Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 424 Let's Have a Talk

At dawn the next day, the light was gray, the air was humid, and smelled of night rain and morning fog.

Thorne felt that he hadn't slept for a long time at all, as if his head was leaning against the weed-covered wall for a minute, and it was dawn.

A group of people packed their bags and set off in the direction of Pushang Town.

The troll old butler and the little wizard were talking and laughing together in the carriage, and the sound of Sigrit and Lilia playing together could be heard from inside the carriage from time to time. Only Thorn walked in front of the carriage silently and opened the way.

They walked along the bumpy path, through the green grass and bushes, over the silver puddles left by the middle of the night, and over the soft ferns, all the way unimpeded.

A frightened deer disappeared into the bushes, and the black and white patterns flashed past, but it didn't know that a leopard with muscles all over its body flowing back and forth like waves was silently following behind.

Birds flew off the branches, colorful grouse and bee-eaters, and screeching wild peacocks, which were ridiculously tail-dragging.

Two kobolds who attempted to steal eggs were having a heated fight with a ferocious old hen in the bushes.But no one disturbs them, and no one will bet on them.

……

I have to say that this safe and worry-free trip made people very comfortable, so that the little wizard and the troll old butler laughed heartily from time to time, but all this was simply terrible for Thorne who was leading the way. up.

Yes, it sucks.

Now his impression of this wilderness suddenly became extremely bad.

From the moment he woke up, everything put him in a bad mood.

When did this bad mood start?
That's the moment you leave the compartment.

When he leaned against the collapsed wall and looked at the cold moonlight, although he didn't know how to appreciate it, he just wanted to take a look, but after a while, the large black clouds directly covered the only moonlight with shame. Cover up tightly.

Since he couldn't see the moonlight, he planned to lean against the wall and close his eyes to rest and spend this long night.

Who would have thought that a black bird with brown spots all over his body was hovering above his head and chirping non-stop,

Annoyingly, the goddamn bird was still shitting on his head, but he reacted in time and dodged it.

However, he escaped the bird droppings but failed to avoid the collapsed wall caused by his sudden standing up. A stone the size of a millstone fell and hit his instep, making him hug his injured foot and bounce around. Grinning for a while.

Fortunately, the pair of Dimensional Boots that Anderina gave him are made of flashing dog fur. The magic equipment is strong enough, so there is no damage, and he has just experienced the baptism of dragon blood, and his body is both strong and resistant to beatings. , without becoming limping.

Thorne thought that all these unpleasant factors were finally over, but he didn't realize that this was just the beginning.

The little black bird that had finished shitting was still hovering above his head, very annoying, and even threw small stones at him with its small paws, as if this person and bird had some kind of blood feud.

In order to enjoy a moment of peace, the ranger caught this little bird that was more wicked than the red copper dragon, and planned to reason with it, so that it would know that what it did was wrong.

This is a rare kestrel bird in the wilderness.

Although its life and death were already in the ranger's hands, the kestrel was still making the last tenacious resistance, trying to pierce and scratch his palm with its pointed beak and poor little claws.

Perplexed by the yellow, hostile eyes of the kestrels, Thorne eventually uses Talk to Animals to find out why.

After all, he is a ranger and also owns the animal domain, which means that he has a high affinity for small animals, so this abnormal bird aroused his curiosity.

It's okay if he doesn't understand, but when he understood the reason, he felt even more depressed.

It turned out that when I was dealing with Sigrit hiding in the birch forest, I unintentionally burned all the kestrel's spouse and children to death with the fireball technique.

How to do this?
It's not like apologizing for the kestrel's suicide, is it?
The ranger, who tried to persuade him to no avail, had no choice but to let go of this uncompromising poor bird, but the kestrel, who wanted to avenge his family's death, was stubborn. on the wall.

This iron-clad appearance made him unable to help but exclaim: Damn it!

After a while, the dark clouds that blocked the moonlight played their role, and the drizzling light rain responded to Thorne's mood, and it kept falling until the dawn was about to break.

After finally making it to dawn, he was about to have some arguments with the black dragon Sigrit, but before he could finish his sentence, he was punched in the abdomen by the opponent, making him feel like a boiled crayfish.

"You are the toughest man I've ever seen in this world!" Thinking of what the other party left behind, Thorne was so angry that his teeth itch, but he couldn't beat her, and the other party got into the carriage directly, which made his teeth itch. He flinched.

Then the old troll butler walked over with a smile like a thousand-year-old fox, patted him on the shoulder very affectionately, stared at him meaningfully for a long time, then turned around and packed his things while muttering "you're better off" kind of discourse.

He looked as if he was a late old man, but he didn't know that his troll age was not much different from his own.

Immediately afterwards, the little wizard Pardo also came over to join in the fun, staring at him with big innocent eyes as if he didn't know anything, and kept asking if he needed help.

Originally, Thorne thought that as long as he set off, nothing would happen.

After walking for a few minutes, he noticed the movement of the bushes while he was opening the way ahead, and out of vigilance, he naturally chose to check it out.

Suddenly, two little goblins in scanty clothes were about to fight in the field. The female goblin was dragged into the bushes by the male goblin, and then the female goblin pretended not to do so, yelling there, like a little goblin just getting out of the river. He writhed and trembled on the ground like a fish caught in a fishing boat.

Therefore, the half-elf who was fed dog food by the goblins left without disturbing the good affairs of the two goblins.

After walking for a while, he found another shocking thing on the road leading to Horn Town not far away.

An ogre wearing the standard equipment of Horn Town did not know who it was learned from. Holding a few mandrakes, it knelt on one knee in front of a wandering bear in the wilderness, muttering something.

As for what he said, he couldn't understand, after all, he didn't know both the giant language and the goblin language.

The shy and shy bear was so moved that he evaded a few words on purpose, and then the irritable and impatient ogre saw that the other party disagreed, so he threw the mandrake in his hand and jumped. Go up and wrestle with the bugbears...

Facts have proved that the feeling of rushing with a depressed mood is indeed not very pleasant, because as long as there is a slight disturbance around him, he can't help but want to go to check it out, and then exchange for an even more depressed mood.

So Thorne summoned a horse using the ranger magic.

He rode on horseback for a short time before he felt something was wrong again.

Accompanied by the horseshoe splashing water in the puddle from time to time.Thorne found that the mount he had summoned from the upper plane using the Ranger Divine Art was bouncing around and looking absent-minded.

After careful questioning, I found out that this little guy was broken in love, and he begged himself to give him advice on how to successfully catch a filly in the Animal Town of Wanshouyuan...

In short, his bad mood finally got better when he saw the walls of Upper Falls, the waterfall, and the tower on the west cliff.

As a result, Thorne, the owner of Fallstown, didn't realize at all that the two behind him came here for the first time to introduce them, and he didn't even notice that the two were looking around like curious babies, and then he kept stopping him for slowing down. urging.

He led them silently through the busy streets, and came to the steps near the junction of the upper city and the lower city.

Then, Thorne hesitated for a moment, and walked to the carriage.

Surprisingly, he happened to see Lilia coming out of it, so he stretched out his hand.

The half-elf girl looked at the ranger in front of her through the hair that blocked her view, then subconsciously glanced at his lips, smiled slightly, reached out and brushed the hanging hair behind her ears, showing her cheeks full of smiles, and hugged him His arm jumped down nimbly (although the help of this arm is dispensable to her), she took advantage of the opportunity to stick her body in his arms, and left quickly.

An impressive girly fragrance soothed Thorne's a little nervous heart, and then he glanced at the carriage with a sullen expression, thinking of the face of the little black dragon, he felt as if his abdomen was still aching.

"Sister Sigrit said she saw a group of bamboo rats performing and dancing, so she sneaked down a long time ago." Lilia shook Thorne's arm and explained.

"Let's go." Thorn, who was a little depressed, greeted, turned and walked towards the upper city.

The four of them walked through two tree-lined paths in the upper city and came to a fork in the road.

"Then... I'll go back first." Standing beside Thorn, Lilia had a lock of hair wrapped around her finger, and a pair of light blue eyes full of smiles stared at him, as if carrying thousands of meanings .

As for how much this unresponsive ranger can understand, it is unknown.

Seeing the girl's sweet smile, Thorne felt uncomfortable for no reason, and even had the urge to take her into his arms, but he finally endured it.

He hesitated for a moment, waved goodbye: "Go."

Under the gaze of the ranger, this lively half-elf girl gradually disappeared into the depths of the dense forest with light steps.

"It's gone far away." After a while, the old troll butler stood behind Thorne, coughed deliberately, and reminded with a smile.

The little wizard Pardo also looked away and secretly smiled.

The ranger who came back to his senses shrugged, and led the two of them along a path shaded by weeds, gradually stepping into the depths of the chattering bushes.

They passed through the resting place of many half-elves in Upfall, and through a wide clearing came to the gate of the Emerald Tower.

"There will be time to study slowly in the future, let's go in first." Thorne took out a talisman to open the door, reminded the two of them, and walked in directly.

The little wizard Pardo reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the tower and followed closely behind.

The old butler looked at Thorn's back with a look of relief and followed.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne led the two of them forward without any stop, and went directly to the highest level of the tower.

When the three of them reached the No.12 floor, he couldn't help being stunned by the scene in front of him.

He found two unexpected visitors, and they were also dark elves.

Thorne took a closer look and found that one of the drow women was covered in black wizard robes, only revealing a pretty face of ebony wood and a few wisps of dry white long hair.

is her!

"Hellist, the wizard of the Warlock Academy." Thorne recognized the woman's identity. The woman was standing facing the goblin wizard. The two seemed to be talking about something, but they were interrupted because of their arrival. .

Thorn turned his attention to another person, a drow man in coarse linen.

Seeing the appearance of this drow man, Thorn's expression became strange.

This person was the barbecue wizard he had met in the lighthouse town in the Underdark.

The barbecue wizard stood casually beside Helliste with a casual look. His pale red eyes looked around at the decorations and magic runes from time to time, smacking his lips in amazement.

Just when Thorn wondered why the two appeared in his own territory, Andrina, who had noticed his appearance, had come to him.

The waterfall-like long black hair, the red tunic dress and the smile on his face let him know that this was still the Anderina he was familiar with.

With a familiar fragrance lingering in his breath, Thorne's whole body seemed to feel refreshed, and the boredom of the whole day was completely dispelled.

Andrina smiled slightly, gave Thorn an affectionate look, then gently wrapped one of his arms, first nodded to the old troll butler, then looked at the little wizard, and said in surprise: "You are Winter City! What is the name of the little wizard in the wizard tower, Pa?"

Hearing Anderina's question and the mention of the Wizard Tower of Winter City, the goblin wizard Malvisa who was sitting on the chair turned around, raised the pointed hat that had never changed for thousands of years, and looked at the small Wizard eyes.

"That's right, my name is Pardo." Sensing everyone's eyes on him, Pardo nodded nervously.

"Paldo? Why don't you call yourself henpecked." Suddenly, an inappropriate voice said with a bit of yin and yang.

"Shut up!" the female drow Heliste in a black robe directly threw a fat chestnut on the male drow's head and yelled.

"Sister, how many times have I told you that I am a noble wizard, you can't knock my head, it will affect my intelligence, what should I do if I am stupid." With a head covered by short white hair, he retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Aren't you a barbecue seller? When did you become a noble wizard?" Thorn exchanged glances with Anderina beside him, and continued.

Thorne was a little surprised that this guy turned out to be Hellist's younger brother.

"You think I'm thinking, I'm living a comfortable life selling barbecue in Lighthouse Town. But what can I do, I'm not being dragged up by my old sister forcibly by the ears."

The drow wizard looked at his sister indignantly, and when he noticed her unkind eyes, he shrank back in fright.

Then trotted to Thorne, came to Pardo, slapped the little wizard on the shoulder hard, startled him, and then said pleasantly: "Little brother, do you still remember brother?"

After finishing speaking, he deliberately stroked the non-existent glasses frame on the bridge of his nose to Pardo.

"You...you are?" Seeing the drow elf's familiar face and familiar movements, Pardo blinked vigorously, pointed at him, as if a duck egg could be stuffed in his surprised mouth.

"That's right, I am, and now I'm called Aramiel." After the drow wizard finished speaking, he put his arm around Pardo's shoulder very intimately, and said with a smirk:

"How is it? Is spell easy to learn? Let me ask you, is the belt of the goddess of magic easy to solve, or our Olympiad problem is easy to solve. In fact, both are the same, the belt of the goddess of magic is the same as the Olympiad problem we usually do , if you can’t untie it, you can’t untie it, and there’s nothing wrong with crying.”

"..."

The little wizard Pardo looked at the familiar side of the other party speechlessly, and continued to remain silent.

"What are the two of them doing here?" Seeing the two muttering about the old days, Thorne asked Andrina.

"Malvisa invited them here, because when dealing with hobgoblins, the wizard tower needs the power of many spellcasters, and we have too few spellcasters in the Emerald Field, so we found these dark elves." Ender Lina explained to Thorn with a smile.

"What's the price?" Thorn asked again.

"Some magic knowledge from the Arcane Empire, and then let Malvisa accept this male drow as an apprentice, and stay in Fallstown forever."

"It seems that these people are also active in the dark area." Thorne glanced at the female drow Helist who had finished talking with the goblin wizard, and thought to himself.

Then, Thorne, accompanied by Andrina, came to the female drow.

"Hello, half-elf ranger, tower owner of the Emerald Tower, Thorn, we meet again." Seeing the ranger approaching, Hellist was not surprised at all, she extended her right hand generously, and spoke first road:

"Let's get to know each other again. I'm the warlock leader of the fourth Scourge family in Rezim, Helisite. By the way, our family ranking has risen to 45th. Thanks for your challenge in the arena for us. saved capital."

"You're welcome, this is a mutually beneficial transaction, and there is nothing to be thankful for." Thorn briefly shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile: "We have to deal with the Hobgoblin Heruk in the Emerald Field. Rely on you, the warlock leader."

"Don't worry, all the spellcasters of the Fourth Scourge family will do their best to help you win this war, just like we did last time." Helliste glanced at the silent goblin wizard and said with a smile: "I won't bother you, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, he went to his brother and explained a few words, then turned and left.

Seeing the female drow leave, Thorne held the space ring obtained from the plane of the seer in his palm, and told everyone: "Please go out first, I have something important to do with Malvey." Ms. Sha to discuss."

When everyone heard this, the male drow, Alamer, immediately dragged the little wizard and ran out. Obviously, they didn't want to stay here any longer.

The old troll butler took a look at Anderina and left.

"You go out first, too. I'm sorry, this matter is related to some secrets. If more people know about it, problems may arise." Thorne hesitated for a moment, patted the back of Anderina's hand lightly, and watched her eyes, said seriously.

Anderina was stunned for a moment, then suddenly recalled in her mind that the two of them had seen the phantom of the time-space observer appearing in a bottle together, as if they understood what he meant.

Then, she glanced at the goblin wizard who was sitting there very calmly, then smiled slightly at Thorne, turned and walked down.

"It seems that this trip has taught you a lot." Malvisa, the goblin wizard, slowly raised her head and looked at the expressionless Thorne.

"That's right, so I think it's necessary for the two of us to have a good talk, otherwise, I'm really worried, I hope you can understand." Thorn pulled out a chair, sat opposite the goblin wizard, and played with it in his hands. space ring.

"What if we can't agree?" Malvisa looked at Thorn with interest, and asked back with a smile.

"Then I will leave the Emerald Field forever with the people I think are important." Thorn was silent for a while, and said with a firm expression.

"You don't even want Fallstown?"

"That's right!"
