Journey to the Half-Elf Plane

The half-elves in this town are all familiar with each other. Some people comforted the couple, saying that there is no danger here in Silent Town and there is no need to worry about the little girl's safety.

Loki also followed the crowd, and walking next to him was little Adrian.

Although this younger militiaman lost a little ugly, he has a good character. He has some admiration for the outsider who is about his own age and talks to him about everything.

"I really hope the little girl goes home early, otherwise she won't be able to make it in time for dinner. I've never been so naughty."

"By the way, Loki, like you, they don't have surnames. Why don't they give themselves a surname?"

Loki nodded and learned from the information just fed back that the young couple's names were Ajernon and Pamela, and they did not have those strange last names.

There's nothing surprising about this.

In fact, at first, in Loki's view, half-elves with surnames were strange. Survival in this world was not easy, and even some of the poor humans in Mist Castle City did not have surnames.

They are generally nobles or the upper class with status, or civilian families with some inheritance or a little education.

Only these people will continue to pass on their surnames for reasons of tradition or identity. Otherwise, who would have the time to care about the length of their names if they are poor people living a difficult life?Is there a surname suffix?

Back near the center of Silent Town, Old Barney Longbow wanted to invite Loki to the Barrel Tavern to have some dinner and two drinks together.

Loki was too late to dodge him, so how could he agree to the request of an old man with mental problems?

After the half-elf boy persisted in pushing him away, the trainer finally let him leave in disappointment, but asked him to appear at the training ground south of Silent Town tomorrow afternoon. He still had many martial arts skills to exchange.

"Wait until tomorrow? Maybe you won't know who I am tomorrow."

Loki shook his head and decided that he would never go to that practice range again.

Not only is it a waste of time, it also doesn't help at all to improve your own strength.

……

Dinner was carefully prepared by the Annunciation Bird for him, including grilled and fragrant lamb chops, soft white bread, and a large bowl of fish soup.

It is said that this delicious river fish is caught from the upper reaches of the southern stream and is absolutely fresh and delicious.

Loki paid five coppers for this. The food was very cheap. The money seized from the thief Jarvis was enough for him to live comfortably here for a year and a half.

Returning to his room on the third floor of the hotel, Loki immediately felt something was wrong. Someone else pulled on his door.

He deliberately left a mark on the door. He glued two pieces of hair to the door shaft and the keyhole of the door. The dark golden hair on the door shaft had fallen off, and the same was true for the keyhole.

Loki took out the tactical claw knife he carried with him, and even took out the short-arm crossbow under his robe. He quietly set up the crossbow string, and then carefully used the key to open the door.

His left arm was raised to the front of his shoulder, and he held the tactical claw knife in his backhand. He took aim with the crossbow in his right hand and raised it to the position of his left arm.

The degree of caution in the movements is quite similar to the synchronization of police guns and electricity.

There were no windows in the room, and as it was getting dark outside, the room was already pitch black, but Loki was not affected at all.

In his low-light vision, everything in the room had clear green outlines.

He glanced around, carefully comparing the placement of all items with the images stored in his memory when he left in the morning.

But the strange thing is that there are no signs of anything in the room being turned over. In other words, no one entered the room except himself.

Loki felt a little strange. Finally, he put down the weapon he had been holding for a long time and looked out of the window.

He took the candlestick from the table in front of him and lit the candle.

Then he took out a small money bag from his arms and poured out all the coins in it. These were the relics of the thief Justin. Ever since Loki met the thief, he had never been short of money.

He put the coins aside, and Justin's money bag was made of thick deer velvet textile, produced in the broad-leaved forest area of ​​the Austro-German Empire, and was not something ordinary people could buy.

This high-end thick deer velvet fabric was touched by the flame of the candle and burned into a pile of fine black ash after a while, almost like dust.

Loki walked to the door and gently blew out the fine black ash around the door handle. Immediately, there were a bunch of marks left by small palms near the door handle.

This handprint was obviously left by a child, it was dirty and a little sweaty.

Based on comprehensive analysis, it seems that a child pulled the door several times and found that it was locked, and then found something to fiddle with the door lock. In the end, the door did not open, but it easily left traces.

Could it be another naughty child running around here to hide and seek?

Loki frowned, but stopped thinking about it.

He returned to the room, closed the door, and blew out the candle, the only source of light.

In this dark space, he moved his body a little and took out the familiar sharp claw knife.

Holding short blades in each backhand with both hands, the half-elf boy practiced a series of actions for intermediate dagger specialization.

His swift steps made no sound, making it easier to hide the killer move of the tactical claw knife in the darkness, and attack with the claw knife quickly and accurately.

There is only a faint sound of air friction, which can make people in the dark shudder.

Only through real combat can one improve faster. Rocky fully agreed with this statement. Although he faced opponents who were like living targets during the day, after several competitions and exercises, his capoeira (Brazilian war dance) became It has become 65% complete, with a small area improvement of about 3%.

Intermediate dagger specialization is a skill that he relies on for survival, and it also makes Loki pay more attention to it.

The good news is that the dagger specialization is a little borrowed from some of the dodge and dexterity moves of the Brazilian war dance, making him feel that his tactical claw knife is more flexible than before.

In addition, due to the actual battle with Old Barney during the day, those two explosive and precise fusion claw and knife killing moves can be said to be something he could not do before. At that time, he performed the intermediate dagger specialization at a super level. Look at it now, The skill completion level also increased by 2.1%, becoming 50.7% proficiency and perfection.

Even in the intermediate dagger specialization, he can complete some of the simpler basic dagger movements to a standard, even as good as the female dwarf Olivia.

On the floor of the room, a pool of sweat marks gradually appeared.

His movements finally stopped, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

In more than an hour of practice, he only rested less than twice. For a developing half-elf boy, it was not appropriate to increase the amount of exercise.

……

I don't know when, as it got dark, the town became completely silent, without even a sound.

Loki gently pushed open the wooden window. Except for a little light from the moon and stars in the dark night sky, the town of Silence became pitch black, as if it had fallen into the silent night.

Loki always has some doubts about this group of small town residents suffering from 'collective amnesia'.

There is also the trainer in Silent Town. Old Barney's severe psychotic delusions have further aggravated Loki's thoughts, and he plans to go out for a walk at night.

The half-elf boy quietly changed his clothes, and to be careful, he also carried all the weapons he had with him.

After checking that there was no problem, he left the room.

Then, he disappeared silently into the darkness.
