Half-elf Ranger

In the dim underground ruins, through the shimmering light of the flora, you can find two figures emerging from it and walking forward silently.

When Thorne felt the road under his feet become smoother and smoother, he finally realized that under Sigrid's leadership, he had been freed from the rough and rough stone road of ruins.

Along the way, the lattice of marble floors becomes more and more conspicuous, until it becomes a regular avenue, and a black city wall shimmering.

Looking at the source of light in the direction of the city wall, Thorne could clearly discern that it was a regularly placed blue and white light source, not the light from the fungal mushrooms randomly growing by the roadside.

This light is more like the lighting of street lamps, and this light comes from two huge stone gates with intricate carvings below the city wall.

"Stop here! Report the name and purpose of your visit!" As the two approached the gate more than ten meters away, a voice commanded in dragon language.

As soon as the voice fell, rows of heavy crossbows that had already been loaded appeared on the battlements to lock Thorne and the two of them. The sharp crossbow arrows flashed a cold and cold light under the light of blue and white light.

Immediately afterwards, a kobold soldier appeared on the city wall, whose whole body was covered with sturdy black scales.

When he saw Sigrid's figure, his expression suddenly changed, and his scarlet pupils flickered with uneasy light, and he immediately squatted on the ground and said in a terrified tone:

"Also ask the great black dragon queen to convict, because your most loyal servant didn't recognize your honorable face at the first time, subordinates should be damned!"

Then there were bursts of rapid metal collisions, all the kobold guards on the city wall were all crouching on the ground, shivering, and a dog-like whimper.

"Open the city gate." Sigrid ordered indifferently without even looking at the subordinates on the city wall.

"Boom!"

As soon as the words fell, the kobolds who had been granted amnesty immediately became busy, and with the lever being pried, the door slowly rose.

Sigrid turned around and glanced at Thorne beside her, with a faint smile on her lips, and walked in first.

Thorne didn't hesitate and followed.

There are no neat and orderly houses within the city walls. Except for a magnificent Bahamut temple in the distance, most places are still crumbling ruins, and only a few completed buildings.

However, in the cracks of many ruins, Thorne saw dense caves and a few kobold babies sticking out their heads to probe their brains.

Apparently, these kobolds lived in burrows.

"You're so boring, you don't talk much the whole way." Noticing Thorne was following, Sigrid finally couldn't help complaining to the Ranger.

"Why do you want to talk, I'm afraid that you will get in the wrong words. What should I do?" Thorne replied calmly.

Thorne didn't want to make any comments on the black dragon girl threatening the red dragon player Argotus. He only knew that the girl who had lived in the underground ruins for 400 years must have something wrong with her brain.

Therefore, he doesn't want to argue with the other party, the only hope is to handle the matter at hand well and stay away from the other party as soon as possible. If he loses his nerves and forces him to do other things, it will be embarrassing. After all, he can't beat the other party.

"Don't worry, I have reserved your own Dragon Knight position for you, so there will be absolutely no other arrangements."

Seemingly aware of Thorne's inner worries, Sigrid looked at the half-elf ranger shrouded in a cloak with innocent girlish eyes, and wanted to reach out to pat the ranger's shoulder, but was flexibly avoided.

"..."

Thorne remained silent again, and in order to avoid the other party's half-smiling gaze, he turned his attention to two orc slaves in the distance driving a group of subterranean beasts and grazing in the moss-covered ruins.

"That group of creatures that look like cows are Loos beasts. All of their skin, flesh, flesh, and milk can be used. Their status is the same as that of cows in our world. They are also the most important livestock in the Underdark. I will invite you to eat Loos beasts later. Ribs and Roths." Noticing Thorne's surprised look, Sigrid explained to him with a smile.

"I know that." Thorne replied, and then turned his eyes to another open area with a blue shimmer, where a large group of goblin slaves carefully took care of the growing fungi in the flora.

"Those fungi are called bluecaps, and are known as 'darklands grains'. The bluecap itself is inedible, but its spores can be crushed into a nutritious and light-tasting flour that makes toast. It also smells of fragrance." Sigrid explained to Thorne again:

"You have to understand that when I stayed alone in this underground ruins for hundreds of years, before I had the ability to transform into human form, my food sources were basically these beasts and blue hat bread."

After she finished speaking, she noticed a strange plant nearby, her pale green eyes flashed, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, when Thorne focused his attention elsewhere, he yanked his arm and ran to the other-looking underground plant.

Thorne, who was caught off guard, was naturally unable to break free from the dragon's pull, and frowned and was dragged by the opponent.

"Thorn, this is the most delicious fungus in the Underdark. You can eat it directly. You can taste it." Sigaret took Thorne to a fungus that looked like a tongue, took off a small piece, and divided it into two parts. Half, eat one piece by himself, and pass the other piece to Thorne.

"Mad tongue mushroom, if the physical immunity is not passed after eating, the eater will be unable to control and speak out all the thoughts in his heart within an hour."

Thorne took another piece of fungus that Sigrid handed over, and threw it away, quietly watching the mischievous girl with an increasingly unnatural look.

"Boring..." Sigrid muttered, trying to stretch out her fist to hammer Thorne's chest, but was easily avoided by the other party.

"Little girl, please pay attention to your behavior, don't be too casual." Thorne glanced at the other party helplessly, and consoled in a serious tone.

"Do you like small animals?" Suddenly, Sigrid said coldly.

"Of course I do," Thorne replied despite his confusion.

"Then have you ever seen a cute little animal before and couldn't help reaching out and petting it." Sigrid asked again.

"Indeed." Thorne nodded.

"Then did you get permission from these little animals when you touched them?" Sigrid said, watching Thorne's expression quietly.

"...What do you mean?" Thorne couldn't keep up with the other party's brain circuit for a while, so he chose to ask the reason directly.

"You are the kind of cute little animal I like, why can't I just touch it." Sigaret, holding the sheathed long sword in both hands, jumped in front of Thorne, blocking his way, and said confidently .

"Is this the same thing? We are human, so there is a difference between men and women. Don't you even know the most basic etiquette?" Thorne stopped and looked at the problem girl in front of him with a headache.

"No! You're wrong." Sigrid retorted with a solemn expression, her pale green eyes stared at Thorne's cheeks again, until she turned her head away, and then continued:

"I am a dragon, and you are a half-elf. In the eyes of our dragon family, all creatures can be regarded as cute pets by us."

"Crazy!" Thorne dropped a sentence, dodged Sigrid who was in the way, and walked towards Bahamut's temple from the other direction.

"Why am I going to the temple? Aren't we going to the Underdark?"

After taking two steps, Thorne stopped and muttered to himself in doubt, then returned to the girl's side and said, "You didn't mean to take me to the swordsmith, why did you take me to Bahamut's temple? What are you doing?"

The temple of Bahamut, the platinum dragon god, is the most complete building complex in the entire underground ruins. It can be preserved from ancient times to the present. Thorne believes that it must be caused by the protection of the dragon god.

However, it is ironic that the temple of the platinum dragon **** was occupied by the black dragon among the five evil dragons, and a large group of kobolds survived.

"Because I live in the temple, since I want to travel far, as a woman who loves beauty, I naturally have to dress up beautifully." Seeing Thorne returning, Sigrid smiled and stretched out her hand. He brushed the long blonde hair from his shoulders behind him.

"You didn't admit it to yourself just now, you are a female black dragon, you are not a woman." Thorne reminded her directly.

"But I'm in human form now." Sigaret opened her arms and walked around in front of Thorne, and said with a smile: "Since I'm in human form, it is natural to follow the way of human life."

"Then hurry in and clean up, I'll be waiting for you here." Thorne really didn't want to say more, his tone was a little impatient.

After Thorne finished speaking, he was about to find a place to sit and have something to eat. While recovering his strength, he waited for the other party to pack up and set off together, but suddenly found the girl holding the sheathed long sword, standing there quietly and saying a word No hair, staring straight at himself with pale green eyes.

"Let's go." Thorne realized his gaffe, replied a little helplessly, and took the lead in the direction of the temple.

Sigrid behind him looked at Thorne's back, smiled slightly, and followed directly.

…………

Under the leadership of Sigrid, the two walked into the spacious and bright Bahamut Temple together.

Bahamut is one of the most famous dragon gods, also the **** of good dragons, the guardian of the seven heavens, and the unique platinum dragon of the multiverse.

His ministry is the Dragon of Goodness, Metal Dragon, Wisdom, Enlightened Justice, and his emblem is the North Star above the Milky Way nebula or a reptilian eye over a piece of gold.

Thorne first glanced at all the surrounding marble pillars with magnificent dragon reliefs, and then walked to this very well preserved Bahamut sculpture (a huge platinum dragon), looking at this majestic belt. Looking at the humble platinum dragon, he leaned over and gave a slight salute.

This is a lawful good platinum dragon **** and one of the most sympathetic deities in the entire multiverse, so Thorne's salute is heartfelt respect, as there is always good in him.

Seeing Thorne saluting the statue of the Platinum Dragon God, Sigrid's eyes flashed with surprise.

Then Thorne followed Sigrid to a house in the deepest part of the temple, and in the silent walk, he finally let him see other people except the two of them.

Thorne glanced in surprise at the kobold warrior standing guard in front of the door, and followed in Sigrid's footsteps.

The two kobolds standing guard at the door were almost as tall as him, and the scales exposed from the sturdy armor could be found to be very similar to dragon scales.

"Aren't you surprised by the two kobold guards at the door." Seeing Thorne walk into the room, Sigrid casually leaned against the soft sofa and crossed Erlang's legs.

"Is it the Kobold Dragon Vein Warlock?" He sat down in a random place and asked casually.

"This is a dragonborn kobold. In very rare cases, some female kobolds will produce a kobold with true dragon blood. It is an atavism phenomenon. Then I will give them the scales that I once fell off. , to awaken their weak dragon veins again." Sigrid threw the sheathed sword aside and said casually.

"Then you have been here for nearly 400 years, and how many kobold dragon warlocks have you cultivated?" Thorne looked at the questioning girl in front of him and asked curiously.

"It's not ideal. Only two Dragon Vein Warlocks have improved to level 16, and most of them are hovering around level 10. After all, the potential of the kobold race is too weak."

Siegrit handed Thorne a bottle of bright red wine. Seeing that he shook his head and refused, he took it back and poured himself a glass: "400 years have passed, and batch after batch of subordinates have been boiled to death."

"Have you ever thought about going to the surface?" Thorne said after looking at the girl who was drinking alone with a glass of wine, after a long silence.

"Of course I thought about it, but it's not because the entrance to the surface is too far away, I don't dare to take risks, and I don't have any friends. And there's no danger here, so naturally I don't want to lose the power of my own management, I'm used to it now, but occasionally It would be nice to go out and see the sunrise."

After Sigrid finished speaking, she put the empty wine glass on the table and snapped her fingers.

A moment of effort...

A group of halflings wearing aprons walked in neatly and orderly carrying trays of food, placed all the cooked food on the table one by one, and bowed respectfully to Sigrid, Then turned away.

"Halfling chef, your cooking skills are very good. I bought it at the slave market in the Underdark." Seeing Thorne's gaze on the place where the halfling disappeared, Sigaret finished speaking without any image. He picked up an elbow in a way, ready to put his mouth down, and motioned for the other party to eat.

Thorne retracted his eyes, looked at the rich food on the table, smelled the hot aroma, and his stomach began to protest, so he began to eat rudely, of course, he was not a gentle person.

For a ranger like Thorne, who often drinks cold water and eats dry food that is hard to swallow, as long as it has a little taste, it is considered delicious food in his eyes.

However, today was the first time he tasted the food of the underground world, which made him feel his appetite.

When all the empty trays were removed, and after resting for nearly half an hour, Thorne was still able to reminisce about the smooth and tender Looser ribs, the fragrant blue hat bread, and the mix of underground mushrooms and moss delicious clear soup.

"Can we go?" At this moment, Thorne, who was resting, suddenly noticed the girl who came out of the bedroom, and immediately got up and asked.

"Let's go, but before I go, I'll take you to pick up something, it will make our trip smoother." Sigrid's eyes flickered, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Thorne, who couldn't see what it meant, shrugged helplessly, and followed him directly to the outside of the temple.

"Actually, Malvasia has already told me all about the situation in the Emerald Field." Sigrid suddenly slowed down as she walked, and after Thorne walked side by side with her, she said, "She invited me back to the surface and help them resist the invaders."

"Then did you agree?" Thorne asked subconsciously with a change of expression.

If there is a group of kobolds from the other side, it will be much easier to deal with the attack of the hobgoblins. Moreover, the opponent is a black dragon with strength in his prime, which is still a little deterrent.

"I haven't given her an answer yet, and I thought you would take the opportunity to bring it up to me as well." Siegrit glanced at Thorne and smiled.

After listening to the other party's words, Thorne remained silent, because he did not understand what the other party's words meant.

After all, since the two of them met until now, it hasn't even been half a day. If they suddenly opened their mouths, given the character of the other party, they would definitely make some nonsensical requests.

"You are so dull, I really don't understand how your girlfriend fell in love with you." Sigrid, who couldn't wait for the other party's reply, frowned and couldn't help but complain.

"Don't you want me to help your player territory in the Emerald Wilderness?" Then, Sigrid took the initiative to bring this up again.

"All the gifts from fate have secretly marked prices. If you want to harvest, you must pay the price." Thorne pondered for a while, pretending to be deep.

"What do you mean?" Sigrid froze in place, stopped, and turned to look at Thorne.

"Looks like you don't know anything, that's right."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be pretending, Thorne immediately understood that, after all, the other party had been staying in the underground ruins, how could he know about the insight.

After Thorne finished speaking, ignoring the other's depressed gaze, he remained silent again, and deliberately took two steps to follow behind the other.

The two walked out of the temple and came to a complete building on the left side of the temple, which was flickering with bright fire.

From the moment you stepped into the room, the heat wave and the pungent air rushed towards you, the red-hot steel forged, and the dozens of non-stop smelting that continuously supplied the iron.

A group of underground gnomes, gray dwarves, and mountain dwarves and golden dwarves from the surface were busy beating in the room.

"This is your arsenal? I thought you were just a salted fish and a black dragon." Thorne said with a smile, looking at the clanging and grinding mechanical sounds that reverberated in the spacious room.

"Without strong weapons and equipment support, this place has long been occupied by others." Sigaret said with a smug expression without caring about Thorne's ridicule.

"Lesoth! Come here!" Immediately after, she called to Lessers, who was instructing to carry the ore.

Seeing the kobold warlock running over immediately, Sigrid asked, "Is what I want ready?"

"It was made half a month ago and can be used at any time." Lessers said respectfully, and then looked up at Thorne with contempt, making Thorne feel a little baffled.

Then he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party, and walked directly in the footsteps of Sigrid.

"Thorn, come here quickly, go up and see how it works." Sigrid, who arrived in advance, immediately smiled and reached out to greet Thorne, who had not arrived yet.

"...What is this?" Thorne looked at a metal product that looked like a saddle in front of him and wondered.

However, this item is more than ten times larger than a saddle, and it is also engraved with a mysterious magic mark, which is obviously a magic item.

"Of course it's the dragon saddle, can't you see that?" Sigrid crossed her chest with her arms and looked at Thorne, who was a little confused, with a smile on her face.

At this time, Thorne has already checked the attributes of this item through the "perceive magic" feature of the kendo master.
