Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 205
The Harper League is a representative organization of good forces, and their core concept is: "Overthrow tyranny and make all beings equal."

The main duty is to fight against the dark conspiracies of the evil ones, maintain world peace, stifle sources of danger, eliminate threats to good things, and manipulate the affairs of civilized races in order to protect their balanced minds.

At the same time, there are often secret aids to adventurers and other groups who promote good ideas. These aids usually include: a kind innkeeper in an evil town, a traveling priest who suddenly appears when an adventuring party is hurt, Or a surprise attack against a common opponent.

So many people also call them 'nosy people', and this evaluation is largely correct, because many times they can be successful in a way that includes: cheating, misleading, and acting covertly without open conflict. , is the so-called doing bad things with good intentions, they are typical representatives of chaotic kindness, very similar to those knights who like to steal from the rich and give to the poor.

They fight against evil in ways that may seem insignificant or even outrageous to outsiders. Although some people in the good camp find it hard to understand, they enjoy it because they never ask for anything in return.

The main members of the Harper are elves, rangers or bards, as well as those so-called solitary travelers, lonely travelers with special abilities, and wild people with outstanding abilities.

Although the harpist's duties are full of dangers, there is one thing Thorne admires more. They are all brave people who confront terrible dangers with courage and strength. safety, honor and disgrace.

Moreover, the tightness of this organization is the vanguard of the existing order of the entire continent, with a large number of safe houses and agents, who usually travel across the world alone or in small groups to carry out secret operations.

They live in all corners of the world in a hidden way. They may be an elf warrior wearing full body armor, or a poor human ranger wearing leather armor, or a wanderer shrouded in shadows, a barmaid in a bar, a beggar on the street beggars and so on.

They maintain their lofty and lofty ideals in their own unique way of life, even though it seems out of reach.

In the druid order of the good camp in the northern wilderness, they often form an alliance with the harpers because of the same goal, and the harpers who act alone sometimes seek help from a certain order due to lack of manpower.

Thorne once met a harpist ranger from the northern wilderness in the Temple of Melikai who was going to the Great Swordscar Mountains. He led the harpist ranger to Fallstown and provided him with several Before leaving, the other party also taught him a set of special marks used for communication between rangers.

However, not all druid orders welcome their arrival. Emerald Court is the most typical representative. They think that these 'nosy' Harper Alliance are almost as threatening as the evil they fight against. with natural balance.

The two harper members in front of them were obviously discovered by the Nightingale Walker in the Emerald Garden, and then restricted their actions.

"That's right, we are members of the Harpers from the Southern Kingdom of Culin's Port, and we have come to the Emerald Fields to handle an important matter related to the security of the mainland." Noticing Thorne's surprised expression, the wizard Alanis said with a smile.

Important matters related to the security of the mainland?
"Then I wish you success as soon as possible." Thorn blinked his eyes and blessed them.

"Don't be so indifferent, vigilant ranger, the Nightingale Walker in the Emerald Garden is always watching our actions, and the high priest of the Melikai Temple was also solemnly warned by her, so you are our only hope, after all, you are not People who belong to the temple completely, no one can restrict your actions."

The wizard Alanis noticed Thorne's expression of clearly intending to distance himself, and said with a helpless smile.

"This is an important matter related to the security of the mainland. I'm really sorry. I can't even guarantee that I can protect even a waterfall town, let alone this lofty ideal of saving the world. I can't afford it, and I can't do it." No, I don't have the ability either." Thorn refused without thinking.

"Actually, you should listen to what it is before you rush to refuse. Maybe this matter is of interest to you." The wizard Alanis looked at Thorne, still maintaining a gentle smile.

"Sorry, I don't want to hear it." After Thorn finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Actually, your ranger mentor is also a Harper member, and this task should belong to him." Seeing Thorne turn and leave without hesitation, the female assassin Irene sighed slightly and said slowly.

As soon as the words were finished, Thorne paused in the steps he stepped out, and then took them back. At the same time, the half-elf girl looked at her aunt with a puzzled expression, obviously ignorant of these things.

"Tell me what it is first, and then I will consider whether to agree." Thorn turned around, his expression relaxed.

"Have you ever been to Twin Towers Town?" The wizard Alanis smiled at the female assassin Irene, gave her a thumbs up secretly, and said with a straight face in the other's disdainful eyes.

"I've never been there." Thorne said truthfully, Shuangta Town is only [-] kilometers away from Pushang Town, separated by Tranquil Forest, but before the opening of the trade route, there were many humanoid creatures entrenched.

"Twin Towers Town got its name because it has two wizard towers. 50 years ago, an ogre tribe called Blood Blade brutally launched an attack from the Barren Skull Mountain Range and swept across the entire town. They plundered Twin Towers Town. After a fire razed it to the ground and then spread disaster to other areas, the town of Twin Towers has struggled to rebuild in the decades since."

"Why can a town with two wizard towers be attacked by ogres and fall?" Thorne interrupted the other party's words, expressing his inner doubts.

"One of the towers, the Tower of the Dead, was in ruins before the fall of Twin Towers, an empty husk overrun with rats and birds.

The other Tower of the Seven Sages was the residence of the Wizards Alliance in Twin Towers Town in the years before the Blood Blade War, a union composed of about a dozen extraordinary wizards, although the enchantment of the tower blocked the ogres However, the owner of the tower fled to a safe place during the battle to defend the town. "

"Could it be that your mission is related to these two towers?" Thorne thought for a while and guessed.

"That's right." Wizard Alanis nodded, and continued: "Our mission this time is mainly for the half-ruined tower of the dead, because some nobles have deep connections and are not easy to be executed or tortured, so this The tower used to be a prison for confining nobles. It is said that a princess who was suspected of worshiping demons died and turned into a ghost in the tower. Therefore, I suspect that there is an unknown underground passage at the bottom of the tower. I would like to ask you to go and investigate. "

"It's just a legend and suspicion, but you came here all the way from Culin Port through the Sea of ​​Glory?" Thorne complained after listening to the narrator Alanis, he really deserved to be a harpist.

"There is nothing to hide, because I am the wizard in the Tower of the Seven Sages, a former fugitive." The wizard Alanis said, looking at Thorn with a smile.

"Then you mean to completely remove the hidden dangers of the Tower of the Dead? It's been so many years, and you're so sure that it has always existed." No wonder, Thorne glanced at him and asked subconsciously.

It's just a hidden danger of an abandoned tower. It's so grand that it even involves the safety of the mainland.

"Things related to devil worshipers can be big or small, so I can't be careless. This is also the reason for my worry. Although Shuangta Town looks peaceful now and is about to restore the prosperity before the Blood Blade War, this hidden danger has always been It is hidden deep in the bottom of the tower, of course it is better to solve it as soon as possible." Wizard Alanis looked a little serious.

"Since it's about demon believers, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. I'm just a low-level ranger. How could I be able to deal with the immortal evil from the bottomless abyss? I hope you can understand, Mister Wizard." Suo En shook his head slightly and refused.

Because his ranger mentor is also a member of the hidden Harpist, so for his sake, he patiently listened to the other party's narration, but it doesn't mean that he will definitely choose to agree.

Besides, since the other party is entrusted to do things, and he doesn't even mention a task reward, let him work for nothing, how is it possible, are you familiar with it?Could it be that he had the cheek to open his mouth to ask for a reward?

"You young people." Seeing Thorne's expression of direct refusal, the wizard Alanis seemed to see something, he laughed, and sighed deeply, looking into the depths of the jungle path, slowly said:
"The current world has really changed. In the era I lived in, adventurers in the wilderness didn't have the smell of copper, they only smelled like bandages. They didn't hesitate at all, and they did it immediately when they received the task, very efficient.

Nowadays, I have met many adventurers with strange behaviors in Culin Port, it is difficult to reach an agreement with them, hire them to kill some monsters, they will not immediately raise their swords to kill monsters, but first ask what the task reward is , Some people have to weigh whether it is reasonable or not, some people have to consider whether the killing conflicts with his moral principles, some people have to worry about whether this mission is worthwhile, and some people even complain about a mission Not enough to fix an outfit, and you're clearly a lot like them, a bunch of adventurers with more concerns than fleas on a fox fur coat. "

This should be about their players, Thorne's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help guessing inwardly.

"You have to understand that this is a free world, and everyone has the right to choose to nod or shake their heads, Mister Wizard from Culin Port." Thorne said calmly.

"Okay, Alanis, don't tease this cute half-elf ranger." The female assassin Irene, who looked a little impatient, didn't want to listen anymore, and directly interrupted the wizard Alanis who was about to argue.

"Thorn, take off the composite longbow behind you." The female assassin Irene took the half-elf girl Lilia to Thorne, feeling the puzzled look in his eyes, and explained to him: "This is my My brother's relic, as his sister and someone who participated in the production process, I have the right to take it back."

Although the other party's tone was very light, Thorn heard an unquestionable meaning. He was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and chose to take it off and hand it to the other party.

This is just a weapon with relatively good material, which can reach the high quality. Originally, he planned to replace it with a relatively better one, but due to financial constraints, he was unable to do so.

Now, the natural transformation ceremony has been completed, and the long sword on his waist has already been modified in Stallman Town, and he accidentally got [-] gold coins for exploring the high tower in the upper city, and he has recently begun to consider changing weapons.

It's just that this composite longbow has a special meaning, which made him hesitant, not knowing what to do with it after it was replaced, and now that it's returned to its original owner, his wish has been fulfilled.

When Thorne handed the composite longbow to the female assassin, he noticed the concerned light blue eyes of the half-elf girl, so he smiled at her, indicating that it was all right.

"I haven't been back to the town of Waterfall for decades. I didn't expect that everything has changed. I just want to hold this item that I have shared memories with my brother. I hope you can understand, lovely half-elf Ranger."

The female assassin Irene gently stroked the lines on the composite longbow, and said with a slightly sad expression.

Lovely half-elf ranger?

Being called cute by the other party again, Thorn's face twitched and wanted to argue, but he noticed the other party's sad expression, and finally his expression fluctuated, and he said slowly:

"I can understand, because everyone can't experience the pain of losing a loved one, we can only pray silently for the dead in our hearts."

"That's right, everything must look forward, the living will thrive, and the dead will rest in peace." The wizard Alanis comforted the female assassin Irene.

Then he took out a composite longbow with purple shimmering light from the dimensional bag, and threw it directly to Thorne: "This is the advance payment for you, lucky ranger, cherish it."

A trace of surprise flashed across Thorne's expression, he subconsciously reached out to take it, and immediately looked carefully at the weapon in front of him.

The compound longbow he holds in his hand is made of sorbet wood, and is inlaid with silver elf-style patterns all over. Lavender metal wires are entwined, and if you look closely, you can still see a faint arc of electricity passing by.
