Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 147: leader

"How can I feel that this Falls Uptown is deeper than the conflict in Twilight Town." Andrina followed Thorne's footsteps to the edge of Uptown, and said with a slightly helpless expression.

"No matter how chaotic the interior of Twilight Town is, after all, they are all a group of players, and their values ​​and identity are not much different, and with the ability of Sarayan, they can still restrain those who like to pick things up."

Thorne and Andrina walked to a bare rock, sat directly on it and waited for the arrival of the half-elf leader, then stretched out their hands to signal each other to sit down as well, and then continued:

"But it's different here. They are native residents, and they are also half-elves. This race itself is more sensitive to the outside world. They are a group of people who are not treated by humans and elf civilization and wander alone and eventually gather together.

In their growth, after experiencing so much cold violence, they naturally rejected other non-half-elf races from their hearts, which is doomed that the two sides cannot truly get along well.

In fact, it was a very advanced decision that the half-elf leader could make concessions and agree with the players to establish settlements at the foot of the mountain.

Originally, I didn't have much hope, but unexpectedly, the half-elf leader actually nodded in agreement.

After all, this is a world where countless intelligent races are fighting for the living space all the time. Without the guarantee of various interests, it is impossible for the two races to get along easily.

I thought that the relationship between the two parties might gradually improve over time. I didn't expect that after only half a year, the relationship would get worse and worse. I don't know what Carlos and Torvi did to hurt the world and annoy them. . "

"Then do you see what might be the cause?" Andrina asked as she sat next to Thorne.

"It's not clear for the time being." Thorne shook his head slightly, glanced at the empty road in the distance, and then said, "Wait for the half-elf leader to come over and ask and it will be clear."

"Are you planning to reconcile the conflict between the two sides?" Andrina looked at Thorne with interest, and said with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm not that great, in the real world, I'm just a very humble civilian, and the same is true here, the only thing I can do is to do my best to eliminate all attempts to threaten the safety of the town of Falls. As for other things... it's not my turn to worry about."

Thorne said slowly after a moment of contemplation.

An ordinary civilian who came from the real world may not be able to reconcile even the minor conflicts between two people fighting, and it sounds a bit ridiculous to try to reconcile the conflicts between the two races.

He still has self-awareness of his own abilities, and it is better to go to the wilderness and kill a few more monsters when he has free time.

Let Carlos and Verto worry about this kind of thing, Thorne thought to himself.

"Your identity belongs to our player group, and you are also a part of the original residents of Waterfall Town. If you want to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, it seems that only you are the most suitable." Andrina pondered for a while and asked Thorne. Analysis Road.

"Me? Let's forget it. I'm a stupid person by nature, and I can't speak eloquently, and I can't say hype. I'm afraid that the conflict will not be resolved by then. If the two sides fight again, the matter will become a big one."

Hearing the words, Thorne glanced at her, then shrugged and said helplessly.

"It seems that you still know yourself very well. Since you know your own flaws, why don't you find a way to correct it."

Andrina looked at Thorne's indifferent expression, looked stunned for a moment, and said in a gentle tone.

"This is not a fatal flaw, and there is nothing to talk about with the monsters in the wilderness. When I meet them, I always communicate with the sharp blade in my hand, so if I have that kind of spare time, it is better to practice fighting skills more. Thorne did not agree with the other party's proposal, told her.

...

After a while, in the small talk between the two, Thorne finally noticed the footsteps coming towards him.

So he immediately got up and said to Andrina, "The leader of the half-elf is here, let's go."

Then he looked in the direction of the road not far away. In the cluttered bushes, under Thorne's complicated gaze, a dark green figure that impressed him leisurely walked towards him.

Among the half-elves in the entire waterfall town, their elf blood basically comes from the moon elves.

This is the most common subspecies of elves on the continent, moon elves are more forgiving and adventurous than other elves, and of all elves, they get along best with their neighbors of other races.

Therefore, most of the half-elves' bloodline comes from the moon elves, and the same is true for the half-elves in the town of waterfalls.

The half-elf leader of the town of Falls is a priest who believes in the goddess of the forest and the ranger. Although he is nearly a hundred years old, his blood from the elves makes him not look so old.

The only thing that impressed Thorne about the half-elf priest was his short dark blue hair, which was very incompatible with his middle-aged appearance, because it was mixed with many white hair, which was particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.

Every time he saw the conspicuous white hair, Thorne always remembered very clearly what happened after his abdomen was slashed with a shocking wound by the gnoll's curved blade.

At that time, he was already in the dying stage, and the dim fire of life would be extinguished at any time. At this moment when his life was at stake, it was the half-elf leader in front of him who arrived in time and used the power of magic to save his life.

On the other hand, the half-elf leader lost a lot of vitality because of the excessive overdraft of divine arts. The mottled white hair is the best proof.

In this real world, the priest's healing magic is not as immediate as the players imagined. As long as the light of the pale-white magic shrouds, even the severely injured body will become alive.

In fact, many of the priests' healing magic overdraws their own vitality, which is the main reason why most priests on the mainland are short-lived.

"Thorn, you shouldn't have come back. You should be like that unscrupulous Holart, disappearing into Fallstown forever and never coming back."

The half-elf leader's blue eyes with golden spots first glanced at the sorceress Andrina, frowned slightly, and then looked at Thorne, with an unquestionable sternness in his tone.

"Impossible, there are things I need to guard here, so I have to come back, Chief Oster."

When Thorne heard the words, he looked startled for a moment, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of the half-elf leader's words, but he still said solemnly.

"What needs to be guarded?" After the half-elf leader Oster repeated this sentence in a low voice, he sighed deeply and said to Thorne: "Since you are back, then stay here honestly. , it's better not to have any interaction with people in the lower city."

"Why? What kind of conflict did we have with the people in the lower city, which caused the relationship between the two sides to become so tense." Thorne asked in confusion.

"Actually, we didn't have any conflicts." Oster turned to look at the busy players in the lower city, and said slowly.

"Then why?" Hearing the half-elf leader's answer, Thorne was even more puzzled, not understanding what the other party meant.

"Since the tragic battle half a year ago ended, a lot of questions that puzzled me have all been solved." Oster turned his back to Thorne, his eyes still looking at the direction of the lower city, and said slowly:

"That battle made me understand that it was precisely because their appearance broke the original balance of Waterfall Town that it led to the joint attack of the Hobgoblins and the Lizardmen. If I hadn't been kind enough to take them in, there would have been no reception. A series of tragedies followed.

Poor Lilia, neither his father nor his brother would have died in that battle, nor would a naive and lively maiden become unhappy, all of this was caused by my kindness, I am The biggest sinner of the Moon Blade family. "

"Humanoids in the wild are capricious, no one can predict their true intentions, and their losses are also heavy." Hearing Lilia mentioned, Thorne's expression was dazed, and he walked to Oster immediately. soothed.

"You are wrong, child." The half-elf leader Oster shook his head. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the lower city and said:

"Before they came, there was a beautiful maple forest on both sides of the Emerald River. When the moon of rotten leaves came, the maple leaves fluttering in the wind were like colorful butterflies, flapping their beautiful wings, revealing in the autumn wind. The graceful posture, against the clear water of the Emerald River, presents a beautiful scenery.

But what about now? What I saw was a large number of felled maple trees, an endless stream of people, heavy city walls, neat rows of stone houses, and farmland everywhere. Attracted, resulting in almost no peaceful days in the whole town on the waterfall.

Didn't you find out? Before they came, when did our waterfall town suffer a large-scale invasion, those humanoids are not stupid, and they also know that attacking the half-elf tribe living on the cliff is a thankless thing.

But they are different, so we have to cut off any contact with the people in the lower city, and their life and death have nothing to do with us. After all, their arrival has caused us too much damage. Half-elves are an abandoned race. , we do this just to protect ourselves. "

After the half-elf leader Oster finished speaking, he was silent for a long time before turning to look at Thorne, his expression slowed down, and he took out a bottle of wine and handed it to him:

"Since this human woman is your friend, then bring her in with her. This is a bottle of Frost Wine, which was your mentor's favorite during his lifetime. Don't forget to visit him."
