Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 341 The Emerald Tower
The last twilight of the sky faded away, and a round moon rose into the sky, and the bright silver light sprinkled all over the towering tower, covering the tower with a layer of moonlight like frost and snow.

The tower has eleven floors.

In the dim space, Thorn waved the two sharp blades in his hand at the same time, flashing deadly sword lights one after another. The sword body danced with his arms, and the simple horizontal slashing and stabbing looked perfect.

At this moment, he has been tirelessly practicing the attacking skills of the double swords in this spacious hall.

After an unknown amount of time, Thorn's galloping figure stopped abruptly with a crisp sound.

"Ding!"

During the long battle and training process...

Your understanding of your personal specialty "Double Skillful Hands" has deepened again!

You have successfully mastered the personal specialty "Double Skillful Hands"!
……

[Dual dexterity (personal specialty): You can flexibly use both hands at the same time. You are neither left-handed nor right-handed. When fighting with two weapons, you will ignore all attack penalties caused by off-hand weapons . 】

"Finally mastered this specialty." Noticing the system prompt, Thorn, who was swinging his sword, immediately stopped his movements and put the two swords in his scabbard.

Possessing the "Double Hands" specialty, he will become more flexible when using two-handed weapons to fight, and this specialty is the only one he has mastered through continuous practice.

The biggest difference between the specialties mastered by his own hard work and the specialties mastered through practice points or professional levels is that he can fully exert all the abilities of this specialization 100%.

And others, if you don't practice the day after tomorrow, you can only play about 50% at most.

This is actually the same as wizards and warlocks mastering spells.

Wizards are naturally very proficient in using these spells through learning and mastering spells, while warlocks rely on their blood to master spells. Without acquired practice, it is difficult to flexibly control the power of spells.

Thorn, who stood there in thought for a moment, smiled slightly, immediately took out twelve gold coins, and tossed them upwards.

Looking at the trajectory of the twelve gold coins, Thorne waved his hands in the air like lightning, flashing blurry afterimages.

When all the dust settled, he immediately spread out his hands, and there were exactly six gold coins in each hand.

In the underground bar in the dark region, he who was also blackjack agility couldn't even control eight gold coins. Now he also has blackjack agility and received twelve gold coins, which seemed easy and comfortable for him.

The root cause of this problem was not only the "Shuangdexterous Hands" feat he had just mastered, but also the "Complete Restoration" magic spell of the seven rings that completely healed his hidden wounds all over his body, which also played a big role.

"The next attack feat is 'Whirlwind Attack'. Thinking of this specialty, Thorne suddenly felt a little helpless.

Because the "Two Skillful Hands" feat is a reminder of the feat information he accidentally obtained when he was practicing the "Whirlwind Attack" feat, which made him instantly realize that his physical condition should be very suitable for the "Two Skillful Hands" ability.

So he started to practice immediately, and after more than two months of hard practice, he successfully mastered it completely.

Today, more than two months have passed since forming an alliance with Carlos.

During this period of time, except for the gnolls from the Great Swordscar Mountain Range who often attacked Pushang Town, the hobgoblin Hruk behaved very law-abiding.

This allowed Pushang Town to develop steadily under the attack of the wolf men, because these wolf men only needed him to take action to completely defeat them.

At this time, there was a sound of fine footsteps coming from the spiral staircase, and Thorn's expression moved, and he immediately went up to it.

"Come here?" Seeing Andrina walking over, Thorn greeted with a smile.

The eleventh floor of the tower was originally an empty room, so in order not to disturb the wizard in front of him studying spells, he almost stayed here alone to learn the moves and continuous specialties of Nine Swords when he was free.

"Seeing how happy you are, have you made any new breakthroughs?" Noticing Thorn's ease, Andrina walked up to him and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Almost." Thorn, who had long been accustomed to Anderina's actions, nodded in response, and asked, "Is there something important for you to come here at this point?"

"I can't take a look at you if I have nothing to do." Andrina smiled and handed Thorn a beautiful white eye, then wrapped his arm and said:

"Ms. Malvisa asked me to tell you that the tower's defenses have been fully deployed, and the Eye of Insight can be opened, so I'll let you go there."

"Then let's go." Thorn's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately took Anderina's hand and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Twelve floors of the tower.

The room on the highest floor of the tower is as bright as day even at night because of the magical lights embedded in the ceiling.

The goblin wizard Malvisa was sitting on a chair beside the dark blue marble table, her light red eyes covered by the brim of her hat quietly stared at a crystal ball in front of her that was guided by magic and suspended in mid-air.

"Come here." Noticing the arrival of the two, Malvisa beckoned, but her voice was a little low.

"Thorn, do you know what it means when this eye of insight is activated?" Seeing that the two had come to the side, the goblin wizard looked up at Thorne.

"What does it mean?" Thorne and Anderina looked at each other, but they didn't get the answer they wanted, so they guessed, "Could it be the attention of a certain force?"

In fact, the eye of insight has been made a long time ago, the reason why it has not been opened for a long time, in Malvisa's words, is that the entire tower does not have defensive power, and it cannot be operated for the time being.

Now, all the various protective circles of the tower have been engraved by Malvisa, and it is very likely that it is for this reason that she immediately proposed to open the eye of insight.

"That's right." Malvisa sighed slightly, looked at the twinkling stars outside the tower with a complicated expression, and said slowly:
"You two should give this tower a name, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of that stupid wizard Evandel."

"Get up." Thorne turned his gaze to Anderina beside him.

This tower was originally given to Anderina by him, and it stands to reason that she is the owner of this tower.

"Actually, you are the tower owner here, so you should come." Andrina smiled slightly to meet Thorne's gaze, and shook her head again.

"Then it's called...the Emerald Tower." Thorn seemed to understand the true meaning of Anderina's words, so he remained silent for a long time before thinking of a pretty good name.

…………

Pushang Town and Xiacheng District.

The banks of the Emerald River at night are crowded with people walking, some people are listening to the rushing waterfall in the upper town, some people are looking at the sparkling Emerald River in the lower town, and some even sway with the music of the harp, like A pot of boiling and tumbling dumplings.

They mingled together, talking and laughing gradually over the rushing waterfall and running water.

Each of them seems to exude a relaxed mood from the inside out. Seeing these people, it seems that they suddenly understand what it means to enjoy life.

"Buzz!"

In the noisy atmosphere, the high tower on the West Cliff of Shangcheng District suddenly passed an invisible energy fluctuation, followed by a dazzling glare.

At that moment, the entire Pushang Town seemed to usher in the dawn of dawn in the darkness.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Why did the sky suddenly light up just now?"

……

The vision that suddenly flashed made everyone in Pushang Town stop their busy work and looked up at the high tower on the West Cliff.

Many people who were resting in the house also walked out of the room involuntarily.

At the top of the high tower covered with silver light, a fist-sized bright light shone.

It rotates tirelessly around slowly, as if escorting this beautiful town built on a waterfall, and like a lighthouse in the deep sea, guiding the lost to return home.

"The wizard's tower is ready to operate." Looking at the high tower on the west cliff, Torvi said, trying his best to maintain his inner peace.

The fact that the Eye of Insight of the Wizard Tower can function means that Pushang Town is no longer in a passive defense, because with this powerful detection method, they can clearly grasp the behavior of the enemy.

Intelligence is always the most important link affecting the victory of war.

"Indeed." Carlos quietly watched the flickering light with a faint smile.

The wizard tower is the war fortress that guards the development of civilization.

Today, Waterfall Town is guarded by the wizard tower, which means that their future road will go further.

"It's the wizard tower in Shangcheng that has been activated! We, Pushang Town, have our own wizard tower!" A knowledgeable player shouted excitedly among the quiet crowd.

As soon as the words fell, everyone reacted with excitement.

Apparently, most people know what it means to have a wizard's tower in Fallstown.

At this time, almost everyone saw the tirelessly flickering light at the top of the Wizard Tower, as if they had ushered in a glimmer of light in the deepest darkness.

They are a group of homeless aliens, most of whom have made Upper Falls their home.

In this precarious emerald field, after seeing the glimmer of light on the high tower, they seemed to ignite the eternal fire of hope in their hearts.

Because the wizard tower is their capital based on the wilderness.

At this time, a black spot floated out of the tower, and under the light from the top of the tower, the black spot gradually became larger, and finally turned into a figure floating towards the sky above the emerald river bank.

"It's Thorne!" A player with better eyesight instantly recognized the figure floating in midair.

"Thorn, the guardian of Fallstown!" Immediately, another person who reacted immediately shouted.

"Thorn, the guardian of Fallstown!"

As a result, everyone was boiling again, while shouting excitedly to the sky.

The shouts were louder and louder, and they all focused their excited eyes on Thorne in midair, as if welcoming the arrival of this guardian.

Thorn, the half-elf ranger.

The whole town knew all about him.

Not only did the brave ranger deal with the danger of the hobgoblin assassins alone, he even broke into the hobgoblin camp in the Forest of Tranquility, killing the hobgoblins trembling.

Moreover, in the past two months, in the face of repeated invasions by the wolf man, Thorne broke into the camp of the wolf man each time alone, holding two sharp swords, and killed the wolf man with his own strength. , The red flames of the camp can even burn until dawn.

Today, another wizard tower that radiates dawn is built.

For such a person, it is not an exaggeration to call him the guardian of Waterfall Town, because only this ranger who is usually low-key and extremely high-profile in combat can bear this title.

Under the blessing of the spell, Thorne floated in mid-air, looked down at the cheering crowd below, and looked at the excited faces. He hesitated for a moment, finally took a deep breath, and said to everyone:

"Once upon a time, we lived in a harmonious and beautiful world.

Now, although we are a group of homeless visitors from another world, we have re-established our own homeland with our own will and strength.

Therefore, we will never allow intruders to crush this hard-won life.

In the face of the invaders, we must take up arms to resist resolutely, and in this cruel world, we must embark on a pilgrimage path that truly belongs to us.

We walk side by side in the dark, and welcome the dawn together! "

……

The Silent Forest, the deepest part of Hruk's hobgoblin camp.

"Dear High Priest, have you felt the light of the tower?" The hobgoblin leader stepped into the temple and said respectfully to the shadow.

"Greetings to you, respected leader of the hobgoblins of Hruk." The black shadow stretched out his arms, bent his elbows, and put his palms on his chest, saluted the leader of the hobgoblins slightly, and then said slowly: "Two ways , a condition."

"Speak." The hobgoblin leader looked at the shadow.

"Wake up the sleeping one..." The deep voice of the shadow echoed in the temple.

"This method is inappropriate." The hobgoblin leader's expression changed again, and he directly refused.

"A follower of Mara." The shadow said the second way.

"The people of black blood..." The leader of the hobgoblin hesitated, and asked tentatively: "Is there no other way?"

"The Almighty is watching us." The shadow pointed to the sculpture of the goblin-like patron saint.

"Then please contact the followers of Mara." The hobgoblin leader was silent for a moment, chose one of them, and then asked: "Then, what are your conditions? Your Excellency the High Priest."

"The Tinder Project is officially launched." Sombra's voice became hoarse with excitement.

"I wish you a smooth journey." The hobgoblin leader bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

"Go slowly." The shadow once again saluted the departing hobgoblin leader with a strange gesture.

"Who the hell is it that makes the Almighty faintly aware that his priesthood is being threatened." Looking at the departing figure of the hobgoblin leader, the black shadow murmured to himself.

Winter City, the top floor of the Wizard Tower.

In the muddy eyes of the legendary wizard Kaladna who was sitting cross-legged beside the crystal ball, a brilliant light suddenly flashed.

Then, he got up and looked out the window, and after a long silence, he said slowly, "Did you feel anything?"

Tarling:

Unknown energy fluctuation detected!

Sources of fluctuations: Emerald Field, Upper Falls Town, Upper City, and the Tower of Evandel, a deceased member of the Time-Space Insight.

……

As soon as the words fell, a cold mechanical sound sounded in the wizard tower.

"When the first ray of hope lights up in the emerald field... it means that the god-making plan will be launched in advance." The legendary wizard Kaladna muttered to himself, and sat cross-legged in front of the crystal ball again.

He struggled and hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a platinum coin engraved with a floating fortress.

Kaladna tossed the gold coin in his hand into the air, and the gold coin, shining with platinum light, spun in a graceful arc in midair, and gently fell into the center of the already carved pentagram circle.

The moment it touched the magic circle, the pentagram magic circle immediately flashed a light blue light.

The platinum coin engraved with the floating fortress was slashed by an invisible force, and fell down with a crisp 'ding', motionless.

"Where is the turning point?"

Kaladna looked at the platinum coin that fell down in an instant, his old body became more rickety and weak, his ruddy face was as pale as paper, showing a look of malaise.

In this trance, he seemed to see scenes of phantoms in the shimmering platinum coins.

He saw the endless desert, the burning of countless blood and fire, and the torn apart continent...

In the end, the flickering picture freezes to the ruins of the coastal city.

"After all, I still can't hide..." Kaladna smiled as if relieved.

After an unknown amount of time in the quiet tower, the legendary wizard said slowly, "Call that little guy named Pardo over."

Tarling:

receive!

Connecting to Arcanist Pardo...
