Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 366 Persuading the Red Copper Dragon

"Dragon?" Hearing that the lord of Iron Horse Town mentioned dragon, Thorne immediately became interested, so he looked at the lord and asked pretending not to know: "This dragon refers to..."

"That's right, it's the copper dragon that saved Iron Horse Town." Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town, sat opposite Thorne, frowned and glanced at the mess left by the druids, and said.

For this red copper dragon, he was originally grateful.

After Iron Horse Town was successfully established, all the statues, emblems, and even his knights in the town were named after the Copper Dragon, so that he would always remember this benefactor who saved them on a whim.

But who would have thought that this incident would be self-defeating, and instead let the red copper dragon stay in Iron Horse Town.

At the beginning, they were undoubtedly very happy to have a powerful dragon sitting in the town.

However, they didn't understand the red copper dragon's bad taste at all. When all the humorous cells in the whole town were squeezed out, they directly ushered in the miserable time of the red copper dragon looking for fun...

At first they thought they hugged a thigh, but no one expected that it was a thigh covered with sharp thorns, and it was also covered with glue stronger than the mucus of kuo-tao murlocs, no matter how you shake it, you can shake it not drop.

Since then, Iron Horse Town has ushered in the bitter days of the rule of the Red Copper Dragon.

He couldn't escape, so he could only hide in the room and shiver, and prayed secretly that he wouldn't be missed by the red copper dragon all of a sudden.

During the conversation between the two, the tavern owner noticed something inappropriate, so he hurried over to clear the table.

"Then what do you mean by coming here?" Thorn lingered on everyone's faces with interest.

He discovered a very interesting thing.

The faces of these people seemed to have been left with bruises. Although they had been healed by divine magic, he still noticed the marks of being hammered by small fists.

Moreover, the body of the group of people still exudes a faint smell of mud, which feels as if they have all fallen into a mud pit and then cleaned it up.

It seems that Iron Horse Town has really been a bitter dragon for a long time...

It can be seen from this that the people in this town were really bullied by the red copper dragon very badly, and their faces were all like bitter gourds.

However, the only thing that puzzled him was why they found him.

"Could it be that they rushed to the doctor in a hurry, thinking that I could help them deal with that chaotic and funny red copper dragon?"

Thinking of Thorne here, he immediately recalled the personality of the copper dragon introduced to him by the Night Lord, and the miserable appearance of the people in front of him, and he couldn't help but shrink his eyes.

Obviously, he was also a little scared, and he never thought that he could handle this dragon. He thought it was better not to participate in such a showy thing.

Unknowingly, Thorne had locked his eyes on the only wizard among them. Looking at the faint bruises on the other's thin, cold, pale face, his eyes suddenly became playful.

"Have you seen enough?" The wizard in a black high-necked coat sensed that something was wrong, and before the lord of Iron Horse Town could speak, he reminded Thorne in a cold voice.

Because he could clearly feel that the half-elf ranger's gaze was fixed on him all the time, as if he was laughing at him, so this wizard, who was sulking at the red copper dragon every day, was very upset.

There was even an urge in my heart to teach the other party a lesson.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something happy when I saw someone I knew." Feeling the wizard's malice, Thorne moved his body leaning on the back of the chair and changed to a more comfortable position. said the grim wizard.

He remembered very clearly that when he returned to Fallstown from Twilight Town with Tiefling's caravan, and passed by Iron Horse Town on the way, the wizard who had been deeply involved in the drama in front of him proudly mocked the people in Storman Town. Tiefling.

At that time, if the lord named Helm hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid the two sides would really fight.

Of course, the final result must be that the people in Iron Horse Town were wiped out, otherwise the lord would not have apologized to Stallman Town after discovering the wicked things the wizard had done.

"Have you seen me before?" The wizard's blue eyes looked at Thorne through his thin, hard pale face.

He wouldn't have come here if he hadn't received a summons from the tavern clerk, claiming that the Druid of Emerald Court had brought a very special guest.

Now, he was disappointed to see that the other party was just a half-elf ranger player.

Obviously, he didn't think anyone would be able to handle that wicked red copper dragon.

However, from the meaning of the other party's words, it could be heard that this ranger from Pushang Town had seen him before, which made him even more puzzled.

After all, he was a wizard, and he had never left the town since he returned to Iron Horse Town from the Wizards Union in the middle of the mainland.

"I've seen it once. Half a year ago, I was lucky enough to follow a caravan in Stallman Town. During this pleasant journey, in addition to meeting a lot of lizardmen, I also saw a lizardman who liked to lie on the ground. The belly laughing wizard adds a lot of fun." Thorne glanced at the other party with a half-smile, and talked about his experience in an orderly manner.

At the beginning, the reason why he and the caravan in Stallman Town were attacked by the lizardman was because of the wizard in front of him, and his purpose was very simple, just to avenge the night lord's wild laughter on him surgery.

However, facing the sneak attack of the lizardmen that night, until the end of the battle, an accident left him with the most profound pain in this world.

Looking back now, Thorne can still feel the tragic scene of the will struggling back and forth on the verge of collapse.

Although in the final result, he successfully absorbed the immortal evil from the bottomless abyss, and also allowed him to obtain powerful demon power, but this only proves that he is lucky, and it does not mean that he will forget the whole thing. The initiator of the incident.

Now, seeing the mastermind behind the incident that indirectly caused the bad incident again, it is natural to let out a sigh of relief and feel more at ease.

After all, he was almost killed by this guy back then.

"You..." The ruthless wizard instantly heard the ranger's ridicule. He was stupid and didn't know how to refute, so he could only stare at the other party with angry eyes, and the jeweled staff in his hand also shone with a faint magical aura .

What happened half a year ago was a taboo for him. People in the entire Iron Horse Town dared not mention it in private. Now it was directly revealed by an outsider in front of so many people. This is undoubtedly naked. challenge him.

——"One-ring spell: Tasha Laughter!"

As the magic material in the wizard's left hand disappeared, a small piece of cookie and feather disappeared, and the cane in his right pointed at Thorn sitting on the chair without anyone noticing, and an invisible magic aura struck him in an instant. .

For this spell, the spell-casting wizard was too impressed, which is the main reason why he wanted to learn this spell.

Since the ranger dared to laugh at him, let him experience the joy of laughing himself.

"Are you irritated?" Noticing the anger provoked by the other party, Thorne gave the other party a very unexpected look.

In fact, he just wanted to taunt the other party casually, and didn't intend to do anything. He didn't expect this guy's outburst to be comparable to that of Albert in Fallstown.

At the same time, when the lord of Iron Horse Town noticed something was wrong, the wizard's spell had already pointed at the ranger opposite.

His expression changed suddenly, and he was immediately ready to stand up and stop the wizard's absurd behavior.

"Zheng!"

However, what was surprising was that the moment the lord stood up, he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp sword being unsheathed, followed by a cracking sound like a cracking eggshell.

He is still very familiar with the second voice, because this voice is played between the wizard and the red copper dragon almost every day.

Why does it happen every day?

Well, you can think of it as another special hobby of copper dragons.

Realizing that something was wrong, the lord of Iron Horse Town quickly turned his attention to the impulsive wizard.

It's a pity that it's too late, the ranger on the opposite side has appeared in front of the wizard at some point, the sharp sword emitting pale blue light in his hand broke through the wizard's protective force field, and took advantage of the situation to rest on his neck, the sharp blade was still oozing There was a trace of blood.

"Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!"

Immediately afterwards, all the guards around the wizard drew their weapons, and looked at the ranger who was violently attacking with a hostile expression.

— "The shuddering stare!"

However, a scene that shocked all the guards happened.

When they all looked at the calm eyes of Ranger, they immediately forcibly triggered a Will saving throw.

What followed was a suffocating murderous aura overwhelmingly attacking them, which directly caused everyone to fall into a state of trembling.

They could only forcibly hold their slightly trembling weapons, and retreated one after another, and it took a long time for them to relax.

Obviously, everyone here failed the Will save.

"Mr. Thorne, don't be impulsive!" Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town who recovered first, quickly stopped the actions of others with his eyes, and then said to Thorne immediately.

"Randall, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Thorne!" Then, the lord of Iron Horse Town yelled at the wizard named Randall.

Regarding the origin of this half-elf ranger, he had already learned from the messenger of the Silver Raven in Jade Garden that a ranger who could come and go freely in the entire hobgoblin camp would naturally not be afraid of anyone in Iron Horse Town.

If the other party really killed Randall on the spur of the moment, it would undoubtedly be a very big loss for Iron Horse Town.

The most important thing is that it is very likely to disrupt the Five Towns Alliance plan proposed by the lord of Huang Twilight Town.

After all, this ranger's status in Pushang Town is almost a transcendent existence.

Moreover, the other party is his last hope to persuade the red copper dragon.

Thinking of this, the lord suddenly began to regret agreeing to Randall's coming here.

At the same time, I was also a little depressed why this ranger deliberately brought up this scandal of the other party. It was not an obvious intention to provoke him.

The matter of the red copper dragon was enough to bother him, and now he offended the people of Pushang Town for no reason. The lord of Iron Horse Town didn't know who to tell his bitterness in his heart.

"Since you are a wizard, you should stay in the room and study spells honestly, what's the fun here." Thorne took back his sword and returned to his original seat.

Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, he was not aggressive, but chose to accept it as soon as it was good.

The annoyed wizard touched the blood on his neck, and was about to attack the ranger on the opposite side again, when suddenly he was glanced coldly at him, and a deep fear instantly appeared in his mind, so frightened that he staggered back, almost unable to hold it. Stop the wand in your hand.

When he regained consciousness, he found that his back was wet with cold sweat at some point.

The terrified wizard Randall didn't dare to look at the ranger, but snorted coldly at the lord who was winking at him wildly, then shook his sleeves and left.

Seeing the wizard leave, Lord Helm of Iron Horse Town breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Randall is very strong as a wizard, he has an immature personality. This is a big flaw, and this matter once caused him a lot of headaches.

Moreover, he could clearly sense that this ranger seemed to have some grievances with the other party. It would be a good thing if the conflict ended and the other party's anger could be appeased.

"I would like to express my deep apologies for Randall's rude behavior just now, and please don't take it to heart, Mr. Thorne." Lord Helm of Iron Horse Town stood up and gave Thorn a slight salute.

Seeing that there was no sign of anger on the calm face of the ranger opposite, the lord of Iron Horse Town felt a little troubled, and then got up and sincerely apologized to him.

"Let's go back to the previous topic." Thorne glanced at the other party, without pursuing too much, and continued: "What is the purpose of you looking for me?"

"Of course it's about the Copper Dragon."

Helm sighed slightly, then gave a wry smile, then subconsciously looked up at the few little spiders weaving their webs leisurely on the ceiling, and then told Thorne the truth: "Mr. Thorne should have found the depression of the town when he came to Iron Horse Town." It's a sight."

"That is to say, you are rushing to the doctor in a hurry, and you plan to let me deal with that red copper dragon for you?" Hearing Helm's explanation, Thorne couldn't help being a little amused.

A red copper dragon with a legendary fate, the other party must think too highly of himself.

However, when he mentioned the red copper dragon, he suddenly thought of a method worth trying, maybe he could really get it done.

"Forget it. After all, our entire Iron Horse Town has tried many methods, but we can't satisfy the evil taste of this red copper dragon and persuade the other party to leave. We really have no choice. If this continues, Iron Horse Town will soon be destroyed. It will be dragged down by the copper dragon."

Helm didn't care about Thorne's slightly teasing eyes, but said to him very helplessly:
"Besides, your strength is able to come and go freely against the hobgoblins in the Forest of Tranquility. It must be something that none of us can match. Therefore, on behalf of everyone in Iron Horse Town, I implore Thorne to try it first. Persuade that red copper dragon to leave Iron Horse Town."

"Don't say compliments, don't talk about my current strength, even if I reach the Legend of Destiny, I can only take a break from facing the Red Copper Dragon." Thorn waved his hand and said calmly: "As for persuading the Red Copper Dragon Long, I can give it a try, but..."

"Mr. Thorne has any requests, but it's okay to say." The Lord of Iron Horse Town's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly answered.

"You all must be very aware of the evil taste of the red copper dragon, so I can't help you with this favor." Thorn pondered for a while, met the expectant eyes of the other party, and said:
"If it succeeds, besides I need a reward, you also need to immediately participate in the hobgoblin siege of Twilight Town and assist them in fighting the enemy together."

"It's no problem to fight the enemy together. Even if you don't mention it, we will take the initiative to attack. As for the reward..." The lord of Iron Horse Town hesitated, and said helplessly:
"Mr. Thorne doesn't know that since the Copper Dragon came to Iron Horse Town, the whole town has become the private territory of the Copper Dragon, and all the wealth in the town has been searched, so we really can't get this reward. shot."

"It's okay, you can choose to pay in installments, isn't that a problem?" Thorne said indifferently.

Persuading the Red Copper Dragon, in fact, he is not 100% sure, since he wants to take a risk, he can't work in vain.

"Okay..." The lord of Iron Horse Town nodded in agreement.

As long as the red copper dragon is driven away, it is only a matter of time before it develops again, and he can still settle the account clearly.

For the lord of Iron Horse Town, the only hope now can only be placed on the ranger.

The reason why he found the other party at the first time was mainly because he made a deal with the Silver Crow Messenger in the Emerald Garden yesterday.

Please use this high-ranking druid to help predict where the turning point in Iron Horse Town will be with the magic of prophecy.

Although the predicted results of divine arts are very vague and contain many uncertain factors, among all kinds of one-sided information, the most frequent one is today's unexpected visitor.

Obviously, the so-called unexpected visitor should refer to the half-elf ranger from Fallstown.

He could only go to the doctor in a hurry and pin his last hope on the other party.

"Okay, then you guys go back first, I'm not absolutely sure about persuading the red copper dragon, so I need to prepare first." Noticing the hopeful eyes cast by the crowd, Thorne pondered for a while and said to them.
