"5000 gold coins?"

Thorne, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly paused when he heard the last words of Master Kairon, and then looked at the smiling old tiefling suspiciously.

It takes gold coins to build equipment and buy materials. Thorne is not surprised, and it costs a lot of money, which is also within his consideration.

The only thing that puzzled him was the price of these two small stones, which he felt was a bit... outrageous.

According to the memory conveyed by the demon's will, Thorne is still relatively clear about the general information about the abyss blood steelmaking and Bartleby's ironmaking.

For these two spar stones that are a little bigger than a fingernail, it will cost 5,000 gold coins. Thorne thinks that Master Kairon's offer is extremely unreasonable.

And judging from his smiling expression, Thorne increasingly felt that the old tiefling had no good intentions, and it was very likely that he was cheating on him, or had other purposes.

There is nothing unreasonable about this sentence.

"Don't underestimate the size of these two crystals, do you know what concentrated essence is?

This is after I have purified it many times to condense it to such a large size, it is completely enough to create your long sword. "

Master Kairon noticed Thorne's suspicious gaze, glared at him angrily, then smiled slightly, playing with the two spar stones in his hand and said:

"If you hadn't been able to find a suitable main material, do you think I would be cheaper for you?

After all, only the container of immortal evil can absorb them perfectly and exert their maximum value. If you don't believe it, take it and feel it yourself. "

Hearing the words, Thorne unceremoniously took two spar from Master Kairon and observed it carefully.

When the two spar stones fell into Thorne's palm, the first feeling he felt was heavy. The two spar stones were obviously dense, and the combined weight was close to that of his Dark Cinder Sword.

Immediately afterwards, there are different touches of cold and heat, and if the two spar, one black and one green, are carefully observed, they do have a crystal clear feeling, and no impurities are found.

Take the abyss blood steel for example, this spar is condensed from demon blood, metal and chaotic magic.

In countless years of precipitation, even if crystals are formed, there must be a lot of impurities left inside, but this one in Thorne's hands does not. The dark red crystal is as clear as water.

Obviously, Master Kailong's purification technology has done a good job.

It seems that this Master Kailong did not fool him, and 5,000 gold coins are indeed not a loss at all.

Thorne handed over the two spar stones, and said to him after thinking for a while: "Then I will ask Master Kairon for this weapon. I will bring 5,000 gold coins at noon tomorrow."

After Thorne finished speaking, he turned and left. Although 5,000 gold coins were a lot, it was still enough for him.

As long as he can strengthen his own strength, he is not stingy about spending too much money. For him, money is something outside the body, and it is a pile of scrap metal with him.

Scrooge is not for most adventurers in this cruel otherworld.

Because they are marching with death almost every day, maybe one day they will die, and then they will cheapen some **** and find someone to cry.

Therefore, converting all the money into one's own strength is the most correct way to open it.

The only thing that makes Thorne more regrettable is that after returning to Waterfall Town, the natural transformation ceremony of awakening the second-ring magic will be delayed again. These 5,000 gold coins are exactly what he is preparing for the awakening magic, and it is hard to save enough.

Now, his ranger level has reached level 6, and he has long been able to cast the second-ring magic, but if he wants to obtain the second-ring magic, he can only feel the sacred energy of nature with his powerful perception.

This is an extremely time-consuming task. Even if Thorne's current perception attribute reaches 20 points, if he wants to awaken the second-ring magic on his own, he must practice in the wilderness for at least a month.

This is why the rangers among the original inhabitants seldom have the ability to perform magic.

Most ordinary people with limited talent and ability do not have the elite template of the player, and few of them meet the standard of perception attributes.

This directly excludes most rangers. Even if the perception attribute reaches the standard, those rangers wandering in the wilderness can spend a lifetime just exercising their combat and tracking skills.

Therefore, for the original inhabitants, the ranger magic is generally turned to the study of magic when the body enters a period of decline, resulting in a significant decline in combat ability.

And the quickest way is to spend a lot of money, buy expensive rare materials, hold a natural transformation ceremony, you can quickly obtain the second ring magic.

That's how Thorne's One Ring of Divinity was obtained, and the ritual spent almost all of his savings.

If you really can't make up the cost of the natural transformation ceremony, Thorne can only consider getting it through practice.

After all, the cold wave on the Emerald Wilderness is about to come, when the land is white, and most people can only stay at home and shiver. For Thorne, it is a good place to practice.

"Young man, please wait!"

Seeing Thorne turn and leave without hesitation, Master Kairon was obviously stunned, and then hurriedly stopped him.

"Is there anything else? Master Kairon." Thorne turned to look at Master Kairon with a slightly embarrassed face, and couldn't help but wonder.

Could it be that the other party saw that he had agreed so readily and wanted to go back on it?

Feeling Thorne's strange gaze, Master Kairon felt embarrassed, and was obviously a little caught off guard by such a refreshing Thorne.

In his understanding, how could a ranger wandering in the wilderness have such a large amount of money, the other party will definitely be subdued by the money and agree to some of his demands, who would have thought that this half-elf ranger did not play cards according to the routine.

So he had to bite the bullet and said: "Actually, I need your help with one thing. If you agree, I can completely build this weapon for you for free, without any charge."

"Oh? Is there anything I can do for you?" Thorne said with a startled look.

"It's very simple, I'm very interested in the demon mark in your palm. I want you to stay in Stallman Town and let me study for half a month." Master Kairon cleared his throat and stated his intentions.

"I'm really sorry, Master Kailong, I'm afraid I can't do anything about your little favor." Thorne refused without hesitation.

Although you can get 5,000 gold coins by staying here for half a month, it sounds like a good choice, but Thorne is in a hurry to return to the waterfall and town, and he doesn't want to delay here for too long.

After half a month, the cold wave is almost approaching. This strange weather, even the Druid cannot accurately predict when it will come, and it will be troublesome to be trapped in Stallman Town by heavy snow.

Master Kairon was startled when he heard Thorne's refusal, but he didn't force it.

After a while, I saw him sitting dumbly on the reclining chair, groping for the pipe on the table, a dark red old face showing regret, and sighing with some regret:

"Really? That's really a pity. Forget it, maybe my obsession is too deep, so that's fine."

"Then this weapon is up to you, Master Kairon."

Thorne looked at Master Kairon, who suddenly looked like an old man, and some strange words. He was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask too much, but slightly possessed himself and saluted.

…

The twin Valens trees swayed in the breeze, and the leaves seemed to burn like clusters of flames on the branches. Under the shadow of the sun, they were dazzling and dazzling.

Thorne, who had been away from Master Kairon's room for a long time, had been sitting on a stone bench beside a twin Valence tree in the town.

Letting the leaves fall in front of him, he just raised his head slightly and admired the most beautiful scenery in Stallman Town.

"The rose that blooms is not splendid, but desolate." Looking at the beautiful twin Valens tree and the leaves falling like flames, this sentence suddenly appeared in Thorne's mind.

Then he patted his forehead and smiled at himself. He was obviously just a young guy in his twenties. How could he look more and more like a twilight old man who likes to sigh with emotion? No wonder some people say he looks like an old man.

"Sit here and watch the scenery?" At this moment, a voice came from behind Thorne.

"Yes, after all, such beautiful trees are only found in Stallman Town. If you don't take a look, you might have no chance." Hearing the familiar voice, Thorne did not turn around and responded casually.

"It's all done, when are you going to leave?" Andrina asked, sitting next to Thorne and removing a leaf from his hood.

"Let's set off at noon tomorrow." Thorne said, his expression paused, and he said to Andrina, "Anyway, I would like to thank you for your help along the way."

Thorne did feel a little warmth in his heart as he recalled the sorceress in the ruins of Taran and the help and care he had been given to him that night in the carriage.

A strange world is filled with strange people. For someone like him who is not good at speaking and expressing, it is destined to be difficult to make any friends. It is rare to feel this warmth.

"It seems that you are remembering it, I thought you forgot it long ago." Andrina chuckled and said not very concerned.

"Knowing how to be grateful is an attitude towards life, and it is also the great wisdom of life. Although we all live in a strange world, we still can't forget those who have helped you."

Thorne stared at a leaf in his hand, and said seriously, it was his attitude towards life, the reason why his camp remained kind even in chaos.

"Actually, to be honest, I don't really like your attitude of alienating everyone, because you are covering up your fragile heart."

Andrina turned to look directly at Thorne, and asked with interest, "Why can't you learn to share?"

Feeling Andrina's gaze as if looking directly into his heart, Thorne turned sideways and said, "The human heart is too fragile, it is safest to wrap it tightly."

"Sure enough, this is the same sentence. In fact, when you were in a coma in Talan Village that night, I already guessed it." Andrina still stared at Thorne and said slowly.

"So you're taking pity on me?" Thorne looked cold.

He was in a coma for nearly an hour that night, and he had a painful nightmare, and he didn't expect to be spied on by her. No wonder he always said some strange things to him.

"That's not what I mean, I just want to tell you that you have to look forward as a human being, you can't always be trapped in painful memories, delete some sadness, in order to accommodate more happiness."

Seeing Thorne's cold expression, Andrina said unhurriedly.

"So you've found your way." Thorne's expression slowed down, not wanting to worry too much about this issue, so he asked off topic.

"Yes, thank you for letting me find my purpose and direction in life in the future." Andrina nodded slightly and said seriously to Thorne.

"You don't have to thank me, I didn't help you," Thorne denied.

Thinking back carefully, from Winter City to the present, apart from bringing Anderina to Twilight Town safely, he really didn't help the other party, on the contrary, he received a lot of favors from the other party.

"But it's true that you took me out of Winter City safely and made me find the meaning of life. That's enough." Andrina patted Thorne's shoulder lightly and smiled.

"Then what's the point of your life now?" Thorne looked up and said.

The meaning of life?

The seemingly simple question actually contains a lot of things. Many players left in grief because they could not understand this truth, including Thorne himself who struggled in it.

This is not a shameful thing. As long as people with a conscience in their hearts come to a strange world that they can't go back to, they can't hide their longing for a certain place.

It's nothing more than someone looking at it, and then burying the longing in my heart deeply in my heart, and living on it well.

As for those who can't stand it, they either live numbly or choose to end this pain.

So, don't make time travel so beautiful as you imagine, when they really come to everyone, can you guarantee a strong life?

"The meaning of life...why should I tell you?" Andrina pretended to ponder, and then looked at Thorne with cunning eyes and said with a half-smile.

After speaking, he didn't say any more, and chose to turn around and leave.

The autumn wind suddenly picked up, and the bone-chilling coolness hit. The twin Valens tree was like a burning flame, and the dark red leaves swayed in the wind on the branches, rustling, and scattered all over the ground.
