Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 262: Sword Tomb

The group successfully passed through the ruins of the ancient castle. Under the leadership of Thorne, they found a winding path hidden in the bushes leading to the cemetery.

However, in the process of rushing to the cemetery, the atmosphere of the group of six seemed a little strangely quiet.

No one spoke, except for the soft 'rustle' sound when they stepped on the dense bushes.

Walking in the forefront was the goblin wizard Malvasia who was driving the warg. The warg walked very fast under her command, causing the footsteps of the people behind him to be almost at a trot.

A few steps later are the orc sword saint Kutaig and the dragonborn paladin Peo, who seem to have a good relationship and walk side by side. While walking, the sharp eyes of the orc swordsman lingered on the face of the paladin from time to time, as if there were some problems in his heart.

Next is the Druid Master Qingchen, who is alone and indifferent. Druid is also a profession that is closest to nature, and also has the characteristic of "walking through the forest", so the dense bushes can't stop him at all.

Hanging at the back of the team were Thorne, who was holding a long sword, and Andrina, who was a little lost. As Thorne walked, he slashed the bushes that were about to block Andrina with a sharp blade.

Just when the outline of the cemetery shrouded in mist and a tall stone statue holding a sharp sword appeared in everyone's sight, the figure of the goblin wizard Malvasa at the forefront suddenly paused, and then the pace of the wolf was in the goblin wizard. Under the control, it also slowed down involuntarily.

The dragonborn paladin who slowed down took the opportunity to start a conversation with the orc swordsman: "Mr. Kutaig, why do I always feel your eyes wandering on my face from time to time while walking this way? Are you interested?"

"You misunderstood, I'm not interested in your face." The orc Juggernaut shook his head in denial, and then seriously expressed his inner confusion to him:

"When I lived in the northern wasteland, I also saw several dragonborn races. Because the faces of this race are all covered with fine scales, dust can easily get into the gaps of the scales, making it difficult to clean.

So their appearance gives me the impression that they are dirty and sloppy, and even some dragonborn faces have a slimy feeling on their faces, which is disgusting.

But you can keep it so clean and tidy, I am wondering how you wash your face, do you use iron brushes every day when you wash your face? "

"You don't know anything about it. In fact, I'm shameless every day."

The Dragonborn Paladin laughed and blurted out when he heard the doubts of the Orc Juggernaut.

However, since the dragonborn's mouth appears to have a blunt short beak, when they laugh, in addition to judging from the tone of voice, the facial expression appears to be that the mouth is more open and the teeth are more prominent. a little.

As for other expressions, only those with keen eyesight can judge the changes in the other's heart from the turning of the scales on his face, the angle of his eyes, and the curve of his back.

Otherwise, the dragonborn race always gives people a feeling of indifference in the eyes of everyone. That's why this race always suffers prejudice and misunderstanding in the secular world.

This is why when a teammate of the dragonborn race exists in a team, it is most taboo for the dragonborn teammate to shout in the upcoming battle: Everyone looks at me and acts!

shameless? Is this a self-deprecating way for paladins?

The rough voice of the dragonborn was clearly heard by all the people behind him. Thorne, who looked calm behind him, paused involuntarily after hearing the words of the paladin.

So she looked at the sorceress beside her, noticed the slight smile in the other's expression, and couldn't help but reached out and stroked her smooth hair that was draped over her shoulders.

Ever since she was lectured by the goblin wizard before she left in the Unicorn Hotel, mocking her for not being able to dress up. Until now, Andrina's expression seemed a little haunted, which made him a little worried.

Now, finally seeing her natural smile again, Thorne breathed a sigh of relief in his uneasy heart.

Similarly, after hearing this sentence, the indifferent Druid Master Qingchen couldn't help but glance at the burly back of the Dragonborn Paladin, and then quickly retracted his gaze.

"Shameless?" Orc Sword Saint Kutaig was stunned for a moment, then stopped to look at him and said, "Are you laughing at yourself?"

"No, no, I made a mistake just now." Paladin Peo looked embarrassed, and quickly corrected:

"What I mean is that I don't have to wash my face every day, because I have a magic equipment enchanted with a "cleansing technique", as long as I activate it once a day, the dust in my body will be automatically cleaned up. "

"So it is." The orc swordsman showed a sudden look, and then said a little regretfully: "So there is a spell that is so close to life, "Cleanse".

To tell you the truth, in fact, when I was creating a character, I took a fancy to the dragonborn race at first sight. In the end, the reason why I didn't choose it was mainly because I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to wash my face, because I didn't want to spend most of the day. wasted on washing your face.

After all, the Dragonborn race, in addition to looking tall and mighty, also has additional bonuses of strength and charm, natural breath attack, and the whole body is covered with scales, making it have good damage resistance.

Last year I encountered a vicious dragonborn in the North Wasteland, and when he attacked and fought, a dagger thrown at him didn't even leave a scar on his face. "

"That's such a pity. If you chose the Dragonborn race and took up the profession of Juggernaut, it is indeed a very powerful combination. At that time, the two of us can work together to restore the lost glory of the Dragonborn race." Paladin Peo sighed with regret for the Orc Juggernaut.

…………

Listening to the conversation between the two as if they had met confidants, Andrina, who was behind her, subconsciously glanced at the goblin wizard who was driving the war wolf silently and slowly moving forward, and couldn't help but said to the ranger beside him: "Thorn , do you think that Miss Malvasia's behavior along the way is too strange."

"It's good to keep silent, so you don't have to listen to her nagging." Thorne glanced subconsciously, and then said indifferently: "I always feel that every time she talks to you, she Targeting you everywhere, did you offend her somewhere?"

"Let's not discuss this issue for now. I feel that her current behavior is very unusual. She walked quite fast just now, but when she was about to approach the cemetery, she suddenly slowed down. I seem to have encountered this situation once recently. "

Andrina frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Thorne: "Do you remember the day when the half-elf leader was about to die, and his animal companion Dire Goose came to look for you?"

"It's been so long, why did you mention it?" Thorne glanced at her, and felt a little uncomfortable when he was brought up with the sad thing.

"Miss Malvasia's behavior was very similar to yours. When she was about to reach the half-elf leader's courtyard, her footsteps suddenly slowed down." Noticing that Thorne's expression was wrong, Andrina took the initiative to take his arm .

"You mean there are people she knows buried in the cemetery?" Thorne glanced at each other again, although he was full of doubts, he was almost used to it now.

After all, the goblin wizard not only masters a lot of mysterious knowledge and the construction of wizard towers, but also knows a lot about his mysterious and unpredictable nine-sword system. If something strange happens to her again, he will almost subconsciously think that it is not very strange that the other party knows so much.

"It's already here, let's go over and see what's going on." Andrina noticed that the wolf driven by the goblin wizard stopped in front of a statue and pulled Thorne over.

Malvasia looked up at a ten-meter-tall sculpture whose entire body was entangled by vines, blurred by the erosion of wind and sand, and the pale red eyes hidden in the pointed hat became a little dazed. .

At this moment, her warg suddenly slumped on the ground on four knees, and she walked down, as if she felt the footsteps of several people behind her, Malvasa asked in a flat tone: "Thorn, you Do you know who this statue is?"

"How could I know." Thorne shook his head and continued: "Although this place is called a cemetery and many corpses are buried, I think it is more like a sword mound.

Behind this indistinct statue, there are many rusted long swords buried, these seemingly useless long swords, all the sword tips are all facing inward, and there is no sign of being surrounded by protective magic. "

He has been driven by curiosity a few times before, and he has not made any unexpected discoveries other than knowing that there is a sealed shadow passage hidden here.

As for the lost holy city leading to the dragonborn, it was also discovered in the depths of the sword mound due to natural phenomena that occurred in recent months, resulting in cracks in the ground.

"Look at the few rows of words below the statue, and you'll understand who this statue is." Malvasa looked at the statue and pondered for a moment, sighed, and said to Thorne.

"I've seen it before, but unfortunately, I couldn't guess who this majestic-looking sculpture with a long sword was." Thorne didn't go, but explained to her.

"They were born to fight. They have the heart of a lion, the speed of an eagle, and the strength of a dragon. For them, it's the perfect moment to let life hang over a shining blade." The goblin wizard stood where he was. He muttered to himself, then looked at Thorne: "That's the sentence... right."

"That's right." Thorne responded, looking at each other suspiciously.

"There are three basic occupations in the system of Nine Swords inheritance, and he is one of them: War Blade!" Malvasia gave a deep salute to the sculpture, and once again rode on the back of the wolf:

"As for the sharp blades buried in the sword tomb, they are all sidearms left by the sword saints who died in battle. It is indeed a good choice for them to guard the shadow cracks here."

After the goblin wizard Malvasha finished speaking, she walked towards the depths of the sword mound on her own.
