Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 242: situation

The Unicorn Tavern was dark and sultry, filled with the smoke of the logs burning in the fireplace and the smell of food baking.

The whole room was empty, with only a dozen players dressed as adventurers sitting scattered around a few tables.

The bright sunlight shone on the counter through a small window on the roof. The half-elf boss held a quill in his hand and half-bowed, and quickly wrote something down on the blank paper, frowning and contemplating.

The boy running the hall was humming an outdated ditty and sat busy by the fireplace, all kinds of wine glasses clinking in his hands.

At this time, the wind chimes hanging at the entrance of the tavern made a clear and pleasant sound, as if to remind the boss that a guest was coming.

The half-elf boss quickly recorded the data and glanced up. When he noticed the two figures walking in, the quill in his hand paused, so that the ink-stained tip left a clump on the white paper. Dark stain.

"There are really two rare guests today. Thorne won't introduce us to this one..." Before the half-elf boss could finish his words, he noticed Thorne's bad eyes and shut up immediately.

"Let's go." Thorne greeted Andrina, the sorceress beside him, and walked towards the table in the tavern.

"Oh, wait a minute!" Suddenly the half-elf boss noticed an adult-sized dark black monster following Thorne, and exclaimed, "Son, did you bring this vicious pet? Take care and don't let it bite your guests."

"boom!"

As soon as the half-elf boss's voice fell, Fulong Beast glared at him viciously, flapped its little wings and jumped onto the counter, grinning at him intimidatingly. Noticing that the half-elf boss was so frightened that he got under the counter, he nodded in satisfaction and turned to Thorne's table with disdain.

"This guy is too annoying. I hope it won't cause trouble for me during the battle, otherwise it will become a burden." Thorne frowned and looked at the Fulong beast who walked over with the steps of disregarding his relatives and couldn't help complaining. one sentence.

"After all, it was once the pet of the legendary druid, and it has also undergone the baptism of the adult green dragon bloodline. It is normal to look down on you, a ranger master." Andrina said with a faint smile.

After Andrina finished speaking, she was about to pull up a chair to sit down when she suddenly noticed the uneven table top, and subconsciously looked up at the ceiling blackened by the fireplace, looking at the spiders leisurely crawling by, with a pretty brow. He raised his head and looked at Thorne, who was sitting opposite, with a disgusting tone: "The pub you brought me to is too bad."

"The 'Sleeping Dragon' tavern on the west bank is the most upscale in Falls Town, but it was reserved by that guy Carlos. The main reason for bringing you here is to keep quiet, the taste is still very good, and the price... In short, this It's a place I used to come to eat often, except for the environment, everything else is ok."

Thorne glanced at the dragon beast, who was sitting half-length on the chair, with two front paws lying on the table, and comforted Andrina, who was frowning a little.

"Okay." Andrina pulled out the chair, took out a towel and wiped it, and then sat down awkwardly.

"Boss, why did you name this tavern Unicorn?" Andrina, who was sitting in the chair, noticed the half-elf boss who came to wipe the table, and asked curiously.

"Because when I escaped from the city of Sept and came here, I encountered a large-armed ogre in the Serenity Forest. At this most dangerous moment, it was a man wearing a unicorn head mark. Reverend Melika rescued me, so I named it 'Unicorn'." The half-elf boss explained with a smile while wiping the table carefully with a cloth.

"It's a female ogre. When Merika's priest found him, he was already carried on the shoulders of the ogre." Thorne added in a serious tone: "If it is a male ogre, He's already hung up."

Andrina smiled knowingly.

"...The 'Sleeping Dragon' on the West Bank is so lively today, why did you bring this beauty to my small place?" The half-elf boss glanced at Thorne helplessly, and quickly changed the subject.

"Just because it's too lively." Thorne said casually, and continued: "Boss, give me a portion of the hardhead trout soup first, and then add some mussels, small fish and eggs from the fierce chicken."

After Thorne finished speaking, he thought about it and added: "Another roast lamb, a large plate of crayfish, better sprinkle a little more fennel, or the taste will be too strong."

"That's all for now, do you need anything else?" Thorne asked, looking at Andrina opposite.

"Is there a drink?" Andrina thought for a while and said.

"Only sour grape juice, but don't worry, the taste is definitely not that sour." The half-elf boss said with a smile.

"Come on, then, that's all." Andrina looked at Thorne and smiled.

"Roar!"

Just as the half-elf boss was about to turn around and leave, the Fulong beast with its two front paws lying on the table roared in dissatisfaction, brushing its presence.

Noticing the eyes of the dragon beast and the meaning conveyed to him, Thorne smiled helplessly, and said to the half-elf boss who stopped in his footsteps: "Five servings of Violent Pig Barbecue, as long as it is half cooked, the whole Violent Rabbit is fine. Come to two, pay attention to these barbecues to put more peppers, the more the better."

"What? You still want to drink?" Upon receiving the telepathic message from Fulong Beast, Thorne glanced at it in surprise, and found that Fulong Beast nodded humanely, his fierce eyes full of anticipation. , and his head suddenly became big, and he instructed the half-elf boss: "There is another big bottle of Dwarf Crazy Water. Forget it, just come with two bottles."

"According to your way of eating, you will be poor soon." Thorne smiled at the Fulong Beast, reached out to touch the Fulong Beast's head, but was shot directly by the other party's claws. Give the ranger a disdainful look, then turn his head to the side.

"..." Thorne shook his head and smiled helplessly, chatting with Andersina during the waiting time.

At this time, the tavern door was accompanied by the sound of rapid wind bells, and four figures walked in.

Then he picked a place at random and took a seat at the table to the left of Thorne and Andrina.

"Today's luck is really good, I found a litter of violent wild boar cubs, and I can live happily for a few days." The brutal voice of the barbarian player sounded first.

"Do you think that Druid named Qingchen can really tame the cubs of violent wild boars?" The human ranger took a sip of a glass of beer brought by the clerk in the running hall, and said with some doubts.

"You don't care, as long as we have money to make money, what are we doing with so much leisure." The dwarf warrior drank the wine directly.

"I heard that Waterfall Town is still recruiting guards, and that old smoker from Torvey also made it clear just now that as long as the contribution is enough, how about assigning wives?" said:

"One gold coin a month, a house for a full year, and if the contribution is high, a wife is allocated. This benefit is much better than our adventure in the wilderness. I'm already moved."

"Wives are also assigned, who would believe it? As far as the player group in Waterfall Town is concerned, the ratio of male to female is as high as 50 to 1. Is it enough?" The human ranger complained.

"Who told you to share female players, even if they are willing to share them with you, just like your bitterness, do other girls want to?

It is said that after the Hobgoblin in the Serenity Forest was driven away, the upper management of Waterfall Town began to purchase slaves from Sept City and the Northland Wasteland. The so-called allocation of wives should be selected from these people. ' the barbarian explained to the human ranger.

"I don't think so much. The tragedy of last year has not made your memory long. This is a life-threatening industry." The dwarf warrior wiped the wine stains on his beard, picked up the wine bottle and poured another glass, and said helplessly.

"It's not like we are working hard in the wilderness. If there is a stable place, it is indeed worth trying." The elf wanderer replied: "However, it will have to wait until the gnomes are driven away."

"I remember that you didn't have a good time in Sept City before, why did you come back here to develop." The human ranger looked at the elf wanderer and wondered.

"Joining the original inhabitants in Sept City, although there is no danger, but the level upgrade is extremely slow, there are still too many rules, and you have to bow your head or something, can't stand it.

Once, when a friend of mine was standing guard at the gate of the city, he saw a beautiful noble witch, he rolled his eyes and thought about it in his mind, and the witch placed a "detection". Thought" spell, and was beaten to death. "

The elf wanderer seemed to have some unbearable memories.

"Why don't others let go, but cast it on him, it must be that his temperament has not been restrained, or he has been staring at someone for a long time, which makes people very uncomfortable." The barbarian sneered:

"Have you not noticed, the local commoners in this world have a deep fear and respect for the nobles or the strong, and they almost kneel when they see that waist.

Only most of us look like a thorn, and you are the most conspicuous in the crowd.

That's why I don't like to live in those places. I don't care what you think about me. Anyway, I want to join the forces of Waterfall Town. It's impossible to work part-time, and it's impossible to work part-time in this life. "

"I said that you are true. The elves didn't take advantage of such a handsome appearance, and they came here. If I were you, I would stay in the boudoirs of those noble ladies in Sept City and be happy every day." The dwarf player raised his head to drink a cup, and pouted at the elf wanderer with disdain.

"He's tried." The barbarian smiled at the elf wanderer.

"Really, I heard that the lives of the nobles are extravagant. They even use milk for bathing. After they are stripped, they are like peeled eggs. How about it, doesn't it feel great to lick from head to toe? "The dwarf warrior was suddenly interested, licked his lips, and stared at the red-faced elf wanderer with gleaming eyes.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

When the elf wanderer who was drinking, heard the dwarf warrior's words, he suddenly felt nauseated for no reason, his stomach rolled over, and he began to vomit frantically.

"Don't mention it again." The elf wanderer who had recovered his strength glared at the barbarian: "I'll rush you to mention this again!"

"Hey, last time I saw you smuggled back a mother goblin, what's it for?" The human ranger put down the wine glass, looked at the dwarf warrior and asked curiously, "Don't tell me it's used to cook for you."

"Let me just say, today I made you sway even if you moved a stone, so that's how it is." The barbarian had an expression that I understood.

"boom!"

"Don't spit, which eye did you see?" The dwarf warrior who was giggling heard the words, slammed the table with his eyes, blushed and roared at the human ranger.

Thorne glanced at the quarreling people, and took Anderina to a table farther away: "It seems that Torvey and Carlos have considered the future development of Falls Town, and their vision is quite long-term. "

"What's the point of doing this?" Andrina said.

"After all, the number of players is always limited. If one dies, there will be one less. If there is no new force to join in the future, then Waterfall Town will not be able to develop at all. This not only fills the vacancy of the population, but also allows them to have a stable home." Thorne thought for a moment and explained to her.

"But the premise of all this is that the trade route to Sept City will be opened." Andrina asked curiously: "You are so confident in driving away the Heruk Hobgoblin in Serene Forest?"

"With the current strength of the two towns, they can only barely protect themselves, and it is indeed very difficult to completely drive them away. After all, the hobgoblins in the Serenity Forest are a group of regular troops.

Master Qingchen learned that these hobgoblins not only planned to unite with the lizardmen of the Bottomless Swamp, but also contacted the kuo-toa from the Shadowmoon Inner Sea through the intelligence network of the Jade Garden. "

Thorne frowned and analyzed: "The ambitious hobgoblins have a very clear purpose, which is to prepare to occupy the entire Emerald Field."

"At that time, I'm afraid that the five towns will not be peaceful." Andrina worried, thought for a while and then said: "Why don't they join forces with other towns to completely eliminate the threat of hobgoblins. "

"It's not that easy to unite." Thorne shook his head: "Twilight Town and Iron Horse Town are the closest to the Bottomless Swamp, and the lizardmen are always a hidden danger that cannot be completely eliminated. Stallman Town has to face The threat of gnolls, because the best shortcut to the Great Swordscar Mountains is Dragon Falling Canyon and Stallman Town across the Emerald River, and the rest are open plains."

"Then what are you going to do next?" Andrina asked, staring at Thorne.

"Me?" Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that the hardhead trout soup had been delivered, so he got up and filled a bowl for Andrina, handed it to her, and said:

"I plan to use the Heruk Hobgoblin of Tranquility Forest as a dungeon. With my current strength, the Hobgoblin guarding the periphery does not pose any threat to me at all. It can be said that it can come and go freely. It can annoy them too."

"Brush the copy?" Andrina looked startled and laughed, then took a sip of the fish soup in the bowl, frowned slightly, and said a little disappointedly: "The taste is average, not as good as the old housekeeper. craftsmanship.”

"It's pretty good." Thorne heard the words, took a sip, and found that the taste did not drop, so he said, "You are too picky yourself."

Andrina, who had no appetite, looked helplessly at the two main pets at the table, one was eating with relish, the other devoured the water of madness.

When the food on the table was about to be consumed, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, which made Thorne, who was drinking sour grape juice, move, and when he turned his head, he found a fierce goose the size of an ostrich walking in directly.

"It's the animal companion of the half-elf leader, what is it doing here?" Thorne looked at the Dire Goose in confusion, and found that the Dire Goose saw him and walked straight over.

"What's the matter?" Thorne motioned to the roaring Fulong beast not to be impulsive and walked to the fierce goose.

When he used the "Animal Conversation Technique" to talk to the Dire Goose for a while, his expression suddenly changed, he said hello to Andrina, and immediately ran out with the Dire Goose.

"It's agreed that you will have a guest today." Andrina sighed helplessly, threw a few gold coins on the table, and walked out with the Fulong Beast.
