Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 477 A Blue Pearl
There was a thin rosy morning glow in the east, and the rising drinking smoke from the roofs made the sky pearly.

In the boundless morning light, the crowing of roosters in the fishing village at sunset echoed each other, exaggerating the tranquility before dawn.

"Village chief! Something is wrong!"

With a panicked cry, an armored militia guard stood in front of the door, knocking on the closed door continuously, scaring a strutting rooster into the roof.

Work in a while.

The disheveled village chief Hade came out of the house with his coat in his hand, shaking his fat body.

"What happened?" There was a slight chill in the morning air, and the village chief asked while looking at the whitening sky while wrapping his thick coat tightly.

"There is something abnormal in Longyan Reef." The militia guard said in a low voice.

"Longyan Jiao." The village chief repeated, his face changed slightly, and he immediately asked: "What's going on?"

Longyan Reef is a group of reefs formed by a volcano. It is located at the end of the southwestern cape of Sunset Fishing Village. You can see its vague outline as long as you stand on the tower of the village.

None of this matters. The most important thing is that since the Sea of ​​Glory was connected to the Inner Sea of ​​Shadow Moon, a sahuagin tribe has gathered near Longyan Reef.

From the traces of battle left on the iron gate at the only entrance to the village, it can be seen that there have been countless conflicts between the sunset fishing village and the sahuagin in the past three years.

Although they were able to repel the sahuagin many times, these amphibious deep-sea devils lived in the deep sea, and it was impossible to wipe them out.

"Late last night, a storm suddenly rolled up near Longyan Reef, and then someone found many sahuagins gathering there." The militia guard said truthfully:
"Now, the vicinity of Longyan Reef is surrounded by thick fog. Until now, I don't know what happened inside, so I suspect..."

The guard didn't continue, but the village chief, whose expression changed drastically, had already guessed something, and said in a trembling voice, "Go and call Mo Green over here, and ask him to send someone to investigate what happened."

Hearing the words, the guard nodded in response, and hurried away.

Soon, a druid player Moglin with disheveled hair and a fur coat hurried over.

"Village Chief, what happened?" Mo Gelin looked at the worried-looking village chief.

"I suspect that the sahuayu people in Longyan Reef are likely to launch a new round of attacks here." The village chief Hade sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, looking worriedly at the calm sea.

"The sahuagin never choose to attack during the day, and today's weather is fine, we can take this opportunity to ask for help from Shuangta Town." The druid looked up at the rosy glow in the east, thinking for a while, Looking at the village chief to put forward his own suggestions.

This sunset fishing village located on the Shadow Moon Coast is one of the villages under the jurisdiction of Shuangta Town. If they encounter any trouble, they will call the town for help in advance on weekdays.

It only takes half a day for the guards from Shuangta Town to rush to support, which is the real reason why this small fishing village can stand still.

"To tell you the truth, Shuangta Town is now facing the threat of the Barren Skull Mountain Range. Our small fishing village, which only causes trouble for them most of the time, has actually been abandoned long ago." The village chief leaned his elbow on his side rubbing his temples, he said with a headache.

Facing the harassment of a small group of sahuagin, relying on the strength of the sunset fishing village, they can still resist it, but judging from the situation described by the guards just now, this group of sahuagin that can stir up a storm is definitely not that simple. There may be powerful sahuagin priestesses.

"Oh! That's right." Suddenly, the village head seemed to remember something, and quickly looked at the Druid in front of him and said, "Isn't there a priest from the Temple of Melikai in our village, we can ask her to contact you Temple rangers nearby."

"She left with her companions last night." Druid Moglin smiled helplessly.

He still has no idea why the half-elf priest left suddenly.

The only thing that is clear is that this pastor seems to know the ranger they invited yesterday, and there should be some kind of unclear relationship between the two.

It is said that the two chatted on the balcony for a while, and the beautiful half-elf priest left inexplicably with her companion, a little girl who did not attend the wedding banquet.

Keeping an eye out, he even purposely inquired about the reason.

Some people said that the ranger molested the half-elf priest, and even kissed her, and even claimed to have witnessed the two of them sneaking into the woods together...

Facing these increasingly outrageous rumors, the Druid seemed to be dreaming back to modern times. He smiled indifferently and treated it as entertainment after dinner.

"Then... isn't there another one from Pushang Town..." The village chief's eyes flickered, and he said pointedly: "Didn't you say that this Lord Ranger is from the same place as you, Maybe he can help us resolve this crisis."

"Let's go there and try it first, and if it doesn't work, we can think of other ways." Druid Moglin said, who was a little bit confused.

He only knew a rough idea of ​​this mysterious ranger from Upper Falls.

The other party lived in seclusion all day long and rarely showed his face. He could be said to be the most mysterious compatriot in the entire Emerald Field.

The village chief was able to invite this mysterious ranger here. For him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be unbelievable.

Therefore, he can only try it with the mentality of giving it a try.

Of course, if the other party is really willing to make a move, this abandoned sunset fishing village can easily resolve the crisis from the sahuagin.

After finishing speaking, the two walked towards the place where the ranger lived.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

There was a slight knock on the door, and a vague answer came from the room.

"Dear Lord Thorn, I am Ha De, the village head of Sunset Fishing Village. I am really sorry for disturbing your rest." Hearing the indistinct words, the village head exchanged glances with the druid beside him. Said in a respectful tone.

Immediately afterwards, there was a slight sound of getting up and getting dressed in the room.

After a while, the door was opened, and a bard Gilt wearing a light green jacket appeared in the expectant eyes of the two.

"Why is it you? Aren't you in the sheep....Aren't you resting in the woodshed?" Seeing the poet who came out, the village chief Hade stretched his neck and glanced at the room, only to find that there was no one there.

"Okay! It turns out that you arranged a sheep pen for me last night. No wonder I was wondering why I smelled a sheep smell when I went in." The bard who was about to raise his head and yawn heard it, and suddenly felt displeased. Happy, his expression changed, and he asked angrily:
"Didn't I just chat with that pretty girl in your village for a while half a year ago, why do you hate me so much?"

"Are you just chatting? Everyone who chats is like you, you shameless dirty poet." When the village Hader heard this, his chest wrapped in fat was angry with an unknown fire.

However, for the sake of business, he finally forcibly resisted the urge to kick up.

"Why isn't it chatting? I think the two of us had a good chat." Gilt retorted back without showing any weakness, and then provocatively said with a smirk:
"Besides, she's a little brown-haired beauty with slender eyelashes, and she's wearing a virgin hair. That little braid hangs all the way to her cute little ass. If you don't pinch it, it's a crime. So I couldn't help pinching a few times."

"By the way, why didn't I see her last night? Where did that little beauty go?" After the poet finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the Druid next to the village chief, and said brazenly.

"Don't be wishful thinking, she has become a trainee priest of the Temple of Melikai." Seeing the bard who had recovered his nature again, Moglin's affection for him disappeared without a trace last night, he said coldly:

"We didn't come to look for you, nor did we ask why you lived here last night, I..."

"I know, you're here to find Thorne, right?" Gilt leaned against the door frame, straightened the pheasant feathers on the yarmulke, interrupted the druid with a smile, and licked his ears again. : "I'm not sure, I should have left last night."

"Leaving?" Mo Gelin couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, and asked in doubt: "Aren't you two together? Why did he leave you here alone?"

If the other party really left, he could only find a way to deal with the sahuagin by himself.

He already regards Sunset Fishing Village as his only home in this world, so he must not just sit and watch it turn into a wave of sahuagin.

"What else is he afraid of? Even a beautiful half-elf priest..." Gilt seemed to feel that something was wrong, and he stopped it forcibly. Take it easy, just wait a moment."

After speaking, he went back to the room and began to pack his things.

Relax?

Mo Gelin and the village chief looked at each other, suppressed the doubts in their hearts, looked out of the village together, and waited patiently here.

But the druid always felt that the so-called "relaxation" in Gilt's mouth was not an ordinary distraction, but more like a certain meaning.

As the dawn sky gradually brightened, the golden dawn sent to the vast sea and this small fishing village. A figure walking out of the faint morning mist attracted the eyes of the two patiently waiting people.

Thorn, who walked to the door and was about to ask Gilt to go to Shuangta Town together, found two people standing at the door.

Taking a closer look, it was the head of Sunset Fishing Village and yesterday's groom who invited him here, and he couldn't help asking in doubt, "Who are you two?"

The druid player Moglin noticed the other party's gaze, and he found that the hair of this mysterious ranger was clean and clean, and he was completely unaffected by the morning fog and dew.

He still knows the climate in this area very well.

Because it belongs to the coastal area, the humidity is very heavy every morning, and sometimes the thick fog will gather until noon and gradually dissipate.

But the other party, as a ranger, was able to keep it clean and tidy without noticing it, which shows that the other party's strength is strong.

The most important thing is that this ranger seems to be approachable, but the calm and serious temperament exuded by the whole person makes him inexplicably feel the danger of not getting close to strangers, so that he dare not look directly at him.

So he could only bite the bullet and come out, "That's right, Mr. Thorne. It's mainly about the sahuagin..."

Before he finished speaking, Thorne reached out to interrupt him. He looked at the druid player who was drooping and didn't dare to look at him, thought for a while, and confirmed to him: "It's the one under the volcano in the southwest corner. A tribe of sahuagin living in the rocky reefs?"

"Exactly!" The druid was surprised, unable to understand why the other party knew that place, and he told the ranger solemnly:

"Late last night, the guards of the village discovered the storm rising there and the sahuagin gathering, so we suspect that the sahuagin tribe is likely to pose a great threat to the village tonight."

"Aren't you here very close to Shuangta Town?" Thorn immediately guessed the real intention of the other party looking for him, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

Sunset Fishing Village belongs to Shuangta Town, and they pay taxes to the lord of Shuangta Town every year, and Shuangta Town naturally has an obligation to protect the safety of the village.

Now, when he encountered danger and didn't want to go to Shuangta Town for help, he came to him instead, which made him a little curious.

"Now Shuangta Town can't take care of itself, so how can it control our small coastal village." The village head Hade smiled bitterly, and said with an extremely helpless expression.

"Then you mean to say, let me help you clean up the sahuagin from the reefs, is that right?" Thorne looked at the slightly embarrassed two people in front of him, and said bluntly.

"Exactly." Druid Moglin nodded in a pleading tone.

Having received the other party's own acknowledgment, Thorn frowned slightly and began to think.

The village chief and druid became uneasy when they noticed the ranger's expression.

Obviously, they were all worried that the mysterious ranger from Fallstown would not make a move.

Faced with the frustration of leaving the fate of the village in the hands of others, Druid Moglin vowed in his heart that after this crisis was over, he must bid farewell to his lazy and flat life and raise his level as soon as possible. Only in this way can we have the ability to protect this small fishing village along the coast.

"The storm last night was caused by me, and I have already cleaned up the gathered sahuagin." Thorn pondered for a while, then cast his eyes on Druid Moglin and said, "Since Twin Towers Town doesn't care about you, I think you might consider Fallstown."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the shocked expressions of the two of them, looked around with scrutiny, looked at the calm sea, and said:

"Perhaps in the near future, this place will become a good port. Well, if you have time, you can go to the town of Falls and take this token to Carlos."

Thorne took out a silver emblem ornament exclusive to Fallstown, and handed it to the druid.

When he left Pushang Town, he asked for a lot of tokens from Carlos, so that he could guide them in such a situation.

He gave Mo Gelin a meaningful look, and said, "Since you have established your own family here, you must take on the responsibility of protecting your family."

"Dear Mr. Village Chief, thank you very much for your hospitality last night. I was really impressed. So, let's say goodbye!" Thorne came to the village chief Hade and bowed slightly.

Then he walked out of the village with the bard Geert who just came out of the room.

"Have you figured it out?" After walking out of the village, Gilt finally couldn't help but make a sound.

"I figured it out." Thorne looked at the blue sea, Lilia's sweet smile and those beautiful light blue eyes involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"Oh, that's right. Do you know what the main content of the ballad "Blue Pearl" is?" Thorne asked curiously as the silhouette of the fishing village in the setting sun disappeared from the sight of the two.

""Blue Pearl"?" Gilt stopped in surprise, and then plucked the strings, preparing to sit on the soft grass and compose this ballad.

"I want an easy-to-understand version." Thorne emphasized solemnly.

He didn't want to listen to this complete poem with beautiful melody, because he had a premonition that it would be a very sad story, just like the mermaid abandoned by the prince.

"I really can't help you. Such a beautiful ballad didn't choose to listen quietly. Besides, the greatest poet and artist in the entire Corina Peninsula personally played it for you." The stinky poet Gilt depressed from the grass Sitting up, walked up to Thorne, and said:
"The ballad tells the story of a ranger and a priestess:
They met on the seashore, among the screaming seagulls, they fell in love at first sight when they met for the first time, they had a sincere love, and they ignored death, because even death could not separate them, let alone destroy this love.And the bond between them is a blue pearl. "

"However, I think you should also understand that the real purpose of the ballad is not to make people believe, but to move people." The poet added with a smile.

After listening to Gilt's words, Thorne was silent for a long time.

"I won't be as stupid as the pastor in "Blue Pearl", I will always wait for you."

The last words left to him by the half-elf priest came to Thorne's mind.

He involuntarily looked at a sky blue pearl with a milky white luster and a perfectly smooth texture lying quietly in his palm, the size of a soaked pea.

"Hey...you really have the heart to let her be a defeated dog?"

"roll!"

"okay!"
