Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 23 Enlightenment

Winter City, Lower City.

——"One-ring spell: greasy spell!"

go to hell!
Thorn saw the abyss ghoul who suddenly fell down due to the greasy ground in front of him, and swung his long sword violently!
puff!

The sharp long sword instantly chopped off the head of the abyssal ghoul, and the burning wound spurted out a disgusting filth!

"careful!"

At this time, the troll Trundle saw the black shadow on the roof, and immediately reminded him after his expression changed, and ran towards Thorne after speaking.

bump!
Trundle collided with the black shadow that jumped from the roof, making a dull sound, and then both sides fell to the ground.

Yeah!

Trundle quickly stood up and yelled, and rushed towards the black shadow. His arms were scarred with scarlet bloodstains because he resisted the black shadow's sharp claws. He endured the pain and took the opportunity to lock the black shadow tightly.

puff!

Seeing the abyss gnoll controlled by Trundle, Thorne swung his dark red long sword again.

A bloodstain appeared on the neck of the unavoidable Abyss Gnoll mane covered with jet-black mane, and then his head slid off, and a column of blood gushed out from his neck.

"Brother Thorne, great job!" Trundle let go of the corpse of the abyss gnoll, feeling that his wounds were recovering rapidly, and praised Thorne with a thumbs up.

Thorne turned around and looked at Trundle's slightly honest and very ugly face, returning grateful eyes.

Walking along the way, with the cooperation of Thorne and the human shield Trundle, many sahuagin and abyss ghouls were beheaded.

Now that even the Gnoll Assassin came to join in the fun, Thorne had to speed up his pace to the sewer.

At this time, Thorne's powerful intuition suddenly sensed an abnormality near the wizard Pardo who had been secretly paying attention to him.

He raised his eyebrows, and a bad premonition filled his heart.

So he rushed to Pardo immediately, pulled Pardo away, and then subconsciously swung the long sword in his hand into the air!
Ah!
Sure enough, Thorne felt the touch of the long sword in his hand piercing into the flesh and a piercing scream!

Will saving throw in progress!
Will save succeeded!

You successfully saved against the effects of the Fear spell!
Fear doesn't work on you!
It turned out to be a Quasaimo. Seeing the small green figure in front of him, Thorn's eyes turned cold, and the long sword slashed a cold light again, and his body turned into a pile of pus in the Quasaimo's scream.

Quasai demons have the ability to cast invisibility at will. What they like to do most is to hide their bodies and use the toxin attached to their tails to sting attacks from behind. If the toxins on their tails fail the save, they will fall into a coma.

When discovered, he immediately appeared and used the panic technique to drive away or escape.

However, because Thorn has the will attribute added to the background specialty of bloody challenger, a mere quasimo can't form an effective suppression ability against him.

"Thank you...thank you." Pardo, who understood what was going on, thanked Thorne.

Thorne looked at Pardoin's lifeless expression after losing his relatives, and he was a little helpless. After all, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child.

So after thinking for a while, he said to Pardo: "Thank you if you want to thank yourself!"

"The reason why I saved you is because of your identity as a wizard. After all, wizards are a group of spellcasters who are powerful enough to fight against the gods, not cowards like you!"

"Hurry up and cheer up. Only by surviving in this world will you live up to your uncle's desperate rescue, and you will be qualified to think about other things. Don't you desire to become stronger?" Thorn pointed out after finishing speaking. He pointed to the wizard tower in the distance.

Then Thorne patted the other person on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Live on, become stronger slowly, and then go to explore the secrets of this world!"

In the world of Toril, this kind of wizard who grows stronger by accumulating knowledge has the highest growth potential among all spellcasting professions.

It's a pity that when Thorne created the character, the intelligence attribute scanned told him that he had no fate with the wizard.

Although the growth potential is the highest, the opening is hell-level difficulty, which is completely persuasion mode.

For example, a level 0 trick's spell model, magic guidance, energy overview, spellcasting skills, etc., took at least 20 pages to record, and all had to be memorized, understood, and mastered.

Don't make trouble, most players use their spare time to play games for leisure and relaxation. Isn't he a good melee professional?
This mode of persuasion has led to the fact that two years have passed, and the only wizard player Thorne has seen is Pardo in front of him.

A wizard player who can persist in successfully becoming a wizard and has mastered many first-level spells has to impress Thorne.

Upgrade this ability with the player's attribute panel and available experience, and then cooperate with the powerful spellcaster profession of wizard.

The future is limitless, of course, the premise is that there is no death in the middle.

This is why Thorne has been secretly paying attention to Pardo. The destination of his trip is Fallstown in the north, which is the territory established by the players.

But the life of the players there is not easy, goblins, kobolds, jackals, ogres, lizardmen and other intelligent races in the wilderness are challenges they face all the time.

There used to be nearly [-] players gathered in Pushang Town. When he left half a year ago, only about half of them were left. It was so cruel.

If you want to gain a firm foothold there, you must have strong strength to completely subdue these evil intelligent races, but it turns out that they do not have this ability and background.

It is recognized by everyone that a powerful high-level wizard has the ability to instantly change the situation of a battle, so Thorne intends to try to win over this wizard named Pardo.

Pardo looked at the wizard tower in the night in a daze. Isn't this exactly his dream of choosing the profession of wizard?

His greatest wish is to drive his own floating city to travel in every corner of the multiverse. Although the dream is far from reality, at least it is the reason why he persists.

Then his bewildered eyes gradually brightened.

live!Then slowly become stronger!

"Thank you, Thorne!" Pardo's eyes returned to the former look, and he said to Thorne solemnly.

Seeing that Pardo regained his energy, Thorne smiled at him and walked forward.

"That's not your style." Andrina said in surprise when she saw Thorne passing by her.

"That's because they all...Damn it!" Thorne paused, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and slowly spit out these words.

Andelina felt the murderous intent contained in Thorne's words, looked at Thorne's figure, and fell into deep thought.

"You guys wait here for a moment, I'll be right back." Thorn looked around vigilantly, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no danger for the time being, he turned and said to the people behind him.

After finishing speaking, under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he immediately got into a stone house next to him.

"You're here..." As soon as Thorn stepped into the courtyard, an old voice came into his ears strangely.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you." Thorn said slowly, looking at the old man sitting on the stone bench in a daze at the stone sculpture.

This person was the mysterious old man who taught him the inheritance of the Nine Swords. Because the entrance to the sewer was nearby, Thorn hesitated and walked in when passing by.

"It's time to say goodbye." After the old man finished speaking, he appeared in front of Thorn strangely

"The road to practice is full of ups and downs, let me give you a little gift!"

His originally stooped body suddenly became tall and straight, and then he slowly stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of Thorn's forehead.

Thorn, who didn't have time to react, sensed a strange energy surge in his head, and it disappeared quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a string of light blue data appeared on the retina.

Obtain a sword intent: Comprehension progress 0%!

Sword intent?Thorne looked at the old man with some doubts.

"You will understand in the future." The old man shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Then... goodbye!" Thorn bowed deeply to the old man, then turned and left.

Seeing Thorne's disappearing back, the old man looked up at the sky, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and whispered to himself, "The fish is hooked..."

hum!
At this time, the stone sculptures in the courtyard began to tremble slightly, and countless cracks appeared immediately.

boom!
A sharp long sword appeared in the scattered rubble.

The sword body is 1.3 meters long and three fingers wide.

As if feeling the old man's call, the long sword let out a low cry, and turned into a light and shadow, appearing in his hand.

"Steel Soul, Shadow Hand, and Desert Wind, they are not the pinnacle of martial arts, they are just the road to the peak, and I have already stood on the pinnacle!"

After the old man finished speaking, endless fighting intent burst out from his eyes, which turned into a rainbow light and disappeared.
