"...Let's go." After a while, Thorn, who felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, sorted out his embarrassment, glanced at her, left a word casually, turned around and left, regardless of whether the other party followed, and turned to her alone. Walk in Carlos' courtyard.

Originally, his purpose of going to the downtown area today was to meet Carlos and ask some questions, but unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Albert.

Not long after the battle between the two ended, Carlos invited him to the courtyard again, and now he was naturally going to rush over to see what the other party had to say.

Behind Thorne, when Andelina, who was originally calm, looked at Thorne's embarrassed back, the corners of her lips curled up uncontrollably, because she found that her attempt had actually succeeded.

Anderina recalled that when the two of them were in the tower, due to their own speech mistakes, they were caught off guard by this weak-hearted ranger, which almost made them lose their balance.

When she regained her senses, she realized that the other party was just trying to scare her. If she had taken the initiative in the situation at that time, Thorne would probably be the one who fled.

Today, she finally found a chance to return it to him intact, and it was very successful.

Obviously, most women hold grudges, and Andelina is a normal woman, and she is no exception. Whenever she recalls Thorne's deflated expression just now, she can't help but want to laugh out loud.

This is a somewhat innocent half-elf ranger, and Andelina once again put a small label on Thorne in her heart.

Then she followed Thorne's figure with light steps, and she seemed to be in a happier mood than ever.

……

In Carlos' courtyard.

Carlos, who was wearing a coarse robe, stood with his hands behind his back. When he looked at Thorne who was walking, there was a faint smile on his face, and beside him was a human man who was slightly behind.

"Busy man Yas, long time no see." Thorn, who led Anderina into the courtyard, first glanced at Carlos, nodded to him, and then shifted his gaze to the human man behind Carlos, stretched out The right hand greeted calmly.

"It's been a long time, Thorn." Yas took a step forward, gently held Thorn's right hand, and patted Thorn's shoulder again, with a faint smile on his resolute face: " The time is long, the world is changing, in just half a year, it seems like a lifetime, you have become almost unrecognizable to me."

The moment their palms touched, a light orange light appeared in the palms of the two at the same time. As Thorn and Yas separated their palms, the light orange flame light disappeared again.

"Curse Swordsman." Thorne withdrew his right hand and said calmly.

Curse Swordsman is an advanced profession that combines magic power and weapon fighting skills. While learning spells, they will also constantly exercise their fighting abilities. Gradually, Cursed Swordsmen learned how to wear Armor casts spells.

And they also mastered how to use the sharp blade in their hands to guide spells and store prepared spells to attack the enemy.

Therefore, if you want to successfully advance to Curse Swordsman, you must first have the ability to cast spells.

Among the player groups, a wizard is a profession that relies on a huge knowledge reserve to master and learn spells. Its inauguration difficulty belongs to hell level, and this is a profession that needs time to settle.

Then, it is obvious that the Cursed Swordsman Yas, who originally only had a fighter class, must have worked as a spellcasting class warlock part-time, and he succeeded in advancing.

Thorn still knew a little about Yas.

In the real world, he was Carlos' personal bodyguard. After changing to this world, this identity has not changed, and he is still loyal to Carlos.

In the lower part of Pushang Town, there are two factions. They are the people who live on the east bank of the Emerald River headed by Carlos and the people who live on the west bank of the Emerald River headed by Torvi.

These two forces have been able to develop here so far, naturally they have their unique features.

They also understand the changes brought about by a strong individual combat power, so they all have a few outstanding professionals who have been cultivated by devoting resources.

Among Torvi's forces, the two most representative people are Chris, who advanced from a rogue and a warlock to a trickster, and Albert, who advanced from a priest and a barbarian to a storm lord.

As for Carlos, before Thorne left, Yas, his personal bodyguard, was just a single professional fighter. Relying on sharp weapons and rich combat skills, his strength was very good. The player group in Waterfall Town Among them, only Storm Lord Albert can stabilize one end.

There is another person, her occupation is also a warlock, and Carlos is a husband and wife relationship in the real world, and of course it is the same in this world.

Carlos once mentioned to Thorn accidentally that this female sorceress was also planning to advance to a dragon vein warlock, and then temporarily shelved this plan for other reasons. As for what is going on now, it is unknown.

Now, Pushang Town has opened up a trade route leading to Sept City, causing the people here to start to collapse. Many people are planning to stay away from this war-torn Pushang Town and go to a relatively stable place in order to survive. Live within the sphere of influence of Sput City.

In the current Upper Falls Town, the half-elves in the upper city and the lower city have drawn a clear line. In the face of the invasion of humanoid creatures, they do not support a bow or an arrow. struggling to support.

If there is no fresh blood in Pushang Town, and when their men are exhausted, then the lower city of Pushang Town will exist in name only.

This is also the fundamental reason why Pushang Town is so chaotic. Therefore, in order for Pushang Town to develop again, some effective countermeasures must be implemented to bring the scattered hearts together again.

As for how to implement it, Thorne, a ranger who likes to fight, definitely can't think of it, and he still needs to rely on the two ghost lords.

However, Thorne was quite surprised that Yas could advance to become a Cursed Swordsman. Originally, he thought that with Yas' strength, he would definitely choose an advanced profession mainly based on physics.

Unexpectedly, the curse swordsman chosen by the opponent, who combines physical attacks and spells, is very similar to his kendoist characteristics, but I don't know if he has the ability to compete with the storm lord.

"I'm laughing at you. It's still too far behind you. After all, even that lunatic Albert was trampled under by you, so I won't make fun of myself."

Yas smiled, and said very self-effacingly: "So, I'm actually curious, what kind of profession does your ability to cast fire and shadow energy at the same time belong to?"

"This is a kind of inheritance from the continent of Karatu." Thorn gave an ambiguous answer.

Even among the original residents, few people know about the Nine Swords system, let alone players like them. Thorne believes that even if he explains it in detail, the other party will be confused. It's better not to say it.

This is also the main reason why when the warlock lord in Stallman Town called him the inheritor of the Nine Swords, he always felt that the other party had something ulterior motives.

However, Carlos' performance was completely beyond Thorn's expectations. He thought for a moment and guessed it directly: "If I guess correctly, what you have mastered should be the inheritance of the Nine Swords."

After Carlos finished speaking, he noticed Thorne's gaze, so he smiled again, and said with some regret: "In Zhanzheng College, I have seen records about one of the nine swords, the white crow swordsmanship, but this kind of swordsmanship belongs to The top secret of the academy, no one can read it, it can be regarded as the biggest regret in my life."

The dogma of the white crow swordsmanship emphasizes that the power of collective combat is far greater than individual battles. Those who practice this swordsmanship are inspiring leaders on the battlefield. For Carlos, who has an advanced professional war lord, it is naturally desirable.

There is actually a record about the white crow swordsmanship in Zhanzheng College.

Thorne was slightly startled. As an inheritor of the Nine Swords, he naturally knew the news about the Nine Swords. In fact, the Master of the Nine Swords is not the only advanced profession in the Nine Swords system, and there are many other advanced professions .

Perhaps news about the Karatu continent can be found in the Zhanzheng College. Thorne suppressed the slight ups and downs in his heart, and deeply remembered the Zhanzheng College in his heart.

"Inheritance of the Nine Swords, it seems that this is your biggest gain in the past six months." After Carlos finished speaking, Yas, who half understood, continued to sigh with emotion.

"Yas, what you said is wrong, and it's outrageously wrong." As soon as Yas finished speaking, Carlos accused Yas, smiled slightly, and glanced at Andrina, meaning Said deeply:
"Your vision is too shallow. You deserve to be single for the rest of your life. I think this beautiful lady in front of me is the biggest achievement for our Thorne Brothers. Why, why don't you introduce it to us?"

"..." Sensing Carlos' mocking eyes, Thorne looked embarrassed, and then he pretended to calmly point to Anderina beside him and introduced: "This is Andrea from Winter City Na, is a warlock."

Listening to Thorne's brief introduction, Andrina, who was standing beside him, recalled Thorne's embarrassing expression just now. Her eyes flickered, she gently hugged Thorne's arm, leaned slightly, and then He nodded to the two of them.

Carlos noticed the subtle changes in Thorne's face, and suppressed a smile and said, "Let's go, let's go to the room to discuss in detail."

Seeing Carlos and Yas walking towards the stone house first, Thorn signaled Andrina to let go of his arms with his eyes, but he was stared back by the proud eyes of the other party.

"This Carlos is not as simple as you imagined. You'd better be careful when you come into contact with him in the future." Seeing Thorn's helpless expression of shrugging his shoulders, Andelina smiled, then lowered her voice and whispered to Thorn.

"Do you know him?" Thorne was taken aback, and asked in doubt as he approached him.

As for the two lords in Fallstown, the Carlos in front of him was the one he had the most contact with. He felt mysterious and unpredictable.

On the contrary, Torvi on the west bank of the Emerald River made it easier for him to deal with it.

Fortunately, he didn't detect any bad intentions in these two lords. Their common goal seemed to be the development of Waterfall Town.

"I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing the bodyguard next to him, I confirmed that it was correct. I have seen it a few times in the real world." Anderina thought for a while and said: "You don't know what to say about some things. Understand, in short, you just listen to me, I will not harm you."

"I see." Thorn nodded half-understood, said nothing, and walked into the stone house with Anderina.
