Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 236 The Night Watch

The upper city of Fallstown, a tall tower isolated in the snow.

"There is a great indestructible energy hidden in the books. Those who make good use of knowledge can shake the whole world. Every time they calm down and read these books, the whole person seems to be sucked into the torrent of time."

The sorceress Andelina stood quietly on the No.12 floor of the tower, looking at the silent books stacked on the table, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Books are the most precious treasure to her in this tower that has been abandoned for a hundred years. She even has the feeling that all the knowledge of this world is recorded in these books.

The knowledge in the books made her full of knowledge, filled her barren brain, and gave her a deeper understanding of the world.

Let her know the era of thunder when the glaciers melted, the oceans receded, and the dry land emerged from the water.The dawn of the battle between dragons and giants.The first prosperity of the elves, and with the five crown wars that lasted four elves centuries, it withdrew from the stage of history.

Then there is a new era of creation in the torrent of history, which also symbolizes the rise of all humanoid civilizations.In the end, with the decline of the kingdom of dwarves and elves, the dramatic rise of human beings in the whole world, such as the great arcane empire: Netheril civilization was born in that ancient era...

"But, what's the use of mastering so much knowledge?" The sorceress Andrina glanced at the obsidian statue in her palm, and turned her silent gaze to a portal made of various rare materials in the corner .

This is the legacy left by the high-level wizard Evandel, and the magic of the portal can last forever.Usually after the production is completed, it will operate normally for hundreds or even thousands of years, until it is destroyed in the torrent of history.

Fortunately for her, this is a well-preserved teleportation array. Although she is not enough to fully control it, short-distance safe teleportation can still be easily completed. Besides herself, there is also that person who can freely use this teleportation array. Ranger...

Suddenly, the sorceress stared at the portal in a daze and found a light on it, followed by a black shadow in it. Seeing the black shadow clearly, Anderina opened her mouth in shock, unable to close it for a long time.

When she fully understood what was going on, a touching smile floated in Rushui's eyes, and a blush appeared on her cheeks covered by her hair.

In the end, she took a few steps forward, turned all the complicated feelings into a few short words, and floated out softly: "Are you back?"

Walking out of the portal, Thorne, who was reminiscing about the feeling of spinning around, suddenly heard a soft voice with a concerned tone, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, as if all the cold air eroded by the wind and snow had been dispelled.

Then he looked at the beautiful figure that often appeared in his mind not far away, smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, I'm back."

"You... have you been robbed? Why are you in such a mess?" Andrina looked at Thorn's greatly changed appearance, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After noticing his attire, she hesitated and left. Asked with concern.

"I'm practicing a kind of practice that depends on the precipitation of time." Thorne glanced at the female sorceress who came close, and explained with a smile.

Then with a thought, the "Desert Fire" specialty was activated, and the flame power of the Desert Wind faction began to surge in his body instantly, and the whole body was immediately covered with a layer of faint orange flame light, and after the snow water evaporated, The rising mist drifted away from his whole body, and in just a moment, his whole body became dry and refreshed.

"Could it be that you have taken the monk's ascetic oath or other precepts?" Anderina's eyes flickered, and she guessed with some unease.

"I'm not the kind of carefree person, so it's not suitable for me. I just imitate their usual cultivation methods." Thorne said to the sorceress while looking at the surrounding layout curiously.

"Oh." The sorceress nodded subconsciously, and the trace of inexplicable worry in her heart disappeared completely.

"Actually, I came here today to ask you to help me with something." Thorn paused and explained his purpose.

"That is to say, you won't come here if you have nothing to do, right?" Anderina looked at the obsidian sculpture in her hand, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Thorne's intention of coming, a sense of loss grew in her heart, so that The tone of the speech became a little weaker:
"I feel like a burden. You just throw it aside and leave it alone. For so long, you have never come back to see me once. You only come here when you need my help."

"Look at what you said, you are a living person with self-awareness and the autonomy to decide everything by yourself, and I can't interfere with you, so how could it be my burden? You are not studying the profession of arcanist now, I It's not because you're afraid of disturbing your work." Thorne noticed the change in the other party's tone, and quickly explained:
"Besides, before I left, I also asked the half-elf leader to arrange for you a few half-elf apprentices who want to learn magic. You have also said that you like this tower very much. With your ability, it should be easy to adapt to it. Yes, don't you see that you are having a good time?"

"Then I've changed my mind now. I suddenly don't like this place, and I don't plan to settle down here. I want to move to another place and disappear before your eyes, so you never have to worry about disturbing me, okay?"

After listening to Thorne's explanation, the sorceress felt wronged and irritable for no reason, and her tone of voice involuntarily raised a bit.

"Uh... alright, why are you like this?" Thorn froze for a moment, looking at the sorcerer's pretty face, a little at a loss, he really didn't understand how he had offended the other party, obviously just now. Laughing.

Suddenly, the banshee elf girl and the little devil Simba appeared at the door, and then Simba looked at Thorne and said viciously: "The master is right, this dead-faced half-elf is too hateful, too despicable and shameless, I don't want to see his stinky face for a long time, let's stay away from him quickly, so as not to be disgusting."

"How can you say that about him? I think he's pretty good, and he gave me a lot of my favorite soul crystals last time." The elf girl looked at Thorn and poked the little devil's face with her finger. Back, said timidly.

"Shut up!" The little devil glared at the elf girl, and continued: "Hey, half-stupid, half-elf, you have offended my most beautiful master, why don't you hurry up and apologize to her, or wait for my master It will disappear before your eyes forever, and you will regret it in the future, why are you still standing there like a lump of wood, act quickly, there is really no cure..."

"..." Depressed, Thorne secretly glanced at the sorceress who was still stern-faced, then at the little devil floating at the door who kept shouting, and finally settled on the elf girl.

As if sensing Thorne's gaze, the pure elf girl glanced at the arrogant little devil, and said again:
"Sister, didn't you say that this tower is your favorite place to stay, it's so nice, why are you leaving again? Besides, Simba said you were angry, but I clearly saw that you were laughing."

"Push!"

As soon as the elf girl finished speaking, the sorceress Anderina couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then he glanced at Thorne with a bit of resentment and anger, and sighed helplessly.

With a thought, through the telepathy between the magic pet and the master, he signaled the little devil who was in the way to leave with the elf girl.

"Look, I'm right, you're just...you dead Simba, what are you doing pulling my clothes?" The innocent elf girl was interrupted, looking at the girl standing on her shoulder with her pale red eyes. The little devil muttered in dissatisfaction.

"The weather is really nice today, I'll take you out to play." The little devil said with a laugh.

"It's going to be dark soon, and it's still snowing. I won't go, I want to stay here and read a book." The elf girl motioned the other party to look out the window.

"Then I'll take you to build a snowman." The embarrassed little devil quickly changed his mind.

"How can you make a snowman at night, you must be sick." The innocent elf girl looked at the little devil like an idiot.

"Well, don't you like hugging bunny the most? I will turn into a bunny, and you can choose any color you want." Simba, flapping his little wings, gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind for something unspeakable. Decide.

"Really?" Hearing this, the elf girl's pale red eyes flashed, and a trace of excitement appeared on her pale pretty face.

"What are you lying to, come with me quickly." Noticing the other party's eyes, the little devil bit the bullet and flew out quickly.

"Fly slowly, I can't catch up." The elf girl immediately chased after her.

……

Noticing the disappearing figure at the door, Thorn glanced at the sorceress who turned her head to one side and folded her hands on her chest, hesitated for a moment, walked up to him, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Okay, don't be angry I'm a bit confused about which sentence offended you."

"..." Looking at the ranger who was a little at a loss in front of her, the resentment in the sorceress' heart disappeared for no reason.

Then looking at his embarrassing face, his beautiful eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "If you don't understand it, think about it carefully. Anyway, I'm very angry now, and it's still the kind that can't be coaxed. You can watch it yourself."

"You are obviously smiling, how can you say you are angry..." Thorne looked at the smiling face of the other party.

"Anyone who is angry with you must cry, lose his temper and throw things. I am a special person, different from other people." Andrina handed Thorne a beautiful roll of eyes: "So, you If you want to ask me to help you, let me feel better first."

"I think you're in a very good mood right now." Thorne muttered in a low voice, avoiding the half-smiling eyes of the other party.

Standing on the spot and thinking for a while, he took out the string of necklaces from the underground tunnel in Shuangta Town from the dimensional bag and handed it over: "This is something I got by accident in the ruins. I will give it to you as if it were just now. I apologize for the gaffe.”

After all, the cost of the natural transformation ceremony in the Temple of Melikai was all paid by the other party, and, from the politeness of the High Priest of Rausian, it can be seen that the amount of money is only a lot.

"Are you kidding me? A string of necklaces wants to send me away and deceive me as an ignorant girl? What kind of things have I never seen before?"

Anderina sneered disdainfully, but her hand involuntarily took it, and then threw an obsidian sculpture that she had held in her hand for a long time into Thorn's hand, and happily studied the necklace.

Thorn glanced at the heavy obsidian sculpture in his hand suspiciously, and found that it was a model of a sub-dragon creature, Fulong Beast. With a move in his heart, a series of data that surprised him emerged:
Crouching Dragon Beast lv7 (experience value: 0/80000)

medium dragon creature
属性：力量18、敏捷17、体质19、智力7、感知12、魅力9
Special Abilities: Darkvision, immunity to sleep and paralysis effects, keen sense of smell, spell resistance, telepathy, poison, green dragon's blood (weak)

(Note: This is a subdragon creature that has been baptized by the blood of an adult green dragon. It is the animal companion of the legendary druid Nightingale Walker when he travels the continent.)
……

"It turned out to be a crouching dragon beast with the blood of a green dragon. How did she get it?" Thorne gently stroked the icy obsidian sculpture in his hand, with a look of shock on his face.

"How about it, do you like it?" Andrina noticed Thorne's expression, walked up to him and said with a smile.

"You're not angry anymore?" Thorn looked back at her and said.

"It's really unexpected to be able to dig something out of your hand. Forget it, I won't argue with you today." Andrina glared at Thorn and said angrily.

"How did you get this Fulong Beast sculpture?" Thorne secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then expressed his doubts.

"One night, a mysterious half-elf druid suddenly broke into my tower and asked me about the clairvoyant. Then I told her all the information I got from the mad wizard's library." Anderina thought for a while, and added:
"After finishing everything, the mysterious druid said to himself, 'He will come here again', gave me this sculpture as a thank you gift, and disappeared. The druid called himself: Nightingale Walker."

"It turned out to be her." Thorne showed a look of surprise, and then sincerely thanked Anderina beside him: "Thank you very much, I like this Volcano sculpture very much."

Ranger's animal companion finally found its place, but what he didn't expect was that the way of obtaining it was so dramatic, Thorne sighed involuntarily.

Even if he is an idiot, he can feel the heavy heart that the other party can give him such a precious gift casually.

"Don't be so anxious to thank me. You should take a look at what this necklace is, and then consider whether you want to give it to me." Anderina threw the necklace to the dazed Thorne, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be able to get Such a precious thing."

Thorne looked at her suspiciously, and subconsciously began to check:
sad fairy tale

Type: ancient jewelry

Primary Passing Ceremony: (inactive)
Intermediate Ancient Ceremony: (Not activated)
Advanced Ceremony of Passing on the Ancients: (Inactive)
[Note: This is a token of love that the producer Winster spent his whole life making for his beloved, but it is a pity that it has never been sent out.If you want to activate the ancient ritual, you need to comprehend its meaning by yourself. 】

Pass down ancient equipment!

Looking at the four clearly visible characters in the attribute column, Thorn's expression moved.

The so-called "ancient equipment" means having a complete inheritance, but if you want to activate the ancient rituals and obtain the ability of equipment, you must master the corresponding activation method.

Moreover, the most important thing is that if all the low, middle, and high-level ancient rituals of a piece of ancient equipment are activated, it can gradually develop new abilities along with the growth of the character level. Gear for a lifetime.

Although he has mastered the ancient weapon making method of making Nine Swords, he has been limited by his economic ability, which has made it impossible to continue.

"This is ancient equipment. It's too late to regret it now." Anderina looked at the dazed Thorne, and reminded her in a teasing tone as she walked up to him.

"There is no reason to take back what is sent." Thorn grabbed Anderina's wrist and put the necklace directly into her palm, and said with a smile: "It already belongs to you. As for how to activate the ancient ceremony, Then it’s up to you to figure it out.”

"You really don't regret it?" Andrina said with a smile on her face, blinking her beautiful eyes at Thorn.

"You can accept it with peace of mind." Thorne said, looking away from the sorceress.

"Then help me put it on." Andrina stood in front of Thorn, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she said to him.

"You don't know..." Before he could finish his words, Thorne quickly took the necklace, and hurriedly changed his words: "Okay, turn around."

Looking at the back of the female sorceress, Thorne hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs, gently brushed away the loose black hair of the other party with his fingertips, and then slowly put it on.

"Does it look good?" Anderina turned around, with a moving smile in her watery eyes, looking at Thorne and whispering.

"En." Thorne nodded subconsciously.

"What does en mean, is it good-looking or not good-looking?" Anderina frowned displeasedly, and somewhat helplessly stopped the other party's words: "Forget it, there are no words of praise coming out of your mouth, That's too hard for you."

"Didn't you say that you need my help? Now you can say it." Suddenly, Anderina remembered something, so she asked again.

"Oh, you made such a fuss, I almost forgot about it." As soon as Thorn regained his senses, he immediately remembered the purpose of coming here.

"You mean to say that I've been 'making trouble for no reason'?" The sorceress Anderina stared at the ranger's eyes with unkind eyes, and said every word.

"..." Thorne froze in mid-air when he took out something.

…………

The topmost floor of the tower fell into an eerie silence, only the sound of the female sorceress Andrina flipping through the books and drawing mysterious runes on the blank paper.

It went on like this for about two hours.

"Okay, I know what this is." Andrina wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at the small bottle in her hand, and said to Thorne who was sitting beside her:

"There should be some kind of spell sealed in this bottle. To unlock the seal on the cork, you need the same soul energy as the caster. I feel that this soul energy should be the unique soul of our players, so This drift bottle should be specially reserved for us."

"You tell me how to open it, and I'll open it." Thorne snatched the small bottle from Anderina's hand and said to her solemnly.

This mysterious vial was accidentally caught by the bard Geert in the river deep in the Temple of Melikai.

The only thing that surprised him was that it was reserved for their player group, which made him wonder if there were any secrets or deadly threats hidden in it, so he didn't want innocent female sorceresses to take risks.

"I'll teach you a spell, and then I'll drip my own blood on the cork." Andrina glanced at Thorne and understood Thorne's intentions and determination, so she no longer tried to dissuade him, but chose to tell the truth.

"You hide aside first." Thorn reminded her solemnly.

"Then be careful." Andrina immediately blessed Thorn with several protective barriers in succession, keeping a distance from him.

Then Thorn's expression froze, and he chanted a mysterious spell from the Arcane Empire period, squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertips and wiped it on the cork. Noticing the changed vial, he immediately twisted the cork.

"boom!"

The moment Thorne opened the cork, a deafening roar of thunder filled the entire space, as if the entire tower was trembling slightly.

"boom!"

Thorn, who suffered a frontal impact, was directly lifted off his entire body, slammed into the wall of the tower, and fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Anderina exclaimed, and immediately ran over to help him up.

"It's okay." Thorne endured the pain that seemed to be falling apart all over his body, and looked at the small bottle on the table with solemn eyes.

Suddenly, under the suspicious eyes of the two, a wisp of thin smoke emerged from the small bottle.

"The identity has been confirmed, there is no abnormality!"

With a voice full of vicissitudes, the indifferent smoke formed an image of a gray-haired grandfather:
Hello, lonely visitor from another world.

When you open the cork, it means that the first step of our god-making plan has been successful.

For no other purpose, I put a total of 1 of these drifting bottles into the entire multiverse.

I just want to tell you some facts, and I want to sincerely apologize to those discoverers, and hope you can understand our approach.

That's right, coming to this world, everything is not an accident.

If you have any questions, you can go to the Guardian Church in Sigil City to find me. I will give you a satisfactory answer and tell you everything you want to know.

Of course, the premise is that you can survive.

I am a Godslayer, also known as: Time and Space Insight, and I like to call myself: Night Watchman.

Goodbye, I hope you can live tenaciously!

……

"Fuck your apology! I don't accept this apology!"

The moment the picture disappeared, Thorne, whose face became a little distorted, roared angrily, suddenly got up and picked up the drift bottle on the table, and threw it to the ground with all his strength, accompanied by a 'bang' , into pieces.
