Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 2 - travel



Chamber of Secrets!

This is a kind of establishment for the convenience of some discerning guests to clean up or talk about some confidential topics.

In most noisy pubs or bars there will be such a facility.

The composition of this kind of room is probably to cover the roof and four walls with double linen cloth sandwiched with cotton wool, and the floor is covered with a thick blanket.

The tight-fitting door can only be locked from the inside, enough to prevent the most sensitive professionals from eavesdropping.

Of course, the effect is still far worse than the magic circle arranged by the casters. After all, it is an existence that can easily block even prophecy spells.

There was no light in the small dark room. Thorne, who likes quietness, sat silently on a chair, holding a small dagger in his hand, cutting an unformed arrow shaft.

This is a special tree from the southern kingdom on the other side of the Sea of ​​​​Brightness-Jedral Arrow Bamboo!

As the name implies, it was born to make arrows. It is a very successful product of arcane experiments. It will also have a slight thunder damage when it grows enough years.

It is rumored that the inventor, the wizard, Jedalal, almost exhausted the bamboo in the entire mountain forest near his residence, resulting in a barren land. For this reason, the natural wrath of the Druids was ushered in!

A fuse triggered a three-year-long war between wizards and druids.

Wizards focus on arcane research, druids are committed to protecting the natural environment, they always like to pinch each other.

This kind of arrow bamboo can reach a height of more than 100 meters. It not only inherits the tough and straight characteristics of ordinary bamboo, but also the most important thing is that it is solid!

It is the best choice for making javelins and arrow shafts. In places where iron ore resources are scarce in the southern kingdom, even if metal arrows are not installed, this kind of arrow bamboo is still very lethal to unarmored soldiers and professionals.

As a Jackpot Occupation: Ranger!

In addition to training excellent melee skills, Thorne must also have good shooting skills.

Making arrows is one of the skills he has mastered. Arrows are a very particular thing, and many elements must be considered.

For example, weight, length, sense of balance, etc., or you will lose your life if you are careless in this monster-infested world.

Accidents are often accompanied by a lot of danger, facing danger, will be greeted with cold death!

Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of his shooting, Thorne made all the arrows by himself, and his own use was the most convenient.

In the eyes of an adventurer, full-quality means mediocrity, but in this cruel world, specialization means that death is getting closer and closer to you!

How much water a barrel can hold often depends on the shortest piece of wood.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!

At this moment, a slight knock on the door interrupted Thorne’s movements.

Thorne was stunned, then said, “Please come in!”

Crunch!

Nolan gently pushed open the door of the secret room, and when she saw the room filled with darkness, she brushed up the strands of hair scattered on her face, and a trace of sadness flashed across her brows.

I saw her stretch out her fingers and gently spit out a syllable.

hum!

With a soft sound, a strong light erupted at her fingertips, instantly dispelling all the darkness in the room.

Nolan stepped in and closed the door gently.

Looking at the black figure and the familiar dress in front of him, Nolan sighed slightly, and the scene when the two fought side by side suddenly appeared in his mind.

The kobold camps, the city sewers, the underground tombs, the dilapidated church of the evil gods, etc. flashed quickly.

With a thought, the bright light on her fingertips slowly fell onto the unlit candle beside the table.

Then he walked over and sat on the chair opposite Thorne.

“Are you… okay?” Nolan looked at Thorne complicatedly, and after a moment of silence, he spoke first.

“Fortunately!” Thorne stopped the movement in his hand and replied, then raised his head and glanced at the girl in front of him.

A pair of big watery black eyes lit up under the curved eyebrows, and the long black hair that was scattered casually scattered on the white and tender face, still so moving.

Thorne looked a little lost, but quickly hidden it without a trace.

“Do you have anything to do with me?” In order to hide the embarrassment, Thorne focused his attention on the already formed arrow shaft in his hand. After trying the balance, he put it away with satisfaction and asked with his head lowered.

“This is the map you need, and I have collected it for you.” Nolan took out a black cylindrical leather case and placed it in front of Thorne.

Seeing the items on the table, Thorne looked startled, then glanced gratefully at the girl in front of him and said, “Thank you very much!”

The map of Toril’s world has always been what Thorne longed for. Unfortunately, these things are only possible in the temple. As an ordinary adventurer, it is too difficult to collect them!

At first, he just mentioned it casually, but he never thought that the other party would always remember it in his heart.

“Are you really planning to go to the Eastern Kingdom?” Nolan stared at Thorne’s calm face, as if trying to find the final answer.

“This is a promise and… a belief to live!” Thorne paused for a moment while holding the leather case, looked away from Nolan uncomfortably, and spat out these words slowly.

“Commitment and belief…” Nolan muttered in a low voice, refuting speechlessly, and then continued:

“According to the ancient records of the temple, in the chaotic and turbulent times, the Silk Road leading to the continent of Karatu was the main battlefield of the abyss demons, and there are still cracks in the bottomless abyss.

All kinds of monsters breed, even the powerful forces such as the Silver Blade, the Fortress of Atonement and the Northern Expedition Army of the Dawn are only struggling to support it, and it is almost impossible to pass through.

The Sea of ​​Scars was blocked by the storm again, and all land and sea routes to Karatu had been blocked.

No one knows the news about Karatu Continent so far, and it may have been turned into ruins in the turbulent era. I hope you don’t try to be brave when you are not strong enough, and it is also a good choice to live here well. “

Nolan looked at Thorne who bowed his head and said nothing, and the inexplicable emotion in his eyes flashed away, and then told Thorne the information he had consulted in the temple.

“Destruction? Impossible, but I have my own measure.” Thorne shook his head and whispered.

He tightened the leather case holding the map in his hand. He naturally understood what Nolan said. He was not an impulsive and reckless man, and the interests were clearly distinguished.

“This is a platinum coin, a product of the Arcane Empire. Maybe it contains a surprise, and I gave it to you.” Thorne took out an exquisite platinum coin, which was carved with a clear floating fortress, which shone a little bit. The eye-catching arcane aura, he put it in front of Nolan and said.

Platinum coins once flourished for a period of time in ancient times. Many ancient empires have minted them, and today they can only be found in ancient treasures.

Even though most people have never seen one in their life, it is sought after by many businessmen and nobles and has great collection value.

Thorne understood that Nolan must have taken great care to collect so many maps, and he didn’t want to owe anything.

If you give Nolan money directly, Thorne knows that she will not accept it because of her personality, and this platinum coin is just right, it can be used as money in an emergency, and it is also a good collectible.

“Then I’m welcome.” Nolan’s eyes flashed with a chuckle, and he immediately put it away carefully.

“Actually, I asked you to come here today to say goodbye to you. I am planning to travel far, and it may be difficult to meet again in the future.”

After the two sat at the table in silence for a while, Nolan hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

She is a paladin who has been inspired, and she also has her own persistent beliefs.

“Take care all the way!” Thorne was not surprised when he heard the words, as if he had expected this result.

“Then… goodbye by fate!” Nolan stood up and brushed his hair, pulling his long black hair behind him, and stretched out his right hand to whisper to Thorne.

In a world full of deceitful wizards, evil priests, bloodthirsty dragons and chaotic demons, the paladins are the last hope that never goes out.

An ancient oath drives her determination for justice and devotion.

Since the world has chosen her, she has to keep walking for her beliefs!

Thorne got up and looked carefully at Nolan in front of him. Although he didn’t have the allure of the country, he looked very beautiful. Under the soft light, his whole body exuded a faint dusty temperament, giving people a sense of tranquility. .

“Then…good luck!”

Holding Nolan’s right hand, Thorne stared at the other party’s clear and flawless eyes, smiled slightly, and sincerely blessed.

Watching the shadow of Nolan’s departure gradually disappear in his eyes, Thorne leaned on the chair and looked at the roof with some bewildered eyes.

After a long time… Thorne sighed heavily.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the image of the moment when this strong girl became a paladin appeared in his mind:

I feel the call and must answer, as always, live for honor and die for honor!

The passion for the pursuit of perfection, the will to uphold the law, and the power to repel evil!

The paladin is immortal, justice is immortal!

Ding!

Thorne opened the leather case holding the map, and suddenly a small item fell on the table with a crisp sound.

Thorne looked at the ring on the table with a complicated look and picked it up gently.

This is a silver-white ring set with a white crystal, and the crystal exudes a soft magic aura and bursts of warmth.
