Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 260
Uptown in Upper Falls.

The spring is bright and sunny, the forest path is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, except for the joyful singing of birds, only bees and beetles buzzing from time to time fly past the flowers and plants, everything seems peaceful and peaceful.

"Little Lando, your mentor is a stern and taciturn orc sword master, and he is also my friend, so you don't need to be afraid of his race, you just need to maintain a strong belief and concentrate on practicing your way of swordsmanship. "

Thorn pushed aside the fresh green willow branches hanging in his sight, walked up to the half-elf boy, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a serious smile:

"You stay at home honestly first, and think carefully about what you are guarding in your heart. When we come back, it will be time to test whether you are qualified to become a Juggernaut. I hope you don't let us down."

"Brother Thorne, I've already made up my mind, I want to protect..." The half-elf boy glanced at Thorne, a painful memory appeared in his mind, and immediately replied firmly.

However, before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Thorne, who said with a slightly dignified expression:
"Don't jump to conclusions so early, or what you just thought was just a whim, think it over carefully, you still have time, so as not to wait until you regret it and break your inner vows, then your life will almost be ruined."

"I understand." The half-elf boy clenched his fists and nodded half-understanding.

"Brother Thorne, sister Warlock, may the forest goddess protect you and make your trip go well." The half-elf girl Lilia folded her hands on her chest and bowed slightly to Thorne and blessed them softly.

"The price of growth is..." Anderina looked at Lin Jian's back and whispered to herself, "Killing childishness also hurts innocence."

"Because in everyone's life, there is always an experience that makes you grow up completely. It is difficult for people who have not experienced the pain of life to talk about their perception of life, and they cannot have a profound understanding of life." Thorne watched the two The distant figure said something to himself.

Then he turned his eyes to both sides of the road, standing on the big trees with vigorous branches in the spring breeze, the fine leaves were green and green, layered on top of each other, and the sun penetrating down cast mottled light and shadow on the ground.

Looking at this almost primitive natural appearance, Thorne couldn't help but sighed softly, and immediately took Anderina's hand, turned and walked towards the downtown area.

"Why are you sighing?" Anderina slowed down a bit, staring at Thorne's face covered by a few strands of hair, and said in a strange tone:
"When you are young, you have to pretend to be an old man and make yourself depressed. You like to pretend to be deep so much."

"Is there?" Thorn stopped, rubbed his head, looked at Anderina's delicate cheeks, couldn't help but stroked her soft hair, and explained with a smile:
"I just saw that most of the uptown area was occupied by trees, so I was thinking, if the population increases in the future, does it mean that large areas of trees will be cut down, and the environment will be destroyed. Well, it's just a pity."

"Then you mean, do you want to be a forest guardian?" Andrina glared at Thorn, and joked with a smile:
"That's right, you have 75% wood elf blood. Wood elves are the race with the highest natural affinity among the elf races. It's normal to have such thoughts.

It seems that your personality has gradually begun to be assimilated by your own blood. Do you think you will become like an extremist druid in the future, yelling all day long about who disrupted the balance of nature. "

"Where did you go? It has nothing to do with the blood of the elves. It is because I have liked the almost primitive natural environment since I was a child. This is my innate personality." Thorne shook his head slightly and retorted.

After finishing speaking, the two walked away in silence for a while, and Anderina struggled for a while, and grabbed Thorn's arm again to stop her steps.

When she noticed Thorn's suspicious gaze, she raised her head and moved closer to him, staring at him with her gentle eyes, and said softly, "Thon, have you thought about our future. "

our future?
Thorne subconsciously met Anderina's tender gaze, and he could clearly feel a deep look of anticipation deep in the other's eyes, as if waiting for his perfect answer.

However, being caught off guard by the question, he hesitated a bit and didn't know how to answer.

Because he really didn't think about it, although he could make a temporary reassurance by patting his chest, but he thought it was undoubtedly deceiving her feelings.

After all, this is a decision related to the future of the two of them, and it cannot be fooled by him in a few words, which means that he himself does not respect this relationship.

Therefore, he had to think carefully about this kind of thing. He couldn't answer for the time being, so he could only look at Anderina apologetically, and chose to remain silent.

And at this time, his only goal now is to improve his strength as soon as possible, so that the waterfall can stand firmly in the wilderness, and at the same time, be able to go to the imprint city known as the "capital of thousands of gates", so as to avoid the unknown catastrophe. , without any preparation.

For him, since the problem has come out, then he must start to think about how to develop the relationship with Anderina smoothly, instead of just being in chaos like this.

"Although I have already guessed that you will look like this, I still can't help but ask, because if I don't take the initiative to ask, with your... personality, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take the initiative to mention it to me."

The disappointment in Anderina's eyes flashed away, and then she grabbed Thorne's arm and laughed happily again:

"However, at least when you deal with this issue, you didn't choose to perfunctory me just to please me, which shows that I haven't misunderstood the person."

After finishing speaking, Andelina stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to smack Thorn's cheek, and then said softly, "Thon, do you know? If you are really that kind of person, I will look down on you, after all, my eyesight It's never been that superficial."

Feeling the soft moist heat on his cheeks, Thorne was silent for a moment, turned around and looked at her affectionately, and whispered his heart: "This is a very cruel and realistic alien for us. The world, because it makes us lose everything we had, but why not give us another form of new life.

In fact, I can't guarantee how far I can go now, so I can't guarantee what kind of future I can give you.The only thing I can do now is that as long as I am still alive, I will always be the one you think is worth relying on. "

"It's really embarrassing for you to say such affectionate words." Andelina's beautiful eyes bent into a crescent shape, and then she leaned on Thorn's shoulder, evoking a faint smile: "Thorn, let me ask you another question. Will my appearance affect the speed at which you draw your sword?"

"..." Throne, who was at a loss for words, subconsciously touched the position of the hilt of his sword, and finally did not know how to answer this question perfectly.

So he immediately changed the subject bluntly: "Don't keep them waiting, we have to explore the lost holy city of the dragon race today, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he forcibly pulled Anderina, who was pretending to be displeased, and walked towards the lower city.

…………

In a certain box of the Unicorn Tavern, Torvi was leaning on a chair in the corner, puffing out smoke, and the fire flickered in the pipe.

Although this cheap tobacco from Seput City can relax his expression and keep his mind clear, but now he has been smoking non-stop, and his frowning has never been relieved.

"Is it really reliable for these four people to combine together to explore the lost holy city of the dragon race with Thorne?" Tolvi looked at the four people who talked frequently, and couldn't help feeling a little worried for Thorne.

At this time, in this room surrounded by second-hand smoke, the goblin wizard Malvisa was confronting the indifferent Master Qingchen with great interest.

On the other hand, the orc swordsman Kutaige had a serious expression on his face, and he chatted with the newly arrived dragon-born paladin Peo without saying a word.

"You are Master Druid Qingchen. I have met you twice, like a wooden man, and I have never said a word." Malvisa, the goblin wizard, stood on the chair and leaned on the backrest , looked at Master Qingchen with a playful tone and said.

"Exactly." Dressed in a plain cloth robe, Master Qingchen answered seriously, not caring about the goblin wizard's light red eyes sweeping back and forth.

"Then what kind of Druid do you belong to?" Malvisa smiled, showing two cute little fangs on the upper jaw, guessing: "Bird Druid? Milk Druid? Xiong Druid? Qingyu Druid? Cat Druid? Spell Druid?"

"Isn't it?" Marvisa, who kept making a lot of guesses, saw that Master Qingchen remained silent, stretched out her small hand to touch her chin, and joked with a smile: "Could it be that you are 'wicked'? "

"It's morality, Lord Malvisa." The indifferent Master Qingchen replied politely.

"Oh, I see, it's a nonsense 'Tao', right." Malvisa said suddenly.

"It's the 'Tao' of the Way of Inaction, Lord Malvisa." Master Qingchen's expression never changed.

"It means doing nothing, not doing anything, right." Malvisa, who thought the other party was interesting, joked again with a smile.

"The so-called inaction is to act according to the 'Tao'. In this world, one should cultivate one's self-cultivation in order to obey the destiny, but also need to abandon presumptuous actions, avoid disasters and act cautiously, and pursue a state of simplicity, thrift, purity and asceticism." Originally indifferent Qing Master Chen's expression became serious, and he defended the goblin wizard in a solemn tone.

"Heaven? There are gods high above, Xiaode, your way of heaven and inaction is no longer useful." Malvisa pointed to the ceiling of the box and retorted.

"The existence and development of all things are natural. The so-called gods are just the spokespersons of the will of the world. Existence is reasonable." Master Qingchen replied indifferently.

……

While the goblin wizard and the druid were chatting frequently, the orc sword master on the other side also chatted with the dragonborn paladin.

Both of them bowed to each other with serious expressions, and then sat down at the same time.

"Mr. Kutaige, there is a question that I have always been puzzled by." Dragonborn paladin Peo glanced at the orc swordsman, opened his mouth first, and asked earnestly:

"Are the two exposed fangs on your lower jaw not in the way when you are eating? What is its attack strength, and can it be used as an attack weapon?"

"Just get used to it." The orc sword master explained to him not very concerned: "My weapon is only the sharpest sword in my hand. When I really use these two fangs in battle, then It means that I have lost my will to be a Juggernaut, which means I am not far from death."

"So that's it, I understand, but I see that the long sword in your hand is very ordinary, why can I feel a sense of sharpness and palpitations."

The dragon-born paladin looked at the orc sword master respectfully, locked his eyes on the long sword of the orc sword master, and expressed another doubt in his heart again.

"This is a Hruk hobgoblin's standard long sword. From the moment I became a Juggernaut, I have the ability to use life energy to condense it on the weapon, so this long sword will fade with time. Precipitate and gradually become stronger." The orc sword master stroked the sword body and replied truthfully,
"I see in your eyes an indomitable fighting spirit. As a warrior who inherits the bloodline of the ancient dragon god, I want to test how sharp the sword in your hand is. I hope you can fulfill my request, Kutai Mr. Ge." The dragonborn paladin froze, touched the position of the hilt of his sword, and said solemnly.

"No problem, I accept your challenge!" Hearing the words, the orc sword master got up with his sword and responded.

"Thank you very much, please give me your advice!" The dragonborn paladin also stood up immediately, with a strong fighting spirit bursting out from his pale red pupils.

"Wait a minute!" Tolvi, who noticed that something was wrong, hurried over to stop the two people, and comforted him:
"We're about to set off soon, you two just stop for a while. Paladin Peo, don't tell me that in your heart, the lost holy city of the dragonborn race is not as important as an impromptu challenge?"

"For thousands of years, my people have worked hard to establish a territory that survived the malicious gaze of all civilizations. The glorious city of Kimbatur is the last hope of the dragonborn race."

After the dragon-born paladin finished his righteous speech, he looked at the orc sword master with apologetic eyes and said, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Kutaige, we can only come back to compete another day."

"No problem, I'll be with you at any time." A hint of disappointment flashed across Kurteg's sharp eyes, and then he sat back to his original position.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. When the people in the room heard the knock, Torvi and Master Qingchen, who was talking with the goblin wizard, all looked relieved.

"Mr. Thorne, you are finally here, thank you very much for helping to find the lost holy city of Dragonborn!"

When the door of the box was opened, the paladin Peo went up to greet him first. As soon as he finished speaking, he solemnly pressed the silver-white holy emblem to his chest and bowed deeply.

"..." Thorne glanced at Torvi, and said, "You don't need to be so polite, there are unknown dangers in the underground ruins, and I will need to rely on your strength when the time comes."

"No problem! As a paladin of the God of Justice, it is my duty to purify evil." Paladin Peo said righteously.

"Is...is he a player? Isn't this too deep..." Anderina glanced at the paladin, and turned her questioning gaze to Thorne beside her.

Thorne, who felt the gaze, nodded to her, and said to several people in the room: "We can go."

"Please wait a moment!" Suddenly, the paladin Peo stopped everyone who was about to set off.

Thorn and the others looked at him suspiciously.

——"Spell-like ability: detect evil!"

"I'm sorry, everyone offended you." After the paladin Peo finished speaking, he held the holy emblem in his hand, and with the bursts of holy light flashing, in his eyes, all the flashing auras of the camps around them were clearly presented in front of his eyes.

The paladin profession is the vanguard of fighting evil. This ability of "detecting evil" can be used anytime, anywhere.Although using it on people will make people feel disgusted and hostile, but the paladin can only do this in order to prevent dancing with the evil alignment.

Accompanied by bursts of magical auras, the orc sword master is a lawful and neutral bright white aura, while Master Qingchen is an absolutely neutral white aura.

Immediately afterwards, there was the aura of the goblin wizard with a faint red glow in the pale white.

Chaotic Neutral!

The paladin Peo was startled, took a deep look at the goblin wizard, and turned his gaze to Thorne and Anderina, and found that both of them were light blue auras of chaotic kindness.

"Miss Warlock, please allow me to say something." When the paladin Peo locked his eyes on Anderina, he frowned and said.

"Is there any problem?" Noticing the expression of the paladin, Thorne asked.

"This Miss Warlock's faction has changed too quickly. In just two or three months, she has changed from lawful good to chaotic good. I just want to remind her to pay attention to her behavior in the future and not to be so depraved. It's gone." The paladin Peo met Thorne's gaze and continued:

"Moreover, I felt the breath of negative energy on her body, which means that there must be undead creatures with strong negative energy in the place where she lives. If this continues, she will be in danger of being corroded by negative energy."

"Is it that serious?" Thorne cast his eyes on Anderina: "It seems that you will stay away from that elf girl who is a physical banshee in the future."

"That's not necessary, I've already taught her how to restrain the negative energy." Malvisa the goblin wizard continued: "As for the faction changing too quickly, it's normal, because her little lover is chaotic and kind. This is called husband and wife, what does he know, a dead-headed little lizard."

"Mr. Thorne, since this Miss Warlock is your lover, don't you two live together yet?" Pao asked seriously.

After the paladin Peo finished his angry words, the atmosphere in the whole box seemed to be a little stagnant. Torvi's strange eyes wandered back and forth between the two, and Malvisa looked at them with a half-smile.

"..." Thorne glanced at Andrina, who had changed expression, and said with displeasure, "Does this have anything to do with you? As a paladin, you seem to be too gossip."

"Mr. Thorn, please don't get me wrong. What I mean is that you are wearing the ring of a paladin. If the two of you get in touch with each other too much, the negative energy around this Miss Warlock will slowly be dispelled." St. The samurai Peo explained to Thorne solemnly, without blushing or beating heart.

"Just tell me to wear this ring for her for a few days. Why did you make such a big circle around it? Did you do it on purpose?" Thorne glanced at the serious paladin gloomily, and took the ring off his finger. He took it off and handed it to Anderina.

"Little girl, it seems that you are not attractive enough, let me teach you." Malvisa answered inappropriately, and said to Anderina with a smile:

"As a woman, you should comb your long black hair that falls on your shoulders into the most popular style, and insert exquisite gold and silver hair accessories on it, and then embellish this deep black with the brilliance of jewelry.

Finally, dye your cheeks with the special rouge made by the alchemist, and then put on the most gorgeous pink or aqua blue dress.Only in this way, your extremely shining beauty will make people afraid to face it.Of course, your little ranger will also be deeply attracted by your charm, unable to extricate himself.

Look at your outfit, a pure black cloak coat and loose black trousers, a messy long black hair hanging casually, like a madman, and you don't even wear a sparkling diamond earring, no wonder your The little ranger is not interested in you. "

"Don't listen to her nonsense, you are the most beautiful like this." Seeing Andrina, who was a little ashamed, Thorne took her hand to comfort her, and then immediately turned his eyes to Drew, who had always remained calm. Yi: "Master Qingchen, we can go now."

"Okay, let's go." Master Qingchen smiled gently, glanced at everyone, and walked out first, followed by the orc sword master and dragonborn paladin.

"Little girl, as a woman, you have to learn..." The goblin wizard who hadn't left yet floated towards Anderina again with a teasing tone.

——"Second Ring Magic: Silence!"

However, before she could say a few words, the goblin wizard was directly enveloped by an invisible energy, no matter how much she spoke, she couldn't make a sound, and finally gave Thorn an annoyed look, turned and left.

"It's finally gone. I regret letting her go with me." Seeing Malvisa shake off her sleeves and leave, Thorne put away the wooden holy emblem with a headache, and said concernedly to Anderina beside him, "You're alright?" Bar?"

"It's okay." Anderina, who seemed to be hit, straightened her messy hair and smiled reluctantly at Thorn.

"Mr. Torvi, please wait a moment." At this moment, Thorne noticed that the other party was about to go out, so he stopped him immediately, then took out a piece of parchment and handed it to him: "Please help me purchase these materials." one time."

"Why do you buy so many wizard's materials?" As a spellcaster, Torvi saw the role of Thorne's purchase of materials at a glance, and said a little puzzled:

"You have a batch of alchemy materials and gemstones with various functions. If you want to gather all of them, it will cost a lot. You have to be prepared in your heart, so that you can get them together when you can save them. You have no money to pay the bill."

"You can buy it with confidence, money is not a problem." Thorne glanced at Anderina, seeing her nod, so he said with a smile.

These are the materials for arranging various devices on the tower and making the eyes of insight. As for the cost, Anderina by his side will naturally pay for it.

After finishing speaking, the two walked out of the box, joined the four of them, and rushed towards the underground ruins of the holy city where the dragon race was hidden.

(Secretly asking for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket.)
