Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 352 Succubus Paladin

As the sun disappears from the western horizon, so does the afterglow of dusk.

With a sharp sword in his hand, Thorne walked in the emerald fields overgrown with weeds. As his shadow was stretched longer and longer, the outline of Stallman Town gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

"Stop coming, report your name and purpose of visit!" On the city wall of Stallman Town, a tiefling warrior holding a bow and arrow noticed Thorn's approaching figure, and shouted vigilantly towards the bottom.

As soon as the words fell, rows of sharp arrows and a few explosive crossbow bolts appeared on the battlements instantly.

Thorn stopped, put the sharp sword in his hand into the scabbard, then lifted his hood, raised his hands to show no malice, and said:

"I'm a half-elf ranger from Fallstown. I'm going to Twilight Town. I happened to pass by here and plan to stay overnight."

"You are lying!" The leading tiefling warrior shouted angrily, and then all the bows and arrows were pulled into a full moon, pointing directly at the ranger on the ground.

"Oh? Then what do you want to express?" Thorne gently rubbed a protective ring on his index finger with his fingers, and looked playfully at the vigilant tiefling guards.

Five days have passed since I left Pushang Town and have been fighting and killing all the way.

So when he was about to pass by Stallman Town, he decided to rest here for one night, and took this opportunity to see the master Kairon who had helped him successfully enchant the weapon, and to confirm an idea in his heart by the way.

However, what is surprising is that the guards in Stallman Town seem to be unfriendly to outsiders, and their vigilance is too high.

Could it be because of those jackals from the Great Swordscar Mountains?Thorne guessed in his heart.

The jackals in the depths of the Great Sword Scar Mountains have been fighting the hill giants for more than half a year, and it's almost time to decide the winner.

From the number of wolf men he saw along the way, it can be seen that the wolf men were definitely driven down by the hill giant.

So, at this time, the town that is most threatened is undoubtedly Stallman Town.

In the past, due to the existence of the quasi-legendary magician, the night lord Anakeys, in Stallman Town, most of the wolf man tribes who rolled down from the depths of the mountains would rather take a long way than provoke this devil descendant town.

But it's different now. This magician wants to take the opportunity to completely break away from the control of the old ruler, the Night Serpent, when he advances to the Legend of Destiny. One's own strength becomes ineffective from time to time.

This directly caused Stallman Town to lose its most intimidating powerhouse. Those gnolls who escaped from the Great Sword Scar Mountain Range naturally set their sights on Stallman Town.

After all, the fastest route from the Great Swordscar Mountains to the Emerald Field is located in the Falling Dragon Canyon opposite Stallman Town, and there is only a calm Emerald River and the flat Nosir Plain between the two.

As long as the gnolls are not stupid, they will not choose to attack other small towns in the Emerald Field.

Therefore, Thorne thinks that the reason why these guards are so vigilant is that they are probably harassed by jackals.

If that's the case, he doesn't have to worry too much.

Thinking of this, Thorne quietly waited for the guards' words.

"The only way to Bugle Town and Waterfall Town has long been occupied by a large gnoll tribe, and they are guarding it tightly. It is impossible for you to pass." Said the plain half-elf ranger.

Although a skilled ranger does have the ability to travel through the wilderness alone, the location of the Gnoll tribe not far from their town is very special, and they also have abyss Gnolls with very powerful tracking capabilities.

He didn't think the ranger who claimed to be from Fallstown could break through the Gnoll's defenses.

After all, that group of Gnolls had already taken root for more than two months, and there were many scouting teams scattered within the defensive range.

In their small town, the demon hunting team, which claims to be the strongest in reconnaissance and hunting, was unable to break through the line of defense and approach the core area of ​​the Gnoll camp, let alone this half-elf ranger.

"You're talking about those gnolls blocking the way, I understand." After hearing the tiefling guard's explanation, Thorne smiled slightly.

Under the vigilant eyes of everyone, he reached out and patted the dimensional bag hanging on his waist, and two blood-stained packages appeared out of nowhere in his hand.

Then he dropped it casually, and the package landed on the city wall of Stallman Town in a perfect parabola.

"Open it." The moment the two bloody packages fell into the city wall, a pungent bloody smell permeated the air. The tiefling guards put away their bows and arrows, and carefully unwrapped the packages with their arrows.

"It turned out to be the leader of the wolf man and the priest of the wolf man!" The moment the group saw the hideous head of the wolf man in the package, they all exclaimed, and looked at the half-elf ranger under the city wall with disbelief.

They were all too familiar with the appearance of these two wolf men.

After all, these nasty guys have led a group of jackal men to attack their town many times, and everyone hates them.

What surprised them was that these two difficult guys were killed by the half-elf ranger.

Who is this ranger who claims to be from Upper Falls, and what is the purpose of passing by Stallman Town?
"Hurry up and call the members of the Demon Hunting Squad to see the real purpose of this half-elf ranger from Waterfall Town." The tiefling guard in charge was the first to regain his composure amidst the exclamations of the crowd. So he immediately whispered something to a subordinate beside him.

They are a group of excluded tiefling race, who will remain absolutely vigilant against any outsiders, especially those powerful adventurers.

Although this ranger helped them solve a hidden danger, it didn't mean that they would definitely gain the absolute trust of the tiefling race.

Ok?
At the same time, Thorne noticed the moment when everyone on the city wall was amazed, and immediately found that the progress of his ranger's heart in the advanced task had increased by 5%.

"Sure enough, as long as you do something in line with the characteristics of the ranger profession, your progress will increase." Thorne nodded secretly.

This is what he wanted to prove when he came to Stallman Town. After all, Ranger itself is a profession that mainly protects wilderness civilization.

And he killed the wolf man leader and the wolf man priest, which invisibly brought help to Stallman Town, which fits his characteristics of a ranger.

Starting from Waterfall Town until now, he has killed many evil humanoid creatures in battle. This process of enjoying the battle has directly increased his swordsmanship progress to 16%.

Now, the ranger's progress is also changed without conflict, which gives him some confidence that he can progress to the hero level quickly and flawlessly.

The only thing that puzzled him was why the Master Qingchen, who only had druids in his single profession, hadn't shown any signs of breakthrough until now.

Are there other problems?

Thinking of this, Thorne faintly felt that things were not as simple as imagined.

However, although he felt a little strange, he still needed to try it first before he could discover the problem.

"Dear Mr. Ranger, I'm very sorry. You were offended just now, and Stallman Town welcomes you." Just as Thorne was so dazed, the gate of Stallman Town was opened.

Sensing the still vigilant eyes of the group, Thorn didn't care, and walked in directly.

Not long after he stepped into the town, he noticed several familiar figures walking towards him.

Thorn took a closer look and found that these people were the members of the Demon Hunt Squad who had fought with him.

The only thing that surprised him was that there was another figure, and from the pace of the six of them, it could be seen that these five guys were faintly headed by her.

Just when Thorne was wondering about this woman with a peculiar appearance, everyone had already come to him.

"Hello, half-elf ranger from Fallstown, succubus paladin, Jessica." Immediately afterwards, the leading woman walked up to Thorn and introduced herself in a cold voice.

　This succubus paladin planted a foreshadowing when the protagonist came for the first time, but it was very subtle.
