Waterfall Shangzhen, Xiacheng District.

Facing the warm spring day, Thorne walked through the pleasant hustle and bustle of the street and followed a small alley to a humble stone courtyard.

"Yo, Thorne, what a coincidence! Are you here to find Carlos?" Torvey, who was wearing a gray wizard's robe, with his hands in his sleeves and a pipe in his mouth, saw Thorne's figure. Startled for a moment, he said with a smile.

"That's right." Thorne nodded and asked again, "Mr. Torvey, have I asked you to help me get the materials together?"

"Don't be impatient, I have already explained it to the Moonstone Chamber of Commerce." Torway reached out and took the pipe out of his mouth and said, "The Forest of Tranquility leading to Cyput City is not occupied by Hobgoblins, which leads to Trade routes have been completely blocked."

"Then you mean that if you want to get these things together, you have to wait until the hobgoblins are completely expelled." Thorne sank in his heart and asked Torvey.

How could it be so easy to drive away the Hulk Hobgoblin with the current strength of Pushang Town?

If this is the case, he will have to consider whether to go to Spoort City in person, after all, these materials are very important to him.

"I'm still in such a hurry, wait for me to finish my words first." Torvey walked over to Thorne and patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Although the trade route has been blocked, it doesn't mean that the people from the Moonstone Chamber of Commerce can't go back. I went over to ask this morning, and they have already arranged for someone to go back to Saiput City. So if there is no accident, at the latest one This week, everything you need will arrive in Fallstown, how is it, satisfied?"

"Then I'm relieved." Thorne heard the words, his expression relaxed, frowned and walked away the second-hand smoke fan, looking at Torvey and asked, "Are you looking for Carlos too?"

"Find him to discuss something." Torvi said with a smile: "It wasn't just two days ago that I won a battle with the Hobgoblin Heruk. Now many players who are wandering alone are starting to consider whether to join us in the town of waterfalls. Force, I'll come over to discuss with Carlos the follow-up issues.

After all, there are a lot of scumbags here who once insisted on quitting. At the beginning, we spent our own money and resources to cultivate them, but they left with a pat on the buttocks. Now that they are coming back, it is time to take care of them. "

Wall grass?

Thorne glanced at Torvey and understood the meaning of the other party. He heard Carlos mention this to him.

When Waterfall Town opened up the business road to Sept City, there were indeed many players who saw other choices in life. As a result, they all withdrew from the forces of Pushang Town and chose to develop elsewhere.

However, in this skinny world, many people who have withdrawn from the forces of Waterfall Town happily passed through the Serenity Forest to the sphere of influence of Sept City, intending to use their own abilities to join the forces of the original inhabitants. Seek asylum here.

The end result is that those who live in the original world and receive equal education, it is almost difficult to integrate into the culture and system of this world, just like a foreigner walking on the street, your every move is always out of tune with others.

As a result, you can often feel the eyes full of scrutiny, doubt and unease, and over time, they will gradually develop a sense of loneliness in a foreign land.

Even if some people can endure it, but without the strength above the extraordinary rank, they are still submissive, and they will even be excluded. Only a very few people can really get along in this world.

To this question, Thorne doesn't know how to answer. After all, everyone has their own choices. Some people like exciting and adventurous life, some people yearn for the powerful and want to climb high, and some people just want to pass the life in a dull way. lifetime…...

In the end, this is just an instinctive means of survival. They felt that Waterfall Town couldn't give them a sense of security, so they left. They felt that the life within the sphere of influence of Sept City couldn't adapt to it, and then they came back and that's it. Simple.

"Then why don't you discuss it first, and I'll go over later." Thorne thought for a while and felt that he still didn't participate in the discussion of this issue, so he left a sentence and was ready to turn away.

"Come on, let's go in together." Noticing Thorne was about to leave, Torvey hurriedly put the pipe on his mouth, grabbed his arm and dragged him into the courtyard with a smile.

He still likes the character of this half-elf ranger. Although the other party is more sensitive to everything and his personality is sometimes stubborn, it is fortunate that he has no scheming and carefulness, as long as the town of waterfalls is very in his eyes. Important, enough for them.

The only pity is that his camp is biased towards the half-elf side of Shangcheng District. Otherwise, if the land in Shangcheng District is developed, Pushang Town can develop more rapidly.

However, since Torway touched Thorne's bottom line, he has buried this matter deeply in his heart and dared not mention it again.

Pulled by Torvira to Carlos' courtyard, he met Albert who was coaxing the child.

Thorne's face twitched involuntarily when he saw the Storm Lord holding the baby in his arms and humming a little song. I really can't think that this grumpy guy still has this hobby, at least he doesn't like this little beast that makes his eardrums hurt, but he can't do anything about it.

Seemingly noticing Thorne's expression, Torvey looked dazed for a moment, and said a little sadly: "Albert has liked children since he was a child, and both of my children were raised by him."

"How old are you two?" Thorne couldn't help asking, feeling that Torvey's tone was slightly sad.

"Don't mention the past." Torway smiled and knocked on the forehead with a pipe, and quickly changed the subject: "Albert, come here for a moment."

Albert, who was coaxing the child, heard Torvey shouting, and was about to walk over, but suddenly saw Thorne's figure, his face changed a few times, and finally he bravely walked up to him, struggling through the gap between his teeth. Squeeze out a few words: "Thank you... for the... life-saving grace."

"You're welcome, don't be so impulsive next time you fight." Seeing the reluctance and embarrassment of the other party's expression, Thorne felt a little uncomfortable for him, so he waved his hand, and was too lazy to know the other party in general. Go into the room.

In this world, after all, strength is the most important thing. If he does not have strong strength, how can he be respected by others.

Then Thorne and Torvi walked into Carlos' living room and found that the other party seemed to have guessed that they were coming, and had already prepared tea and waited here for a long time.

"Just sit down." Looking at the two figures walking in, Carlos said with a smile.

Seeing this, Thorne sat down directly. When he saw that Carlos was pouring tea with a peculiar-looking teapot, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by the other party's words first.

"Thorn, what are the Saen Patriarch of Horn Town and the Orc Sword Saint looking for you?" Carlos poured a cup of tea for Thorne and asked casually.

"The Orc Juggernaut wanted to practice by the waterfall in the upper city. I didn't think it was a big deal, so I nodded and agreed." Thorne thought about it, and casually said a word.

"So, you can call the shots in Shangcheng now?" Torvey paused while holding the teacup, and asked curiously.

"How is it possible, the half-elves have their own leaders, and I have no right to interfere." Thorne didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's question, and shook his head.

"But as long as it comes out of your mouth, I'm afraid that half-elf girl will listen to you. I can still see that." Carlos sat on the chair and joked with a smile.

"I know that you have little knowledge about the development of the territory, and you are not very interested. If I can, I can give you some suggestions that are more beneficial to the future of the half-elves in the upper city, so that they will not tremble all year round. Hide in the jungle and live." Torway thought for a while and said seriously to Thorne:

"After all, the economy of the half-elves in Shangcheng District has developed, and it will be beneficial to our Pushang Town."

After listening to Torvey's words, Thorne's expression fluctuated for a while, he kept it in his heart, and turned back to discuss it with Andrina.

After all, it takes a huge amount of money to successfully build the wizard tower, and now there is really no means for him to obtain resources. If Shangcheng District really develops, it will be a good choice.

"Thank you for your suggestion, I will ask you for advice when I have time." Thorne thanked Torway with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to Carlos: "Carlos, you should guess what I am looking for you for today."

"Gimbatur City and the Red Dragon, right." Carlos stood up for Torvi and added some tea to Torvi, and said unsurprisingly.

And Torvey looked very calm after hearing Carlos's words, obviously he knew a little about this a long time ago.

"That's right." Thorne said straight to the point: "Now that the Hobgoblin's attack has been temporarily repelled by us, I think I can take advantage of this time to explore the lost holy city of the dragonborn race, and maybe I can get unexpected results in it. the benefits of."

"I think so too, and there is a Red Dragon player in Jinbatur City." Carlos sighed slightly and said, "I don't know how the Red Dragon player is doing. Since the mutation, There was no contact again."

"I said, why did you try so hard to bring me to Waterfall Town for development, so you raised a red dragon here." Torway glanced at Carlos unexpectedly, and suddenly realized.

"I also accidentally saw the information at the Zhanzheng College in the middle of the continent. It records that the former city of Jinbatul disappeared in the waterfall town area of ​​​​Corina Peninsula, and the birthplace of the red dragon player happened to be. Right there."

Carlos glanced at Thorne and continued: "If Thorne hadn't reminded me, it would have taken more effort to find it so quickly."

"What is the relationship between that Red Dragon player and you?" Thorne looked calm, took a sip of tea, looked at Carlos and asked.

"It's my uncle, I'm five years older than him." Carlos smiled awkwardly and said truthfully.

"..." Torvi glanced at Carlos with a strange look and said: "I knew it was him, I was wondering how such a popular game could be without his strange... Gaowan, it turned out to be the choice Red Dragon, it fits his character."

"Actually, my heart is very uneasy and tangled." Carlos put the teapot on the table and sighed.

"Are you afraid that your uncle is no longer there when we arrive?" Thorne noticed the other's expression and expressed his inner thoughts.

"That's right, when the game was still offline, he told me that the kobold tribe that offered him as a **** was about to be destroyed by the rat people, it's been more than a year, and I don't know how. That's it." Carlos frowned and said worriedly.

"You always have to face reality, but, in my opinion, with your uncle's... character, do you think there will be something wrong?" Torvey raised the teapot and got up to fill Carlos's teacup with comfort.

"That's true." Carlos said to himself, then looked at Thorne and said, "Son, the exploration of Gimbatur City can only depend on you, Yas and Chris want to train new members, and Torvey and I have been very busy recently, and the only people who can be drawn out are Master Qingchen and you, and you can arrange the rest yourself."

"That's right, Albert's character is not suitable for you to go to that kind of place. Your warlock girlfriend is not idle, and there is the orc swordsman who is going to practice by the waterfall." Tuo Ilvey reminded Thorne.

"It's alright, then when I decide when to leave, you can inform Master Qingchen that with him, a 10th-level Druid, it will save you a lot of worry." Thorne thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
