Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 341: Emerald Tower

The last ray of afterglow in the sky disappeared, a round moon rose into the sky, and the bright silver splendor sprinkled all over the towering tower, covering the tower with a layer of moonlight like frost and snow.

The eleventh floor of the tower.

In the dim space, Thorne waved the two sharp blades in his hand at the same time, flashing a deadly sword light, the sword body danced with his arms, and the simple horizontal slashes and slashes seemed perfect.

At this moment, he has been tirelessly practicing his double sword attack skills in this spacious hall.

I don't know how long it took, a crisp sound made Thorne's galloping figure slammed.

"Ding!"

During long battles and training...

Your understanding of your personal expertise "Double Hands" has deepened again!

You have successfully mastered the personal expertise "Double Hands"!

...

[Double-handed (personal expertise): You can use your hands flexibly at the same time. You are neither left-handed nor right-handed. When fighting with two weapons, you will ignore all attack penalties caused by off-hand weapons. . 】

"Finally mastered this feat." Noticing the system prompt, Thorne, who was swinging his sword, immediately stopped what he was doing and put the two swords in his scabbard.

With the "Double Hands" feat, he will become more flexible when fighting with two-handed weapons, and this feat is the only one he has mastered through his continuous practice.

The biggest difference between the specialties that he mastered through his own hard practice and the specialties mastered through practice points or occupation levels is that he can fully exert all the abilities of this speciality 100%.

And the others, if you don't practice the day after tomorrow, you can only play about 50% at most.

This is actually the same reason that wizards and warlocks master spells.

By learning to master spells, wizards are naturally very skilled in using these spells, while warlocks rely on blood to master spells. Without acquired practice, it is difficult to flexibly control the power of spells.

Thorne, who stood in thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and immediately took out twelve gold coins and tossed them upwards.

Looking at the trajectory of the twelve gold coins, Thorne waved his hands in the air like lightning, passing blurry afterimages.

When the dust settled, he immediately spread out his hands, each holding exactly six gold coins.

Once in the underground bar in the Underdark, he was also agile at 21 points, unable to handle even eight gold coins, but now he is also agile at 21 points and receiving twelve gold coins, for him, it also seems relaxed and free.

The root cause of this problem was not only the "Double Hands" feat he had just mastered, but also the "Complete Repair" performed by the Seven Rings Divine Art to completely recover the dark wounds on his whole body, which also played a big role.

"The next attack feat is 'Whirlwind Attack'. "Thon, who thought of this expertise, suddenly felt a little helpless.

Because the "Double Skilled Hands" feat was a reminder of the expertise information he accidentally obtained when he practiced the "Whirlwind Attack" feat, which made him instantly realize that his physical condition should be very suitable for the "Double Skilled Hands" ability.

So he started practicing immediately, and after more than two months of hard practice, he successfully mastered it completely.

Now, more than two months have passed since the alliance with Carlos.

During this period of time, except for the gnolls from the Great Sword Mark Mountains who often attacked the town of Waterfalls, the Hulk Hobgoblin behaved very peacefully.

This allowed Pushang Town to have a stable development time under the invasion of gnolls, because these gnolls only needed him to be able to completely defeat them.

At this time, a burst of footsteps came from the spiral staircase, and Thorne's expression changed, and he immediately greeted him.

"Coming?" Thorne greeted with a smile when he saw Andrina walking over.

The eleventh floor of the tower was originally an empty room, so in order not to disturb the wizard in front of him to learn spells, he almost stayed here alone when he was free to learn the moves and continuous specialties of Nine Swords.

"Looking at how happy you are, is there any new breakthrough?" Noticing the relaxed Thorne, Andrina walked over to him and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Almost." Thorne, who had long been accustomed to Andrina's actions, nodded in response and asked, "Is there any important thing for you to come here at this point?"

"I can't look at you if I have nothing to do." Andrina smiled and gave Thorne a beautiful white eye, and then said around his arm:

"Ms. Malvasia asked me to tell you that the defenses of the tower have all been arranged, and the Eye of Insight can be opened, so let you go over there."

"Then let's go." Thorne heard the words, his expression changed, and he immediately took Anderina's hand and walked towards the spiral staircase.

Twelve floors of the tower.

The rooms on the highest floors of the tower are bright as day even at night thanks to the magic lights embedded in the ceiling.

The goblin wizard Malvasia sat on a chair beside the dark cyan marble table, her pale red eyes blocked by the brim of her hat quietly staring at a crystal ball that was suspended in mid-air guided by magic.

"Come here." Noticing the arrival of the two, Malvasia beckoned, but her voice was a little low.

"Thorn, do you know what it means when the eye of insight is activated?" Seeing that the two had come to his side, the goblin wizard looked up at Thorne.

"What does it mean?" Thorne and Andrina looked at each other and didn't get the answer they wanted, so they guessed: "Could it be because of the attention of a certain force."

In fact, the Eye of Insight has been made long ago, and the reason why it has not been opened for a long time, in Malvasia's words, is that the entire tower has no defensive power, and it can't operate for the time being.

Now, the various protective circles of the tower have all been engraved by Malvasia, and it is very likely that it is for this reason that it is convenient to immediately open the eyes of insight.

"That's right." Malvasia sighed slightly, glanced at the twinkling stars outside the tower with a complicated expression, and said slowly:

"You two give this tower a name, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the wish of the stupid wizard of Evandel."

"Get up." Thorne turned his attention to Andrina beside him.

This tower was originally given to Andrina by him, and it stands to reason that she is the owner of this tower.

"Actually, you are the tower owner here, you should come." Andrina smiled slightly when she met Thorne's gaze, and shook her head again.

"Then it's called... the Emerald Tower." Thorne seemed to understand the true meaning of Andrina's words, so he was silent for a long time and came up with a fairly good name.

…………

Waterfall Town and Xiacheng District.

At night, the banks of the Emerald River are crowded with people walking. Some people listen to the rushing waterfalls in the upper city, some look at the sparkling Emerald River in the lower city, and some even sway to the accompaniment of the harp, like A pot of boiled dumplings.

They mingled together, and the chatter and laughter gradually overwhelmed the rushing waterfall and running water.

Each of them seems to exude a relaxed mood from the inside out. Seeing these people, it seems that they suddenly understand what it means to enjoy life.

"Om!"

In the noisy atmosphere, the high tower of the West Cliff in Shangcheng District suddenly brushed a touch of invisible energy fluctuations, followed by a dazzling glare.

At that moment, the entire town of waterfalls seemed to usher in the dawn of dawn in the darkness.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Why did the sky suddenly light up just now?"

...

The vision that suddenly flashed made everyone in the town of waterfalls stop their busy affairs and looked up at the high tower on the west cliff.

Many people who were resting in the house also walked out of the room involuntarily.

At the very top of the tower, which was covered with silver light, a bright light the size of a fist shone.

It slowly revolves tirelessly around, as if escorting this beautiful town built on a waterfall, and like a beacon in the deep sea, guiding the lost home.

"The Wizard's Tower is ready to operate." Torvey looked at the tower on the West Cliff, trying his best to maintain his inner peace.

The operation of the Eye of Insight of the Wizard's Tower means that the town of Falls is no longer passively defended, because with this powerful detection method, they can clearly grasp the behavior of the enemy.

Intelligence is always the most important part of influencing the victory of war.

"Indeed." Carlos quietly watched the flickering light with a faint smile.

The wizard tower is the war fortress guarding the pioneering civilization.

Today, the town of Falls has a wizard tower guarding it, which means that they will go further in the future.

"It's the wizard tower in Shangcheng District! We have our own wizard tower in Waterfall Town!" A knowledgeable player shouted excitedly in the quiet crowd.

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was boiling.

Obviously, most people know what it means to have a wizard's tower erected in the town of Falls.

At this time, almost everyone saw the tirelessly flickering light at the top of the wizard's tower, as if there was a glimmer of dawn in the deepest darkness.

They are all a group of homeless visitors from other worlds, and most of them have made the town of Falls their home.

In this precarious emerald field, after they saw the glimmer of dawn on the tower, they seemed to ignite the eternal fire of hope in their hearts.

Because the wizard tower is their capital based in the wilderness.

At this time, a black spot floated out of the tower. Under the shroud of light at the top of the tower, the black spot gradually became larger, and finally turned into a figure floating towards the sky above the emerald river bank.

"It's Thorne!" A player with better eyesight instantly recognized the figure floating in the air.

"Thorn, the guardian of the town on the waterfall!" Suddenly, another person who reacted immediately shouted loudly.

"Thorn, Keeper of Falls!"

So, everyone boiled again, shouting excitedly to the sky at the same time.

The shouts rose from wave to wave, and they focused all their excited eyes on Thorne in mid-air, as if to welcome the arrival of the guardian.

Half-elf ranger Thorne.

The whole town knows all about him.

This brave ranger not only solved the danger of the hobgoblin assassin alone, but even broke into the hobgoblin camp in the Serenity Forest, killing the hobgoblins to tremble.

And in the past two months, facing the multiple invasions of gnolls, Thorne was alone every time, holding two sharp swords, broke into the gnoll camp, and killed the gnolls with his own strength. , the red fire of the camp can even burn until dawn.

Now, another wizard tower with dawn has been built.

For such a person, it is not an exaggeration to call him: the guardian of Waterfall Town, because only this low-key and extremely high-profile ranger can afford this title.

Thorne floated in mid-air under the blessing of the spell, looking down at the cheering crowd below, looking at the excited faces, he hesitated for a while, and finally took a deep breath and said to everyone:

"Once, we lived in a peaceful and beautiful world.

Now, although we are a group of homeless visitors from another world, we have re-established our own homeland with our own will and strength.

Therefore, we must never allow intruders to shatter this hard-earned life.

In the face of the invaders, we must take up arms and resolutely resist, and in this cruel world, we must walk out a pilgrimage road that truly belongs to us.

Let's walk side by side in the dark, to meet the dawn of dawn together! "

...

The Forest of Tranquility, the deepest part of the Hulk Hobgoblin camp.

"Dear High Priest, have you felt the light of the tower?" The Hobgoblin leader stepped into the temple and said respectfully to the shadow.

"Greetings to you, esteemed hobgoblin leader of Heruk." The shadow stretched out his arms, bent his elbows, put his palms on his chest, and bowed slightly to the hobgoblin leader before slowly saying, "Two ways. , a condition."

"Let's talk." The Hobgoblin leader looked at the shadow.

"Wake up the sleeping one..." The dark shadow's low voice echoed in the temple.

"This method is inappropriate." The Hobgoblin leader's expression changed again, and he directly refused.

"The believers of Mara." Sombra said the second way.

"The people of black blood..." The Hobgoblin leader hesitated and asked tentatively, "Is there any other way?"

"The Almighty is watching us." The shadow pointed to the sculpture of the goblin guardian.

"Then ask you to contact Mara's believers." The leader of the goblin was silent for a moment, choosing one of them, and then asked: "So, what are your conditions? Your Excellency the High Priest."

"The Tinder Project is officially launched." Sombra's voice became hoarse with excitement.

"I wish you a smooth journey." The Hobgoblin leader leaned over and saluted, turned and left.

"Walk slowly." The shadow made a strange gesture again to salute the departing Hobgoblin leader.

"Who is it, who made the powerful person faintly aware that his priesthood is in danger." Looking at the figure of the leader of the goblin leaving, the shadow whispered to himself.

…………

Winter City, the top floor of the Wizard's Tower.

A bright light suddenly flashed in the cloudy eyes of the legendary wizard Kaladena, who was sitting cross-legged beside the crystal ball.

Then, he got up and looked out the window, and was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Did you feel anything?"

Tarling:

Unknown energy fluctuation detected!

Source of fluctuations: Emerald Fields, Upper Falls, Upper Town, the Tower of Evindel, the late man of Time and Space Insight.

...

As soon as the voice fell, a cold mechanical sound rang out in the wizard tower.

"When the first ray of hope lit up in the Emerald Wilderness... it means that the God-creation plan will be launched in advance." The legendary wizard Kaladena muttered to himself, sitting cross-legged in front of the crystal ball again.

He struggled and hesitated for a long time in his heart, and finally took out a platinum coin engraved with a floating fortress.

Kaladena threw the gold coin in his hand into the air, and the gold coin shimmering with platinum light rotated in a graceful arc in mid-air, and gently fell into the center of the long-carved pentagram.

At the moment of touching the array, the pentagram array immediately flashed a light blue light.

The platinum coin engraved with the floating fortress was slashed by an invisible force, and fell directly with a crisp sound of 'ding', motionless.

"Where is the turnaround?"

Kaladena looked at the platinum coin that fell instantly, his old body became more stooped and weak, and his ruddy face was as pale as paper, showing a sluggish color.

In this trance, he seemed to see scenes of flickering visions in the shimmering platinum coins.

He saw the endless desert, the burning of countless blood and fire, and the continent that was torn apart...

The final flickering picture freezes to the coastal city that has turned into ruins.

"After all, I still can't hide..." Caladna smiled as if relieved.

I don't know how long it took in the quiet tower, the legendary wizard said slowly: "Call that little guy named Pardo over."

Tarling:

receive!

Connecting to Arcanist Pardo...
