Half-elf Ranger

the next day.

The bright morning light came in through the thin windows of the hotel, but the orange light did not bring any warmth to the house.

Under the illumination of the light, a black figure sitting cross-legged on the ground was motionless, and the thin body let the cold wind whistling in.

"Ding!"

You have practiced through unremitting efforts:

Gain experience points: 300 points!

Get practice points: 100 points!

...

When Thorne's "Qi Refining Technique" was all running, he felt a heat flow spread to his body, instantly dispelling all the cold energy accumulated in his body overnight.

Thorne slowly opened his eyes, glanced at his own state, and fell into contemplation.

Since he completely absorbed and fused the life essence of the devil's will that night, he has vaguely noticed that his qi energy has slightly increased.

Even the time to complete the practice every day is nearly half an hour faster than before, and the practice points obtained are also 50 points more.

"Could it be that most of the devil's life essence has been refined by "Qi Refinement", which has led to a significant increase in the energy of his own Qi." Thorne got up and closed the thin window that had been open overnight, and whispered to himself .

If this is not the case, the power of the devil in the palm cannot be exactly one level, so the abnormality of "Qi Refinement" is likely to be a sign of an imminent breakthrough, Thorne could not help but guess.

Then he looked at the 5,000 training points he had accumulated, and after thinking about it, he assigned it to the Shadow Hand School's strike technique "Shadow Blade Technique".

Shadowblade (Strike): You swing your weapon in a delicate fashion, creating the illusion of a double weapon, slashing at the opponent with both weapons at the same time as you attack.

The function of "Shadow Blade Technique" is to mobilize the power of the shadow. When you use the blade to attack the enemy, it will transform into an identical phantom weapon, distract the opponent's attention, and make your real attack hit.

Of course, if the phantom weapon hits the enemy, it will also cause shadow damage. This first-level move can have unexpected effects when dueling with the enemy one-on-one.

Although the moves of Nine Swords can be completely mastered through continuous training, there is still no such convenience as Thorne's ability to gain experience by constantly killing enemies, which is a relatively good convenience for him.

"Dong Dong Dong!"

At this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door, Thorne was startled, then walked over and opened the door.

"Crench!"

Standing at the door was a thin tiefling girl with a pale red face with a little freckles and a dark red sackcloth on her body, more like a very simple rural girl.

In her hands she was holding a steaming bowl of thick soup and a piece of bread that looked good.

Seeing Thorne opening the door, he looked at him curiously, and blushed slightly when he saw Thorne's appearance after he took off his hood.

"Come in." Thorne glanced at the two modern bows tied on the horns of the tiefling girl's forehead and said.

After speaking, he let the other party into the house.

The tiefling girl put the food on the table, looked at Thorne with curious blue eyes, swayed her tail and said timidly:

"My father said that all people with pointed ears are from the elves, and is the big brother also from the elves?"

"I'm a half-elf race." Thorne replied with a bit of embarrassment when he saw the curious gaze of the aboriginal girl scanning his face and ears back and forth.

After speaking, seeing that the other party didn't want to leave, he asked casually, "The bow on your head is very beautiful. Who gave it to you?"

"It was given by a very gentle big sister. Unfortunately, she turned into a winged monster and flew away half a year ago, and has never come back since."

After the tiefling girl finished speaking, there was a bit of sadness in her expression.

Become a winged monster and fly away? Thorne was stunned for a moment, and even when he wanted to understand the reason, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and emotional.

I am afraid that this player also did not suffer the backlash from the bloodline will. Before dying, in order not to hurt the people of Stallman Town, he used his last sense of reason to forcibly stay away.

Then Thorne chatted a few words with the tiefling girl, and after his repeated gestures, he finally left with some reluctance, and looked back before leaving.

Obviously, adventurers of alien races like Thorne can always arouse their curiosity.

Thorne picked up the steaming thick soup on the table and glanced at it, and found that it was all mushrooms and green vegetables, so he was relieved to finish it with bread.

For Thorne, who used to eat goblins and kobolds in his broth, he was extra wary of what was served.

...

When all the mist left in the early morning dissipated, the noon sun shone straight across the entire town of Stallman Town.

Thorne left the hotel in the town, bathed in the sun and came to Master Kairon's door.

Looking at the hidden door, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, then slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

At the moment of entering the stone house, there is still a rush of heat and a faint smell of fragrant tobacco.

Likewise, the room did not hear the imaginary sound of hammering iron, and it was still so quiet.

Master Kailong lay bare chested on the reclining chair, his chest undulating slightly, accompanied by the flickering of the fire on the pipe, and circles of smoke gradually filled the surroundings.

Another young tiefling was still sitting at a marble table full of various enchanting items.

Gently wiped a long sword, the blade of the long sword was dark red, and the blade was bright pure black, still the familiar shape and outline.

Thorne immediately confirmed that it was his sword.

"Young half-elf, it's a good time to come, please wait a moment." Master Kairon raised his head slightly, exhaled a smoke ring, and said with a little difficulty.

After he finished speaking, he ignored the other party and lay there whimpering incessantly.

"Are you also a player?" The young tiefling, who was wiping the long sword, looked at Thorne and said.

"Not bad." Thorne walked over and nodded.

The player in front of him is not a strange tiefling variant, but a traditional tiefling race, which, like the original inhabitants, belongs to the descendants of the devil.

The first time they met, the other party kept his head down to maintain the armor, and Thorne's eyes did not focus on the other party, so the two had not communicated, and naturally they did not recognize it.

"I'll just say, how could these natives have the shape of an eight-faced Han sword." The tiefling player said while wiping:

"I have a collection of Han swords in my home in the real world. The sword is straight, unpretentious when it is sheathed, and sharp-edged when it is unsheathed. I like this grand style very much, it gives a sense of righteousness and domineering. feel."

After the tiefling player finished speaking, he handed the long sword to Thorne and whispered:

"After this long sword was completed, Master Kailong performed a mysterious sacrificial ceremony last night, resulting in serious injuries. He has been lying there without getting up since last night."

"Mysterious sacrificial ceremony?" Thorne glanced at the old tiefling and couldn't help but wonder.

"I don't know this very well. In short, Master Kairon seems to have paid a great price for this long sword. You can ask yourself." The tiefling player shook his head and said.

Hearing the words, Thorne took the long sword and walked towards Master Kairon.

When he walked in front of the old tiefling and looked at him, his expression showed shock.

At this time, Master Kailong seemed to be a few decades old all of a sudden, his scattered white hair was scattered at will, his sunken eyes looked cloudy and lifeless, and the furrow-like wrinkles on his face showed a sense of the vicissitudes of the years.

"Master Kairon, who are you?" Thorne asked subconsciously.

Master Kailong's trembling right hand slightly struggled to put the pipe to his mouth and took a deep breath, spit out a smoke ring, and said with regret: "The main material of this sword is the container of immortal evil, and naturally it is to be introduced. A devil's soul is the most perfect, but unfortunately it failed."

"So you suffered the backlash from the devil." Thorne's expression sank, and he immediately guessed the reason.

Master Kailong's Demon Sect Master is a demon from the bottomless abyss. Judging from the other party's situation, he must have failed in holding the demon summoning ceremony.

"That's right, a perfect weapon has a little flaw, and it's always a little unwilling." Master Kairon showed a bitter smile.

"You have done a good job, Master Kairon, I will personally complete the final step." Thorne bowed deeply to the old tiefling and said slowly.

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in the future. Can I give this sword a name?" Master Kairon shook his head and said.

"As the forge of this long sword, you should choose its name." Thorne said not very concerned.

The name of the long sword "Dark Embers" was obtained by the dwarf player. Although Thorne complained many times, he never changed it.

"That's called: Slaying Demons! Slaying all the demons means." Master Kairon said without hesitation, his turbid eyes seemed to be filled with endless hatred.

"Okay, it's called Demon Slaying." Thorne nodded and agreed, "Then Master Kairon should rest early."

After finishing speaking, Thorne took out a large bag of gold coins from the dimension bag and put it on the table and turned away.

When Thorne walked to the tiefling player, he paused again, and couldn't help but ask, "Does Master Kairon have a grudge against the Abyss Demon?"

The tiefling player was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, Master Kairon's otherworldly sect master is an abyss demon. When he advanced a year, he failed to resist the temptation of the demon, fell into a state of madness, and killed his own. family."

After the tiefling player finished speaking, he hesitated and then said: "Actually, as long as the demon mark on your hand lets him study for a few days, it is very likely that he will not be attacked by the demon, but he did not force it on you."

Hearing this, Thorne paused for a moment, then clenched the long sword in his hand tightly, and disappeared from the door without a word into the flaming twin Valens bushes.
