The midday sun was warm, and a long-tailed cat was snoring on a warm pyre soaked in sunlight.

"Crack!"

At this moment, there was a sound of leather boots stepping on dead branches, which made its furry ears tremble, and then suddenly woke up, turned around and jumped, and floated to the top of the pyre like a cloud of water, and immediately shrank back and raised the round , staring curiously at the half-elf ranger approaching it.

As the ranger got closer to the pyre, the long-tailed cat's taut body gradually softened, and the amber pupils that gleamed in the sun showed softness and meekness.

The Ranger glanced at the dazzling sunlight, and seemed a little uncomfortable, so he pulled down the brim of his hat a little, then threw his body on the pyre without hesitation, and the long-tailed cat jumped down from the height with a 'meow' , rubbed his body around the Ranger intimately.

Thorne straightened up, looked at the long-tailed cat who stretched his neck to tickle him, chuckled, and rubbed its dirty little head roughly, the arrogant kitten protested with dissatisfaction, and put it into action. In action, he turned and left with a slight jump.

The ranger who licked the cat did not chase, but took out a rag and a small bottle of ointment from the pocket of his coat, and took out a dozen blood-stained arrows from the quiver on his back, and began to carefully wipe and maintain. .

With the end of the unexpected encounter between the barbarians and the hobgoblins in the Serenity Forest, Thorne followed the remaining barbarians until he entered the sphere of influence of Twin Towers. When he saw a farmhouse, The barbarians who fled couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and chose to rest here.

More than 80 barbarian warriors survived a tragic battle, only 20 people survived, and almost everyone who survived had a tint on their bodies. Without Thorne's cover at the back of the team, they would not have been easy. to escape the pursuit of another group of Hobgoblins.

Thorne didn't ask about their group's identity, origins, or the purpose of going to Waterfall Town. All he knew was that the group should be a nobleman from Twin Towers Town, and they took the territory's personal guards with them. Go to other places to do things.

And in Thorne's attention, he made an unexpected discovery that the original identities of these barbarians from the extreme north were slaves.

The mysterious bard on the carriage, who was called the baroness or the mistress by the barbarians, and who has not appeared until now, should be the same player as him.

After all, "House of Flying Daggers" is too familiar to him. If he had not heard this impressive lute song in the Serene Forest, he would not have gone there with curiosity, and then out of sympathy, he would save this group of victims of the earth. The hapless **** of fine siege.

That is to say, a female player who seemed to be a noble lady led a group of barbarian servants. Without knowing it, she planned to pass through the Forest of Tranquility, but she was besieged by the Hobgoblins.

As for other things, he is not very clear for the time being, and in terms of Thorne's character, he has no interest in paying attention to these things.

His only purpose now is to rush to the town of Twin Towers, and then investigate the abandoned tower called the "Tower of the Dead". After the investigation is completed, he will report to the two harpist members of the Merikai Temple, that's all.

As for saving those people, in addition to curiosity, the main reason is for experience points and practice points, and to kill as many hobgoblins as possible, weakening the strength of the Heruk hobgoblin tribe.

Well, although these may seem a little trivial.

In this way, in the warm sunlight, when Thorne inserted the last arrow with a cold light into his quiver, and the long-tailed cat who had left came close to him again, there appeared not far away and did not let him. He was surprised by the two figures.

The noble lady who had been in the carriage, accompanied by the barbarian captain, walked over to him.

After all, Thorne saved the lives of their group, and they were busy running for their lives along the way. It was understandable that they were too late to thank them. Now they are all resting in this farmhouse.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Ranger. May the forest and the goddess of ranger be with you." The noble lady came over and glanced at the ranger who was shrouded in a black cloak, sitting on a pyre and stroking cats. With a slight smile, he politely expressed his thanks:

"For your kind help, a little courtesy is no respect."

As soon as the soft voice fell, the barbarian captain standing behind him walked to Thorne with a bag of gold coins, and handed it to him respectfully with his burly body half-bent.

Thorne pushed the long-tailed cat aside, got up and glanced at the other party, took the purse unceremoniously, and weighed it in his hand. Based on the weight of the gold coins, he guessed that there were about 500 gold coins in total, so he received them in person. Inside the dimension bag, he said, "I accept your thank you gift."

After finishing speaking, Thorne was about to leave. Suddenly, he felt the long sword Zhanmo shuddering slightly, and his expression was startled, and he immediately turned his doubtful eyes to the noble lady.

Only then did I notice the appearance of this female gamer turned noble lady. She was wearing a lavender top with a stand-up collar and tightly wrapped around the waist. The clothes were embellished with the mark of the nobles like some kind of flower crown, dark brown. Her long hair was scattered on both sides and her white neck was tightly covered. Against the background of this heavy clothes, her delicate face looked very haggard, as if she was recovering from a serious illness.

This female player is weird!

Thorne stared intently at the noble lady's face, moved his right hand to the hilt of the sword without a trace, and walked slowly towards her.

The noble lady noticed the unbridled gaze of the ranger and the footsteps that kept approaching her. Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and a trace of disgust flashed in her pale blue eyes. To disappear without a trace.

The female player turned away from the ranger and was about to turn away, but suddenly heard a soft sound of 'zheng', which sounded like a sharp blade unsheathed.

When she turned her doubtful gaze, she saw that the plain black scabbard on the Ranger's waist suddenly dwindled, and a scorching blade slashed towards her like lightning.

The unpredictable attack stunned the weak-looking noble lady, and when she reacted, the blade was already on her neck, and the scorching aura instantly raised the temperature around her. As for her long soft dark brown hair, it also emits owl smoke under the heat of the high temperature.
