Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 505 The Blade of the Walker in Another Dimension

The sun went down, leaving behind that lacquered backlight that turned the sky a lovely rosy color.

However, Thorne, who used to like admiring the sunset very much, is not in the mood to appreciate the beauty under the afterglow at all.

Obviously, something more important attracted his attention.

At this time, he was sitting on a relatively high rock in the valley, leaning against an old tree with a crooked neck, staring intently at a small dagger in his palm, his fingers gently rubbing the magic rune on the handle of the blade .

At that time, he frowns tightly and sometimes falls into deep thought, as if he is interpreting some obscure mystery.

Due to the coming night in the valley, a cool breeze blows, and the dense shrubs and weeds sway gently and make a soft rattling sound.

A quacking crow hovered above the bare dead tree, looked at the figure of the ranger under the tree, let out a desolate cry, flapped its wings, and disappeared.

After an unknown amount of time, Thorn, who was sitting by the tree, had a look of joy on his face, and he let out a sigh of relief.

He shook off a few leaves that fell on his clothes, stood up and stretched his numb legs.

Then, he looked at the dagger in his palm with interest, clamped it between his fingers, and moved his nimble fingers.

Immediately, the dagger flying at his fingertips drew afterimages that were difficult to catch with the naked eye in his palm.

Suddenly, the dagger flashing with magical aura disappeared into the shadow space of the shadow hand glove, and returned to the palm of the hand in an instant with a slight smile from the corner of Thorne's mouth.

As a ranger, he is not very proficient in the use of daggers. To be precise, he has never fought with this small weapon.

The reason why he can achieve this level of proficiency is entirely dependent on the dexterity of his hands and the legendary equipment on his wrist.

For Thorne, the sword is his best weapon, followed by the bow.

As for other light weapons, he has never been specially trained in this area.

In the final analysis, it is because a person's energy is too limited.

Even so, his swordsmanship skills are still far from that of a master swordsman, and his bow and arrow are in a situation where more than enough is more than enough.

If you want to master these two weapons, you must experience the silence of time before you can practice to great success.

Now that his swordsmanship has been established, as long as he continues to train according to the swordsmanship he has mastered, it is only a matter of time before he reaches the realm of a swordsmanship master.

Only this shooting skill seemed very embarrassing. The purpose of his trip, in addition to perfectly advancing to the hero level, was also one of his itineraries to go to the Northern Wilderness to find the Bow Monastery in the Lost Star Mountains.

Because there is the inheritance of the most exquisite shooting skills and Zen archery, and he naturally wants to try his luck.

Thorne fondly played with the newly acquired dagger, getting familiar with how to use it.

Although the dagger has many unexpected uses.However, he, who has mastered the Nine Swords genre, is not so dependent on this kind of weapon that relies on sensitivity to exert its greatest effect.

After all, in his opinion, this kind of weapon is still a bit too short, it is only suitable for close-to-hand combat and assassination, which is obviously not in line with his fighting style.

However, after he spent a few hours identifying all the attributes of this dagger captured from a fourth-tier hunter, he had to pay attention to it.

The total length of the dagger in his hand is about 15 centimeters. It is better to say that it is more like a disposable throwing weapon than a dagger.

However, in Thorne's view, the role this dagger brought to him is very important to him now, absolutely no less than other equipment on him.

This is a dagger with a spiral hilt, and the blade has serrated teeth with a conical point. If it is thrown suddenly, it will look like a sharp blade spinning and galloping during the flight.

In fact, this weapon carried by the fourth-order hunter was not used for melee combat. Its blade was not sharp at all, and it was difficult to draw a trace even on the big tree behind it.

Its function is more like a functional prop to keep people and save lives.

When holding this When using a dagger, you can clearly sense the force field barrier that blocks the surrounding space, and at the same time, you can also perceive the approximate location of the target's interdimensional teleportation.)
……

Thorne flipped his palm, and the dagger disappeared in his palm.

Facts have proved that his vision is quite good.

After the battle of the Mara hunters is over, it is natural to search for the spoils of the Mara believers.

And this weapon was found on the body of the leader of the hunters who was killed.

Since he has the professional characteristic of a swordsman "perception of magic", he can find and see the uniqueness of this weapon at a glance next to the hunter's corpse.

So he gave up other items directly and kept this weapon.

It can be seen from the attributes of the different-dimensional walker's blade that this is a magic equipment specially designed for teleportation spells and different-dimensional movement.

With this weapon, he can effectively target the life-saving teleportation spells of the wizards in the future.

For example, if the man in black he met at the hotel in Shuangta Town had owned this weapon at that time, it would be impossible for him to slip away before his eyes when the other party was about to teleport a spell.

Similarly, if he is faced with the enemy's blocked space and cannot rely on the shadow hand faction's teleportation skills to escape, he can also use this weapon to forcibly break through the space blockade and walk away.

In fact, for this kind of equipment that can block and break through space magic, Thorne has long been paying attention to this kind of magic item.

However, what made him depressed was that very few people in Seput City had sold such equipment, and if they wanted to buy it, they could only go to the headquarters of the Wizards Union in the middle of the mainland.

Unexpectedly, he actually obtained this kind of extremely rare magic item here, which can be regarded as making up for some of his fatal flaws.

With this equipment, he can deal with spellcasting enemies with similar strength, whether it is hunting or escaping, he can do it with ease, and he will not be led by the nose by the mysterious and unpredictable spells of the enemy.

After obtaining this equipment, Thorne, who was in a good mood, glanced at the afterglow of the setting sun that disappeared on the horizon, and then looked towards the direction of the valley, searching for the location of the elf banshee Kefla.

At this time, the silver dragon guards of the paladin general Avar had already left the valley, and the villages of the people of black blood and the corpses of the hunters were all burned down by the elven swordsman Lance, leaving only the smoke and smoke. ruins.

As an aboriginal resident who lived in a small village since he was a child, Elf swordsman Lance can be said to hate these hunters who slaughtered the village.

Although the revenge was avenged, he obviously did not plan to continue living here, so there was no need to keep these things in the world.

As for whether this convenient valley will be occupied by the ogres and hill giants of the Blighthead Mountains in the future, it is unknown.

Thorne searched around, but did not find the figures of the paladin Avar and the elven swordsman Lance, and he did not know where these two dull gourds were hiding.

However, he soon spotted the playful little banshee.

Beside a dense reed bush, there was a ditch that had already dried up. It was at that place that he heard the call of Kefla to play.

So he followed the sound and walked in the direction of Kefla's play.

In that ditch, apart from the little banshee, there are also a group of naughty little monkeys.

These cute little monkeys screamed excitedly with immature voices, which made his eardrums hurt from the noise.

Thorne was dumbfounded to find that the group of little monkeys were running up and down the ditch chasing the little banshee, like a group of fish gathering together but constantly changing directions.

But there is no river or fish here, just a group of naughty little monkeys playing with an elf girl.

Thorne also saw a skinny monkey running panting at the end of the line, which was obviously different from the other monkeys.

Apparently, this unlovable-looking monkey should have been transformed from a little devil, because there is nothing on Kefla's shoulder.

Just when Thorne was about to walk to the ditch, he suddenly found the witch Cecil sitting on a nearby lawn.

She put her arms around her knees, put her head on her knees, and looked in the direction of the little banshee with a smile.

Since Thorne didn't deliberately walk lightly, the female wizard quickly noticed the sound of him coming, and subconsciously turned her head to look at it, and then stretched out her hand to greet him with a smile.

"It's hard to imagine that this innocent and lively little girl was transformed into a banshee in her true identity." Seeing Thorn standing still and watching, the witch couldn't help but sighed with a smile.

The banshee gave her the first impression of being an undead creature cursed by the soul of an elf woman.

After these elves suffer the curse of banshee, only the pain of life is left. The curse gradually damages them, decaying their spirit and body, until they are transformed into undead creatures when they die.

When the witch learned from Thorne that her identity was a physical banshee, apart from being shocked, she felt an inexplicable feeling of sympathy.

"It can only be said that her luck is better. An accident was transformed into a physical banshee, which gave her self-awareness and learning ability. And because of another accident, she met the most important person in her life. This allowed her to retain her original innocence without restoring her memories of her life."

Hearing the other party's exclamation, Thorne looked at Kefla, who was helping a little monkey that accidentally fell to the ground, and saw her comforting the grinning monkey, and gently helping it with her little hand Rubbing the sore knee.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of the first time he met this little banshee when he was exploring the tower.

If Anderina, who was walking with him at that time, hadn't shown great kindness and wanted to keep her, then this lively little girl would definitely become his ghost under the sword.

"This kind of carefree life is really yearning." The female wizard looked at the little banshee frolicking among the monkeys, and said enviously.

"Aren't you just like her? For you, there is nothing to envy." Thorn glanced at her, his expression changed, and he replied abruptly.

Hearing Thorne's words, the sorceress Cecil was taken aback for a moment, then sighed softly, with a bitter smile on the corner of her mouth: "I didn't expect you to see it."

"So, in fact, you died in the disaster three years ago." Hearing the other party's confession, Thorn became interested and tentatively expressed his guess.

"How should I put it? This matter is much more complicated than imagined." Sitting on the lawn, the witch Cécile seemed to be touched by some painful memory when she heard Thorne's words.

I saw her rubbing her forehead, brushing her messy long black hair back, and said helplessly:
"Actually, this was my own choice, but it was implemented in advance because of this accident."

"Why did you make this choice?" Listening to the sorceress' voice, Thorne thought of the mind flayer Vel'Koz who planned to follow the way of the lich.

"Because I am very aware of my abilities, and I also know that I will never have the opportunity to advance to the Legend of Destiny in my lifetime. Now that I have come to this world, I don't want my life to end due to the passage of time, so I don't hesitate I have chosen this path with no end in sight, and I only hope to pursue eternal life under the blessing of immortality."

The female wizard Cecile's eyes moved to the little banshee playing in the ditch again. Looking at her innocent, lively and lovely appearance, she seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness and hope for the future.

"Then I wish you never lose your true nature on the path you choose."

Thorne understood what the witch meant, and wished her sincerely, before turning around and leaving without waiting for the other party to reply.

In the ancient castle in Twin Towers Town, he had doubts about the identity of this wizard player.

So after entering the valley, he took the opportunity to instruct Ta Ling to detect her real situation secretly.

The result of Ta Ling's detection really surprised him.

Thorne originally thought that this witch was at most a sequela caused by too strong negative energy due to her practice of necromantic spells.

Who would have thought that she was already in a semi-lich state, which can also be said to be between the living and the dead.

For this situation, Ta Ling's explanation is that, to a certain extent, very few liches can indeed retain their bodies like physical banshees.

For example, dedicating one's beliefs to an absolutely neutral undead god, the undead beauty Ye Yao.

This deity possesses an extremely perfect and gorgeous antiseptic treatment magic, which can make those liches who believe in him always maintain their appearance in life.

But Ta Ling did not detect any energy related to the power of faith in her.

Thorne, who couldn't figure it out, suddenly remembered that Cecile's teacher was Winster, who claimed to be a necromancer, and guessed the approximate reason.
