Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 272 Cleansing

"what!!!"

In the ruins of the underground ruins, accompanied by the 'crack' sound of bone displacement, there was a howling of pain immediately like a pig being slaughtered.

"Qingchen...Master, please be gentle, it really hurts." Paladin Peo wiped the sweat from the fine scales on his forehead, and said to the druid who remained calm all the time.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Peo, I don't know much about the distribution of bones in your dragon race. I need to explore slowly, please forgive me." Master Qingchen dragged the paladin Pao's limp left arm and looked at the four bones on his palm. Dragon Claw, said with a faint smile:
"However, your left arm looks completely deformed and distorted. If you don't correct it immediately, with the recovery ability of your dragon race, it will soon be shaped, and it will be more troublesome to restore it at that time. .”

As soon as the words fell, his calm eyes narrowed slightly, and his palms immediately began to exert force.Immediately, the slight cracking sound of bones mixed with the paladin's painful wailing echoed in the hidden ruins again.

"Whoo~"

After a while, paladin Peo fearfully looked at the druid who was finally willing to let go, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Noticing that he was still afraid to move the hanging left arm, his rough and horny eyebrows frowned, and the free right hand was instantly surrounded by a circle of holy light, touching the fractured left arm.

Under the shroud of divine light, his left arm is slowly regenerating.

"When you faced the Blind Stone Man before, I thought you were not very brave. Why did you show your true colors once you got here. It turns out that when you paladins were also afraid, I thought you were really fearless."

On the other side, Malvisa, the goblin wizard who came down from the back of the prostrating warg, glanced at the embarrassment of the paladin and joked with a smile.

"These are two situations that cannot be compared at all. When I face evil, under the light of the divine radiance, I can be fearless. Courage to challenge."

Pao, the paladin, had a bit of embarrassment in his tone, and he quickly argued to the goblin wizard: "But now that the battle is over, and the tense nerves are gradually relaxed, all the pain will naturally come up all at once. I am a It's not surprising that normal people can't bear this kind of heart-wrenching pain."

"Then what if you meet that kind of evil enemy with very different strengths? Will you still shout for the sake of so-and-so's belief and rush to give away the head." Malvisa leaned on the wolf casually, looking A look of interest flickered in the pale red eyes of paladin Peo.

"In my paladin rules, if there are no weak and companions to protect, we will also choose to retreat strategically when encountering an enemy that cannot be dealt with." Paladin Peo replied with a serious face.

When a paladin is confronted with a question that shakes their code, they must remain silent if they are to answer the question.

After listening to the paladin's words, Malvisa changed a more comfortable position and leaned on the warg's back, then pulled down the pointed hat a little bit, covering her delicate face in the shadow of the brim of the hat, and glanced at the paladin , continued to laugh and joke:
"If you run away, just run away, and retreat strategically. Of the Dreadclaw you just met, obviously your dragon blood lizard escaped the fastest. If it wasn't for Kutaige who blocked the claws for you, you would still be able to do so honestly." Sit here?"

"That was the dragon blood lizard's own thoughts. I didn't let it choose to escape. As a paladin's mount, it showed a timid posture when it was about to go into battle. I will definitely discipline it when I look back."

The paladin Peo glanced at the place where the dragon blood lizard disappeared, finished speaking with a serious expression, and continued to argue righteously:
"Ms. Malvisa, how can you smear people's innocence out of thin air like this? A strategic retreat is not an escape. There is no such thing as escape in the paladin's rules. There is nothing wrong with a proper strategic retreat.

You have to know that our mission is to tilt the balance of the entire multiverse in the right direction, not to let it slide into complete destruction, to heal the wounded, to kill evil, to protect the innocent and all companions who fight for justice ..."

"Mr. Kutaige, do you need me to help you?" Faced with the paladin's eloquent arguments, Master Qingchen, who has always remained silent, cast his eyes on the orc sword master who was about to stitch up the wound on his arm, and his voice was deliberately raised A few points.

"Brother Kurteg was injured because of me, so let me do it." Noticing the druid's words, the paladin immediately stopped talking, and turned his attention to the orc sword master, the rough dragon-born race. The crazy voice sounded again.

"No, no, I'll do it myself." The orc sword master wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and when he heard the sincere pleading from the paladin, he suddenly spotted four thick sticks on each palm of the dragonborn paladin out of the corner of his eye. With powerful dragon claws, cold sweat fell down his forehead again, so he quickly refused.

"Does the Kutaige brothers also think that self-mutilation can give them inexplicable pleasure?" Seeing the orc sword master's refusal, the paladin didn't force it, but asked suspiciously.

"..."

The orc sword master paused while holding the needle, and looked helplessly at the dragon's face, which was hard to see any expression.

Because after listening to the paladin's words, he suddenly felt that he didn't have the courage to do anything to him, and the wound on his arm seemed to become more painful.

At this time, the two figures walking in from the door attracted everyone's attention and diverted their attention from the orc sword master.

"Why did it take so long, did something happen?" Malvisa, who was comfortably leaning on the back of the warg, glanced at the blood on Thorn's body with her eyes hidden under the brim of her hat, and frowned, she asked.

"It took some time to obtain the gastric juice of the petrified lizard. Unfortunately, none of us know the skinning technique. Otherwise, two pieces of thick scale armor from the petrified lizard would be worth a lot of money."

Thorn glanced at the "Light Art" flashing on the ceiling, shook the cloudy liquid in the glass bottle, and said to her.

The cumbersome and dull basilisks, their favorite hunting method is to use the magical gaze ability to transform their prey into lifelike stone statues, and then chew the stones with their strong jaws. The basilisk's stomach was transformed into its original flesh and blood form and digested.

So many alchemists know how to use the gastric juice of petrified lizards to make a potion that can help petrified creatures return to their original state.

Naturally, the selling price of this gastric juice is very expensive.

For Thorn, a basilisk is a treasure all over, and he doesn't mind hunting some hidden lizards here if he has the chance.

After all, these big lizards can not only allow him to gain experience, but also get a lot of expensive materials.

Then, Thorne looked around with his eyes, secretly sizing up everyone.

The orc sword master was stitching up the wound on his arm. Master Qingchen sat cross-legged on a flat stone and meditated. The dragon-born paladin looked at the orc sword master curiously, looking eager to try, while the goblin wizard leaned lazily on the well-behaved at the side of his warg, and continued:
"I've dealt with the smell and traces outside, and I've covered up the entrance to the ruins, so everyone can rest here for a night, recover from your injuries, and we'll set off tomorrow."

After Thorn finished speaking, he led Anderina towards another corner of the ruins.

"Little ranger, come here." Suddenly, Malvisa stopped him.

"What's the matter?" Thorne led Anderina over suspiciously.

——"Zero Ring Trick: Cleanse!"

Noticing Thorn's approaching figure, Malvisa smiled slightly, stretched out her small hand hidden in the wide sleeve, waved it lightly, and an imperceptible magical aura instantly enveloped him.

"So amazing?" Seeing that all the blood and filth on the clothes had been cleaned up, Thorne glanced at the goblin wizard in surprise, then looked at Anderina and said, "Do you know this spell?"

This kind of spell is too practical for someone like him who likes to pursue efficiency, at least he won't worry about taking a bath in the future.

However, this spell does not seem to be a regular spell for wizards, and almost no one can master it.

"Not yet..." Anderina shook her head slightly when she felt Thorne's expectant gaze.

"The invention of every spell is a long and dangerous process, even the lowest-level zero-ring trick. However, it is difficult for ordinary wizards to learn this spell. If you want to learn it, I can teach you another day." Goblin wizard Malvisa glanced at Anderina and said casually.

"I heard that druids have a five-ring magical spell "Unicorn Dance", and the effect seems to be very similar to that of this spell. Thorne seemed to think of something, so he said.

"That's right, the "cleaning technique" was researched by a lazy wizard based on this divine technique.However, the function of "Dance of the Unicorn" is not just to clean the blood on the body, the most important function of this magic is to purify the air and water. Malvisa looked dazed for a moment, then suddenly said with emotion:
"Unfortunately, very few wizards would be willing to spend their entire lives researching spells that purify the air. If they could research six-ring spells, nine-ring spells, or even legendary magic spells that are more effective than "Unicorn Dance", Spells, the construction golem factory in the Black Pearl Forest will not be destroyed. "

After listening to Malvisa's emotion, Thorne and Anderina looked at each other, and remained silent as if they had a tacit understanding.

"Ms. Malvisa, it's not what you imagined." At this time, the silent Master Qingchen answered.

"What do you mean?" Malvisa asked curiously as she looked at the druid who seldom spoke.

"I have seen records in the books stored in Jade Garden. There was indeed a certain wizard who developed this nine-ring spell to purify air and water. But the cost was too high, and it was eventually suspended." Feeling the goblin wizard Master Qingchen said unhurriedly with an undisguised look of doubt.

"What's the price?" Malvisa asked subconsciously.

"The casting material is a high-level unicorn." Master Qingchen said slowly.

"So that's how it is." After listening to Master Qingchen's words, Malvisa, the goblin wizard, muttered to herself in a voice that no one could hear:
"I'm still wondering why the Black Pearl Forest can be restored as before, and the prophecy of the credit knife man failed to come true. So the problem lies here. The legendary Druids and unicorns, the price is indeed too high."
