A holy emblem of exceptional quality.

Thorne put away the holy emblem, then carefully picked the blooming violet flowers, and then walked towards the spiral staircase, preparing to leave the tower and let the Druid Dust Master help him to cast this bunch of violets that will not wither. buff magic.

The magical technique "Stride" attached to the emblem has the same effect as the enhancement technique "Fengxing" of the desert wind faction, both of which can directly increase one's own movement speed by 20%.

That is to say, under the superposition effect of the two skills, the speed of his full-strength running can almost be said to be as fast as flying.

Overall, this new magic is not bad.

However, he is not a full-time cleric spellcaster, and he does not use divine spells that often, so he is most optimistic about the 2-point perception attribute, which is the most real benefit.

His basic perception attribute was 19 points, and with the blessing of the Moon Goddess pendant, it just reached the critical point of 20 points.

Now adding 2 points again to 22 points, the improvement of his overall strength is still very strong.

After all, whether it is a ranger magic, or various moves of a kendo, their power is determined by the perception attribute.

For him, it is natural that the higher the perception attribute, the better.

Thorne made his way down the spiral staircase, eventually stopping at the first floor of the tower.

The first floor at this time was no longer pitch-dark when he and Andrina first came.

The deep darkness has been dispelled under the light of a few magic torches that never go out.

Looking around, Thorne can see that in this empty hall, there is a small house similar to a closed security hall at the position of the passage leading to the element pool at the bottom of the tower.

The mind flayer Vel'Koz can be seen standing there like a security guard through the clear glass of the hut.

That's right, his main task here is to guard the gates of the tower.

This hut can actually be lifted and closed automatically under the control of magic. When Mara believers attacked the tower last night, it disappeared into the element pool at the bottom of the tower.

At the door of the small hall stood two motionless clay golems.

These two clay golems are the legacy of that high-ranking wizard, Evindel.

Now, with the energy of the element pool, these two door gods can naturally play their due roles.

However, because their challenge level is not too high, in order to prevent irreparable damage, they were not used in the battle last night.

Although Malvasia and Andrina's wizard level is too low to meet the conditions for making a construction golem, they are already preparing for the golem army in advance.

For example, among the more than 100 gray dwarves he rescued from the Underdark, 30 or 40 were selected with good talent, and they were starting to practice the necessary carving and masonry craftsmanship for constructing golems.

Once the two wizards meet the requirements for making a golem, the gray dwarves are responsible for shaping and assembling the various constructing golems, while the wizard is responsible for the internal structure of the golems and activating spells.

At that time, as long as they have sufficient funds on hand, it is only a matter of time before a fully organized Golem Legion is established.

In this regard, Thorne had to sigh that with the help of the goblin wizard Malvasia, the tower is progressing rapidly.

Thorne glanced at Vel'Koz in the small hall and walked over directly.

"The battle last night has recovered so quickly." Thorne said slightly surprised, noticing that Vel'Koz was carefully reading a book about portal knowledge.

In yesterday's battle, although he was the only one on the front line, the three of them also participated in the battle, and Vel'Koz's main task was to control and stabilize the energy transmission of the wizard tower.

Elemental energies can appear gentle and approachable under normal circumstances, but when they come together and are harnessed, they can be very cranky.

Even many unfortunate wizards are killed by violent elemental energy, which is a common thing.

So, when he heard that Vel'Koz couldn't mobilize his energy quickly last night, he took the pressure on himself.

Rao is so, at the end of the battle, this guy was also backlashed by the violent elemental energy, resulting in serious injuries.

However, this is not bad for him, after all, it is only some skin injuries, and the magic treatment can be done directly.

Among the three of them, Andrina was the worst, because she forcibly calculated the protection methods of the high-level blighted person, so that she overused her brain and fell into a coma.

After the battle with the hobgoblins was over, he stayed by Andersina's side until he woke up the next morning, and then he was relieved to go about his own business.

"It's all trauma, nothing serious." Seeing Thorne suddenly come over, Vel'Koz was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile.

"Then you're busy, I'll go out." Thorne greeted and turned away.

"Rumble!"

The door of the tower was directly sensed the moment Thorne approached, and then slowly opened. This is the advantage of having the authority of the entire tower, at least there is no problem in entering and exiting freely.

Walking out of the tower, Thorne admired the afterglow of the sunset that was about to disappear on the horizon, and then walked towards the residence of Master Qingchen in the lower city.

Just after taking two steps, he ran into Lilia and Sigrid's figures.

"Didn't the two of them go to the underground world? They came back so soon." Thorne whispered and walked over.

"Yo! It's a coincidence that I met you here. We just happened to be looking for you." Sigrid was the first to notice Thorne who was standing not far away, so she took Lilia's hand and sped away. go up.

"What's your business with me?" Thorne turned his eyes to Lilia, who followed closely, and found that she immediately lowered her head and let her hair fall to cover her face, like a child who did something wrong Same.

Lilia showed such a strange behavior that Thorne was startled for a moment, and then he guessed.

"Of course it's because..." Sigaret heard Thorne's question, and directly said the purpose of the two.

However, before she could finish her words, Lilia, who was beside her, touched the corner of her clothes and interrupted her.

"Brother Thorne, I'm sorry." Lilia hesitated for a moment and walked to Thorne's side, her tone full of apology: "When there was a battle in Waterfall Town, I was the leader of Waterfall Town, but because of my playfulness , did not rush to the battlefield at the first time."

Two months ago, under the leadership of Thorne, they reached a covenant with the people in the lower city. After the battle last night, the soldiers in the upper city did not organize in the first time because of her absence.

The only thing that is fortunate is that this battle is almost a one-sided situation, so even if there are fewer people in the upper city, the hobgoblin can't make any waves and does not attract the attention of others.

But doing so is sure to create a bad impression on allies, or make them criticize Thorne.

So, as soon as she knew about it, she rushed back and apologized to Thorne.

"As the leader of Shangcheng, you should pay more attention to your behavior, and pay more attention next time. The underground world is still too dark. It's better to go as little as possible. If you really want to go, just say hello in advance."

Looking at Lilia, who was deeply remorseful, Thorne patted her slightly thin shoulder. Although he said so, there was no blame in his tone, because he believed that the other party could understand his meaning.

"Yeah." Lilia was slightly relieved, and nodded solemnly to Thorne.

Although she likes the deep darkness of the underground world very much, and the feeling of riding a black dragon soaring in the dark area makes her seem to have returned to the past, but she also understands what kind of responsibilities she bears, and she can't be a person who will only cause trouble .

Seeing the girl in front of him nodding seriously, Thorne responded with a smile, and immediately turned his eyes to the black dragon Sigrid beside Lilia.

Obviously, the so-called playful should refer to Sigrid, after all, he still knows Lilia's character very well.

"This little girl can't go to the underground world because she wants to have fun. She must have gone together because of Sigrid's soft and hard bubbles." Thorne thought to himself.

Noticing that Thorne's gaze was a bit unkind, Sigrid, who was guilty of conscience, shrank her eyes in fright and moved behind Lilia, daring not to look at him.

"It's weird, why should I be afraid of him? Why should I have a guilty conscience? What a joke, I'm a dragon, I can kill him with one bite, but his small body is not enough for me to stick between my teeth, I'm afraid he is a little ranger What are you doing, it's too embarrassing for the Dragon Race."

Sigrid, who shrugged, suddenly realized that her behavior didn't seem to match her true dragon style at all.

So she met Thorne's gaze confidently, and then, like a proud big white goose with its wings outstretched and its head held high, she glared at him fiercely, as if to say what are you looking at? such arrogant words.

Only then did he turn around and pull Lilia to his side, comforting him indifferently: "It's okay, Lilia, you don't have to be afraid of him, I'll protect you.

If he dares to bully you, I can't beat him to death. Don't forget, he is a pet that I have reserved a long time ago, and the most important thing is that he can't beat me. "

Looking at the arrogant and domineering appearance of Heilong, Thorne was too lazy to pay attention to her.

After all, he can't say it, and he can't beat it. You can still let him do it.

Seeing Thorne's defeat, Sigrid became even more complacent.

"..."

Lilia glanced at Sigrid helplessly, then turned to Thorne and said, "Brother Thorne, let's go back first."

After finishing speaking, under Thorne's gaze, Lilia dragged Sigrid to the depths of the bushes.

In a quiet grove of uptown.

Sigrid walked side by side with Lilia, she stopped suddenly as she walked, her pale green eyes stared straight at the half-elf girl in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Lilia turned around and wondered when she noticed that Sigrid's expression was not right.

"Do you have any unsolvable knot in your heart?" Sigrid asked seriously.

She can clearly feel the depression in Lilia's heart, and she can also sense what she wants, so she has been by her side since she came to Falls on the Town.

Because she saw the same thing as herself in this half-elf girl, why wasn't her former self like this, even worse than her.

At least she still has a Thorne who can care about her, but she is alone and shivering in a dark corner.

Fortunately, however, she stepped out of her shadow and lived a very comfortable life.

Now she only needs to take good care of her beautiful long hair, picky stomach and smiling eyes every day, and it doesn't matter if the sky falls.

In Thorne's words: she was heartless.

"What do you mean by heart knot?" Lilia didn't understand.

"It means that there is something in your heart that you can't untie, like a knot of rope." Sigrid waved, and a thin rope appeared in her hand.

Then she explained, tying the rope into an inextricable knot: "Look, it's like this."

"No." Lilia was silent for a while, then shook her head in denial.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it." Seeing the stubborn girl, Sigrid didn't care, but tied the knotted rope in a bow-like shape and put it in her palm, and said with a smile:

"Have you seen it, since there is a knot that can't be untied, why don't we turn it into a beautiful bow."

"Okay, let's go, don't be in a daze." Seeing Lilia staring at the bow in her hand in a daze, Sigrid took her hand and sighed as she walked: "Our life is not Lin Daiyu, so she won't be beautiful because of sadness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sigrid realized once again that because of spending too much time with Lilia next to her, she was really infected with the bad habit of sighing.

"It's not a good habit," Sigrid murmured in her heart.

She must get rid of this bad habit, and the premise of getting rid of this bad habit is to get this melancholy half-elf girl out of the shadows.

"Who is Lin Daiyu?" Lilia put away the bow solemnly and asked curiously.

"Uh... how should I put it, it's the... heroine of a novel in my hometown." Sigrid rubbed her slightly curly blond hair with a headache, not knowing how to express it.

"You didn't say that you just climbed out of the dragon's egg, opened the dragon's eye, and found yourself in the underground ruins, and then lived there all the time. When did you find your hometown?" Lilia asked again.

"..." Sigrid.

…………

Inside the tower.

"Crack!"

Thorne came to Andrina's door, pushed it open gently, and walked in.

He frowned slightly when he noticed that Andrina was wearing a snow-white pajamas with a soft pillow behind her and reading a book.

Then Thorne closed the door and went to the bed casually, first putting a bunch of violets in a vase on the table.

Then he turned around and snatched the book about astrology knowledge from Andrina's hand. He threw it aside, sat beside her and said softly, "How do you feel? Do you still have a headache?"

"It's still a little groggy." Andrina, who had been robbed of the book, was not angry, but instead leaned her delicate body towards Thorne's side, with a hint of coquettishness in her gentle tone.

"You still read a book with a headache. You should rest more in the past few days, and then think about other things when you recover." Thorne stroked her long loose hair and comforted her.

"Isn't this a bit boring, so I just want to pass the time, who told you not to accompany me." Andrina finished, tamely got into Thorne's arms, arched like a kitten Arch and switch to a comfortable position.

"What's your logic? You insisted on asking me to plant flowers for you. I didn't do it. Now you are complaining that I don't accompany you, so you can't cut him in half. I feel that I am too It's difficult." Thorne gently stroked Andrina's cat-like soft back, pretending to complain helplessly.

"You're right, won't you plant flowers for a while, and come up with me for a while? I didn't give you a death order. You have to plant them all today. Look at the aggrieved look on your face."

Andrina put her head on Thorne's chest, looked at Thorne's cheek, and said with a smile.

What she likes to see the most is Thorne's cute and rich expression, which looks really interesting and makes her laugh every time.

"...Okay." Thorne involuntarily touched the still a little sore waist, because what the other party said seemed to make sense, why didn't he think of it at the time.

"Thorn, everyone is like this, and your hands are so dishonest." Suddenly, Andrina noticed Thorne's pretentious but uneasy salty hands, and muttered dissatisfied.

"It's my own hands, it's none of my business." Thorne forcibly defended.

Andrina, who was lying in Thorne's arms, handed him a beautiful white eye, suppressed a smile and deliberately asked with a straight face: "Tell me honestly, did you tell me when I was in a coma last night? Move your hands and feet."

"The way you were in a coma yesterday terrified me, and it was too late to feel distressed. How could you have time to spare." Thorne looked at Andrina, who was a little naughty, and said seriously.

The battle with the Mara hunters ended yesterday, and he came to the twelfth floor of the tower for the first time. When he saw Andrina's pretty face as pale as paper, and she was in a semi-conscious state, he tensed up. There was a hint of panic on his expression, and it felt as if the whole world was about to go dark.

"It's more or less the same." Andrina's mouth couldn't help but evoke a sweet smile.

Although she was in a coma, it didn't mean that she was ignorant of the outside world. Not only did she know that Thorne respected her, but she also vaguely heard him complaining about Malvasia.

As for her being able to successfully find a trustworthy support, at this time Andrina felt that she no longer needed other pursuits, and it was enough to have him by her side.

Suddenly, Andrina seemed to remember something, so she looked up at Thorne and said, "I almost forgot to tell you, Master Malvasa said that she has something to look for you."

"What does she have to do with me?" Thorne was startled and met her gaze.

"It's about Taring." Andrina replied with a smile.
