Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 331 Tavern
Uptown, Unicorn Tavern.

As usual, in the tavern, candle shadows flickered and lights were brightly lit, and the entire space was filled with wine tables, stools, and drunkards.

The only difference is that there is no hustle and bustle of the past.

These adventurous and nervous adventurers are all sitting on the chairs, like curious babies, not making noise or making noise, but all looking at the same position.

Except, of course, for a blond girl who is preoccupied with a ferocious suckling pig.

Where the eyes met, an elf bard in a pure white robe was sitting in the corner of the hall, playing the harp in the shadows where the candlelight could not reach.

The body of the piano is melodious and soft, accompanied by low-pitched singing in this quiet tavern:

In the twilight of dawn, I see
spring in the town over the waterfall

quietly sprout
grow quietly

Let it grow eyes and ears first

Let our compatriots from faraway places, together

Listen to the endless emerald field
will it be peaceful

Take a look at this familiar and unfamiliar home
Is there a curl of smoke floating around

Well, let it grow quietly
We've had the coldest days

The spring in the town of Falls has not yet faded
We are using sweat and wisdom
Fill every space in the home

Erase the haze and desolation...

In the twilight of dawn, I still see

Flocks of birds fly to the hopeful blue sky

Bless us from afar

……

The handsome and beautiful elf man elegantly plucked the harp in his arms, sang moving poems, and met the eyes of the half-elf boss in the counter from time to time, and the two smiled knowingly at the same time.

hope?

A magical and wonderful word.

For those who work hard, it is a power that can sublimate and leap forward.

However, for those seeking pleasure, it can only lead to regret and remorse for the rest of their lives.

The half-elf boss sat on a chair by the counter, looking at the fellow adventurers with different expressions, a bitter smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Why a bitter smile?
Because most of the adventurers gathered in the Unicorn Tavern are pleasure-seekers.

Of course, he also included himself.

Although they regard Fallstown as their home and sanctuary, they have never done any duty of protection.

When the town of Upper Falls is besieged by vicious humanoids, it's met with irrational complaints.

While shivering in the shadows in the corner, they blamed the guardians for not being able to bring them a permanent peaceful life.

The siege of the town will seriously affect travel, making them unable to leave the town, which means they have no source of income.

Without a source of income, these adventurers starve after spending their savings, all for a living, nothing more.

Because they are a group of adventurers, they never live, there is nothing they can't do.

This is human nature.

Some people will fight to the last moment for everything they want to protect, and eventually become a mound of weeds everywhere.

Some people just want to survive and become insensitive.

There are also some people who have broken free from the shackles of morality and swayed their lives wantonly.

Instead of wasting time, it is better to take up arms and fight hard.

"Alas..." The half-elf boss put his hand on his forehead, flipped through the ledger in boredom, looked at the talking and laughing adventurers, and sighed with emotion, but didn't know what to say.

There is deep confusion in his eyes, and he can no longer see where the future road should go.

Although the threat of hobgoblin assassins has been lifted, and the gleaming gold coins in the pocket of the half-elf boss are increasing day by day, he is a little bit uninterested, as if these cute little things are a pile of scrap metal.

"This is not a good sign. It seems that I have to do my part for Waterfall Town."

The half-elf boss slapped his head suddenly, walked out of the counter, and ran to the nearest table.Under the dissatisfied eyes of a dwarf player and a barbarian player, he stood on the table and announced loudly: "Everyone, be quiet!"

Noticing the quiet tavern and most of the gazes focused on him, the half-elf boss standing on the table deliberately coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"In order to celebrate our home town Fallstown's elimination of the threat of hobgoblin assassins and restore peace again, and to sincerely thank the hero who fought alone at the forefront, today the Unicorn Tavern will give everyone a free cup of Dragon Bitter liquor.

bring it on!Let's remember together who did more than 100 invaders' heads hanging on the wall of Fallshang Town!
Yes, he is our countryman, Guardian of Fallstown, Stalker of the Silent Way, half-elf ranger, Thorne.

He helped us eliminate the threat of hobgoblin assassins, and let us smile again on our dark faces. Isn't this kind of person worth remembering and celebrating together? "

As the half-elf boss walked off the table, the quiet tavern boiled and became noisy and noisy.

As for whether these people are because of the guardians of Waterfall Town or because of the free cup of dragon bite bitter wine, the half-elf boss doesn't want to know. Feeling refreshed, the whole person becomes refreshed.

"You can't forget your roots in life." The half-elf boss whispered while looking at the account book in his hand, his eyes became bright, and he seemed to have found the direction of the future.

After a brief hustle and bustle, the elf bard's moving poems sounded slowly, as if covering the tavern with an inexplicable atmosphere.

At this time, a savage man with sloppy clothes, a disheveled face, and hair like a chicken coop pushed the door open and entered.

"Snapped!"

He walked directly to the counter, took out twenty black gold coins, deliberately raised his loud voice like a firecracker, and yelled at the half-elf boss who settled the accounts: "Boss, bring me a whole bottle of dragon coins!" Bitter wine! Remember, it's a whole bottle, not a small cup."

"Hey! Isn't this an idiot? You have a new scar on your face, did your hair accidentally catch fire when you were perming it?" Another barbarian sitting on a chair looked at this The scruffy barbarian laughed wantonly.

"Bah! You bastard, the orc Kutaig in the upper city is buying kobold slaves for a price of one gold coin. I was lucky today, and I caught a kobold cub in the wilderness. It comes with a warlock level, and it sold for 100 gold coins."

The scruffy barbarian glared at the other party, and showed off to the mocker with a proud face.

Afterwards, he took a bottle of Dragon Bitter Wine that was handed over, unscrewed the cork, put it next to his nose, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Ah! My water of life can be chic and happy for a while, haha Ha ha……"

"It's a piece of shit luck, why didn't you burn to death." Another barbarian cursed when he saw the other party laughing and leaving.

The news that Kutaig in the Adventurer's Hall in the lower city bought 500 kobold slaves has spread throughout the town of Falls, but unfortunately, the hordes of kobolds in the wilderness are not so easy to catch.

Because these little guys are naturally timid, they generally don't act alone, and there are often more than a dozen of them. They will bravely attack when twice the number of enemies. If the number of enemies is not equal, they will call more Companions, or just run away.

Moreover, there are still people to be caught, so this gold coin is not so easy for adventurers who wander alone.

"Sister Sigrit, what does Brother Thorne buy so many kobold slaves for?" In the corner of the tavern, the half-elf girl Lilia brushed the hair on her forehead that blocked her view, looking at the man who was fighting with an elbow. The blond girl asked curiously.

"It should be to steal... mining." Sigrit was stunned for a moment, then responded casually, then looked at the girl sitting there motionless opposite, and said curiously: "Lilia, you eat so little. , Are you losing weight recently?"

"Losing weight?" Lilia was stunned. She found that the black dragon brought back by Thorne could always utter some incomprehensible words from time to time.

"It means keeping in shape, so that no one will like you if you gain weight." Sigrit explained casually.

It turned out that this meant losing weight, Lilia smiled perfunctorily at Sigrit, and continued to remain silent.

After getting along with him for more than a month, Lilia has a deep understanding of the lively character of this black dragon, so she always likes to keep silent about him.

Only in this way can a lot of unnecessary words and troubles be reduced.

There is no way, Thorne once specifically explained to her, let her play with the other party, and assured her that the little girl would go home by herself after a few days of playing.

Who would have thought that this company lasted for more than a month, and the other party seemed to have more than enough to say.

Lilia felt a little helpless. Although Thorne had cleaned up all the hobgoblin assassins wandering around Fallstown, which made her very happy, Sigrit in front of her made her feel no less than hobgoblin assassins. Assassin pressure.

She was worried that after the other party got tired of playing in Fallstown, he wanted to go to other places in the Emerald Field.How should I persuade then?Lilia thought about it, but felt that there was no way.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sighed slightly.

"Why are you sighing?" Sigrit noticed Lilia's strangeness and asked with concern.

A melancholy half-elf girl.

This is the most correct evaluation Sigrit gave Lilia after spending more than a month with her.

She originally thought that taking Lilia to play around the town of Waterfall would make her happier, but what she didn't expect was that this effect was not so obvious, but had a tendency to deepen...

"It's okay." Lilia smiled perfunctorily again, frowned and looked around, and then said, "Have you finished eating? Let's go after eating, it's a bit...too noisy."

"Do you know what I live for?" Seeing the other party's slightly impatient expression, Sigrit's pale green eyes flickered and asked with a smile.

"I don't know." Lilia shook her head slightly, she was not interested in this question.

"Three things." Sigrit stretched out three fingers to Lilia, and continued: "That is to take care of your flowing long hair, picky stomach, and those smiling eyes, it's that simple .This is my life... No, it's Longsheng."

"..."

Isn't that just living heartlessly, Lilia gave the other party a weird look, and didn't answer Sigrit's words.

Although she also envied this kind of life very much, she knew very well what she was living for, and she also knew that she would never return to that carefree life.

"Alas..." Seeing Lilia's silent expression, Sigrit, who rested her cheek in one hand and tapped the table with the other, didn't know what to say, and could only respond with a helpless sigh.

Because she found that the character of the other party seemed to be very similar to that of Thorne, and they belonged to the kind of person who was not very talkative.

At least Thorne can still tease him occasionally, and it is also a pleasure to see his rich expression changes, but she really has no way to deal with the half-elf girl in front of her.

Sigrit feels that she has been with this kind of person for a long time, and she is afraid that her situation will be affected and depressed, because she has clearly felt that she has learned to sigh recently.

"How about... let's go to the Temple of Melikai to play." The two were silent for a while, and Sigrit had a flash of inspiration, staring at Lilia and asking tentatively.

"No!" Lilia raised her head to meet Sigrit's gaze, and refused directly and forcefully.

Before he left, Thorn specifically explained that there was a red copper dragon that woke up from a deep sleep and was wandering in the emerald field.

For Sigrit's safety, she must stop this problem girl from leaving the town.

"It's okay, I'm in human form now, even if I meet face to face, as long as I don't return to my real body, the other party won't be able to detect my true identity."

Seeing that the depressed girl's attitude suddenly became so tough, Sigrit hurriedly explained, and also took out a pendant hanging around her neck for the other party to check.

She didn't lie about this, because she asked the female owner of the underground bar to help collect this anti-detection equipment.

"What are you going to do in the forest goddess' temple?" Lilia asked with a calm expression.

"Didn't you say that there are unicorns in the depths of the temple, I want you to take me to see them together." Sigrit said truthfully.

"But...you are a black dragon." Lilia looked at him with a headache.

The unicorn is a holy guardian, so it must be very sensitive to the breath of the black dragon. She didn't think that the other party could get close to the unicorn.

"It's okay, they will never discover my true identity." Sigrit immediately assured Lilia.

"But Brother Thorn said, for your safety, you must not be taken out." Lilia hesitated, but she still didn't let go.

She has been in Waterfall Town for more than two months, and she really wants to go back to the temple.

"Your Brother Thorne must be in the Forest of Tranquility right now. We'll go find him first when we get there. Just throw my troubles at him. Don't worry, it's absolutely fine." Seeing that Lilia let go , Sigrit added.

For her, the entire Emerald Field could go wherever she wanted, and leave whenever she wanted.

But she also understands the reason not to cause trouble for the other party, otherwise she would have disappeared without a trace.

The reason why she wanted to go to the Temple of Melikai in the Forest of Tranquility was because she really wanted to find the unicorn to confirm something that was more important to her.

"Then... okay." Lilia hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement with Sigrit's expectant eyes.

After all, the opponent has anti-detection equipment, as long as the real body remains unchanged, there is absolutely no problem.

"That's right, this is my good friend." Seeing Lilia nodding her head in agreement, Sigrit was overjoyed, and then she left her seat and walked in front of her, holding the girl's arm, very affectionately Said.

However, what Lilia responded to her was a pair of slightly melancholy white eyes.

"Hey, I said, don't keep a bitter face all the time, you're too boring, young people should live a brighter life."

A playful look suddenly flashed in the helpless Sigritte's eyes.

She stretched her hand towards Lilia's delicate and pretty face, brushed her drooping hair, and said teasingly, "Niu'er, come here and give me a smile."

"..."

Lilia turned around to avoid Sigrit's outstretched little hand, and continued to remain silent.

"Okay, then if you don't want to laugh, I'll give you a good laugh, just a little..." Sigrit approached Lilia again and said with a grimace.
