Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 348 Taling
A holy symbol of exceptional quality.

Thorn put away the holy emblem, then carefully picked the blooming violets, and then walked towards the spiral staircase, preparing to leave the tower and ask the Druid Master Qingchen to help him cast the bouquet of violets that will not wither. The buff spell.

The magic spell "Big Stride" attached to the seal has the same function as the strengthening skill "Feng Xing" of the Desert Wind School, both of which can directly increase one's own movement speed by 20%.

In other words, under the superimposed effect of the two skills, the speed at which he can run at full strength can be said to be almost as fast as flying.

Generally speaking, this new divine art is not bad.

However, he is not a full-time priest spellcaster, and he doesn't use divine spells that frequently, so he is most optimistic about the 2 points of perception attribute, which is the most real benefit.

His basic perception attribute is 19 points, and with the blessing of the Moon Goddess Pendant, it just reached the critical point of 20 points.

Now add 2 points again, and it becomes 22 points, which is still a strong improvement to his overall strength.

After all, no matter whether it is the ranger's magic technique or the various moves of the swordsman, their power is determined by the perception attribute.

For him, naturally, the higher the perception attribute, the better.

Thorne walked down the spiral staircase and finally stopped on the first floor of the tower.

At this moment, the first floor was no longer as dark as it was when he and Anderina first came here.

Under the light of a few magical torches that never go out, the deep darkness has been dispelled.

Looking around, Thorne could see that in this empty hall, at the passage leading to the element pool at the bottom of the tower, there was a small house similar to a closed security hall.

Through the transparent glass of the hut, the mind flayer Vel'Koz can be seen standing there like a security guard.

That's right, the main task of Brother Squidward living here is to guard the gate of the tower.

In fact, this hut can be automatically lifted and closed under the control of magic. When Mara believers attacked the tower last night, it disappeared into the elemental pool at the bottom of the tower.

At the door of the small hall stood two motionless clay golems.

These two clay golems are the legacy of the high-ranking wizard Evandel.

Now, with the energy of the element pool, these two door gods can naturally play their due role.

However, since their challenge level is not too high, in order to prevent irreparable damage, they were not allowed to play in the battle last night.

Although Malvisa and Anderina's wizard level is too low to meet the conditions for making golems, they are already preparing for the golem army in advance.

For example, among the more than 100 gray dwarves he rescued from the Underdark, thirty or forty of them were selected with good talents, and they were practicing the carving and stonemasonry skills necessary for making golems.

When the two wizards meet the conditions for making golems, these gray dwarves will be responsible for shaping and assembling various construction golems, while the wizards will be responsible for the internal structure of the golems and activating spells.

At that time, as long as they have sufficient funds on hand, it is only a matter of time before they establish a complete golem army.

In this regard, Thorne had to lament that with the help of the goblin wizard Malvisa, the progress of the tower was developing rapidly.

Thorne glanced at Vel'Koz in the small hall, and walked over directly.

"I recovered from the battle last night so quickly." Noticing that Vel'Koz was carefully reading a book about portal knowledge, Thorne said with a little surprise.

In yesterday's battle, although he was the only one on the front line, the three of them also participated in it and played an indispensable role.

Vel'Koz's main task is to control and stabilize the energy transmission of the Wizard Tower.

Elemental energies will appear gentle and approachable under normal circumstances, but when they are gathered together and then used, they appear very irritable.

It is common for many unlucky wizards to die from violent elemental energy.

So, when he heard that Vel'Koz couldn't mobilize energy quickly last night, he took the initiative to bear the pressure on himself.

Even so, at the end of the battle, this guy was also backlashed by the irritable elemental energy, resulting in serious injuries.

However, he is not bad, after all, it is just some skin trauma, and the healing magic can be directly handled.

Among the three of them, the worst was his Anderina, who forcibly calculated the protective means of the high-level wither, so that she used her brain too much and fell into a coma.

After the battle with the hobgoblin was over, he stayed by Anderina's side until he woke up slowly the next morning, and then he was relieved to go about his own affairs.

"It's all some trauma, nothing serious." Seeing Thorn walking over suddenly, Vel'Koz was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile.

"Then you are busy, I will go out for a while." Thorne greeted, then turned and left.

"Rumble!"

The gate of the tower was directly sensed the moment Thorn approached, and then slowly opened. This is the benefit of having the authority of the entire tower, at least it is no problem to enter and exit freely.

Stepping out of the tower, Thorne admired the afterglow of the setting sun that was about to disappear on the horizon, and then walked towards the residence of Master Qingchen in the lower city.

Just two steps away, I bumped into the figures of Lilia and Sigrit walking towards me.

"Didn't the two of them go to the underground world? They came back so soon." Thorne muttered in a low voice and walked over.

"Oh! What a coincidence, I ran into you here, and we have something to look for you." Sigrit was the first to find Thorn standing not far away, so she took Lilia's hand and walked away at a faster pace. go up.

"What do you want from me?" Thorne cast his eyes on Lilia, who was following closely, and found that she immediately lowered her head, letting her hair fall down to cover her face, like a child who had done something wrong Same.

Lilia showed such a strange behavior, which made Thorne startled for a moment, and then guessed the general idea.

"Of course it's because..." Sigrit heard Thorne's inquiry, and directly spoke about the reason for their visit.

However, before she finished speaking, Lilia who was beside her touched the corner of her clothes and interrupted her.

"Brother Thorn, I'm sorry." Lilia hesitated for a moment, walked to Thorn's side, her tone was full of apology: "When the battle broke out in Fallstown, I, as the leader of Fallstown, because I was playful , did not rush to the battlefield in the first time."

Two months ago, under the leadership of Thorn, they reached a covenant with the people in the lower city. After the battle last night, the soldiers in the upper city did not organize immediately because of her absence.

The only good thing is that this battle was almost one-sided, so even without the people in the upper city, the hobgoblins couldn't make any waves and didn't attract the attention of others.

But doing so will definitely give the allies a bad impression, or make them complain about Thorne.

So, when she knew about it for the first time, she rushed back immediately and apologized to Thorne.

"As the leader of the upper city, you should pay more attention to your behavior. Be careful next time. The underground world is still too dark. It's better to go as little as possible. If you really want to go, please let me know in advance."

Looking at Lilia, who was deeply blaming himself, Thorne patted her slightly thin shoulder lightly. He said so, but in fact there was no sense of blame in his tone, because he believed that the other party could understand him. the meaning of.

"Yeah." Lilia relaxed slightly, and nodded solemnly to Thorne.

Although she likes the deep darkness of the underground world, and the feeling of riding a black dragon soaring freely in the dark area makes her feel like she has returned to the past, but she also understands what kind of responsibility she bears, and she cannot be a person who will only cause trouble .

Seeing the girl in front of him nodding seriously, Thorne responded with a smile, and immediately shifted his gaze to the black dragon Sigrit beside Lilia.

Obviously, the so-called fun should refer to Sigrit, after all, he still knows Lilia's character very well.

"It's impossible for this little girl to go to the underground world because of her love for fun. She must have been forced to go together because of Sigrit's soft-hearted pampering." Thorne thought to himself.

Noticing that Thorne's gaze was a bit unfriendly, the guilty Sigrit shrank her eyes in fright, and moved behind Lilia, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Strange, why should I be afraid of him? Why should I have a guilty conscience? Are you kidding me? I'm a dragon. I can kill him with one bite. His small body is not enough to fit my teeth. I'm afraid he's a little ranger." What are you doing, it's too embarrassing for the Dragon Clan."

Sigritte, who shrank her eyes, suddenly realized that her behavior did not seem to be in line with her true dragon style.

So she straightened up to Thorne's gaze, and then, like a proud big white goose with its wings spread out and its head held high, she gave him a hard look, as if to say what you are looking at. Such arrogant words.

Then he turned around and pulled Lilia to his side, and comforted him indifferently: "It's okay, Lilia, you don't have to be afraid of him, I will protect you.

If he dares to bully you, I can't beat him to death. Don't forget, he is the dragon knight pet that I pre-ordered, and most importantly, he can't beat me. "

Seeing the arrogant and domineering appearance of the black dragon, Thorne didn't bother to pay attention to her.

After all, if he can't say anything and can't beat him, what else can you do to him.

Seeing Thorn's defeated expression, Sigrit became even more proud, and her gaze at him became unscrupulous.

"......."

Lilia looked helplessly at the arrogant Sigrit, then turned to Thorne and said, "Brother Thorne, let's go back first."

After finishing speaking, under Thorne's gaze, Lilia dragged Sigrit to the depths of the bush.

In a quiet grove in Uptown.

Sigrit walked side by side with Lilia, she stopped suddenly while walking, her pale green eyes stared straight at the half-elf girl in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Sigrit's expression was wrong, Lilia turned around and asked in doubt.

"Do you have any knots in your heart that you can't solve?" Sigrit asked seriously.

She could clearly feel the melancholy in Lilia's heart, and she could also sense what she wanted, so since she came to Fallstown, she has been by her side all the time.

Because she saw something in common with herself in this half-elf girl, so why was she not like this in the past, even worse than her.

At least she still has Thorne who can care about her, but she is alone and shivering in a dark corner.

Fortunately, however, she stepped out of her shadow and lived a very comfortable life.

Now she only needs to take care of her beautiful long hair, picky stomach and those smiling eyes every day, and she doesn't care about her business when the sky falls.

In Thorne's words: she lived heartlessly.

"What does heart knot mean?" Lilia didn't quite understand.

"It means that there is something in your heart that cannot be untied, like a knot of rope." Sigrit waved her hand, and a thin rope appeared in her hand.

Then she explained, tying the rope into an inextricable knot: "Look, it's like this."

"No." Lilia was silent for a moment, then shook her head in denial.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it." Looking at the stubborn girl, Sigrit didn't care, but tied the knotted rope into a bow-knot and put it in her palm, and said with a smile:

"See, since there is a knot that cannot be untied, why don't we turn it into a beautiful bow."

"Okay, let's go, don't be in a daze." Seeing Lilia who was staring at the bowknot in her hand in a daze, Sigrit put it away, took her hand, and sighed as she walked: "Our life is not Lin Daiyu, so she won't be beautiful because of sadness."

As soon as the words fell, Sigrit realized again that she had really been infected with the bad habit of sighing because of spending too much time with Lilia beside her.

"This is not a good habit." Sigrit murmured in her heart.

She must get rid of this bad habit, and the prerequisite for getting rid of this bad problem is to get this melancholy half-elf girl out of the shadows.

"Who is Lin Daiyu?" Lilia put the bow tie away solemnly and asked curiously.

"Uh... how should I put it, it's the... heroine of a novel in my hometown." Sigrit rubbed her slightly curly blond hair with a headache, not knowing how to express it.

"Didn't you say that you just crawled out of the dragon egg, opened your dragon eyes and found yourself in the underground ruins, and then lived there all the time, then when did you find your hometown?" Lilia asked again.

"..." Sigrit.

…………

Inside the tower.

"Crack!"

Thorn came to Anderina's door, gently pushed it open, and walked in.

When he noticed that Andrina was wearing a snow-white pajamas and reading a book with a soft pillow behind her, he frowned slightly.

Then Thorne closed the door and came to the bed as if nothing had happened. He first inserted a bunch of violets into the vase on the table.

Then he turned around and took the book about astrology knowledge from Anderina's hand, threw it aside, sat beside her and said softly, "How do you feel? Does your head still hurt?"

"I'm still a little groggy." Andrina, who had her book taken away, was not angry, but leaned her delicate body closer to Thorne, with a hint of coquettishness in her gentle tone.

"You still read because you have a headache. You should rest more in the past few days, and think about other things when you recover." Thorn stroked her loose long hair and comforted her.

"Isn't this a bit boring, so I just want to pass the time, who told you not to accompany me." After Andrina finished speaking, she got into Thorne's arms very meekly, arching like a kitten. Arch, change to a comfortable position.

"What kind of logic do you have? You insisted on letting me plant flowers for you. Didn't I do so? Now you're complaining that I don't accompany you. You can't break me in half. I feel like I'm too It's difficult." Thorne gently stroked Anderina's cat-like soft back, pretending to complain helplessly.

"You're still reasonable, wouldn't you plant flowers for a while, and then come up to accompany me for a while? I didn't give you a death order. You must plant them all today. It's because you are too stupid and don't know how to change things. Look at the grievance on your face."

Andrina put her head on Thorn's chest, looked at his cheek, and said with a smile.

What she likes to see most is Thorne's cute and rich expression, which looks really interesting and makes her laugh every time.

"...Okay." Thorn couldn't help touching his still sore waist, because what the other party said seemed to make sense, why didn't he think of it at the time.

"Thorn, everyone is like this, and your hands are still so dishonest." Suddenly, Andrina noticed Thorn's pretending to be calm, but restless hands, and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"It was done by the hand itself, and it's none of my business." Thorne justified... confidently.

Andrina, who was leaning in her arms, gave Thorn a beautiful white eye, and suppressed a smile and deliberately asked with a pretty face: "You tell me honestly, did you treat me last night when I was unconscious? Move your hands and feet."

"The way you were in a coma yesterday terrified me, and I didn't even have time to feel sorry for you. How could I have time for that?" Thorn looked at the mischievous Anderina, and replied seriously.

After the battle with the Mara hunters ended yesterday, he immediately came to the twelfth floor of the tower. When he saw Anderina's pretty face as pale as paper and her semi-conscious state, he tensed up. There was a trace of panic in his expression, and it felt as if the whole world was going to go dark.

Only then did he realize that the woman in his arms was so important to him.

"That's more or less the same." Anderina's mouth involuntarily evoked a sweet smile.

Even though she was in a coma, it didn't mean she was ignorant of the perception of the outside world. Not only did she know that Thorne respected and cared about her, but she also vaguely heard him complaining about Malvisa.

As for her being able to successfully find a trustworthy reliance, Anderina felt that she no longer needed other pursuits, and it was enough to have him by her side.

Suddenly, Anderina seemed to think of something, so she looked up at Thorn and said, "I almost forgot to tell you. Instructor Malvisa said that she has something to ask for you."

"What is she looking for from me?" Thorne was taken aback for a moment, and met her gaze.

"It's about Taring." Anderina replied with a smile.
