Half-elf Ranger

"Are you all right?" After neatly eliminating all the banshees that appeared on the second floor of the tower, Thorne sheathed his sword and walked to Andrina's side to ask.

Because he possesses the "Perfect Spirit" of the Steel Soul faction, he is not afraid at all when facing the undead wails of these banshees with a challenge level of about five.

Because these attacks that required a Will save would not have any real-time damage and control effects on him, except for the pain in his eardrums.

After all, he is an existence that can even withstand the chaotic will invasion caused by the immortal evil of the abyss demon. A few banshees really can't make any waves in front of him.

Even the negative energy attack "Touch of Corruption" in the face of the banshee's close contact will be offset by the "protection from evil" inherent in the ring of paladins he wears.

As an extraordinary equipment paladin's ring, it usually looks unremarkable and inconspicuous. When he really faces the undead creatures full of death breath, the effect of this ring will be displayed incisively and vividly.

The first is "protection from evil", so that when he faces various negative energy erosion, he will emit a soft divine energy to protect him from harm.

Then there is the "punishment of evil". When he uses any weapon to attack undead creatures, the sharp blade in his hand will be enveloped by the paladin's ring with a layer of divine power that restrains undead creatures. This effect is like being smeared with a layer of holy water from the temple, Combined with the damage of the Demon Slaying Sword, these spirit body banshees were as simple as chopping melons and vegetables in front of him.

However, the sorceress Andrina in front of her was different.

Although her advanced occupation is a powerful dragon warlock, and she has undergone many extravagant bloodline purification ceremonies, her spellcasting ability and melee combat ability have been greatly improved, but in the face of the soul attack of the banshees, it seems a little bit. pale and weak.

Just a will save of the wailing of the undead can't withstand it.

At this time, Andrina was in deep fear because she had just been wailed by the undead from the depths of her soul, causing her to fail her will save. Only after all the banshees were killed by him did she gradually regain consciousness.

Andrina sat on the ground, smoothing her messy hair wet with cold sweat, revealing a pale and pretty face without any blood, with a helpless look that was pitiful.

She looked up at Thorne, who was standing in front of her, and breathed a sigh of relief. Noticing the half-elf ranger's rare concerned eyes, the sorceress said weakly, "It's not a big deal."

"Get up." Thorne couldn't bear to see the delicate appearance of the other party, so he put his hand in front of her.

Andrina stared at Thorne's outstretched palm, fascinated. To be honest, it wasn't a pretty hand, and it didn't quite match the half-elf face he was hiding in the hood.

Because his palm looked rough, just by glancing at it, she could easily spot the conspicuous marks on his thumb and tiger's mouth left by the friction between the taut bowstring and the hilt. Obviously, this must have been countless times. The glory or pain left for him by pulling the bow and swinging the sword.

Seeing these rough marks made her suddenly recall the scene where the two of them were in the camping tent in the ruins of Talan Village that night. The half-elf ranger told her the reason for the scars with a faint smile.

His indifferent attitude seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with him, and it was from this that she gradually developed a strong curiosity about him, making her involuntarily want to understand this. The past of a half-elf ranger.

Afterwards, Andrina stared at Thorne's face hidden in the hood with dazed eyes subconsciously, and then slowly stretched out her palm on his hand and got up with strength.

"Thank you." After Andrina got up, she first patted the dust on her body, and then said to Thorne with a smile.

Although his palms were very rough, when the two held them together, she could clearly feel the thick calluses in their palms, but she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart, a feeling she had never felt before.

A trace of ruddy appeared on her pretty face, which was as pale as paper, and she showed her charming appearance in front of Thorne without reservation.

Thorne looked at Andrina's pretty face that had regained some blood, and the faint smile in the bottom of her eyes. She looked really beautiful and moving. There was no way in our half-elf ranger's clumsy dictionary. Only beauty can be used to praise.

Then Thorne avoided the sorceress's gaze. In order to ease the strangely awkward atmosphere, he looked at Anderina again from the corner of his eyes and sighed: "Actually, I sometimes think you are quite stupid."

"..." Andrina looked at Thorne with a deep sigh. She originally thought that this half-elf ranger would come up with some moving words, but who would have thought that she would turn around and call her stupid.

Pretty silly.

It turns out that my evaluation in your eyes is these three words.

Sorceress Andrina's original good mood was washed away. She took a deep breath and repeated these three words silently in her heart.

Immediately, her slightly resentful eyes quickly turned into a beautiful white eye that caught Thorne's eyes, and then she clenched her fists again and stood beside him in silence, waiting for the other party's next words, as if a If you don't agree with your words, you have to act.

"This is a different world that is unfamiliar to us. No matter if you are in contact with the original inhabitants or people from the same world, you should always maintain a vigilant heart. If you were someone else, do you think you can still live to this day? "

Thorne didn't care about the other side's eyes, and he warned the sorceress in a sincere tone.

When Andrina heard the words, she slowly fell into contemplation, her dignified expression seemed to have heard Thorne's words, and the two remained silent for a while.

In the dimly lit rotunda, only the small fire element summoned by Thorne was glowing and glowing, making the figures of the two glow red, and at the same time its two flickering light blue eyes wandered back and forth between them.

Under the strange atmosphere, the sorceress Andrina suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Thorne and said softly, "So, do you dare?"

"..." Although the other party's tone was very light and flat, Thorne still heard the obvious ridicule in his tone. The sudden words made him speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it.

He is not a fool. He was so provocatively provoked by a beautiful woman. Thorne thought he had to do something to fight back. This is a rather serious problem.

So Thorne looked at Andrina, which gradually turned into a triumphant look, and walked closer. Before the sorceress could react, he directly reached out and took her delicate body into his arms, sniffing the intoxicating The body fragrance, Thorne grabbed the slender waist and palms involuntarily, and then he took a deep breath, calmed down his undulating heart, looked at her with a calm look again, and whispered: "Do you want to try? ?"

After reacting, Andrina's face became hot in an instant, she immediately exclaimed and pushed him away.

Seeing Andrina's hurried break free, Thorne didn't stop it, on the contrary, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his rash move would make the other party wrap around his neck or fire a fireball. Then the next embarrassment is him.

However, it was clear that his guess was correct, the other party was not a frivolous woman.

"Ha ha…"

A faint chuckle seemed to be caused by seeing this farce and couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the movement, Thorne looked straight, his right hand involuntarily touched the position of the sword hilt, and at the same time signaled the embarrassed sorceress Andrina beside him to keep quiet, and then looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly.

There are also unknown enemies hidden in the dark!

Thorne, who has always been confident in his own keen intuition, did not notice the existence of the opponent at all, which made him have to worry about whether the enemy's strength could cope. From the chuckle he made just now, he could clearly judge that the secret enemy should also be Similar to the existence of a banshee.

But what puzzled him was why the banshee didn't choose to make a sneak attack.

This is not in line with their character. After all, they are all undead creatures that have been cursed and transformed by a group of elven women. After becoming a banshee, they extremely hate all living creatures, and they are ruthless to any creatures who dare to invade the territory. .

The banshee who was hiding in the dark seemed to have a peeping habit, she couldn't help laughing when she saw the farce between the two, and accidentally exposed her tracks.

This is a weird banshee.

"What happened?" Noticing Thorne's sudden dignified expression, it didn't seem like a joke, Andrina ignored the awkward atmosphere just now, and immediately leaned in front of her and asked softly.

"I heard a light laughter like a banshee just now, but I don't know where she is hiding." Thorne lowered his voice and said to Andrina. After speaking, he slowly drew out his long sword and carefully observed the surrounding environment. .

"It's easy, let me help you find it." Hearing Thorne saying that there were still uncleaned banshees around, Andrina chuckled and said without hesitation.

- "Spell Level 1: Detect Undead!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw her gently waving her slender jade hand, and an almost invisible magic light quickly spread around the rotunda with her as the center.

"Om!"

It only lasted for a while, Andrina's magic aura searched for the location where the banshee was hiding in the hall. In the dim space, a strong magic aura suddenly flashed from the ruins of a pile of marble columns.

Thorne, who had been ready for a long time, had a thought, and the Demon Slaying Sword instantly burst into flaming flames.

"do not want!"

"Please, don't hurt me!"

It seemed that he felt the dangerous aura on the Demon Slayer Sword, and when Thorne was about to set off to rush towards the Banshee's position, there was a hurried sound of begging for mercy.

"Wait a second!" Andrina was startled when she heard the begging for mercy, and immediately stopped Thorne.

Thorne didn't know what the other party meant, but he still chose to obey Andrina's orders, just like when he encountered two clay golems on the first floor.

Then he extinguished the hot flame on the blade, and scolded the position where the banshee was hiding: "If you don't want to die, get out now!"

"Why are you so fierce? Don't scare her, can't you hear the crisp voice just now? This is obviously a young girl."

Andrina complained to Thorne, then looked at the location where the banshee was hiding, and said softly, "Little sister, come out, the two of us are not malicious."

The sorceress's words of kindness echoed in the hall, and after a brief silence, a burst of small footsteps came from the bunker of the broken marble column.

Thorne took two steps forward gently, blocking in front of Andrina, then clenched the demon sword and stared coldly at the position where the banshee was hiding.

In this way, under the gaze of a cold and soft gaze, a girl with a pale face first stretched out her head and glanced fearfully at Thorne and the shining fire element not far away.

When she saw the sorceress Andrina, she seemed relieved, and timidly walked out of the hiding bunker.

Appearing in front of the two of them was an elf girl in a long pale white shattered dress. Her slender body was looming under her clothes, and her pale skin revealed a morbid state under the illumination of the fire element. Her long gray-white hair was scattered. Like a color that has lost its breath of life, there are no pupils in the pair of beautiful eyes, showing a faint blood red.

"It turned out to be a real banshee." Seeing the elf girl appearing, the sorceress Andrina looked at her with obvious surprise.

There are two kinds of banshees.

One has a body, and the other has no body, the so-called spirit body.

The former is a kind of physical banshee that must use special rituals to consume a huge amount of elemental energy to transform successfully. It has self-consciousness and learning ability, and has a high growth potential. It belongs to the top group of undead creatures.

The latter is the ordinary banshee that Thorne met before. They are some elven women who were cursed by banshees. They were transformed into spirit banshees after dying in endless pain and torment. Because there is nothing, they can be immune to all non-magic. Physical damage of the weapon.

But hating any living creature because of their own death leads them to be loyal to killing and torturing any living creature for satisfaction.

"It's okay." Andrina noticed Thorne's worried eyes, smiled and gave him a reassuring look, then slowly walked towards the elf girl.

Thorne clenched his sword and followed him vigilantly.

"Little sister, what's your name?" Andrina walked over to the elf girl, gently stroked her long gray hair, and said softly.

Under the touch of the sorceress, the elf girl who was very nervous gradually relaxed, and there was a trace of innocent smile on the corner of her mouth, and a pair of curious eyes patrolled back and forth between Thorne and Andrina.

When she heard Anderina ask her name, her blood-red eyes immediately showed a hint of confusion. When she tried to recall something, a painful expression suddenly appeared on her morbid pretty face. Only shook his head lightly.

"Then what are you doing here alone?" Andrina looked at the confused elf girl, thought for a while and asked again.

"I can't remember anything, I only know that there are many bad sisters who have no body here to bully me every day, but I don't know where to go." The elf girl stood quietly in front of Anderina with a deep expression on her face. Unexplainable sadness emerged.

"It seems to be amnesia," said Thorne, who was standing behind him.

"That's true. After all, a banshee with a body is an accident in itself. If other accidents happen, it's not surprising." Andrina nodded slightly, looking at the elf girl beside her and said slowly.

"Then what are your plans in the future?" Andrina asked with a change of expression.

"Plan?" The elf girl wondered, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of these two words.

"You mean where do you want to go?" Andrina explained, stroking her long hair.

"I don't know." The elf girl shook her head gently.

"Would you like to stay with my sister in the future?" Anderina asked tentatively with a happy expression when she heard the words.

When the elf girl heard the words, she first looked at Thorne who was standing behind her, with her faint blood-red eyes staring at him, until she stared at Thorne's stern face with a reluctant smile, and then turned to look at him. Andrina, with a naive smile:

"The big brother behind me killed the bad guy who bullied me, and I like you very much, so I am willing to be with you."

"This elf girl is an undead creature, do you really intend to keep her by your side?" Thorne leaned over to Andrina, glanced at the smiling elf girl, and whispered to her.

"It's okay, her memory has been completely lost. She is just like a child. When I have time, I will sign a contract with her, so I don't have to worry about backlash." Andrina shook her head slightly and said to Thorne. own plans.

When Thorne heard the words, he ignored the other party and began to look at the surrounding environment, trying to search for some items left by the wizards after their deaths.

Thorne roamed every corner of the rotunda in the whispers between Andrina and the elf maiden.

after awhile.

Thorne frowned and dropped a staff he picked up, looking at the magic weapon whose inner core had been damaged into a junk, looking confused.

He scoured almost all the corpses in the entire rotunda, but except for some money, all the magic items found were damaged, and none of them were well preserved, which made him have to wonder.

So Thorne walked to Andrina and saw that the sorceress took out many small mechanical toys made by gnomes to make the elf girl happy, and immediately motioned her to come over.

"All the magic items in the hall are damaged, as if the magic power condensed by the inner core has been drained." Thorne threw a beautiful ring with damaged inner core to Andrina and said, "You didn't mean the real banshee just now. Birth was an accident, so I suspect something is wrong with this banshee."

Andrina glanced at the elf girl who was having a good time sitting on the ground, then turned to Thorne and said, "This banshee is probably a premeditated transformation, but unfortunately she has lost her memory, otherwise she can ask some news."
