Half-elf Ranger

squeak...

In the dim sewers, several mice with flashing red eyes screamed and disappeared into the cracks in the wall.

After a while.

A group of slightly hurried footsteps echoed in this not very spacious space.

Tick!

The sewer pipes that have been in disrepair are constantly leaking water droplets, forming a pool of silted water on the ground.

In this dimly lit space, there is a faint fluorescent light environment, the source of light is the glowing moss that crawls the floor and walls and the ferns that grow in the sink.

These plants are common in the Underdark and are the main source of light for the monsters living there.

Thorne held a long sword and led a group of players to the front of the sewer.

At this point they were walking in a main sewer pipe, the size of a block, with parallel gutters and sewers in the middle, and flat stone paths for people to walk on either side.

The sewers were cold and damp, and there was also a stinky air. Thorne was used to this environment, and the other players just frowned.

Only the only female player, Andrina, was more responsive, covering her mouth and nose from time to time along the way.

In the dim environment, under Thorne's strict prohibition, no one dared to hold the lighting object, because it was too conspicuous, and it was likely to attract the peeping of evil creatures, and it was a living target.

Of the nine of them, except he and Trundle the troll had darkvision, the vision impact in this low-light environment wasn't that great.

However, after Thorne noticed the faint golden light flashing in Andrina's eyes, he was a little surprised. This should be a special ability attached to the advanced professional dragon warlock.

Because the remaining players are all human races, it seems a little difficult to walk in this low-light environment. They can only follow closely behind Thorne to prevent falling behind.

In this game, Terran players are still the majority. In addition to feelings, the main reason is that the aesthetics of other races' appearance and appearance are really not in line with the public's standards.

After all, when this game was promoted, many players tried it for the ability of virtual reality.

In this game that is said to be able to do whatever you want.

Whether you are strong or not is just a matter of version, and whether you are handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime.

Although when the game was creating characters, in addition to changing the color of skin color and hair color at will, the appearance and height could not be adjusted at will, that is to say, what the reality looks like is still the same in the game.

But in several major mainstream races.

The height of dwarves, gnomes, and halflings directly dissuades 99.9% of players, and the appearance of tieflings, dragonborn and half-orcs is too ugly.

The only people who can see it are humans, half-elves and elves.

As for those non-mainstream races: trolls, kobolds, lizardmen, ogres, etc., except for some with very strong mental qualities or special hobbies (Trendel beside him), no matter how good racial talent players are, they are not willing to to try. .

For example, a giant dragon, a player who chooses this race will be an ugly reptile with two chicken wings after entering the game.

If you want to show your majesty, the ghost knows when it will be, and it is very likely that the entire game career will be a four-legged reptile with wings.

However, the accident in this game made those players who insisted that the Dragon Clan did not delete their accounts and retrain them, as long as they kept going, they would always have a bright future.

After all, the dragon is also the ceiling of the battle power of Toril's world.

Sufficient food, full control, and sleepless sleep, the strength will gradually increase with the growth of age, and the dragon family is so powerful.

And Thorne chose the half-elf race, which is a race formed by the combination of humans and elves. It not only inherited some of the advantages of both sides, but also inherited some of the shortcomings of both sides.

It's a mix of good and bad.

Because he chose a profession like a ranger that relies on skills, and the racial talents of the elves just have bonuses to the longsword and longbow.

However, the physique and strength attributes are slightly insufficient. Human strength and physique are sufficient, but skills and flexibility are slightly lacking.

Half-elves just combine the advantages of both sides, that is, they have good power, and they also inherit the flexible talents of elves and their natural proficiency in weapons.

This is also the choice Thorne made after considering it for a long time.

At this time, the upper part of the sewers they are in is the lower city of Winter City, and their destination is to cross the outer city from the sewers of the lower city.

There is a hidden passage to the wild near the basement of the outer city.

Once, in order to complete the test of the mysterious old man, he obtained the inheritance of the Nine Swords.

Thorne has been alone in this sewer for at least a month, and he is naturally familiar with the terrain here.

First of all, the sewers of Winter City are made up of main pipes that cross into a cross in the entire underground area.

Then other branch pipelines are like a network of capillaries, which meet to the main pipeline from various blocks and buildings in the city.

Eventually all the sewage will be discharged from the outer city into the Sea of ​​Radiance.

The sewage area that flows into the Sea of ​​​​Brightness is said to have been a colony of sea elves in the past.

These peace-loving sea elves, because they could not bear the consequences of the erosion of sewage, could not fight and say nothing, and they relocated their families in desperation.

Then the sahuagin took the opportunity to occupy it.

But obviously these devils from the deep sea are not so easy to talk about.

In addition to their nature, the main reason for the sahuagins to invade Winterfell is likely to be related to this.

The entire sewer system undertakes the urban sewage and drainage functions.

As time went on, even though these pipeline networks were built under the supervision of a mountain dwarf master builder and were of excellent quality, there were still many problems intermittently.

As a result, the ground is full of dirty water, and it is very inconvenient to move.

Because the complex sewers underground are the most favorable hiding places for rogues who walk in the dark and cultists who like to weave conspiracies.

So even if Thorne is very familiar with the terrain here, he does not dare to be careless.

Before Thorne came here, it was occupied by a band of bandits called the Dead Rats.

This is an evil organization composed of lycanthropes and ratmen. This area can directly lead to the lower city where the civilians live and the outer city of the poor along the sewers.

With the complicated terrain of the sewers and the domesticated dire rats and dire rats, this weak rat-man organization is like a fish in water.

Indirectly controls most of the grey tissue in both areas.

Winter City is mainly dominated by a group of nobles, in the eyes of the nobles who started as businessmen.

As long as it doesn't affect their own interests, they basically choose to turn a blind eye to other things.

Even if you kill people casually in the lower city and outer city, as long as the city guards don't find out, or the movement is too loud, no one will take care of these things.

This is also the main reason why player forces have been unable to gain a foothold here.

This is a city with little legal awareness, and the lip-smacking preaching in the real world doesn't work at all.

When your long-winded counterpart is impatient, they will simply say: "Are you teaching me to do things?"

Then: Player pawns!
