Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 251 Preparation of Ancient Weapons

Thick dark clouds floated under the gray sky, groups of ferocious vultures flew quietly from behind the jagged clouds, hovered in the low sky, and let out bursts of high-pitched and ear-piercing screams.Immediately afterwards, it spread its wide wings and swooped down, landing on the broken corpse to feast on.

Thorne, wearing a black cloak, dragged his slightly tired body, stepped on the blood-stained ground, walked slowly to the city wall, and looked into the distance.

At this time, the battlefield below the city wall was like a hell on earth, the air was filled with a disgusting bloody smell as the breeze blew, and the diffuse gunpowder smoke was drifting away. Under the burning flames, all kinds of siege equipment reflected the sky a blood red.

Fallstown's first encounter with the hobgoblin Hruk finally ended in victory, and whatever glory the war may bring, it will surely leave wounds in the end.

After a short rest, the soldiers have begun to clean the battlefield.

As a Horuk hobgoblin tribe with a complete ethnic group, their spoils are undoubtedly very impressive.

Refined long swords, standard full body armor, light and heavy military crossbows, and various military weapons, for the people of Waterfall Town and Bugle Town, they will become the deadliest weapons of war again as long as they are slightly repaired.

After all, mineral resources are the most scarce thing in Pushang Town. Although the entire emerald field is rich in natural resources, but there is no strength to mine it, so saying anything is superfluous.

If you want to mine the minerals in the Emerald Field, you must first have the ability to hold on to the place, otherwise what awaits you will be various humanoid creatures constantly attacking the mining area.

With the strength of Pushang Town, it is very difficult to expand the territory, and what ability is there to mine resources outside the territory.Otherwise, the lords in the lower city wouldn't have set their sights on the land in the upper city in a hurry.

After all, if you want to grow and develop, you will never be able to do without land and resources.

The hobgoblins of Hruk once served in the golem factory in the Black Pearl Forest. With hundreds of years of history, they have the most complete inheritance.

For the past few days, he has been living in the Forest of Tranquility to cause trouble for the hobgoblin tribe entrenched there.But as he got deeper into the center of the hobgoblin tribe, he became more startled by what he observed, and at the same time understood why these Hruk hobgoblins had the capital to attack Winter City.

In the core area of ​​the hobgoblin tribe, groups of cows and horses would pull the mined ore to the smelter every day, and the sound of banging in the blacksmith shop was endless day and night.

Various brand-new buildings have sprung up one after another, such as colleges for cultivating hobgoblin sacrifices, temples of goblin-like patron saints, farms for domesticating wild animals, animal skin processing factories, training grounds, tailoring workshops, and so on.

Thorne even saw a few crude clay golems. Obviously, they must have mastered the method of constructing golems, but due to other reasons, mass production cannot be carried out for the time being.

Moreover, it was only a legion of Hruk hobgoblins who attacked Fallshang Town today. Apart from the slaves and beasts, there were more than 1000 hobgoblin fighters.

In the vast Tranquil Forest, he had seen at least three of this large-scale legion.

In other words, there is still a long way to go for Pushang Town to truly gain a foothold in the Emerald Field. The first problem that needs to be solved is the hobgoblin of Heruk in the Forest of Tranquility.

But in the current Waterfall Town, there are nearly a thousand players and about two hundred half-elf original residents. It is simply impossible to count on these people to resist the full-scale attack of the hobgoblin group.

Even if it is united with Bugle Town, it still makes people feel powerless.

"If you can't even solve the threat of hobgoblins, why are you talking about going to the legendary city of thousands of gates: Sigil City? What capital do you have to blame those crazy idealists for the bad results?" Thorne looked at On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

great power!
Every time his vision improves, he becomes more and more unable to restrain his eagerness for great strength.Only by gaining great strength can he help his countrymen and half-elves gain a foothold in the wilderness and protect those who are worthy of his protection.

Insight!God Killer!Guardian Church!

"Crack!"

Looking at the devastated land, Thorne suddenly recalled the culprits who caused everything, and felt a burst of anger in his heart for no reason.His left hand made a slight noise because it was clenched too tightly and too hard, and even the joints had turned white.

Suddenly, a figure walked up to him and wrapped his arms around him, followed by a voice that impressed him: "Okay, why are you suddenly angry?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly thought of some unpleasant things." Thorn calmed down his ups and downs, and said to Anderina with a smile.

"Is it because of the Guardian Church in Sigil City?" The clever female sorceress immediately guessed the reason, and she lightly leaned her body on Thorne's shoulder and smiled and comforted her:
"There's nothing to be angry about, they do theirs and we do ours, as long as the two don't interfere.

Besides, this is not a new life for us. This kind of accident gives us the opportunity to get in touch with the extraordinary power of the world, and it may even be possible to walk out of our own immortal road.So, many things have two sides. "

"That's true." Thorne nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"Lilia is a girl with a strong heart, and I had a great time chatting with her." Andrina looked at Thorne's face, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she asked curiously: "Can you tell me how the two of you are doing?" Do you know each other?"

"This..." Thorn hesitated for a moment, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "On the first day of the game server, I was randomly born near Waterfall Town, and was chased by a little goblin for a long time. The half-elf girl who was still a ranger found out and shot the goblin who was chasing me to death with an arrow. Then I successfully joined the upper part of the waterfall town as a half-elf waif."

Anderina, who thought it sounded very funny, couldn't help laughing out as if she thought of the funny scene where Thorn was being chased by the goblin.Then he continued to ask: "You chose a random place of birth at the beginning, does it mean that you are a very lonely person, and no one wants to play a game with you."

"That's right." Thorne nodded without denying it.

"Thorn, what do you want from me?" At this moment, a voice that was half a smile interrupted their chat.

Thorne and Andrina immediately turned to look in the direction of the source of the sound, and found that it was Torvi, one of the lords of the lower city.

"I have some equipment here that I need you to help me deal with, and please help me buy some materials." Noticing Torvi with a pipe in his mouth, Thorne explained what he meant: "It's not convenient here, let's go to the room to talk .”

"Buzz!"

In the dimly lit room, a ray of light flashed on Anderina's staff, and the room suddenly became like daylight.

Then Thorne directly took out three dimensional bags under the dubious gazes of the two, and with a crashing sound, Thorne poured out a large pile of excellent weapons and equipment and piled them up into a hill.

"This..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Torvi's eyeballs almost fell out of surprise, so that the pipe brought to his mouth was directly stuck on his nose. He looked at Thorne suspiciously, and subconsciously guessed. : "I said you kid must have robbed the hobgoblin's arsenal."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this hobgoblin is really rich enough. Almost all of the weapons are above the elite level. Except for the disgusting blood-red stripes painted on these full body armors, they are much stronger than those of the Banyue Chamber of Commerce. There is also this heavy military armor. Crossbow..." Tolvi couldn't put it down, picking from the pile of weapons, and said with emotion.

"Did you really rob the hobgoblin weapon arsenal?" Anderina, who was beside Thorne, couldn't help asking when she saw this shocking scene.

"Otherwise, the hobgoblins wouldn't hate me so much, but the reason why they were able to rob me was mainly because they didn't expect someone to do this. Now they are very heavily guarded against weapons and equipment, and it is impossible to sneak in Already." Thorne explained to the two with a smile.

"Are you going to ask me to help you dispose of all these weapons and equipment?" Torvi put down the refined long sword in his hand and raised his head to ask.

"That's what it means." Thorn nodded, and then took out a blood ax and a pure black armor that shone with light golden light from the dimension bag, solemnly placed them in front of Torvi, and said : "This is the weapon and equipment of the head of the hobgoblin army, please help me deal with it."

……

"Thorn, these two pieces of equipment are not simple. Are you sure you want to sell them?" Torvi looked at Thorn in shock, and reminded him while stroking the delicate pattern of the full body armor.

"This kind of power-type equipment is not suitable for me. If I don't sell it, why don't I keep it for the elderly?" Thorn didn't care much.

"What materials do you need me to help you collect?"

"Three red zircons, two blue and white diamonds." Thorne said without thinking.

"You are such a lunatic. I guess selling all of your equipment would not be worth the price of these few gems."

After hearing the materials Thorne needed, Torvi couldn't help complaining that he really couldn't understand what a ranger needed so many precious gems for. He really regarded himself as a wizard.

"If it's not enough, I'll make it up later. In short, please help me collect these gems as soon as possible. It is very important to me. After all, you have more contact with people from the Banyue Chamber of Commerce, and it is easier to negotiate. It's convenient." Thorne didn't feel any surprise after listening to the other party's complaints.

After speaking, Tolvi, who was in a daze, led Anderina out of the room.

"What's the use of collecting those precious gems?" After the two walked side by side for a distance, the sorceress Andrina finally couldn't help her curiosity, grabbed Thorne's arm to stop, and asked.

"You should know the ancient weapons." Thorn finished speaking, saw the other party nod, and continued: "My kendo profession belongs to the Nine Swords System of Karatu Continent, and the three systems I mastered all recorded How to use the ancient ritual to make the weapon in your hand a powerful ancient weapon."

"You mean that you want to create an ancient weapon?" Anderina glanced at Thorne's long sword, which was hanging on his waist, and was surprised, guessing a little bit inconceivably.

"That's right." Thorn nodded and explained to her: "The ancient weapons of the Desert Wind Sect have three rituals, namely the ritual of fire, the ritual of cloud, and the ritual of begging. To transform into an ancient weapon, the first thing to do is the fire ceremony.

This kind of ritual must insert the weapon into a violently burning fire source to make the blade become white hot, then take it out to cool down, and then burn it to cool down. Repeatedly for 24 hours, the first step is considered to be completed.

But this kind of ritual can only be carried out in the lava of the crater on the main material plane except for the fire elemental plane flame.And these precious gems I prepared are for the purpose of arranging the protective circle of the Fire Ritual to prevent the weapons from being melted or damaged by the high-temperature flames during the burning process.

When the first ceremony is completed, I will be able to master the low-level ancient specialties, and my weapons will also awaken many powerful special abilities, which will greatly improve my strength. "

After listening to Thorne's explanation, Andelina glanced at him unexpectedly, and said worriedly, "Then your..."

However, before she finished speaking, Thorne was interrupted directly, and then she saw the other party smiling and shaking his head at her: "That's enough, don't bother you."
